1st Possession - Riding the Kanto Ferry, Video, Around 12 pm

[princeofavarice]

Gotta say, you humans know how to live in luxury. There definitely weren't any ships like this back where I came from!

[ When the feed starts streaming video it shows a teenage boy of Chinese(?) descent grinning, sitting in a lounge chair on the deck of the ferry. There's a cold, frosty glass of beer in view on the side table next to him, and the man lounges back in the chair with a relaxed sigh as he adjusts to catch the sun a bit more. ]

Good booze, fine-looking women, and powerful little creatures fit to be perfect minions with lots to collect. Shame they can't hold a conversation that well, but the world after death could be a hell of a lot worse. Don't know what I did to get to this paradise but like hell I'm gonna complain about it!

[ He laughs, almost bellowing with it before he looks into the camera once more. ]

So if I've got this thing workin' right, I wanna ask. Just what do a lot of you do for fun around here? I'm lookin' to keep entertained and take in as much life as I can here, so don't leave anything out!

Now that's optimism if I've ever heard it. You'll go a long way with a perspective like that, believe me.

How about an introduction, big dreamer?

You're not the first person who's told me that today. Can't say it's a bad thing either.

Normally I'd ask for a name first. Mine's Greed. And I'm not the one you might already know, I just arrived in this place today.

And already making your best effort at rivaling his charm, I see.

If you're already aware of your name twin, then I imagine you won't fault me for asking — are you also from a place called Amestris?

Got it in one, though it seems like there are quite a few things that are different between the two. Regardless, it seems like we're both better off here.

Now why don't you tell me something about yourself? Maybe your name?

Oh, I can't make it that easy on you. The things that are hardest to acquire are the ones most fulfilling to have, in the end.

But I will tell you that if I had to name a vice of mine, greed would almost certainly be among the ones I could pick.

Don't think I won't try to get your name, because I'm the kind of man who wants everything.

It's not uncommon for humans to be greedy, so I can't say I'm surprised. Everyone's got something they want that they don't have.

I never would've guessed. But I like people with ambition, so I'll be looking forward to seeing you try to get it out of me.

Greed's a little more honest than envy that way, isn't it? It doesn't require that you want to take away something that belongs to someone else; just that you want the object in and of itself.
