[Peers reeeally close to the screen, as if that'd help her hear the radio better]

[Entranced by the noise]

How'd you do that!?

I-I have no idea, I just... hit it and it started making these weird noises.

...Now you got 'ole cars comin' out of it! Can you make it do a train?

[Silence, followed by more thready muttering, but no trains. Sorry bb.]

I'm... not controlling it. I have no idea what it's picking up.

[Patiently accepts the lack of trainage]

It's picking up voices 'a some kind, obviously. And static, and some cars. Ain't you been listening?

[Glad for that. But have a foghorn.]

I know, but... from where?

[Admires the noise some more]

...somewhere they 'ave horns? Since if people from all over can get stuck here, why not some voices?

[The sound of Alphonse kinda shaking the radio a bit, and some small ows. Abused eardrums, hello.]

I-I guess... I wonder why we can't hear anything like that outside the radio?

...are you tryin' to shake more things out of it?

And I guess radios are good at picking up the things we miss?

The on and off switch keeps sticking...

... you think that's it? The things we're missing?

Y'said it's old, yes? Can't trust the old things.

...And why not? There's got to be all kinds of things we're not seeing. Or 'earing in this case, but things like radios are better at it than we are.

It is pretty old, but I've just fixed it. Maybe with a little bit more tinkering.

... you think so? Like certain soundwave frequencies?

[Voice] cornered_circle July 23 2009, 01:18:52 UTC
So you can fix things in normal ways too?

Dogs can pick up on things we can't. Same with other critters too - radio's kind of like that too, isn't it? Pickin' up things that are just floating around, waiting!

Uh-huh. Alchemy's quicker, but working with my hands is more satisfying.

Winry's dog Den used to do that. And my cats will stare at the stairs for hours sometimes, but I think that's just because they're cats.

... you really think so? I guess anything's possible.
