*Edward was sitting on a bench, head tilted back to stare skyward at nothing in particular. If anyone noticed him, they might think he was looking at the stars. He'd left while Roy was still at the inn to 'find a job' hours ago. In truth, Ed preferred not having a job, the inn was free, the food there was free, and it gave him more time to gather

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm still trying. I've got a reason to get back home. Knowing the things I do now...I'd be letting down a lot of people if I didn't try changing the way things went.

Don't worry. We'll find a way out.

[faithlesselric]

Way things went?

What happened that has you in such a rush? Not that... you shouldn't be- just that no one else seems to be.

Are they drugging the water or something? the longer we stay here the less anyone cares to get home? I still have a stone to find, damn it.

[failed_alchemy]

It's...someone I got to know, where I'm from. I think something terrible's going to happen to him, and I want to be able to prevent that.

...stone? You're still looking for the philosopher's stone?

[faithlesselric]

....... What makes you think that?

*He sighed at that question, not answering for a moment* Yeah. You're not?

[failed_alchemy]

I met a version of him here. It's just the way he acts... I know that something horrible happened. Even though I don't know what it is, I have to stop it.

We didn't have to search for it. It came to us. But...

*quiet* What's the last thing you remember before you came here?

[faithlesselric]

He won't tell you what happened?

Came to... What? How?

The last thing I remember? Well, the Colonel and I were arguing.. as usual. He's become even more of a nag than before, if you can believe that. All because some idiot filled his head with this idea like we're...

Nevermind.

Scar. In Lior.

He gave Al the philosopher's stone inside his arm...and Al became the stone.

[faithlesselric]

Al be-

How is that even possible-? When?

What happened after that?

[failed_alchemy]

Scar transferred the Stone into Al's armor using a giant transmutation circle.

...you probably don't even know what happened in Lior after Cornello was ousted, do you...
