Mmhhh... Alexander, it's cold...

[Nina moves her hand touching the sheets looking for her dog.]

Alexander?

[That's weird, why isn't he near her? Nina rubs her eyes, awakening, and takes a look around.]

What? This isn't my room. Papa? Alexander?

[She jumps out of the bed, running to take a look outside through the window. No, not exactly what she was

[Actually, your new fake dad can't hear you! You'll have to excuse him. That's just what happens when you have headphones blasting in your ears nonstop. However, you might be able to hear him, as he is in his bedroom, saying a prayer kind of loudly.]

[ilmeccanico]

[Nina continues exploring the house without being able to find anything useful to understand where she is: everything seems to suggest she always lived here, but she's sure she had a dog, a wonderful papa and a house in another place, it doesn't makes sense at all.
Walking near a room she heard a voice inside and, leaning her hear on the door, she was able to recognize a male voice.]

Someone!

[Nina opens the door looking inside; okay, she never met him before and he isn't dad at all... what a pity.
She wonders why is he talking to himself, but at least maybe he'll explain her what's happening.]

Uhm... Excuse me?

[She moves indise, confused. Is he the bad man who kidnapped her? But he doesn't seems a bad man even if he has a strange nose...
Wait, he's the one she saw in the pictures!]

[beheadofworship]

[Still can't hear her! But soon enough he can kind of sense that she's in the room. And he just kind of looks up in shock, staying silent for a brief moment]

....

OHHH!

[He is louder than intended but he's surprised and can't hear himself, so ... ]

[ilmeccanico]

[Gulps and takes a step back: Why is this strange man almost screaming? He doesn't seems a bad person, but papa told her bad people sometimes can even looks like angels.]

Uhm... Are you the one who kidnapped me?

[kimitoaruiteku]

[Oh crap. It can't be... can it?]

Nina...?

[ilmeccanico]

[This voice...]

Alphonse big big brother?

[She smiles; she's not alone!]

[kimitoaruiteku]

[It's her.]

Nina, can you find out the address of the place you're in right now...? If you go outside, there should be numbers of the wall... I'll come visit you as soon as I know where you are, okay? I'll bring Ed too! It'll be so great to see you again.

[He's really trying to hold it together and keep his voice cheerful.]

[ilmeccanico]

[blinks]

Oh? Of course!
[she runs outside and takes a look around.]

Tah... it's so cold. It's... Kra-md-en Road and the number is 1487.
Big Big brother Alphonse, please, can you tell me where Alexander and Papa are? Nina can't find them. I'm happy to play with you and little big brother Edward, but this place is... strange.
[smiles]
Yes, it'll be great seeing you two!
[She doesn't notice his real mood]

[hop_toit_udonge]

... This is no good at all.

[ilmeccanico]

...
What's not good?

[hop_toit_udonge]

This place... needs no more children.

[ilmeccanico]

Do you mean there are a lot of children here?

[braided_icarus]

[That's a voice he hasn't heard in years now. For good reason.]

N-Nina...? Is that..that you?

[ilmeccanico]

[Oh, why Edward's voice sounds so... mature, somehow?]

Of course it's me, little big brother! I'm so happy you and big big brothers are both here!

[smiles widely]

[braided_icarus]

R-right. I heard the address, I'll be there soon, okay? Just wait there.

[And he is dashing out now to said address. Nina was here. He shouldn't be so surprised, should try keep up a smile on his face. It would be good to see her again. He took a deep breath, composing himself as he stands at the door and knocks.]

[ilmeccanico]

Ah! Little Big brother'll come! Horray!

[And she waits until she heard him knocking at the door. When she opens she's still wearing her pink pyjamas, but seems she doesn't care too much.
Nina smiles widely and jumps to hug him]

Little Big Brother, you're really here!

[white_pretear]

Hello? Did you just wake up here?

[ilmeccanico]

Uhm... yes. Do you know where I am?
...
Have you seen a papa and a big big Alexander?

[white_pretear]

This place is called Mayfield. We've all been brought here like you.

I don't think so. What is your dad's name?

[ilmeccanico]

Mayfiels? Have you wake up here like me too?

He's the great Shou Tucker and my name is Nina Tucker! What's your name, miss?
