Unpredictable

Category: Drama

Fandom: FullMetal Alchemist

Characters: Envy

Hey, everyone! I’m happy to finally present the piece I wrote for the @devilsplaygroundzine, which centers on Envy!

The flickering orange tongues of the crackling fire several yards away reflected in Envy’s eyes as he crouched in the dirty, dank alleyway. It was one of the many neglected nooks and crannies that abounded the Ishvalan slum encroaching upon the outer rim of Central City. It truly was a miserable place, Envy decided quite early on in strolling around; nothing but ramshackle hovels and ash-choked firepits and rank outhouses.

It was also the perfect domicile to have himself a bit of fun. Lounging around in those stinking sewers torturing the chimeras had grown quite dull. Thus, there Envy was, hunching down in the darkness opposite a small hovel watching as the Ishvalan refugees obliviously went about their business. It was a family, parents with a daughter who could be no older than five. They kneeled beside the fire, above which several sticks of freshly-caught trout were just nearly roasted; their hands pressed together while their heads bent in prayer. Envy sneered at the notion. So stubbornly, they clung to their God, which had allowed them to be massacred like sheep among wolves. I suppose they have to believe in something, lest they fall into despair.

That’s what Envy found so infuriating about humans, their unyielding tenacity and nauseating bonds. It’d be so much easier if they just wallowed in self-pity and defeat. The Homunculi pitted them against one another, and then suddenly, they’re preaching forgiveness and empathy. Envy’s teeth dug into his bottom lip as the image of a certain blond-haired, golden-eyed, loud-mouthed twerp who so embodied those ideals materialized in the gloom. Go away, FullMetal brat, he growled silently and waved a hand to banish the phantasm. It dissolved into dust, joining the thin coating on everything in the miserable slum.

Forgiveness and empathy could only last so long, however, until indomitable rage consumed them. Sneering roguishly, Envy crawled on all fours towards the humble little family, while his body morphed into the likeness of an Amestrian soldier. I’ll destroy it, he swore. I’ll destroy the hope and togetherness you covet so much!

“Good evening.” Envy froze mid-step when the Ishvalan man suddenly addressed him. It wasn’t right. Why was the monk not cowering in fear? The Ishvalan’s hands calmly rested upon his lap, and his white eyebrows curved slightly from the welcoming smile adorning his face. Still half-cloaked in shadow, Envy’s false blue eyes were wider than the full moon shining above. The mother had not even moved to protect her child. She ignored Envy and poked at the embers to send the dying fire gushing up once more. The flames licked greedily at the underbellies of the fish, charring the flesh. One, two, three… four, he counted blankly, though he knew not why. It wasn’t right, not at all. Where was the fear? The hate? The despair?

Why the hell were they smiling so contentedly, dammit?

“You must be tired from your patrol,” the man continued. Envy’s wits trickled back through the dam that had blocked the river of his mind. Patrol, yes. He was wearing the skin of an Amestrian soldier. It would make sense that he was patrolling the slum. Envy’s gold eyebrows quirked when the monk gestured to one of the cooking trout. “Please, we have one to spare. Help yourself.”

Envy was utterly flabbergasted. I don’t understand. I don’t understand. Ishvalans should hate Amestrians, especially the soldiers that mercilessly murdered their people by the thousands. Envy remembered it so well, corralling them to mow them down with machine guns, driving bayonets into long-dead bodies, children and mothers and even hardy men wailing in terror. This man should be slamming him up against the dirty brick wall, driving a fist into his jaw while the mother screamed and held her crying child. Yet, he was… inviting Envy to eat with them? He didn’t understand it, none of it.

Especially the fact that he wanted to agree.

Envy regarded the man suspiciously. Perhaps it was a trap. Yes, that’s what it could be; lure him in a false sense of security so his fellows could strike at Envy from behind. What a fun alternative. They could stick his back with so many daggers that he looked like a blood-soaked porcupine; it didn’t matter. Envy wouldn’t die. He found himself grinning at the bloody slaughter that would follow. Sure, old man, he cooed in his demented mind. I’ll play your game.

