[Is stripped down to his boxers staring at his automail in a sort of abject shock... The forearm? Riddled with bullet holes. Tries to move his fingers, but all he accomplishes is a sort of whiny mechanical sound- and the entire arm locks up. Leg? Not much better. Automail makes a good bullet deflector!]

Winry's gonna KILL me!

[Stopping to appreciate the view for a moment before,] So what's wrong?

[fmed]

[Sighs, still trying to move his arm, and doesn't see the look at all.] My uh, mechanic... isn't here... [Which, good, because she can't kill him from another world, right?] My automail has been totally trashed. [When his arm still won't move, focuses on his leg, trying to wiggle his toes.]

[captaininnuendo]

Automail?

You know, I'm pretty good at technology, want me to take a look?

[fmed]

That'd be fine. I had it looked at by Donatello before, so he has schematics. But- [Shrugs with one shoulder.] I can't really get to him right now.

[fmed]

[Is currently too absorbed in trying to get some movement out of his toes to notice her.]

[fmed]

[The sound of a female voice startles him, and he jumps, looking up to see a new face. Relaxes. Jumpy? Who, Ed?]

Back in my world. It's not uncommon where I'm from. Now if it will just work, so my mechanic doesn't kill me!

[soul_strength]

Um... Do you need some help, Ed? [Eyes the messed up automail with a glint like he wants to take it appart and trys not to sound happy that it's so torn up and he may get the chance to.]

[fmed]

[Oh hey, little brother that's not... Wow it's weird to hear that voice say 'Ed' and not 'Brother.' It still strikes him how old Al looks, and it makes him sad to think that his own brother missed out on that because of Ed. But then he notices the glint in this Al's eye... Why is he suddenly reminded of Winry and his watch?]

Help... would be appreciated...

[soul_strength]

[No sad for Alphonse! He smiles and goes to help, examining the outside damage and the inside from the holes.] Can't you fix the outside with your alchemy... thing?[Still doesn’t really understand Alchemy.]

The inside is understandable from what I see, but some things here broke, but you can fix those with it too right?

[fmed]

[Shakes his head, even as his face goes a little white in memory.] In order to transmute something, you have to have a very detailed knowledge of what it is, what it is made up of, and how it works. I don't know enough to fix everything... And the lastand only time I tried to repair my automail using alchemy, Winry... um... Wrench. Big wrench. [Shudders.]
