A: Network (Video & Action to anyone in house 58); 9am - Open[Alphonse has always been careful of his body, and he's being doubly careful of it here in Norfinbury. The cold and wetness of the surroundings could easily cause rust or for his joints to seize up, and Ed didn't even have alchemy here to fix him up if that happened. Add into that equation that, considering the way injections work on him and he has to eat here, he has no idea what rust would actually do to him here and he is extremely diligent about maintenance.
Which is why that morning saw him carefully rubbing himself down with a wet towel and some scented soap that he's been carrying around in his backpack. It's not ideal lubricant, but he can't wait any longer before giving his armour a proper cleaning, instead of just drying himself off at night, so it will have to do. Unfortunately, he has never cleaned himself in such cold temperatures before and he forgot to factor that in, leaving the towel on his face too long and...
...it's stuck.
He's done his best to cut off most of it, but it's left him with a weird half beard and sideburns of towel. Cutting it can't do any more, scrubbing it isn't helping, and he doesn't have any hot water, so he's at his wits end. Which is why there's a very sheepish looking suit of armour on the video feed right now, gesturing helplessly to his new facial addition. He doesn't really like to use the video often, it raises too many questions, but needs must.]Um, does anyone know how to get cloth off metal when it's frozen on?
B: Network (Voice); 10pm - Open[Hopefully the day's travelling will have blunted people's memories of his embarrassment earlier, and he can make the broadcast he had actually been intending to make.]Things kind of went crazy for a few days, huh? I still don't really understand what happened and I know some people got hurt during it, but I hope everyone is okay now.
[As okay as anyone can be given the circumstances. He knows a lot of people are still hurting, and he can't deny he's worried about Tim after the crazy messages yesterday.]We have to try and focus on the good things we're achieving, even despite these obstacles and hardships, and be proud of that. There are people finding ways over the walls, and new clues being found all the time, and we just unlocked a door down in the tunnels that leads to a whole new area with a hospital. It might not seem like much, but it all adds up and the more clues we get, the closer we are to finding a way home.
[This has been your regularly scheduled dose of ridiculous optimism.]
