Is this Central?

No way. I actually made it out of that place?

Hey, Al? Hawkeye? ...Russel? Any of you guys here?

((amatomnes Ed here! Yes, he has the collar around his neck, but it's not going to be choking him. Unless he tries to take it off.))

It's definitely a Central, though I don't think it's the one you want.

[onholyground]

In that city, alchemy didn't work. And trust me, that was the first thing I tried when I got here. Didn't work.

[ambergoldeyes]

Well, there's got to be some way to get it off. How'd they get it on you in the first place?

[onholyground]

Hell if I know. I woke up with it there.

[ambergoldeyes]

...There any way to figure out how the hell it works?

[onholyground]

Now that I'm in a place with actually decent materials, if it starts to tighten I might be able to figure out the mechanism, yeah.

[ambergoldeyes]

That makes sense... Could help that there must be at least 50 Winrys around here that you could probably convince to help you one way or another.

[onholyground]

If anyone can figure this thing out it's her. *Tugging at it some more dammit*

[ambergoldeyes]

Exactly. *peers at it more carefully* Hmm... If you could at least figure out if it's normal technology as opposed to- magic or whatever, that'd be something...

[onholyground]

Magic isn't real, dammit.

It's probably radio-controlled. I figure they've got cameras around the city to make sure we're having sex with each other. Which means I should be fine here. Hypothetically, anyway.

[ambergoldeyes]

Ah- Yeah, I used to think that too.

....Clearly wherever you came from was run by a bunch of sick perverts. At any rate, you probably don't wanna bank on that theory too heavily. If they put it on you before you even woke up, there's also the possibility of it being hooked right into your nervous system.

[onholyground]

Used to?

...it can't be. When it's loose like this I can get my hands under it, and it's not connected to me at all.

[ambergoldeyes]

...Yeah. The last city I was in... While I was there, I was pretty much convinced otherwise.

But still no visible way to remove it, doesn't break or anything, huh? *ponders for a moment, making a face* ...So what're you planning on doing if it still works?

[onholyground]

That's ridiculous.

Alchemy won't even work. ...well, isn't it obvious? What am I supposed to do?

[ambergoldeyes]

Yeah, well... *shrugs* Comes in handy from time to time.

Hmm... Well, it's not like you really know anybody here well enough to just go and have sex with them. ..And if you even think about finding yourself a prostitute or something every week, I don't wanna hear it.

[onholyground]

If this alternate universe thing is true, you're right, I probably don't know anyone here. And if that's what I have to resort to, I'm keeping it to myself. I don't plan on shouting from the rooftops every time I fuck someone.
