*Ed paused, pulling the jacket around her frame more tightly and staring at the sign in disbelief. Central? How'd she get back here? She'd been in Risembool, helping Alphonse strengthen his body now that he was restored to normal. Someone didn't just miss a trip into another city like that.

And whatever this crap was about Central being fake... Well, who the hell went around making joke signs like that? This was almost as weird as that dream she had- where she met two male versions of herself... Bastards. Ed sighed, deciding the best way to get answers would be to find the Colonel and straighten all of this out. That shouldn't be too hard, being in Central, right? So, setting her hands in her pockets with an exasperated look around, she started towards HQ*

[ooc: Okay, so. Ed, she doesn't usually go by Edward, because it's not her name - but will if asked, or referred to as such... Is technically a transboy (boy born in a girl's body. Or girl born who identifies as male/thinks of herself as boy. Whichever works for you.) She hates that she's female, and doesn't tend to admit it. And, uh... resents any male counterparts, because. Well, they got born with the body, and she didn't. In this reality, she believes that she's come straight from Risembool, and the

niflheim_rpg history was a dream... Her info's in her bio. I think that covers everything. *Posts longer OOC note than RP, yes.*]

....Edward?

*Another one...oh boy.*

*She turned around at the sound of someone's voice, mouth opening to respond when golden eyes fell on the boy. Why did... he look so much like her brother?*

Yeah-?

...So you're another one?

.... Another what? And, who are you?

...I guess you haven't been here for very long...

As the sign in the center of Central says, there are duplicates of each other running around.

...

I'm Alfons Heiderich.

So, what? Someone who's... supposedly 'me' from another world? ~~Doesn't that sounds familiar...~~

*She actually smiled at the introduction. Something about a person named any variety of 'Alphonse' seemed at least remotely trustworthy* And, I'm assuming you know who I am, by your... initial question, huh?

Yes. It's a bit hard to take in, I'll admit... ~~Trust me, you'll be frightened when you see the Princess-Edward...complete with dress and male physique.~~

*Alfons smiles at the woman as well, at least trying not to ogle the fact that dear God this was a woman Edward and she was NOT in a dress (unlike the Princess Edward...)...*

Yeah, something like that.

Somehow... The concept isn't entirely too strange to me. *She answered with a small smirk. Oh, it would be fun explaining that one.. wouldn't it? She thought dully, hoping that the boy wouldn't bother to ask. ~~I'm already frightened...~~

*She pulled the trenchcoat around her a little tighter, not entirely aware that this boy was already on to the fact that she was a girl.* So. How long have you been in this... fake Central, Alfons?

*Sighing, Alfons gave her a small, if not thin smile.*

It's not completely strange to me, either, I'm afraid...but you probably don't want to hear about it. It's a long story. ~~Yes. Yes, it's horribly frightening.~~

...Not too long. I have to admit, it's much better than the world that I came out of...

Oh? *Oh, Alfons. Now you have her attention* Actually, I'd like to hear it... I'm apparently not going anywhere for awhile, right? So I have plenty of time for a story.

..............

*Alfons can't look her in the eye. He's unable to. It's hard, really...*

I'm....

......

*To be honest, he's not sure how to start this. How do you go around saying that you have died a total of 57 times? All in not-so-nice ways?*

........

Do you think a man would go crazy if he was forced to live and die many many times, without being truly able to die?

*Golden eyes blinked at the stranger's sudden confession, and Ed watched the boy with a grim expression before shaking her head.* I think... It would depend on the person, actually. I can't imagine it's the- healthiest experience, but... I'm under the impression 'normal' is a little hard to come by.

So, Alfons... Are you trying to tell me that you die repeatedly, but continue to come back every time?

............

*Alfons nods slowly. It's truly hard to express it, even now, after he's said it to several. He'd have thought his curse...his punishment...having it out in the open would make it hurt less, but...alas...*

....Yes.

