It looks like this place is for public messages?

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

So this is a space to talk to everyone here, right?
Is anyone out there from Germany or Amestris?
Does anybody have a tally going of how many worlds people have come in from?
Has anybody charted out whether some worlds are alike to others or share historical events?
Does this city have a library or university?
Is there a hall or records?
Where can I research the history of Pai Xao?
Is there anyone who knows anything about inter-world travel?
Is there any continuity between the worlds people are coming from and the gate they came through?
I would appreciate having any of these questions answered, thank you.

I'm not from Germany, but I know a particularly nasty prosecutor who is. Or knew him, rather. I have to admit, I'm kind of excited about meeting someone else who comes from the world I know.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

What country are you from?
Did the Americas form their own nations?
Do you have automobiles?
Do you have airplanes?
Who is the pope?

[mia-clawed.livejournal.com]

I'm from the U.S.
Are you referring to North and South America? There's a fair number of nations on those continents.
Yes, of course.
Yep, airplanes too.
Oh, let me think...Benedict, I think? Though I can't remember the number for the life of me.

It's definitely a closely related world, but in the place I've just come from it's Pope Pius XI. The continuity change probably happened sometime in the last century. Or maybe during the Great War? So much shit happened there it's bound to have screwed up a few histories.

There is a library here. 'Os Dias Sao a Noite', I think it's called.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I will look into that immediately.

[halvedhowl.livejournal.com]

...The library doesn't give much about the city and such, if that's what you're looking for.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Honestly, I'm looking for anything that I don't already know. Even if I can't find much information on the city there, I think it's pretty safe to say that a library in a different world is going to have a few books that I haven't read before.

[faked-heart.livejournal.com]

Amestris....you wouldn't happen to know Nina and her dog Alexander, do you?

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

... Nina Tucker? How do you know about her?

[faked-heart.livejournal.com]

Both she and Alexander are with me at the moment. Are you one of her so-called 'brothers'?

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Where are you? I will come there right now.

[maybeimaleon.livejournal.com]

I'd expect there's almost as many worlds as there are people here.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Do you know how many people are here? Or is there a public records some place where I could look that up?

[maybeimaleon.livejournal.com]

If there is, I haven't heard about it yet. And it seems like new people come in all the time.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Is the city expanding? How can there be a constant influx of people in a small environment like this?

[deadliestofsins.livejournal.com]

Well look who wandered back in with his tail between his legs.

Hi, runt. Miss me?

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

Fuck. I thought I'd finally get some peace when the old man offed you. So this would be the disadvantage of time displacement.

[ix-enough.livejournal.com]

Yes, no, no, probably not, somewhere, don't think so, try the library, lots of people, and who knows.

[blackmagicjazz.livejournal.com]

Ah, a fellow seeker of answers-- but then again, we are all merely seekers in the great celestial scavenger hunt called life.

Name's Godot. Like my ladyfriend said, I'm investigating this place too.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

It's good to meet you, I'm sure we have a lot of information to share that could be helpful to each other. There's something you could help me out with right now; you come from the same time as Mia, right, so you're familiar with the sort of technology these journals are made of? I'm trying to find out something about whether there was previously a different version of myself here or possibly someone impersonating me. If it's the latter, I have a fairly good idea of who now. The problem is that the person I've been talking to is a very small child and so she doesn't understand the situation. She says that she talked to me using her journal, is there a way for me to backtrack and find the records of that conversation?

[blackmagicjazz.livejournal.com]

I hate to break it to you but I'm pretty new to this polka meet myself. I've been poking around the journals, though... I couldn't say for sure if there's an archive system or anything like that. Though I do intend to find out.

If there's anything else you need to know, ask. These busted old eyes have seen plenty in their short time in this world.

[livemarionette.livejournal.com]

...are you the same Ed I've been speaking with? If so, where had you and Alphonse gone? Pride is still with me.

...if not, we'll have to talk.

[fullmetalchemy.livejournal.com]

I've been here less than a day. You met my brother then? I would like to talk to you as well.

[livemarionette.livejournal.com]

I have. Your brother and....well, 'twin' isn't exactly accurate. Your lookalike. I had accompanied the other Ed to meet Alphonse, after finding Pride before Ed found him---unfortunately, the other Ed, Alphonse, and others seemed to vanish when we'd been out of sight for only a few minutes.
