Don't Forget!

[Ed is sitting out in an out of the way corner of the grounds brooding. He's got his silver pocket watch in one hand, the cover's open, and he's just staring at it, not really paying attention to anything around him.

Today is a day he has to remember, after all.]

[It's your favorite colonel, and he was just walking by.]

Penny for your thoughts?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

[Why is it you run into the most people when you're trying to get privacy?]

My thoughts are worth more than a penny.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Let's not nitpick over wording. Did something happen?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

Not recently. It's nothing that concerns you.

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

Excuse me? Is everything okay?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

Huh? yeah I'm fine.

[Untalkative Ed is untalkative.]

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

[Nothing recent. Then Roy figures it must have something to do with their effort to bring back their mother -- or to get their bodies back.]

It's not going to affect your performance, is it?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Just thought I'd double check.

When's the last time you went back home, anyway?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

[Sigh]

Too long.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Then it might be time for us to start setting some plans in motion. Give it some thought, all right?

[He begins to walk away.]

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

Wait a sec'. What kind of plans?

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

[Roy stops. What is that supposed to mean? If Roy knew about the nationwide transmutation circle, then Ed should know, too.

Unless...]

...Fullmetal. What was the last thing you were doing in Amestris?

[fatedmagica.livejournal.com]

Um... um, your pocket watch... it's not broken, is it? Is it okay?

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

[Uhoh. You don't spend as long as Ed has at CO without realizing what THAT question means.]

I...went north to Fort Briggs.

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with it.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

[It figures. That means that Roy is from further along in the time line than Ed is.]

Obviously I can't say much, but...you'll make a discovery at Briggs.

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

That's what I went there for.

We probably shouldn't say anything else before we accidentally destroy the universe.

[king-of-flames.livejournal.com]

Wasn't planning on it.

[Marona was just passing by with a hefty book in her hands. But when she sees Ed, she can't help but peer curiously at the watch, trying to see what he's looking at.

She kind of fails at subtlety.]

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

[She gets close enough to see something scratched into the inside of the lid before Ed snaps the case shut.]

[cuteevilshaman.livejournal.com]

What'cha doin?

[She looks at you with a large smile on her face.]

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

[Barely acknowledging your presence.]

Thinking.

[cuteevilshaman.livejournal.com]

About what?
[Notice his hair.]

Oh you have such long hair for a boy.

[micro-icarus.livejournal.com]

It's not that long.
