1st Transmutation | [video] Introductions

[armoredsoul]

[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!

That's still scary...but you said the wild ones weren't that big?

[Maybe he won't be eaten in the middle of the night by a horrendously huge mantis thing...]

Beedrills are assholes but I've never actually seen one? I've just seen their unevolved forms in forests. They're called Weedles and they're kind of cute.

Huh. Maybe they only have the chance to get that big by pairing up with a human?

[Not that that makes a whole lot of sense, but then domestication wouldn't be a thing if animals didn't find an advantage in being with humans.]

Maybe. Either that or they're just well hidden. They really only show up in tall grass. It's kind of strange.
