[ al's currently on floor 6, like... literally the floor, which has books and papers shoved aside so that there's a clear space. at first, the feed is a little shaky as he adjusts it, and then it's visible that he's got a rather large pile of dirt sitting in front of him. giving the feed a shy grin, he claps his gloved hands together and transmutes the material. there's a blinding flash of blue and yellow lightning and a whirl of dust. when it all fades, there's a pot with flowers sitting in the spot where the pile of dirt had been.

pleased with himself, al grins at the camera. ]

What with all the snow and everything, I thought people might be getting a little tired of the cold weather, so if people want some fresh plants to liven up their homes or rooms, I'd like to help.

[ he lifts up the pot and brings the flowers into focus. ]

I can make all types of things, if people want. My brother and I are still running a repair business for just about anything you can imagine, so please let me know!

[ setting the pot down again, he settles cross legged on the floor. ]

I was also thinking of all the different abilities people have here. For example, I'm an alchemist and you all just saw what I can do. But what can other people do? I mean, if it's not too much to ask, I'd like to ask a few questions.

oh! I like those!
I definitely think I can make some.

[ they're so cute, he might make some for himself and ed. ]

I think I can understand that.
We don't have super heroes in our world
but sometimes people think alchemists are.
We're supposed to help people, so Brother and I are sometimes called heroes.
It's just the principal of alchemy though: "Be thou for the people."

they're easy to take care of
and my cat won't get sick if he chews on them a little, even though he knows he isn't supposed to.

sounds like a hero to me.
doesn't matter if you're wearing a mask or not
a hero is anyone who is willing to help out when people need it.

[ Cisco knows, from his conversations with Ed, that alchemists didn't always use their powers to help folks, but... he's not about to bring that up now. From the sound of it, Al is plenty into helping and being kind, and Cisco digs it. ]

i'm cisco by the way.
i know your brother a little bit

[alkahestic]

it's nice to meet you, Mr. Cisco.
Brother knows a lot of people here.
and I'm glad your cat won't get sick
that would be terrible.

[ guess who's an adamant cat lover. ]

I guess when you put it that way,
Brother and I are heroes.
Or at least try to be.
