[team three] maladies and nonsense
Ed, Al & Roy (Full Metal Alchemist); G; 100 words
This is all nonsense! I know the puns as-is wouldn't work in Amestrian? Amestrisan? (what's the in-canon language?) so it's either suspension of disbelief or our-world-au in an English-speaking or at least English-familiar context :D I really wasn't sure what fandom to use, but this one felt bickering-ish enough, and other fandoms that felt like they could have a similar energy definitely wouldn't work with the English puns (...although Hyouka does have some interesting references sometimes...and I bet Eustace and Jill from Narnia would bicker...oh well).
“At your service, milady,” the guy says on the screen, like some kind of fake historical setting. Ed frowns.
“‘Milady’ kind of sounds like ‘malady’,” he tells Al, currently sitting on the rug and buried in cats.”
“Mmm,” Al hums, adding to the rumble of purring.
“The malady is worse than the disease,” Ed mumbles, scrunching his face as he tries to recall— “No, wait,” he says, then remembers. “Remedy! The remedy is worse than the disease,” he continues, nodding in satisfaction.
“At your service, remedy,” someone says in the doorway, and Ed scowls up at a grinning Roy.
“No.”
