| And time goes by |

William knew he could get answers from just sitting in the garden at the apartments, but he didn't want his girls nor Delilah from calling him silly for his nostalgia, and there were others at the sign that might have a different perspective.
So he was sitting on one of the big Nexus couches that never seemed affected by the weather, a coat bundled around him and a picture in his hand.
"I'm starting to realize what immortality might mean," he finally said. "Not yet, not truly, but my girls are growing- they're thirteen now. Joseph's eight. I can still remember when they were born, and here they are, teenagers and preteens growing into unique young people with opinions of their own. And boy, are the girls expressing those opinions, especially Emily. She's got a girl crush on someone in town, I don't know who, and I doubt Annamarie's far behind her in that area. My babies are growing up and I don't know what to do about it. Anyone else notice this sense of nostalgia as time goes by?" |

Lust has appeared again. He's perched on a Nexus Couch, looking around alertly and feeling twitchy. "What the hell has this place done to me? I've started thinking about shit not thought about in years. Decades, even." |

When Hohenheim found himself in the Nexus, the only sign of his surprise was a blink. He had previously been walking down a road as he travelled between towns, looking for any clue as to the whereabouts of his sons. This was a rather unexpected detour to say the least.
He gave the Sign a neutral look and thought about his question for a moment. "Say that you're looking for someone. Are there any resources in this place that may be of help?" |

| Return Of The Housewife. |

It's a year later, and Izumi has returned again. This time, she's dressed for the weather.
She took a seat, moving carefully, and thought about her question for awhile.
"Last time I was here, it was to ask about an idiot apprentince," she began. "Now I'm here to ask about what one does when there's nothing more for her to teach a former apprentince." |

While it's been less than a year in the Nexus, it's been several years for Lust. When he found himself in the Nexus again, he spent time wandering around looking at things, having more than half forgotten about the place.
When he's done doing that, he started pacing back and forth, agitated. "I wish she'd get the fuck over her obsession with him. He's dead and not coming back. Although I suppose it's to my advantage. If she did, she'd probably get bored and get rid of me."
He eyes the Sign from the corner of his eye in order to help reduce the headache looking at it gives him. "I don't even know what the fuck I want to ask. Why the hell do we have to ask something anyway?" |

"--is, honey?" a woman just walking into the Nexus says. When the change of locations registers, she comes to a halt and frowns. "What just happened?"
She looks at the sign, winces at the assault on her retinas and looks away. "A question, hmm? I believe the previous one can be skipped for now."
She folds her arms across her chest, looking distinctly unamused. "What do people think I should do about my idiot apprentice that disobeyed my teachings to run off and become a State Alchemist, therefore putting himself in the hands of the military?" |

| New arrival. |
[Sep. 24th, 2011|12:44 am] |
There is a new apparent Ed in the Nexus. He looks to be sixteen and doesn't have automail. He's wearing tight black shorts and no shirt. There's an ouroboros on the back of his right shoulder blade, but view of that is currently blocked by the back of the couch he's sitting on.
He watches the Nexus quietly for an hour or so, thinking of a question to ask.
"Do you ever wonder how things could have happened differently? And if you would even want them to do so?" he finally asks. |

Edward was holding a notebook, a pencil in his hand, awkwardly trying to draw a transmutation circle. The circle is sloppy and malformed, and finally, Edward gave up. "Has anyone here ever gone through physical therapy?" he asked. "Did you ever get frustrated by the lack of progress?" |

A door appears in the Nexus and swings out. A young man starts to walk through and freezes when he realizes that he was not where he should be.
He looks back on his own side of the door and sees the interior of his apartment. Back at the Nexus. Back at the apartment. Back at the Nexus again. "Where is the bedroom?" |
