Equivalent Exchange: Episode 3--Crimson Eternal

[Dire Lemming]

OOC: Whoops, the apology was actually meant for Laura but I forgot to state that.

[Dire Lemming]

Alphonse follows after Selim, and looks somewhat surprised when he responds to him "Wha- oh. Uh, Miss Laura, I'm sorry to cause you so much trouble. Um, so you're an alchemist too? Why did you come to central?" he glances furtively at Selim's back to make sure he's not listening before adding in a quiet voice; "If there's something specific you want to study, maybe I could check out some research for you."

The woman smiles another mysterious smile at Alfonzo's ways. "I am indeed an alchemist, and I did get a good look at the circle. But I cannot research it, of course. It is... restricted. But I am surprised you gave up on the odd one so easily. She is surely not alive... though not exactly a homunculus. An oddity." She adds a crosswise gaze at Al a moment then continues to look ahead.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al shakes his head, "I'm not giving up! But the only way to clear Miller is to figure out what really happened. I can't just break her out or something. What do you mean she's not alive?"

 

[stonegod]

Her tone still conspiratory, she continues. "She was dead and now she is not. Is that not... unusual? Perhaps you should look up things having to do with the homunculus---the circles use d in their creation. Perhaps there is a connection with... Tucker's other research. Something must explain it." That last is said in the faintest of whispers, again with that smile.

 

[Dire Lemming]

Al blushes as the strange but beutiful woman continues to smile at him, he's not sure what to make of it.

"What if... er. What if she had not really died to begin with? But then she would look older than that wouldn't she... Private Bradley said you found her at the site after the chimera and the other guy were gone. So then she wasn't there before? It just doesn't make sense."

*Elysia will lead Rose to Scezska's office*

“So Elysia, what is Sciezka like?” Rose asks as they make their way to Sciezka’s office.

 

[Raylis]

"A bit weird, nice, but weird. She talks alot about books and she's pretty smart" Elysia anwsers as they walk "So you live in Resembol...with Al?"

 

[unleashed]

“Yes, I’ve been staying with Al, trying to help him recover his memories and learning alchemy as well. It’s all very interesting, though I don’t think he’ll ever remember the things he’s forgotten... that’s probably for the best though. Sometimes I wish I could forget...” Rose replies, a hint of sadness passing over her features. “So what does Sciezka do here?”
