[The last thing Winry could recall was that feeling of blacking out. It had been an awful feeling and she couldn't quite put her finger into describing the feeling in her own mind. She just knew that perhaps...She felt like she had been dying. She could recall her last moments clearly. Her last thoughts and the last thing she said.

So when she found herself suddenly waking up, something she really hadn't been expecting she was admittedly a combination of worried, scared and just plain confused. As she climbed out of the pod quickly, she looked around, grabbing the items that had managed to fall to the ground, hitting the water.

As she nervously left the Bay and soon spotted the hologram, which was quite interesting, to say the least. After listening to it, she started to fidgit with the device and eventually turned it on.]

Hello, hello. Is this on? [She checked briefly for a moment, before nodding.]

Looks like it's on. This is much different than a normal telephone. [She waved slightly.]

Hello, my name is Winry Rockbell and I guess I would be what you call new around here. [Which was a very strange thing to say, but she had a reason for turning the device on.]

I need to ask for directions to the Commons and also possibly for the welcome center. Unless there are maps in which case, please forget I asked.

[She smiled for a moment before it faded briefly. She was thinking about how the others might be doing at home. She figured with what was happening to her it hadn't been going well...But she wanted to have hope too as she turned the device off. Once the device was put away she was already going around and exploring.]

[The face that appears doesn't look overly friendly with its skull-like alien visage but the words are at least helpful.]

You should not be far away from them.

[And he does give brief directions to the Commons.]

[brbgettingwrench]

[Winry couldn't help but stare for a moment. It was not something she was overly expecting to say the least, but hey at least they are being helpful, which was better than not being helpful at all.

Even if it was very basic. But it was something. So she smiles happily for a moment.]

That's good to know, then it shouldn't take me long to find it and settle a bit though... How does everyone really settle if they know something if going on back home?

[generalgrievous]

It is said that when you return, no matter how long you have been here, everything will be exactly as you left it.

[Overall, the smart phone was pretty normal for her, aside from a few differences, but she could see how some point would think that. Not everyone came from the same technological time that she did, after all.]

Hello, Winry. My name is Angela Ziegler. [It was only proper to introduce yourself back.] If you'd like, I'm going to be going on break for lunch soon. I could show you the way.

[Nevermind the fact that she looks pretty tired; More than likely from all of the incidents of the last event. At the very least, it doesn't seem like she's paying it much mind as she gives the girl a gentle smile.]

[brbgettingwrench]

[Winry was one who knew about looking tired when she had to pull all-nighters. She knew she could do it for days at a time. So she understood at least that she must be working really hard in whatever it is that she did.]

I would like that. I think it would be helpful.

Video;

[heroes_never_die]

Sure. Are you at the Bay yet? If so, I can head there now.

[alihacka]

What exactly is normal for a phone for you?

[She's currently in her room, computer nearby. She's been pretty quiet since the event was done, but not staying locked in her room this time.]

Hey, Winry. I'm Futaba Sakura. There might be pamphlets near The Bay where you first woke up in.

Video;

[brbgettingwrench]

One you put to your ear and don't carry around with you.

[Old fashioned basically.]

So having something like this is certainly a new and interesting experience for me.

[She looked on over, ah so there was. She walked on over and moved to pick it up.]

Thank you for telling me... Futaba Sakura. Is there a preference to what I call you.

Video;

[alihacka]

Ah, so an older style. [A pause.] Smartphones are the norm in my world now. They're a lot more convenient. I'm sure you'll like it once you get used to it.

Futaba is fine. [She's sure honorifics don't exist here in Genessia anyways.] I think Weiss also explains a bit with the hologram, but I can try to answer any questions you may have.

[Normally, she'd offer to just meet in person, but with her anxiety and friend's leaving, she's.... not really interested in leaving at the moment.]

[his_queen]

Winry...!

[Riza shouldn't be so shocked to see more people from her world, but Winry of all people? This world doesn't pick and choose. It's completely random.]

