True story. Actually Happened. in game, that is..

A whirr and a thunk of the clockwork parts alerted Kyo that Alphonse, his new toy, was about to do something that might actually be of use to him. The previous three attempts, although successful, provided little to no information on Alphonse's true purpose. Behind the 15 foot spider-like contraption came the sound of metal sliding against metal.

Moving to the back of Alphonse, followed curiously by Dogal and Gwen Victor was temporarily unconscious and unable to learn of this wonderful new discovery, Kyo found a large opening and a message engraved on the inside wall. Feed Me.

"I wonder what you feed it," Gwen said, thinking. "You know, that hole is rather human-sized."

"Where's Essen when you need her?" Kyo paced about, thinking of things to feed it. "Dust? No."

"People. It needs people." Gwen licked her lips contently. "People sound good."

"Again.. Where's Essen when you need her?"

"Victor." Dogal piped in. "He's a perfect candidate, I might add." Dogal made his way to the rather unsightly man. His skin was slightly charred, but he looked as if he had just been through reconstructive surgery for third-degree burns.

"You're just going to feed Victor to Alphonse?" Kyo asked, walking over to watch what Dogal was doing.

"Why now? He's already been a willing... subject twice. Lets see what happens when you 'feed' the clockwork!" With that, Dogal grabbed Victors arms, dragged him to the back and forced the larger man into the chute. The door slammed shut and a small Victor-esque aura left the machine.

"Oh no you don't," Dogal cried, pulling out his whip and running a hand across it. He snapped the whip at the Aura and wrapped it around its leg. He pulled the Victor-aura to him, though it really seemed as if it wanted to leave. Dogal clung to the Aura, thinking of something to do, but Gwen had a better, quicker solution. With one gulp, the Victor-aura was slurped up like a noodle.

Kyo sighed. "You know. I don't think Alphonse needed that much power..."

"You gotta feed your carnivorous contraption somehow.." Dogal said smugly.

"And you, your carnivorous meat-shields." Kyo's voice had a tinge of annoyment. Flipping a switch, Alphonse's legs came to life and followed Kyo as he made his way toward Lor once more.

a/n: Poor Victor. Ah well. 'tis the torture of having a Chaotic Evil bard and Gwen... XD

Yeah. Sorry theres been a shortage of Drabbles.. Last weeks game was uneventful, and this week has been tiring and... absentminded. :) tear Ah well. Hopefully I'll come up with some ideas to write about this week. :) -Lochoko
