[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...

If you're the same as me, then that has to be more than six years. And I'm guessing you don't know why you forgot either. Is your brother here to help explain it to you?

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

Between five and six, actually.
...*looks at hands* My body doesn't show it at all, though, does it?

That's just it! I've spent the past two years trying to find him. And then I did yesterday!
And then I was following him back to across the gate and ended up here, and I haven't seen him since.

He was missing for two years?

I've seen a few Eds here, but that isn't very helpful when I can't even tell them apart. Since you were going to the same place, there's a good chance he'll show up. Or we could get really lucky and actually find the way out of here.

*nods* Everyone kept on trying to convince me that he'd died......

Where are you from? What's your nii-san like?

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

But you found him, right? Why was he gone so long?

I'm from a place called Melior, but I guess you haven't heard of it either. Your story sounds a lot like mine, so my brother probably isn't too different from the one you know. He's pretty short-tempered and reckless most of the time, but he's a good person. And really small. He's working in the military right now, so we don't get to see each other much.

He disappeared when he brought me back.
...the gate took him to another world.


Yeah... that sounds like my nii-san.... ^^:
Why don't you see him much? Mine was n the millitary too, but everyone says we were insepearable.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Another world? I guess I shouldn't be surprised at this point. At least he managed to come back.

Brother and I used to be together a lot, but he's been assigned to one of Ivona's strictest airships. I'd draw too much attention there, so we've been working separately.

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

What's Ivona?

...isn't it hard?


Yeah, but I've lost him again.

[its-a-hobby.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry! Ivona's the name of our country. And it isn't so bad. I've made a lot of new friends since then, and we got to see each other last week when we were both in Bellcius for the holiday. I do worry about him getting in trouble without me there to keep an eye on him... but there isn't much I can do about it now.

I'm sure you'll find him again. And if there's anything I can do to help you while I'm here, just let me know.

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

I've met lots of new friends too, but I still always worry about my nii-san.

Thanks....
If there's anything I can do too, please let me know.
