001 ۞ March 14th Afternoon [Video/Action]

[When Alphonse finally starts to make his way back through Death City towards Casualty Communal to see what living quarters has in store. He's currently somewhere in the middle of the shopping district when he finally turns his communication device on, it's focus set on his large gunmetal gray chest plate and leather fingers that are curled around the edges of the mirrored device. He doesn't speak up at first, because a he's managed to earn quite a following as he makes his way down the street. Just over the clunking of his metal feet the hushed voices of those he passes closest to can easily be heard.]

Is that a robot?

Whoa - that guy is huge!

Mommy that thing is scary!

[Besides the part about being confused for a robot (what's a robot?) most of the whispers are things that by now he's quite used to hearing. He keeps moving and when he's gotten to the a section of streets where he recalls turning earlier with his tour group he stops and finally brings up the communication device towards his 'face'. His face of course being a giant metal helmet and he does his best to use his tone of voice to 'smile', because his face can't.]

Hello? I'm pretty sure I got this to work correctly and if that's true then other people should be able to hear me, right?

[His tone wavers just for a second with uncertainty, but after a brief pause he does his best to focus on the point of using this device.]

My name is Alphonse Elric and I'm hoping someone here might be familiar with anyone else from my world. I'm looking for my brother Edward. He's ...

[Haha describing Edward was always interesting, because let's face it most applicable adjectives were just short jokes waiting to happen.]

Well, let's just say you'd probably remember him if you've met him!

[The nervous laugh is pretty much a dead give away that he's trying to avoid listing any specific identifying features.]

I'd really appreciate being told any and all information you have about him or his whereabouts. Even if there's the chance that he's not here. [A thought which makes his voice take a much more worried tone.] Speaking of information! Does this place have a library? The tour ended before I had a chance to ask.
