Little red rider, ride on the railroad, and she goes....

[An image pops into view of Winry, sitting next to a dark haired woman. A window is behind the woman, with scenery speeding by outside. The image is jiggly, but not as nearly as full of static as Winry's previous attempts to communicate have been

Comments

voice || Yay!

[greeneye_demon]

Miss Winry?

voice || XD

[hands4healing]

[a short burst of static then]

Mr. Hakkai? Is that you?

voice || I failed at NaNo this time ;_;

[greeneye_demon]

It's been a while, hasn't it?

voice || This is my first time in five years of trying? *offers extra leftover words*

[hands4healing]

Yes! I'm glad to hear from you. [She does sound happy-er since the last time they'd spoken, definitely.]

[truthinfortune]

It seems as though your device is working properly now.

[Video - locked from Envy]

[hands4healing]

Naoto! Hello.

I think it's because I had assigned the same frequencies between the device you gave me and the one I'm using. As they were both in use, one was canceling the other out. I've done some modifications but this type of engineering isn't a specialty of mine.

[A slight pause.]

Thank you for bringing Ed to Dublith so we could talk. [Winry has no idea what or if Ed explained why he needed to get to Dublith, BTW, but figures she's going to be scolded for a long time about this, from various people; might as well start getting it over with.]

[truthinfortune]

Well, if it's still acting up, I could always take a look at it. But whatever you did to it appears to have fixed the problem for now.

...

What else could I do? After he told me what you were thinking about doing... It seemed like he was the only person who could talk you out of it. The bond between childhood friends is something I can't really compare to, after all.

[hands4healing]

I'm sorry I worried all of you. I never wanted that.

[material_guy]

Lookin' kinda worn down there.

[hands4healing]

Mr. Greed!

I am...a little. But I'm feeling better than I have in a while.

...and I want to apologize for my actions on your world.

[material_guy]

Damn right you wanna apologize. Things would've gone a lot smoother if you guys'd just cooperated instead of bein' so paranoid. I could be immortal right now.

[hands4healing]

I doubt the Elrics would've given you that information, anyway.

[hoboheim]

It's good to see that you're all right, Miss Winry. You had us all terribly worried there...

[hands4healing]

Yes, sir. Thank you for telling Ed what was going on. [And Al, she assumes, though he hasn't started yelling at her yet, so maybe he doesn't know?]

[hoboheim]

Edward would never forgive me if I intentionally let anything bad happen to you. He'd probably punch me with his automail arm...

[Ed yelled at him and said not to get Al involved... s-sob! It's probably better if Winry tells Al, anyway.

[hands4healing]

He...probably would, yes sir. [Or worse.]

[Oops. Well, Winry and Al are talking about it as if someone told Al.]

[crackpotcrocker]

[Presses against his own screen] Winry?!

If your 'device' finally functioning properly? Appears to be that way.

What are you all dressed up for?

[Voice/Video]

[hands4healing]

Mr. Crocker! How are you?

Yes! I think I've got it worked out, so I won't have all the static.

I'm trying not to be noticed.

[Voice/Video]

[crackpotcrocker]

Depressed. Dreary. Confused. Paranoid. The usual. But thanks for asking. The thought is appreciated [Weak smile before going back to the usual frown]

How about you? How have you been?

EXCELLENT [Slight spazz as his wig flies up into the air and spazzes] I was getting worried and frustrated with that. [Slight pause] You know I tired calling you. And ended up getting a man's voice instead.

Why's that? [Curious, raised brow]

[Voice/Video]

[hands4healing]

You're welcome!

[Hmm, how to answer that.] I'm better. I wasn't feeling very well recently.

You did? Mr. Hohenheim said someone tried to contact me, I think. I'm sorry if I worried you!

Because there are people looking for me.
