Seventh Transmutation [Video]

Who: Alphonse Elric and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Vanquish if you really want?
When: April 14th

[A rather disgusted-looking Al is holding up what looks like a stack of magazines when he turns the camera on.]

Today, our lovely sponsors have sent me a stack of armor catalogs. I guess they figured that I miss my armor and would want to wear a set again... but I don't, really. I found a way to reuse my old body for other things back home, so I don't need to buy more. But that's not all... [He holds up a few images of a boy roughly his age and height modeling a very gaudy outfit.] They also want me to dress for this upcoming huge party, I guess. I don't know, do you all think I would look good in this outfit?

Absolutely!

Okay so first off, girls really, really like it when you show them you admire and respect them. Don't just say they have pretty eyes or something, compliment them on a skill or suchlike. Show them that you're actually interested in what they do.

Hmmm, that makes sense... especially because I know a lot of warrior women who don't really put much stock in their looks. Like, I can't imagine Teacher's husband attracted her attention that way, but if he complimented her ability to fight or her alchemy... that'd reach her faster.

I don't have any prospects here right now, but I'll be sure to ask you for more advice if I do, love-teacher.

Sounds like you have a pretty awesome teacher. But yeah, warrior ladies, they prefer more substantial flirting, you know? I know Suki does.

Please do, you know I'll be able to turn you into a real Casanova in no time.

Put it this way- Teacher is the only person Brother and I are scared of. I love her and have nothing but respect for her, but she's not the kind of person to underestimate.

I'd say I'd become the ladies' man and make Brother jealous at all the attention I'm getting, but he's only ever had eyes for Winry. And obviously a suit of armor is a little hard to ask on a date.

Heh, she really sounds like my girlfriend.

He'll probably be a little bit jealous anyway. And you're still you, armor or not. That's what you gotta sell. Who you are.

I wish I could meet Suki. I'm sure you'd love to see her, too, huh?

[Al nodded.]

I at least managed to never scare kittens off when I was armor, so that was something.

[Such a dreamy sigh. ] Yeaaaah. I really miss her. And you'd love her. She's great. She's the greatest.

And here's me thinking kittens were the easiest frightened animal ever. Goes to show you.

[Al simply smiled at the first part.]

I think animals either liked me because I was gentle or respected me because I never shied away if they tried to hurt me. I could stay on their level and not flinch, which can be important when trying to connect. Plus, I could shelter them from the elements.

Huh. Can't say I'm that great with animals beyond Appa and Momo. Animals are more a food thing for me than a pet thing.

Yeah, I can see that. What kind of animals are Momo and Appa?

Momo is a flying lemur and Appa is a sky bison. They're animals usually found around the air temples. They can both fly, which is pretty neat. We ride around on Appa a lot.

Whoa- a bison that can fly? I can't even imagine that! And he's big enough to ride?

Yep! They use airstreams or....something. They're the original airbenders.

And he's huge! Kind of obvious when we were trying to be stealthy. but he's the most comfortable ride you'd ever want.

Wow... [Al sounds awed.] Your world sounds pretty great in general. All we had were trains and cars.

We don't have cars where I'm from...not trains either, really. Our technology is only just starting to move on to that kinda level. In a couple years? Maybe.

It seems strange to have those when you can just fly on a bison, though!

Well, that's the problem. Appa's the only one left. The air nomads were wiped out, and the bison went with them.

[He doesn't realise yet that's not true, and there's another herd out there. One day! ]

Oh...

[Al was quiet for a while after that.]

That's... very sad.

Yeah, it was pretty awful, what happened to all of them, and the air nomads.

It was just... a mess.

Was there a war? [He's reminded a little of the Ishbalans, if so.]

Yeah. One that lasted a hundred years. Me and my friends, we were part of the force to end it. It's been over for three years, back home now, but there's a lot of rebuilding to be done. A lot of damage was done, after all.

That sounds a bit like my world... our country had been at war off and on over the centuries, including when Brother and I were little. Peace definitely requires a lot of hard work.

Sorry to hear that buddy, it's not anything I'd wish on anyone.

It sure does, we'll be working at it for a while, I think.

Same to you. But in the end, the peace will hopefully be worth it.

Absolutely. And it sounds like we've all been waiting long enough for it to happen.
