1st Transmutation

[Ok, this whole books talking to him thing was really, really weird and he did not like it at all, but he didn't have much of a choice when it came to forms of communication. He had done a bit of exploring, tried to figure out just where he was while looking for Al. Hell, he was looking for anyone familiar. Clearly he was not succesful because the voice coming from the journal is loud and very, very irritated.]

First thing's first. I'm looking for my little brother. His name is Alphonse Elric, goes by Al. He's hard to miss, wears a big suit of armor. If any of you know where I can find him I'd appreciate it.

[He takes a deep breath.]

Alright, I have questions and I want answers. Now.

[Listen and be amazed as the tone of his voice goes from irritated to pissed off in less than .001 seconds.]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

[amiable]

Sure! I hope you find your brother soon.






Why does he wear a suit of armor?

[unexculpable]

...



It's a hobby.

[amiable]

... People have hobbies like that? [ She actually seems to be buying it, but man that is weird. ]

[unexculpable]

Oh yeah, definitely. It's a pretty big thing where I'm from.

[No it isn't.]

[amiable]

People just walk around in such heavy armor?

[unexculpable]

Yep.

[amiable]

[ weeeeeeeeeeeeeird. ]

Where are you from?

[unexculpable]

Little town called Resembool in Amestris.

[amiable]

I've never heard of that place, but it probably doesn't exist where I'm from. [ hm. ] Have you ever heard of Japan?

[unexculpable]

[There's a noticeable pause.]

No, but I've never left the Amestris so I'm not really familiar with the geography of the countries around it.

[amiable]

[ But maps, Edward!! ]

I've never left Japan either. Unless this place counts.

Oh, welcome to Paradisa!

[unexculpable]

[Hey there a lot of places that don't get put on maps.]

Depends on where it is, I guess.

Paradisa? That's where we are?

[amiable]

Mm! It's in another world.

[unexculpable]

... What was that?

[amiable]

Another world.

[unexculpable]

... You have to be the fifth person who's said that.

How is that possible?.

[Not that he's saying there couldn't be other worlds out there, but how did he get here?]

[amiable]

The castle's magic... so it can do almost anything.

[unexculpable]

No such thing as magic.

1/2

[amiable]

[ But how do you explain being here suddenly... ]

[amiable]

Magic doesn't exist back in my world, but it's real here. Try asking the castle for something!

[unexculpable]

Why?

[amiable]

Why? We don't know.
