((I have a week to graduation, no classes between now and then but I'm still stuck 90 miles from home with no money, nothing productive to do and I am the worst combination of bored and antsy. I am going insane. Oh blessed fantasy-world, take me!))

[Winry spots Ed. She recognizes him because he wears clothing a bit different from most of the Eds she sees. The blond grins a bit, thinking of something. Winry sneaks up behind him, and bear hugs him.]

Hey, you!

[mafia_ed]

[OMG FLAIL IT'S A SNEAK-ATTACK DON'T KILL ME!]

G-WHA?!

[automailmaker]

[Lets him go, punches him playfully on the arm.]

What have you been up to?

[mafia_ed]

[Oh god this girl is bound and determined to give him a heart-attack! He might actually feel more at ease if she just shoved a gun in his face...]

I... not a lot. Working, reading, finding out nothing particularly useful other than all the horrific possibilities that exist in a world with alchemy...

[He's still kind of flustered, but calming down.]

[Opposite-gender people, you say? Rosa wanders by, noticing Ed watching the people who wander by.]

Oh, hey, another Ed.

[mafia_ed]

((DAMN YOUS KETSU! DAMN YOUS TO HELL!))

[Ed reflects that that seems like a rather rude way to be greeted. He looks at the girl, trying to place the familiarity he sees in her.]

Uh... Hi... Edward von Hohenheim. And you are?

[siehatdornen]

Nice to meet you. My name is Rosa! [She still doesn't give out her last name. Damn you, Russel and your insanity.] So, not Edward Elric? You're taller than him, too... Maybe you're not really an Ed at all.

[mafia_ed]

No, I- I am, I'm just older than a lot of them... I'm almost nineteen. And my mother's name was Elric... Er... Hi, Rosa... You look familiar but I can't quite place it.

[otouto_al]

Excuse me, are you okay?

[[heh..... I-I'm graduating this week too. So I kind of know how you feel. Except I'm at home. *hugs tight*]]

[mafia_ed]

[Another of the weirdly sweet ones... He wonders if the Al in his world was ever as sweet and innocent seeming as these Als. Or as little... Logic said yes to the second, but it was hard to imagine that towering hulk of a boy ever being shorter than him.]

Uh, yeah. I'm fine. Just hoping yet again to find someone from home.

[otouto_al]

*frowns, but then blinks*

I've met you before, haven't I? I-I mean... you dress a little differently than most of the Edwards here, like how I dress, well, not like a lot of the Alphonses. *motions to his robes* You... look familiar.

oh crap, i can't remember. really? i know at least two of mine have talked to him...

[mafia_ed]

I know there's at least one other Ed that dresses kind of similar to me...

[He tilts his head and the mun makes an executive decision because she can't remember the context.]

And, yeah. It is a bit different. Very formal... My name seems to be the most distinctive thing about me. "von Hohenheim."

[heartofahime]

(You get to damn me, too. xD Rei wants to say hi.)

*Rei's looking a bit mopey as she walks along, but she notices Ed sitting in the distance and manages a bit of a smile, waving to him as she approaches*

Hey...

[mafia_ed]

((well then damn you as well, jeni! he finds her presence bizarre but not bad because he's met her before.))

Oh. Hi. It was Rei, right?

[heartofahime]

(You know you love me. 8D)

Mhm... you waiting for some one or just hanging out?

[mafia_ed]

((oh dear! she knows!))

Just taking a walk and, y'know, hoping to run into someone from my world or something. I needed some sun.
