...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.

Another Edward...if I see so many of them my imagination might start to get ahead of itself...

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))

[...stares for a good ten seconds before coughing abruptly.]

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.

...

[continues staring unabashedly. what the hell, she looks like his brother. with boobs.]

*Noting the staring, Alfons flushes a bit, but still keeps her face even.*

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?

That doesn't even make sense, Miss Alfons. Another Central? Parallel worlds? That is insane.

[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.

It's true that it doesn't make sense, but it's much better than some of the other theories people have been spouting. One Edward had accused my Edward--ah, the Edward I know--of even stealing his face, or being a homunculus in disguise. Someone else said transfiguration...

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...

...I see. Envy, perhaps, but not too many of him in here... I wish there was a scientific explanation too, but I will have to take whatever explanation I get.

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.]

...So you know of Envy, too...one of the other Edwards also accused the Edward from my world of that, too. He said he was a homunculus, though I'm not too familiar with that term, or what it could be.

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.*

*walks pointedly up to Alfons, studying this 'new' Ed suspiciously*

Alfons? You okay?

gotothestars June 11 2008, 21:32:38 UTC
Edward!

*Alfons looks towards the new Edward, surprised face melting into a soft smile.*

I'm fine, thank you.

chibiningen June 11 2008, 21:47:29 UTC
*half-reaches out to brush a stray strand of hair from her eyes, then retracts his hand, embarassed*

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

gotothestars June 11 2008, 22:11:09 UTC
That sounds like a good idea. Then maybe we might be able to find a way out if we work together...

*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.

gotothestars June 12 2008, 00:48:30 UTC
A-Ah...P-Pardon me. I'm sorry.

lmao she's so cute ^^, corrupted_steel June 12 2008, 00:51:45 UTC
What are you apologizing for?

Alfons is very modest. XD And she's worried that she upset him. gotothestars June 12 2008, 00:56:52 UTC
N-No, I mean...

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

corrupted_steel June 12 2008, 01:02:35 UTC
What. Why should I be upset over that? I may be Edward but it doesn't mean that I think in the same way as every Edward you meet.

[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.
