"You've reached Winry Rockbell! I'm sorry I'm not here to take your call.

...If this is Ling Yao, no, I won't marry you.

...If this is Edward Elric, what did you do to my automail now?

Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!"

[OOC: Please tell me which game you're contacting Winry about! Thanks.]

Excellent. [Bela gives her a smile.] Do you enjoy the work you do here?

Mm. I work for Tony Stark's company. It's really great!

And what kind of company is it?

He runs an engineering tech studio. [Well, it's certainly bigger than any shop Winry's ever seen. Maybe God Studios back home, but she's never had the honor to visit.]

I work in the development and design department but I'm really doing what I did back home - build arms and legs for people who need them.

[Winry hesitates but it's more to catch her breath. This part really excites her.] I've been working on designing an eyeball for people who can't see!

[It would appear that Winry was doing something really worthwhile in this place. Good on her. Bela wasn't that kind of person.]

That sounds very exciting and a good project to work on. You've also got the skills for it so you might as well make the most of them, yeah?

I hope I'm doing a good job with it. I'd rather help people, encourage them to do better.

Nothing wrong with that. Other people could probably learn something from your example.

[Wide eyes.]

Oh, I'm nothing special!

No need to be modest.

[Winry takes a drink and considers that for a few seconds before answering Bella. She's quite serious when she does.]

I guess I don't feel I am. There are a lot of people back home who do what I do. I may have different ideas on how things should be designed or how they might work but I'm building on the designs of generations who came before me.

So you're carrying on their work in a sense. I still think that's important, even if other people started the work. And if you have different ideas, it's a good thing. Maybe you will think of something that they haven't and invent it.

I am working on that! I've designed a few new things since I've been here.

Glad to hear it. Hope they work out for you, Winry.

Me, too.

[A bright smile.]

And I hope your business takes you amazing places, too!

That's sweet of you to say.

[She smiles in return.]

I hope it does. It would be nice to see where it would lead.

In this world, it seems amazing places or...ah, really strange ones.

Oh yeah, I can see either of those two happening.

So can I.

[All too well.]

Sounds like you've had experience with it before.

[Winry sighs, glancing around, as if to make sure no one was paying much attention. No one seemed to be.]

I've been through some things here. I guess I can't complain, others have been through worse but some of the...events that have happened in this world are a lot worse than back home.

You won't hear any disagreement from me on how awful the events have been here. Definitely worse than some of my experiences back home.

[Which Bela won't go into at the moment for her own personal reasons.]

Guess no one said that it was going to be an easy ride.
