First Transmutation - Not Quite What I had in Mind....

[edachu]

[Edward Elric blinked in the bright sunlight. He certainly hadn't been expecting that. One second being stuck in some unknown black abyss with a literal sea of blood, and the next being in a beautiful, quiet, sun-lit garden. Ed looked back down at the little badge he had picked up.]

I wonder if-

...

WHAT THE HELL?!

[Ed flings the badge in

[Tsuna cast Ed an alarmed look and decided talking from where he was was probably the best idea]

I-It's not a dream! [he's about to ask 'are you okay?' but that's a stupid question. The growlithe edges a little closer] I-I know this all is really strange but um...it seems like we're all stuck in these strange forms for now.

[edachu]

[How many people here have turned into these stuffed animals gone horribly wrong?!]

Yeah, I'm getting that. [Ed gives up trying to walk for now. He now spots the long ears he has and glares at them.]

Where are we? You haven't seen a large walking suit of armor or a really annoying prince anywhere, have you?

[reluctant10th]

W-We're in a town called New Shaleton. I'm not sure where it is though.

[Tsuna shakes his head]

I-I can't say I have. Sorry.

[edachu]

New Shaleton, huh? I never heard of it.

[Ed looks back down at his hands and huffs before looking back up.]

Please tell me you're supposed to be a human too.

[reluctant10th]

It's new, I think, according to the bulletin board.

[he nods, looking sheepish]

And yeah, I am. Most here are.

[edachu]

.....

Then there should be someone who knows what's going on. [Ed slowly picks himself up and turns to the town in the distance.]

Maybe we'll find out something there.

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna shakes his head]

The townspeople don't know much more than us. They'll probably know what you've been turned into but none of them know how this happened.

[edachu]

Wonderful.

...

Well, there has to be something in town that can help us. Even if it's just a place to stay until we figure something out.

[Ok, One step...two steps...Why did he have to turn into something that made walking so difficult?]

[reluctant10th]

[Tsuna will just follow as best as he can. Hey, at least Ed had two legs]

Mm. I think they said something about houses we could stay in until they helped figure things out.

[edachu]

[Ok. If Ed kept going at this pace, he might make it to town by next week. Maybe...walking on all fours would help? He's feel stupid but he'd at least be more stable. He tried it.]

Of course it's easier to walk like this. [Now he could move at a reasonable speed. At least for now.]

Who's 'they?'

[reluctant10th]

[plodding along]

Umm--the guild leaders? That's what they called themselves. They said that they'd explain a bit about their town at the Harvest Festival.

[edachu]

I guess we'll have to check in with them then.

....

I'm Ed, by the way.

[reluctant10th]

Y-yeah.

[nodding. Smiles]

I'm Tsuna. It's nice to meet you.
