On the roof of the dorms, late Monday

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

Edward is sitting out on the roof of the dorms, staring off into the night and brooding. He's got a cup of coffee and an older, ratty notebook beside him but he doesn't seem to be very interested in either.

[Open to any and all interaction, he prolly needs it.]

Edward sighed again. "It's complicated, but... I did something really badly stupid several years ago, and my brother and I were both ... punished for it. His punishment for my sin was very, very obvious and your roommate ... doesn't bear it." He looked at his coffee mug.

"The problem is, though, I know just by looking at him, and hearing him that he is my little brother. But he's not, because I just recently talked to him and he still ... bore the mark of our sin."

Edward shuts up, figuring he's not making any sense anyway.

"You didn't say he was your brother." Walter squeezed his eyes shut for a second trying to wrap his brain around that. "Alphonse said he had no idea where his brother was. You say he's not your Alphonse, but he's an Alphonse. So he's sort of your brother, but not... oh my. No wonder you look like you have a headache."

"Yeah." Edward snorted, and shook his head. "I think I'm just going to blame it on this place being, well... this place. Just as I'd finally settled in, gotten kinda comfortable here it has to throw a couple of curveballs at me."

"I've only been here a few days and I'm already starting to figure out that I probably won't ever figure out this place. But that's a real mind bender there. I guess I'll have a chance to talk to Al about how that is for him, too."
