Chapter 9: The Monster Mash

Summary: Alphonse meets the man in red; Ed and Alucard meet their first foes of the night

Ed looked back to the colonel, who was still eyeing the space Alucard was occupying warily. "Hey Roy, do I get permission to go check on Al, or do I have to do it behind your back?"

"Either way you're going to do it. However, since you asked, I'll refrain from getting angry with you." Mustang flashed him a smirk, then with a quick gesture to Hawkeye was gone.

"Come on." He moved swiftly to the door, checked to see what the state of the hallway was, then moved as fast as he could to the room he shared with Al. The hallway, though dark, was just barely navigatable. Only once or twice did he run into something or other, and only a few times more did Alucard have to grab him to keep him from colliding with something. An action that, while confusing, was appreciated, which Ed voiced with a meager "Thanks."

Upon reaching the room he thought to be his brother's, he kicked in the door when he found it locked, only to be greeted with the shriek of an elderly woman. "Oops, sorry, wrong room." He shut the door as best he could before fixing it with alchemy, ignoring all the while the laughter of the man accompanying him.

After a third wrong room, Alucard spoke up. "Would you like me to show you which room you're after, or are we going to spend the night startling old women?"

Ed huffed, not wanting to admit defeat, but not wanting to waste anymore time either. "Fine. Since you can see in the dark and all." Alucard didn't correct him, putting to rest the sneaking suspicion Ed'd had ever since they'd started off on this journey.

The Nosferatu swept past him, walking just fast enough that Ed had to jog to keep him in sight. Without warning, Alucard stopped, spun on his heel and made a grand gesture at the door he'd come to stand by.

With a rye, thank-you-ever-so-much gesture, Ed stopped to stand next to the man, trying the handle. It was locked, of course.

"Allow me, unless of course, you want to continue inducing cardiac arrest on unsuspecting fools."

Ed opened his mouth to retaliate angrily in his brother's defense, only to become suddenly lost for words as Alucard leaned uncomfortably close. The Nosferatu smirked mischievously at him before a soft click drew his attention, doorknob turning in his loose grasp. Looking down he was startled to see a red clad arm removing itself from the depths of the solid wood door. "Uh…Thanks." He wasn't sure why he was so surprised, considering he'd seen him do much the same thing the first time they'd met.

The No Life King made an 'after you' gesture, to which Ed rolled his eyes and opened the door. He'd barely taken a step inside when he felt something solid connect with his face, stars exploding before his eyes as the ground made fast friends with his ass. "OWWHATHFUH?" The words came out more slurred than he would have liked, his mouth affected by the sudden numbness that had descended when his nerve endings had short circuited. He was vaguely aware of laughter coming from somewhere above him.

Alucard's POP
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

He couldn't stop the laughter, the scene was just too damn priceless. The younger brother's horrified look as he tried to hide the bed railing behind his back, the older brother laid out on the floor with a broken nose and busted lip, a vague, confused look on his face. From the moment he got within 10 feet of the door he'd known the other kid was lying in wait, but hadn't expected him to be able to muster up enough strength to actually do any damage. Apparently the wasted visage was stronger than it looked.

"Oh no! Brother, I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you! I heard the explosion, and then the lights went off and people started screaming and-"

Ed cut him off with a sharp wave of his hand. "'M 'lrigh, nah li'e ehvn' 'en 'id ahfor." Blood sprayed slightly with each mangled word, the scent of it burning a hole in Alucard's stomach. Even mingled with spit and snot, virgin blood alit upon his senses like no other. He pushed the animalistic urge to attack away, forcing the solidity of the hospital and the situation it contained to settle itself firmly in his mind.

"Uh…" A confused look crossed Alphonse's face, railing drooping slightly as his mind raced to try to figure out what he'd just been told. Alucard decided to translate, lest they be there all night. He had things to mutilate and people to…well, mutilate.

"I believe the gist of that mangled sentence is, he's been hit before, so any brain damage that could occur, already has." A sly grin split his face as the kid jumped visibly, noticing him for the first time.

