[Voice / Action] backdated to JANUARY 13th

[...So it's been a week. A full week since his parents had shown up in Luceti. And as of today, with the last bit of furniture in place, he and Al are officially "moved in". At least, in the sense of physically living there. Edward still finds himself looking out the window an awful lot and double-taking at the house number across the street, and at least three times now he's turned to approach the door of the Hughes' household instead of his own. He hasn't barged in unintentionally yet, at least. That would have been awfully embarrassing.

He's still not sure how he feels about this... home life. Thing. Adjustment is one thing, but actually coming to expect his mother's smiling face when he walks through the front door? It's a little scary. Wonderful in a lot of ways, but...

And that's not even getting into the issue of living so close to Hohenheim for this long, something he hasn't done since early childhood. And despite promising to give the man a chance, their relationship is tenuous at best, violent at its worst. He's still not calling the man "father", either. And there's poor Al in the middle, still stuck in his wheelchair... dammit...

Well, let's just say he's in desperate need of some distraction. So after giving it some thought, he turns to the journal-]


Hey, got a question for anyone listening out there-

I was talking to this kid a while back - Aoba - and something came up. Do we have some kind of directory of all the worlds people are from? I don't mean that world sharing class, I mean actual maps of all the different worlds, or countries within those worlds, or whatever.

Because if there isn't, then I'd like to make one. So if you wanna get involved, talk about where you're from here- show a map, gimme an idea of what it's like. I'll take what I can get.


[A little while later, he'll be venturing to his usual hotspots- the library, for some books for poor Al to read, and the Battle Dome, to take out some of his pent-up frustrations (and to duke it out with a few of the homunculus for kicks), then to the shops for a bit of perusing. He can be pestered around down at any time, looking uncharacteristically unsure, though he's been looking that way all week, so at this point it may not be anything new.

Eventually he'll return home to his family some time before dinner, carrying with him (in addition to Al's books) a toolbox, a bag containing some clothes, and a collection of sticky buns for dessert/snacking-

...but not before barging into the Hughes house accidentally. Apparently there really is a first time for everything.]

How doesn't it? Everyone and every thing is pulled in from everywhere else to exist at one point. Basically, the assumption would be that this world is a point at which mass or gravity or both become infinite and space and time bend in to be sucked up towards it. You know, like a black hole, entropy, all that stuff! The point is, this is a singularity which is able to reach across time, dimensional variances, universes, everything. The singularity. Now, whether this is natural or not is debatable, but I think it's far more likely that some "force" or "energy" of this world is what causes everyone to show up, not any individual or group of individuals.

Oh yeah... fair enough. Might want to look into pan-dimensional theory too.

Cool! And... maybe String Theory.

Oh, and read Brave New World.

It's a novel relevant to your understanding, obviously.

Yeah. Well, sci-fi. Old Scifi, like older than No Longer Human, I think.

The line of "fiction" here is blurry anyway, you ought to consider it. But... whatever. It doesn't matter that much anyway.

You're from a world with alchemy and artificial humans.
