UN: flame.alchemist

[Roy’s face appears on screen wearing his trademark smirk.]

So, are there any kind ladies to show a newcomer around? Don’t worry, I’ll pay for dinner.

While I’m here, I’d also like to ask about all the other worlds people were pulled from. I’d be willing to share about my own, of course.

... Locrian Sergeant Tear Grants. A pleasure. May I ask how long you've been here?

[snapkaboom]

A pleasure indeed. I've only just arrived at the commons. I haven't even been here half a day. Are you a new resident as well?

[mystearious]

I am.

What have you found out so far, if I may ask? I'm reading the responses right now.

[snapkaboom]

Not much. More or less just confirmation of what we were told during our orientation.

[That terrible, corny orientation.]

I found out that a few people from my world are here, though it seems our memories don't match up very well. Have you found anything on your end?

[mystearious]

None. No friends, no family, just orientation and a job and a place to live. My housing is full of men...

[ ahem ]

What do you mean, memories?

[snapkaboom]

I'm sorry I can't help with your housing problem. It must be lonely.

[Mustang takes a moment to consider his words.]

When speaking to them, we found that we remembered things differently, or that one of us remembered something that the other didn't at all, despite us all being present for the same event. To be honest, there were some explanations they gave me that didn't make any sense.

[mystearious]

... Could it have something to do with the ... alternate universes? To be honest, I don't understand the science behind it, but--

[snapkaboom]

[He lets out a long sigh. Despite being in a completely different world, it all still sounded ridiculous. He couldn't deny the evidence though.]

I believe so. I can't say I know the science behind it all either, but I know the people I've talked to wouldn't tell such outrageous lies. I'm an alchemist, not a physicist.

[mystearious]

Maybe we should leave that question to the physicists then. Try to get by in the meantime.

Did they suggest a job for you...? I know we have to build this place up and earn our keep, so--

[snapkaboom]

That was my plan. [Well, for now.]

I went ahead and enlisted into the Perimeter Guard. I'm a Colonel in the Amestrian military, so it felt like the most natural option. Did you manage to get a job yourself?

[mystearious]

I'm in Search and Rescue. I have a special talent that would make me well suited for the job. I suppose we'll be seeing each other on the field?

[snapkaboom]

[Tear seemed a little on the young side to be joining such a task force, but he had no room to talk. He had gotten Edward to enlist as a State Alchemist when he was only twelve.]

I hope so! I'm not expecting any commanding positions in the near future, but at the very least we should see each other around headquarters.

[mystearious]

[ Tear was only twelve starting in the military herself, so they're rather similar. ]

I'll look forward to it.

Good luck on your... dates?

[snapkaboom]

[Good luck? Young lady, where he's going, he doesn't need luck.]

Thank you. I'll see you around.
