Video Post
[At first the screen shows a blur of orange and a bit of floor. Then it turns, shakily, to show Jimmy not looking so good. Face drawn, eyes bloodshot and ringed in hollows, he looks a lot like death warmed over lying curled up on the floor of his cheap hotel room. It could be some sort of flu, but it's mostly a miserable hangover. One he's been nursing in private for most of the day, but his Cubone has had enough. After several headbutts had been ignored, Omi finally simply fumbled with his trainer's 'Gear until he got it recording.]
[Jimmy's been holed up with cheap booze and packaged meals, the realization of his situation having come upon him hard and all at once. He wasn't about to wake up back home. This wasn't some quick little vacation from reality. This was his damned life now and that was scarier than almost anything else that had happened to him these last few months.]
[But the booze had run out, and his money was about to, so here he is in the middle of an unplanned drying out and when he sees Omi set down the 'gear he groans.]
Jesus, what'd ya go and do that for? Nobody wants to see this... hey, turn it back a sec.
[And only when the screen is facing down does he stretch and grabs the machine, rolling over onto his back and making sure his bare hands are out of screen.]
Sorry. Feeling under the weather and Omi's all freaked out, I guess. I dunno if he was trying to call somebody or something, but...guess I look pretty bad, by Pokemon standards. Guess I should be lucky I had pants on when he did it, huh.
But since this is beaming out into the 'gear wavespace or whatever... what do they got around here that's good for churning guts?
And cheap.

Hey, dial it down there, Wolfboy. My lobes can't handle the decibels there.

[So he blinks expressively, and tips his head to one side.]
[But HEY. AT LEAST HE'S NOT YELLING INTO THE PHONE.]

[He meant loudness! Okay! Wrath can be quiet! He drops his voice down to a loud whisper.]
You're not really being killed or hit with hammers, are you?
[Video]
Nah, not really. Just feels like it. Sick, that's all.
[Video]
Oh no!
From germs?

You know how sometimes if you eat too much, you get a bellyache? It's like that. But it's an everything ache.
[Video]
Yeah, that's happened to me a few times.
[Getting used to a stomach that had a maximum capacity limit had been a bit of a challenge at first. The only things that stick around in Homunculus tummies longer than a few minutes are red stones-- everything else pretty much incinerates instantly. Human ones are so inefficient by comparison!]
[Wrath looks a little mystified.]
How much did you eat that your entire everything hurts?
[Video]
Stay away from booze, little buddy.
[Video]
[Wrath echoes this in a sort of hushed tone. He has never heard of this... booze.]
What's that?
Is it like poison?
I know about poison.
Poison's bad.

[For all that alcohol is an incredibly successful tool when it comes to manipulating politicians and alchemists, Wrath has never been all that involved in that particular side of operations.]
[Dante had figured out pretty quickly that he was more useful when you needed somebody 'taken care of'.]

Well, when you're drunk, things feel really good and everything seems like fun, but you're not thinking right. You can do stupid stuff, and if you get too drunk, you can get real sick. Like I did.
But it tricks you, 'cause you think it feels good so it's real easy to keep doing it and get way too drunk.
[Video]
That sounds kinda scary.
I don't like being tricked.
[Video]
So stay away from booze when you get older.
[Video]
Just to be careful.