I'm ... sorry *She murmured, lowering her gaze briefly. After a moment she looked up at him once more, expression set with something akin to determination.* ... Do you know why you.. Can't die?

.........

*Alfons smiles, or tries to...but it becomes more of one of those smiles that you see before one starts to cry, rather than a real smile. It had been a while since Alfons had smiled really and truly...and hadn't been heartbroken aftewards. He looked at Edward, doing his best to keep his gaze on her.*

...I have something I have to do in my world. And until I do it, I'll keep dying and being reborn until I finish it.

Edward?

*Wrath could see them in the distance, and from where stood could see no glint of yellow post-it. Not that most of the Ed's had staid tagged, to his displeasure. Still, he bounded after them, skidding around the other, turnign to study them.*

.... That seems to be a pretty common question around here. *She answered flatly, folding her arms across her chest and studying the boy.*

Oh...you're not My Edward. But that's alright.

*He added with a small chuckle, eying her curiously. The pencil was tugged from behind his ear, his precious post-it's (which were dwindling in numbers) slipped from his shirt. Quickly he scratched out the words, pasting the paper onto the new Ed's arm.*

*Ed looked down at the bright yellow paper, as it was pressed to her arm, in sheer confusion* What the hell is that supposed to mean?

You're supposed to keep it. But some of the other Ed's are stupid and don't do that. ...and I'm running out of these sticky paper things...

*he added sullenly. It lasted only a moment before he glanced back to Ed, smirking.*

Ne ne~ So just keep it, okay!

Sure kid, no problem. *she wasn't sure how long the flimsy paper was going to last there, but she might as well humor him for awhile. He didn't really seem like a bad kid, so what harm could it do?*

What's your name?

Oh...I'm Wrath.

*Edward had been out on his way for another pack of cigarettes when he heard the vaguely familiar voice. That kid... The one who took his post-it notes. The blond couldn't help but smile slightly to himself over the whole ordeal before deciding that he could afford a pit-stop before heading to the store. It wasn't like he was craving nicotine right now, anyway.*

Hey kid. *He called in greet, hands - as always - slipped into the pockets of his labcoat* How're the Post-Its holding up?

Edward!

*He whirled, fixing a grin on his face at the sight of one of the Ed's he liked. Taller than the others, and the one who had given him his precious yellow sticky papers!*

...Huh...*At the question he glanced down. Five small sheets left. He held them up, peering at Edward through messy black hair, grinning.*

*He blinked when the kid turned, calling his name like that. Well, at this point it was pretty clear when an Ed was an Ed, wasn't it? The whole duplicate wasn't nearly as weird anymore- in fact... what was weirdest to Ed was definitely the fact that he was growing quite accustomed to it*

Hey~ *he answered with a grin, even though he'd taken a split second to wonder if this was a case of mistaken identity. Unless you counted the original theft... They'd only really met once. But then, Wrath was on track, and Ed realized - rolling his eyes at his own stupidity - that he ... sort of stuck out, in the painted labcoat. Not to mention, even if he wore an identical outfit to another Edward here... He couldn't even pretend to be that small* I don't have many more to give you... but maybe we can think of something else, what do you think?

*Wrath decided that he liked this Edward. Not nearly as much as his guardian...but he approved of him, all the same. After all, he'd given him the sticky paper. The post-it's.*

Okay. I like them. *He paused for a moment, searchign his memory before turning back to watch him.*

Thank you

*She watched the exchange between them without saying anything. Clearly this Edward knew the kid, and somehow that struck her as more surprising than the fact that there was a boy standing there that looked -exactly- like her... save height. The blonde exhaled almost irritably, trying to remember the conversation she'd had with the other Eds, and Tachiko... Maybe all of that wasn't a dream, after all?*

*Ed was about to open her mouth to speak, to question one of them about what the hell was going on here when she noticed there was -another- boy nearby that resembled her and the other Ed. She exhaled slowly, muttering under her breath* Oh great.. Not again.

