[ Waking up in a strange house that was not her own was not how Winry wanted to start her day. She immediately rolled out of the bed and scrambled about in confusion with a very realistic list of priorities, including "Whose pajamas are these?!" and "Wh-who changed my clothes?!". And all ending with a pajama-clad girl picking up the nearest phone and just... dialing. She really isn't sure to call. ]

[ phone ]
U-um... Hey! Hey there, wh-whoever you are, uh... I think I've been kidnapped! I'm in a strange room with someone else's clothes on a-and this is just really not good.

 [ hesitation. Winry replays everything she just heard in her head and realizes how stupid she sounds when in a panic. ] S-sorry, you know what? Wrong number. [ And now she's preparing to call someone else, hoping to form sentences better next time and sound more believable. ] What do I do, what do I do... Why would anyone kidnap me? Aaah, and who changed my clothes for me? Ew ew ew, I can't believe this is happeing!

Winry. Winry Rockbell. Nice to meet you, Shoma... um...

Have you been here long?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

No, just a few days... I'm still adjusting to everything. It's fairly simple here, though... I think you'll do fine, Rockbell-san.

What is there to adjust to? I'm just going to sit around all day if I want, right?

A-Ah... Well, if that's what you want to do, yeah. I just mean... I'm still getting used to being stuck here. [it's a subtle way of saying 'wah i miss my sister,' but.]

Apparently, the people who are in charge of this place tend to do things to the people staying here... But I'm not too sure how bad it is.

Do things to people...? What do mean? Are they bad things?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

They're supposed to be bad... B-But you shouldn't get worked up over it or anything! Nothing's happened since I arrived, so maybe it's all over.

I, I guess... geez, I sure hope so. I'm not sure what I could do if something started happening.

So we've been here just a few days? I guess other people have been here longer?

[fabumax.livejournal.com]

I'm sure everyone here would be willing to help each other out... [wishful thinking was always good.]

Apparently, some people have been stuck here for years, and others are about as new as you and I.
