I... I can't find Brother anywhere. I'm worried. What if something happened to him in this city?

I... I have to find him.

Has anyone seen a short man with long blonde hair? It's usually in a ponytail or tied in a braid. Um, he'll probably have white gloves on and a brown coat.

You... you sound very scared. Are you okay?
I'm sorry, I haven't seen anyone by that description around - but then again I haven't really been to many of the areas of the city aside from the Business District lately.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for you though.

[soul_alchemy]

I'm not really scared, just worried... My brother is very smart and strong, so I'm sure he can take care of himself. It's just I was searching for him a long time before I came here, and then I found him. But he's missing again.

Mm, thank you! We usually like to spend time at the library.

[noisettehost]

Ah, I understand that worry. I don't have any friends or relatives in Paradisim, but I have made some very close friends. I worry if they disappear for too long.

Library, huh?
I'm in and out of there regularly, but I usually flip through cookbooks. Maybe sometime I should meet you there, it's always good to make new friends.

My name's Haruhi. Haruhi Fujioka.

[soul_alchemy]

Do people disappear here often? I know new people show up all the time.

Yeah! I'm usually in the history or science section. Maybe we could meet!

I'm Alphonse. Alphonse Elric. It's nice to meet you, Miss Haruhi!

[fadingbells]

I'm sorry to hear that, Al...maybe he just got caught up with the slew of recent arrivals? In any case I'll keep an eye out.

[soul_alchemy]

Mm! Thank you, Rhyme! I hope he's ok. He's very strong and can fight if he needs to, but... I just wish I knew where he was.

[fadingbells]

Not a problem! Anything else you can tell me about what he looks like? You said his name was Edward, right?

[soul_alchemy]

Yup! Um, let's see... He's always wearing these brownish clothes. The coat is long, has a hood, and underneath he wears a brown vest. And, I don't think you'd be able to tell, since he always has them covered, but his arm and leg are auto-mail.

[cursedpromise]

He may have left.

[soul_alchemy]

Do people get sent home?

...But Brother is...

[cursedpromise]

...I don't know if they go home.

But people have left.

[soul_alchemy]

Oh... Then maybe Brother is...

I'm sure he's ok! I just wish that he wasn't... gone.

[chibithief]

People disappear a lot. Maybe he isn't here anymore?

[soul_alchemy]

That's what I keep hearing, but... I don't want to be separated from my brother again.

[chibithief]

... I can help you look for him? Maybe he just got lost.

[soul_alchemy]

Mm, that would be helpful!

I'm Al, by the way! Alphonse Elric.
