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—!!") |

[He grins.]
Well, traditionally, 'tis a quest, no?

[Action]
Like giant mantises!!!
[THAT'S PRETTY SCARY RIGHT?]
[Action]
Surely not! They have so many legs, it is most disquieting!
[He makes a gesture and points behind her.]
Like one of those?
[It's an illusion of a giant mantis, but an outline, like a sketch in the air, crafted carefully to be amusing and exciting rather than scary.]
[Action]
She makes a long UWAAAAHaaaaaa noise, because gaping and staring is a great response.]
Yeah! Yeah, exactly like that! You're a really good magician...!
[Action]
Or a man with a bad imagination, so I must see all the monsters we fight.
[The illusion moves its claws at them threateningly.]
