Is this going to put you out in any way? Because you know he doesn't feel guilty, right?

[This vanished in my inbox....sorry.]

[hands4healing]

I kind of figured, but that doesn't matter to me. He's my friend.

[selfequipped]

I just wanted to make sure he didn't ... [She trails off. Kate really doesn't know what to do about Dorian.]

Send the money to [E-Mail account attached to this world's version of Paypal.]

And I'll make sure he pays you back.

[hands4healing]

He's charming, if that's what you mean. But...

[...]

He's not my type.

...and it'd be great if he paid me back.

Thank you, Miss Bishop.

[selfequipped]

He will. I'm keeping a spreadsheet.

And please, call me Kate.

[hands4healing]

Thank you, Kate! I'm Winry Rockbell. It's, well not exactly a pleasure to meet you under these circumstances, but. Nice to meet you!

[selfequipped]

Well, we can find something better to find pleasure in, rather than be disappointed in our friend for robbing a bank.

Maybe when he pays you back!

[hands4healing]

We can take the money and get a...[What had Henry called it?]..a peetza?

[selfequipped]

A pizza.

You've never had a pizza?

[hands4healing]

No, but Henry said I should try one.

[selfequipped]

Give me your address, and I'll send one over right now. It won't be good because Florida, but I consider this a service for society. When he pays you back, we'll see what I can find that's better in way of celebration. Even if it means pulling in a friend to hook us up with a quick New York trip.

[hands4healing]

[Seriously? What is it about pizza?]

Okay, it's [provides address].

Thank you!

[selfequipped]

[Give her a second to do some keyboard clicking in the background.]

All right, it should be there in about forty-five minutes!

[hands4healing]

[Huh?]

How?

[selfequipped]

I'm tempted to say magic, but I ordered it online.

[hands4healing]

[Online...?]

I don't know what that means...

[selfequipped]

... Hmm, it seems like you might want a crash course of some kind in the basics of this world.

[hands4healing]

I understand the mechanics of this world, mostly. But the rest of it...
[A shrug.]

[selfequipped]

No, it's okay. A lot of us would be in the same position if ... this wasn't an utterly similar world, except for the flying cars.

[hands4healing]

Those I like!

[selfequipped]

Are they part of what you understand?

[hands4healing]

Not that they fly. But we do have automobiles back home.

[selfequipped]

But no internet?

[hands4healing]

No. I was born in 1889, in my world. From our research, it seems to be about the same technology as your world, but...we had automobiles running on steam rather than gasoline.

And automail, that's different from this world, and a lot of others, I guess.

[selfequipped]

That clarifies some things.

[A lot of things, actually. Except for one:]

What is automail?
