Well, you've gotten a bit better since Shadows, Nuba! Mind if I join?

Marcus smiled as he took out his violin, completely unnoticed by the other State Alchemists. "Well, as a old thief, I suppose I should take that as a complement." Still, he couldn't help a tongue-in-cheek response as Tasha walked out the door. Pouring as much emotion into it as he could, Marcus...

Marcus grimaced slightly as he saw the ramshackle appearances of those who slowly trailed into the conference room. "Sorry to wake you all. You look like you could use any Z's you can get." He shook his head at the double edged sword of the 3066. "My name is Marcus Leonheart, the Resonance...

Marcus gratefully accepted the tea with a smile. "Thank you, Lieutenant." He stood up as Anton stretched his automail hand, and began to return the gesture when he hesitated, mid-motion, after seeing the back of his hand. His eyes widened as he realized his mistake. Quickly fumbling for one of...

Marcus hummed quietly to himself, composing the notes he would need to encode his latest research. While by nature Marcus was a very generous man, his research was literally destruction itself, and thus could be devastating in the wrong hands. Alchemy required a very specific skill set as a...

Grana looked at Yoje, uncertain. "Huh? What did I do to tick him off? Whatever. Just try to not alienate one of your few friends, Grana." Grana whistled as he heard Yoje rattle off the strengths of Rokushiki. "Well. It sounds like that martial art of yours has got everything covered. Hard and...

Grana sat down across from Yoje, visibly confused. "There was the spiky fishman someone told me about, the annoying Dolphin Fishman that warned Twitchy about my power, and...the...gate...breaker...damn. He was human, now that I think of it. I was so out of breath by the end that he just got...

Grana winced at Yoje's perceptiveness. "Yeah, I suppose. More like I ripped it open." Grana shook his head in anger, both at his idiotic recklessness and his inability to grasp the concept of resonance. "I was remembering the sword style my sensei taught me so long ago. Apparently, all I...

Grana sighed as he stood up, buckled on his sword, and walked out the door. He had noticed a nice little park on the way to the inn, and he figured it would be completely deserted: perfect for what he was planning. He arrived at the grotto and slowly unsheathed his blade, facing a few of the...

Grana smiled as the fishman ran away. He finally took down his portal, and immediately felt new energy rush to his limbs as he shambled over to Peter and the others. As Grana reflected on all that happened, he barely stifled a laugh at all the choices he and the crew had made. "If I hadn't taken...

Grana nodded as Hal jumped past a few pirates to join him. Grana quickly noted that the spear was merely steel this time, not more seastone. "Good. I won't have to worry about Hal accidentally sending me to the grave." As Hal approached, Grana quickly snuck a peek at the barricade. Enough of it...

Grana smiled, as if laughing to fate's little joke when the pirates began to swarm him. "Joy. Not only did I have to fight off a Paramecia user, I have to hold off a fishman battering ram while fighting all these pirates with a useless arm. This is why I don't like believing in higher powers."...

Grana coughed up blood as Yedaj hit him the first time. The attack had been so unexpected, Grana had bit his tongue in reaction to the shock. The next hit sent pain landing through his body as it landed just short of his right shoulder. However, it landed right on the swelling, causing Grana to...

Grana grinned as Yedaj got angry. He was good at making people angry. Perhaps it didn't make him many friends, but angry people made mistakes, and he would prefer to be alive and alone than dead and beloved. "Besides, we enter into this world with nothing and leave it, taking nothing with us...
