[Germany is baaack, and looking pretty refreshed considering all that's happened. The wonders of a lot of sleep and an Italien... Ahem.]

Thank you for your participation in the fight against Adachi. I hope that all the injured are well into recovery by now; otherwise, please contact the medics immediately. We cannot afford to have people disabled for any extended length of time considering our short numbers and the war we have at hand.

On more pertinent matters: Shibusen has given the approval to build a clinic in both the Casualty Communal and Death City Heights, as well as to renovate some partner-sized residences in the Communal so that we may leave meister-weapon couples on guard there. I have been informed that Shibusen currently does not have any personnel that they can lend in aid of the effort. I would like to ask members of the guests to assist in the endeavor, especially those with abilities in carpentry and construction.

Last: We have lost some of our comrades during the fight with Adachi. Among the names that come from our ranks include Captain Li Shang and [A pause here, deep breath.] Griechenland, better known to you as Greece. The others involve the following: [Have a list of NPCs from Shibusen here.] It would be appreciated if everyone were to attend their funerals, to be announced at a later time.

Perhaps I was more prone to being surprised, that is all. He has not changed much.

Ah. That makes more sense.

[He could really imagine Prussia being more surprising than he was already.]

You are not the same with your brother?

I haven't had much time with any of them.

I suppose you are correct. Perhaps now is the time to do so.

One would hope so.

Between the kishin-fighting and learning to fight with a meister.

There is always time. [If you don't sleep like the big man does.] Attend training and visit them in the evening.

Training... right. [He'd forgotten about continuing that in the haste prior to the battle.]

You think they would take beginners?

Of course. That is the purpose of the training.

[pause, thinks about it] You... are a beginner?

I am... hard to use as a weapon.

Usually, you need to know martial arts before training with this type of weapon, and my meister doesn't know how to fight.

[Torn between taking undue credit here and naming his co-conspirators, he's trying to find a middle ground.]

Look, I'm not saying I did it all by myself or anything but I...uh [A deep breath, and then he speaks all in a rush, running his words together.] Kindafoundsomeonewhocouldgetdownintothechamberandstopthembeforetheycouldkillthebastarddead.

[puts hand to chin in thought]

Considering the amount of people we have now in both clinics...I think it we could comfortably accommodate at least fifteen people, that would be good. Or sixteen--two rooms, eight beds each. A storage room for all supplies, bathroom for their needs, and room so I can remain there and maybe a kitchen so all necessary food can be prepared.

And if it's at all possible could we possibly make an adjoining garage of sorts where I can make automail? I might be able to make other things to help with the effort as well, but with my lack of proper equipment the automail I can make isn't anywhere close to my usual standard.

[Sorting that out, sorting, sorting.... Ah.]

... It was wise of you.

[Taking note, taking note, paper and pencil in hand. Hmm. He nods once in a while to consider things.]

I see, I see. Yes, I believe your specifications are possible. I think a fortnight is reasonable to complete the structure.

As for equipment... does this era not have acceptable substitutes? Perhaps we may borrow or purchase some.

I see. Who is your meister, again? We will be happy to accommodate your partner in the schedule. Please attend as well.

[Blink blink.]

Interesting word for deceiving my friend and going behind his back.

I do not know Heine as well as you, but he did not seem easy to convince. Perhaps that was the only choice left for you to make after my own failure to cease his actions or at least his liberty to act on his plans.

Naminé. Thank you.

When are we expected?

The girl?

There will be an announcement for it. After the party will be an acceptable time to resume, I believe.

[A humorless chuckle.]

Yeah, you ever try having a nice reasonable chat with a slab of concrete to try and convince it to budge up to the other side of the road? It's about like that. Doesn't make a guy feel any better about whipping out the sledge hammer though, if you take my meaning.

[But he seems to sense the proclivity for this line of reasoning to lead round in circles.]

Look, don't worry about it, big guy. He'll just hold it against me until, ya know...he, uh, doesn't anymore.

[He should stop sighing. Germany pinches the bridge of his nose instead.]

He promised to drink beer with my brother and I. Perhaps you would like to make an appearance later in the evening.

That's right.

[A blink, and he recalls that yes, there's meant to be a party.] ... Do you know if it's mandatory to attend?

It is not, far as I know, but I would advise going. If for anything, you will be able to claim the monetary reward for your assistance in the efforts against Adachi.

I wasn't aware we'd be receiving rewards.

Professor Stein mentioned it during his invitation for us to join the celebration. He did not state an amount, only that it is a significant amount.
