The hell is this...?
[Ed rolled out of bed, tugging at the leash attached to his collar. His eyes followed it, brows furrowing when he noticed it going right through the wall. Everything was wrong with this. EVERYTHING. One, he felt like a dog - not in the military sense, but the literal sense. Two, where did this leash end? Three, HOW WAS IT GOING THROUGH THE WALL?
... More importantly, why was he able to feel the texture of his clothes with his right hand?
WHAT THE FUCK WAS GOING ON? He got dressed, threw on his coat and followed the leash out of his room. He was gonna find out right now.]
[Lithuania frowned at the cord--he refused to think of it as a leash--stretching out from his collar and disappearing into a wall, sitting up and standing up a bit distractedly.
Of course, nearly falling over from the lack of feeling in his left leg made him forget the leash in favor of that realization. His right arm didn't seem to be working well, either. Rather, it worked, but it didn't feel like it was there at all.]
[This was so weird. Why was he able to feel anything with his arm and leg? Admittedly, it took a few minutes for him to get used to walking on a leg he could feel, but after a few minutes of stumbling he managed to find his balance again.
The leash continued to cut through the wall as he walked, but when he turned the corner he was able to see the entire thing. He followed it down the hall, stopping when he saw that it was cutting through the door of one of the dorm rooms.
He knocked loudly, startling himself when he was able to feel his kunckles scraping against the door.]
[Lithuania stumbled up--it was a bit like walking on a numb foot, only even when his foot was numb he could feel the numbness. It was more as if his foot was gone entirely. Still, he made it to the door and opened it.]
Ah, hello? Oh...
[He was reminded of the collar issue when he found his own connected to this boy's.]
[Well, Ed could honestly say he wasn't expecting this. He didn't know what he thought he was going to find at the end of the leash, but it wasn't this.]
Oh? Really? [SUSPICIOUS ED IS SUSPICIOUS.] Mind telling me what the hell is going on?
[Ed was just as surprised at the calm that seemed to settle in his mind, soothing his anger to mere annoyance. He rubbed the back of his neck, confusion overtaking him at the inexplicable feeling of warmth under his gloved fingers. He pulled his hand away, flexing it like he was trying to shake off the sensation.]
So you woke up with this thing attached to you, too?
I... I'm not sure. It's working fine, [stares at it, clenching and his fist a couple of times, feeling the fabric brushing against his hand] but it doesn't feel right.
[thinking thinking thinking. This started when he woke up, this had to have something to do with the collars. Ed frowns and pulls off his glove to show Lithuania his automail.]
I shouldn't be able to feel anything at all, but I can.

Seriously? What about your leg? Your left one?

Nothing. It's like it fell asleep, or isn't there, except I can still use it.
[Just awkwardly.]

It's something to do with this thing, then?
[He gestures to the cord.]
