From : Roy Mustang

Subject : Re: Re: Abort mission (continued)

Before you guys judge me for being ‘ignorant’, yesterday was too hectic for me to check on incoming mails. And yes, Jean, listen what Breda said; you’re still a dumb-ass.

Miles was right though, you were lucky enough. At last I met her yesterday. And who could’ve guessed that that accreditation board member whom you had a rather unpleasant argument with three years ago is an Armstrong? (and the one who got a say in the board, while at it.)

Seems like she still hold grudges on me for a reason I don’t remember. Imagine the awkward silence (or you’re-dead-to-me glares) I have to go through everytime we encountered each others, considering we share an office room from now on.

Let’s just hope Maes won’t be genius enough to even try to push her button during his (suspiciously abundant) free time.

Subject : How many times do I have to tell you?

I don’t care how and when you do it, Jean, but no way in hell smoking is allowed anywhere inside school. The rooftop included. You’ll set bad examples for the students. Besides, the kids love you—they’re more inclined to justify your actions, and do it by themselves!

This will be my last warning before I write the Principal a formal complain letter on this matter.

Mr. Hughes,

I regret to inform you that you have already used up all your bandwith. Please do take my advice to stop sending everybody gigabytes-worth of photos, and you will be able to enjoy this facility until the last day of every months. Thank you.

I’m not gonna receive your bribery, Sir. Mr. Greed already took suspicion on our internet funds, and had been eyeing me closely ever since. Sorry for that…

Regards,

Subject : See me during lunch break

Dear Edward,

My experiences told me that detention letters have no effect on you. But that doesn’t mean you can get out from the fact that you sent a .docx with the writings ‘MUSTANG SUXX’ as its only content for your chemistry take-home assignment.

Meet me at the teachers’ room right after the bell rings. You know where my desk is.

Fail to do so, and I will pair you up with Ling for the upcoming group project(s).

Thank you.

Subject : Re: All those East City chickens are getting under my skin

O, my dearest Sister,

YOU HAVE JUST MISUNDERSTOOD OUR HOSPITALITY, THE PEOPLE FROM THE EASTERN SIDE OF AMESTRIS!

They were just trying to befriend you, Sister. Trust me. Perhaps the norms here are not exactly similar to those of North’s, but please adjust yourself.

Besides, it’s not a secret that Mr. Roy Mustang is the Principal’s favorite negotiator when it suits his needs, second only to himself. Do forgive me, Sister, because I can’t tell you what kind of demands Mr. Eugene Grumman insisted three years ago.

Oh, and I have done setting up your new desk according to your requests. I also added a little touch of fine arts to please your eyes. Worry not, my Sister, for my taste is far better than Kimblee’s.

With the spirits that had been passed down in the Armstrong Family for generations,

Subject : Is the Principal hiding in your server room again?

I swear to God I was just taking his tea cup back to the pantry and BOOM that old man disappeared like a trickster. He thought it would make me amused? Maybe, when the stars align. But absolutely NOT when we got a lot of works to submit before Tuesday!

Well guess what? Don’t tell him I’m going there. If he decided that the Principal’s Room is too boring that he chose to leave, trust me, his paperworks are more than eager to follow.

Why did I sign up for this shit anyway? Oh, right—Ri will kick me out if she’s the only one paying our room’s rent.

I’m a simple man; hence next time that old Grumman give me another warning due to unmet curriculum, I will just blame that on your decision to cut my clay-shopping budget.

Did you have a word with Miss Riza recently?

What do you mean?

To : Mechanical geek (+xxxxxxxxx947)

From : Edward Elric (+xxxxxxxx311)

Well… Did she, like, tell you something? Anything?

To : Edward (+xxxxxxxx311)

From : Winry Rockbell (+xxxxxxxxx947)

Umm.. no, I guess. Why are you asking?

To : Mechanical geek (+xxxxxxxxx947)

From : Edward Elric (+xxxxxxxx311)

Nothing. Really. Okay—one more thing—not even about me? Or something you don’t know??

To : Edward (+xxxxxxxx311)

From : Winry Rockbell (+xxxxxxxxx947)

Okay she did explain me some things about cellular metabolisms because I asked her, and technically that was something I didn’t know by that time. Aside from that, nope? Why so sudden??

To : Mechanical geek (+xxxxxxxxx947)

From : Edward Elric (+xxxxxxxx311)

Great. Well then. Better stop using our phones before Mr. Miles turn around from the whiteboard.
