[Someone looks rather....pleased with himself. Which depending on how well you know him will probably determine whether this is such a good thing or not, given how much of a brat Ed can be at times.]

Okay, I know I mentioned this idea before but now I've finally got everything signed off on it! Thanks to the Major.

[Which he really is grateful for. He just wishes he didn't have to work around the whole 'being a minor thing'. Ed gestures behind him to show a small little shop, not yet decorated but simple enough for what he intends.]

I'll probably need a bit yet to properly set things up but in a few days or so I should be good to go. Anyone who wants anything made or fixed, provided we have the materials, I should be able to help. Or Al. Not sure yet if he'll still want to keep with his animal job or not and there is school, but besides that we'll be around to help. Prices will probably depend on the item in question on a case by case basis and how much potential research might need to go into it with the materials.

[ooc: Reasons you really want Al instead of Ed fixing or making you anything. Seriously....I am so sorry for everyone before they learn this lesson.]

Of course I want to keep my animal job. [Is it illegal to have 3 part time jobs? Because he has that many.] And my job placement one.

But I'll still help you out with the shop. Someone has to be there to change things when your... [How to put this delicately.] sense of style doesn't match what the customer wants.

[braided_icarus]

You can't just go around helping everyone that asks, Al. What job placement?

[Ed does not recall this. Or maybe Al told him and he forgot. Which is possible.]

What's wrong with my sense of style? They'll get things fixed to be like a hundred times more awesome!

video.

[alchemicallybonded]

I'm not. But I wasn't sure I'd be allowed to keep my job at the zoo since I'm not registered so I thought I'd look around for other options. [But so far no one's made him leave.] I help imPorts find jobs, whether they're registered or not.

[He probably mentioned it at some point.]

Not everyone has the same sense of style. Lan Fan didn't like the mask you fixed for her.

video.

[braided_icarus]

Oh. Right. Guess that makes sense. So long as you don't overdo it.

[Even if it would be theoretically impossible for Al to really overwork himself with the armor, Ed would still want him to take some time.]

That mask was awesome. Not my fault she didn't appreciate it.

You'll be on speed dial.

[Thankfully, somehow, Casa la Kill manages to stand for one more day. Will miracles ever cease!]

[braided_icarus]

Sure. Just make sure if something is broken that you have all the pieces for me. I need all the materials to be able to fix it properly.

Video

[glitterateur]

Anything made or fixed? At all?

Video

[braided_icarus]

Pretty much. So long as I have access to the base materials to make it from. Or all the pieces if something needs to be fixed. Why? Did you need help with something?

[glitterateur]

["A hamster ball large enough for me to roll to school in" is her first thought, but that's a pretty tall order-- better to test the waters first.]

Maybe! I have a couple of pigs and while they're really well behaved sometimes they get excited and destroy stuff! Ooor they eat it.

...if I brought you a ton of plastic and a picture of what something should look like, could you make it?

[braided_icarus]

Oh. Yeah, pets.....can do that. But uh, plastic it depends what you want me to make, exactly. It doesn't need any other materials?

[glitterateur]

No! ...maybe? Okay what if I brought you a hundred smaller versions of what I want, could you make those into a bigger version? That way you could see what they normally need and also have the materials handy!

[biotically]

Wow, so you really managed to make a business out of that? Amazing, I hope if goes...well.

This seems like the right kind of time to start one, with how much people seem to like imports.

video

[braided_icarus]

Yeah. Better than delivering milk. Any kid could do that. But yeah, hopefully I'll see enough customers to keep it viable. Guess we'll see how it goes, between them and other imPorts.

video

[biotically]

They still deliver milk?

[ He hasn't been paying attention to milk deliveries. ]

Huh.

But if you need help, ah, I'm sure there's plenty of things I can ask you for. Don't worry about that.

video

[braided_icarus]

Apparently. But not me anymore. They can find some other delivery boy for it.

[Because lol milk. No. Ed hates it and wanted out of that job asap since he arrived a good couple of months ago at least.]

Sounds good to me. Appreciate the business.

video

[biotically]

Hey, I can't not, right? I mean, you've really done me a solid, but ah, if there's anything I can do for you...

Let me know, alright? I've met a lot of people from your world who told me you're a pretty quick kid, but we can all use an assist sometime.

[taselikeabee]

If you need help with setting things up, I could always swing by.

[ just an offer. ]

video;

[braided_icarus]

Yeah? I'll let you know. Thanks for the offer. Appreciate it. Reckon it shouldn't take too much work with alchemy at least.

video;

[taselikeabee]

Oh probably not. You've just got a great family here and I just want to offer a hand is all. I'd say you can never have too much help, but... Some times there is too much help.

video;

[braided_icarus]

Family....huh. Yeah. I know what you mean. And I'll keep you in mind if I do need a hand. Will need to be mindful of too much help crowding the place if a lot of you offer to help out setting it up.

video;

[taselikeabee]

Oh I bet people are already coming out in droves, Edward.

"Provided we have the materials?" What sort of repair business are you running?

[ It's just in reading this that the wording doesn't make a great deal of sense. also totally free to ignore this is what happens when i have no free time until midweek ]

[braided_icarus]

An alchemy repair shop. I can make or repair pretty much anything with my alchemy. Same with my younger brother. Figured this way we can help a lot more than just me delivering milk for a job around here.

[lyingheart]

Would you mind explaining what alchemy is for you? I've heard the term before, but it wasn't for anything as solid as what you're talking about.

... Milk delivery is likely important for some.

permatext

[braided_icarus]

Alchemy is a science. I analyse the material I'm working with, then break it down before reconstructing it to something else. I can fix anything provided I know what I'm working with and all the pieces are counted for. I can do a demonstration for you sometime if you wanted to come over to the shop.

They can find some other errand boy for the milk delivery. I can help a lot more this way.
