luceti [ic] ⚝ video/action oo1

[May had crashed down from the ceiling after being chased by Envy, so she really didn't expect to end up within the leaves of a forest. Her first thought intentionally being 'I'm safe' with the second coming to a realization that this was.. not where she should be.

Cue the loud 'wah' of confusion. Getting up, she grasps the journal tossing it aside turning on the video function for anyone to see her flailing about.]

W-where am I? I.. This.. can't be Central! [Did she get knocked out and transported somewhere. Something bright behind her catches her eye causing her to turn around and see the wings.]

WINGS? I have wings...? [A beat pauses as she stares at them until a spot beside her moves catching her attention.]

Xiao-Mei! I'm glad I found you! [Cue snuggling with the small panda.] Did we die? If we were dead, you'd have wings too.. right?

[With May seeing the journal and picking it up, the feed clicks off.]

Oh, good, at least you know that much.

[You never know when people will be coming in from around here.]

Sorry, but Al's not here. What's the last thing that you remember from home? You said you were in Central...

[O-oh, well, she's not going to hide her disappointment.]

I see, w-well that's alright. I was in the midst of fighting Envy.

...The Promised Day?

[He hadn't seen her until they'd crashed through the ceiling, and even then they'd been forced to split up quickly. He doesn't know much of what she was doing that day.]

[She nods]

Envy had just caused us to break though the ceiling when I arrived here.

[In other words, right after they'd all met up. So fairly early... hm.]

You're not gonna start fighting Ling and Ran Fan, are you?

[Her eyes can't help but widen and swell slightly at the screen before she shifts causing her eyes away from the video.]

Neither of them deserve any more grief..., I can face the facts that Prince Yao won while I didn't.

[Well, that's a relief. He'd been admittedly a little worried that they were all going to start fighting again.]

Did he tell you what he was planning to do, at least?

[Surely that would help. He really doesn't want to be the one who makes her cry on Day 1, geez.]

[May has either gone down to tears or gotten close to it several times since she got here already, but she manages to pull herself together and face the screen again.]

Yes, he did. I'm thankful for it, if Prince Yao had decided not too. I don't know what I would do...

...Well, you could always have just stayed in Amestris. We owe you that much for everything you did to help out.

[Plus Al would've been happy, h e h]

That would be abandoning my clan, I could never forgive myself if I did so.

[huff, so enough of this depressing stuff.]

What do you think of this place?

[Huh. Well, at least she's devoted.]

Kind of tiresome. When it's quiet, there's never enough to keep me occupied, and when it's busy, it's... insane.

[And disturbing. Very, very disturbing.]

This place is certainly one you must make the best of. People get taken by robots I've also heard.

Yeah, they do. I've had it happen- they make it hard to fight, and while they've got you, really weird stuff happens. It's not always bad, but when it is...

Can't you use alchemy to deconstruct them?

If you get a lucky shot in, yeah, but they're really good at sneaking up on people. And they've got some special tech that can disable abilities. Last time I got taken they took out my alchemy before I could do a damn thing.

Disable abilities? So it was like when you couldn't use your alchemy underneath Central. Isn't alchemy a science though, how can it be disabled unless the force that you use to use it is taken away?

Yeah, it's like that. I don't know how they can pull it off, but it works on everything. I bet it would affect your alkahestry, too.

[Affect her alkahestry?]

To disable alkahestry would be to disable the Dragon's Pulse; not an easy task. This place has some interesting abilities.

I think it's got more to do with disabling your ability to use the Pulse or whatever, but yeah, that's basically it.

E-eeh, disabling my ability to use the pulse.. [That isn't even remotely fair!]

So no one has been able to defeat them before?

I think some have. They got kidnapped by more of them later, though. They can outnumber and overwhelm whoever they want to capture.

[It's really frustrating, being that powerless, whether you're the one getting kidnapped or not.]

Resistance is a bit useless than.. That doesn't sound like something that I would want to go though. [or watch someone go though....]

[Edward makes a vague sound of agreement, quiet for a moment, then hastily shakes it off.]

Anyway, try not to overthink it. We're all in this together, so we'll deal with it that way, too.

[May gives him a blank blink for a moment before giving him a small smile.]

You're right, we should all work on getting along.

[Awesome, Xingese truce acquired. He wasn't expecting to start fighting with her, of course, but... well, better safe than bruised. Plus she's the resident expert of the information he's been looking for, so-]

Good to hear. Hey, May, can I ask a favour? Once you're settled and everything, obviously.
