01 // Video [Side Selim]
[The video opens up on what looks to be a kid. No more than ten years old, who looks lost, and very, very confused. Those from his homeworld might know him as Selim, or Pride, depending on who you are. Either way, the confusion is genuine, even if who he says he is isn't.] I still don't get it. Everyone's been really nice so far and one kind lady

This is one of the very last things she would ever have hoped to see happen. She contemplates saying nothing and trying to hide from him but she knows almost as soon as she thinks of it that it will be futile. There would be no way to hide herself from him for long, so it was best, most practical, to have out with it now.]
Selim. There is no way back to Amestris.

Time to act.]
W-What? But ... [Have a face crumple.] H-Have I been kidnapped? Father won't be happy at all. Or...
[And now he's looking at the screen, 'scared and frightened.', but if one looks closely, there's a tiny shifting of the shadows.] Did you do something? But why...? What have I ever done? [Face crumple. Hi. Maybe we can guilt trip y/n?]

I didn't do this. I'm stuck here the same as you and neither of us have been kidnapped.
[She's bracing for it. What she knows about him is a danger to him so she also knows that he will try to manipulate her. But he'll have to do much better than a guilt trip.]

[Pause. He'll get to threats in a bit. He needs information first.]
Colonel Mustang can't have done anything... Wrath had his hands pinned... And you didn't appear to be any shape to do much either. So...

[She turns on video, bringing up the image of one blond girl with shiny, kind of unnatural silver eyes. She appears to be in her mid-teens.]
Someone should come and get you! Or... at least get you-- are you still in the complex? Are you at least safe?

Yea. I'm safe. Yea. Near it, but not in my room, It's so weird here. Not like home. [He grins though. A kinda happy, easy going grin. No trace of who he really is.] But everyone's really nice and helpful... But they don't who my father is. [SCOWL!]

Do you... need help?

Umm... someone's coming, but I wouldn't mind more information on this place. It's so strange and weird that I really wanna know more, Miss.

Teresa. There's no need to call me miss.
I can tell you what I know, but I'm afraid knowing more doesn't make it any less strange. The city you're in is called Anatole, and it's the only safe haven from the mist that surrounds it. I suggest you don't wander off into it. It's dangerous, or so I hear.
You may as well find a place to make yourself comfortable, if you can.

Oh. Is this mist like... really dangerous and stuff?
I'll try to. But it's weird here.

So your father didn't follow you through?
[She's glad. Because she doesn't feel like dealing with Pride. (Oh the irony) But this is a child, and he looks as if he might cry. Fortunately, as she is debating whether or not to care (or if she already might), Priscilla and (WAIT WHAT. HOLY SHIT IS THAT ...QUATRE?!) have shown up to step in and help.]

C-Can you make this private, please?

Alright.
[Perhaps this is going to be interesting.]

I'm surprised you're here. Are any of the others?
