[A: Phone (Open to All)]

[It's pretty late at night and Al is at the end of his rope. Ed has been avoiding him, he utterly failed to protect anyone he cared about when the town went to hell, and he was once more trapped in this stupid armour body. His voice is high pitched in a mix of distress and determination, coming all in a rush down the phones.]

I've had enough!

I'm not going to let this town hurt anyone I care about any more, and I'm not going to let anyone else get hurt. I know... I know I can't protect everybody, but I can help teach people who don't know how to protect themselves.

So... come to the park in the morning if you want to learn, and together we can help make sure that we can give this place a really good fight!

[B: Park (Open to All)]

[Sure enough, mid morning finds one Alphonse Elric in the park, ready to teach anyone who shows up. He knows a lot of people here are competent already, and that some wouldn't want his lessons. But if he can help even one person get better at defending themselves, then he's done a good job.]

[C: 1649 Albright Lane (Locked to Ed)]

[He has had more than enough of Ed avoiding him. He knew from others what had happened to Brother during the carnival, and he is furious that Ed hadn't come to find him as soon as it was all over. He has been around himself a few times since, but he always seems to mysteriously miss his big brother.

Not today.

He's hammering on the door loudly, big metal fist making a furious pounding that shakes the door.]

BROTHER! BROTHER, OPEN THE DOOR!

Than it is a deal.

[Sounding totally professional about it too.]

Um, do you mean now?

No, when I have a proper sword, than we will do it then.

Okay! I can't wait. Is that how you usually fight where you're from?

[The boy's enthusiasm is enough to make Crown smile. It almost reminds him of Cross a little bit. Treasure this Alphonse, treasure it.]

Yes in a way. But I had magic as well that I used.

[Awww a smile. Al is always a good one to go for when enthusiasm is wanted.]

Wow, there seem to be a lot of magicians here.

[But very few alchemists.]

Hm? There are more magic users? Are you one as well?

No! I mean... yes, there are others, but I'm not one of them.

So you have only met them. I see. So, other than your skills with hand to hand and that armor you wear, do you have any other skills?

Mm, I'm an alchemist. It's... sort of like creating one thing by giving up something else.

Alchemist? I see, you will need to show me this alchemist capability sometime.

Sure!

[How about right now? He claps his hands together and the ground glows a little. A small crater appears as a spear rises up ready prepared.]

[Crown's going to gasp at this. That is very impressive. When he created swords he just did it out of thin air. With this, it as completely different.]

Remarkable...I have never seen magic like that before.

[He lets the spear sink back down and become the earth again, since there was no reason to keep it.]

It's not magic, it's alchemy. It's based on the principle of equivalent exchange... if you give something, you can create something of equal value.

Hm....I see...so if that is the case, would you be able to create a rapier for me? If it is not too much to ask. I will repay you with whatever you ask.

Um, sure. Do you want it made out of anything special?

Perhaps steel? Does that exist here?

Sure! We can just use the cutlery in your house.

Will it be enough? I suppose if we use everything, than perhaps. Oh well, the drones can live without cutlery for the night.

Sure, it'll be fine, do you want to go and do it now?

Now would be good if that is all right with you.

Mm, lets go!

[He's enthusiastic, it feels good to help someone.]

Thank you.

[And he's enthusastic that he gets to stab people, okay not really.

He leads Alphonse back to his place. The moment he steps into the kitchen, he's tearing it apart. He's pulling out drawers and dumping the forks, spoons and butter knives on the floor in a pile. He's even going as far as to toss the good knives the drone mother uses into the pile. Pretty much anything made of steel in this kitchen goes in the pile. Even if he's ripping it off the walls to do it. Nothing is safe.]

[That's going a little overboard, and Al puts a hand on his shoulder when he starts wrenching things off the wall.]

H-Hey! That's enough, you don't have to do that.

[Crown looks back at Alphonse at hearing him to stop.]

Hm? There is nothing wrong with it Alphonse, I assure you. The drones will not notice.

In any case...is that enough than?
