Chapter 2
There was an uncomfortable silence. Edward felt denial run through him. He couldn't be dead! Al was still in that suit of armor! No, he couldn't have been killed, not by someone like Envy. Ed clutched his chest, it was impossible.
"Jessi, you need to learn to more gentle! He is freaking out now!" The boy who's name Ed still didn't know muttered.
"Jazz, stay out of it! I'm trying to recruit here!" Jessi screamed angrily.
"YOU TWO SHOULD JUST SHUT UP!" Edward screamed holding his now throbbing head.
The two were silent again, watching Ed intently.
Ed couldn't stand it anymore. He took off running without a word. He pushed passed the boy, Jazz, and headed down the stairs.
Jazz shook his head. "You could have handled that way better Jessi. What if he runs into the student council president? He could disappear before we have a chance to talk to him again!"
Jessi smiled, "No he won't disappear, that guy has some real issues going on. I can fell his pain. He won't be disappearing for a while."
Jessi the took off her sunglasses, and her icy gaze seemed to petrify Jazz.
"Come on," She murmured "We should take a walk."

Ed felt the panic absolutely overcome him. He couldn't be here, death wasn't an option. He collapsed on the floor, and hit his fist against the wall. This had to be a trick, some sort of game. He was going to find someone in charge. Then he would beat them until they gave him answers, yes that was an excellent plan!
He puzzled for a moment before deciding who he would target. This was a school right? So he would go for the principal! He would need to find the principal's office though…
Beautiful*Disaster
When Ed finally found principal's office, he sighed in relief. He was exhausted from running around this dumb school. He had ran into other students and they had all acted as if he belonged at this school! How stupid! Ed reached for the doorknob but hesitated for a moment, what was this foreboding feeling?
"What the hell? It's a stupid door! It's not like it is going to kill me or anything!" Ed laughed to himself and reached out to twist the doorknob.
Before Ed could form another thought, a huge hammer came out of the ceiling and knocked Ed out of a nearby window. Ed flew At least fifteen feet forward and three floors down to the ground.
Ed was in a lot of pain, he felt as if every bone in his body were broken. Then he heard that all to familiar giggle.
"Told you he would try to get into the office!" Jessi's voice rang out.
"I didn't argue with you…" Jazz muttered in response.
"Hey Edward," Jessi laughed "Did ya have a nice fall?"
Ed growled, but surprisingly the pain he was felling was fading.
My body is healing, he realized, what about my automail ? It has to be broken.
That's when he realized, his automail was gone. He had his limbs back. Ed's eyes filled with tears despite the fact he didn't want to cry in front of these strange idiots.
"Edward?" Jessi asked cautiously.
"I'm really dead aren't I?" Ed asked sadly.
"Yes, as you can see we can't die because we are already dead. We sure can feel pain though," Jessi answered.
Ed was silent his eyes filled with pain.
"If this is the afterlife…." Ed started but e was immediately interrupted by Jazz's voice.
"We should take this inside headquarters."
Jessi nodded, "Edward come with us we will answer all of your questions but not here."
Ed shrugged, figuring he could trust the purple haired girl.

Inside the HQ (which was apparently inside the principal's office go figure) Ed sipped a can of coffee and stared at the pair across from him. Jazz kept fidgeting, and Jessi was avoiding his eyes.
"I want answers, now." Ed stated outright.
"Okay, what do you want to know?" Jessi sighed.
"I'm dead?"
"Yes we have settled that."
"I can't die here?"
"Your already dead."
"What about aging?"
"You don't do that either, which means you'll never get any taller…"
"WHO THE HELL YOU CALLING SO SHORT ALL THE DEAD PEOPLE MAKE HIM SEEM LIKE A HOBBIT?"
"I never said that (sweat drop)."
"So this is the afterlife?"
Jessi flinched, "Sorta."
"Sorta? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?" Ed growled.
"This place is basically a purgatory, you know where you let go of any lingering attachments so you can move on, or reincarnate, or what ever happens after that…" Jessi explained.
"So in other words this school is filled with teens with so much baggage they can't rest in piece?" Ed asked.
"Basically," Jessi replied "Although a lot of the students aren't human, they are NPC's."
"Huh?" Ed said confused.
"Non-player characters," Jazz said for the first time in a while "They are being that have been here a really long time, they aren't like us."
"So wait if this is purgatory, there must be a way to move on right?" Ed asked lazily.
"You will disappear from this word if you act like a model student or if you fulfill your dreams," Jessi said sadly.
"So why haven't you two moved on?" Ed asked seriously.
"Because we don't want to," They both said at once.
"What if we reincarnated, and turned into something unsavory?" Jazz said shivering.
"God was unfair to us why should we join him!" Jessi said stubbornly.
"So he exists? God does I mean?" Ed said biting his lip.
"We really don't know, but I believe he does." Jessi murmured.
There was an uncomfortable silence. The three teens looked in different directions. Jazz went to say something, but was viciously hit in the head by a paper fan.
Standing behind Jazz was a very angry looking red-headed boy, over the boys arm was a rather embarrassed/guilty dark-headed girl holding a broken scythe.
"Sorry guys, I could only hold him off for so long," The dark headed girl apologized.
"That's okay! I think we succeeded anyway! You sacrifice was worth it Linsey!" Jessi said giving the girl a thumbs up.
"I TOLD YOU NOT TO TALK TO THE NEW STUDNTS BEFORE I TALK TO THEM JESSICA HARM!" The red head yelled angrily "AND HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET INTO THIS OFFICE?"
Jessi smiled sweetly, "Easily Sempi, you would be surprised how much I know!"
The boy groaned and pinched his nose, dropping Linsey in the process.
"Can't be helped now, Mr. Elric will you please come with me?"
Ed hesitated, looking toward Jessi who nodded and mouthed, be careful.
"Who are you?" Ed asked the red head cautiously.
"I'm the student council president, Yuzuru Otonashi (1)," The boy replied.
Otonashi, huh? Ed thought The others seem wary of him, I best be careful.
