Human Transmutation: Sac Con Mar. 2010

Won best skit at Sac Con, March 2010.


...of course, that's because we were the ONLY skit entry, but who cares? I'm damn proud of pulling the whole thing together the morning of the con. (Including the poster board Alphonse. Oh yeah, I drew that shit like... 30 minutes before we left.)

This was also the debut of my Briggs!Edward costume and leg automail. I plan to make the arm once my wonderflex comes in...




Here's the script, since it's hard to hear what Al is saying (my brother kept mumbling his lines). Also, please forgive our OOC-ness. My brother doesn't watch FMA, and I was too busy keeping track of lines to try to sound like a dude or pay attention to the particulars of his slang.



Human Transmutation

Ed: Hey, Al.
Al: Yes, brother?
Ed: I've got this theory on how we can get your body back...
Al: R-really!? You mean, we don't need the philosopher's stone? I mean, we've been working to try to get that for the entire season...
Ed: Well, I don't think we need it. I mean, our father was recently revealed to be a deux ex machina, which makes us half plot device ourselves, so with the both of us, we should be able to do it.
Al: Wait a sec- Dad's a horcrux?
Ed: Shhh! Don't give away spoilers!
Al: Aaack, sorry! Sorry...
Ed: Anyway, if we use part of your lifespan, we should be able to pull off human transmutation no sweat. And then we can get you to the gate so you can bring your body back through.
Al: How are you 100% sure this'll work?
Ed: Well, see... I kinda...did it already...
Al: What!?
Ed: Well, I was dying! I mean, I had this huge thing through my chest! I was bleeding everywhere! There was debris falling on me, and it was cold, and just...aaaargh.
Al: Man, I leave you alone for two days... Two days! That's forty-eight hours... And you're the older brother... Man, you think you'd be more responsible...
Ed: Hey! That doesn't matter. The point is, we might be able to get your body back.
Al: *sigh* But I don't want to die any earlier than I already am.
Ed: Well, what does it matter? I mean, you're old and those years suck anyway...
Al: Well, yeah... But what about my children, and my children's children?
Ed: If they're anything like us, they should be able to fend for themselves.
Al: Well... I ah... I just... I'm not sure.
Ed: Hey, Al...
Al: What?
Ed: I'll give you this cat if you do it...
Al: Kitty!
Ed: Ay, ay, ay- not until I transmute you.
Al: Ah, what! Wha- you jus- fine...
Ed: Get over there. Further...
*Ed sets cat down*
Ed: Stay... Good animal.
*Ed turns to Alphonse*
Ed: Alright, don't think of the cat, think of your human form. Human form... We don't want any furry incidents...
Al: *muttering* Right... Short hair... blonde hair... blue eyes...
Ed: Okay, ready?
Al: Sure.
Ed: Ready?
Al: Okay, go!
Ed: Alright, here goes nothin'!
*Al changes back and beelines for the cat*
Al: Caaaaaat!
*Al and Ed stare at each other*
Al: Wait- wait a sec...
Ed: Wait a minute...
Together: Shoes... black pants... ribbed shirt... belt... jacket...and...gloves?
*both point accusingly at each other*
Ed: Why are you wearing my clothes!?
Al: Why am I wearing your clothes!?

such bad acting

@Syatek2020

We made it up pretty much on the spot, and my brother doesn't even watch FMA, so it was kind of inevitable.

Bravo! Bravo! An amazing depiction reminds me of the pre-dynastic Ko period. Here her reflection of power directed toward the disembodied Ki is one we can all watch over and over. Good film.

Lol. Thanks, Lori. I'm glad you liked it, even though I'm sure it's horribly confusing without knowing the series we were acting out. :)

[WaterKayleeKatara]

Wow, Al is so life like

[WinryElric17]

Human Al cosplay awesome XD and Ed woohoot! Loved it ^.^

[AruFullmetal]
