WHO: Hiro + anyone with a comm!
WHERE: Your comm, courtesy of data-jumping and the server misfire event
WHEN: October 3rd
WHAT: Hiro tries to jump back into his own comm and misses. Badly. Repeatedly. Shenanigans ensue.
WARNINGS: Probably none!

[ The good thing about being able to data-jump is that it makes the commute into De Chima ridiculously easy. Set up two beacons - one in his comm, the other at his work terminal - and just follow that path back and forth. He doesn't even have to think and he's there.

Unfortunately, those beacons are just as dependent on the server update as the rest of the network ... and when the misfires start happening, Hiro's beacons get mixed up too. What should be a big bright arrow pointing to his comm is just complete garbage ... meaning he's going to end up in a whole lot of comms that he shouldn't be before he finally makes his way home.

For those getting the misfire, there's a only a quick ping, like receiving a message, before a very confused teenager's face appears on the viewscreen. He does, at least, keep from going through any data, but that means he has to look out at the surroundings to try and figure out where he is. Which means staring up at whoever's comm he's in now. ]

Seriously? Not again.

[Maybe for you, Hiro, but her boyfriend's now back in Amestris. And the rest of her family is there, too.]

I see.

[She does.]

Finish your juice.

...

[ He does finish it in a few long gulps. ]

Does Ed live here with you?

[Winry doesn't stiffen but for a second, she pauses. Then she smiles.]

We moved here together! But he went back to Amestris.

Would you like more juice?

[ Hiro does stiffen in sympathetic horror. ]

He's gone?

Mm. Almost a month now.

[She sounds okay. She looks okay. She mostly is. Except when she isn't.]

I have a new roommate. I'm not here alone.

... That's even worse though. Like they're trying to replace him.

I don't think Ed would mind. Miss Riza's a good friend! That's her dog, Boba.

Riza? Wait, she's from your world, right?

Mm.

[There are less and less people from Amestris in this world, though. Major Armstrong, then Alphonse, then Mr. Kimblee - not that Winry actually missed him - and now Ed.]

Are you feeling any better?

... Yeah. Still tired but ...

[ His blood sugar is much improved, for starters. ]

C'mon, let's get you to the couch. It's more comfortable than the floor.

[Winry offers Hiro her hand to help him up.]

I don't have any pie but I could make you a sandwich and get you some more juice if you want.

[ He accepts it and stands. ]

Both of those sound pretty good. Thanks.

[Winry makes sure Hiro is seated on the couch before leaving him to fix him a sandwich. It doesn't take long before she returns with a tray carrying sandwich that would make Dagwood proud, vegetables for dressing, mayo, mustand, and ketchup, a handful of chips, and a refill of his juice. Boba followed at her heels, his nose stuck in the air, sniffing at the delicious scents of turkey sandwiches. Zoey sat on the floor near Hiro, nudging him with her nose.]

Here you are.

[Winry sets the tray on the coffee table.]

I hope you like turkey. It's what I had.

[ Dang that is awesome. He wasn't expecting much, but that? Is seriously impressive. He digs in gratefully. ]

As long as it's not peanuts, I'm good.

No peanuts.

[Winry assures him as she sits down in one of the chairs. She thinks Hiro hasn't eaten in days the way he's scarfing his sandwich.]

So, how did you get lost in my comm?

[ He's just always hungry. Teenaged boy and all. ]

Network's acting up. I aimed for my computer at home and missed.

[Don't think she doesn't know it, Hiro. That's why you get a sandwich and chips.]

Really? I guess I wasn't paying attention.

[She's been a little withdrawn since Ed went home.]
