Temptation ran back down the tower, and on his way, he noticed something he didn't see before, a wedding poster for Joy and Greed nailed on the wall.
"What a terribly made poster." He said.
He was about to approach the exit door, when all of a sudden it opened itself. The alchemist came back in and looked at Temptation directly. Temptation stopped, unsure of how to react. He didn't know if he would get caught. The alchemist walked up to Temptation, nearly nose-to-nose, and through the darkened hood, he asked one question.
"Have you seen my hammer?"
Temptation thought of an idea and he answered "Last I heard, Greed needed a hammer to nail wedding posters all over the place."
The alchemist was stunned. "REALLY, AGAIN? He just never returns anything I let him borrow. THAT FILTHY, GREEDY BOY." The alchemist stomped out of the tower and walked toward the main building.
Temptation watched him as he left, shrugged, and ran out of the premises. He spotted an organization member parking his horse at the horse lot and entered one of the buildings. Temptation ran to that horse, untied it from its post, and rode off.

Meanwhile, Joy was getting her dress fitted for the wedding. With Envy being the only girl in the whole organization, she was tasked with making Joy ready. Greed was in the room after Joy put on the dress.
"You look stunning." Greed said in a snarky voice. "I hate these dresses. So tight and so uncomfortable to move in." Joy replied trying to move in her dress. It was a large white ball gown with many little flowery details, and a large train behind her.
"Oh don't worry about that, darling. Everything is almost done, even the wedding posters." Greed unrolls a sheet of paper and shows Joy.
"What a terribly made poster." Joy said. The poster was really just two stick figures holding hands and the words 'Joy & Greed' scribbled on top with crayon.
"It's fine with me. It'll be..." Greed said when suddenly the door slammed open.
"YOU-" The alchemist said as he pointed at Greed. "GIVE ME BACK MY HAMMER!" "I don't have your hammer." "OH YEAH, THEN HOW DID YOU NAIL THIS TERRIBLE POSTER ON MY WALL?"
"Told you it was terrible." Joy said.
Hilarious!!! XD The terribly drawn poster. XD I agree with the filthy greedy boy and the ball gowns are hard to move in sentiment. Well done Zach!
"Shut up," Greed snapped at her. "No, she's right," Envy chuckled wryly. "I've seen four-year-olds draw better than that." "GIVE ME MY HAMMER!" the alchemist demanded again. "I'm telling you," Greed retorted through clenched teeth, seething. "I don't have your stupid hammer!" The alchemist scowled. "I know it was you! One of the workers saw you use it to put up those posters!" "Since when have I ever done manual labor like that myself?!" Greed threw his hands in the air, exasperated. "I had the servants do that! If you have a problem, take it up with them!" The older man looked as if he wanted to argue, but instead he snorted and stormed off. The heavy doors slammed behind him. "Stupid oaf," Greed said, rolling his eyes. Takes one to know one, Joy thought to herself. She bit back a smile. "Is she ready yet?" Greed demanded to his sister. "I want--" "Hands off, Romeo," Envy retorted, rolling her eyes. She came up behind Joy and tightened the straps holding her bodice together. "I'm nearly done here, but Father wants to see her first." "What for?" Greed asked. His eyes flitted back to Joy in a way that made her want to slap him. "He wants to know how she found this place--and who led her here." Envy tightened the straps with a harsh jerk. "He seems pretty steamed about it." Joy's mouth went dry.

Though it was exhausted, Temptation urged his horse to fly like the wind toward the quarry. Froth flew from the animal's mouth as it ran, and it heaved for breath. By the cover of the trees by the road--so that he wouldn't be spotted--he rode swiftly away from the estate, soon arriving at the secret plateau where the slaves were mining. He didn't know how much time he had until someone realized what had happened and went after him. He had to work quickly and quietly. He tied the exhausted horse to a tree within the cover of the forest before venting out into the open. Walking casually in his disguise, he nodded at the few guards standing at the front together. One of them gave him a curious look and called; "What are you doing here? It's not your shift yet!" "I heard someone had set the barn on fire back there!" he replied.
Temptation ran back down the tower, and on his way, he noticed something he didn't see before, a wedding poster for Joy and Greed nailed on the wall.
