Ah, to be young and alive! Breathe in the air, enjoy the scenery, get to know the people...

Let me tell you a little philosophy...

[The young man in the video — he's such a character in hair alone (what on earth is going on with it) — sits in his rented hospital wheelchair in his simple apartment space on floor 14 (needs a little work, he thinks, not nearly enough reading material or flashy bits). In one hand, he's got some silly romance novel that's clearly forgotten, and he looks a bit weary, a bit hollowed out from battles not yet mentioned, but he's clearly so very jazzed about the opportunity to be here in Riverview. After all, he'd thought he'd be a dead man, and though he's hardly out of the woods entirely, he has more time to keep going! More time to really go the extra mile -- literally! Ahahahaha!

Oh, yes, the philosophy. Ehem.

At this point, his mouth is moving a mile a minute.]




That's the fun of travel, and there's no better travel than hopping worlds; think about it...! Of all the universes and all the galaxies, you were extended a hand to this place — a one in a trillion chance, perhaps more, to be among the stars! Or perhaps to shoot across time and space like one...! More time to chase after longevity, to meet records, to dash down the sin of sloth. We all have the right to free will! Free will to fall in love, to learn and grow and develop new and interesting hobbies and ideas and concepts of what it is to be our own individual self; individuality is key! [He's balancing on one wheelchair wheel, spinning in a circle. Stop him. STOP HIM.] But what's the point of all that if you're too slow to get around to it, huh?! Don't let yourself hold you back!! If you want something, reach for it, so you know what that means—?!

[He stops. Drops back onto all his wheels, so tickled.]

Anyone interested in wheelchair racing?

[Sometimes (most times) he just can't help himself.]

[ al notices and he notes to himself that it takes a great deal of skill. ]

I agree. Brother and I haven't had a home but each other for a long time. But you... have you had a wheelchair for long?

[ it's a strange concept to him because in his world, automail is usually preferable to wheeling one's self around.
alkahestic: (i don't want to let this go)

[ he's tempted to ask what happened, but knows that sometimes things like that are meant to stay private, so he nods in understanding. ]

I guess so? Is there any way to make it more convenient?

Mm! It is. And it's nice to meet you, Mr. Cougar. I'm Alphonse Elric.
alkahestic: ('cause in my head)

I've been here about a month or so, I think. I don't really think I'm very social, but I'm okay with being here because Brother is here.

Hm... well, there was a god recently that was causing issues, but a boy named Nico was able to put it to sleep. There's also the soulmate festival going on now.
