SIXTH

[beenkidnapped]

It's still weird, even after all I've seen, to look up at the sky and see the moons. I guess I was just expecting to have still been on Earth. It's slowly sinking in, though.

At least I can defend myself this time.

Heh, same here. I've been to plenty of different places, but all in my own world. It's weird thinking that I'm in a completely different one.

[beenkidnapped]

Yeah. I guess it was easier to accept people being from different worlds if I was still on my own. Gosh, it's just so weird to think about. But we're getting along relatively okay, and fending off the bad stuff little by little, so we'll be okay.

I'm Ashley.

[priceoftruth]

Really? I probably would've been more weirded out if I was still on my own world. At least people are optimistic about things here...makes everything a lot easier to take in.

I'm Edward.

[beenkidnapped]

If I was in my world, then I could still hold onto the hope that home wasn't far. Now, I don't know where it is. But yeah, the optimism really helps.

Nice to meet you, Edward.

[priceoftruth]

...Knowing you have a place to go back to. I guess it's pretty important, huh?

Likewise Ashley.

[beenkidnapped]

Yeah, especially since I was taken from it. All I've wanted for a long time now is to get home and see my dad, but I don't know if that's really in the cards anymore.

[priceoftruth]

Hey, don't give up! You'd be surprised how many impossible things aren't as impossible when you keep trying.

[beenkidnapped]

Yeah, I know. With people leaving at random, maybe I'll be the next to go home, or maybe Dad'll show up here. In the meantime, once you get past the doom and gloom, it's really not that bad.

[priceoftruth]

Okay. Who knows, maybe we'll all find a way out of here too.

[beenkidnapped]

That would be great, wouldn't it? Some really smart people have been showing up, so who knows!

[priceoftruth]

Yep! We'll figure something out!

[beenkidnapped]

You're new, right? Have you found a place to stay yet?

[priceoftruth]

Oh! Yeah. My brother's letting me share his room in the Marshall Street building.

[beenkidnapped]

Your brother's here? That's great! The Marshall apartments have a lot of people, so it's safe there. Glad you're not fending for yourself in the streets or anything.

[priceoftruth]

Yeah - I guess I'm pretty lucky, in that regard. I wasn't doing too badly taking care of myself, even without alchemy, but fighting so much does get tiring. And I don't know if I can get my automail fixed if it breaks...so I guess I should take it easy.

Thanks for the concern, though.
