Is this Central?

No way. I actually made it out of that place?

Hey, Al? Hawkeye? ...Russel? Any of you guys here?

((amatomnes Ed here! Yes, he has the collar around his neck, but it's not going to be choking him. Unless he tries to take it off.))

Nii-san? Are you ok?

...you mean the brown and grey world?

[onholyground]

You're here too, Al? Great!

...wait, I never told you about that.

[can_i_keep_it]

You didn't have to. I know! I... I kinda visited you there, remember?

...but then, you're probably not my nii-san, so... maybe you're me didn't.....

[onholyground]

What do you mean I'm not your... of course I'm your brother!

What are you talking about?

[can_i_keep_it]

*sad smile*

I... umm...

This place... there's about... ten of you here. And the same of me. Umm... some of us are in the armor, some of us are in our bodies. One of you is a suit of armor too.

...and.... you're the only one I've seen wearing a collar, nii-san. Where did you get that?

[onholyground]

...are you serious? Al, we weren't in Atia very long, it couldn't have messed with your head that badly.

Oh! This thing! *Tugs at it a little, then dingdingding idea!* Hey, this is Central! Alchemy works here, right, Al?

[can_i_keep_it]

....I don't know what Atia is......

...and of course alchemy works! See?
*claps, transmutes a small statue, like the hobbyhorse statues they made when they were tiny*

[onholyground]

...Okay, we can figure this out later. "This" including why the hell you were able to do that just now. For now, I'm getting this thing off.

*Claps his hands and grabs the collar, but nothing happens.*

What?!

[can_i_keep_it]

Do what, nii-san?

.........!!

Are you ok? It didn't rebound, did it?

[onholyground]

No, but nothing happened!

You got yours off, Al. Tell me how you did it.

[can_i_keep_it]

I've never had a collar.....

[onholyground]

But you did! And I wanted to wring that lady's neck for it...

You really don't remember?

[can_i_keep_it]

*sad smile* Like I said.... probably not your Alphonse....

I'm sorry.....

[onholyground]

...good. You don't need to know anything about that.

[can_i_keep_it]

But I.... you're not a dog, nii-san!

[onholyground]

Dog of the military, Al.
