Sorry about this, I know how creepy this has to be, but I’m supposed to keep an eye on you, so you’ll have to… Bare with me a while…
It’s alright I’m already used to it. Just be careful about my blood seal, okay? If you accidentally touch it, I could die… (Looks down, then up) Hey, how’d you guys get to be chimeras anyway?
Well, we were stationed in the east on assignments, some were injured, others well, let’s just say we weren’t useful anymore. They took us some where, for experiments…
Laboratory Five?
That’s right. Greed, he saved us from that damn place and offered all of us jobs working for him if we wanted.
Greed?
He took us out of the cages, and gave us something we could all call home.
That’s right guys. See? This place is handcrafted for outlaws, who don’t fit in on the outside, can hide out for a while.
Tucker…? Tucker! Why are you here?
Don’t misunderstand, Al, I’m not here by choice, I promise.
If things don’t go as planned, the doctor here’s the only one who can cure us chimeras.
I’ll be damned, just like you said, Dr. Tucker, he really is empty inside…
But! But, I’m not the one who told them how to apprehend you, Al.
It’s a pleasure to meet you, kid. You can just call me Greed. I’m your new friend.
Uh! A tattoo of the oroboros!
Hmm, so you know what that is. Well, this should go quickly then.
That makes you a friend of Envy, Lust, and the others, doesn’t it?
I wouldn’t say ‘friends,’ more like sworn enemies, if you want to get down to the grit.
I don’t get it…
See, Al? That is your name right? Tell me, how does it feel to have your soul bound to that armor? To exist as a chunk of solid metal rather then a soft and cushy human worm. To be unaffected by weaknesses, like hunger, fatigue, and old age… You could call that, eternal life, couldn’t you?
Eternal life…? That’s why you kidnapped me?! Eternal life!?
They don’t call me Greed for nothing! I want money! Women! Status! And power! I want everything this world’s selling and eternity is topping the list! Understand? You can help me achieve what I’m going for, Al. And you will help me here, because if you don’t tell me how your soul’s bound to that armor… I’ll break it apart to find out.
I won’t help you. You’re a bad person.
You can act tough for a while if you insist. Just remember that no one’s on their way to save you, kiddo. So you’re at my mercy now.
My brother knows you took me! I bet he’s on his way right now-
Oh, yeah about him. See when I left him he wasn’t feeling too good.
You better not have hurt my brother! You let your guard down. Now, all I need to do is use this chain to-
To do what exactly? Now that was, silly. Oh, sorry bout that Marta. I forgot you were keeping house… Hehehe, I like a man with guts. But, did you honestly think it’d be that easy? I mean if you really want to hurt me you have to do something, kind of like… (Roa knocks Greed's head off)
What did you do that for? I thought he was your friend?!
