27th Teddy Bear [Action Anytime]

[Elicia was expecting to be in the middle of a scuffle between enemy winged soldiers. Not to be waking up half-drugged and in an old-fashion malnosso dress. She hadn't done this little dance in a few years now... What did that mean? Did they come back? Impossible, they were... Well, we'll figure this out as we go, Elicia. When she gets up, she nearly falls over, and finds with frustration that her automail leg wasn't working properly. Something was wrong with the knee—aaah, Winry would be pretty grumpy about that.

'This would be the second time this week.'

But it's around the time she cracks open her journal that she realizes something's not right. These entries, they're only up to her sixth birthday? No, that can't be right. Where did all her other.... Oh. Oh wow.

She was fourteen years in the past.

She limps out of the forest, dazed but not confused enough to ruin her train of thought: go to the item shop, find her clothes. The Malnosso always left clothes. And then she'll head to the smithy, to find her sword and... and then she'll need to find Winry in the smithy. Now dressed up, she's found herself a good pair of glasses; if she can... if she can, she'd rather not tell them who she is. Would that change things?

Would that be so bad, though? She's not entirely sure. She's nervous and worried and—and—

... nostalgic. Much much later, after everything, she'll head to the houses of people she's most familiar with. A lot of people aren't where she remembers, but she'll try to find them none-the-less. Probably after heading to where her mom and dad are. She'll also be wondering around in awe at the place. So much different and yet so much changed.... Don't mind her if she looks dumbfounded at something, or surprised at another. If you're expecting a shorty, you'll be surprised—she's 5'9". Her father has great genes, like that.]



[ooc: EDIT: sorry, but it turns out a second post isn't gonna happen; this post exploded! XD You can catch her on the draft, pre-draft log or malnosso journal draft post though!
Go here to see extra information about her future relationships and her. Go here to fill out the relationship post if you haven't yet!

And lastly, I'll reply to this in a few hours! Got something to do real quick.]

[A while after Elicia gets home to meet the folks, she can find Edward in the backyard, getting some practice in the shade. Because of the fabulous heat wave he's hung his coat out on a nearby tree branch, showing off that pointedly not-red automail arm of his.

...He's also very short again. WEIRD EH.]

1/2

[I IMAGINE IT'S A HORRID REUNION WITH LOTS OF TEARS.

But more importantly, still a little stuffy from crying like a ninny, she's observing him practicing in the shade. Of anyone, she remembers this look most of all. Big bro Ed, oh-so-short.

Wahaha.]

[She claps her hands together. And when he looks over? She's totally WEARING HIS COAT, leaning on the tree. No fear. |D]

Pretty top-form prosthetic you got there.

[Though, the coat's a little... shorter on her. Because she's... pretty tall. Taller than you last remember. ~_~a Is 5'9" a jarring height for someone who used to be so little?

We'll see. When he figures out who this random woman is, anyway.]

[Edward's eyes narrow sharply at the sight- a strange girl, applauding and wearing his coat? Already he's practically radiating disapproval. Though he does note that she's one of the first not to be surprised by his automail.]

...That's my coat.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-16 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Is it? I hadn't noticed.

[It's so warm and snugly. She's not even budging, because trolling is far too much fun.|D]

Fullmetal Alchemist Edward Elric, we meet again. Though I don't suppose you know me, if you're still this short. Still not drinking your milk?
automailed: (I said stop. calling. me. short.)

[OH YOU ARE ASKING FOR IT, GIRL. He bristles, stepping forward. It's his coat, dammit! And she's insulting him.]

Don't call me short!! Who the hell are you!?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
But telling you who I am isn't as much fun.

[She fiddles with the end of the coat, while it hangs off around a sword sheathed on her belt.]

You really don't remember me, after all we've been through?

[I babysat your kids!!]
automailed: (not comfortable with this.)

[Stop expecting people to remember the future!]

I can't remember someone I've never even met.

[Though there is something familiar about her, he just can't place it. He does note that she's armed, though, and keeps an even closer eye on her. Never know when you might get jumped by a crazy coat-stealing stranger.]

[I expect nothing B)]

But you have met me.

We even live in the same house.

[Well, past-tense for her, but still.]

[We live in the-

...Hold it. Hooooooold it. It's starting to click- though it probably wouldn't have come to mind if he hadn't already witnessed a change in age with Winry and Haruhi earlier. Still, the realization makes him stop short and gape at her.]


E... Elicia?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Glorious laughter! Wahaha!]

Bingo!!

It was too fun seeing you get all serious; I couldn't pass it up.

[Holy shit, it is her!? BRAIN. BRAIN BROKEN. Didn't she just get taken away-]

But you were just kidnapped yesterday!

Oh, yeah? Well, they decided to be speedy about things this time around, I guess.

I... guess. [His gaze trails downwards, though- she looks even older than he is, and it's weird. And speaking of weird...]

...You've got automail!

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 10:17 am (UTC)(link)
Mn... Yeah, Winry got it done for me.

[She looks down at the silver calf, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.]

Things happen.

[She's gotten over it.]

A lot happened, actually; I'm pretty far back in my past.
automailed: ([manga] you're scaring me...)

[He can tell it's been a while; she wouldn't look nearly as old as she does without a long passage of time. And now comes a slowly dawning fear- did something else happen in Amestris, or...

...have they been here? All that time, and they've... no. No way. He wouldn't have allowed that, would he?]


How far?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Man, you fun ruiner. Now she has to actually be serious. :C]

... From now? Fourteen years.
automailed: (not that I hate her or... um...)

[Well what did she expect? It's Edward she's talking to.]

...Here?

[He's afraid to ask, but... he has to.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
... It's been fourteen years, here, yeah.

[Wow.

.........Messy. That's just... it's too cruel. That means she's grown up in Luceti, gotten into her own battles, lost a limb...

Little Elicia? Really? It's just wrong. Beyond wrong. It's...]


...I'm sorry...

[Sorry I never got you home.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[She crosses her arms.]

Sorry for what, exactly?
automailed: ([manga] uncomfortable rn.)

[personal profile] automailed 2011-08-22 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I said I... was going to get everyone back home.

[And he really doesn't like the idea that he either continued to fail or just... gave up eventually. It's not right...]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 09:52 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah. A lot of people tried and promised and thought they'd be a hero. [She's giving you a stern look, mister.] You're not the lone ranger here, Ed. You always think you have to do so much, and when you don't succeed, you act like you've let everyone down—like it was some sort of obligation to us.

If that's a look of guilt or pity or hopelessness, I don't want it. I've dealt with enough people making those faces as it is.
automailed: ([manga] run away to another country.)

[personal profile] automailed 2011-08-23 04:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I-it's not pity! [He's vehement about that- he knows better, he'd hate it too. Guilt, though... he averts his eyes, scowling. He'd made a promise. How could he not feel guilty about it? But it's obvious that just saying it won't help him any, so he keeps his mouth shut about that.]

...What about the rest of us?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 10:21 am (UTC)(link)
The rest of you... Well. [Despite the hurt of it, she won't mention Gracia's death. No one took it well. She'd never tell them such awful news. So instead, she smiles as fondly as the fact will allow her.] Alphonse has his body, where I'm from. And mom and dad have three kids instead of just one, now.

Among other things.
