[ 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!

Sounds like a good spread.

[Maybe she should have eaten more at the Carnival? Oh well.

She grabs a pile of potato chips and then drops them lightly on the table before looking up at Al.] Like this? [She has no idea what they're doing.]

[alkahestic]

Mm! I hope so. Brother wants to get a lot of information we can use at this meeting, so hopefully people will come and take part.

And that's perfect. [ moving to the pile, he takes out a piece of chalk from his pockets and draws an array around the pile of chips. ]

This is a transmutation circle. One is always required for alchemy, no matter what kind of alchemy you do. What you need to do now is place your hands on the outside of the square and focus on the chips. Imagine them becoming a whole potato. If you have the ability to do alchemy, it should work.

[Yuffie nods thoughtfully before turning to look more closely at the potato chips and the circle. She hasn’t seen circles exactly like that but it makes her think a little bit of what she’s seen riffling through some of Hojo’s stuff. A shiver twists uncomfortably down her spine before she pushes the eerie feeling away.

Her fingers gently touch the circle and Yuffie swears she can feel something. Like a crackle of lightening? She isn’t sure. She tries to focus on the potato chips but it’s really hard to imagine something so delicious as a potato chip becoming something as boring as a potato.

Nothing happens.

Yuffie frowns and in a bit of a huff ice extends from her fingertips freezing the potato chips and over half of the circle in watery crystal.] Stupid Potato. [She might sound a little bit upset.]

[alkahestic]

[ seeing the potato chips freeze over, al's eyes widen. granted, it's not alchemy, but it's surprising and amazing nonetheless. ]

That was still really neat, Miss Yuffie!

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie blinks, her anger forgotten in the wake of Al's surprise.]

Oh, that? That's my Materia.

[She pulls at the bracelet around her wrist and then lifts up a little red glowing sphere for Al to see.] Only some people can use 'em. Figured if I can do this I might be able to do Alchemy.

[Maybe she needs more practice.]

[alkahestic]

[ making a low noise of interest as he peers at the gem, he nearly frowns. it reminds him of incomplete philosopher's stone pieces, but that surely can't be what she's using. she's from a different world, after all. ]

Is it magic? Because magic is different from alchemy.

[thegreatninja]

It's like magic. I guess.

[It depends what he means by magic. Technically, there are two types of magic on Gaia.] This is a crystal that's grown and it's refined to have these powers attached to them.

I don't know how they do it. If you mean magic magic... like what the Ancients did? That's been lost. [Ever since... Yuffie pushes the thought away.] They were able to heal. Leviathan tells us that our descents had been able to but I'm not so sure.