He chose to ignore the younger blonde at the sound of the elder trying to form words of protest at the not-so-subtle insult. Without preempt he reached down and grabbed hold of the back of Ed's shirt, lifting him easily despite the fact that he weighed more than he should have, and setting him gently back on his feet. Alucard surveyed the alchemist for a moment as he tried to get his bearings, before turning his attention back to the room's occupant. "Perhaps you should fix him before he manages to repaint the entirety of this god-awful floor with his blood." Not that he wouldn't be happy to see the kid have a row with whomever was left of the hospital staff about it.

"Wha-oh! Right!" Alphonse rushed to stand before his brother, wobbling slightly on too thin legs. Alucard watched in silence as the guardrail was released in favor of the door-jam, golden eyes surveying the mess that had once been called a nose. "Wow brother, I really did a number on you…" Ed scowled and Al looked sheepish. "Right, sorry." He let go of the door frame, slapping his palms together. "Hold still!"

Alphonse held his palms to Ed's face, not actually touching the wound. Small, intricate arcs of energy danced in the space between their flesh, captivating him. The No Life King watched with great interest as the alchemy simultaneously stitched and reconstructed Ed's face until it looked as it always had, albeit more bloody.

"I'd say thanks, but since you did it in the first place, I think we're even." Ed grumbled good naturedly as he used the back of his sleeve to wipe away the leftover blood.

"I said I was sorry, brother. Besides, you shouldn't have snuck up on me like that! I thought you where one of the attackers! I mean, usually, you just kick the door in."

Ed turned slowly to look at him, a semi-manic smile on his face. "You hear that? Usually I just kick the door in…"

Alucard cocked an eyebrow playfully at him, not at all affected by the way the words were ground out. "Yes. It would seem your making an ass of yourself is how others differentiate you from the enemy, bravo." He watched as the newly healed face scrunched up into a scowl. Leaning down so they were nose to nose, Alucard cut off the angry come back. "You shouldn't make such faces, you might hurt yourself." He watched with satisfaction as the golden eyes opposite his widened, pupils contracting at the sudden intimacy of their relative positions. The soft tone he'd used had obviously done it's job in distracting the teen from the actual words he'd spoken, the lack of fist in his eye telling him as much. And he hadn't even had to use his quote-un-quote 'sex beam', as he'd once heard it called.

"Hey, um, Ed? Can I talk to you?"

He straightened as Ed blinked, looking dazedly over at his brother. Alphonse's eyes were going back and forth between the two of them, a look of barely concealed apprehension on his face. "Wha-oh. Yea, sure."

Alucard didn't even bother pretending he wasn't listening, as was apparently polite(or so his Master's had told him). Instead he closed the door and leaned against it, arms crossed, watching as Ed lead Al back to sit on his bed, chuckling to himself when the former managed to stub his foot on something or other.

With Alphonse seated on the bed, and Ed standing before him, Alucard listened to their whispered conversation, his keen senses allowing him to make everything out as if they'd deemed to include him. After all, he hadn't been told expressly not to eavesdrop.

"Brother, who is he?" The only eye of Alphonse's Alucard could see flicked to him before returning to Ed.

"He's, well….God, according to Father."

"G-god?"

"Heh, well, he's not actually 'God' per se'…" Ed trailed off, and Alucard knew the kid was finally realizing how little he knew about the Nosferatu. "Look, remember when I told you we won because we had God on our side?"

"Yea. And I asked what you meant, and you wouldn't tell me because you said it could wait until later…"

Ed laughed sheepishly, and Alucard found himself feeling slightly affronted that the kid didn't feel the need to tell everyone about the guy who'd saved his ass. Twice. Was it twice? He thought so.

"Heh, well, I sort of didn't expect any of this to happen." 'Obviously' Alucard added mentally to himself. "But, uh, anyway…." Ed hooked a thumb over towards where he stood. "I was referring to him. He's the 'God' Father pulled from inside the World's Gate."

Again Alphonse's gaze was on him, a calculating look in the single eye. Alucard flashed him a toothy grin, and the eye narrowed. "Brother…"

"Look Al, I know what you're thinking. But he's offered to help, so for now he's our ally." Alucard found great amusement in the phrasing 'offered to help', but didn't say anything.

Alphonse sighed, then nodded. "Right. So." A golden brow rose. "Does Colonel Mustang know you're here?"

"WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ASSUME I-" Ed made a strangled noise before exhaling loudly. "Yea, he knows. Now-" He put his hands on his hips, voice regaining it's usual cocky measure. "You gonna come quietly, or do I have to throw you over my shoulder and carry you the entire way?"

