Janie happily waited on the swings for anyone who wanted to be her new friend. She was in a strange place where she could meet anyone and everyone, but it was something she was used to. She didn't even have to be afraid anymore, and she was changing time and place.

Would she ever stay in one place, and be able to call it home?

[She listens wide eyed, and nods]

Did he destroy the gate? Why did they want to start the war? It's a little confusing...

[OOC: It works for me. She travels across time and distances, so going to 1923 Germany is very feasible for her!]

I-I don't know why they wanted to start the war really. I guess some people want to destroy anything that's different or that they don't understand. A-and I've seen people try to start wars because they thought that the despair and suffering of others could be used to...to make them do something.

But we did destroy the Gate on this side. And Colonel Mustang must have destroyed the one in our world. He...he's not the kind of man to leave something like that undone.

People don't always make much sense. I'm a person too, but I don't understand how people can be mean and not like each other cause they're different.

Do you miss your world?

[Smiles a little sadly in a way that makes him look, momentarily, years older than he is, then brightens.]

I'm sure I will miss it--I'll miss people there and places, like our friend Winry and the town that Ed and I grew up in, and just knowing where things are and their history. I mean I'll learn all that here eventually too. But really so long as I'm with my brother.... That's what matters most to me.

You must miss your home a whole lot though. What's it like where you come from?

It's a real nice town. We got two mills and a general store, and everybody who wants work can get it. I like going to the school, but I don't like learning the numbers.

Hmmm. I don't know if it'll be the same, but when I was learning alchemy I had to learn a lot of stuff to do with numbers. I had to know the percentages of each element that made up all the things around me. The first step in doing a transmutation is understanding all of that stuff.

I bet you might need to understand all the things that happen when you travel too, before you can figure out how to control it.

It is? I'll try to learn them more. The answers don't always come out the same which is why I quit sometimes.

I can help you with that, don't worry.

Come on, I'll introduce you to Ed.
