[It’s the sudden rush of cold and wet that greet Roy Mustang upon arrival, being dropped rather unceremoniously into the junction of rivers. Sputtering, coughing, sore, and forcing himself to wade through the water to the shoreline, he’s more than a little confused at finding that not only is he devoid of injuries, he’s also been stripped of his uniform, but at least someone was kind enough to leave an open journal lying along the river?

It's like a bad consolation prize: we stole your stuff, so have a journal in which to write about it!

That doesn't stop him from shooting a glare toward the sky he just dropped out of, though.]

Okay, I get it! "Useless when wet". Was that really necessary?

[Shedding water everywhere, he takes a moment to look around, attempting to get his bearings.]

Alright, I was shoved through their little portal into... what looks like the middle of some town that is definitely not any place I've ever seen. Now the question is, how do I get back? And what happened to my uniform?

Not in the slightest.

I think it's different for everyone. I wound up in the middle of the forest.

The middle of the forest is better than the middle of a river. At the very least, you begin your stay in dry clothes.

I never said it was good. It's easy to get lost in there.

...you're still dry. [He'd sooner be lost than wet.]

If you keep walking in one direction, though, you're bound to come upon something, even if it happens to be a cliff or a mountainside.

Point taken.

I'd rather have found a quicker way than that to find the people I was looking for.

Faster routes are always preferable. You did eventually find them, though, correct?

Yes. A couple of them came to me. [Luffy literally flung himself to where Ace was. AHAHAHA that was....yeah.]

You're fortunate to have that level of loyalty among your friends. [Or crazy for trusting others, but he's not sure which it is because he doesn't know the other man's friends.]

Well, two of them were my brothers. Kinda hard not to have loyalty.

[Siblings, huh? Given his experiences with the Elrics, that's something he can understand.]

Understandable.

If you don't mind my asking, earlier you'd mentioned that you could understand my dislike of water..? [Usually he doesn't have people siding with him in that, just mocking him for it, so he's a little curious.]

[Oh, get comfortable, Mustang.]

Ah, yeah. For one thing, I can't swim. If I get thrown in water, I'll just drown. What happened was in my world, I ate a Devil's Fruit. Specifically the Mera Mera Fruit. [Flame Flame Fruit.] All Devil's Fruits makes the user a hammer in water.

And since I'm a flame human, water and I don't exactly mix. It's rather painful when water hits me.

[Geeze! All that from a fruit?]

What's a "Devil's Fruit"?

[HE JUST GOT MORE UNLUCKY CAUSE OF THE FLAME THING....]

It's a type of fruit in my world, and every single one is different. When consumed, they affect the person's body in some way, giving them new powers. The three different types are paramecia, zoan, and logia. Paramecia gives the eater superhuman powers, zoan lets them transform into an animal, and logia turns them into an element.

So you're given superhuman abilities but you drown in a bathtub? That doesn't sound like a very fair exchange.

What did you mean by "flame human"?

Well, not a bathtub, but a deep body of water.

[Changes to video because you will never believe him otherwise. Now, watch in amazement as his arm goes up in flames.

And no, he's not in pain.] Like this.

[Alright, that is interesting.]

And you aren't in any pain? Or bearing any burns?

None whatsoever. In fact, it feels kinda nice.

[You've stunned him to silence. He's never seen anything quite like that before.]

[SCORE. But....the silence makes him a little curious.]

You all right over there?

That has got to be one of the oddest things I've ever seen. Not that it's a bad thing, mind you, just... interesting.

[He laughs.] Don't worry, this isn't even common in my world. A lot of people would agree with you on that. "Interesting" is putting it lightly.
