This... isn't Briggs. [And here, have a canon Edward from about after Kimbley stabbed him at Briggs; the two guys went off to grab rations and stuff, but Ed didn't want to just hang around and wait for them. He's bleeding profusely, but conscious, and wincing with every step he takes.]

First aid, anyone?

[hahaha, here's an Ed from chapter 80-something. HE REMEMBERS THIS.]

...Kimblee, right?

[inequivalent]

... Yeah. [just eyeing him cautiously.]

... You a hallucination?

[upyourscolonel]

I remember that. And after that I was with Lionking and Donkey Kong for a while.

Nope, I'm you. Hi me. Your ass needs a doctor.

[inequivalent]

[Okay, he really can't be bothered to find out why there's a clone or if he's dreaming, he just drops his head again.]

Yeah I know. But I don't know where the doctor's is, and it hurts like a bitch to move.

They went to get food, but they've been gone way too long, so I went to get some on my own. Still haven't found food.

[upyourscolonel]

You won't be finding them. If you're here, you're stuck here for good. Welcome to Fake Central. Whoever named this town is fucking brilliant, huh?

I'll take you to the hospital.

[inequivalent]

Fake Central. [he frowns momentarily at what that implies, but then shakes the thought off] ... You can't be stuck here forever. If you get in, you can get out.

Thanks. [getting up slowly]

[upyourscolonel]

Tch, that's what I keep telling myself too, but no matter how much I try, I still haven't been able to find a way out of this dump.

[I SHALL BE A CRUTCH FOR THIS OTHER ED. Aren't I nice.]

Eh, don't mention it. I know you're in fucking awful shape right now. Same thing happened to me a couple months ago. Sucks, don't it?

[inequivalent]

... Wait, so how long have you been here? [appreciates the help, thank you very much.]

Sure sucks. Sucked even more at first when they pulled the thing out. I'm going to get Kimbley when I see him again, the fucker.

[upyourscolonel]

It's been a few months, now. The last thing I remember before showing up here is talking to Hohenheim about some crazy shit. [d'awwww <3]

Oh God, don't remind me. Cheating bastard and his goddamn Philosopher's stone. I'm gonna cram my boot right up his ass.

[inequivalent]

[makes a face at the mention of Hoenheim] What were you talking to the bastard about exactly?

And then shove him into a pot of acid and severe his hands.

[upyourscolonel]

He. Told me why he left. Among other things.

I was thinking more along the lines of transmuting him inside out and letting rats feed on his entrails.

[inequivalent]

Yeah? So why'd he just leave like that?

... You're good at this. I'm not even sure what I want to do exactly, as long as he's in for some serious shit.

[upyourscolonel]

Somethin' about being the Philosopher's stone and how he's half the cause of the downfall of Xerxes or something. And he left to find a "cure" or whatever. Complicated shit.

Well, I've had a bit more time to think on it then you have.

[inequivalent]

[Blink.] Shit. You're shitting me, he's the Philosopher's Stone? And he brought down Xerxes?

Point. But that was a good idea.

[upyourscolonel]

He didn't, it was that old Hohenheim clone under Central. The guy the homunculi call 'Father'.

I have a lot of good ideas, actually.

[inequivalent]

So he brought down Xerxes. And Gluttony ate the array. That explains a bit.

Not going to argue with that. Are we nearing the hospital yet?