"What? Brother what're you-ED! PUT ME DOWN!"

Ed grinned over at Al, who he'd grabbed and, as promised, slung over his shoulder. "Re-lax, I've got this aaaaaaall under control."

Alucard laughed, phasing backwards through the door as he did, just for Alphonse's amusement(or his really, since it startled Alphonse more than it did 'amuse' him). Opening it for them from the outside, he made another overly exaggerated 'after-you' gesture.

Ed swaggered out into the hall, and Alucard followed directly behind them, watching as Alphonse attempted to get his brother to put him down, with no success.

"You should be thankful he's carrying you. Otherwise it might have taken us days to reach the ground floor." Alucard tried to keep the comment as neutral as possible, but still got a scowl for it. "You should also be thankful that here, you don't have backless hospital gowns." The last bit was a thought that had just randomly entered his mind, but had stuck with ludicrous tenacity.

Alphonse blinked owlishly, momentarily forgetting his predicament as he processed the information, before a slight blush rose to his cheeks. "Why wouldn't they have backs?"

Alucard shrugged. "Why indeed. I always just associated it with the perversion of the human mind." Which was true, he really had never put much thought into it.

Alphonse looked at him oddly. "Are you-you're not human are you." Golden eyes swept over him, although, in this lighting, how much of him was visible to the human ocular was questionable.

"No."

Alphonse lapsed into silence, studying him. Finally, as if coming to a decision(Alucard hadn't been listening to the inane prattle of the two kids' minds.) Al offered his hand, doing his best to meet eyes he couldn't see. "I'm Alphonse Elric."

Alucard chuckled softly. "So it falls to the younger to observe the niceties." He eyed the hand but didn't offer his own.

"Hey shut up!" Ed paused momentarily during his outburst, before continuing on again as if nothing had happened.

Alphonse sighed, propping his chin in the hand formally held out in greeting, elbow resting on his brother's back. "Do you have a name? I don't want to have to refer to you as 'that guy in red' for the rest of the night."

"'His Masters call him Alucard'." Ed's imitation of him was horrible to the point of being funny, idiotic hand gestures and all. At Alphonse's questioning look, Alucard made a vague 'he's right' motion with his hand.

Although he looked a bit confused, Al nodded. "Ok. Alucard." When he realized Alucard wasn't going to say anything further, Al sighed and lowered his head, resting it against folded arms.

They continued on in silence for awhile, save for some cussing here and there on Ed's part when he learned he'd be taking the stairs.

"Of course the elevator's out brother, how could it possibly work with no power?"

Ed grumbled and stomped off. Alucard followed, growing bored. So far, they hadn't encountered anything scarier than a trolley of bedpans. This was something that needed to be remedied, and with a little help from his various senses, the answer came to him. "Edward." he stopped moving as he spoke, waiting for the alchemist to turn with a huff.

"What."

He gestured to the floor. "The human round up your…friends are in charge of, is currently happening beneath our feet. Maybe we should leave the kid with them, so we can get on with the mission."

"No, let's bring Al with us to the fight…of course I'm taking him to Breda and Falman! Yeesh, what do I look like? Wait, don't answer that."

Chuckling, Alucard floated towards the huffy kid, who's eyes grew wide at the sight. Before Ed could unfreeze himself, Alucard grabbed hold of his free arm. With a grin, he began to phase through the floor, pulling Ed and Al with him.

Ed's POP

By the time his mind registered the fact that Alucard was, indeed, floating towards him like some demented specter, he had a whole new horror to come to terms with: he was disappearing through the floor. It was the strangest sensation he'd felt to date, and far too similar to the sensation of passing through the Gate for his liking.

"Brother, what's happening?"

He could feel Al squirming about on his shoulder, and after ascertaining that Alucard wasn't planning on letting go, tightened his grip on his brother's legs. Instinct demanded he close his eyes, and so he did, waiting for the sensation to pass and solid ground to once again find his feet.

The feeling of weightlessness ended, but the hand didn't remove itself from his arm. He wasn't sure if they'd come to a stop, his body still buzzing with the foreign power that had momentarily taken it over.

"You can open your eyes now." The voice was tinged with humor that was momentarily lost on him.

