[network] @frfujimoto; answering the weird writing on the walls [8am on Day 64] [open]

[Shiro is from the magical land of 2009 and isn't that great with technology anyway, so he is not even going to attempt the video function. Nope, it's straight-up text. Someone's going to have to help him with the video function later.]

"ALPHONSE ELRIC, STEPHANIE BROWN, EDWARD ELRIC, GREED, DAY SIXTY-ONE, TRAVELLING WEST"

That is on the wall of the house I am in.
There is also the name 'lelric'.
Would they be the welcoming committee who can possibly explain why there is snow outside in April?
Because I would really like to know how that happened.

Actually it doesn't even have to be from them, some answers in general would be nice.

[Like how he is not dead after all the shit he just went through. Or where his sons are. Those are pretty high on his list of 'what the fuck is going on'.]

Glad to hear it. It's not been easy getting some people to understand what they're in for. [Not long ago she has had to appeal to one guy's fixation with his balls to make him worry about frostbite.] If you've got some experience, we're always looking for more tips for the survival guide. Anything's appreciated.

[He may be new, but getting a basis for cooperation started as soon as possible is important.]

There is a meeting planned in about three days. If you keep moving on their trail, that should get you to where a lot of us are going to be. Even if you don't make the main event, someone'll stick around and wait for you. Don't worry about it.

[She chuckles a little at the joke, it's got good timing.] Yeah, I... might've heard that one before. Not just me, though. Looking out for each other is the least we can do.

I heard about the meeting, and I plan on heading that way, though I don't think I'll make it in time. One of the people I spoke to, she said it would be possible to be patched in on these...

[He doesn't even have a word for what this tablet is, he is from a time when flip-phones were the cool thing to have.]

...giant-PDAs? However it's possible, I want to be involved, if I can be.

[Partially as a show of good faith, and partially so he can get as much information about the situation here as he can.]

Tablets, [Shepard fills in readily, and flicks hers into video mode. She smiles at the camera, a tired but sharp-eyed woman with hair just growing from neat into flyaway.]

I'll be sending out a message when we all sit down to business. We can patch you right in. That's at least one thing that's convenient in this town.

[Oh no she's attractive. And way too young for him but he can appreciate that she looks like someone in charge, there's always a need for people with a commanding presence.

Shiro, for his part, looks really old all over (wrinkles, grey hair, old man chain on his glasses, etc.), but the look in his eyes is one you would expect from someone in their 20s, not their 50s. Even if his body is worn down, his spirit is not.

Also, interestingly enough, he is wearing the clothes of a Catholic priest, though they are partially obscured by the coat he has partially pulled on.]

Aah, tablets, right. These things don't exist, where I am from.

And thank you, for helping me with this.
