((I suppose the closest timelines'll meet up first? FMA = 1930's-ish, yes? fyi: FF9 = 1800's. hope that's ok. just establishing dialouge. haha))
Kuja griped to himself about all the idiots brushing by him to stand in that ridiculous line. If the afterlife was just that, why were there so many people?
The clothing in the lines drastically changed the further he walked. How long had he been dead? Judging from the way they stared at him (as if they've never SEEN such beauty before, and they probably hadn't...), and from their clothes, decades if not a complete century had passed.
At least his feet didn't hurt anymore; the booming voice was right about the lack of fatigue. Thank the gods, his boots would've been killing him.
Eventually, he reached a point in the line where he saw a short boy in a red coat walking alongside the line in the opposite direction. Like himself. Since they're telling everyone reincarnation is backwards....
Not that it was really clear where backwards was, considering that many people were simply popping up through the randomly placed doors.
"I don't suppose you know how to get back to the living?" he inquired, walking up behind the boy.

Ed stopped walking and turned to face the man that had spoke. He looked around then back at the man. "Are you talking to me?" he asked and blinked. He must be. He wasn't looking at anyone else. "To tell you the truth, I have no idea where I am or how long I've been here for that matter," he said and frowned. "I was hoping I could find some answers somewhere. Besides, that line didn't seem to move at all."
Ed crossed his arms over his chest and gasped a little, realizing one thing. His arm was no longer automail. It was flesh again. And so was his leg. He began moving his limbs, as if they felt strange to him, though from Kuja's point of view, Ed's actions looked weird.

Kuja blinked. "Are you mad, boy?" he asked. Just his luck that he'd find the one crazy person out of all the others out here. "Stop jerking around like a lunatic. This is the land of the dead; if you're here, you're dead. Though you were right about the line. It moves once in a fair blue moon."
Other people walked on ahead. This boy was of no use to him. He huffed and walked on, pushing pass the odd kid.

Spike glanced off, curious, and spotted a couple of people chatting out of line. "Huh... hey, look, other people who got tired of waiting in line."
Mello glanced that way too. "You think they know how to get out of here?"
"One way to find out," Spike shrugged, getting to his feet and sauntering over. "Yo."

Kuja glanced up at the lanky man walking over. "Hm?" he asked. "Yo?" He had no idea what the word meant. Still, he may know more than the boy.
"Um, yes, well...do you know how to get 'back?'" he asked. "To the area for reincarnation, I mean to go there. But I'm afraid I have very little direction to my destination."

"Yo," Spike replied flatly, raising an eyebrow. "It means hello, or whatever. So, you guys headed off somewhere?"
Mello caught up to the group but didn't really bother to introduce himself or say anything, instead sufficing with a glare and crossed arms.

Kuja crinkled his face at Mello's. "What happened to you?" he asked rudely. He looked back at Spike and replied, "Yes. I'm trying to find the way 'back.' I have no idea what he's doing." He gestured to Edward.

Mello's eyes were wide as saucers, his right eye twitching. "Excuse me?" He asked, voice raising in pitch and volume just enough to get the point across that he was displeased.
"Cool," Spike shrugged, ignoring his acquaintance's annoyance. Some people were so insecure.

Ed stopped stretching out his right shoulder and blinked when Kuja walked away. "H-Hey wait!" he yelled and chased after the man. He noticed that he ran into two other people who also weren't standing in line. "Listen, I'm sorry about that. But I don't know anymore than you."

Spike smirked a lopsided grin. "Dude, you're short."
Mello was glaring more harshly than he had been before and didn't even seem to care that Edward had arrived.

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORTER THAN A BITE SIZED FLEA, YOU JERK!?" Ed yelled, getting up in Spike's face and a vein was sticking out of his forehead.
((I'm thinking about adding another FMA character ;D Not sure who yet though))

Spike laughed a little, shoving his hands in his pockets. "You got spunk, kid. I like you. What's your name?"

Ed calmed down a bit and blinked. "Edward. My name's Edward Elric," he said and tilted his head a bit at the man. "And who are you?"

Misa rocked back and forth on her heels and hummed an overly perky tune as she stared into nothing. She quickly poked her head out of the thick line as she heard someone yelling. All she saw was a small group of people of different heights, the shortest up in another's face ranting.
Standing to the side she noticed a familiar figure. Squinting her eyes to take a closer look she noticed blonde hair and a scarred face. "Mello?" she questioned aloud.

"Spike, Spike Spiegel," Spike replied. "I'm just your average cowboy... and you're a lot less... insane than the Edward I knew back in my life."
Mello felt a slight chill in his frame when he heard his name called. He turned his head slightly to see a spot of blonde a ways a way. Isn't that... the second Kira?
