Huh....

This isn't Lior. I'm not sure this is even where I got off the train.

I guess I should check in with the Colonel and get my orders...

Ah! Excuse me, but is there a military base nearby? Or, if not, a public phone I could use? I would very much appreciate it!

[OOC: Explanation is longer than the post. *dies*

Al's been Road Not Taken'd to a reality where he refused to help his brother with their mom. Ed attempted to resurrect her and died in the process, despite Al's frantic attempts to save him. Al has two automail hands which he wears gloves to hide. The rest of his body is fifteen and human. He joined the military in an attempt to find a way to bring his brother back. Personality-wise, he's mostly the same -- a little sadder and a little tougher. But he has a body! Yay!]

That we cannot come or go from this place except when dictated by the deities. There are frequent "curses" and they told me that you were -- that you were here, but I didn't believe --

How is this possible, Brother?

It shouldn't be...

Do you have full recollection of your life? No gaps in memory?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Of course. Why wouldn't I?

...Wait a minute, do you?

And you don't remember any armor?

How did I end up in the armor, Brother?

More like, how did you end up in that body...? Al remembered—

And you're in the military?

Tch.

Another soul, a mix-up in the Gate—there'd've been a rebound, though—

...Mom. Did — when we did the human transmutation, what... what do you remember happening?

When you did the human transmutation, you lost control and the array swallowed you. I tried to stop it, but when I reached in to grab you it took both of my hands. I ended up in front of -- that thing, but it wouldn't let me through after you, and when I woke up you were just gone.

A different reality... and the Al I know... can this really be only a curse?

Your arms... you're looking for a way to get them back?

...You'd better not be trying to bring me back.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I'm setting things back the way they should be.

Even though you know better?

What happened to you...

It wasn't a natural death, like Mom's. It wasn't peaceful...

All my research suggests it's reversible. A kind of... not-death.

private;

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

Yeah? And your research, what's it suggesting is the exchange fee? Unless you've figured out a way I haven't...

I'll need a stone, of course.

...those're made of human souls, Al.

I would... rather you didn't.

I'll find a way. I have to.