*Edward hadn't moved from his position not far away from the others. He hadn't spoken to bring attention to himself, because Wrath didn't look like he needed help in the situation - but Ed liked to be close... Just incase. The blond tensed slightly when the shorter of the duplicates looked directly at him, frowning before coming closer- if only to look less rude, for simply standing there watching them*

Wrath.. *He'd heard most of the conversation, and almost found it hard to believe that the taller boy was so laid back about it - but that wasn't really his concern. His concern was the homunculus* I can make more for you, if you want... Just let me see the ones you have left. *he turned to the boy then, tilting his head and adding.* .. I can make some for you, too - with enough material.

Edward!

*It was really becoming a standard greeting for Wrath towards his Edwards. He flashed a grin at the taller one before moving towards his Ed's side.

You can...? *Immediately his attention was riveted in place, holding up what was left of the post-it's for Edward to take. Of course he could! He was bemused that the idea had slipped his mind.

Will these be enough? *He wanted to know, peering at them in an almost anxious manner.*

*Edward smiled at the offer, shrugging both shoulders up to his ears in response* I'm good with the ones I have, thanks...

*The smile spread to a grin then, at the young boy's excitement - watching the other two.* Make sure you get him plenty, though- he's going to need them.

Okay, these post its are win, just so you know. :v

Why thank you! :D

*peaks from behind Roger. Watches the blonde. He is a child who likes to observe things...despite refusing to wear his glasses. 8|*

.... *Her expression softened at the sight of the small child. He was older than Nina, but still- seeing children in general had a way of reminding her of those days, and stopping her dead in her tracks.* Hey there. *She said softly, smiling to the boy.* You're not lost, are you?

N-No, not really. I'm staying over there. *he points to a flower shop down the street* With an older Roy and an older me!

Older verions.. huh? *The blonde paused thoughtfully, trying to imagine bumping into a child-version of anyone she knew. Brushing that thought away as something she'd rather not visit in this lifetime.*

Well, that's good. That you have someplace to stay.

*watches her for a minute...oi. Another Ed. -_-; One that isn't his. Again. And judging by her scent, female.*

*sighs and turns to walk away. He's getting tired and heartbroken watching all these other Eds. D:*

[smoking a cigarette while reading the paper]

Hey kid. Lost?

I'm not a kid! .... Although- I am admittedly a little new here.. I wouldn't say I'm, so much lost, either. Just- very very confused.

*smirking a little he just kind of observed the comings and goings now, leaning against this corner and that, making sure child!Maes stayed out of trouble, amused by his female!self.*

((OOC: A trans!ed! now THAT is original, never seen that one before *Hugs for creativity!*))

*Ed noticed Havoc standing nearby, and remembering the sign doubted it was going to be the one that she knew. However, maybe if he'd already been here awhile she'd get lucky, and he'd know something about this place* H-Havoc...?

[ooc: Thanks! I love my trans!ed. Hopefully, you'll never see it again, I like being unique~ There's a complicated story about why I wound up creating her, but it was basically to counter the bad name genderswap has in my circle of friends.]

He blinked at the edward, and sighed, pushing off the wall* Come on Kid. *He dropped the butt and stepped it out.* Lets go get you settled in the inn, then I'll try and explain it to ya. *He wasnt sure if this was his ed or not, but hey, why not be helpful and at least a little useful right?*

((It just warms me to see one *hugs!*))

*Ed's head tilted at that response, but she followed after Havoc gratefully.* Thanks, I... What the hell is going on here?

[ooc: somehow I think the female one will be receieved better than the male one... but I should be bringing him in too, at some point.]

You look like you don't believe the sign. *watches her*

You like like you're offended that I might not. *She answered him, regarding the other almost cautiously.*

I'm not offended. But what's written there is still true.

All right. I'll just take your word for it, then.
