Hiding a tree? Use a forest. Hiding a person? Use a city.

Menoitos sighed, and stared over the people that were walking throughout Central City, looking for someone to talk to, someone to meet. He was confused slightly, wondering where the perfect person was for him. He smiled to himself, keeping on hand on his Skill blade, ready to defend himself if need be... Not that there was any need. It was the middle of the day, and add to that the crowd, and Menoitos was sure that nobody would be so thick as to attack him in a place like this. As he moved his hand away from Skill, a small sound alerted him to the presence of something.

"Izzat...?" He turned his head to the source and shouted out in glee. The white-suited, green-haired Homunculus grinned, and dived for it.

"Kittttttttty!!!!!!!" When the dust cleared, Meno was sitting there, kitten in his arms, cooing over it with a silly smile on his face. He looked like an idiot, he did. But he didn't care. He had his kitty... Such a cute kitty too...

Purrrrr....

[Guest]

A sound of a few loud claps could be heard from somewhere behind Menoitos, followed by quiet giggle at first and then finally a loud laugh could be heard from the same direction.

"Gyaahhahahahahahaha!!!" - a man, wearing a black suit and pants, crouched and slapping his right knee with his right hand was sitting not too far away from Menoitos. He had a weird green coloured hair and wore a fedora hat on his head.
As the laughter finally stopped, the man stood up and came closer. His narrow, almost closed eyes looked straight at the one holding the cute kitty, and a wide grin completed his special weird looks. While he walked he kept his left arm's fingers inside his pocket, flailing his right arm forth and back.
Now he stood above the man in white.

"Menoitos - old buddy, old pal - old buddy, old pal! Fancy meeting YOU here!" - the man, known as Kyle Crane sat down near Wrath, his older brother. Greed continued to smile, remembering all the times he used to taunt Wrath - causing the later to go into a berserker frenzy from time to time. Of course - Greed always happened to escape Wrath's wrath in one piece, although once he nearly got his hand sliced off. However that was a long time ago... almost a year now.

''Past the point of no return'', the man in the white hooded jacket mumbled as he walked forwards. He was holding a script in his left hand and was reading it barely out loud. The script itself was for the play, which he was participating. Or rather a musical. From the outside, people would say he was enjoying it. But if they only would see his thoughts. That man loathed humans more than anyone else. But he was able to hide it. ''No backward nonsense''. His steps didn't make a sound, as he wasn't wearing any shoes. That seemed strange for people who passed him.

Riku raised his gaze from the script, because something caught his attention. Two men, wearing different colored outfits with very similar concept, were sitting on the ground. Not only that, but other one of them looked somehow familiar. He grinned a little as he realized why. Riku walked swiftly closer to those two. ''Talk about the endangered species'', he said to those two. He kept his unusual smile, as he was still in public. Otherwise he would act naturally. ''I am honestly surprised to see you two here. Care to answer how have you been?'' Riku used very calming voice. Again a feature unusual to him. However, he had kept his ''break'' yesterday, so he was able to do that without twisting his face and tasting vomit.

Menoitos stopped with the goofy grin, and let go of the cat, allowing the small creature to run off into the alleyway to join any other cats that were in there. He sighed softly, and stood up straight, pulling a small lint roller out of his left jacket pocket, taking the dark fur off his nice, white suit. He smiled briefly, and turned first to Kyle. Kyle... Someone he hadn't seen in an age. Kyle... One of the homunculi, and his closest friend in their ranks...

"And here I was, thinking that I'd never see another Homunculus alive... 'Specially after I watched Father die." He smirked, and tilted his head to the left, green hair ruffling slightly, remaining eye blinking quickly.

"So, Kyle. S'been a while, huh? How ya been, Greedy?" He grinned, hand on the hilt of Skill, as usual. He may trust this man, but that was about it... He then turned to the new person who arrived. He had the same scent about him - the scent of a Homunculus... But he didn't recognise the face, nor did he recognise the scent itself... Wait, it was of Envy. But it wasn't JD.

There was no way that this guy was JD at all. He sighed to himself, and smirked.

"So, you're a new one, huh? Envy, right?"

[Guest]

Kyle laughed as he listened to Wrath. He always did make a good joke, one even better than Greed did from time to time. As a sudden wind blew he quickly placed his left hand on top on his hat - he didn't want it to fly away, it would be so troublesome... to chase it around half the city. Of course Greed was faster than your average human runner, but still - he wouldn't want to show off in Central. Walls had eyes and ears too.

"Aye, I've been around the world. Sightseeing, doing this and that." - Greed smiled widely. - "I also got a few new things for myself. You know - the usual way. Hahahahaha!" - Kyle was sure than Menoitos knew what his usual way was - kill and take. Violence was a necessity after all.
As a new person appeared, Kyle made a quick spin, turning 180* degrees, so he could face the one talking. As he saw Riku he smiled once more:

"Silver! My man!" - Kyle almost wanted to hug Envy - he was his favourite brother, since they had so much in common. More than with the other Homunculi. Of course he always loved his family, they were the only one's he could trust, but he still viewed Envy as the closest - he could understand Greed better than others. - "I could ask you the same question, but hey - I did see those poster all around. Going to be a part of the big play, huh? I'm kinda envious, ya know?" - Greed then made a step to his left, assuming a position between Wrath and Envy so he could talk to them both at the same time, without a need to turn around.
He then spoke to Menoitos:

"I know a lot of sh*t went down, but hey - no need to tell our names so freely around here. People can watch, ya know? I'll get all embarrassed."

