Characters: Edward Elric and YOU.
Setting: Wherever. Ed's just wandering around. c:
Format: Either is fine! I'll follow you.
Summary: Set immediately after this thread. Ed and Sollux have parted ways and he'd really like to know more about where he is. :|b
Warnings: Ed's mouth. That's about it for now.

Ed and Sollux had parted ways and he, for one, wasn't complaining. He had more important things to do. Things like finding out if this letter was for real. Somewhere in this tower he would find what he was looking for. I mean, Amestris couldn't be gone... right?

[She smiles her thanks, a little wryly.] ...It's not just the floors that are dangerous. A while ago, there was a blackout, and during the time the lights were out, there were ghosts in the tower. They looked like the people who were left behind, but-- they were trying to hurt everyone.

[Ed never bought into any of that supernatural stuff. Everything had a logical, scientific explanation and he refused to accept anything as "truth" if there was no solid evidence for it. Even now, despite all he's seen and heard so far, he couldn't believe that.</small] You realize how stupid that sounds, right?

[There's a pause while she considers his question.] I... guess it does. Most people haven't seen proof of things like that, have they? [Fortunately she's seen plenty of proof of enough supernatural stuff to know better, especially considering that she's fairly supernatural herself.]

If by most people you mean everyone then yeah. There's never been a solid piece of evidence proving their existence. There's always a logical explanation for crap like that.

...Couldn't there be a logical explanation for ghosts? Or at least, things that looked like ghosts?

By definition, there's no logical explanation.

Oh. Alright. If you say so.

Look, I'm not saying it never happened, but I really doubt they were ghosts.

Mm, maybe not. I never saw them. ...I'm not sure that they were, either. It just... seems unlikely. [Not necessarily because ghosts don't exist.]

Impossible is more like it.

[She doesn't want to argue with him, so she falls silent for a moment, but... it just seems wrong not to at least try to get him to explore the possibilities, rather than dismissing them.] Well... I don't know about your world, but in my universe, it's... not that simple. There actually are ghosts-- at least, there are on one of the worlds. And... there are other things, too.

[he raises an eyebrow. he's legitimately curious]

On one of the worlds? So you actually have a way to travel between them?

Well... [For a brief moemnt she's reminded of the policy of not meddling in other worlds, but it doesn't seem to matter now; everyone here knows about there being other worlds, after all.] ...yes. There's more than one way.

Really? Huh... Nothing like that where I'm from. Have you been to other worlds then?

[There's a pause, but at this point she can see nothing wrong with admitting it. It's accompanied by a nod.] Yes.

That's awesome. [he grins] So what're they like?

There are so many different ones that it's hard to give just one answer. I guess you could say that they're... all unique.

Well which one was your favorite?

[sorry Nammers. He is just kind of fascinated by all of this]

My... favorite? [This appears to be something she's never considered before, so it takes her a moment.] I-- I don't think I can pick. They're all so interesting. [and/or 'were', anyway.]
