[Video; Action for Vermilion City; backdated to yesterday evening]

[The feed opens up to a gorgeous sunset over the ocean. The sky is a brilliant red, the sinking sun is reflecting off the glittering waves...it was like what one would see in a resort commercial. The recorder seemed to be standing on a pier of some sorts as well, so there were multiple ships around.]

Pretty amazing, isn't it? With scenes like this, it's no wonder Vermilion City is known as the Port of Exquisite Sunsets. Don't worry, Yayoi, I'm saving this for you.

[With that, the camera turned around and showed Athrun, who was wearing his Orb military uniform. The sky behind him was a beautiful dark blue.]

I think that, out of all the places in this world, Vermilion City is the closest thing to where I live back home. It's good to be by the sea again, and there's plenty to do in town. If I truly am stuck here, I think this is where I'll want to live once I've beaten the Elite Four.

Out of curiosity, does anybody else here have a place like that? A place that resembles their home or that they'd like to live?

Also, on a different note, can anyone tell me about the gym leader here? Going by the sign near the gym, I suspect he uses Electric-types, but one can never be too sure.

Also, one more thing. Is he really a lieutenant?

Yep, same thing in my home where the whole house, including most of my room, is full of automails and everything a mechanic needs for her work.

[...Oh, she knows. She spent all that time in Mahogany Town. Traveling around the world is one of the best experiences after that... Wait, she shouldn't tell that to strangers!] It really is! I went home for months, then I woke up in mom's house here and traveling has been fun again. [Winry is a simple girl.]

[Well. That gets this engineer's attention.]

Automail? What's that?

[Right. World of pokémon where only a few know about those beauties. One day she'll drag Ed into a video feed to show a real automail.]

Think of it as electrically powered artificial limbs, that you can move with your will because they get the electricity is created by the movement of muscles~! They can also perform movements that aren't possible with the normal human body.

[...Oh wow, she's almost calm. For now. Still as excited as ever to explain about her masterpieces, but not flying to another galaxy...]

Oh, so prostheses. I've never been terribly into medical science, but I know a man back home with an artificial left arm. You can't even tell it's artificial, either.

Oh, I skipped the obvious word... Yes, prostheses. [Someone who knows something about them? This rings a bell, a girl - or a young woman, on Winry's first post knew about them too.] Wow, I think you're the second person I've talked to who knows them. Miss Lacus was first.

[That catches him by surprised, and it's evident on his face.]

Really? Well, that makes sense...she and I come from the same world. I had no idea you were acquainted with her.

[...they can be surprised together because that surprised Winry.]

Oh, so you know her... Er, I've talked with her once, so far. She welcomed me back to Johto in May, and I really want to talk with her more often.

I can understand why. She's a wonderful person.

Well, based on that one conversation we had -- she seems to be one of the sweetest persons I've ever met. So sure, I'll believe you.

Yep, that sounds like Lacus, all right. She's got a pure heart and is the most idealistic person I've met, but she understands people extremely well.

[Have a very warm smile, mister ~~though I don't have a real icon for it~~]

Sounds like you two are close. I'm pretty sure I won't disagree with you once I get to know her more. [Why would she disagree with you about Lacus? No reason.]

[See, she's getting to know all these good people for change! It's not like "Winry and the Amestris Military - part II" where she'd call someone like Mister Kimblee a very nice gentleman. She has learned something, maybe.]

We're from the same world. We've known each other for the past six years back home, and we've been through a lot together.

[...Right, she just heard about the being from the same world part before.]

Sounds a lot like two brothers from my hometown, except they've known each other for more than six years... [...just the two brothers? Geez, she should give herself more credit than that.] And me included, though they've been through a lot more than me, and a lot more than what they tell me.

Even that sounds a little different from things back home for me. Lacus is a close friend of mine, but she isn't my closest friend.

[A little apologetic look.]

Well, at least it's not the complete opposite either.

[Athrun recalls a time when it almost was the opposite, but there's no point on dwelling on what could have happened.]

Indeed. And I consider myself lucky to have a close friend here with me.

It's always great to have your close friends around. Mine weren't here when I came back, but they followed soon after me. I'm used to them not being in around, because they enjoy traveling too much, but being in a whole different world without them... [She shakes head. She should be used to it, they never even call, but still.]

It's still nice to know your friends are accessible.
