*there's a new guy walking around fake Central. if one looks carefully, he kind of resembles the Ed Elric everyone knows, but... he's taller, his hair is cut short, he's got glasses on, and he's dressed in an overlarge red hoodie, jeans, and Converse hi-tops (of which one set of laces is undone). one hand is fiddling with a stylus to an iPad that he's quite obviously missing*

The hell kinda backwards town is this? Not a single internet cafe in sight and--

*he sniffs at the air, makes a face* ...What the fuck is that smell? Is that... fresh air...??

... I don't like it.

((have an AU Ed! he's completely modern day and makes a living as a hacker at the ripe age of 18. so he's none too pleased about this lack of technology. and he wants his iPad back. :3))

Superpowers. Let me guess, you're new?

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*and now that looks goes skeptical* Yeah.

...You're shittin' me. Superpowers? Of the comic book variety?

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

I see.

Yeah, more or less. [Pauses, and then starts putting the lampposts right.] But I'm not a Skrull. Just a parallel universe version of you. There's tons of us here.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*gives him the weirdest look EVER. LOOKS WHO'S MODERN ENOUGH TO KNOW MARVEL* Well, yeah, you're not green. What the hell're you pulling material from the Marvel comics for, anyway?

You're gonna have to come up with a better story than "parallel universe" if you want me to buy that even for a second.

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

[Slight twitch] They're not comics. Hell, there was a freaking Skrull at my school pretending to be me a few months ago.

Fine, you got an excuse if it's not parallel universes?

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*rolls eyes* Yeah, I'm totally buying the idea that you go to school with Teddy Altman.

Could be a dream. ...A very vivid dream, but a dream.

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Teddy Altman? Wait, that guy was a Skrull too?

Nope, I've been here months. Not a dream.

ohGod, HE'S SUCH A NERD XD;;

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

Duh!!! Next you're gonna tell me you didn't know he was gay? What kind of Marvel fan are you?

First of all, that could be an illusion of the dream. And second, I'm not exactly inclined to believe someone who clearly came out of somewhere in my imagination.

I NOTICED

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Hey, I barely knew the guy? How was I supposed to know he was-- I'm tellin you, it's not a comic book!

You can believe whatever you want, but it's not gonna change what's true.

o3o;;

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

Yeah it is. Look, I can prove it-- *starts patting himself down in search of his iPhone, but... it seems to be missing* ...Oh perfect. A dream that won't give me the shit I wanna have. Awesome.

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Oh, how convenient. [SHRUGS DRAMATICALLY] I can prove everything I'm saying, but you're the one who's telling the truth.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*keeps searching for his stuff, since if it's really a dream it should eventually appear even though it won't* You wouldn't be a very convincing part of my dream if you couldn't prove it, now would you?

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Uh, wasn't I just doing that?

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

... You mean the metal thing? You were doing that? So you're, what, Magneto or something?

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

No, Magneto's a douchebag. I just control metal, not electromagnetism.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*blinks... then BURSTS OUT LAUGHING* That's fuckin' sweet!

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Yeah, isn't it? [grin grin] It's not alchemy, but it's hella useful.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

Alchemy? What's that got anything to do with bending metal?

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

Absolutely nothing, but the people around here act like it's the most important thing ever. Even most other usses.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*quirks an eyebrow* ... Riiiiight. Well. They're obviously insane.

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

My thoughts exactly. [Finally!]

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

Yeah...





So what now? Are we joining up with the rest of the X-Men?

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

What, them? No, I'm just a student. The teachers flipped their lids last time we tried doing anything actually productive.

[phullm374l.livejournal.com]

*snorts* That's the education system for you. Dumb as always.

[tsukiyabure.livejournal.com]

All we did was steal the Blackbird. [grumble]
