...kind of lost. The General will murder me for missing the train...

...Can anyone tell me where I am? [holds up state alchemist watch] I'm Lieutenant Colonel Edward Elric. Any and all pertinent information will be rewarded accordingly.

I think you're in a City called Central. That's what everyone around here's been saying. Myself, I'm Alfons Heiderich. It's a pleasure to meet you.
((I'll have to admit, poor Girl!Hei's a bit freaked out by the...the PROFESSIONAL Ed that she's seeing here))

Another...Edward?
This isn't quite like the Central I know, for one thing, it's much too...quiet. A pleasure to meet you too, Alfons.

Yes. As far as I can gather, different versions of various people from different worlds have all gathered in one spot...though for what reason, I'm not too sure. The most I can think of is that it's a rip in time and space...maybe a dimensional rift was opened that caused all of us, from parallel dimensions (which would explain why we were all the same people, just with different faces and different lives and abilities)...it's still a farfetched theory, but...
That is true. It's probably Central, but another Central...

I'm not making much sense, am I?
A-And ah...
*She shifts uncomfortably, twisting some of her shoulderblade-length hair between one of her fingers. This staring was making her horribly nervous.*
I-Is there something on my face?

[blinks twice before realizing she's talking to him again]
You. You just...you look like someone I know. But I've never met you before. And. Uh. There is nothing, uh, wrong with your face, I mean - not that I meant that -
...
...you're okay.

I'd like to think that there's a scientific explanation for all this instead of just a bunch of half-baked arguments and childish squabbling.
...
Oh...
Your...brother, right? That's what the Edwards I've seen have often said to me anyway. That I look like their brother, Alphonse. But that's almost absurd. The Alphonse I know is a girl. I'm starting to wonder if maybe the versions of others from my world is an anomaly instead of a...

I'm...I'm sorry. I've said too much...

That would be correct. Maybe in your...uh, universe, Alphonse is a girl. Wait. Am...am I a girl in your universe? That's surreal.
[studiously ignores last statement but steps closer to Alfons.]

There is a scientific explanation for all this. THere has to be. When I figure out what it is, I'll do my best to help everyone get home.
...I see...but no, no! You're very much a man in my Universe!
*Alfons stills her tongue before she can mention the 'he's my lover' part--judging from the last Edward and the last Winry she spoke to, that didn't seem like it would create too good of a reaction with this Edward. He was already freaked out by her appearance as it was.*

Alfons? You okay?
Reply
*Alfons looks towards the new Edward, surprised face melting into a soft smile.*
I'm fine, thank you.

Uh... I was wondering if you wanted to go find the other Ed- I mean one of them- in the library? If we could find a way out of this dump...
Reply
*Alfons takes his retracted hand and kisses the end of it affectionately, squeezing it*
Ah...
*She turns to the other Ed, the new Ed, and then looks towards her Ed, only to look towards the other Ed again*
Lieutenant Colonel Edward Elric, sir? This is the Edward from my Universe, Edward Elric. Ah...
It was a pleasure meeting you sir, but...

[just...stares for a very long moment, before composing himself]
It's quite all right, Miss Alfons. I should leave you and your lover alone, excuse me.

Oh Gosh, I shouldn't have done that in public!
I hope I didn't upset you. I-I mean...the last Edward I spoke to said it was strange that Edward and I were lovers, so...I had thought not to offend, but...
Reply
[snorts derisively] Of course, it's kind of...surreal that any version of me would find a lover, but to each his own, I guess.
