shiver me... anyway. )
He'd settled in, prepared for the long ride. A game of dice? Sure, why not? He brought some books to read, but this looks like a fun way to pass some time. His brother would probably kill him for gambling, but it would only be a few ivory...
Not long later, Alphonse is the proud winner of... A ghost maid? Is this the actual spirit of a once living-human being? A soul? Is it sentient? What makes it different than anyone else on this ship?]
"Except for the armor, what makes it different from ME?" he muttered quietly to himself.
[The ghost is a maid? Was it willing? Was this slavery? Would Alphonse need to pay it?
This "prize" brought a lot of questions, but he had time to think it over. It was a strange thing to win, and carried a lot of responsibility, like prize goldfish from a carnival. Now he had a ghost to take care of, and he though that it would be a lot more difficult than taking care of cats or rabbits. Maybe he could put it to work in the muffin shop...
His brother would have been right: Alphonse shouldn't have been gambling.
Enough of that! He'd nearly forgotten why he was on the ship in the first place. Someone was in danger, and he needed to help.]

I... She's a ghost. It.. doesn't make sense.
H-hi, Io. What are you doing here?
[He doesn't mean it rudely. It just seems a little odd to him.]

[She isn't.]
...or maybe I'd just like to live a little.
[That's more like it.]

So would the people on that island.

But. Wait. What was that thing and why were they sitting playing games when that broadcast--those people needed their help? Ed shakes his head after watching a while.]
Dammit....Al, we need to.... [To help them. If they can, he doesn't want another Nina, another person they could have saved but didn't. Ed can't let that happen, not again.]

Ed! I.. was just, I mean, it's a long ride and... My books were... I won a ghost maid!
[His shoulders sink and he gives up trying to explain.]
I know we have a lot to do when we get there. I'm worried about those people. I hope I... we can help.

[This is certainly someone Greed didn't expect to see on this ship. What with him having oh-so-nobly sacrificed himself back to the Gate in exchange for his brother's right arm and all.
...But time was weird here, wasn't it? So maybe that just hasn't happened ye--
And that's when Greed notices another thing. He's pretty sure the tin can wasn't copper the last time he saw him, either. He raps on the armor with the back of one hand and gives the boy something of a flat look.]
What, steel grow old on you or something?
