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?

[Heading upstairs he blended in well with how white everything was, being albino and all. But he'd been heading for the library having nothing better to do with his time especailly seeing as he'd already been to the pool. But, Ed tends to stand out, especially in his bright red jacket.]

Nice coat, kid, like the colour.

[unexculpable]

[kid...? D<

He really doesn't like that kid comment, but yeah, he does that. His coat is pretty much the coolest thing ever and it wasn't often that someone appreciated its sheer badassery.]

Heh, thanks.

[and then he mumbles under his breath with a bit of a scowl]

[Prussia catches his grumble and raises an eyebrow.]

You can't be older than sixteen, to me you're still a kid. But your coat is awesome, almost as awesome as my old one. But this colour is better.

[unexculpable]

Seventeen.

More awesome than this one? Doubtful.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Oh ho, Seventeen, hitting big numbers. [Gilbert couldn't help but smirk, he liked this kid. Mouthy and obviously had an attitude to back him up.]

You'd be surprised, it came with a hat I don't think you're going to beat that.

[unexculpable]

[Damn straight. Ed can talk the talk and walk the walk.]

Tch. If you need a hat to go with your coat it's not badass enough.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Or, yours is less because there wasn't a master craftsman putting together a set.

So, what's your name?

[unexculpable]

Hey, this is my own handiwork.

Edward Elric. And you?

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

The kingdom of Prussia, otherwise known as Gilbert Weillschmidt.

You're a better seamstress than any man I know of... well, other than France but he's another story.

[unexculpable]

[and here's one guy who isn't going to find the fact that you called yourself Prussia strange! no such thing as Prussia in Amestris.]

Thanks, but I didn't sew it. Made it with alchemy.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Alchemy? [Oh He remembers that, the beginning of science. Mostly where people were floundering and trying to turn lead into gold before they figured out they were who completely different elements that could never become one or the other.]

Lead into gold and all that jazz? You're a scientist then.

[unexculpable]

Not exactly. It's possible to make gold, but not from lead. Those are two completely different elements.

But yeah, I'm a scientist.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Oh I know, I lived through that period. It was entertaining watching them try though.

You're a bit young to be a scientist.

[unexculpable]

[eyebrow. even in his world, that was hundreds of years ago.]

You don't look that old.

Didn't know science had age restrictions. I've been studying alchemy since before I could read. [and considering he was reading by the age of two, he's been doing this for awhile. he grins, looking a bit smug] You're lookin' at the youngest state alchemist in Amestrian history.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Amestria? I've never heard of that place.

And believe me, I'm over two milennia old. Countries live a long time, kid. But congrats on that, seems you're into science the way I was into fighting. Had a sword in my hand before I could walk.

[unexculpable]

Amestris, actually.

Heh, yeah sounds like --

[wait.]

[unexculpable]

...

You're a country?

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Yea, I'm a country. There's a few of us here in the tower. Most are female... which is fucking weird seeing as most of the ones I know are male.

Never heard of Amestris though.

[unexculpable]

You're not the only one. I guess Drachma doesn't ring any bells either?

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Nope, unless you've heard of Hungary, England, Canada, France and the like. Then again, at least you're not a troll. I've seen weirder things here.

[unexculpable]

Nope.

Yeah, my roommate's a troll. It was uh, interesting.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Same here, the guy is a weirdo. Freaked out when I moved a garbage bucket from beside my bed to near the bathroom door.

[unexculpable]

The one I isn't that strange, really. Pretty normal all things considered.

[eastern-awsum.livejournal.com]

Lucky for you then. So, kid, where you headed?

[unexculpable]

[not a kid damn it. D< he frowns a little, crossing his arms over his chest as he shrugs.]

Nowhere in particular, just making my way down the tower so I know where things are.