Very slowly he complied, cracking first one, then the other open, making sure things were back to normal. Suffice to say he was not expecting the sea of faces he was met with.

"Ed?"

Fully opening his eyes, he grinned sheepishly at first Falman, then Breda, who looked as though they'd just seen a ghost. Or someone just magically walk through a ceiling, which was actually a hell of a lot weirder.

The two men (as well as all the patients they'd been able to gather) looked between him and the Nosferatu, who'd finally released his arm. "How-?"

Ed quickly waved their questions away, not at all ready to begin to try to explain Alucard's magic powers, since he had a feeling the Nosferatu wouldn't. "Never mind, not important, tell you later." As he spoke he walked to a gurney that was being used to push a few of the patients unable to walk quickly enough. Being as gentle as he could, he set Alphonse down on it, the other occupants making room for the still-emaciated boy.

"Alright Al, I've got to go find whatever asshole's behind this. Keep an eye on these two eh? " He jabbed a thumb over towards Falman and Breda.

Alphonse nodded, a weak smile on his face. "Ok. Just be careful brother." Ed couldn't see where his eyes momentarily moved to, but had a feeling it was someone tall, and wearing an obscene amount of red.

"C'mon, you know me, when am I not careful?" He gave his younger brother a winning smirk, the response of which was a slow shaking of the head.

"That's what I'm worried about."

Patting Al on the shoulder, Ed turned to Breda and Falman. "Good luck, and make sure you take good care of my brother, or else." He flashed them a wicked smirk, to which they raised their hands in defeat and promised to do just that.

Turning to Alucard to inform him they should get going, he was thrown off by the fact that the Nosferatu was looking over his head, a feral half grin on his lips. "It would seem the first round of entertainment has found us."

"What the hell are you-" The sounds of one, then two, then many screams cut him off. Ed spun about wildly, looking for the source of the commotion. Unfortunately, his height was working against him, the heads of the patients blocking his view. "Damnit!"

"Brother, come up here, look!" Alphonse grabbed at his arm as he spoke, motioning over the now unruly mob of people.

With a quick nudge to the guy next to Alphonse, Ed managed to climb up onto the gurney next to his brother, and through the sea of panicked faces, was able to make out that there were things moving around behind them. He couldn't tell what they were, or what they were doing, but from the sound of it, it wasn't anything good. Ignoring the fact that the gurney was not the steadiest of things to stand on, Ed did just that, putting a hand on his brother's head to steady himself.

"Brother, what is it? What's happening?" Alphonse shook his pant-legs, but Ed wasn't paying attention.

"Chimera's." Ed watched as the strangely proportioned creatures moved toward them. They were following the noise, the scent of blood that their companion had caused. The companion that was currently gnawing on some poor guy's leg. Who happened to still be alive, although for how long was uncertain, the feathered cat like creature was taking huge chunks out of his flesh, shaking the limb at various intervals. There was blood everywhere, and if someone didn't do something soon…

Ed blinked, snapping himself out of the stupor he'd fallen into. For whatever reason, that seemed to be happening a lot lately, and it was really starting to annoy him. He looked down at his little brother, who still had a hold of his legs. "They're using chimera's, there's at least four of them that I can see. Stay here and help Breda and Falman look out for these people as best you can, but don't strain yourself, ok?"

Alphonse nodded, his face going from wide-eyed apprehension to steadfast determination. "Right."

Ed turned, intending to ask Alucard to help him, only to find the Nosferatu was gone. He scowled. "WHERE THE HELL DID HE GO?" Grumbling obscenities under his breath, Ed scanned the hallway, but didn't see any indication of the Nosferatu.

"Ed!" Again Al shook his pant-legs, drawing his attention. As he turned to address the younger alchemist, a streak of red caught his eye. He snapped his head up so fast his neck cracked, and for a spilt second he felt stupidly dizzy. 'note to self: don't do that.' As he rubbed the back of his neck, he looked for, and found, the No Life King.

Alucard had grabbed the tail of the bird/cat chimera and yanked it away from it's still-breathing meal. In retaliation, the beast had whipped around, latching itself onto the nosferatu's forearm. Ed watched as the beast shook it's head, malformed beak tearing through flesh and bone alike until with a sickening squelch, it'd managed to tear the arm from it's owner. Alucard laughed, seemingly ignorant of the blood spilling idly from the mangled stump, other hand still firmly grasping the beast's tail.

