"My acquaintance is the only one I know of that has what he has. Back where I come from, at least," she answers. "If there are others, I haven't encountered them. Then again, he's made a bit of a name for himself, as a soldier."

She watches as he clenches and unclenches his hand, the movement eerily familiar to her. "I take it yours is the latter sort?"

Ed nods and looks back up at her. "Yeah. It's what I needed for the shit I got up to back home and given the occasional need to defend myself during events here, it's been helpful here too."

"The weight does mean that I can't swim anymore though. It kind of sucks," he adds in a thoughtful tone.

She gives him a sympathetic glance, wrinkling her nose in thought. "Yes, I imagine it does. I suppose that would make floating rather difficult, wouldn't it? Unless you could find some way to support it. Or find a lighter metal."

Not that she's an expert. But she does know... some things. Possibly more than she's comfortable with. At least with the technology where she's from.

"Like titanium? It was just starting to be a thing back home, so I don't think anyone's started making automail with it yet. Too expensive for anyone that isn't some rich guy that commissioned it. And the chances of one of them losing a limb and needing something heavy-duty is pretty close to nil."

"There's a metal back where I'm from - very rare," she mused thoughtfully. "There's some of it here, though. I have a friend here with a shield made out of it. Not sure what the technical term of it is, since I'm sure it has one, but I heard it referred to as vibranium once. I believe it's similar to adamantium. Or maybe that's part of the alloy as well, it was made before my time, I'm afraid. It's light, though. And supposedly indestructible. I haven't seen the thing take a ding yet."
seekinghome: (Calm)

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-09 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
"I've heard of adamantium through some book or other in the library. Pulled a piece out of my closet one weekend when everybody was obsessed with experiments to play with, actually. It has a fascinating chemical structure. I still have a small chunk of it in my room to mess with sometimes."

He looks thoughtful. "I have something else to look up in the library, it seems. Now that I'm recovered from being completely done with research because of that stupid event."

She chuckles wryly at that, shaking her head. "Yeah they do seem to... complicate matters around here on occasion, don't they? And good luck. I wish I could offer more, but short of helping you float, that's entirely out of my area of expertise," she adds teasingly. "If you want to see the shield and what it's made of, though, just look for Steve Rogers on the network. He's not hard to find."

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-10 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
He recognizes that name. "I know who you're talking about. We've talked once or twice."

He takes a sip of his beer. "I was also tired of hamburgers that weekend, but that's because that's what Cas was giving me on his fly-bys to make sure I ate."

Castiel's literal fly-bys.
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Persuasive)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-10 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Most people do," she adds wryly, not at all surprised that Steve's making himself known here. He's rather hard to miss.

"Cas? The angel?" she asks, because she's slowly meeting people here too, or at least learning about the people trapped here with them.
seekinghome: (Calm)

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-10 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
He nods. "Yep. He doesn't remember the first time we met, as he's left and come back since then, but we've seen more of each other after his return. And me needing to tell him who I was all over again."

"Of course, given that weekend with multiple Dean Winchesters running around, that first Castiel might have been a different one entirely," he muses.

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-10 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Wait, this place can do multiples as well?" That revelation has her looking a little startled, because it's the first time she's heard mention of that. "Of the same person?"
seekinghome: (Calm)

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-10 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
Ed bobs his head; not quite yes, not quite no. "That weekend it did. We got back the previous Dean, and he actually remembered being here before."

His gaze goes a little distant as he remembers Dean inadvertently announcing Ellen and Jo's deaths. "We only talked for a couple of minutes, since we weren't actually friends. I just filled him in on a couple of things and pointed him in the general direction of his brother."

She hasn't met Dean yet, so that doesn't mean a whole lot to her just yet, but she absorbs the information as note of something out of the ordinary all the same. "Was it an event? Or just a strange coincidence?"

"Red Queen had a lizard build stuff all over that did things like deage people, swap what set of parts they had, whatever. Then threw a party over a weekend to apologize for the mess and brought in guests from all over. Also took down the mirrors so our Mirrors could cross without swapping us over."

Ed shifts in his seat a bit. "Saw a couple of people from home that got brought here for it."
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Puzzled)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-12 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
"That sounds..." Like a mess, to be honest. "...chaotic. But the mirrors were here on this side? With all the rest of you?"

The mirror side was something she was still trying to dig into as much information she could, since there didn't seem like a lot of reliable sources to get confirmed information on them.
seekinghome: (Calm)

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ed nods. "Yeah. It was one of the special cases I mentioned where we could all be on the same side."

Now he winces a bit. "A friend of home actually ran into mine before I even saw her. Thankfully, he didn't actually do anything to her. Although I did have to tell her not to go looking for him again when she decided she wanted to hit him with a wrench for something he did I made the mistake of mentioning."

"Your double sounds like a real charmer," she drawls in wry amusement, shaking her head.
seekinghome: (Annoyed)

[personal profile] seekinghome 2014-07-12 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Ed frowns. "He made my little brother cry. And triggered a traumatic memory while he was at it. So if he pisses you off, feel free to beat the crap out of him. Just make sure he isn't me first. His own automail is swapped around from mine."
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Pondering)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-12 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
She tilts her head and makes note of that for a moment. "The other arm, you mean?" she asks, committing that to memory. "I'll remember that."

"Yeah. And," he leans down and knocks where the automail on his leg starts. "Opposite side down here as well. I, uh, really did a number on myself as a kid."
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Surprised)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-12 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
She arches an eyebrow at that, looking a little surprised. "You really must have. It happened when you were a child?"

He gives her a cagey grin. "Eleven-year-olds aren't the best decision-makers."
widows_kiss: serious, curious (Secretive)

[personal profile] widows_kiss 2014-07-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
She gives a quiet huff at that. "I suppose it depends on the eleven year old." Not that she'd had the freedom to make her own decisions. She arches an eyebrow at him. "Dare I ask what happened?"

"The arm went towards saving my brother's ass, the leg went to the same thing that caused me to need to save said little brother." Yeah, not going into specifics since those involve trying to bring back his mother from the dead.

"I've heard you speak of your brother, so I'm assuming it worked?" She asks it with careful sympathy - not pity. That's a sentiment that's rarely appreciated and often not required.
