001 - VIDEO

[notrueking]

[Well, there’s definitely some kind of fiddling going on here from someone who doesn’t seem to know how to operate these things… but hey, it focused eventually, right? Well, anyway, right now there’s a rather imposing looking man standing on Route 29, who seem completely unfazed by by both the situation at hand and the fact that it is snowing pretty damn hard.

There is also a bird made of swords chilling in the background, holy shit. ...'chilling' is meant kind of literally, there's snow piling up on that thing. ...although if it minds it's not really giving any indication that it does.]

This device seems to be working, so let me cut to the chase. I’ve spoken to several people who seem to live here, and they seem to be quite capable of telling me about this place-and it’s definitely one hell of a place they’ve got here, I’ll grant them that!

>[Well, hey, at least someone’s taking this well! He does serious up a bit for the next bit of conversation, though.]

However, I’m not entirely clear on why I’m here-although, I do have some ideas. I assume that at least one of you will be able to give me a decent explanation without eventually starting to repeat everything that they just said.

[ Well... that voice sounds familiar... ]

[ ... Oh man... he's not sure how he feels about this... 'cause the Fuhrer technically doesn't have any authority here. But at the same time, he's the Fuhrer...

And he's a little creepy sometimes... ]

[eliciadaddy.livejournal.com]

[ .... How to start this... Maes isn't sure who you've spoken to, Bradley, so he doesn't really know if he'd be able to give you any new information...

But not responding would seem kind of mean. Fuhrer deserves the same helping hand anyone else would receive. ]

[ Oh! Right. Your son arrived a few days ago. That's new information, right? ]

5/? ... I'm so sorry for this...

[eliciadaddy.livejournal.com]

[ But wait... how does one even go about saying that...? "Hey Fuhrer I've never really spoken to before, welcome to this strange new land. Btws, I told your son I would meet up with him to help him out. You want to join us?"

... that's awkward...

... How does one interact with the Fuhrer anyways? ]

6/6 I'm done, I promise... I never do this...

[eliciadaddy.livejournal.com]

[ Salute. ]

Fuhrer, Sir!

[ Awkward pause. ]

You've just arrived here?

[Checking the network, checking the network, Envy's been doing this so much more regularly since so many Amestrians started showing up--]

[And it looks like here's another one hi there Bradley.]

[video 2/3]

[exeggutorhead]

[You know, it figures that with more homunculi showing up, it would be the one Envy doesn't get along with that shows up now. If this is even the same one he knows at all.]

[video 3/3 | locked]

[exeggutorhead]

[You know, he's going to put a lock on this just in case. He smiles, but the friendly look doesn't reach his eyes at all.]

Well, if it isn't the Fuhrer himself. Welcome to Johto.

[[FMA c-c-c-combobreaker! Emmy, accompanied by her Machop, happens to be making her way through Route 29, happily scrolling through her Pokegear as she does it, managing to pick up Bradley's feed.

...sikk bird brah]]

Well, what sort of info were you after? I don't know how much help I'll be, but I'm happy to assist in puzzling things out!

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[the illest bird, man.

...and hmm... that doesn't sound as promising as it could, but it can't hurt to ask.]

Well, first off, I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing here in the first place.

[N-NO WAY! Guess who woke up here more than half a year ago soon after meeting you in person? Yup, this girl here.]

[...And then Ed and Al warned her about you, she can still remember that moment and the kind of alarmed feeling from that moment on...

So, this is weird.]

[themechotaku.livejournal.com]

[...No. Talking to Roy is WEIRD, who would have thought she'd ever talk with Ed's boss~.

Well, talking to other people from Amestris and people knowing her name is even WEIRDER! And let's not forget about talking to your son, that was just as weird too.

So... Not that Winry wants to be rude or anything, but this is probably the most WEIRDEST thing ever. Fuhrer on that little screen? Waiting for people to talk to him?

How's she even supposed to talk to that man? Hey, is this one of those moments when Ed or Al should grab the gear away from the girl and tell her not to do this?!]

[themechotaku.livejournal.com]

[Okay, enough with the word weird. ...Well, have a smile. You were nice to her when she was waiting for the boys anyway.]

You're here because you got [ummm] pulled into the world of creatures called pokemon - and you're supposed to either train them or breed them while you travel across this place, Johto, sir.

[Please don't make her talk to you about pokemon breeding, please?! This situation is weird enough as it is.]

[ JESUS CHRIST ANOTHER ONE? Now this has become routine for Lust since the last three homunculi have arrived. ]

My, my, it appears that every loyal child of Father is here now, except Gluttony. [ o-oh this kind of makes her heart go dokidoki. ] How goes it, Fuhrer?

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[...oh hey it's onee-chan

...this is way less surprising than it should be.]

Almost all of us are here, then? I'd say it's a pleasure to see you again... though, I'm not entirely sure how that bodes, given that right before I arrived here many of us were dead.

How much have you heard?

[video/the world's flimsiest lock because you have to be kidding what is this thing]

[blackholedson.livejournal.com]

[...well, after Sloth arrived Selim's gotten somewhat better at figuring this thing out and checking it a bit more regularly; good thing, as clearly the Homunculi just won some sort of random good fortune lottery or something.]

Another one of us here, I see. And so soon!

[Hello there, Wrath. Say hi to your older brother/son/boss/...thing.]

So good of you to join us.

[video/what the fuck is this new technology we don't even know]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[it's almost like they're being asked to form some kind of criminal organization prefaced with "Team" or something]

After Lust told me that practically all of us were here, I was wondering when I'd see you.

[If what he heard about timelines is correct, then... let's get straight to business.]

How long have you been here, and when are you from, exactly?

[simple-toon.livejournal.com]

ADVENTURE! A QUEST! A MIGHTY EVENT!

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

...you're certainly excited about this, aren't you?

[...he was bound to meet someone new that he hates more than usual eventually...]

[video]

[gochuugoku.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, I still don't know why I was brought here, aru.

[He's sitting in a chair, his bad leg was being held in a splint and his crutches were leaning on the side of the chair.]

People come and go. Then sometimes they come back with no memories of this place.

[Still, he was happy that he was able to make so many new friends in Johto, as well as enlarge his family.]

[video]

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[...man, what happened to you

...he really doesn't care but it could be helpful to know]

No theories as to what causes people to come and go, then? ...still, that's... fairly interesting to know. There's no pattern to it?

[VIDEO] - Whoops, I really should have tagged this sooner YOU CAN PUNCH ME IN THE FACE NOW

[sadisticwarfare.livejournal.com]

[...Is that...]

Fuhrer Bradley?

[Well hello, sir! Archer will just snap a sharp salute in greeting. It's entirely possible that you won't recognize him - no one does - so for now he'll just play the role of one of your numerous unnamed soldiers! He's wearing his military uniform, so this doesn't look... quite as weird as it could. You may be able to make out the insignia of Colonel as well!]

I wasn't expecting to see you here, sir. Is there anything I can do to help you?

[VIDEO] IT'S OKAY MAN, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT

[notrueking.livejournal.com]

[...yeah no you don't really look like anyone he knows. ...to be fair, he's not the sort to care either way, so-]

Admittedly, I wasn't exactly expecting to be here myself. Anyway, I think I'll be fine. Most of what people actually know about this place has been explained to me already.