Spitting the limb to the floor, the chimera again turned to it's assailant, this time bending in on itself to get a hold of the other arm. It managed to get a hold of Alucard's hand with it's beak, which Ed noticed was filled with jagged teeth. At the same time, one of the taloned forefeet clamped down just below the elbow, and a second later the beast had rolled it's body, tearing away the limb in it's grasp.

Alucard's laughter escalated, the chimera dropping it's prize to eye him warily. Ed watched as the creature coiled it's legs under it, a warning shout lost amidst the tumult of the people and monsters crowding the hall. The force of the impact sent the two crashing into the wall, feathers falling to the floor as they were jarred loose. The chimera, pinning Alucard to the wall, shook it's head, having somehow managed to stun itself(Ed would bet a 100 cenz it had to do with the large hole next to Alucard's shoulder).

The laughter abruptly stopped, and over the noise of the people around him, Ed heard the Nosferatu's deep baritone. "'My turn.'"

Black masses shot forth from the stumps, forming swiftly into fully clad arms. Without missing a beat, the No Life King grabbed hold of the beak that had shot towards his face, holding it open and at bay. Predatory grin sliding onto his lips, he twisted the deformed, feathered head, before ripping the jaw apart. The motion was smooth, separating not only the lower jaw, but breaking the neck as well. The body hit the floor with a thud, jaw soon following.

Pushing himself from the now cracked wall, Alucard stepped over the thing, managing in the process to break one of the legs beneath his boot. Now facing the three other creatures that had come to a stop some 5 feet away, Alucard looked back over his shoulder, flashing Ed a grin. '"Are you going to fight with me solider boy, or do you plan on overseeing the fight from your step stool?"'

Ed jolted at the sudden voice reverberating through his skull, recognizing it as Alucard's despite the fact he never saw the man's mouth move. "What?" 'the hell?'

'"You heard me, kid."'

He felt the heat rise to his face, anger making him grind his teeth without realizing it. "WHO'RE YOU CALLING SO SMALL THAT HE LOOKS UP AT ANTHILLS AND THINKS THEY'RE MOUNTAINS?"

"HA HA HA, YOU!" The second the words left his mouth, the man became a red blur as he shot towards the wary monsters that had been trying to stare him down.

At the same time, Ed had shaken off Al's hands and leapt from the gurney, landing atop some guy as he did. Not even bothering to apologize, Ed picked himself up and shoved his way through the last of the crowd. As soon as he was clear of the people, he slapped his hands together, then threw himself into the wall. From beneath his hands a wave of plaster and wood erupted, gaining girth and speed the closer it got to it's destination. As it reached the chimeras, the wave broke, and spikes and fists erupted outwards, catching the beasts off guard. Not waiting to see the damage he'd caused, Ed bolted forward, repeating the process with the floor, making sure not to hit Alucard in the process. That, however, was proving hard, considering how fast the man could alter his position to gain the upper hand.

The closer he got, the more gruesome the sight before him became. Blood spatters and smears covered the walls, ceiling, and floor; feathers, skin, teeth, and god knows what else littered the floor. Gouges from claws and spikes only added to the chaos he'd managed to create with his alchemy, and only one of the beasts lay unmoving on the ground.

Ducking around Alucard, who was fending off both remaining beasts at once with a feral grin on his face, Ed caught the one closest to him square in the face with a left hook. The goatish head jolted to the side with the force, allowing Alucard to get a better grip on the thing's horn. A powerful twirl of his arm sent flipping onto it's back to crash into the wall once he'd let go. Horrible bleating noises erupted from it, the sound distorted by the black blood gushing from between it's lips. Seeing that Alucard was dealing quite enthusiastically with the final chimera, something that looked like a cross between a gorilla and a lizard, Ed moved to take care of it.

Mismatched legs kicked wildly, crashing into the wall, adding to the damage and gore. As Ed neared, the chimera twisted the more reptilian back half of it's body about, somehow managing to get a hold of the wall and flipping itself back over. The creature was battered and bleeding, an obvious limp in it's step as it swayed back and forth. Ed knew the maneuver, having grown up in the middle of the country, and sure enough, it reared up onto it's hind legs. Taller even than Alucard, it looked down at him with crazed eyes, head cocked and neck stiff. For the breadth of a second they held eyes, and Ed didn't dare blink. With surprising speed and deadly force the chimera lunged, but Ed was ready. Bone met metal, the automail leg snapping the horns and crushing the skull, sending the monstrosity flying back into the wall which gave beneath the weight. Ed lowered his leg, trying to ignore the jangling of his nerve ending as he watched his foe become buried in plaster and wood. A trail of blood slowly began to leak from beneath the rubble, and nothing moved save for the dust.

