[disembodied]

Winry! Zampano! Jerso! May! Scar! Can any of you hear me?

[ there's a cla-clank-clank in the background of this and a strange echo to the voice. The snapshot only captures flashes of forest and snow. ]

It's no good... we must have gotten separated somehow. But these wings, and the talking animals... this strange book. Just what is going on here?

[ PLUNK... PLUNK PLUNK PLUNK. CLUNK. ] Huh? [ the clanking stops. the journal's picking up on the loud, angry sounds of squirrels now. ] I-I'm sorry! I'm going now, you don't need to worry- [ CLUNKCLUNKCLUNKCLUNK! that actually hurts when you aim for the wings! ] Hey, stop throwing that!

[Oh god oh god oh my god seriously his luck is NOT THIS GOOD

But there's not mistaking that voice. He would never mistake that voice for anyone else. So without even a moment of hesitation, Edward's yelling into the journal as loud as he can-]

AL!!

[ THE VOLUME OF THAT YELL ONLY SEEMS TO INFURIATE THEM. Al's backing away, arms held up in front of him to ward off any projectiles.

The journal catches a snapshot of the small army amassed in the trees. They're all chattering and fluffed out, and the whole thing is very noisy. ]

Brother!

[automailed]

Al! You're here!?

[Oh god so excited. So excited. Al's here!! The team is complete! The Elric telepathy worked!]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Alphonse!?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

Winry! [ oh, thank goodness she's safe! ]

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Are you okay!? Is the forest attacking you!?

o-oh god what is that face

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

I'm fine! [ there's a branch flying by the journal.] It's nothing to worry about, they're just a little agitated.

[ w-wait a second... why does that sound like- ]

Elicia?

[Voice]

[breaks_destiny]

[Oh, he knows that voice... It sounds a bit off, though and there's that unmistakable confusion from New Feathers...]

Oi, calm down, man. Winry's here and a few others you may know. But first of all, where are you? Are you hurt? Do you need a rescue party or something?

[Voice]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ by this point, al has created a safe little barrier to hide in to avoid the angry rodents. the wings are sore from being pelted with everything and anything the terrible little rodents could get their hands on. he's not accustomed to pain just yet. ]

Ah, I just spoke with her. There's nothing to worry about, someone is coming to get me.

[Voice]

[catus_carnival]

Meow, what's going on there?

[Voice]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

It's nothing to worry about - [ rocks fly by! ] just a little disturbance!

[idkmybffroy.livejournal.com]

[ BET YOU THOUGHT HE'D OVERLOOKED THIS, HUH. But no, no, he finds it eventually.

... and you're in the armor this time around. That's really a shame. ]

You might want to get out of there before they start getting murderous.

I-

[ whatever he was going to say next was immediately wiped from his mind at the sound of that voice. that warm tone. the-

the sounds of his running slows until he's stopped. that- that can't be... but it couldn't be Envy, could it? there's a hopeful note to his thoughts. just for a moment. and then it's dashed with the reminder that even if they had escaped the homunculus and kimblee in, it didn't mean that they had escaped them in this place too. ]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

... Don't use that voice.

[Voice]

[godbent]

[...It sounds different - younger? There's an odd echo too. But that voice is one she knows]

...Alphonse Elric?

[Voice]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ safe inside his shield from the squirrely menace, al's surprised to hear an unfamiliar voice asking his name. ]

Um... Yes?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my, are you all right?

<3 Grune!

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

I'm fine, please don't worry about me. [ it's a little embarrassing to have his first encounter with most of the people here centred around something like this. ] I just startled them.
