*raising his hands to show they're empty. just a harmless old grandpa here.*

It's all right, I'm not going to hurt you.
tonewlengths: (I'm on to you!)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-25 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I don't believe you!
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed looking serious or slightly sad (Those who would resign their souls)

*...you are not my Rapunzel. :(*

I really have no reason to hurt you. I... used to know someone a lot like you. She was a dear friend of mine.
tonewlengths: (Get my agent on the phone)

[You've seen my memories, you know my fears.]

You don't know anything about me, how can I be like your friend? I'm not falling for it.
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed looking thoughtfully sad (The distance needed to reach you)

*unfortunately, yes.*

My friend was... *sigh, starting over* This place draws in people from different worlds, different timelines. Different situations where a single choice, a single event may have changed the entire direction of our histories.

Your world is... it's a place filled with music. *he's thinking back, now, to the parts of what he saw that were truth* ...With floating lights on your birthday, where you can communicate with animals and have a lizard for a friend. Walls covered in paintings... vibrant forests... clear open skies... her world was your world, with a different choice.

[Oh my gosh what are these words, taking several steps back from him]

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-25 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
I know about the world you came from. I know you're scared... I want to help, if you'll let me. I swear, I will not hurt you. I could never hurt you. My friend... the girl who came from the same history as you, I never could have hurt her, either. I did my best to protect her, and she did the same for me, when I was much younger.
tonewlengths: (Desolation)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-25 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
No, this doesn't make sense, I don't understand-
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed looking sadly wistful (Wide awake here for days in a row)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-25 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
I know. It's not an easy thing to understand at all.

There are people here that I know from my own past, but younger than I knew them. There are people here who look like those I once knew, but come from different pasts, like you. There are some here who share histories... none of it is easy to understand, but it's true.

And even though you aren't from the same history as my friend... I will protect you, as I would for her, if you'll let me.
tonewlengths: (Big wide world)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-25 10:30 am (UTC)(link)
But I don't know you! I... [I need to discuss this with Pascal]
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed looking sadly wistful (Lost loves)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-25 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
No.... you don't, and that's unfortunate. But I know you, or at least a you who made a different choice, at some point in the past. Ah... I will answer truthfully any questions you have, if it helps.

*or even if it doesn't '-'*
tonewlengths: (Seriously every cave spells doom fo me)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-25 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...I don't know where to start with questions, what am I supposed to say...
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling softly (Somehow I just know)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-25 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
You don't have to ask any right away, of course. This has to be overwhelming to you... it's a lot to take in, and figure out.

Although... if you need a place to stay, I can offer you that. My roommates and I run an inn, you'd be able to use one of the rooms until you're settled, and you could lock the door to make sure no one can sneak in while you're there, even us.
tonewlengths: (Let me fix that)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-25 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you roommates with Wander? I... I don't know, Red said there were free rooms upstairs, so...
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling (So much joy in life)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-26 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, you've met Wander? I am, yes, though we don't live in the Inn, exactly.

And of course Red's found you... There are a few rooms, but they're unfurnished and unsecured. I won't force you to stay with us, and the Inn is temporary housing at best, anyway, but it's designed for people like yourself. People who might need some time to get their feet under them before finding their own place.
tonewlengths: (Bitch I think I know what stars are)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-26 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I might come check it out some time, maybe. It sounds nice.
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling broadly (An eternity that glows so brightly)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-26 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
You'd always be welcome. Ah, there's a tea house, too, where you can come for tea or a full meal any time.
tonewlengths: (Breaking waves)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-26 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I can clean up for that.
tonewlengths: (Doe eyed)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-26 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, to pay for the meal.
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling confusedly (Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich?)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-26 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, that... I'll let you have the first couple for free while you get settled. Just don't tell Sion, okay?
tonewlengths: (Smooooooth)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-26 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
A-Are you sure that's okay?
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling softly (Somehow I just know)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-27 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't offer if it wasn't. Don't worry.
tonewlengths: (Unsure)

[personal profile] tonewlengths 2012-06-27 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
[Gosh I am so unsure about all these people trying to give me free things it is super confusing]
nometal_alchemist: Old Ed smiling softly (It's not okay but we're all right)

[personal profile] nometal_alchemist 2012-06-28 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
*just accept it!*

Remember you can come by if you need a safe place to stay, tonight, too.
