Hello, hello! I'm Elicia, and I'm seven. If you just got here, you're in Luceti! Welcome!

There's lots of really nice people who like to help, so it's okay if you ask for help. When I got here, I didn't ask for help but everyone helped me anyways... You guys missed Christmas here, but it's okay, because I'll get you a present if you really want one; it'll be like a special package in the mail! It's the least I can do, being a cerdurfied superhero.

[She adds quickly, as an afterthought:]

A-also, if you wake up in the snow, be really careful, too. Snow's cold! It'll make you sick if you're in it for a long time.

[Now... Where was she...

Hm.

Hmmm. Maybe it'd be a good time to test out her lie-proof magic stone...? She's admittedly... been afraid to touch it. Partially because of how her friends feel about Mr. Loki and what had happened, but also because... is it bad, to see if people are lying? Does it make her a bad girl? It's things to really think about.

So she blurts out something in the middle of her thoughts, clutching the magical stone in her hand, out of sight of the little screen.]

Truth or Dare!

[... Good enough.

From this point on, she'll keep the stone in her pocket.

... just in case. After all, a little girl has some doubts. She just wants to make sure of some things every once and a while sometimes, right? That's why when she's done on the journal, she'll look for Winry for a one-on-one talk, if she's available for it. Maybe looking a little nervous before she calls to her, anyway. Stuff has been kinda... difficult recently...

Maybe now wouldn't be a good time to ask about things.

She'll also spend a lot of the day out in the front since it's kinda... hotter today than it usually is. What's up with this weird Luceti weather, guys? All the snowy stuff is melting... Man, even her little snowmen. And her cool igloo. :C

She'll go ahead and pout on the steps, holding one of the snowman's twiggy arms in one hand.

Cruel World.]

((OOC: Elicia'll be using a magic stone given to her by Loki, so if your character tells a lie while she holds it, they'll have a red halo around their head in their journal image. If they're telling the truth, it'll be green. Note that it's based on what your character thinks, so even if they're wrong, if they believe their own words it'll be truth!))

[Loki leans closer to the screen when she shows him the stone. It seems a harmless stone. A keepsake of some sort. Still, the word 'harmless' and his older self do not go hand in hand.]

It is a pretty stone indeed. What does it do? Or is it a mere gem?

[He shakes his head and presses a finger to his lips.]

My lips are sealed. Yet, why would they forbid you to befriend him? My older self is a most friendly individual, he would not hurt a fly.

[No, he destroys Midgardian cities instead...]

... It's something that tells me if Mr. Loki is lying or not.

He didn't want me to think he was lying to me.

[She pauses, looks down at her feet.]

Mr. Loki... hurt a lot of people once. He tried to hurt even more before they stopped him.

[What nonsense. Not from the girl, she's a mere child. But what is his older self trying to prove here? This is not how to forge friendships.]

You are the one who decides to trust him. Not some stone.

[He shakes his head.]

Mmhm... Yeah...

But I dunno if I trust him or not; I wanna be his friend, but I don't feel like I trust him yet. Not like I do with Mr. Tony or my big sis or uncle Law!

[Loki has a lot of opinions about this. He could warn this young girl, but he is sure Tony (if that is Tony Stark) would do so already.]

You cannot be one's friend if you cannot trust him. I think the word acquaintance would be more fitting for your relationship with my older self.

... You think so? Then... we're not friends?

[She can't help but feel a little disappointed.

She doesn't like the idea of losing friendship, after all.]

Maybe not entirely. But that does not mean you cannot be his friend.

Ah, I should refrain from the dangerous 'my older self and friendship' conversations. Perhaps...

[Loki smiles again, the type of smile he sometimes used to get things done.]

...you can give the stone to me and I shall keep it. And you will approach my older self without said stone and test if he is a truly good friend, yes? Friendship comes from the heart, not from a stone.

And if you wish to have it back I will give it back immediately.

... I--you'll take good care of it? I can ask for it back, if I really need to?

Always. You have my word.

[Loki nods firmly.]

Do you wish for me to come by to pick it up? I shall bring Skittles as well.

... Skittles?

[first thing is first, loki

wassat]

[Loki flashes a bag of them in front of the screen.]

Sweet candy that makes you able to taste the rainbow.

You can taste a rainbow?!!?

When you combine all the Skittles they say it is possible to taste a rainbow of fruity flavored candy.

Something like that and the like, yes.

I wanna try them! I wanna try! You'll bring them??

Of course. I told you I would, you see? I always keep my promises.

[He flashes the bag of Skittles for a second time.]

Behold!

Okay, okay! I'll do it; we'll trade!

Perfect! Where shall we meet to trade?

[Congratulations, Loki, you just cheated a 7 year old out of a magical rock.]

My house! My front yard! Can you find House 23?

That will not be a problem! Wait for me there, I will be on my way.

[After that he waves shortly and shuts the journal. It would be interesting to possess a stone made by his older self that could tell truths and lies apart. Horribly ironic as well.

Chances are that his older self tampered with the rock enough that it would be useless to others. After all this would be a thing that could come back and bite his older self in his older behind.

Five minutes later he walks out of community building five, burdened with great bags of skittles.]

[Alas, poor little dude, the stone only works for Elicia, so told by Loki. But on the bright side, a little girl without a magic lie-detector stone is always a bad idea. Maybe. But she's waiting outside her home with the stone still secured in her pocket, rocking on her heels. Eventually she gets lazy and moves to sit on the carousel Edward had made, near the back of the house.]

[Loki arrives a bit later and has to look for a moment to track down the little girl, finally locating her sitting on a carousel.]

Ah. I am a bit late, my apologies. I still need to get the hang of being 'on time', you see?

[She giggles a little, hugging close to the handle connecting the worse to the ride.]

You're not very good at being on time? Are you late to school a lot?

I do not attend a school. Too smart for that and all that jazz.

Shall we complete our great deal? After that I will join you on that spinning contraption.

[She holds out the stone.]

It's not a contraption! It's a carousel. Don'tchu know carousels?
