Who: Edward Elric + OTA
Where: All over!
When: Arrival + sickness event
Rating: PG most likely
What: Edward arrives and Gets To Work
( a - arrival; temple and exploration )
[Edward probably didn't make the best impression with Astoria - but then, first impressions are rarely his strong suit - and he's very quickly angered by his lack of alchemy; any time it happened back home while battling that Father bastard had brought with it a sense of helplessness that just makes his irritation rise in spades. Even so, alchemists are still scientists, and a big part of science is observation and investigation, and he's pretty good at those.
Thus, Edward's first days are spent either lurking around the temple, watching as people come and go, or venturing through the territory of his new surroundings, interrogating people as they go about their lives. Don't be surprised if he's suddenly jogging over to you, annoyed and full of questions.]
Hey! Got a minute?
[Most of what he's noticed is how sick people are getting, which does not bode well.]
( b - sickness shenanigans )
[Yeah, the sick stuff definitely didn't bode well- and is getting increasingly worse over time. Edward himself is doing okay, suffering from just a bad case of the sniffles at worst, but he's starting to wonder if he's been dumped into a quarantine zone instead of some kind of battleground. It's making him wish he'd had the chance to study alkahestry, in case it could affect illnesses... then again, it's not like alchemy works here, anyway.
He's a mediocre cook and an even lousier nurse, so there isn't much he can do for the people who are sick, but he's got all four limbs and strength enough to run errands, so for a while he's wandering from place to place, checking in with those who are sick (or those in charge of the sick) for what they need- supplies, an extra pair of hands, cleanup, whatever. It's harder to feel so helpless when you keep yourself busy, and he's not afraid of a day's hard work.
He might also have a black dog with him, trotting along at his side and helping to carry small supplies in her mouth.]
( c - for castmates )
[Thanks to Mustang, he's been made aware of certain other Amestrians in the area, so with some directions in hand, Edward goes looking for them. Hawkeye first, as she's always been straightforward with him. There's no one more dependable. And Hughes...
...well, maybe he puts Hughes off, just a little bit. He won't admit that he's nervous, but... anyway, he'll get there before too long, if Hughes doesn't find him first.
Of course he's on the lookout for the others as well. Gotta check in, make sure they're still kicking.]

Nah, just got here. It's probably pure luck that I ran across him as soon as I did.
[He wouldn't have thought to check the watch for contacts, that's for sure.]
no subject
It probably was. He's gotten fairly good at explaining everything that happens around here. Or as good as any of us can.
no subject
Guess so. It felt like he was leaving out a lot of details like usual, though.
[Blah blah blah protect the kids from the truth blah blah blah reckless Fullmetal....]
no subject
With everything going on, it's sometimes hard to explain everything in one go. Did you have any more questions you wanted to ask about it?
no subject
[Because that's what he's more concerned about when it comes to Mustang. He got the gist of what happened, that's fine. But that's not what the whole truth consists of.]

so instead, riza sets a hand on edward's shoulder - squeezing gently - before letting her hand fall again. ]
What did he tell you of what happens back home?
[ she has to start somewhere, doesn't she? ]
no subject
[It feels weird to bitch about Hohenheim, even briefly, to Hawkeye who doesn't deserve that, so he just. Sidesteps.]
That Al traded his soul for my arm, and then after we won I traded alchemy for him.

I wasn't... [ there's a pause, then a breath. ] There was a lot that happened on Promise Day. You and Alphonse and General Mustang were a good portion of the force behind it. It- It could have been much worse, but it was stopped, and last I knew you and your brother were onto your next adventure.
[ that last bit is said with....well. quite a bit of fondness. can you blame her, though? ]
