[ 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! ]

And they might not even grow here. I'm not sure if something like that is the cause.

[verflair]

What do you suspect, then? You mentioned a god, so some sort of magic, perhaps?

[alkahestic]

I'm not sure yet, but I will try to figure it out. It can't be the god I mentioned because it was put to sleep. A lot of people went to check it out and there was a boy who could face gods like that. He's the one who did it.

But it's not just the people who went that are being affected. So... [ al scratches at his cheek, still frowning. there could be a lot of different reasons for why people are losing their memories and there are two many variables. it all makes al a little frustrated, so he focuses on his brother, brushing his fingers across ed's forehead again. ]

[verflair]

I won’t ask for the details at present, but I admit my curiosity is piqued. There are not many who could simply lay a god to rest where I come from.

[ There is the Warrior of Light, of course, the famed adventurer known for going toe-to-toe with the gods of the beastmen, but he would think such a soul would be rare indeed. ]

A follower of that god, perhaps? I know a fair bit about the arcane, but this is out of my wheelhouse.

[alkahestic]

He's... strange, but Brother trusts him, so I do too. [ and because the mun plays both characters and doesn't want to playercest, al leaves it at that. ]

It's possible? I don't think there are any, but there's still a lot of this moon that's unexplored. If someone's responsible, I think they'd make themselves known soon enough.

[verflair]

There are rather a lot of unknowns, and unfortunately, I’ve very little knowledge of this place or the magic here, never mind the technology.

[ He offers something of a sympathetic glance at the screen. Like he said, he’s a newbie. ]

I hope that the cause becomes apparent soon.
