Tenth Transmutation [Video]

Who: Alphonse Elric and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Vanquish if you wish
When: October 23rd

[Al smiles bashfully as he addresses the Fleet.]

Clay asked me to be the First Mate of the Vanquish, and I've accepted. It seems fitting that it happened so close to my first anniversary here, doesn't it? I'm honored, and I'll do my best to keep supporting my shipmates.

I'm glad to have been on such a great ship and met such great friends, and I wish all of you who are working on the shipwreck the best of luck. And if you're staying closer to the Fleet and are able to scavenge any usable ship parts, I'd be happy to fix them up with my alchemy.

Trust me, even good heads need a smack - or a very firm glare as I'm used to.

Ah, by the way, thank you for those arm bands you made me for the last set of planets. They definitely came in handy.

I'll have to practice my scowl, then. I have trouble looking fierce.

Not a problem! Did you end up settling on one faction, or were you able to pick and choose?

I think the one-eyebrow arched look would work for you. Just keep the rest of your face immobile and move the eyebrow. It's quite effective.

No, I switched them out depending on what planet I was on. I wasn't trying to go deep into any one faction, so they worked for skimming just fine.

Oh, I hadn't even thought of that. Sometimes less is more, and I think if I tried to look fierce, it'd just end up looking funny.

That's good- and it's why I wanted to try and offer an out to anyone who didn't want to commit. They took their divisions pretty seriously.

I hate to agree - but yes, just a little. Single arched eyebrow is the way to go for you, I think.

They certainly did. Thankfully I don't think they were to worried about us visitors so I got away with switching as needed. Just don't carry the other colors on you.

[sonofgold]

Subtle, yet effective. I'll have to practice that.

[Al nodded.]

I guess they figured that they could cut us a bit more slack since we didn't know their traditions and reasons behind the divisions like them. Still, people had to be careful or they'd get thrown in space jail.

[universal_charm]

Oh yes, I know they did. One of my friends ended up in jail, somehow, which I think is actually rather impressive all things told since it was with the fun-loving group.

[sonofgold]

Seriously? Whatever he did to get jailed must have been pretty bad.

[universal_charm]

I don't actually know what he did, I just know he ended up there.

[sonofgold]

I'm surprised it didn't happen to more of us, honestly.
