...Whoops.

[The boy stands in his room, eying the wall in front of him which currently bears the mark of a brief spark of frustration. There's a telltale fist mark in the otherwise blank surface

Well, that looked interesting.

[Aw great, another one. He is really...getting annoyed with this technology thing. It's like it has a mind of it's own sometimes.]

Er... Yeah. Guess you could call it that.

[noble5]

What was that? Some sort of regeneration tech? Or is it that Force thing I've heard a lot about?

[unerase_this]

Alchemy, actually. Although from what I've heard, the things we can do from back home get reintegrated into...Force-terms.

[noble5]

So does that mean my augments... [That bit is mumbled, there]

Alchemy, huh? I remember hearing about that. Where I come from, it was the beginning of all science, turning lead into gold and stuff.

[unerase_this]

[He arches a brow at that.]

...ah, well yeah, that seems to be what most people relate it to when they hear the word.

[noble5]

But, for you, it's different, right? I saw what you did with that wall.

[A pause] Can you do that lead to gold stuff?

[unerase_this]

Not entirely. Alchemy's still a science. The execution is probably the main thing that's different between my world and whatever everyone else is familiar with.

...it's possible, but it's also kind of illegal.

[noble5]

I can bet. Economies crashing, stuff like that.

I wasn't much one for science, or history or anything like that, but I know what a bunch of unregulated tender entering the system would do.

[Jorge, despite his appearance, is a pretty smart guy, after all.]

[unerase_this]

[Edward smirks a bit in spite of himself.]

Exactly. Our country has enough problems without having to worry about that as it is.

...but that's neither now nor here, I guess. Anyway, the elements and minerals here aren't quite the same as what I'm familiar with. Wouldn't be able to transmute any gold if I wanted to.

[noble5]

Another person who's come from a load of trouble back home. I was starting to think I was the only one.

[unerase_this]

I'd envy anyone that came from somewhere that wasn't, and feel sorry that they had to be brought to this mess.

So you been here long?

[noble5]

Just a few days, that's all.

This place is a bit less... explode-y than where I'm from.

[unerase_this]

Huh. That's not long at all, then. Although it could seem like it, I guess.

You get pulled out of a warfront or something?

[noble5]

My life is a warfront.

I have to be grateful. I suppose I'd be dead by now if I wasn't here.

[He clears his throat, forgetting something.]

I'm Cheif Warr... [A pause] Jorge. Call me Jorge.

[unerase_this]

Well, guess at least you're set for whatever comes up here.

...oh yeah? I've heard about that. I also hear that people don't die around here... [Which doesn't sit right with him.]

[He blinks. Right, introductions.]

Jorge, got it. Name's Edward Elric.
