yo, okay, so: hear me out

maybe i am going way too west side story with this, but i've really been thinking about it and does anyone think we could make a good show of family loyalty by some kind of stand against an opposing one???

obviously we don't have to REALLY hurt each other or anything, just, kinda, make it look like it. like a flash mob only with less dancing. unless you wanna dance and i guess then i wouldn't stop you i am just not sure how many points you'd get with the big guns with dance moves. unless they're really good dance moves. or the other families seem more into that sort of thing but lionetta is kinda not that vibe just saying wait what was i saying

right. flash mob. that's like, more of an actual mob. only with fake fighting. like wwe. just maybe don't hit anybody with chairs. or maybe you can, just ask first?

y/n/peter that is a seriously terrible idea? i dunno it was just a thought and i guess now that i thought it with my earpiece in all of you have to hear it sorry about that

oh yeah my name is peter, so, uh, hi i guess.

( and with that, Peter either physically took out his ear piece or spontaneously managed to stop thinking. I don't know about you, but I'm really guessing it wasn't the second one. )

Fifteen.

[Yes. Ed is a baby. Especially compared to most everyone else around. As one of the youngest it is no real surprise others have tried to keep an eye on him with the missions and all.]

[webdesigned]

that's not that young. but i get why people wouldn't vibe with listening to a teenager.

( as a teenager, who also is pretty used to adults not listening to him. granted he's 19 now, closer to an adult than a teenager anymore. )

[chrysology]

I'm used to it. But at least back home, generally, people have heard of me and will listen. Here, that isn't necessarily the case without my usual reputation preceding me.

[The reputation of being the People's Alchemist. The prodigy.

Though. Here, Al isn't around to be mistaken for him. There is that. Ed still misses his brother every minute though.]

[webdesigned]

i guess you'll have to build up your rep all over again, but maybe not having a rep will turn out to be a good thing.

[chrysology]

I mean, I think regardless I'll end up with some sort of reputation among these guys. Maybe different to the one I had back home but still.

[Hopefully no repeats of the likes of dealing with poor Mei and her broken dreams as her illusions of him from the stories she heard shattered upon meeting him in person......]

[webdesigned]

maybe. i'm not sure i'd want things here to be like they were at home. too nostalgic or homesick or something, you know?

[chrysology]

Things back home were. Complicated. But. I have a promise to keep and if this is what it takes. I'll do it. For Al.

He's the only thing I'm homesick for.

[.....okay and missing Winry. But it isn't like he's about to actually admit that!]

[webdesigned]

whatever you're here for, i hope it works out.

[chrysology]

I'm here for my brother. But, you too. Whatever your regret is.

[webdesigned]

thanks. me too.

( speaking of secrets he's not ready to share, what he's doing here is one of them. sorry, you got a few social links to go for that one, Ed. )

[chrysology]

We're all here for a reason. As long as we can work together and get through the missions. You don't have to tell me. I haven't exactly gone around telling everyone my reasons. But if and when you want to, if and when you're ready.

[webdesigned]

i, uh... thanks. it's not personal, you seem cool and all, i just...

( tell people??? about his superpowers? ?? ? ?? on purpose??? no that social link has yet to be unlocked. )

[chrysology]

I get it. There's some stuff I'm not sure on blabbing either. Probably everyone's got at least one thing they'd prefer to keep to themselves. When -- if ever you're ready to tell whoever here to help you out, or just listen. Not like it bothers me, as long as I know you've got my back with the missions.

[webdesigned]

i know I seem like some random guy but i've got your back. 🤘

[chrysology]

Then that's the important thing. All that really matters, that we help each other out to get the orb and so we all survive the missions.

[webdesigned]

that i am good for. promise.

( he's not used to being a team player, but Peter is also determined to be a good one. )

[chrysology]

At the end of the day. That's the goal. Get the orb. And surviving. So we can fix things, whatever it is we regret that landed us here in the first place. We probably all have things, all have people waiting for us to get back to them.

[That's it. All there is to it. They just want to fix things. Whatever it is they regret. And this is what they have to do to figure that. It's been Ed's life since that fateful day years ago when he attempted to bring Trisha back.]
