[Voice / Action] backdated to JANUARY 13th

[...So it's been a week. A full week since his parents had shown up in Luceti. And as of today, with the last bit of furniture in place, he and Al are officially "moved in". At least, in the sense of physically living there. Edward still finds himself looking out the window an awful lot and double-taking at the house number across the street, and at least three times now he's turned to approach the door of the Hughes' household instead of his own. He hasn't barged in unintentionally yet, at least. That would have been awfully embarrassing.

He's still not sure how he feels about this... home life. Thing. Adjustment is one thing, but actually coming to expect his mother's smiling face when he walks through the front door? It's a little scary. Wonderful in a lot of ways, but...

And that's not even getting into the issue of living so close to Hohenheim for this long, something he hasn't done since early childhood. And despite promising to give the man a chance, their relationship is tenuous at best, violent at its worst. He's still not calling the man "father", either. And there's poor Al in the middle, still stuck in his wheelchair... dammit...

Well, let's just say he's in desperate need of some distraction. So after giving it some thought, he turns to the journal-]


Hey, got a question for anyone listening out there-

I was talking to this kid a while back - Aoba - and something came up. Do we have some kind of directory of all the worlds people are from? I don't mean that world sharing class, I mean actual maps of all the different worlds, or countries within those worlds, or whatever.

Because if there isn't, then I'd like to make one. So if you wanna get involved, talk about where you're from here- show a map, gimme an idea of what it's like. I'll take what I can get.


[A little while later, he'll be venturing to his usual hotspots- the library, for some books for poor Al to read, and the Battle Dome, to take out some of his pent-up frustrations (and to duke it out with a few of the homunculus for kicks), then to the shops for a bit of perusing. He can be pestered around down at any time, looking uncharacteristically unsure, though he's been looking that way all week, so at this point it may not be anything new.

Eventually he'll return home to his family some time before dinner, carrying with him (in addition to Al's books) a toolbox, a bag containing some clothes, and a collection of sticky buns for dessert/snacking-

...but not before barging into the Hughes house accidentally. Apparently there really is a first time for everything.]

[You don't want to know, Ed. You really don't.]

At least. I can't imagine many other worlds have anything like the Sea of Death. It'd be rather sad if they did.

I don't know enough about the other two to give proper information, so I'll refrain from that and only tell you about the third.

[ ... ]

It's name is 'Sol Cluster', also known as the Tower of Harvestasha, or even the Tower of Tyria. It has a high level of technological advancements compared to this world, and focuses mostly on sound-related technology.

[... Now that she thinks about it, she could ... really go on about this Tower for quite a while. She's not sure if she wants to talk THAT much, so she decides to make it easier on herself.]

By the way, is there anything specific I should mention or elaborate on, or should I only describe it's layout?
cluster: (Elated ||)

[voice]

[personal profile] cluster 2012-01-15 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah. That makes it easier.

[Time to be pro-levels of lazy!]

All anyone really has to know is that my world has beings known as Reyvateils living in it. As far as I know, it is the only world Reyvateils exist in. The Sea of Death I had mentioned earlier, along with the Blast Line, are also notable enough that others should be able to recognize it as being from my world specifically.

The simplest way to put it would be that Reyvateils are beings who can convert the songs they sing, and the feelings within them, into power. These songs can be used to preform magic, or control certain types of machinery.

They also come in three different types: Reyvateil Origins, which are entirely man-made and very rare, pure-blooded betas, which are created from the Origins and could also be considered "man-made", and 3rd generations, which are born from a human father and reyvateil mother. Betas and 3rd generations are the most common, if only because just three Origins exist in total.

The betas and 3rd generations are capable of doing so, but the Origins are not. [ ... ] Except for one, who was specially made to be able to.

... Yes.

[... And she respects Kurogane so much but ... that kind of makes her a tad (unsure) as well.]

I'm certain there was a reason for it, but I was never told what it might be.
cluster: (Explanation ||)

[Almost immediately after Ed finishes that sentence, Tyria starts raising her voice at him, her otherwise monotone speech showing some decently strong emotion in it.]

Kurogane would never do messed up things! Everything he did was for a reason, no matter what it was!
cluster: (Serious ||)

[voice]

[personal profile] cluster 2012-01-18 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. He was a brilliant man who only had the best intentions in mind for me. ['Even when he ...'] He must have made me the way he did in order to give me a chance at happiness, not for any creepy reasons.
cluster: (Stare ||)

[There's a small pause where Tyria realizes she was blurting out rather personal things in her Kurogane-related defensiveness. It's also during that pause that she realizes she doesn't really care too much.]

That's correct. Ding! You've made it to the next round. However, for insulting Kurogane, you've been sent back to square one. Poor you.
cluster: (What is knocking ||)

[voice]

[personal profile] cluster 2012-01-20 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
... I don't know. It could be for any reason. I can only guess.

[Never mind how adamant she was about it being for her happiness before.]
cluster: (Unsure ||)

[voice]

[personal profile] cluster 2012-01-21 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
... You're asking a very complex question. I'm very different from even the other Reyvateil Origins, so the answer I could give you would be worlds different from an answer from any other.
cluster: (Stare ||)

[voice]

[personal profile] cluster 2012-01-21 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine then.

[ ... ]

It can be very alienating. The people of my Tower look at me as a goddess, not a man-made being. Being able to communicate with the planet is quite exhilarating, however. The same goes for the power I am able to draw from that ability. Song magic itself has always been a pleasure to use.

Also, being 700 years behind the times is awkward. There are too many things that have changed in that time, and the generation gap is rather extreme. For example, the food everyone eats now has also changed far too much. No one eats regular udon anymore - the broth is either too thin or too thick. The funbuns are all knock-offs, and the fried bread hasn't been quite the same either. [ ... ] I want fried bread ...
