[ once the festival is over, as elrics tend to do, they've turned a corner of the room into a research space for the time being, surrounded by books as they read on the couch. although things started productively enough, after some time leaning against his brother reading, ed slips down to stretch out facing the back of the sofa where he's eventually fallen asleep, long hair loose down his back and draped over the cushions to the floor - whatever book he's been reading forgotten in favor of getting more comfortable.

al, meanwhile, is sitting up with a frown on his features. his fingers card through his brother's hair in a slow, affectionate gesture, one that denotes just how close the two brothers are. at one point, he reaches over to grab his brother's slowly falling book and sets it aside before addressing the feed. ]

So many people have forgotten things. It's strange; I thought things were settled when that god was put to sleep. I think it's affected my brother too.

[ he pauses to card his fingers through his brother's hair again. ] He's been acting a bit differently, but don't tell him.

Anyway, how many people have lost memories? I've seen at least three people on the network so far. Anyone else? Maybe if we figure out who's affected, we can find a solution...

[ ooc: post is also open for floor 6 people and visitors! ]

[Have this face.] There's a boy here who lost a bit of time. You'd know him as Ciel. Whatever you know about what's going on, I'd like to know it, too.

[alkahestic]

[ well, that's a little suspicious, but al knows better to judge a book by its cover, so he doesn't comment on that smirk, choosing instead to address the message. ]

I don't think I've ever met him, but I'll add him to my list. There are quite a few people, it seems. If I do figure it out, I'll let you know, Mr....?

[somakemelaugh]

[He just always looks like this. Most of the time anyway.] Maybe another quirk of the portal.

Undertaker. Just Undertaker. And what name should I call you?

[alkahestic]

Could be. [ he hasn't ruled it out yet. ]

Hm... Okay, Mr. Undertaker. [ what a weird name. ] I'm Al. Alphonse Elric.

[somakemelaugh]

[It wouldn't surprise him.] Al, then. Well, if there's anything you find, or anything at all that I can do to help, you be sure to let me know. I want this done and over with as much as anyone, portal or no.

And please, just Undertaker. Sounds weird the other way around.

[alkahestic]

Right.

[ giving a nod to both requests. undertaker is still a strange name ( profession maybe? ), but al's heard of weirder things, so he figures he'll let it pass. ]

[somakemelaugh]

[And that, he figures, is that. So he'll just tip his hat and be done with it.] Good luck.
