"I'm fine, it's nothing really." Ana mumbled, dropping her hand away from her wound. "Well, last night I heard two strangers talking about Cornello, saying something about his usefulness coming to an end." Ana explained. "It was very odd, but they heard me coming, and a strange weapon grazed my arm, I didn't even see it when it hit me. One was a very tall, lovely dark, curly haired woman, and the other was a short round man who wouldn't stop sucking his thumb. Have you seen them before?"
She nodded at Edwards words, "and we were able to pull from Cornello's mouth that he does in fact know about alchemy. He just wants to continue lying to the townspeople about where these 'miracles' come from. We have a feeling that he's using some kind of a philosophers stone."

"Those damn bastards."Edward's fists clenched with fury. "They are all working togeather, but I don't know why. It seems like that Cornello's just a puppet in their play. Ana you can't just go running into dange like that, okay?"He glared at her sternly, but it was only because he cared and didn't want her hurt. "Kotaro, what is the theory? We could use all the information we can get."His face was grim with determination.

"The ring he wears. Its crimson, the color of the philosiphers stone. Even someone with no alchemic experience could be dangerous with that, even if its a fake." He said. "If we seperate the ring from him, then we might be able to see if its real." He sighed. "And those two Ana saw, if they think Cornello's almost a loss, then I bet we'll see them."

"You know, I can take care of myself Edward. I've been doing that for a very long time, I think I can manage. Besides, it was nighttime, and Kotaro was asleep. I can't exactly bring a body guard with me everywhere I go." Ana sighed, feeling that she had reassured Ed of her own strength, then turned to Kotaro. "I'm not even sure how to go about the plan, he's got guards and loyal citizens at every turn. Maybe if we were to infiltrate his quarters when he's busy? We might be able to dig up some information there."

Edward was slightly taken aback by Ana's retort and fought the urge to snap at her. Where was Alphonse when you needed him? His attention switched to Kotaro in a heart beat though. "That's it. I knew it. The ring is the Philospher's stone. The exact thing my brother and I need to get our bodies back. If I could just slip it off..."He was deep in thought now. It could be the answer he had been waiting for. The very thing he had dedicated the rest of his life to finding.

"Not a bad idea Ana, and Ed was just worried about you. " Kotaro said turning to Ed. "Getting your bodies back?" What could have happened? "Well, Ed, Ana, one of us should get inside. Sneak in maybe. If we're caught, it'll be a distraction." He said with a sigh.

"I know, I just... oh nevermind. So, who's going to sneak in? Maybe you two should sneak in while I hold his attention. I have known him for a while, maybe he'll listen to me. While he's distracted, you guys learn anything you can, and in twenty minutes, we all come back here." Ana explained, hoping that the idea would work. If anyone was discovered, they could all be killed on sight. "What do you two think?"

"Doesn't sound like a bad idea at all. I like it." Edward smiled at them and leaped off the bed grabbing his red alchemit jacket. "I'm so close to the truth I can almost taste it. Let's head over there."Edward opened the door and nearly flew down the stairs, his boots creaking loudly on the wooden floor boards.

Kotaro watched Ed practically fly down the stairs. "I'm going to get caught, I just know it." He said shaking his head. "Ana, be careful, if you got hurt I'd blame myself for it since its my plan." He started down the stairs. "Cornello, your times almost up."

"Hey, give me some credit, I helped make the plan! And I can handle it if I get caught! Wait up you two!" Ana shouted as she chased after the eager boys. 'Oy veh, why is everything always so sudden?' She thought as she ran after them, but eventually headed down a different path as she directly entered the temple. The boys were going to use the 'back door'.
Pounding on the wooden doors, Ana quickly thought up a lie, and pinched herself until tears were streaming down her face. The doors opened up, and Cornello came face to face with a sobbing Ana. "You've got to come quick! It's my kitten, it's dead! Please, please don't let it go away, it's the only family I have left! Please help me!" She sobbed, pulling Cornello by the sleeve, and ran him outside the temple, heading quickly to the inn. 'Heh, sucker.'

Edward swung the massive back door open and slipped inside, looking behind him to see if Kotaro had followed. They appeared to be in some type of huge basement? Boxes stood in corners and they were walking on a dusty paved floor. There was no torches or lights lit, but a thin stream of natural light appeared ahead and Edward quickly set off. He didn't mind Kotaro, in fact he rather liked him for his strength, but he did wish Alphnose was here running next to him in the this dark. "Up ahead. I think I see the stairs leading to the main floor. I hope Ana is alright." He added much more softly.

Kotaro followed Edward the entire length, all the way to the basement. It was dark except for the natural light that crept in. "I see the stairs too." He sighed. "I hope she's alright too, we'll have too trust she can handle herself." He said following quietly.

Ana continued to bawl, every now and then falling over, making Cornello help her up as they slowly made their way into the inn, and up the stairs. People from the streets and in watched, somewhat confused. Gum fell out of children's mouths, the customers dropped their food and straws, and even a baby stopped crying as Ana made her way slowly into her room. "Gone! The body's gone! Oh no, please god don't tell me the dog ran off with it's body!" She grabbed at Cornello's robes and sobbed again. "Please, you've got to help me find it! I love it so much, I've never had a pet before, please, please!"
Cornello could only sigh as Ana began to lead him out of the inn, down to the back of the inn where the dog often buried it's treasures. "Please, it's got to be around here somewhere! We're going to have to dig, so grab a shovel."
(Ooc: Ana doesn't actually have a cat, she's just giving him a wild goose chase.)

"We have got to hurry."Edward grunted as he ran up the twirling flight of steps. He stopped at the top, bent over and trying to catche his breath. "Which way now. I'm just going to trust my instincts and go this way." Edward streaked off not waiting for a reply down a hallway. "Weid we havent seen any guards..."He called to Kotaro.

"Don't rush it!" Kotaro said as ed ran off. "Shorties going to get himself hurt." He said running after him. "Hey, little guy slow down! If we rush in we'll get caught easily!" He shook his head.
Ooc: couldn't help myself. Lol
