Can someone please tell me why people of this city like to make stuff up?

To note, I have not nor have I ever broken into a donut store with some guy called Randall and ate so many donuts that I passed out with icing on me.

[Clearly someone isn't impressed with this rumour going around and she wants it to stop.]

So if anyone is spreading that, please stop as patients I have to work with keep giving me weird looks and asking if I was charged with stealing them. It's not funny and I don't appreciate it.

[She could be heard working on something as she was speaking as well. A woman's job is never done after all.]

Ms Winry, please calm down. I-It'll be okay...?

[He hopes. Eliot is such a doormat. He doesn't know how to actually help defeat a rumor.]

[When it switched to video it was obvious at this point what she was doing. She had been currently working on automail for what seems to be a small child.]

I am calm. I'm annoyed, yes. But not annoyed enough to do anything.

I never said you would... N-Not that I don't think you're not the type of girl who would take action! You're very proactive, ah... um.

I'll see what I can do about correcting the rumors..? Somehow.

Only if it's needed. As people said this will probably die down eventually.

So this case I don't need to do anything beyond just explaining to people that it's just a rumour. I mean after all the hospital had to question me about it too and I could have lost my job if they didn't check the police station to see if I actually had a record because of it.

How rude of the staff to even have doubts. They must not know you well.

[Eliot's expression puffs up like an angry chipmunk or something. He's about as threatening as the comparison, too.]

Anyone who knows you won't doubt the truth for a second. Don't you worry!

Not really. I spend all day in my office unless I am needed for a fitting or to make adjustments.

[So basically they rarely see her unless they need to.]

What?! You don't socialize at work either?

[Loud worry!]

What are you even doing in your free time?!

No. I have to make the prosthetics, which means I spend all day in the office doing that.

[Elliot you don't know what she does in her free time.]

As for free time. Spend it with my Pokemon.

Don't worry about it, it will pass. People are disturbingly enamored with gossip, it's just how things are here.

People shouldn't just sit there and accept it through until it passes.

You are doing your best to dispel these rumors. But sometimes acknowledging them only intensifies the gossip.

Considering I had the hospital asking me questions about it, I had to acknowledge it to make sure I didn't get fired.

That... I see. Yes, that is concerning. If there's any further trouble you might want to ask Guardian Haller to speak to your employer, reassure them that the rumors are false.

Thankfully, I don't think there will be. At least when it comes to work.

[Though it is making her think a few things over.]

Good. If there's anything you need a Guardian to smooth over, give me a call.

[ Even if he isn't sure how much clout he would have in Genessia City. But. Worth a try. ]

I'm sure I won't need anything. Just to let this die down, for now, I guess. [A pause.]

Going to also hope that it doesn't happen again.

Hopefully. Although the rumor mill never exhausts itself... It's kind of amazing, really.

Someone has way to much time on their hands.

I'm afraid so. This place has very little excitement. People... make their own. I'm sorry.

It's fine...just going to have to get used to it if it happens again.

I hope not. These rumors having consequences for your professional life is taking it too far. Even if I'm right now not sure what can be done without drawing more attention to the victims.

I just hope it doesn't affect anyone else like that. I mean with me it would have meant a criminal record which was why it had to be talked about.

It's sucks but it got sorted quickly.

Still frustrating that there isn't really anything we can do to protect people from it. Some of that gossip is entertaining enough but it's not funny anymore when it affects people's livelihood.

I am not sure it was ever funny in the first place. But that is just me.

But if there is no way to prevent it, it can't really be helped. Unless there is a way, but I don't think there is.

Neither do I. Well, if I think of something you'll be the first to know. In the meantime I can only wish you it's truly done with now.

Did you break in without some guy called Randall?

I didn't break in at all.

I don't even eat donuts.

[Appalled gasp.]

What is wrong with you...?

Not sure if you asking because of the donut comment or not...

[She really hopes so honestly.]

What else would it be? Have you never had a donut in your entire life? That's tragic.

I've never really had the time to try one here.

Nor had I really had a reason to want to.

You work at some kind of place, right?

I work at Genessia Hospital.

[...] I do too. I'll just bring them to you there.

Ah... I would say I never met you around the hospital but in all honesty, I don't really meet many people who work there unless it's the rare occasion I am out for either making measurements or fitting automail or I should really call them prosthetics.

[She can't help but laugh slightly.]

I pretty much live in my office when at the hospital.

You do prosthetics? Cool! You must be super smart. Admittedly, they didn't exactly give me a tour when I started, and I'm still new. I might get lost... But I hope you're ready to eat twelve dozen donuts.

Wait, one dozen. One dozen donuts.

I do. Ever since I was a young girl, but I wouldn't call myself super smart. I am always learning.

[She paused, she knew she didn't get much of a tour herself when she first joined, so she figured she should try and be polite and actually...get out of the office more so she doesn't have a certain vampire worrying.]

If you get lost, you can always ask me for help. I know most of the layout at this point after all.

[there's someone he hasn't heard from in a while. the story is almost enough to make him laugh. or at least let out a huff. almost. so instead, with a smirk that fades away as quickly as it comes before chiming in,]

Secret's safe with me.

[sure he says this now. but one of these days...]

[She frowns slightly.]

What does that even mean?

... it means I’m kidding.

Ah... I assume it was a joke, huh?

Sorry. Just try not to let it get to you.

I won't too much. Just the one time where it was important to actually let people know. But that's done though.

Guess if I was in your shoes, I'd probably think the same thing...

Yeah. When my job was on the line because of it. But it's done now and I'm just going to ignore it.

Mm.

But I hope something like this doesn't happen to you.
