[At first the video swings across Al's armor... well, except, the eyes aren't lit up anymore. Usually that means he's dead. But, no, Al's voice comes through the communicator! Actually, it's just chattering teeth accompanied by laughter.]

F-figures th-this would happen during fall!

[Despite the complaints, he pretty much sounds on the verge of tears ( Read more... )

Al--

priceoftruth October 6 2009, 00:20:54 UTC

You--

priceoftruth October 6 2009, 00:22:00 UTC

[...hjkgd coherency, what is that?]

priceoftruth October 6 2009, 00:22:33 UTC

DONE priceoftruth October 6 2009, 00:24:40 UTC

I'll-- Hell, I should've figured you'd be-- [can't talk, totally dumbstruck oh my god] Where are you?!

steelbloodseal October 6 2009, 00:31:21 UTC

Brother! Um... th-the living room a-at Marshall? Do we have s-spare blankets anywhere?

priceoftruth October 6 2009, 00:34:35 UTC

Yeah, we-- In the-- ...give me a minute. [Can't talk and run at the same time BRB BREAKNECK SPEED, TO THE LIVING ROOM ~~~/o/]

[AL'S JUST KINDA IN A HUDDLE AROUND HIS ARMOR. PLEASE BRING ME BLANKETS, BROTHER. IT'S NOT FUN TO BE NAKED IN OCTOBER.]

[--Woah hello there naked brother. Just a second.

Ed goes to grab some of his clothes and then returns, hoping to whatever deity that might exist that they're not too small. He'd just die. Also. That hand that he's using to hand you those clothes? It's totally not automail anymore. OHO.]

Hey-- ...Here.

steelbloodseal October 6 2009, 01:58:23 UTC

Th-thanks.

[Al does the awkward "I am trying to get dressed while still maintaining some modesty" shuffle. You know know that shuffle. Everyone has tried to get dressed without flashing someone at some point. Unfortunately for you, Ed, the clothes are a bit too small. But hell, they fit good enough.

Al wobbles to his feet. Worst part? He's still taller than you. But really he could care less about that at this point. Al doesn't really know what to say, so he just laughs. This is probably the best moment ever.]

priceoftruth October 6 2009, 02:07:02 UTC

...Yeah.

[Fuck, he really is taller. What the hell.

He stares for a minute, completely at a loss for what to say, completely unsure of how this even happened. Even if he's taller, whatever the circumstances, whatever the reason--]

Al...

[Al grabs Ed's right hand, lifting it up to touch the side of Al's face.]

I-I'm warm this time! I don't feel dead, it's real, I can feel your hand-- y-you're hand!

[He laughs again. It's taking all of his will to hold himself together at the moment. Any moment he could wake up from this living dream and he'd back in the armor, or worse. He takes a shaky breath, almost ready to ask what was traded or how long Ed would think this would last, but he doesn't want to focus on that. He's a bit too busy being alive. Speaking of which...]

...I'm hungry.

priceoftruth October 8 2009, 04:31:58 UTC

[The sense of touch in his right hand is foreign; the ease of movement, the lightness of the limb... But feeling, touching, sensing, is particularly strange, just as strange as being able to see and touch his brother's face. Really, this time.]

...Yeah. You are.

[At first he feels strangely...numb. Dumbstruck, maybe, and confused, and guilty. Had their mother been traded for this? Equivalent exchange. Maybe that was it. But that didn't make sense at all, did it ( ... )

steelbloodseal October 8 2009, 05:32:42 UTC

[If he wasn't so overwhelmed with... well, everything, he might share his brother's questions about their mother. He's willing to be a little selfish though and forget about equivalent exchange for once. Sure, he'll feel bad about it later, but at the moment his whole body is screaming "FEED ME." It's a bit hard to focus on the concepts of science and reality when you haven't had real food in years.

Al bends down a little, leaning into Ed's hand. Ed might feel like a kid at Christmas, but Al is the kid who met Santa Claus and had adventures saving Christmas. Yes, he is THAT excited. He's practically shaking with it. Or maybe it's the lack of body fat, who knows.]

I want to try chicken first! Or maybe tomatoes, I always liked those, or maybe both, can I have both?!

priceoftruth October 8 2009, 06:12:00 UTC

[Well. This is Ed. He finds any way possible to brood over things.

But Alphonse's enthusiasm is catching, and Ed can't help a grin at the question; even if none of this makes sense and even less of it is right. It's what they wanted. What they've hoped for for how long? Years. Five, closing on six, maybe. Even if it doesn't last, even if it doesn't make sense...

He'll set aside questions and doubts for later. Al deserves that much, at least.]

Heh -- if we've got it, hell, why not.

[To the kitchen! /o/]
