[Video post, Ed found a new button!/Action post] So this is a virus...

[cyberelric]

[There's a bit of confused noise and it's dark except for a scrap of light. The hand that was covering the screen backs away and the room comes into focus.]

This doesn't make any sense.

[The camera pans around, there are two twin beds, a book shelf overflowing with books, discarded toys in the corner, and finally Edward faces the camera an odd,

[Something comes driving down the street near your house, something fast, black, and fairly loud. In fact, it's a motorcycle. Which stops, and go figure, the driver gets off the bike and takes off his helmet. For now he's mainly leaning against the bike and looking around, but you're free to approach him first if you'd like, or wait until he makes a move.]

[cyberelric]

[The noise draws Ed to the window and he blinks, staring at it. What the hell is that? It's loud and mechanical and he's weary of approaching first, especially with that contraption there. It could be a weapon of sorts. He steps back from the window, still looking out and holds his hands within each other. Just in case.]

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello places his helmet on the seat of his bike, unzips his jacket, and lazily makes his way towards the house. And shouts, because that's clearly the best way to tell you he isn't trying to sneak up on you. Oh, and you might recognize the voice.]

Ed? You still there?

[cyberelric]

[The voice does in fact ring a bell and he blinks a little, dropping his hands and opening the door. He can't help but stare at Mello for a moment. Perhaps not what he expected, at least if he was expecting anything at all.]

You must be Mello.

[And he smiles because Mello is perhaps every bit as interesting has he expected. He looks up at him and offers his hand.]

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello notices the staring but decides not to remark on it. Instead he nods an affirmative and takes the offered hand, a friendly almost-smile on his face.]

I saw your post and decided to look for your house. Have you had the chance to look around yet?

[cyberelric]

The house? As much as I've been able to manage. [Ed frowns just a little, he's not that fond of being in the house just then, not knowing there were places he just wouldn't go, assuming they were the same.]

I haven't gone out yet, but...looks like a lot of strange places. What did you bring with you? [He gestures to the bike.]

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello catches the frown regardless, knowing that not everybody will be happy and comfortable to be in their respective home. He half turns to give Ed a clear view at the contraption he had gotten here on.]

A motorcycle. I'm lucky it ended up here with me, makes getting around a lot easier.

[cyberelric]

Never seen one before. If Winry were here, she'd want to disassemble it. As it is, I'd rather see the plans. [Ed laughs and leans against the doorframe.]

Feel like coming in? I haven't made any food or anything yet but I could I guess. I'm adept at tea also.It's just water.

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello smirks at that.]

As it is I'm glad she's not here, I don't think I'd want her to take my stuff apart. [Then he nods.] Food sounds good, and so does tea.

[cyberelric]

Oh you'd have nothing to worry about she never forgets a single bolt's place. It's freaky. She's my mechanic.

[He pushes off the doorframe and lets Mello inside his childhood home. Tea is easy to start, but looking at the food selection he decides on stew, because his mother taught him that. Also it was easy.]

It's weird to look out these windows and see so much, I mean Risembool is nothing but hills and cows.

[gonnabe1st]

[Mello strolls in after him, drapes the jacket over the back of a chair, and looks around the room a little.]

That really must be strange. You should take a look around before the virus wears off, there are some really unusual places out there. [He looks over at Ed busying himself with preparing food.]
Can I help?

(....lol hockey game XD)

[cyberelric]

I will. [Ed grins at him and watches him make himself at home which he doesn't mind in the least.]

Hm, it's pretty easy, I mean, you basically cut up vegetables and meat and stick it in broth...anyway, if you want to help cut it up, you can. [He pulls out whatever seems to be stocked in the fridge, carrots, parsnip, potatoes...]

It's an awesome hockey game though!

[gonnabe1st]

[He nods and takes the few steps to the counter.] I think if both of us work on it it'll get done faster. [And with that, gets to work.]

I wouldn't have guessed we'd meet face to face because of a virus.

GO CANADA GO XD

[cyberelric]

I wasn't thinking we'd wind up meeting at all actually. Different worlds and all. [He looks thoughtful.] Although this definitely means travel between worlds is possible.

But it's definitely a pleasure. You can have a conversation with me on my level. How rare that is.

XD

[gonnabe1st]

Well, I already knew it was possible so I assumed I'd meet you eventually.

[He chuckles at that.] Unsurprisingly, I can relate. It's rarer than I'd like it to be. I knew a grand total of four people on my world who could, and two of those are dead.

HUGE win for us. <3 We needed it.

[cyberelric]

Have to remember I'm still pretty new to this whole thing, although the logistics..how on earth does this place exist? I mean this house shouldn't..it's exactly like I remember, except for the flag, which could be symbolic of my job I guess, because if I wasn't alone it might be pretty different. Since some people told me they aren't here alone, although that makes me wonder about Al since a lot of times he's reading with me...

[Ed trails off, he has a habit for tangents, especially in person where he can't think before he speaks.]

Dead...that's fucking miserable. So do you talk to the other two? My brother is really intelligent too, he'd be great for you to speak to. And I guess it's good we have each other I mean...maybe my dad might've been able to if he wasn't such a dick.
