[The video flicks onto the usual butler's charming and false smiling face. Fingers raise to touch at his yellow scarf to smooth over the soft material. Usually he wouldn't partake in such simple pleasantries as a snowball fight, but things are different this time around] Yellow isn't my usual color nor is this absurd past time, but if this is a competition, I intend to win.

Team mates, it would be delightful if you could inform me who you are and be honest. Should I find you lying, I assure you I won't be easy on you in punishment. Then again, I won't be easy on any of you.

I see some of you on my team may think yourself higher than others in not competing. I assure you a few well placed snowballs are worth it. [He smirks just as a few Yodare rush past his feet out of the house and into the snow where they nose about and shred what carcass he's laid out for them]

But tell me this, what other chance will you have to pummel someone with as many projectiles of snow as you can and potentially bruise and beat while getting away with it? I have a particular person in mind I wish to do so myself. Several actually.

[Too...? Oh, Sebastian isn't sure either.]

Hello, Mister Edward. Yes, it seems I got yellow as well. How may I assist you?

I don't know. -=This whole butler thing...=-

[The question somewhat confirms that he is on fact and in fact on his team]

Oh? Perhaps I mistook you for someone that could lead our team. I suppose I'll have to do.

You think I was looking to lead this stupid thing? -=sputters=-

Okay! Whatever!

No, just you fit that set personality. I've seen how you handle yourself around Mister Mustang.

[Yes, he has been watching you]

Are you up to the task, or shall I?

-=Damn. He's been watching? And he doesn't like the fact that Sebastian wants to be leader. But Ed's not really a leader in a militaristic way, either. Still...There are friends on the other teams. He just can't risk it.=-

I got it.

I will warn you on this and this alone. I will only follow a leader that leads with his head and not with his heart. In a competition set to win, there can only be winners not losers.

Should you falter, I will show no mercy.

And don't you forget this doesn't involve killing or maiming. I see you cause serious harm, and I'll take you out myself. -=Team or no team, you won't go on a killing spree or whatever it is you like.=-

Killing? Who do you take me for, Sir Edward. We are to throw snowballs, not fists. I will win if it is so wished. [Though snowballs can be thrown rather hard and with demonic strength....]

I won't be putting rocks in them or making them out of ice and gravel if that pleases you.

Yeah, that would be good. -=He's going to be keeping an eye on you, no matter what.=-

[Smirk] Given that your friends don't violate such rules first. I believe Miss Rei mentioned it as using her own 'tricks'. I see one snow packed snowball or something potientially harmful and I'm upping my own, Sir Edward....

Only if one of those snow balls hit you. If they're not hitting you, there's no reason to hit them with it.

Oh? So everyone else is allowed to run rampart with potientally hazardous snow balls while I am not? That seems unfair.

So you're not an honorable person willing to take the high road?

For now. I assure you, I intend to win at any cost.
