To the residents of this unique hospital:

I'm looking for anyone that's heard of the countries Xing and/or Amestris.

Also, if at all possible, if you've heard the names Edward and Alphonse Elric, I would like to be pointed in their direction.

Who's looking?

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

A friend, that's all. I have a few questions for them.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

I'm fairly sure Ed doesn't know anyone with your name.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Ed, is that you? Don't play around like that. I need to talk to you.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

So what if it is? I've never heard of you before in my life.

Edward Elric

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

...This joke is getting old. How can you say that?

Unless I have the wrong Edward Elric.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Because it's the truth.

There isn't another Edward Elric from Amestris with a brother called Alphonse here. I'd know.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Hardly. Unless, you've suddenly forgotten our deal recently as well as the fight with the homunculi?

...Have you been here long?

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

What deal? And me and Al fought the homunculi. I've never even heard of you.

I've been here just about two weeks.

[captain-hunam.livejournal.com]

Not to intrude, but if you've been here two weeks, wouldn't you have heard or read something about people coming from different points in time, but from the same place?

Maybe you just haven't met Ling yet.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

I know what happens in my future enough to know that I can't have met him in my future if he's from Amestris.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Different points in time?

-Ling

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

People come from different points in time. Like Mustang comes from further ahead than me. He remembers more than I do. And Al knew more when he was here too.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

...How is such a thing possible?

The Colonel is here, as well?

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

I don't know. It just happens a lot.

Him and a few others.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Hn.

Really? Who else is here?

....Winry isn't, is she!? Wait you said your brother was here?

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Hughes and Lust and Scar are here. But also Gluttony and Envy. Hawkeye was here, but I haven't seen her in ages.

Al isn't here anymore, and I've never seen Winry here.

Wha How can tha That basta-

[Somewhat coherent but still shaky]

Gluttony and Envy!?

Re: Strikes heavily scribbled out.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

That's what I said. At least Lust can keep Gluttony under control so that's alright.

Hi!

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

[A half started scribble]

[canieathim.livejournal.com]

Hello?

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

You.

[canieathim.livejournal.com]

Me!

[muted-flame.livejournal.com]

While I may be from further along in time, I'm afraid to say I haven't heard of you, either.

I think I may have an idea of what's going on, though.

--Colonel Mustang

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Colonel Mustang! ..Ah, you don't know me either?

You do? Please explain, if you will. This is stating to get worrisome.

-Ling Yao

[muted-flame.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it would be better if I met up with you and Edward later on, if I can make it.

--Colonel Mustang

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Right. If not, perhaps the next ...'shift'? Over, yes?

- Ling Yao

[muted-flame.livejournal.com]

When we're both free. I tend to have a lot of "appointments" booked, but try to find me.

--Colonel Mustang

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

I'll do my best.

- Ling Yao

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

This public board isn't the place to continue this discussion. If you're willing to meet up, I can try and clear this up the best I can.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Fine. I have to meet someone next shift though.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm unfamiliar with how this place works. When would be a good time?

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Lunch or the shift afterwards I'm probably free unless something important comes up. I assume you'll recognise me.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

Lunch it is then!

And yes, I should be able to find you.

[lost-metal.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[crimson-handed.livejournal.com]

Looks like everyone else's got you covered.

[kingofthepeople.livejournal.com]

It would appear so! Hopefully this mess will get sorted out.