Envy smoothed the creases of the fake uniform before strolling over to the fire. The little girl’s red eyes bored into him as he knelt before the flames. Envy plucked the charred trout from the sand and scrutinized it. The scent of smoke and salt and even a few seasonings wafted up his nose, and despite himself, his mouth watered. One would think with their status, the Homunculi would eat well, but only Pride and Wrath had that honor. The rest of them had to go scrounging around like common urchins. Envy felt a little silly for salivating so excessively over some smoked trout, but his growling stomach soon overrode any prideful inhibitions.

“Thanks, old man,” he grunted before tearing his teeth into the succulent flesh. His eyes nearly rolled into the back of his head when the flavor exploded over his tongue. A hell of a lot better than the plain slop he stole on the daily around Central. Within seconds he was ravenously shredding into the fish. He paused, juice and bits of scale and meat dripping from his chin, as the Ishvalan laughed heartily.

“I knew you had to be hungry. A soldier’s duty is a demanding one.”

“Oh yeah?” Envy asked, eyebrow creeping up his forehead. He wasn’t quite sure where the monk was guiding the conversation. His ears pricked, listening for the sound of shuffling in the surrounding darkness, but he could not discern the presence of a potential surprise attack. The man’s kind face revealed no hostile intent. Envy finished off the fish and tossed the white bones into the fire, then began picking his teeth with the skewer. “Old man, I don’t get it.”

“Get what, young man?”

“Don’t you hate Amestrians?” A confused look passed over his face. For the first time, the woman stiffened and reached over to grasp her daughter’s hand. Envy watched, internally squirming with glee, as the man’s brown face sagged into sadness. Yes. Get sad. Then hate me. Then try to kill me, you foolish, predictable little human.

“No,” he contradicted, and Envy’s mouth fell agape. “I do not hate Amestrians.” Envy thought that surely, he must be lying, but it was hard to believe that when the older adult flashed him a soft, genuine smile. He did not care to elaborate, either; he just took his fish from the fire and calmly consumed it. Envy stared down into the orange flames. He had seen so many of them in his lifetime, gigantic white-hot flames that destroyed everything in their path - homes, crops, people - indiscriminately. Envy’s eye twitched as he struggled to comprehend the human monk.

I don’t understand. How can humans just so easily extend their hands and say, “it’s all right?”

Envy turned his head at the distant sound of screams and wails, rapidly growing closer. The end of the street was glowing auburn, just like the fire casting light upon his pale face. Little golden lights began to bob amongst the gloom, their ovoid forms growing with each passing second. From the darkness came frightened Ishvalans, tripping over their sandaled feet in a terrified effort to escape what was approaching. One of them, a twenty-something, stumbled and landed in the dirt on his belly behind Envy. The Homunculus stared disinterestedly at his hyperventilating form, while the monk scurried to his side. “What is it? What’s happening?”

“Amestrians!” the boy gasped. Envy’s mouth twitched into a sneer, which he hid in his palm. “An entire mob stormed across the river to the west with torches and weapons,” he sobbed and covered his head when a building a few houses down exploded. Scorching wood and glass bits rained down upon them. A few of the sharp objects sliced into Envy’s skin; the Ishvalans were too busy panicking to notice the small red lightning that skittered over his healing flesh.

“They must be angry about the fishing party earlier today,” the mother whimpered and hugged her daughter into her bosom. The little girl’s red irises swam in a sea of white. Envy stared thoughtfully at the skewer, then flipped it in his hand to brandish the pointy end. The monk had just finished bustling the man to his feet when he turned to Envy, who was languidly rising.

“You must leave. A single soldier cannot quell this hateful mob alone.”

“And what? You think a pacifying monk can?” Envy leered. The man winced; Envy had hit the nail of his intentions on the head. The next building erupted into flames, sending the shriek of hot wind and agonized screams into the air. Envy could leave, if he wanted to, and watch the slum burn from the tops of Central Command. He stared thoughtfully at the pointed wooden stick in his hand.

I don’t understand it, he thought once more with a small sigh. I really don’t, these humans and their kindness. However, he grinned seditiously, and his skin began to morph, the visage of the Amestrian soldier falling away to reveal his skinny and long-haired self. I understand the Amestrian’s hate perfectly fine. The family was finally cowering in the entrance of their little hut, which was no more than some cloth draped over some stacked boxes.

“Mister,” the little girl squeaked. She jumped when he turned his eyes on her. “What are you?”

