Hope everyone had a happy holiday. I was pleasantly surprised by my oma and opa this year. They flew all the way out to L.A. to see me...and bless them, they didn't bring my parents.

I didn't get back to the office until late this afternoon so it was a nice treat to find presents for me there too.

Henry, the book you put together is amazing, I'm sure it took you a while to find all of those compositions and put them all together like this.

That mirror you gave me, Herr Greed, is absurd...I love it. I spent an entire afternoon putting things in front of it...and I've found a very practical use for it.

Herr Justice, I'm not sure who Sheryl Nome is, but the CD was superb and so were the plecks! As for the finger painting...I wonder who gave you that bit of inspiration. It's going on my wall in the office!

Daryan I had a nice chat, sorry I couldn't stay a little longer, but visiting time was limited. Hope you enjoyed the gifts.

Danke Schön!

On a more serious note...is it un-neighborly to want to put up a hedge between your home and your new neighbor's home? I say this because I have these new neighbors...moved in not too long ago and they have a very interesting lifestyle. They're nice people and all but... I did get some very unhelpful advice when I went to the office. An associate of mine told me to write an anonymous letter...a brilliant idea in theory until you get down to the writing:

Dear Neighbors,

Not that I don't enjoy the view, but your bedroom window looks right into my bedroom window. I would be much obliged if you'd invest in some curtains.

Signed,

You can see the gaping holes in this can't you? And it's like watching a train wreck, you don't really want to, but when it's there for all the world to see it it's just kind of hard to look away. Then you want to go burn your corneas out with some liquid plumber. You see the dilemma?

Nap! Eat something! Take in a movie! Call your mother! Read a fucking book!

Already read a book! The one your little peach gave us as a wedding present. Thought it was a real riot I bet... Maybe I should think of a way to thank him for giving us such a thoughtful gift~?

So you already read a fucking book. A book about fucking. Good for you. Now go watch a fucking movie. It's like a fucking book, with pictures. Fucking. Suits you better than writing thank you notes.

But it's a gift I need to deliver in person, if you get my drift?

No need to try and find him just to thank him. His thanks is in your happiness. Or something. He's generous and full of shit like that.

Oh no! But that just won't do at all! You should know better than anyone about this whole giving and receiving bullshit! He got me a gift, so now I need to get one for him! And it's gonna be a good one, too. It'll be so good, that even you'll be able to appreciate it!

...

If you want yer ass kicked that bad, we can cut out the middle man.

Oh, what do you care, anyway? He's a guy, ain't he? You gonna coddle him like some weak, defenseless woman? You're really playing the whole white knight bit a little too hard, don't you think?

You're focusing too much on him and forgetting the part where I hate you.

Did you forget the part where I threw you through a fucking wall? I thought maybe you'd wise up after that, but I guess I must have crushed what few brain cells you had left rattling around in that hollow skull of yours!

Cocky. Then you got no problem just dealing with me direct like.

It's more comfortable for you when I'm in grabbing range, isn't it? Why bother getting my hands dirty when I can sit here and watch you squirm!

You little piece of chickenshit, I'll...

Guess that's why you couldn't be that much use to your old man, either. With all yer "Homunculi are the best!" stuff, you'd think you'd do somethin' that'd at least be hard for a ten year old girl to do, but you wanna go after this one, and trash talk. Anyone can bruise a peach.

...What do you mean I'm "no use"...? I've been tasked with only the most important jobs for Father! I'm his right-hand man!

Oh. Really. I see, I see...

What part of getting pickled in a jar, selling yourself to a hot goddess, shimmying into an ugly red dress, tying the knot, and dirtying the sheets and slicing peaches is helpin' that most important job? Man, "Father"'s a complex guy with complex plans...

Oh, like you're one to talk! You couldn't even manage guard duty without flipping your shit and going after Wrath! I've still got plenty of time to nab those brats before "that day" arrives, so who cares if I goof off for a bit on the job? I'm just waiting for the most opportune moment to make my move...

As flattering as that is...I couldn't accept a gift from the new bride, a thank you note in the mail box is more than enough.

I'll tell you what, you can send me a gift on my wedding day and we'll be square.

Yeah, right! Like you're ever gonna get hitched!

[Locked]

Relax, will ya, little peach? I'm just fucking with Greed! Figured you'd appreciate the gesture, seeing as you're all butthurt at him and all.

You're right, why by the cow when you can get the milk for free? You've got to make yourself like Low's Gully, all but inaccessible.

[Locked]

I'd appreciate it if the gesture was for me. You're antagonizing him because you want to.

...Like what now?

[Locked]

Hey, he started it! Making discriminating comments like that! At least some people have an open mind about these things!

Low's Gully, one of the most inaccessible places on the Earth's surface except for when there's a drought. Then you're at the mercy of the Gully.

[Locked]

Yeah, but don't you know how Greed is...he's told me several times how much he dislikes you, I'm sure you know that. If you approach him he's only going to give you grief so...really you're like a moth to the flame.

Tch... I'm at the mercy of nothing and no one!

[Locked]

...What's that supposed to mean?

Knock on wood.

[Locked]

I don't know, I think it's pretty obvious, you've got to know that when you talk to Greed he's going to insult you. I think you do it intentionally.

I don't do it to get insulted! I do it to piss him off! Payback for all the shit he's given me over the years, that's all!

Why do you even bother talking to him if all he does is insult you? It's not like you're even on his List or anything!

I think the knife cuts both ways on that one. If you keep pissing him off he's going to keep insulting you and you can't use me as leverage.

Hn...it's complicated. I know sometimes his actions are different from his words. He might insult me while patting me on the back or buying me a drink or picking me up after falling down drunk. He has good intentions, it's just not like him to hand out compliments for free...that and he's great in bed!
