[Video post]

[It is a beautiful day outside, the sun is shining brightly in the sky, not a cloud in sight. The water looks cool and blue, and on it is a small boat with two rather enthusiastic blond children, leaning overboard and splashing. There's a strong looking man rowing and a woman who's hair is braided in several places and has a Flamel tattooed to her chest.

The boat docks on the riverbank and the two kids jump out, looking rather excited. The woman climbs out after them and watches them, a small smile at her lips.]

The wild kingdom... [Al murmurs, both Elrics look pretty amazed.]

Here, hold this. [Izumi Curtis drops a knife into Edward's hands.] This is a no man's island. [As she talks, Ed pulls the knife out of the little sheath, looking at it rather dubiously.] There is no electricity, no wells and no houses. There are wild beasts everywhere. You have to stay alive on this island, for one month. And you aren't allowed to use alchemy in this time period.

[Neither Ed nor Al look very impressed by this.] WHAT THE HELL?!

[Izumi waves as she walks back towards the boat.] I'll see you guys in a month. [Ed protests and she looks back.] One is all, all is one. If you can't find the answer in a month, I'll send you boys home. Bye~

[The boat leaves both children standing there, shocked. Edward finally snaps out of it and looks at his little device which has been recording, confused. He doesn't really remember ever getting it or know how it's working so he starts pushing buttons. After several annoyed beeps, the video stops at least. Another beep signifies that the audio is turned on.]

What do we do Al? I guess...I guess we need to find somewhere to sleep. Come on. [Ed's footsteps rustle the brush beneath him.]

(Ooc: Ed will be replying audio-style and probably needs audio posts as he won't be reading it XD)

[Ed pulls out the device, hmm, it was talking to him.]

We're exploring t'find a place to sleep!

[Audio]

[burningcourage.livejournal.com]

Really? That sounds exciting!

[Audio]

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's pretty exciting I guess. Except then we gotta do it for a month. I miss home already.

Ahaha. Pretend he's seven, too. Because there aren't chibi!human!Zel pics ;_;

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Huh? What's going on?

Audio

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

We're training to be alchemists!

Audio

[unluckychimera.livejournal.com]

Alch'mists? Is that like mages?

Audio

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Nope, Alchemy is a science. Only dumb people think it's magic.

[Audio.] He is not affected

[land-of-the-sun.livejournal.com]

Would you two be safe on your own?

[Audio]

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna protect Al, don't worry.

[Audio]

[land-of-the-sun.livejournal.com]

And who's going to protect you?

[Audio]

[notbritishgdit.livejournal.com]

...

Was that your mother?

[Audio]

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

No...our mom is...we don't have one. That's our new teacher. We're going to learn alchemy.

[Audio]

[notbritishgdit.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Mien is gone too.

She seems like quite of a harsh teacher. you two are too young to be on your own.

[Audio]

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Our mom's dead.

[Audio]

[notbritishgdit.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. Mine is too.

[audio]

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

She seriously just dumped you there?

[Audio]

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Yep! We're training!

[Audio]

[gonnabe1st.livejournal.com]

...'kay. So you're sure you'll both survive?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Brother, what are we going to do for food?

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Umm...I don't know, I made a trap so hopefully we get some!

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

But then won't we have to... kill it?

[oncedeadwind.livejournal.com]

From what I have read, a source of tinder might be a more immediate concern than a location of sleep. (Though not by much)

[cyberelric.livejournal.com]

Tinder? I don't think I know how to make a fire....

[oncedeadwind.livejournal.com]

Oh, right. Well ... in theory, the necessary ingredients are some manner of spark and something highly flammable. In your current environment, I'd think ...

Well, I've heard a magnifying glass and some straw might work?
