[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!!

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ 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!?

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

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

[interstellars.livejournal.com]

[so I hear you like lolis]

What happened?

[audio]

[asobouyo]

[DB OH GOD NO, BIG BRO AL IS GETTING ATTACKED

WAIT WHEN DID YOU GET HERE AGAIN AAAAH what should she address first—




meh, gotta break in the conversation the clearest way possible

totally]

Big bro, you're here again!

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ god he's so happy to hear you, but... but. ]

Where are you? [ the book? ]

[automailed]

There's a village nearby- [Oh dammit, he's just hearing the book; that's probably really confusing. Edward has no idea how to show the guide to him using the journal yet, so he grumbles in frustration. He wants to see Al right now, why did he have to be in the forest?] Hey, describe what's around you, alright? I'll come and find you.

[Besides... you know. Squirrels.]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

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

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Are you all right?

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.

[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?

I wish I knew.

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

Oh well that's goo-- tree branch! Forest attack!

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ /begins operation loli collection ]

I must have startled them.

[audio]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

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

Elicia?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ looking. looking. there are a few large rocks and some... rather enormous paw prints. ]

It's a forested area. There's a rock with some deep gouges in it. And... [ listening, or trying to, despite the high pitched chatter. ] I think I can hear a river.

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

N-no! It's nothing to worry about!

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

But...the trees, and the other stuff that's...flying...at you.

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

It's only some angry squirrels.

[sea-king-bait.livejournal.com]

But why are the squirrels mad?

[Forgive her. She's rather excitable.]

[automailed]

[Well sadly there's like three river paths, so that is only marginally helpful... hmm.]

What about mountains, can you see any through the trees? And try to get to the river, I'll start heading down.

Re: [audio]

[asobouyo]

Yeah! It's me, big bro Alphonse!

[Your voice sounds like metal again, though. That's not right...]

Are you lost in the forest? That happens a lot when people're new!

[Voice]

[catus_carnival]

Meow, what's going on there?

[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.