In the meantime Kyle pulled out a cigarette and lit it up. He got these expensive ones from a travelling merchant on his way here. That train ride was the last that greedy merchant had in his life. Not that Greed couldn't understand some greed. The memory made him smirk.

[Envy]

Riku looked the other person with a little surprised look. He wasn't aware about being a new one. His memories had been wiped out when he was created again. He decided to ignore that part and answer to the second phrase. ''Yes, but please call me Riku in public''. Riku closed his script, rolled it and pointed it towards Menoitos. ''And I don't remember you clearly, so care to enlighten me?'' He brought his hand to his hip as he made a waving motion with his script holding arm as he looked to Kyle.

''You better should be. Even though it's all just an act (Double meaning) and it makes me disgusted, it's necessary to blend into the population''. But that was only part of the truth. Riku also wanted to make others envy of him. It was his nature and helped him to be among those fools known as mankind. But putting that thing aside, it was nice to meet siblings. Especially Greed, as their thoughts were on the same line most of the time. ''But neither of you haven't really answer my question''.

OOC: Since Meno's time is out - I post.

IC:

Kyle listened to Riku's words, while smoking that expensive cigar. Well, it seemed like Envy was still the same - ever so careful to blend in with the humans. Kyle even though about joining that theatre group for a second. But no - even though Greed was good at acting, he wasn't the type to act that good for very long. His twisted personality would come out sooner or later... and that would mean he'd start taunting and torturing people with words and actions in a matter of weeks. And Greed needed to lay low for some time. He was waiting for a call from East City anyway - he had a special order made for him there.
Kyle shifted his body weight to a single leg, his right leg and took the cigar from his mouth, puffing a little cloud of smoke out, and spoke:

"Well, since neither of us really answered your question, I'll do so now." - Kyle's ever present smile faded away, becoming a serious face, which happened not too often. - "I'm doing well, in general. I bet I got the less shock from Father's death, but... I dislike the rumours about this new Fuhrer. I don't like them - I don't like 'em at all. And I will never let someone like that command me. Tch..." - a frown appeared on Kyle's face, then he smoked the cigar again and puffed out some smoke again. The two could see in his eyes, which became a bit wider, that he'd rather die than serve some mere weak humans.
But then, a usual smile appeared on Greed's face once again:

"So hey - can I attend that play? I would love to see you in action. And I think we can go talk in a more private place. Now how 'bout that?!"

[Envy]

As Menoitos seemed to remain silent, Kyle answered to his question. While smoking an expensive looking cigar. Greed had a expensive taste, which wasn't really a surprise. What Kyle told to Riku didn't reveal anything new. Kyle never had been someone who worked under someone else. That was already proven when he left Homunculi. And it was sort of Riku's opinion too. He wasn't either the type who worked for someone else. Unless he would benefit from it. As Kyle continued to talk, Riku nodded his head. He was still smiling a genuine smile, but there was nothing under it. His face was like a mask, covering something from the people. Something what they didn't want to see.

''I look what I can do. But I believe that I can get a seat for you''. Riku rolled the script into a roll again and stuffed it into one of his pockets. ''And do you mean a private talk now or later? Because I too would have something to say to you''. He wasn't aware what people near by would think about their conversation. And if he would have known, he would have kicked their legs so hard that they would bend into a wrong direction.

Kyle finished the cigar and threw it away, he made a wide swing to his left, so that the cigar flew through the air and landed in a trash can. It nearly hit a passerby, as he stepped away in a split second. Kyle smirked and let out a single laugh. He nearly hit that guy, and it was a shame he didn't. He would not apologize, nor would he listen to complaints or threats. But... Kyle had to keep himself under control - now was not the time for this, nor was this a good place. He had worked so hard to keep his profile low, while snooping out this and that. He was always making plans and only a few of his actions were truly spontaneous.

"Haha, I would love to see that play, yeah. And I'd like to talk to you right about now - I got a few hours to myself, yeah, then I gotta leave town. But I'll come back eventually." - Kyle moved his head to the side, looking at Menoitos. - "Are you coming or what, bro? If you have something to do - we won't be bothering ya. It's just that not everyday you witness such a heart-warming family reunion, right?"

Kyle changed his stance once again. His brain had already thought up three different ways of actions he could take here. Of course - he had to meet all the other Homunculi, but from what he had heard - some of them started working for the new Fuhrer. Such a shame it was - immortal Homunculi serving a weak mortal shell. Sometimes Greed did not understand what the others were thinking.

Menoitos sighed as he listened to the pair. So, it was like that, huh? Out of everything he had heard, the one basal assumption he'd made was this - they hated humans. Which... displeased Menoitos. He understood, of course, but... Really, was it that bad to be in this form? Was it all that bad to understand the needs of humans? He sighed again, keeping one hand on the sword by his belt. He trusted the pair, of course, they were kin. But something else made his hand touch that hilt. He wasn't aware of it at the moment, but something was burgeoning inside of him. He sighed, and moved his hand away.

"Y'know... Something isn't right here. We've been accepted into this society in this form, and yet here you are, badmouthing them. So I needa go. I got things I must do, and they need to be done soon enough." He turned and began to walk away... Waving his hand behind him. There was nothing else to be said - if he told them that he was one of the group that had killed Father... He shuddered slightly. Nah... he didn't need to---

"KITTY!" As soon as he saw the tail into the alley, Menoitos was after it like a shot. He had to hug the kitty, he HAD TO HUG THE KITTY!

KITTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
