September 1, 1923. A day that will live in infamy.

( Everything burned )

.....Brother. Judai.

Come to me, to the Commons.

We have much to talk about.

I totally forgot Brother's birthday! Oops....it was the third, wasn't it? What was I...oh, that's right, I was too busy sleeping to realize it.

Have no fear! I have his present for when he comes back. And a cake. Complete with lovely candles. Judai, you of course are invited to have some~♥

I should sing something appropriate for him, shouldn't I~

( ....This is a birthday song? )

........Sagami Bay, oh say can I see what role is in this? So close, I can hear and see the pikadon from here~♥

( He's especially frisky today )

Brother.....I know you....I know that you....

....this is all my fault. I know it is. I told him I knew what he was in his universe and I.....

...I have to te--GRRG....N....no......!!!!

......


................................................


[very weird sounds echoing into the PDA, like bones cracking and creaking, followed by gasping and panting. There is a very eerie ripping sound, followed by a monstrous snarl]

Unacceptable.

This bullshit ends now.

( And with each chrous, the song becomes more literal )

((OOC: Yubal has forced herself awake and had re-taken Al due to Ed's reversion to Pride. This time, however, it's a whole new stage - Al not only now has fully purple skin and all of the Yubal markings, but his hair is Yubal-like, he has the chicken-like talons....and he has wings. He has set several things on fire in Loh-Tessera and has been cuffed for doing so, but if anyone goes to see what's happened he will already be gone. The small fires he set will burn themselves out (or perhaps the Warden did it?), but as a result Loh will probably smell burnt and there will be a bit of smoke in the hallway.

Also, feel free to comment on the strange purple ...human...monster thing with black wings and ripped black clothing stalking the compound, cackling madly. Thankfully, the red cloak is safe and he will not be stalking the compound for too long - but it is and odd sight either way. Sort of.))

Intriguing. My name is in alchemy.

I wonder. Does this mean I, as Al, am the spirit of alchemy? Able to unlock its secrets?

.....It appears so.....for I have just unlocked one very-----uuug....n-NO--!!!

[thud]

.....m

........................

...........!!!C-colonel-san!!

((OOC: Thanks to Belldandy, YubAl's wish for Al to go away has backfired. Guess who's in control for a little bit :D))

Brother.......

I don't....care if it's....not the one from my.....He's....here.

That means he'll come back soon. Yes, oh yes

((OOC: Strikes private.))

Well. While you were all upsetting the Warden and causing the cuffs to hurt people, I pressed my clothing. They're quite smooth now. I love being tidy. ♥

....

I learned something interesting today. More people died in Hiroshima than in Antietam. And in far less time.

........I wonder.

((OOC EDIT: Anyone wandering into Yil-Tria by some chance will notice several books scattered around, tattered clothing and some slightly charred bedsheets - Yubal left ASAP after this.))

....Spooky's gone.

I suppose you'll have to do the trick then

((OOC: Strikes are private))

( OOC Explanation Again )

.....

I....

I should probably do something.

Moping won't solve any problems.

And it won't get me any closer to what I want

I should-!!!! HEY-

[sound of something rustling, transmission ends abruptly]

((OOC: Strikes are thoughts. Al has "disappeared" similar to Riza, as if the kidnapper got him. In actuality he rustled some paper over the PDA to make it sound like he was in a scuffle and will be casually hanging out in and around the library, as well as rooftops and other hiding places, for a good amount of time to come. The reasons: to uncover the meaning of the flame matrix he got from Riza and also to investigate Sagami Bay, the location which Alphonse first received a tip about regarding the Amestris uranium bomb post-Econtra-influenced!Shambala movie. As a result, anyone looking for books on alchemy, physics, history and/or Japan will find that entire shelves have been cleaned out - yes, Yubal's that compulsive))

Noki-san, that was a very fun time I had with you. We'll have to do it again sometime. You cheered me up a lot.

( Screened from Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye )

I was wondering....would anyone else like me to come visit them? I am very good at making myself indispensible to those in need. All you need to do is ask children. ♥

((OOC: Strikes private))

....A puppy.

I don't like puppies. Anyone who wants what's left of it can have it. But I don't need a toy like this. I prefer my kittens.

I wish my brother would stop hiding from me. All the suffering he's putting me through is making me very upset. But I still love him regardless of how much he clearly hates me. Like what I fee-

I suppose I'll just have to compensate somehow. Choices, choices~♥


((OOC: Strikes illegible. Al has NOT been Kupi-fied - he's been Yubel-ified, as per what will happen here. So, uh......yeah. Judai and Brother love and hate abounds.))
