[he's randomly doodling arrays in chalk all over the HQ square, knowing full well that he cannot activate them. he's currently wearing his own clothes and whistling.]

I wish I knew why my bluebird never needed an array. And why I miss this disgusting alchemy so...

Okay. There are actually a lot of things I'd like to ask you.

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

...any idea where we can go?

[penurium.livejournal.com]

It's not any of your business.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Um, not really, this is the first time I've been... wherever this is. What about you?

[can-i-keep-it.livejournal.com]

....umm... would an alleyway be ok? Otherwise......

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes. You know him?

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

... you ...

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

...familiar, is he not?

[omgwtfwrench.livejournal.com]

I do not, I'm just slightly puzzled. I never really got alchemy but...why would your bird need an array to begin with?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

I am not drawing on myself! These are marks of the Gate.

...

...you are a different one.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

But Al is... I just saw him, he's...

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

It is metaphorical.

I cannot - will not perform alchemy, anyway.

[Nods and heads for the nearest secluded alley-type place, looking around to be sure they're alone.]

I don't suppose you have any idea what's going on here, do you?

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

This place draws people from different times, it seems.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

*swearing under his breath* Stay away from him.

[corrupted-steel.livejournal.com]

No.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Brother? At least you remember me, right?

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

How many ways do I have to say it before I get it through your thick skull?!

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I guess I've gotten you confused with someone else. It's hard to believe the world can handle more than one of you.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Of course I do, Al! Good to see you're okay.

But where's Reial?

[omgwtfwrench.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. Pardon. This place brings more and more surprises.

(( oh! I'm looking back now since I knew your sn looked familiar and I see you once responded to me on ic_secrets. Sorry I never got back to you but I forgot about that comment and by the time I noticed it was kinda late D8;; ))

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

It's good to see you too, but how you can you not know--

...Oh, don't tell me there are three of you.

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Yep. Four if you count that Pride bastard.

You're... a different Al, aren't you?

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it looks like it. I'm guessing you've never heard of the Victoria II?

[nearerthesun.livejournal.com]

Nope. Have you ever heard of Rizenbul, or alchemy?
