40th Teddy Bear [Action/Video]
[Over a month ago, Elicia lost her mother. Months before that, she'd lost her father. It was a difficult step-by-step process, adjusting to the new life in her home. It was Edward and Winry, and a room that felt like blasphemy to touch. She'd go in there sometimes to sit on the bed and read or nap, as if compelled by some force she didn't quite understand. But things were getting easier, and smiles weren't so hard to muster; in fact, they came naturally again. With the help of some good friends—'family', by all means—she's been keeping up with her gardening, writing letters to a family who doesn't live here anymore, drawing for a gallery...
To be honest, she's overly excited about the idea of a gallery.
Let's see what's going on, today:

» ELICIA VISION INITIATED
(There's rubble all around her. As she breathes in, hot and tired, on her knee, a robot as large as a truck walks slowly toward her. Her lungs feel needy, and her suit is covered in black marks as she rises back up to her feet.
"Save us, Iron Lion!!" Edward cries from the cage at her right, clutching the bars with a nervous expression that matches the other trapped souls (Pepper, holding her hands to her chest in worry; Sanji, face shadowed in a really shounen way; Sheena, holding her arm and hissing; among other mighty heroes). Miss Raine is healing Sailor Cicada, who took a hit in her stead. "Win for me, Sailor Lion!"
ELICIA VISION, DEACTIVATED.
Aaaand in reality? A child is leaping around at imaginary things in front of her house to protect her gardening equipment. And yeah, all that dialogue is being spoken by her, working her pitch to match the person talking.]
I'll save you!! Don't worry, Iron Lion'll never give up!
[How she really looks isn't as cool as that image in her head... but hey, she's more back to normal instead of moping, at least. So much so that she runs around wearing a familiar looking red and gold helmet she'd gotten for her birthday, making woosh noises and putting her hands out like she's shooting things. And then every so often she jumps and there's a little gust of wind all around her feet when she lands, filial magic at its most handy for playing imaginary. This robot? He's going down. In her head. Whatever. It's intense, okay!!
Then a little later, Elicia—still in costume—can also be seen pushing the side of her head against the ground, as if listening for something.]
[Voice]
Hello, everyone! My name is Elicia! If you just got here, don't worry; I'm a superhero and I can help as much as I can. There's lots of good heroes here that will answer you if you need—um, um... if you need aid! Aid and rescue. I can heal you if you have scrapes and bruises, too!
[Hey, she's not wearing the toy helmet now, but she is wearing her cape.]
Are there other superheroes here? We should be friends! My world didn't have cool superheroes like here, but we did have some heroes! They didn't wear cool costumes or have neat powers, though. Just alchemy... It's kinda like heroes, I think.
... If you were a superhero, what would your super hero name be?? What kindsa' powers would you have??

![]() | She looks over, suit's eyes aglow, and nods. The robot laughs, voice electronic and cold, and aims his giant rocket arms in her direction. "You'll never beat my arsenal...!" She clenches her fist and teeth, glowering behind her mask. "There's nothing my lasers can't break through!! I'll do it for the village! Haaa—!!") |

Voice; So i see that Elicia had former interactions with Sora c<
Let's seeeee my superhero name? Hm, gotta stick with my regular old name; Sora. Powers? Well I dunno, heat vision would be pretty neat.
[He'll stick with the power of the heart though any day.]
Voice; that she has! 8D
But your real name isn't as fun to use! But I guess heat vision would be really cool, especially if you gotta fight someone who's made of ice!
[Wait a moment. Waaait a moment. She pauses.]
... Sora? S'that you?
[She has not heard from you in a looooooong while, mister. :C]

He can only imagine what's going on in her head. With a quick glance around as if to see if anyone else is watching, Teddy takes a few steps forward towards the scene, then poses with his fists clenched and his chest puffed out. He does makes his voice a little deeper, but other than that, he won't shift just yet. Not when she doesn't know his power.]
The vicious and terrible Mighty Giant has arrived! Do you give up, Iron Lion?!
[action]
Not a chance—[uh] bucko! I'll never give up fighting for the people!
[DRAMATIC SHIFT IN POSE]
I'll fight always!

