[There's a teenage boy staring at the camera for just a fraction too long before he starts to speak. Ed's a smart kid, and while he doesn't have any kind of phone remotely like this back home, he figured out how to use it pretty quickly. Still, he's done a lot more listening and watching and reading than actually communicating with other people through it. He wants to make sure he understands it fully before he uses it.

But he's ready now. Once he's satisfied that it's recording, he nods, then sits back.]

Hi. I'm Edward Elric. I'm an Alchemist. But from what I've heard, that doesn't mean anything to most of you. But even if you don't have alchemy, you do have science, right? What do the scientists of your worlds study?

[There, question posed successfully. He's mastered this fascinating device. He turns it off, and waits for people to reply.]

We don't have alchemy like that where I come from.

You and everyone else here. [Not that Ed's been getting remotely frustrated about that at all.]

I mean, I can do this ... [he moves another book through the air into his hand, and as he touches it, it turns into gold.] For whatever that's worth.

It's worth a lot of time in jail, for one. [Transmuting things to gold is extremely illegal. Also he's not doing it with a transmutation circle or even by clapping and that's just... terrifyingly weird.] But there's a girl I was talking to who'll probably be your new best friend.

[WELL THAT'S ALL HIS "ALCHEMY" POWER CAN DO OK. also he like ... murdered a lot of people so. jail time for artificially inflating economies is the least of his worries. which is why his face stays super unimpressed.]

Yeah? Who's that?
