Mm... [He nods thoughtfully and stands back up straight.] Yes, humans from my time have never come up with something so advanced. Interesting, how different our worlds can really be.

::Ed lowers his arm, figuring it was probably safe to do so.::

Well, it probably helps that alchemy actually works on my world, because the converters in my ports were made using it. It's also why we've got color photos sooner than people on Earth do. On the flip side, we don't have planes yet even though at the point I'm from, Earth has some early ones.

[heavensmostadorable]

I see.

[That just makes it all the more fascinating how different some of the worlds people here come from are.]

Alchemy is an important part of your world, I take it.

For God's sake, go to bed.

Yeah. Obviously, not everyone uses it since not everyone has the interest or aptitude, but there's plenty of alchemists.

::He grimaces a little, thinking about his country.::

Of course, the military found a way to weaponize it. Kinda goes against the whole 'Be thou for the people' thing. At least the State Alchemist program is over with, according to my brother. It got dismantled after I, uh, disappeared.

[heavensmostadorable]

[Well, that's certainly not the answer he expected.]

It sounds to me as though they were using you alchemists as weapons yourselves. Is that correct?

[seekinghome]

Yeah. There was a war when I was a kid. Went on for years. Up until State Alchemists were sent in.

::He grimaces.::

It was over pretty fast after that. The people on the other side had religious objections against using alchemy, so they didn't stand a chance.
