It's been a lot calmer around here lately. Or...at least from what I've seen.

It's actually pretty nice.

...excuse me, but I - I'm not sure where this is, or how I got here.

This is strange, but...can anyone tell me where this is? I still need to find my brother -

((ooc: Late to the party! \o/ Might do a backdated one for little!Al, but idk.))

Um...I-I'm sorry for not getting back to you earlier, Miss Rose and Miss Belarus and everyone, but I didn't really find anything...

I'll keep a look out though!

A-and it looks like everyone's getting ready for another celebration, too...

Th-that was...really weird.

...so that's what that felt like. I never want to...feel that again...

There's no way that was from a hallucination. I...I remembered...so it couldn't be...

*there's a ten year old boy's voice - sounding very confused, and rather...tinny and echo-y*

I-I hope I don't break this...

Um...ex-excuse me, but does anyone know where this is, or where my brother is? I think I've lost him...

((ooc: ...I wish I had more icon space. :| Though at least he's not particularly expressive, in theory. XD))

Still no leads on how to find Brother...am I not looking hard enough, maybe?

I've learnt a lot of things since coming here, though! So it's okay, in the end!

So...I guess it's been a good start to the New Year, and all!

I...still need to figure out how to get to Brother, though.

I should start with saving some money, maybe.

Um...

D-does anyone happen to know somewhere...cheap to stay?

S-sorry to be a bother...

Um... I'm not sure how this works, exactly. Is this right?

Well, it looks like it’s working, at least...

Hello! My name is Alphonse, and I just got to this city. I-I look forward to meet you!

...and if anyone's met anyone named Edward Elric, could you let me know, too? Th-thank you!
