Now that I’ve been in Econtra for a little while, I’ve got to say this place is great. No, seriously. What with the killer aliens who like to possess people, impending war, and a big Wall of Doom I can see this place becoming the destination hotspot once word gets out. Oh, yeah. I’m totally buying property here.
*sigh*
And then there is the whole multiple, parallel universes thing I have to wrap my head around. It turns out I don’t have brother here; I have a sister. Confusing? A little. Not that I’m complaining about that, though. Alice is really cool, and I’m glad to have met her.
What’s creeping me out is the idea of multiple versions of myself running around here at one point or another. (I know there’s a snarky comment ready to be made about that - don’t you dare say it, Ling.) There are most likely some people I don’t know who will recognize me because they knew one of the other Edward Elrics. In a way they will know me because 10 to 1 those other Eds and I share some common background, and I have no control over that! I have no idea how much the other Eds and I are alike, to what degree our pasts are the same, and whether or not their memories, my memories too. In a way, it feels like a loss if identity or an invasion of privacy. Is it weird to think that?
One thing I can say for sure is that I am not going to let Econtra get the best of me, not the multiple-versions thing, not the threat of attacks. I’m going to focus on staying alive and finding a way for us to get the hell out of here.
