All you have to do is please title your initial comments with these:
Action | Written | Voice/Video/etc. (????) and a date! (example: July 13th or something)
so that I know what method your character is using to try to contact him so that he can respond properly

There were some pretty beat-up looking guys here, but we didn't do any fightin' or whatever. Neither did Seto, but I think he did try to help some of those guys they brought in.

[Which probably consisted of Crow not quite "helping" so much as hovering around Seto to make sure nobody looked at him funny and occasionally asking or saying odd things about the whole deal.]

He would, wouldn't he?

[Firo's smile is tinged with fondness and a hint of exasperation. He worries about that kid's better nature; that's one way he wishes Seto were more like Crow.]

Good. The shit that went on there... That's not for kids like you two.

[Hrm] It didn't sound like it was fun at all, so good thing I didn't have to get dragged along for it. [Same for Seto, too.

...Sucks to be you though, Firo. But he can tell just from looking at you that it was probably terrible.]

Of course it wasn't fun. You think I like havin' to look at those fuckers?

[He sighs and shakes his head. He'd be angrier, but he's just too tired to get worked up. And, as an immortal, some of the horror from it all was lost on him.

He sounds less irritated and more confused as he continues:]

Some really weird crap was goin' on there, too. I thought we all died... But then they brought us back right away. No penalty or anything.

[He says it like it wasn't upsetting, because it wasn't. To him, at least.]

Hold up, you think you died? [He actually seems kind of surprised for a moment at that, but then he shakes his head.] Geez, I knew that it was gonna suck, but now I'm glad I didn't have to deal with that.

[Firo shrugs.]

It felt different from all the times I died before. Not sure why or how...

[Bad different. But he's not going to tell Crow that.]

You've died before? [This is the first he's hearing about this...well, the first he's paying attention if the subject has actually already come up before.]

...Well you seem t'be pretty cool about it, like it's not a big deal or something.

[Oops. Firo'd forgotten that Crow's one of the people he hasn't told.]

...Yeah. Kinda of a long story.

Well, it's annoyin' as hell, but I guess it really isn't that big a deal if I just get back up a few seconds later.

[That doesn't stop him from flipping out when someone kills him. It's the principle of the thing.]

You're kidding, right?

[How could you possibly be able to get back up a few seconds later? And even then it's still kind of a big deal!!]

No.

[He rubs the back of his neck, wondering if he should regret that honesty. But he's tired of keeping this a secret.]

It's been this way for years. Somebody shoots me or cuts my throat and I piece myself back together.

Yeah, right. Most humans can't do anything like that...

[...Though now he might be staring at you a little suspiciously, possibly wondering if maybe he's made the same mistake about you that you made about him before when he told you that he was actually a robot...]

You want me to prove it to you?

[His hand goes to the inner pocket of his jacket. His knife is always within reach.]

[For some reason that rattles him a little--no, he doesn't actually want you to die to prove a point, but he's also a stubborn brat and he's pretty sure that this is total BS.]

You can't prove something like that! What are you gonna do, just drop dead right here and now?

I'm not killin' myself in front a' you. I wouldn't do somethin' like that to you.

[Seeing someone die is never easy. Maybe it's happened to Crow before, but Firo doesn't want to add to that.

He takes the knife out all the way.]

But I can show you what happens when I get hurt.

[This idiot really shouldn't be encouraging this kind of behavior, but Crow is actually pretty curious to see what Firo's talking about. He eyes the knife a little dubiously, but--]

Oh yeah? Well if you're so sure, then let's see it.

[Firo nods and cuts across the palm of his hand. As the wound bleeds, he holds his hand up so Crow has a good view.]

It takes longer here than it usually does.

[But give it a moment... And the blood seems to rewind, flowing backwards into the cut, which then seals itself up. There's not even a scar left.]

[what the hell...]

How did you get it to do that? That's not a human thing, is it?

It's a long story.

[He runs a hand through his hair, wondering which parts he should leave out.]

No, it's not a human thing. It's from this, uh... Well, it's a thing made by alchemists called the elixir of life.

Alche--what? [Yeah, we don't know what that is, Firo.]

Alchemists.

[He ponders teasing Crow about not knowing what they are. Maybe if he weren't so tired.]

They, uh... They were kinda like scientists, I guess, just with really weird stuff. The elixir, homonculi... That kinda stuff.

...Right, got it.

[No, he doesn't got it--at least, not completely, he still has no idea what elixirs or homonculi are. But please, do go on anyway.]

[He shrugs, wondering how he can wrap up a story like this. It all seemed pretty weird at the time and he's still not clear on all the alchemy stuff.]

A while ago I, uh... took some alcohol from some guy and it turned out to be the elixir. So now if somebody kills me I just come back.

So...you drank some kind of stuff and now you don't get hurt from anything anymore? [That's what he's getting out of this, anyway.] Sounds pretty weird to me.

Hey, I never said it wasn't weird. Just less weird than what happened on the draft.

[Well, if you're used to that.]

It doesn't work as well in Luceti, though, so don't try and take my head off, all right?

[He makes a slight face at that, as if almost disgusted by the idea.]

Wasn't planning on it.