Are you okay? Are you hurt in any way?

[And considering different timeframes everyone was being taken from, she didn't want to risk anything. At least the younger girl didn't seem to have any visible pain or wounds like Mustang had.]

Video

[brbgettingwrench]

[Winry was admittedly a little surprised at seeing someone she knew, but yet... She couldn't help but be a tiny bit happy as it meant she wasn't exactly alone in all of this.]

I'm fine. I wasn't hurt before I found myself here.

[She was pretty sure of that much anyway.]

I'm... glad to see you here.

[koishi_komeiji]

It would be a moment before Koishi was noticed. Drifting along behind Winry, watching her. It always took awhile to be noticed. Especially with newcomers so focused on their phones.

This one seemed nice enough though. And so she reached out, pinching Winry's sleeve and tugging the fabric gently.

"Hello? Miss? Can you hear me? Can you see me? Hello?" It might take a moment to overcome the little youkai's ability to go unnoticed.

[brbgettingwrench]

Winry had gone to put her phone away, having spoken to at least a few people before glancing down slightly. She had felt a tug on her sleeve and wondered who had been doing that. It was a moment before it clicked together.

"I can see you, hello? Sorry if I didn't notice before."

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi laughed, floating up higher. She was a tiny thing. Probably not much taller than 4 feet with minty green hair and eyes that glowed. Literally glowed.

"It's okay. Most people don't notice me."

The sphere floating in front of her chest bobbed softly as the connecting cord over her left shoulder twisted into a heart shape.

"Are you new? You seem new. Because you look confused and worried and are covered in misty rings and swirls that spiral up into knots. That's not good, miss. You should relax."

[brbgettingwrench]

[She was a little less surprised to see the Colonel. She had spoken to Rize just before, so she kind of expected in some way for him to be close by or at least around. Shaking her head slightly, best make sure to say that everything was okay in that area.]

I am not physically hurt at all. You are the second one to ask that.

[Video]

[rando_dork]

Sup, Winry?

You should be pretty close to the commons and welcome center. If you need any help finding them or anything else, just let me know.

I've got the day off so I could give you a bit of a tour.

[Video]

[brbgettingwrench]

That's good to know, might be able to get things done sooner rather than later.

I would like a tour. I had someone show me a little bit, but from what I slowly figuring out there are more than just Genessia.

[chocobosnap]

There are maps, but I can help you if you need it.

I'm Prompto Argentum. Nice to meet you.

[brbgettingwrench]

Someone mentioned the map before.

But it's nice to meet you.

[ Video ]

[bright_imperius]

[ Have a cheerful smile ]

Hello, miss Winry Rockbell! My name is Takumi Terasu. It's nice meeting you.

I got pretty lost when I first arrived here, too - did you still need a hand finding your way back to the Commons?

[ Video ]

[brbgettingwrench]

It's nice to meet you as well.

I've had a couple people help, so currently, I think I am fine but thank you very much for offering. That was nice of you.

[So far of the 2 that have come from Amestris, they've both been from after his death. Hawkeye and Mustang can take the scare of his sudden return, but Winry? She's perfectly strong, but he's fond of her and doesn't want to scare her too badly if she's in the same boat. So he sends her a text first, which clearly displays who it's from.]

Don't freak out, okay?

[If she's from before his death, he can just play it off as "don't freak out that you're here everything is fine." But if she's from after, well, maybe just popping up on people's video feeds without warning isn't the best idea.]

[brbgettingwrench]

[So far she had noted who she knew who was already here. She had sort of expected that to be it. So after she had eaten and been shown around she was at the commons. Sitting on the bed she finally looked at her phone and paused. 'Please don't freak out, okay?' She was sure she read that right. However, when she checked who it was from she froze.

She wasn't sure what to send back, someone who she knew back home... Who was no longer there. She found herself wiping away tears on the revelation. It was at least five minutes before she finally sent something back.]

I admit, freaking out was probably the last thing I would have done.

[Crying had been the first thing.]
