It has been quite the few days, hasn't it been, Vatheon? That conversation appearing on the network --just who had posted that, anyway?-- the experiment and then the collapse of the bubble and the evacuation. It certainly kept everybody's hands quite busy and full. But now that things are looking at little more calm, with far fewer trips needed to ferry things from down in the bubble up to the island, Station Master makes his move, abandoning his post to seek out people. Who? Well, just about anyone. He seems to avoid groups, instead seeking out people while they are alone, whether wrapped up in some activity, or moving from on place to the other. His purpose? Unclear for now, but if you are a foreigner and you are on the island, you may very well find yourself with a sudden Station Master at your side.

How will you respond?

One, if you wish to attend, please leave your SFC at your place of residence.

Two, if you happen to know of anyone who would also be interested in attending this meeting, you are free to discuss it with them, as long as you do not do so over the communicators. Seeing as those were given to you by your captors, it stands to reason they can monitor everything that goes on via them, and I'd rather keep this meeting a secret from them.

[fulmination]

Of course. I'll be sure to speak with Vanitas and Selim tonight in person.

_{[But that little bit about the SFCs, hmm. Maybe he should start keeping it stashed away unless he really needs it for awhile. Who knows what his captors know about him by now?]}

Ah! and if you need my assistance with anything else, do feel free to ask. Alchemists be thou for the people, after all.

I HAD ANOTHER IDEA.

[thalassino]

Is that so? Hmm, perhaps there is something you could assist me with.

HAVE I SAID YOU ARE ADORABLE LATELY because you are

[fulmination]

I can certainly try my best. What is it?

I came to the conclusions cause explosions. Yes.

[thalassino]

I have been told you are... quite the demolitions expert.

Yes good.

[fulmination]

_{[...Why did they never have station masters like this in Amestris Oh my goodness.]}

My my, it seems my reputation precedes me~

[thalassino]

[Ametris is simply not cool enough.]

I suppose you could agree with me that while we are gathering for the meeting it would be... best to have a little distraction elsewhere, yes? We would not want your captors to cotton onto what we are doing prematurely.

[fulmination]

_{[It just hasn't hit the retro phase yet.]}

Oh, now you're just tempting me. How could I refuse a job as lovely as that?

[thalassino]

[He just smiles.]

How skilled would you say you are at timed detonations?

[fulmination]

I gave a very dear friend of mine a scare with something similar a few months before I arrived. It wasn't an actual bomb but it gave him something to remember me by. It's simple enough to fiddle around with, I assure you.

_{[Best way to make an exit from prison, yep yep.]}

[thalassino]

[Good man, Kimblee. Actually, terrible man, but Station Master can use you for now.]

Excellent. It should divert their attention enough that we should not need worry about being discovered.

[fulmination]

_{[His life.]}

Now I have a question for you if you don't mind. Was there a location you had in mind for this little distraction? And how big would you like it?

[thalassino]

I think you would agree that the further away the better. I would not want anyone to accidentally get caught up in it. Perhaps across the island. Somewhere around where that old lighthouse stands?

[Catch his hint, Kimblee.]

[fulmination]

Of course, of course! It'd be absolutely tragic if anything like that were to happen, especially in times like these. I'll take a walk later tonight and drop by it for a visit--I've never actually been around that area, so it'll be nice to see it at least once.

_{[This is so exiting! He's never had the chance to take one of those apart!]}

One more thing; was there a time you had in mind?

[thalassino]

[Station Master is glad to aid you in your quest to blow up as many different things as you can.

He muses for a moment.]

Would quarter to ten work?

[fulmination]

_{[It'll be worth whatever trouble he gets into for this.]}

That's fine. Just leave everything to me and I'll take care of it.

[thalassino]

[He has Station Master's approval, what could be more important?]

Thank you kindly. It is always good to see someone willing to put in a little extra work.
