First Transmutation

Who: Alphonse Elric and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Marsiva
When: October 15th

[Video]

[Hello, Fleet, there's a fearsome-looking suit of armor peering at the screen- though right now only one of his eyes is visible.]

So this is like a telephone or a radio, right? Except there are pictures and words on it, too! I really like it!

I'm Alphonse. Uh, don't mind how I look- I wear armor for protection. [Al wasn't under any delusions that he'd be able to keep the fact that he was hollow inside a secret for very long- he never seemed to be able to- but he was going to try.]

Brother, are you here, too? Major Miles? ... Winry?

[Action, on the Marsiva]

[There wasn't much Al could to do make himself look less conspicuous- he'd accepted that long ago- but here, in this unfamiliar place, he wished more than ever that he could. The Homunculi had eyes and ears everywhere in Amestris, and he had to be working under the assumption that they were here, too. He could only hope that they wouldn't be putting any innocent people in danger trying to find him.

He was also worried about Edward. He knew his brother would be fine in the storm, watched over by Major Miles, but what would happen to him afterward? And what about Winry, May, and Dr. Marcoh? He could care less about Scar, but he'd gone out to try and warn them that Briggs was unsafe, and now there was nobody to deliver that message.

Of course, if he kept blacking out... if this was it, if his soul was going to let go of his armor body... he might not have been able to get to them himself anyway.

Al let out a sigh. At least the view was pretty. Stars were everywhere.]

We'll get you back to your brother soon. And kick plenty of butt. Don't worry.
resnipstance: shrug, unsure (08)

... No space travel?
resnipstance: unsure (27)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
So... no one on your planet's been off-world? ... Ever?

[She's really struggling with this "no space travel" thing.]
resnipstance: shrug, unsure (08)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-20 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
... Wow. That's like... ancient times.
resnipstance: wtf the fuck, skeptical, avoidant (07)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
Definitely. Even backwater planets out in deep space usually have some way of getting off-world, where I'm from...
resnipstance: shrug, unsure (08)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-22 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
Of course there are. Thousands of them.
resnipstance: unsure, eyebrow raise (82)

I hadn't even heard of Earth, before I got here.

My home planet is Shili-- but I grew up on Coruscant.
resnipstance: fond smile (79)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-25 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Shili and Coruscant? I don't mind talking about them.

Shili is... colourful, is the only way to describe it. Colourful and hot. The grass there grows tall, taller than your head, and it's always striped with white. That's why my people all have white patterns all over-- it's an old evolutionary throwback for camouflage. But other than the white stripes, the colour of the grass is different depending on the region. It can be red, orange, yellow, green...

The architecture is different from the way humans build, too. We favour organic shapes and making our home reflect our environment, so the buildings look more like gigantic flowers or waves from the sea.

Wow. You might not like Coruscant then.

Coruscant's... well. It's basically a city that got so big, it covered the whole planet.
resnipstance: fond or smug. it's hard to tell. (19)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-26 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Really? Usually people from the countryside can't stop grumbling about how the air in Coruscant is too polluted and the buildings are too tall. And-- to be fair, those are all valid complaints. But... it's not all bad.
resnipstance: smile, interested (89)

[personal profile] resnipstance 2015-10-26 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's a good outlook.

And hey-- if these "Atroma" are able to kidnap people inter-dimensionally... maybe we can reverse engineer their technology when we find them. So you might get to see other planets after all.
resnipstance: eyebrow raise, smirk, smug (02)

Sounds like you'll have to get in line.
