Have an(other) Elric, Nexus!
There is an Edward Elric in the Nexus, studying The Sign. This one seems different -- maybe not as much as ~~the genderswapped ones~~ some. Is it the fact his coat looks more like a robe? Is it the fact he's merely 'on the short side' rather than 'fullmetal chibi'? Is it that both of his hands appear to be flesh?

Maybe it's the antennae -- not just a stray bit of hair sticking out of his bangs, but two thin, almost insectlike strands poking out from within his hair.

"Where..." he shook his head. "No, I don't want that to be my question. I'm looking for someone. Can anyone help me out here?"

	Edward gives his alternate a look that asks him very clearly how stupid he thought Edward was. "You know damn well what." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ed pretends to remember something he forgot. "Oh, right. Breaking people's brains. It is rather fun."

Ed shrugs. "Hey, a guy has to have hobbies. And it's not like I spend all my time breaking people's minds."

	"Just enough to make everyone wanna throttle you," Edward says, grinning. "You're definitely an Elric, you're a brat." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"You realize that you just called yourself a brat too?" Ed points out grinning before shrugging. "Goes to show how much I've improved actually, compared to how I was when I first got here."

	Edward grins. "I never denied being a brat," he says. "And yeah, it does. It's good to see, too." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ed shivers. "I never want to be like that again. Granted, I still have my moments when someone manages to poke the wrong button... And now that I think about it, I wonder if my recent round of mind-breaking is me making up for my not doing that sort of thing for some time. 'Cause I swear, I am capable of acting like a normal adult sometimes."

	"Sometimes," Edward echoes rather blandly. Then he smiles. "It's an improvement though, so keep breaking brains. Glad to see you're doing better than you had been, though. Really, it is." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Heh. Thanks. My acting like a normal person tends to be when you aren't around to see, by the way."

Ed grins. "That's what you get for being a hermit. I'm more social, so I spend more time out in the Nexus."

	Edward frumps. "I am not a hermit," he protests. "I get out! I just don't get away from the grounds much because I'm busy taking care of that place for all of you ungrateful brats," he says, completely without seriousness. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Uh-huh," Ed says dryly. "Just in case I haven't told you before, I know of at least one time when my Al and Sarah were tempted to do the 'carrot with a stick' thing to lure you outside, except using an alchemy book instead of the carrot."

	Edward had not heard about this. He stares at his alternate for a second. Then he introduces his hand to his face. "I'm gonna throttle them." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Please don't. Because then I'll have to throttle you, your own Al and certain others will feel compelled to do the same to me, and it'll be a big mess," Ed says mildly. "You can do the 'random training session' thing to Sarah though. She knows to expect those from my brother and I now. So you sending her sailing through the air ought to come as a surprise."

	Edward looks at his alternate for a second. "So I can't throttle her, but I can randomly send her flying? You have weird standards." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Well, I guess I can go looking for a version of Teacher instead..." A beat. "Or not. I want Sarah to learn how to defend herself, not be petrified into immobility."
