[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.]

Just pegasus ponies! We fly, walk on clouds, and cover all the weather.
[A pause, and she turns to show off her regular wings.]
What, did you think these wings were just for show?
[Aaanyway...]
The other types of ponies usually hang near the ground. Unicorns have a horn and can use magic, and earth ponies are super strong and handle plant growth.
video
This is a little too surreal for a realist alchemist to handle all at once 8|]
So that's... Equestria. Got it...
[As much as it's possible to get this sort of situation. Seriously, talking ponies...]
video
[Man, this poor guy. She can tell he's having trouble processing this.]
video
Yes.
Oh boy.]
The world? What's the rest of it like, then?
video
[It was where she grew up, after all.]
It's this huge city in the sky, and it's got a weather factory, a coliseum, an there's a great view, since it's really high up. The only downside's that only pegasus ponies can live there, since we're the only ones who can walk on clouds.
[And hmm... other places!]
I hang around Ponyville these days. It's not fancy like Canterlot, but there's a lot to do there. It's got a library, a bakery, a roller derby and a bowling alley... It'd take a while to list it all. It's a pretty casual town, but just about everypony I know's pretty cool.
[Or at least friendly.]
As for Canterlot, it's this big, fancy-pants city, and it's where Princess Celestia lives. Every year they throw this huge party called the Grand Galloping Gala, but it's pretty stuffy. It got so bad that the princess invited us so we could shake things up a bit.
[Okay, so there's more, but it's a start!]
video
Must make the world pretty unique, then- to be full of just ponies. Are there other animals living there, and can they talk too?
video
[Except she's afraid of dragons, but... she still scolded one. Yup.]
Some do talk, though. Cows, mules, donkeys, and buffalo sure do. Not to mention griffins, diamond dogs, and sheep.
video
...well, at least there aren't pet humans. That would be way beyond his weirdness comprehension limit.]
Stuff like pegasus, griffins, and unicorns are all mythical where I come from. This is kind of hard to swallow.
video
We don't even have hue-mans in myths. Imagine going from a world without anything like 'em to a place full of 'em. I think we're even.
video
We've got horses where I'm from, but they're mostly farm animals, or for riding from place to place. The smaller ones are the ponies, and they're usually too little for that stuff.
[He's not entirely sure of protocol here - eg. what offends a talking pony - but he's just gonna wing it. He usually doesn't care who he offends anyway.]
video
video
...At any rate, this'll make your world pretty recognizable for the book. I doubt there are other worlds populated by talking ponies.
