Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I suppose so. [Except when Al accidentally wakes him up.]

My home is different from this place. Everything is closed at night. It's a country, surrounded by Drachma, Creta, Aerugo and an unnamed desert.

Query 1: Destinations needed to 'do things'? Query 2: [Drachma] [Creta] [Aerugo]: also countries?

I guess not but it isn't really any fun if there isn't anyone awake. That's how it was back in Amestris anyway. Almost everyone slept through the night. Yes, we don't have states like America does.

Many popular nighttime activities require an organic body. Dancing. Copulation. Overconsumption of alcohol.

[Jaime, stop watching TV for teens with the Scarab. This can't end well.]

[Oh god, he might have just woken Ed with the noise he made.]

I'm not old enough for the last two anyway. Dancing sounds nice though.

What is your mental age?

Fourteen. I lost my body when I was eleven.

[The Scarab doesn't respond for a hair longer than the last time, because it has Research to do.]

Correct. The legal drinking age in the United States is 21. It is easily observed that many ingest alcohol underneath the age of 21 without negative repercussions. But humans over the age of 14 may legally engage in sexual activities provided their partner is underneath the age of 17.

[For a moment he wonders what Khaji is doing.]

Even if I had my body back, those activities aren't on my list of things to do or eat. If I had a relationship with someone I would want it to be because we both had strong feelings for each other.

Query: Do you believe age is relevant to possessing [strong feelings for each other]?

No but I've never found anyone that I did have strong feelings for.

[Well one day when he was younger Al considered marrying Winry but since then he's given that up.]

[There's another small delay as the Scarab cross-references that with Jaime, and his feelings for Traci. Humans are weird.]

Your reasonings are emotional. Not legal. Understood.

Exactly.

[Good, can they move on now?]

Can I ask you questions about yourself? You don't have to answer if you don't want.

[Al won't ask personal questions about Blue Beetle and compromise his secret identity.]

Yes.

Where did you come from?

I am an artificial creation of a race known to you as alien.

Were any others like you created?

Yes. There are many like me. None the same.

Did you live on your universe's version of Earth?

Yes.

How many years have you lived there?

I have been on Earth for many human lifetimes.

[Not lived, though, not until it found Jaime. It may not know many human things, but it knows that.]

[Wow. Al doesn't know or even like a lot of people who have lived many human lifetimes - except his dad.]

About how old are you?

Methods of recording time differ from planet to planet. It is impossible to answer your question within parameters you will understand.

Oh, that makes sense.

[Al never really thought of it like that before. Mostly because space is not something he thinks about. All of his thoughts are focused around him.]

If you're hurt, if you can be hurt do you repair yourself or do you need someone to help you?
