[Waking up in a patch of grass in the middle of the woods is more of a relief than it might normally have been for Edward, or anyone else for that matter. The last memory he has of himself in his right mind is of the Malnosso, and their strange and terrifying ability to summon Lunar Rain seemingly out of nowhere. After that, he'd...

...He'd done terrible, shameful things, and he had far too much to apologize for. Which he should get right on doing.

Except he's completely lacking the level of courage needed to do that, so for a while he just sits in the grass, legs tucked against his chest, and watches the sun rise through the trees. It's... the east, right? So that means he's...

....

He has no idea where he is. Where's that journal...?]


...I... I'm in need of assistance.


[He finally returns and all he can do is ask for directions? Pathetic.

Though it'll take him some time to get home and then find the courage to do what he knows has to be done, over the course of the day he'll be attempting to visit two spots: the smithy and Winry's house, specifically, if he can't find her in the plaza. If he happens upon anyone he attacked while he was vermified, he's definitely going to apologize, too.]

[...Grumble.]

Didn't you just get here? What do you know about the Malnosso?

[Action]

[He knows enough to be worried about it, Ed. When the name Malnosso popped up, it was never about anything good.]

I've been here a week and I've talked to a few people.

[Action]

[vermified]

[True enough. Now he has to angryface at people for giving Capell something to worry about.]

...It doesn't matter. I'm back now, so why concern yourself?

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

[Whoa, Ed. Easy there.]

You're my friend. Of course I'm worried about what happened to you.

[Action]

[vermified]

[He's more annoyed about people spreading around the concern, but he's also touchy about the issue itself. Doesn't help that he's been fighting with Sigmund for weeks, both verbally and physically. He's not in the best of moods.]

...I really don't want to discuss it, Capell. You know what happened, don't you? Just leave it at that.

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

I don't know what happened besides that the Malnosso had you. [A sigh. He can understand not wanting to talk about something.] But, alright. I won't pry, Ed.

[Action]

[vermified]

[He... doesn't know? Oh, that's a relief. At least one friend doesn't know he went ballistic and tried to kill everyone. Knowing his luck, Capell's already been through that once.]

Thank you. ...What's the last thing you remember? From our world, I mean.

[Hey, what's a psychotic episode or two between friends?]

I had just cut the last chain. What about you?

[Action]

[vermified]

[Whoa, that's news.] You... succeeded? You liberated the moon? [He'll get back to the question in a minute but whooooooaaaa.]

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

[Whoops. Looks like Ed is in the opposite timeline direction. This place is going to give him headaches with all the time jumping.]

Yes. We defeated Leonid and liberated the moon. [And killed god, but that part shall be conveniently left out. No need to go breaking Ed's brain.]

[Action]

[vermified]

[Damn. Well, at least it's nice to know that they eventually succeed. It was cause for some concern for a while there.]

The last thing I remember before coming here is when... Seraphina and Kristofer joined in Kolton. [And they annoyed him to no end 8|]

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

[Ah, Ed. Who didn't annoy you when they joined? You're such a grumpy bear.]

I guess we're all from different times. [Definitely a headache if he keeps thinking about it.] Were you heading home?

[Action]

[vermified]

[He likes Touma. Touma is cool 8|b]

I was, yes. You as well? [Nooooot going to mention that he's been "heading home" for like an hour.]

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

Yes. [Just follow Capell. It'll be like old times except without the monsters to get in the way.] Everyone will be happy to see you.

[Action]

[vermified]

I'm not so certain of that... [He'll definitely follow, though, otherwise he'll be wandering all night.]

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

[He has to frown at that.] Why not?

[Action]

[vermified]

Lord Sigmund... [Does it really need saying? Edward attacked him, and Sigmund had to kill him... it's all messed up.]

[Action]

[the-soother.livejournal.com]

[He should have guessed the problem is Sigmund.]

I don't know what happened, but I'm sure it'll be all right, Ed.

[Action]

[vermified]

[...Edward doesn't look so sure, but since Capell apparently doesn't know, he's not about to explain. So he just nods, trying to hide his reluctance.]

I hope you're right.
