If Ed had been another type of person, he might have wondered why he hadn't seen the owner of the store around in several weeks, but as it was, he didn't particularly notice.  Less people to talk to meant more time for studying and more time to figure out how to test his current theory.

If you were walking down the hall of the third floor at a certain time in the morning, you might hear some odd noises coming out of room 326.

Namely yelling. 

"Dammit, Winry!  OW.  It's not like I MEANT to lose my automail!   It just happened, okay?  I already told you!"

[OOC:  For Winry]

Ed was just stupid enough that when he was bored during the night, the decision to go wander around to see what he could find seemed a good one.  He found his way over towards the principal's office...and wasn't there some kind of fuss over her?  Her?  Or him?  He hadn't really been paying attention.  He'd thought that he might have been onto something to solve his Gate issues, but it had all pretty much fallen flat earlier today.  Thus?  Wandering.

"What the...?"  He blinked when he came up on a pile of rubble and what looked like a wall with a hole blasted through it.  That was odd.  Why would someone rebuild a school like that.  It took a second for him to notice the half drawn chalk transmutation circle on the floor.  And another fully drawn one on the wall.  Huh.  Alchemy like that had to be Mustang.  Especially given the stones that looked like they were blackened by flames.

Almost unthinkingly, Edward clapped his hands and restored the hallway to its original state.  Rubble, rocks, new walls, all absorbed back into the walls and floors.  He picked up the knives that were scattered across the hallway too.  Ed told himself he didn't like Mustang, and he didn't care much if there was a bloodstain half-obliterating the transmutation circle on the floor, but somehow the lack of caring translated into a need to check on Al as soon as possible and go find Mustang later today.  Maybe to yell at him for being an idiot.

[OOC:  Not for interaction or broadcast, merely establishy whee}

Ed wasn't sure where his roommate had gone, but he'd taken sleeping bags and pillows from the room so Edward figured he was gone for the night.

Which might have been the cue for some people to be loud or play music.  Edward, however, pulled out the alchemy books he'd taken back from Al and his notebook and began to try again to figure out why exactly he couldn't get home.

[OOC: Door and post are open!\

Ed was frowning over a book in his hand, stopping every few minutes to scribble notes into a notebook.  The number of books laying on his bed was truly impressive.  The fact that he'd been engrossed in them for several days was possibly an explanation why he'd not been out of his cabin for too long.

[OOC:  Open for cabinmates or the little brother or fake big sibling]

The cabin had gotten noisy and Ed didn't really feel like reading or sleeping for once so he wandered around and between the cabins, trying to figure out the layout of the camp so next time he made his way down here it wouldn't be because he was relying on following girls without looking like it.

He was also wondering if this school was going to finally be the path he needed to find his way back to Al and Amestris.

[OOC: for kitty__fetish omg]

So two of the most important things to know about Edward are:

He's short

He doesn't have his automail. 

The second only really makes sense if you're familiar with Fullmetal Alchemist canon so let me explain. 



And I give you not just cookies but also rum if you made it through all of that.  Questions?  Comments?  Things that I probably totally missed?

"It's Edward. I'm busy. I'll call you back when my head's not in a book I'm not."
