OUHH COOL IDEAS,,,,,,,,, I have ideas which I will put under readmore, because dunmeshi spoilers:

So the reason that the demon snatched Laios' body to get out of the dungeon was bc the demon was trapped in the dungeon, but the dungeon master was allowed to come and go - but, while inhabiting Laios' body, the demon was the dungeon master. That was what made it able to escape.

Since the demons are the literal personification of mana- there is mana on the surface, but not as much as in the dungeons...maybe that would make Greed less powerful? Maybe to get out, he shares Ling's body like. Temporarily or something, or maybe he brings a piece of the dungeon with him (philosophers stone esque) to serve as his "heart" more or less? Maybe the lower mana on the surface is what separates Greed from the rest of the demon hivemind thingy. In that case I don't think he'd be able to grant Ling immortality.

Oh my god I wrote so much about the chimeras after this but I forgot to save it. Fuck shit balls. Summary:

Chimeras a shady military experiment in some tallman kingdom somewhere. Elves catch on and shut it down. Now they have a bunch of tallman chimeras they don't know what to do with. In a mix of typical elf patronizing treatment towards younger races and hiding information on the dark arts, the elves keep the chimeras very nicely treated and well taken care of in a top secret prison safehouse. For their safety obviously. Anyways the chimeras escape at some point.

That's all the ideas I have right now but WAHHOO YIPPEE FUCK YEAH DUNMESHI DEVILSNEST CROSSOVER AU. HELL YES. There is supplemental material to dungeon meshi in the adventurer's bible, but I have also not read that. So I might be wrong about some canon-magic-logistics somewhere. Fuck it we ball!!! This is such a badass au idea.

ive thought a little more about devils nest dungeon meshi au (demons nest?) and here is the idea i was bouncing around in my head. id love for some kind of lore compliance check because i havent really gone back over the manga since i finished it, or sought out any kind of supplemental material, and i like the challenge of fitting these kinds of things into the boundaries of the source (once again DUNGEON MESHI SPOILERS. for people who havent read the manga at all)

so you have this demon (in a dungeon) (granting desires and eating them) (getting stronger) (hoping someday he can get out of the dungeon). and hes been in there a while and boy does he love watching humans get their greatest wishes granted, but the part where they gradually go mad with power or get disenchanted with the results and also he has to eat their desires anyway eventually kind of blows. he wishes he could only have the good part where he gets to make people happy forever is that too much to ask. maybe when he gets out of the dungeon he can do something about that. love to get out of the dungeon

anyway fast forward a while and this guy comes in. some teenage prince from a tallman country thats wracked with internal conflict and what HE wants is to become immortal, because that way when he takes the throne his reign will be eternal and the different clans will stop fighting over the right of succession. thats so specific. the demon loves it. he can just give him a peaceful united empire here, in the dungeon, which he can rule eternally-- no he wants the one at home. well. the problem with that is that the demon is here, in the dungeon, and not out there.

HELP WANTED NOTICE: i dont remember what the exact plan was vis a vis the winged lion getting up to the surface in the manga and i know it Had to be simpler than "just walk out of there" because why would it have had to steal laios' body about it. WOULD a sufficiently dedicated dungeon lord be able to get back up to the surface with their respective demon in tow.

ADDITIONAL HELP WANTED NOTICE: if a demon WAS freed from the dungeon without being powerful enough to get out under its own strength, how much magic would it be able to perform out there? would it be able to make somebody immortal without the big magic-insulation box. i feel like this changes a lot if greed Can grant ling immortality vs if now that hes out of the dungeon he cant really do shit.

either way now that hes out he does not technically need to eat this kids desires specifically anymore. if the immortality thing is a bust, maybe hes shaken by the experience of not being able to fulfill somebodys wish for the first time. but HIS wish has been fulfilled instead? complicated! maybe ling drags him back to his kingdom to help him gain the throne, or maybe he gets mad and leaves and greed never finds out what happens to him, but whatever goes down it changes his worldview and hes starting to develop a sense of personhood separate from the rest of the Demon Conglomerate, and also desires that are unique to Him

but he still wants to help people realize their own desires and maybe thats even strengthened by the fact that now he personally knows how much it owns (funny) to want something so bad and finally get it. so im thinking eventually he goes back to his old dungeon, now way smaller, and he sets up shop, and just waits for people to come by so he can help them in a less exploitative way. like he graduates from Addiction Metaphor to Healthy Coping Mechanism Metaphor. and the chimeras all find their way there eventually and he wins their trust one at a time until they are forced to admit this weird overly genuine dungeon guy kind of rules. his personality is laios basically he has the exact same type of autistic swag

but. if the elves heard about a demon who was just fucking going up to people floor 1 like hi im a demon welcome to my dungeon. they would shit bricks. so the raid also has to happen at some point. and i Am putting ling in there albeit as backstory so im open to suggestions as to how the rest of the cast of fma can fit into this (father and the homunculi as other more typical demons obviously) (no clue about anybody else) (come and play toys with me)

Second chapter is OUT!! ART studies its new SecUnit like a bug under a microscope.

Above all You are a research vessel. You enjoy the collection and examination of data. You enjoy making connections, building prediction models and organizing long lists of data points, and You are fascinated by this anomaly of a SecUnit. The pitiful dregs of information You have collected so far are entirely inadequate. You require more data. You are going to have to build this data Yourself.

Your crew would object, and they would be correct to do so. Your crew is also not present on this cargo mission. (You are so horribly bored and so sick of this cargo mission. And here is something interesting, at last, and You do not want to let it slip away.)

You cycle Your lock and let the SecUnit in.

Or: Artificial Condition, from ART's point of view.
