001 [Video Intro. Because she can.]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

[The video feed opens on a cute blond girl, her face pressed up close to the camera.]

This is amazing! What kind of technology is this?

[The screen swings around, and is now pointed at her folded legs. The view jiggles then steadies, but still shows her calves, crossed over each other.]

I've never seen anything like this. And those Gummi Ships!

[The screen moves again, kind of flipped onto a bed, and it appears Winry's been set up in a dorm room at Destiny Island Academy, from the walls now seen in the background. Winry's voice continues cheerfully, though she can't be viewed.]

Imagine the kind of auto-mail I can learn to build if the technology here is this amazing!

[Her squeal goes off into registers only dogs can hear.]

You're being awfully loud Winry.

[Winry appears on the screen again.]

...Ed?

You're here? Really? Where are you?

[He sounds bland but really he's very very worried about her.]

I moved to Disney Castle World. I am living with Magus at the moment. That school was crap. So, you okay? Seen Al?

_{[This is why being a Nobody sucks, folks; heightened senses, aww yeah. Or in this case, oh nooo.]}

Owowowowow--! Not so loud--!

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry! I didn't...did it amplify my voice? I can turn it down!

[ninthserenade.livejournal.com]

N-No, just that squeal or whatever that noise was you just made got really loud for a couple seconds.

_{[The rest of it he didn't hear, thankfully.]}

[Have fellow technophile Mizuno Ami, seeming far more animated than her usual calm.]

It's really remarkable, isn't it? I want to learn so much more about them.

[Video]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

Me, too! I can't wait to meet the engineers here! Do you know any?

[Video]

[innerflow.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, I don't. It should be possible to try to contact them through this communicator.

The Gummi ships are kind of amazing considering what they run on.

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

What do they run on? [Oo, fuel discussions, those are interesting, too.]

video;

[watchesthesea.livejournal.com]

They run on smiles and happy thoughts, so some people tend to find them hard to fly.

[Auto-mail, huh.]

Winry? [There's little inflection in the word. He doesn't recognize her but a girl about Edward's age talking about auto-mail. It's not a difficult leap.

He's going to have another housemate, isn't he? How. Wonderful.

There's an irritated mewling coming from just off screen. The squeal! It HURTS, you foolish human!]

[Video]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

Yes, sir, I'm Winry!

Who are you?

[Video]

[false-oracle.livejournal.com]

Magus.

[fatherb4me.livejournal.com]

[High-pitched squeal aside, he's curious about something.]

I've never heard of auto-mail. What is that?

[Video]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

[Deep breath.]

Auto-mail is the design of bio-electric prostheses that are attached into the user's nervous system by an auto-mail port! The port is connected directly to the nerves, an' the port translates what would be the vol-vol-un-tary muscle movements to movements in the auto-mail, so the prosthesis can be used just like a flesh limb!

[This is said as one continuous and stumbling sentence.]

[Video]

[fatherb4me.livejournal.com]

[Stare]

Does it look like a flesh limb?

[urmyluckygirl.livejournal.com]

Afternoon. Are you one of the new arrivals?

[Maybelle hadn't seen this girl before but it was pretty unusual for someone to seem so enthusiastic about finding themselves here.]

Video

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

Mm! I woke up, and I was here.

[Winry pauses for a second, rubbing her chin, and seems a little confused.]

I don't know what happened to Granny and Den, though. And Ed asked me if I'd seen Al....

Video

[urmyluckygirl.livejournal.com]

[Makes a mental note. This girl had a relatively smooth transition, some of the others had more dramatic entrances. Never hurts to examine any patterns. Maybelle's own arrival had been a smooth one too]

That's how it was for me too.

[Looks down]

Those people must still be back home on your own world.

[we-schmooze.livejournal.com]

Whoa, hey, decibel level! How about toning it down a little? A few of us actually like being able to hear.

[Video]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry, sir! [Blush.]

It's just...I've never seen technology like this! It's really wonderful!

[uwaaooo.livejournal.com]

Aaaah, too loud! [ow ow ow Gau is covering his ears!]

[makes-spaghetti.livejournal.com]

[Eep!]

I'm sorry!
