Ж-Men...but not the ones you might expect!
This week LJ Russia launched Ж-Men, a new comedy series about superheroes, inspired by the LJ communities dedicated to superheros, comics and cartoons. The title's "Ж" comes from ЖЖ, the nickname for LiveJournal in Russia.

Ж-Men's script is written by a group of LJ enthusiasts who also happen to be television professionals. Who knew? Following the premiere, five more episodes will be broadcast over the next two weeks. We hope you find the series fresh and enjoyable.

This is, of course, an experiment for LiveJournal. As always, we'd love to hear what you think!

I. Hate. Work.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm working my ass off to get up through the ranks. Then I remember, and I feel like a bastard for it.

There was an emergency back in Amestris, hence my absence for the past few weeks. I will not go into details, but I am tempted to burn these bastard crutches.

I need a drink. Anyone, and I mean that.

Oh Edward? I might meld you to the floor if you don't stop your shenanigans.

I'm back on schedule now. Ano, I'm sorry that I was gone for so long. I think that I've caught up on my sleep now, and I've not had any strange dreams for a few nights. I guess my mind must just get restless sometimes. I feel like such a slob, having just been mostly sleeping lately. But now I'm all re-energised.

( Private to Niisan )

So... what has everyone been up to? Anything exciting happen whilst I was... sleeping.

((OOC: I'm a moron XD I was supposed to put Roy and Al on hiatus, but I completely forgot to post it. *head desk* During the time, Al's been sleeping/sleep deprived))

...Okay I seem to have gotten a little bit lost...

*sounds of clicking from metal on metal can be heard as Ed moves further along in the vent* ...Huh?...What's that sound...? *looks down through the vents bars the sound of cracking can be heard* ...Oh crap...*notices he's in one of the area's that where weakened by all the elemental chaos*

*sounds of breaking and Ed struggling to stay in the vent can be heard before a yelp is heard as Ed's back slams against the hard floor below as well as his head knocking him out cold*

*A light tapping of small paws can be heard as they run to where his master fell, standing right next to the laptop that managed to avoid the fall*

Mew....MEOW! *and through out the rest of the voice post all you can hear is the Oreo's Meowing to try and wake up his master, as well as the sound of water flowing*

ooc: Ed was hiding out from Roy and Al so he's been sneaking about in the ventilation system...his elbow bumped the Voice post button just before he fell just missing the pools edge but some of the debris has smashed the control and now the pool is flooding over who will save him...? -- Nobody knows…
