Alphonse Elric

[When Al flips the feed on, he looks rather perturbed. He opens and closes his mouth several times, trying to find a way to start this whole thing a few times before silent ly shaking his head and turning the Gear around.]

[On the lawn of a certain rowdy house in Goldenrod sands a lone Golurk of unusual coloring. It is waiting patiently, and from behind the screen Al gives a signal. For a moment, everything is still...and then something starts rumbling. The Golurk shakes as if something is rattling around inside until--]

[Lifdoff.]

[The camera tracks it's slow progression up and over the house, rising like some ridiculous mecha out of an 80's anime, before Al whips the Gear back around to his incredibly distressed face.]

Why can it learn Fly?!

[It's been two weeks and he is still not over this.]

[The video comes on to Alphonse grinning widely and holding up a nice, sparkly new Fog Badge to the camera.]

I did it! I really did it, I got the badge! I mean, my team was way higher level than his, but still--!

[Behind Alphonse, a Liepard jumps up to put his paws on his trainer's shoulders and gives Al a lick on the cheek...then sneezes a glowing feather off his nose.]

Ah hah, Cecil, jeez! --oh, yeah, are these feathers falling anywhere else? They're all over town, and there's nothing in the sky that should be dropping them...at least that I can see.

[When the feed clicks on, it's pretty clear that Al has something of a predicament on his hands. Or, rather on his head, since there's a very happy little Munna latched onto the back of it.]

[He tilts his head to give a clearer view of his passenger before he speaks.]

Um, does anybody have any tips to getting these guys loose? I woke up with him on my head and he, uh...really doesn't want to move.

[The feed comes on to a...rather embarrassed Alphonse, with a pile of eggs sitting on the bed behind him. His Glameow is sniffing at them curiously, while Vaporeon lays on the pillow completely uninterested.]

Um...well, this is a little awkward, but I woke up this morning to find a bunch of eggs in my room! I wasn't trying to do any breeding but...well, I guess they decided to anyway. [Al casts a glance offscreen, then looks back with an awkward shrug.] If anyone wants to buy some, let me know? Um, there's Eevee, Cyndaquil, Meowth, and a Purrloin egg...I'll attach a list with how many there are of each. Um, thanks in advance!

[And with that he quickly turns the feed off to be horribly embarrassed forever. The promised list is attached to the message, however!]

[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!