He really ought to keep walking. He really ought to.
He looks around furtively - no one looking at the moment, all right, and he can always pretend later that he did this all to anger the so-called heroes of the village - and then stuffs the string in his pocket. He strides over to Elicia and drops to one knee, bowing his head as if this is terribly serious business.]
Are you the fierce Iron Lion? I have searched far and wide for you, to offer my sword and my magic in your service.
[Action]
I am Iron Lion, yeah! I'm the protector of the village; who're you??
[She has to bite her tongue metaphorically on the whole 'magic' thing. Because the kid in the hero wants to know oh gosh what kind of magic can you make stuff float can you fly??]

She knows Edward has protested, might as well fill Elicia's mind with nonsense as private vengeance]
[Voice]
But he's not a superhero 'til he promises to wear a cool hero suit. With a mask and a cape and some other stuff like that.

Wait, you're a superhero? ...You're joking, right? You look like you're four years old or something.

[SHEESH.]
And of course I'm a super hero! I have a special paper from a hero and everything! Why do you gotta be older to be one?

Gods, she's too cute. ♥
Finally, powered by the spirit of youth and creativity, Miyabi removes her caps and shakes out her hair, wandering over with her head bowed all serious like, one hand poised at her side, where her sword is. She won't actually draw the blade, but she has plans to use it during their play session. But anyway, CALLIN' YOU OUT, GIRL.]
Are you the one called Iron Lion?

I wasn't expectin' a little gir- sorry! I meant an amazing super hero!
[Voice]
I'm sorry I didn't write you something nice; I had a really sad time and I couldn't write anything because my feelings were hurt really bad, but I'll write you now. Promise!

voice;
But she sounds as if she's in good humor. There's something infectious in her voice that even has Katniss grinning a little when she replies.]
I don't know what a superhero is.
voice;
You don't know? Really, Miss Katniss? They're really cool!!
They protect their cities from bad people and make sure everyone's safe!

[Voice] - Sailor Mercury
It's better for questions about powers anyway.]
I'm Sailor Mercury. My powers are related to the water.
[voice]
She does that little hand gesture Mercury has going there at the camera.]
I-I'm Sailor Lion! My powers are roaring and swiping, but I do lots of things just in case those don't work on a bad guy!

I dunno what my name would be! Um-m, I don't know lots about superheroes 'cept what I've learned here, y'know? But! My powers would be what I have now, prob'bly. I'm an airbender! So I can do things like this!
[ Give her a minute to prop up the journal so she can be seen backing away and taking a breath to demonstrate the air scooter - that is to say a ball of air she balances on, skimming the edges of the room, before tumbling off and landing on her feet, gently, ending with a little bow. ]
How 'bout you, Elicia? Oh, an' I'm Ikki!
video;
I can-um, um! I can make the earth move a little bit, but I'm not very good at it. I'm much better at making it windy and healing people if they're hurt, but not a whole lot 'cuz I'm still learning; I hope I'll get really good so I can be the best hero I can be.
We should figure out a cool hero name for you!

I'm not a hero, but I have an important duty to my kingdom back home. I have to help the king, so he'll be a good ruler for the people.

Girl, you got an Iron Man head.

It's my helmet! I'm Iron Man's friend—he got this helmet for me, and now Sailor Lion has turned into Iron Lion! I'm fighting the evil robots away to save the village!

Super-heroes! I knew someone at home who was a super hero.
[Well, 'knew' is a little loose since he only met Brycen once, and Brycen was just an actor... but hey, Emmet was a fan of his movies!]
Who's your favorite super hero? What powers do they have?
[Voice]
Sailor Moon has the power of the moon and love and stuff! Iron Man has a really cool suit with lasers and flying stuff. He doesn't have any powers, but that's why he's really cool!
[Voice]
action;
...But what the hell. He's leaving town tomorrow. He might as well stop and condone the superheroistic qualities of Sailor (Iron?) Lion.]
If I'm not careful, you're going to put me out of a job, Short Stack.
[Yeah, he kind of isn't going along with her make-believe. Y e t...]
action;
She is pretty much instantly flustered under the helmet, because it's one thing to get caught playing make-believe in front of people, but this is Iron Man! She's cashing in on his coolness! Must recuperate.]
Ehem-! Iron Man, where have you been, mister?! Everyone's been captured by the evil robot leader!