“Oh, me?” he grinned and dramatically placed a hand over his chest. “I’m a monster.”

“What are you going to do?” the monk asked him with narrowed eyes. Envy shrugged and began strolling off toward the fiery carnage. The Ishavalans were attempting to throw pails of water onto the burning houses. Within seconds the angry mob of Amestrians cornered them and began beating them with sticks and fists. Envy sneered. So unpredictable yet so predictable. What a dichotomous breed. “What are you going to do?” the man yelled after him insistently, and Envy tossed a bored look over his shoulder.

“Me? Well, I’m going to do what monsters do best.”

It didn’t take long. Humans were just frail sacks of blood and meat. Still, a casual bloodbath was preferable to an actual challenge in this case. Constantly regenerating was exhausting and annoying. The Homunculus came strolling back to the little hovel, where the family still huddled inside shaking. His body still sparked to heal the bloody knife wounds he had incurred. Envy stopped in front of the shack and dropped the skewer in front of them. It was now dyed red and dripping with blood, just like his body. Their equally red eyes beheld it with a mixture of awe and horror.

“Thanks for the fish, old man,” Envy smirked and turned on his heel.

“Wait!”

Envy’s eyebrow raised as he looked over his shoulder. The little girl stumbled out, ignoring her parents hissing at her to get back into the tent. Envy’s eyebrow climbed higher when she offered him a little white weed flower. Her hands trembled as she crushed the green stem in her small fist. “Thank you for saving us.”

“Heh,” Envy grinned and took the flower from her. “Don’t thank me, squirt. I was just having some fun.” With that, he whirled on his heel and melted back into the darkness. Eventually, the slum fell behind him, replaced with dark woods. As Envy strolled along the path, he gazed thoughtfully down at the little flower, twirling it between his thumb and forefinger.

Humans, he frowned and tucked the flower behind his ear. So unpredictable… I hate them for that.

Day 28 - Vision

Sometimes Azra dreams her own dreams. They are fairly normal as dreams go: common ones like driving a Sparrow whose breaks won’t work properly, getting into a Crucible match to realize she’s forgotten all of her guns, bits of memories smashed together in colorful jumbles. She has nightmares, too, drowning in Darkness and torture and death. She doesn’t remember much, even when she does stay in her own head.

But most of the time she does not. She will one day learn this is a very stereotypical Arcstrider trait. They are wanderers by nature, constantly moving, and this includes their sleeping hours. So more often than not she is somewhere else. She walks the plain with the dark tower and the sunset-fractals on the ground. She passes through scenes she does not belong in, noting familiar faces, experiencing odd sensations of worlds not perceived by her own brain. She remembers these even less than her own dreams.

But she also intimately knows the Void. So sometimes when death weighs heavy on her, on days that are worse for whatever reason, she goes even farther, in places not reality but certainly not dreams.

You sit on your cliff with the sun setting in front of you, the clouds shifting in the sky above you, and the sea crashing below you. The sun burns Solar and the lengthening shadows it casts shimmer Void. The wind hums electric on your tongue. It ruffles your hair and spreads out your cloak like an old friend. Grass and moss dot the cracks in the rock but for the most part the cliff is bare. It is that magic inbetween time right before sunset when the light is golden and smooth. The sea breeze is a caress against your skin. The waves roll in and out, the sound of their breaking ringing like laughter. It will rain tonight, you know. But this place is not tonight, it is right now, when you can smell the salt in the air and feel the grit in between your fingers.

The air here is dry without being thirsty, carrying the scent of woodsmoke and creosote. The ground is broken. The shadows cast by the half-moon are sharp-edged. You skirt them superstitiously, worried that they might cut you. Fractured boulders sit at odd angles, almost like someone scattered them from above instead of pushing them up from below. It’s easy to feel tiny here. But the stars do twinkle friendly behind the intermittent clouds, and Andal Brask’s campfire is warm and welcoming. He sits beneath one of the stone buttresses and makes jokes about you haunting him. You talk (about what, you can never remember). You can feel comfortable here if you settle your nerves.

Wei Ning stands on a plain of yellow grass that sways in the wind. It is either late morning or early afternoon by the angle of the sun, and the sky is clear and so blue it almost hurts. Stormclouds loom over the mountains in the distance, but here and now the weather is good. The grass is only knee-high, and beneath it the earth is hard and thirsty. Wei Ning fights. Of course she fights. The enemies come in waves that crash against her fists, leaving neither the stain of blood nor the scar of bodies when they are defeated. There is energy in the air. Wei Ning laughs, and thunder booms in the distance.

