[Alfred's golem is currently resting on his shoulder, and this time it's his fault it's recording. He accidentally turned on the video feed. Right now, he is leaning against a wall on his bed, according to the angle the golem is recording at. In Alfred's hand is John F. Kennedy's coat of arms, an old pin he hangs onto. In his lap are a faded ( Read more... )

I'll assume you don't realise this is recording?

[He jumps, almost knocking everything down. Alfred chuckles nervously.]

...No, not really.... This is embarrassing!

[Just smiles slightly at the reaction. She's use to it after all]

It's not uncommon for them to start recording on their own. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Yeah, it's already recorded me singing and dancing already.... But I think this time it's my fault 'cause I remember patting it before I got all this out.

I'm Alfred Jones! Nice to meet you!

This time could have been worse then.

Trisha Elric, likewise. You're fairly new around here, aren't you?

True! But at least it's somethin' harmless. Looking at these just makes me feel a bit nostalgic.

Yeah! This'll be my second week here!

What are they, if you don't mind me asking?

How are you adapting?

Mementos of people from my home. My Russian friend loved sunflowers. I have a brother living in Canada, and a friend in France. My British friend has a thing for Celtic and British myths and folklore. And this coat of arms is just...a reminder of someone very important to me who died many years ago.

Pretty well! This place is almost like my home back in the late 1800's, though sometimes it makes me a little homesick.

You seem to have known a lot of people. I'm sorry to hear about your friend though... [Just kinda trails off not quite knowing what else to say]

I suppose homesickness is a natural reaction, at least meeting new people is never a bad thing.

I do! At least one from every country, but I'm only close to some! ...Nah, don't worry about it. It's been long enough for me to at least not feel as much pain as before. [He grins cheerfully.]

I've met so many nice and wonderful people, it's amazing! What about you, Trisha?

Everyone I've gotten to know seems very friendly. Arriving here was shocking at first, but I've gotten use to it.

That's great! What was your home like, if you don't mind me asking?

I lived in the countryside, so it was generally quieter than it is here. It makes a nice change though.

Countryside? I've been in a big city for so long that a trip outside that kinda setting is refreshing. This is a lot smaller than what I'm used to, so I guess I kinda feel a little antsy.

A lot of us kept getting lost when we first arrived because the Order was such a large building. There were some funny experiences.

Wow, really? It kinda reminds me of the Empire State Building, which is one of the tallest skyscrapers ever made!
