[Blond fifteen-year-old boy sitting at the kitchen table of one of the standard apartments, dressed in a black shirt and a strikingly red jacket. There's a glass of water in front of his white-gloved hands.]

Edward Elric, state alchemist. I know this place has those bots to fix everything up after... what happened... but I'm offering my help, too, if anyone wants it. I'm skilled at transmutation, and I can fix something little, like this -

[He intentionally smashes the glass of water in front of him. It ends up in big, jagged pieces, water splashed over the tabletop. Since he planned this, it barely takes him any time at all to afix the array he needs in his mind, clap his hands together, and place his palms firmly on the table. With a flash of blue electric light, the glass becomes whole again, complete with the water in it again. He raises it to his lips and takes a sip from it, showing off that even the water's okay to drink again.]

- or something bigger, like a building. I'm not asking for much of anything in exchange - there's still stuff I want to learn about here, if anyone has time for questions.

And I'm looking for a mechanic, too. Someone who could work on prosthetic limbs. [He's not sure he wants to announce why he needs that on an open network right now, though a decent handful of people already know since they saw him without his prosthetics during the whole horror mess they just got through.]

[ Oh, it's wheelchair guy. With a lot of words said and an experiment done that would actually excite Gorgug a lot, normally. But he's still in a fog after the events of the mission, and...

Well, he almost doesn't reply at all. But he thinks he might be able to help. ]

Hi, um. It's Gorgug--the green guy. [ His voice is quiet, awkward. ] If you can't get a hold of a mechanic, Aurora... I mean, she might be able to help with the limbs. Or, if she can get a hold of the materials... she might have something that can help.

If no one else can, [ he clarifies again. A last resort, at least. But then he thinks, and adds: ] --Unless, did you find any?

[ Maybe he needs them repaired? Gorgug might be able to help with that... ]

[fullmeddle]

[He sighs heavily.]

I got them back. But they haven't been working quite right since then - they keep failing on me. And I know Aurora would help, but they got messed up in her hospital so I don't really want to trust her with them if I don't have to.

[ Oh. ] Well... I'm a mechanic. I mean, I woke on vehicles and weapons, but... I can take a look. I've got a lab, so, um-- I can be careful.

[ Which is probably the most important point? But maybe being 'a mechanic' helps. ]

[fullmeddle]

[Hmmmm. He's not 100% sure how much he trusts that, given that it's his arm and his leg they're talking about, but it might be worth it.]

Thanks. We'll see if that helps.

[tinflower]

Okay. Uh, you can see if anyone here actually knows about prosthetics. But let me know if nothing else comes up.

[ You know, just seeing if anything else comes up before they go down his route. ]