You’re on the moon. The stars pierce the black velvet of the sky, cold and hard and brilliant. The ground is lumpy and uneven, but largely flat. The shadows are impossibly dark, the lunar dust almost blindingly bright. There is very little cover here, which leaves you feeling a bit unnerved and jumpy. Pahanin doesn’t spend too much time in this place. He says he likes to wander a lot because he doesn’t like being alone. Despite the feeling that something is about to leap out at you (from what cover, you do not know), this place does feel lonely. Desolate. Sometimes you can get him to sit down for a bit and you talk. It’s nice. A perfect marble of blue and white sits on the horizon, a promise of home.

Kabr is not here. He wasn’t, and never will be.

You know this place in the living world. It’s different here. Fellwinter Peak is devoid of its Iron Temple or cable cars. It’s not snowing so much as the wind is hurling flakes of ice and sleet from place to place. The cold air snaps with cynicism. The sky fades to mist overhead. Lord Fellwinter stands there, arms crossed, unmoved by wind or ice. He gives no thanks for his rest here, but you think he appreciates what you’ve done. There is a brazier on the peak behind him, the fire burning bright despite the weather and the tired look in his optics.

Puck lies in a boat on a small lake. The summer sun beats down, filling you with easy warmth. This place is rich with life. Water bugs skitter across the surface of the lake and fish dart by below. The buzz of cicadas fills the air. At the edges, lily pads and cattails thrive. Red-wing blackbirds perch on the stalks and compete to see which one can sing the loudest. The forest beyond is dark and cool and mysterious. Puck will demand you lie down with zir and cloud-watch. If you do, ze will weave you stories from the air. You wonder at the impossible shapes the clouds make. The smell of the lake is strong but not unpleasant.

Jolder is in a field of flowers in the shadow of a huge iron mountain. The flowers are rich blues, reds, and yellows. You can never stay here for more than a moment, but she thanks you anyway. The sky is a light gray.

You know this place too. Dwindler’s Ridge always seemed oddly empty to you in the living world. Despite all the myth and legend, it was just a place. Now, you can feel the sense of justice pulling like north pulls a magnet. A sense of things set right. You wonder how Jaren Ward knows this place; it only comes into his story after he’s gone. The sun is high and the earth is baked dust. It’s hot, but it’s a dry heat. You sit with Jaren and your feet dangle off the sheer, wind-eaten slope. It’s impossible not to draw some inspiration from the man. His every gesture is balanced in this world. No regrets, or remorse, or things left unsettled. He is bright and untarnished as gold, as well-worn steel. You notice his gun is not at his hip.

The air is clean but has a bite. You stand on a gravel-bar in some northern river. Therin Vai stands a few meters into the current and twirls a long pole made of ash. His lure flits across the surface of the river. You don’t think he’s going to have much luck catching trout, but you don’t think he cares that much. You’ve found a lot of people who go fishing don’t do so for the fish. The river sings over stones, crystal clear and shockingly cold. Hardy pines cover the ground outside of its reach, doing the laborious work of turning hard rock into more welcoming soil. This place is not tamed and never has been, even by stubborn trees. Their trunks are sparse. Therin’s rod hums as he casts again, carefully maneuvering his fly so it doesn’t hit you.

It's on a beach at night. The waves break softly against the sand, creating a pleasant background of white noise. A crescent moon sits just over the horizon. It seems to suck the light from the sky instead of providing it. The stars shimmer overhead, somehow seeming close and intimate, as if you listened hard enough you could hear their whispered secrets. Their light reflects off the calm waters. To the right, there are dunes, held together with sparse grass, forming a ten-foot tall bluff. To the left, there is the ocean. Tevis Larsen walks between them, in the place that is neither land nor sea, where the damp sand is somehow more supportive than dry or wet. He paces the shoreline or sits on top of the bluff where stone or driftwood provide a sure place. The two of you don’t talk, the silence in the air like a spell nobody wants to break. You don’t need to speak, anyway, to understand.

