[Ed's looking- well, slightly annoyed for Ed, pissed off to anyone that doesn't know him - and not really looking straight forward. He took his time to explore and get comfortable with the communicator before attempting to use the damn thing. The idea of alternate worlds and different uses of technology isn't entirely foreign to him, but he's not going to pretend to just be okay with this new development. In fact, he's really not okay with it at all.]

All right, so it wasn't a dream. I get it. I'm a sinner and a criminal, and I deserve to be here. Wherever the hell here is, but if the guy in charge is so flawless - what is he doing capturing little kids?

[Leave it to Ed to forget that he probably would have qualified to be here at the age of ten. The last part is mumbled to himself as he pulls the communicator off again.]

And if it is- it's... another world without alchemy.


[ooc: Okay so. I did intentionally wait to post, because I wanted Ed to have some IC time to inspect the communicator and everything before actually using it, but then my life got really insane for about a week, so my putting it off a day stretched... forever. I'm really sorry about that guys, but he's in now so- hopefully I didn't mess anything up.]

[ for a while, over the communicator, there's just discordant humming. it might sound like an error. it goes on for almost a minute. then there's a pause, and a woman's voice murmurs almost huskily: ]

Pretty colors, pretty colors, little butterfly.

[ for those who want action, Agatha is hanging around near the butterfly pavilion. she keeps reaching her hands out for the colorful insects that swarm around her head. there are bots nearby, but they aren't particularly responsive to attempts to engage them in conversation. ]

[There's a gentle voice drifting over the network, sounding tired, almost exceedingly so. Her tone seems to almost echo with the emptiness of the space around her and Juri sighs] Goodness. Such an exciting last few days...

[Haruka... Haruka, too.]

[Another sigh] Of course, the way things have been, it's not surprising. I suppose perhaps we should have been expecting it. Perhaps...

[Finally there's a long pause]

Hmph.

How very rude it is, I should think, to leave two lovely ladies alone in such a big house. Not even Ruka-chan to keep us company.

[After setting plans, Euphie walked down to the beach to meet Gino. Once she reached the sand she took off her shoes and carried them, preferring the feel on her bare feet. It's a nice evening.]


(OOC: Backdated to before dinner. Euphie is meeting Gino and his puppy. You can feel free to run into her beforehand or run into them for a bit if you like. First thread is theirs.)

[There's such a long pause it's not even funny.]

Er... I was kinda wondering. Could -    If -   Maybe -

[Poor kid doesn't really know how to ask for help. Mini growl!]

Screw it.
