[ the feed opens up with a little bit of jostling until it's settled on a nearby bedstand. then, there's a flash of red cloth before al settles down on the floor in front of it. in his white-gloved hands is a broken lamp. he sets it on the floor in front of him. ]

Hello! [ he's rather cheerful. ] I'm Alphonse Elric. Some of you may have already met my brother, Ed. We're alchemists and though we're working in the Perimeter Guard, I also wanted to let people know that we're here to help. If you have something broken, we can probably fix it.

[ he gestures at the broken lamp with a grin and then slaps his palms together. they're then placed above the lamp as a bright, blue light encompasses it. there's a spark of energy and soon the broken pieces are molding back together. ]

See? Just like new.

[ switching it on, the light flickers for a second and then begins to glow steadily. ]

So again, if you need something fixed, Brother and I are on floor 6. Have a nice day!

[ blinks. yet another person assuming it's magic. it's a little wearisome, but al perseveres with a grin. ]

No, it's not really magic, though it might seem like it.

[greatflame]

But you just fixed the broken lamp with your hands. [He looks confused, because what else would it be?]

[alkahestic]

I fixed it with alchemy. [ holds up his hands to reveal the arrays stitched into them. ] The transmutation circles allow me to draw energy from the world around us to power the change.

[greatflame]

It sounds kind of like how runes work.

[alkahestic]

Runes?

[greatflame]

Mhm. In my world, people like me can use runes to enhance ourselves and use them to do other things.

[alkahestic]

Like what?
