[Another Edward can be seen scrutinizing the welcome sign, completely confused and befuddled. He's just about as short as your average Ed, but notably, his skin is several shades darker and he wears a pair of sunglasses that obscure his eyes from both the front and the side.

Genre-savvy characters are completely welcome to guess at the reason why

[Glances over and narrows his eyes.] You know anything about this?

[eastern_recluse]

Your hair is the wrong color. It is horrid and all Amestris' fault.

[agnostically]

Uh, my hair is not the wrong color.

...Amestris's fault? What, you mean like the military?

[And here comes the welcoming committee.]

The sign explains everything, but it doesn't sink in for a lot of people until they hear it out loud so- welcome to Fake Central. Everything it says is true, and if you've never heard of central before well... Welcome to the club.

[Blond kid with dark skin, yeah he's totally not making the connection this supposed to be another version of 'him', although whether or not he'd figure it out sans glasses is up to debate too. He's still not used to being one of the taller calmer alternates of ... half the population despite being here this long, and has no idea anything might be remotely odd about this kid.]

[Ed looks over, finding that voice oddly familiar. The guy there has an appearance that's also familiar... though, Ed can't really put his finger on it. Even though he's just read the sign explaining about alternate versions of oneself, it's not like he'd be expecting another him to be Amestrian.]

No, I've heard of Central. I was in Central last thing I knew, but this is new.

[oedipuscomplex]

Well, consider yourself one of the lucky ones, then. There's no Central where I'm from... and I've never met half the people that recognize me. You get used to it after awhile, though...

[Hands in his pockets with a shrug.]

And trust me, you'll need to. Because you're probably going to be here awhile.

[He's not sure which is worse, what the other guy is saying or how casually he's saying it. Here, have a frown.]

I can't be here a while, my assessment's coming up. Jeez... Look, there's got to be some way out of this place.

Colonel Royse Mustang.

Royse...? Why are you a woman?!
