What the - is this Central? How did I get back here? This isn't good , someone here can recognize me and I don't even have a disguise. After that mess in Liore, I'm sure there are enough notices out by now saying that Al and I are traitors.

Liore?

That's where the things came from the sky the first time! Is that what you're talking about, nii-san?

[a_military_dog]

What are you talking about came from the -

[turns and stares Al down]

Alphonse?! Is that really you?

[can_i_keep_it]

I'm Alphonse Elric, yeah. But... umm.... that's where it gets complicated, I guess.....

[a_military_dog]

But...how....? You were in the armor. Scar turned you into the stone. I was there when the city got destroyed.

[handsforhealing]

Hmm? Another Ed?
[ Winry has seen enough Eds and found they "aren't hers" so doesn't get as hopeful anymore ]

Are you okay...?

[a_military_dog]

Considering I don't know why there are so many of the same person around and I think I'm having a really bad dream - no.

.....what about you? Are you ok?

[handsforhealing]

I see... Well... I don't think you're dreaming... But maybe I can help make things a bit easier somehow?
... do you like stew?

[ she pauses when asked if she's okay, then laughs and nods ]

Oh yeah! Just fine! No need to worry about me!

[a_military_dog]

Of course I like stew. You know that. I was always at your house when you and Auntie Pinako were having it.

[suspicious of that laugh]

That forced laugh means you're not sure.

o hay i'm mafia-series ed

[Oh hell, what's this. This is the second person Ed's seen that looks like him. He really hopes this one isn't a girl too, that was just damn confusing.]

Uh... Hi... Edward Elric, is it?

[This version doesn't seem to have hit his not-nearly-good-enough growth-spurt yet. Ed guesses that this one is fifteen or sixteen.]

Not... a whole lot of point in playing twenty-questions, I guess, since we're obviously not from the same world...

anime ed

I don't know who you are, but I'm me, no matter how many copies I see around.

It's obviously just a trick of the humunculi...unless they really have opened the gate. Either way. If they are responsible, I'll find out. And I'll fix it.

[mafia_ed]

I wasn't-- I mean, I was just asking if it was your name. Most of the other versions of me here seem to be 'Elric'... So, I just kind of assumed... I don't think the word 'copy' really makes sense since I'm older than you...

I, uh, I don't really understand anything you just said... Would this 'gate' be, like, a connector point between worlds? If you know how to sort this all out, that'd be great... I'm... kind of lost with all this alternate universe stuff...

[a_military_dog]

Edward or just Ed...

Connector of worlds. That's not a bad way to describe it. I thought there were only two. My own and that London place. Maybe I was wrong.
