[As the video starts, there's a blonde woman making funny faces, apparently entertained by her reflection in the communicator. Also, apparently, she's upside down. Or gravity has just decided not to apply. Whatever. (no, actually, she's laying upside down on her bed.) When she realizes it's recording, she laughs]

Oh. Oh! It's started.

[holds the communicator in one hand and waves briefly with the other]

So, I have some questions. Is it always so sticky? What about boring? Because so far it seems kind of boring. And where can a girl get some Lucky Charms around here?

[ She looks both confused and suspicious. ]

You're new?

Re: video;

[forthehoard]

No, I just act like I don't know anything for fun.

Yes, I'm new.

[her tone is not sharp; far from it. she's in an apparently jovial mood and doesn't mind sharing it, but she also thinks it was kind of a dumb question. sry sarah]

[coppelganger]

[ It's cool. She thinks Parker's questions are equally ridiculous. ]

And you want cereal.

[forthehoard]

Well, yeah, don't you?

[ whatever this is perfectly normal ]

Re: video;

[forthehoard]

[forthehoard]

Later?

[hot4engines]

Just to be sure, ya mean the cereal, right?

Re: [video]

[forthehoard]

What else would I mean?

[hot4engines]

Just checkin'- you might have meant a horseshoe or something like that. Or something entirely different that means "lucky charms" on one version of Earth. Anyway, what town're you in?

[forthehoard]

[ shrugs ]

[Winry is rightside up for her video. But wearing funny goggles, because, work.]

Florida - Heropa - is stickier, but it has the prettiest ocean.

[A pause while Winry glances at something off-screen.]

I work too much to be bored!

[And says, "No, that's mine!" before turning back to the screen.]

What are lucky charms?

Re: video;

[forthehoard]

[Parker is feeling pouty]

It's not the prettiest ocean.

They're sugar and marshmallow cereal. What are you working on?

video;

[hands4healing]

It isn't? Where's the prettiest?

[Considering Winry had never seen an ocean prior to arriving in Florida.]

Oh. I guess the store might have them? I usually get oatmeal.

[a pause.]

Right now, a miniature camera.

Did you know you can buy bags of only the Lucky Charms marshmellows?

Re: video

[forthehoard]

[DRAMATIC GASP]

I need them. Immediately.

[fastballspeciaaaaal]

Right!? But you have to buy them online! And you need a credit card! And the bank says I'm too young to have credit card.
