001 Enter the Alchemist

[snacklist]

[Sometime after the initial panic of finding himself in a strange place where books talked at you when you opened them, there were no Homunculi or anyone familiar at all, and... everything ever; much later at night after things have started to sink in, there is a polite sounding voice over the journals after a self conscious throat clearing.]

Good evening! My name is Alphonse Elric and... do any you know Brother? His name is Edward and he's the... [little] ...alchemist with a red coat.

[What more can he really say? This is still so overwhelming and ridiculous.]

...I hope I can meet you all in person soon, talking over... a book seems a bit impersonal for a first meeting. [And then, in case that made anyone think he didn't want to talk now, he hastily added:] But it's nice to meet you anyway.

[ooc: Open to all]

[He smiles.]

Maybe next time?

[snacklist]

Mm!

I'd ask for a kitten!

[Or his original body back, whatever.]

[goldencirclet]

A kitten? That's cute! I bet they have kittens somewhere...

[snacklist]

[If a suit of armour could be grinning, this one would be.]

You think so? But don't they have owners already?

[goldencirclet]

I dunno! I mean, y'could ask?

[snacklist]

Right!

...Um, who would I ask?

[goldencirclet]

Ummm... I dunno. Maybe if you ask over the journal?

[snacklist]

Okay! It seems really weird to talk to people over a book.

[goldencirclet]

It is a little weird, but it's easy to keep up with your friends.

[snacklist]

I bet you must have a lot of friends, huh?

[goldencirclet]

Yeah! It's really great.

[snacklist]

[He giggles, bending down to rest a hand on Goku's head.]

A nice person like you? Everyone would want to be friends with you.

[goldencirclet]

[That armor on his head was a bit weird, but Goku shines with happiness anyway.]

Yer so nice, Alphonse!

[snacklist]

Haha, it's easy to be nice when you're talking to someone nice.

[goldencirclet]

[Have a hug, Mr. Elric.]

[snacklist]

[A-Ah. He's so unused to affection like this since gaining this body, and he freezes for a moment before gently hugging back.]

[goldencirclet]

[The armor is really hard, but Goku doesn't care. It felt like Al really needed a hug, and Goku was a perceptive kid.]

Are ya hungry? Did ya know ya can wish fer things in the castle and they give it to ya?

[snacklist]

[Ahaha... haha...]

N-No! I'm not hungry, I... had a really big meal before coming here.

[goldencirclet]

Oh, okay!

[The little boy just smiles and picks up his tribble again.]

[snacklist]

Do you stay with anyone here, Goku?

[Someone should be taking care of him, right?]

[goldencirclet]

I have my own room! It says my name on the door. But Apollo an' Nora an' lots of people look after me.

[snacklist]

That's good, they must be really nice, right?

[He wants to be sure the little boy has good people with him.]

[goldencirclet]

They're the best people ever. I've never had so many friends!

[snacklist]

Maybe I'll make lots here too, huh?

[goldencirclet]

I bet! Yer so nice an' big an' cool so ya gonna get loads of friends.