Smoked Salmon

This Summer, our old brick and cement barbecue threatened to collapse, just after we’d finished installing, painting and varnishing our new panel fence. So, Dad and I hammered it down with a heavy mallet. Soon after we bought a new barbecue, the kind with a lid -coals still, though, or it isn’t really a barbie! Ever since we’ve got it; I’ve wanted to take my salmon and trout curing to the next step and smoke my own fish! New Year’s Day was the perfect occasion to enjoy a light lunch of oyster and fish, so I made Smoked Salmon for the occasion, and Jules and I loved it. I smoked it with apple wood from our tree; but I saved a few branches from our Christmas tree, and I might try smoking things with pine wood next! But if you have the kind of barbecue, with a lid and vents, with which you can smoke your fish, I absolutely recommend it! Just bear in mind that the process take a few days: twenty-four hours for the curing, a couple of hours for the smoking (for a small side of salmon) and an overnight rest in the fridge.

Ingredients:

2 cups coarse sea salt

2 cups caster sugar

½ tablespoon Red Chili Flakes

a side of salmon (about 650 grams/1.45 pounds)

2 1/2 tablespoons good quality London Dry Gin (like Hendrick’s)

1 1/2 tablespoon Rosemary and Juniper Syrup

In a large bowl, combine coarse sea salt, caster sugar and Red Chili Flakes, stirring well to mix. Set aside

Unwrap a large portion of cling film, without cutting it. Arrange about a third of the salt and sugar mixture onto it, and sit salmon halve, skin-side down firmly onto it.

Combine Gin and Rosemary and Juniper Syrup in a small bow, and stir well. Drizzle Gin mixture generously over the salmon. Top with remaining two thrids of the curing mixture, fold cling film over and wrap tightly. Place in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours.

The next day, arrange a small layer of coals in the barbecue and light a fire.

Meanwhile chop about half a cup dried apple wood. (I used applewood because a have an apple tree in the garden, but I reckon you might use other sorts of wood!) Place chopped applewood chips in a bowl and cover with water. Allow to soak, about 30 minutes.

Remove cure, and wash salmon under cold water. It now has taken a deeper pink hue, and the flesh is harder to the the touch. Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Sit cured salmon side, skin-side down onto a lightly oiled sheet of foil, folding the edges up to form sort of tray, but not covering the flesh.

Once the flames have died, and the coals are hot but no longer too red, dusted with ash, drain applewood chips thoroughly and scatter over the coals. Carefully place the grill over the coals. Sit cured salmon, on its foil tray onto the grill, and close the lid of the barbecue. Close the vents, not completely, so that the temperature inside the barbecue is about 95°C/203°F to 85°C/185°F. Smoke salmon, about an hour and a half to two hours, moving the vents as needed to maintain a rather constant temperature.

Carefully remove Smoked Salmon from the barbecue. Wrap in cling film and chill overnight.

Serve Smoked Salmon the following day, with Chestnut Blinis and sour cream mixed with chopped chives and Spring onion, cracked black pepper and Gin.

Mel’s Big Fantasy Place-Name Reference

A lot of places are named after historical events, battles, and people, so keep that in mind. God/Goddess names tied to your world also work well. Places are also often named after things that the area is known for, like Georgia being known for its peaches.

My brain was fried by the end of this so feel free to add more!

I hope you find this reference helpful and good luck world-building!

Sealed Glass Vials, 3: A sealed, four ounce, clear glass vial containing a suspicious liquid, powder, slime or gas, that no true adventurer would hesitate to loot. They contain anything from eye of newt, toe of frog, faulty potions, weak elixirs, alchemical supplies, spell components, ritual elements, enchanting materials and crafting ingredients. These can be found in mage towers, voodoo shacks, potion shops, enchanter’s workshops, witch’s hovels, alchemist’s pocket’s, wizard’s pouches and anywhere and everywhere a small vial could be stored. The DM can roll a d4 to determine what state the vials are found in, or choose one of the following based on how much you like your players: 1, The vial is incorrectly labeled. The DM invents something at random or roll again and the vial is labeled that result. 2, The vial has no label of any sort. 3, The vial’s label is correct but only in a general sense. For example, a vial of powdered unicorn horn could be labeled “Horn” or “Unicorn”. 4, The vial has a clear and accurate label describing exactly what it contains.
