1st Transmutation | [video] Introductions
[Al had taken some time fumbling around with the Gear once he got out of that odd town, testing the buttons and managing to reason his way into making a video post--though he doesn't realize that it is transmitting video yet. Alphonse comes onto the screen sitting at the base of a tree, and actually seems relatively calm about all this. It isn't the first time he's been tossed into a strange new world, though at least the last time he'd meant to go there. Anyone that knows him might notice he seems a bit...young, though.]
Okay, I think it's recording...um, hello! I just got here, and I've read that little book, so I know what we're supposed to be here for, but...does anyone have any information as to how we were transported here? The only method I know to move between worlds like this doesn't...really seem to apply here.
[It looks like he would continue, but his Shinx takes that moment to pounce into his lap and headbutt under his chin--gently, though, and clearly just wanting attention.] Ah, jeez! It's barely been five minutes, can't I pay attention to something else for that long? --um, sorry, my Pokémon is being kind of needy...are they always like this? I know we're supposed to battle them, but this little guy is so much like a little kitten I can't see him fighting anything except his own tail! [And really, he's kind of offended by that concept in general. It's so cruel!!] Um, anyway, if anyone has any information I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

Yeah, two years. It really isn't so bad, this world is quite nice.
[Especially WHEN ED AND AL ARE AROUND, then again they haven't been around for most months of those two years... BUT THEY'RE HERE NOW!!]
... It's a really weird place, that can mix up with time however it wants. Even if you had seen me just about five minutes ago, I could have been here for five years or more, it just works that way here.
no subject
[He looks back up then, a shade of mingled hope and fear in his eyes. Edward has to have come though to this new world with him, he just...he can't be separated from him again, not after everything that he's gone through.] Is Brother here, too?
[and now this is going to be private between Al, Winry and Ed from now on]
[Winry goes speechless after the words about the other world through the Gate. What . . .? There -- there was no other world, Ed and Al would have told her about it after they started telling her everything. And the Ed who's been here since May would have known about some other world ... through the Gate?
...The question about Ed is much easier.] Yes, Ed is here.
I'm not.. sure where exactly at this second, but we're in the same inn, or at least same town.
[ ... Let's handwave instructions on how Al can make this private to the trio too, but at this point Winry would definitely give them because she's going to make this private right now.]
Al, what other world through the Gate are you talking about?
[private forever!!]
[Al frowns a little, tilting his head. Shit, had Ed explained where he'd been to Winry? That whole day was so chaotic, Al couldn't remember all the details.] Don't you remember? It...it's a mirror to our world, but there's no alchemy there. They advanced in physics and machinery instead, and Brother was stuck over there trying to find a way back. I managed to open the Gate to try and get him back, but... [Then that horrible army had come through, with the giant flying machines that had laid waste to Central. And it had been his fault, if he just hadn't been so blind--!]
[Wait, hadn't Winry said something about time being different?] What's the last thing you remember from back home?
[forever & eeever]
... that... that sounds crazy.] Ed would never... [leave either of them behind, nor had Ed ever been stuck in a world like that...
... The realization is slowly starting to kick in.]
I ... get back on that question soon.
Al, are you familiar with a man, who calls himself the Father of the homunculi?
[no one else can ever kno--okay i'll stop being silly now]
[Of course, then Winry just trows him the biggest curveball ever, and he stares in utter confusion. That...they don't have parents. And Dante only ever made them call her 'Master' that I know of. [Unless there's something especially creepy that went on with Envy and LA LA LA HE DOES NOT WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT LA LA LA]
no subject
. . . Oh. Ohhhhhhh. There's the first time for everything, right? Right now there's the first time for seeing Al from that other version of Amestris.
Winry stays quiet for a moment.]
Al, please don't think I'm insane, but -- that's -- [LONG PAUSE HERE.] I don't even know how to explain this, but there's another Amestris, where they have another so called master, who calls himself Father. But he isn't their real father, I don't think. Ed can explain it all to you. Or Greed, I think Ed explained everything to Greed. Or they can both tell stuff to you, I don't know. [She sure can't tell much!!]
...Me and Ed are from there, but there are some from the Amestris, where Dante exists.
no subject
[Al is quiet for a long moment, thinking it all over. Winry wouldn't lie to him, he knows that, and if that's what Brother said...he wouldn't have a reason to lie about that either. And besides, it's not like the idea of other worlds is foreign to him. He just...didn't expect one to be so similar and different at the same time, not like that.]
...I believe you, Winry. But I guess this means we have a lot more to catch up on, then! [He smiles at her--she's still his sister, no matter what world she's from. He just hopes Ed won't reject him for not being his.]
no subject
[She lets him think about everything, that she just said. There's no rush, it is a lot to take in and Winry's been in the same kind of situation too.
When Al finally speaks and smiles, Winry smiles at him too.]
Mmhmm, but there's nothing but time to catch up here! I'm really glad you're here, and Ed will probably rush out of the door to get to you as soon as he sees this... [Winry on the other hand? She's packing while she speaks.]
no subject
[Winry's assurance helps a little, but given that Al was about ten times dumber in his world about The Barry Incident, Al's probably gonna keep worrying until Ed's spoken with Al himself.] Hehe, when isn't Brother rushing off at top speed to do anything? --he hasn't broken his automail recently, has he? [Winry, please tell Al he hasn't been his usual dumb self, he doesn't want to clean up several months worth of messes.]
no subject
Oh geez, so he's the same idiot everywhere. [That's still a nice way of talking about your boyfriend, Winry.] It's good that there's us two to stop him from doing that now, I'm not sure if his head can take much more stopping from just me. [She's kidding, but also kind of half-serious - except Ed's head is made of
fullmetalsteel maybe.] Actually, it might be a new record, he hasn't broken it and it's been safe from metal eating Pokemon too, so ... I guess I'd be too optimistic if I was going to say that I'm not expecting something to happen to it sooner or later. But so far he hasn't dared to break it here.[... it helps that he only has the leg now, but she'll let Ed tell that to Al himself.]

...yeah, among other animals and ... others, who haven't been human before coming here. Sorry, it's all confusing at first, then you kind of just get used to the fact that things can be very random and weird here.
no subject
Well, it's not like we have much of a choice unless we wanna keep freaking out at things, right? I'll cope, it's just...a lot to keep in mind right now.
Where do you want to meet up? I'd like to go say hello to Scar; he said he's in Olivine. [Nope, no idea he just opened a can of worms right there.]
1/3
[Where do they want to meet up, that's a good question.]
Well, we're in Pewter right now, so the ferry would be the shorte--
[...Wait, what did he say after that? Yes, she listened to the end before she started talking. it's just that the words don't register into her mind until now...]
2/3
Why? Why would Al like to go say hello to Scar? Nope, she doesn't get it. At all. ]
no subject
OKAY, QUICK, THINK OF A PLAN B THEN. She's totally going to cover up that freezing by starting to ramble like she's not nervous at all or like that really isn't a can of worms at all!! See, no problem with the sudden mention of the name Scar here, not at all!]
Ummm... In that case, let's forget the ferry! We can come to Goldenrod, it's the biggest city in Johto. It's a long way from there to Olivine and New Bark, but if you walk to Cherrygrove while we're on the way there to meet up with you, it would make things faster.
