-= honestly thought he had it on voice. That's what happens when you're on one arm, one leg, and about three hours of sleep. =-
Ah, sorry if I worried anyone out there, or if you were looking for me. -=he scratches the back of his head in one awkward motion, his forehead clearly bandaged. He looks odd with a missing automail arm.=-
And this is a new machine. I was ambushed by one of those things, and sort of dragged out into the Wastes. I hope everyone's doing okay. -=a flash of a tired smile. He looks at ease with that expression. Of course, he does, he doesn't know that he's being watched.=-

[Al breathes out.]
He's lost a lot. He could be good, but he doesn't want to put himself in a position to be lose more, so he destroys his own life before anything else can.