He turned to see how Alucard was fairing, only to be met with a somewhat disturbing sight: the Nosferatu had pulled the chimera's limbs off, using them as weapons. Legs stuck out oddly from where they were embedded in the torso, the creatures coat matted with blood. It still lived, still fought, but was only able to writhe and bite, Alucard standing above it, taunting it, letting it get just close enough before moving away.

Ed shuddered, disgust boiling in the pit of his stomach. "Just kill it already…" The childish way his voice cracked at the end only furthered the horrible feeling.

Alucard looked up at him, grin faltering only for a second before returning full force. "As you wish." His attention turned back to the monster lying before him. A swift movement of his foot brought death, the resulting gore somehow managing to get on everything but the Nosferatu.

Ed looked away, turning his attention back towards the group of people they'd been protecting. They looked fine for the most part, discounting of course the looks of horror plastered on every face. And the guy that had earlier been made into a snack, he didn't look too good. Alive, but barely.

He moved towards them, the soft thud and squelch of boot steps behind him indicating the No Life King was following. He saw to the injured man, did everything he could for him, before seeking out Al. His younger brother greeted him with wide, almost haunted eyes, eyes that reflected the inhuman pinpricks of red behind him. Looking over, he caught Breda and Falman's eyes, motioning for them to join him.

"Look, I don't know how many more of these things there are, or if Mustang and Hawkeye managed to clear a way out." He looked between them, honestly wondering if between the three of them they'd be able to handle more chimera attacks. "But I think it'd be safer if we all went together and-"

"I think not."

Ed spun about, his anger somewhat dulled when he realized that Alucard was directly behind him. The No Life King was frowning down at him, arms crossed and glasses cockeyed so he could look over them.

"We've wasted enough time already, and this is growing tiresome. If we are to catch your criminals, we should do it now before they loose nerve and run away….or get bored of waiting for a confrontation."

Although annoyed, he knew Alucard had a valid point, more or less. Chewing his lip semi-unconsciously, he turned back to Alphonse, who was eyeing Alucard. "Al-"

"He's right brother." Al's eyes shifted back to him, gold irises burning with resoluteness. "Go do what you have to do, we'll be all right."

He clasped his brother's shoulder, Al throwing him a reassuring smile.

A crash and the tinkling of broken glass drew his attention, automatically putting him on the defense. A Cheshire smile met his gaze, and Ed sighed. Alucard had, at some point, wandered over to the nearest window and proceeded to neatly smash the glass away. He was beginning to get the feeling that you couldn't take this guy anywhere.

With a last nod to both his brother, and his two brothers-in-arms, Ed moved swiftly to where Alucard was waiting. Glass crunched beneath his boots, the breeze floating in from outside carrying with it the scents of fire and death. He could see that there was a haze of dust and smoke lingering in the air, the hospital grounds now lit only by the glow of fires burning out of sight.

Ed eyed the building and the ground, making the calculations for the mental array he'd need to get down without killing himself. He glanced over at Alucard, who'd turned to face the night, a light grin on his face.

"Such a beautiful night for a fire-fight." The No Life King pivoted slowly on his heel, leaning back until he fell through both the wall and window, his smirk the last thing Ed saw before he disappeared into the darkness waiting below.

Shaking his head at the man's antics, Ed slapped his hands together then touched the sill, molding the building to suit his need. With a last glance back at the group of people in the hall, Ed followed Alucard into the darkness.

a/n: ok, I know I said there were going to be terrorists in this chapter, but hey, chimeras are like...terrorist henchmen. The terrorists would have been in here, but this was getting lengthy. And their union was being a royal pain in the ass. Coffee breaks? Perhaps. Drug stashes and sacrificial virgins? I don't bloody think so. Damn terrorists. ;D

tune in next time for more monster murderin's. They cure cancer, and, are magically delicious! (not really)
