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.

[As for the rest, he's sure Death City and this world is very nice it's just going to take some time to adjust to.]
Though it's nice to know you have friends here, I'm still waiting to see if anyone I know is here.
no subject
[ Tenten can be heard pretty close to Alphonse. She's just a bit down the block. ]
Well, what world are you from? Maybe I can see if there's anyone I know from your world!
no subject
[Recognizing that part of the street in the background he turns around and begins to scan the crowd. An act which is all too easy given his height, he can already see people moving out the way as Tenten approaches.]
Well, it doesn't have name, but the country I live in is called Amestris.
action now!
Wait, you said, Amestris?! That's the place Commander Roy was from! And this one girl I talked to, Ran Fan, said she was at Amestris before waking up here but she's from a place called Xing. [ Sorry. She's just focused on these small details now! ]
no subject
[Boy does he sound surprised, but totally in a good way and as Tenten begins to list of names of people he's familiar with he can't help but feel hopeful. Maybe he really is not on his own here.]
It sounds like I'm not the first person from home to come here. I'm very familiar with the names you've mentioned.
