While Jade took a couple pictures of the sign and the locals, Double H looked around, wandering not far from Jade's side as he looked for possible threats. Military habits died hard, even though the war was over

"Jade, this area seems safe enough."

"Right." She pointed her camera back up at the sign. "Ooh, is that sign awful. Who put that there?"

Double H smiled. "You could always ask, like it says."

Jade rolled her eyes. "Leave it to you to state the obvious." She lowered her camera and looked at the passerbys. "This is weird. Okay, does anyone know where that sign came from? And I suppose while I'm at it, how do you deal with peacetime boredom?"

	Nope. They haven't even realized they want to date yet, Ed. You may now facepalm at them. "Besides, once they took my uncle Pey'j, I had to keep going to save him," Jade said. "And Double H here stuck with me the whole way. Between the two of them, I got pretty lucky with companions." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh well. It's not like he wasn't slow at figuring that out with Sarah. "Yeah, that'd be pretty good motivation," Ed acknowledges. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Kinda what I thought. So where's the excitement around here, without these 'lols' you mentioned? I'd like to learn more about this place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Um." Ed thinks for a moment. "For me, usually excitement pops up when unpleasant people from variations of my world show up. Other than that, I usually manage to avoid it. The Sin's a good place to eat and get drinks. You might be able to get leads on stuff that may be of interest there. For the record, it's outside the AVF, but considering a chunk of the people that works there, it's pretty damn safe. Or simply hang out there a lot, in the case of someone that's married to one of the people that works there and his father."

	Jade glanced at Double H. "Wanna treat me to dinner, Hub?" Double H felt his face grow a bit hot. "Since you ask so nicely." "Thanks a lot," Jade said to Ed. "Is there any other places besides the Sin where we can get information about this place?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There's cornering and grilling people in the general area although that might not be a good idea since some tend to be cranky and have some sort of ability they can use to make the object of their crankiness go away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, I don't work that way," Jade said. "Who owns this Sin place? If it's good, I might like to do a human interest piece on it, but I'd have to talk to the owner first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Owner's name is Greed." A statue of him emerges from the ground so they can see what he looks like. "Just so you know, he tends to hit on anyone he thinks is good-looking enough and I think you'll hit his radar." He rolls his eyes a little. "He really likes Eds. And alternates of someone else from home." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jade jumped. "How did- where did-? How'd you do that?" She snapped a picture of the statue. "I thought you said you couldn't do alchemy? What was that then?" Meh, Greed? Who's Greed? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ed blinks. "I thought I mentioned that homunculii has assorted abilities. Oh well, not like I expanded on it if I did. Controlling the earth is mine. It took a few years to figure out and I only really did so because of something my wife gave me back when we were still friends. At some point, I realized that I've become a little too good and asked her some stuff about how what she gave me worked."

	Jade blinked. "Amazing. Well, yes, you did say that, but I wasn't expecting a statue to pop out of the ground. So that's Greed, huh? Interesting looking fellow. Is that a dead mink around his neck?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ed laughs. "That's the collar to his... whatever the hell he's wearing. I'm not quite sure if it's supposed to be a vest or jacket. Maybe a combination of both." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh jeez, it's hideous," Jade said. "Well, I'll refrain from mentioning it. I wanna be on his good side, if I'm going to do a human interest story on the place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I doubt he'd mind the place making the papers. Publicity means more customers, which means more profit. And he lives up to his name very, very well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Excellent," Jade said. She looked at Double H. "Shall we go, partner?" He smiled. "After you, Jade." He looked back at Ed. "Thank you for the information." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You're welcome," Ed says. Hopefully, they'll remember that Ed did warn them about Greed's habits when Greed inevitably hits on Jade. (Reply to this) (Parent)
