27th Teddy Bear [Action Anytime]

[asobouyo]

[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.]

Well enough, but I grew up in the countryside. It was exciting, but a little too busy for me.

[And... Oh! Here we are.] I found your problem. A gear in here is corroded. I can replace it for you easy.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Aah, that's it? Geez, you'd think the Malnosso could at least toss me back here with some decent parts.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

They've never been quite so generous. [Winry stands to go to the back and fetch a gear.]

That design there you have is pretty familiar. Could you tell me who made it?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Uuuuuh... Who made it...

[WHY DID YOU ASK THIS.]

Sssssomeone... in Central?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[You don't sound too sure...] Do you not know your mechanic...?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Um. It was... Fred...ric Something.

[MASTER OF LIES.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

You know that's totally transparent.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Is not! I just have—

poor memory.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Your mechanic is someone you should be seeing often. Poor memory or not, that doesn't bode well for you. Jeez, she's just like Ed.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Ed, huh...? [... Grin.] He a friend of yours?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yes, a friend, but the most difficult customer I have.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.]

Really that bad, huh?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he doesn't listen to anything I say, or even take care of his automail! It's like pulling his teeth to get him to even do routine maintenance on it!

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[sneeeerk]

Ever heard of a shock collar? I hear it does wonders for making people listen.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Some people would consider that a little inhumane. [But she laughs, and brings back the replacement gear and sets it in there.]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

[shrug!]

It's not inhumane if he never has to be zapped! He just has to be a good boy.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but... if he was completely good he might just be boring.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

That's true. Keeps you on your toes. As long as it isn't too dangerous.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's almost impossible to keep him out of trouble.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Until he ends up hobbling back, huh?
