[Talk about one hell of a morning. Waking up to the draft is bad enough, though truth be told he's kind of grateful for the distraction. But when Edward goes to visit his father's room to fill him in on the news in case he's unaware, he finds it empty, lacking any sign of the man ever living there. He stands in the doorway for a long moment, mulling over how exactly he's supposed to feel about this, then opts to push those feelings aside, shutting the door behind himself and returning to his own room. After the draft, he'll start packing; he isn't sure where he'll go just yet, but he knows that he won't be staying in this house anymore. There's... nothing left for him here. The last of his family is gone.
In his room, he goes to his journal, scrawling out a quick filter directed at his superior, but it fails. He frowns, tries again, only to get the same result. He has no idea where the colonel lives, but the malfunction seems to be answer enough about what's happened.
So. Moving on. Stubbornly he stuffs the journal into his coat pocket, shrugging it on and heading over to the house across the street, to check on the Hughes' family. With Elicia on the draft as well, certain things will need to be discussed. Unfortunately, more bad news will await him once he reaches the door.
All three. All three of them in one day, just... gone.
It isn't until later on that he finally returns to the journal, this time with a public announcement.]
Van Hohenheim, Roy Mustang, and... Maes Hughes... have all returned to their world. Just wanted to let everyone know.
If anyone's looking for a sparring partner to get ready for the draft, I'll be at the Battle Dome. Second room, assuming it's open.
[And true to his word, that's where he'll be for most of the afternoon; the rest of the day will be spent at the Hughes' house trying to help what's left of his (extended) family deal with this painfully familiar loss. He can be found at any of the locations mentioned and will be seeking out certain friends and castmates.]

I-I wouldn't lose another limb in a fight, that's pointless!

[She knows. Her leg is still scarred.]
Voice
...Sorry. [Another pause, and then:] I could use my mechanic, though, if you're not busy.

Hey. Sorry to call you out here.

Huh, you'd think you didn't want anybody to know you had automail with this secret work place in your room.
Action
[It's the first time he's acknowledged Sokka as a back-up mechanic. His preference is pretty obvious, though.]
Re: Action
I was kidding, idiot. [Now to admire/judge/whatever you have here. The smithy has spoiled her, so she probably finds this all lacking.]
Action
Haruhi said I should use the red one up there. It's going to come in handy again.
[Any excuse to use the badass blaze metal arm, which he'd had switched out when it started getting too hot. His enthusiasm is slightly lacking with all that's happened, though.]
Action
[Blame Donatello. He got her reading about space ships a long while back. She starts to get everything in place as if this was her own work area, and not some spot in Ed's room.]
Action
She mentioned that, too. I'm going to head over to the library later to try and read up on what it'll be like up there, if I can.
Action
Probably a good idea. You know, it's still weird to do this without there being something wrong with it.
Action
I've been getting used to it. It's kind of convenient, having options like this.
Action
Too bad it could be like this all the time. You know, where all your limbs are still operational.
