[There is much scratching and moving noises before the screen finally clears up. It's pointed straight at the sky before things straighten out. There's a blur where an observant person might be able to recognize New Bark Town and then the trainer appears. She brings about a strange deja vu although it'd be super rare for anyone to actually remember her. She beams regardless, her backdrop a bit of water. There's splashing to be heard.]

Sweet, it's working! Oh, hey there. I'm... Dee. New here, although I keep hearing that's not a recent and spiffy development. Just figuring out this thing...

Still a bit lost, 'tho, I gotta say. [Judging by the laugh she gives, it has not even vaguely occurred to her to be bothered. At all.]

I don't suppose there's anyone out there who can point me in the right direction? Route 29 is looking like the only way out, but even one way streets can be tricky. Besides...

[She trails off, staring up at the cloudy sky.]

...Something seems up.

[Even if Envy wasn't really one to strike up a conversation with anyone, there was something unsettlingly familiar about this girl, and he doesn't like being unsettled for seemingly no reason.] Yeah, that path is the one. Takes a couple days to reach the next town.

...Who are you?

((ooc: hopefully that is okay? :D;;;))

_{[Despite it not being humanly possibly, her grin widens. She doesn't often claim people as 'hers' like her brother can with dreamers or her youngest sister with the mad, but the homunculi have a special tie to her.]}

A few days, huh? Well, I better get a move on! It'll be fun. Poor Ronmeer will be stuck for a while...

I just said my name, Envy. _{[So teasing.]}

_{((OOC: Ffft, totally. So giddy right now, ha. ))}

[Okay, this was getting really strange. He scowled at the girl, trying to figure out what to make of her, or figure out if he'd seen her before at all.] How do you know my name?

We met. A long time ago.

_{[She winks, as if sharing a joke.]}

Yeah, you seem familiar, or I wouldn't be talking to you. [He smirks. Someone who knew his name and claimed to know him? Frustrating, but if he could get her to tell him then this could get interesting. Whether because the girl 'knew too much' and he'd get to threaten someone, or maybe she actually did know him, in which case...he wasn't really sure what to think about that.] So, how long ago was this exactly, hm?

Aren't I just a lucky girl, then?

_{[It's easy to get on his bad side, but she's having fun. Besides, she hardly ever gets to have talks that lead to something not involved with her Family.]}

Real long ago. Dante ages ago.

[Oh, she knew Dante too, and from a long time ago? This was getting even more interesting. Then again, she could mean a long time for a human.] Hmm? So are you one of her acquaintances then? I might've seen you around then. [Somehow, he didn't think that was it. But Dante had gone through a lot of bodies, and not all of her prospects stuck around long enough for her to kill them.]

Something like that.

_{[She shrugs a bit, 'what can you do' going unsaid.]}

She doesn't like seeing me often. If I didn't know any better, I'd say she's actively avoiding me.

[He snorts.] Yeah? Who are you, death? [He goes right on with thinking of who this could be, not having taken that guess seriously at all, because that would be completely ridiculous. Although the more he thinks, the more it makes sense with everything else. But still crazy. He might be half right though, what with the weird feeling he got from seeing her.] Are you human?

_{[There's a beat, and then she's giggling into her hands. It takes her a moment to answer Envy's second and more serious question.]}

For this world? Well, if I want to get involved, I have to be human, don't I?

What're you laughing at? That can't have been right.

[He frowns some, not liking feeling that he was missing some kind of joke on him, but then at what she says he shrugs] Depends on what you are normally. I sure as hell didn't have to get turned human like this. [And now there's some moar frownyface, although not directed at her.]

Hmm. I was just me. How's that for a vague answer?

_{[She chuckles again before becoming a bit more serious.]}

If I'm not human, what do you think I am?

[It takes him a bit to respond, as he considers everything she's told him, and her reactions to what he's said. Well, if he was going to look like an idiot he might as well get it over with.] You are death, aren't you. Cheerier than I'd have thought.

TA DA! Yay, you got it!

_{[Have some jazz hands, Envy! You've earned it! If she had confetti, there is no doubt Death would be using that, too.]}

I never got the whole doom and gloom thing humans have. I'm not that scary, am I?

[He smirks at her, looking pleased that he figured it out. He's decided that she's alright for now, interesting to talk to at least. And definitely someone he was familiar with, both from dying himself and from handing death out to so many others.] Well, most humans aren't too interested in dying. And I haven't had to worry much about you in a while. Although I guess I keep you busy, huh?

But I'm inevitable. Ah well.

_{[She looks amused at his statement. Cocky, isn't he?]}

It's what you do best, Envy. Honestly, with your track record, you practically owe me a vacation. I hope you haven't caused too much trouble around here, at least.

[Oh yes, he is seconded in cockiness only by Greed. He grins at her, still a bit smirkily.] Well you're on vacation now right? But don't worry about me, I've been good here so far~ I can't afford to cause too much trouble before I figure out where I stand.

[He laughs, then shrugs. Oddly enough, he's feeling more comfortable with talking to her now that he knows what she is: not human, and someone he's pretty familiar with.]

Inevitable, yeah. So what are we homunculi then, the ones that got away?

Nah, this is just random lucky happenstance. _{[She tilts her head and winks.]} I'll make you pay for it someday. Somewhere in the Alps? I've always wanted to go skiing. _{[She doesn't mean a word of it. It's a funny image, 'tho.]}

And as for you guys... _{[She leans back, resting on her hands.]} Hm. More like the ones I haven't quite caught up to yet.
