Ah, hi! You've reached Alphonse. I'm sorry, but I can't get to you right now. Leave me a message and I'll respond as soon as I can!

Al!

[The first thing Alphonse might recognize in his brother's voice is relief - or it could be how absolutely breathless he sounds, as if he had just been running, or is running while leaving the message.]

What the hell's going on here? Everything looks pretty normal, but I don't see the building-

[Actually. You know what would be shorter?]

Where are you staying now?

[seekingbody]

Brother!

[ There's no mistake, that's definitely Ed. And he seems to remember being here before, which is good. ]

Enveria Apartments. It's in the residential district. Do you remember where that is?

[theignorantfool]

Yeah, I'll find it.

[A pause.]

Are you there now? I could use an update on what's changed again.

[At least this time he's aware that he was gone by the time he contacts Al. Two years was a long time to miss with no concept of having lost a day.]

Or I could meet you somewhere.

[seekingbody]

I am...

[ This is... a strange conversation, really. ]

Er...

[ How best to approach telling Ed that Hughes used to live here as well? ]

Meet me here. A lot has changed.

[theignorantfool]

[There is no best approach, little brother. Good luck.

ALSO THAT IS THE MOST REASSURING STATEMENT EVER.

Ed is resisting the urge to say "A lot like what?", because a whole lot didn't seem to have changed about the landscape, at any rate.

It's not like the giant floating castle disappearing anyway.]


I'm heading that way now.

[He's going to be late.]

[seekingbody]

[ Sorry... not quite sure how else to say any of this. ]

Okay. Call if you get lost.

[ Meanwhile, he'll just sit here and contemplate how to tell Ed all these things. ]
