[The week had passed with a certain degree of... something surreal, fake, imaginary. Edward can remember the white room, the gate, but most of all, the emptiness of it all. No Truth, no second gate, no Al. He'd been completely alone. And even his own body had felt as fake as the seemingly endless room; it was detached, uncomfortable. As if- as if ( Read more... )

!ling, !hughes, dammit, !amy pond, !alphonse, just in time to miss the mechanic, [voice], !sokka, oh god what did they do to al, such bad timing, !keimi, !paprika, !hiccup, [action], yet another failed transmutation

Actually... Winry isn't here, Ed. The Malnosso... they took her the other day.

...Yeah, I heard.

[Cursing quietly under his breath, Edward doesn't respond with more than that at first, mulling it over. If Winry's not here - bastards, those bastards - then he needs a mechanic. There's no way in hell he's going to sit around in a hospital like a complete invalid while he waits around in the hopes that she'll come back. Not when he could be looking into ways of forcing them to bring her back.

Oh, wait, this is Sokka-]

Hey, can you come to the clinic?

Er... possibly, I guess? Maybe. Why?

[If it's an automail problem, Sokka doesn't think he can fix it. Sure, he's looked at Winry's blueprints, but he couldn't fix much more than cosmetic damage.]

I need a wrench. The nerves aren't connected, so I can't use my automail.

I can get a wrench, but don't you need someone to help you?

You've already helped with it once, so can't you just do it again?

[Duh, Sokka. Why else would he ask you?]

I... guess I could, yeah. Sure. If that's what you want. [He just figured Ed would want a pro.]

I don't have a choice, do I? It's not like we have any way of knowing when she'll be back.

[Much as he hates the idea of a) having an amateur meddle with his limbs and b) Winry being gone for a long time, he can't just sit around and do nothing.]

Fair enough. Okay, fine. I'll be right over. Just... let me grab the wrench. [And blueprints. JUST IN CASE.]

[Voice] truthget July 12 2011, 18:42:00 UTC
Right, thanks. [And Ed'll just be waiting. Yep.]

[AND THUS HE ARRIVED, KNOCKING ON THE DOOR.]

Coming in... unless you have any objections.

No, go ahead. [He's getting a little impatient, though that isn't Sokka's fault. He just hates being left so immobile.]

[Okay! So... Sokka is just going to sit next to Ed and try not to make this weird.]

I'll um. Try not to touch any... you know, not-metal bits.

[This is weird, having a nervous mechanic. Edward just shrugs, tugging aside the bed's blanket and awkwardly lifting his immobile arm to lie flat in front of him.]

You shouldn't have to. If you at least get my arm connected, I can do the leg myself.

[At least, he's pretty sure he can.]

You sure about that? It seems like it was, well... painful.

[Saying that, Sokka gets the wrench ready to turn.] Ready?

[Action] truthget July 13 2011, 02:40:41 UTC
It'll hurt no matter who connects the nerves. Just do it.

[And he takes a deep breath, watching for the twist so he's not surprised by it.]
