[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.]

Your art teacher?

[it wasn't so much disbelief as surprise and confusion. She hadn't exactly been teaching anyone art here]

Yeah...

[She shifts, awkward.]

In the future, anyway.

The future?

[it was a kind of nervous thrill as the words process. It seemed like forbidden knowledge. Except, in a place like this, it was possible. Buffy had told her as much. So had Giles. Even Horatio was from a different time than Archie. The journal closes in her hands as she looks up at the girl in surprise. It hasn't quite registered that there are two possible futures to consider. One outside of Luceti...and one here]

Where are you from? [a beat] Or...when, I guess?

I'm from... 14 years from now. I grew up here.

[she hunches her shoulders, feeling awkward with such unusual news.]

My name's Elicia.

Elicia?!

[oh god...her eyes widen as she looks the girl over again, taking in those details that had been familiar without reason before] ...I should have-

I should have realized.

What-

Have you seen your family, yet?

Mhmm, I got to see them... [elicia fiddles with her gloves, at the thought] It was nice; they weren't too freaked out.

Having you home safe would be more important than anything else.

[even things like fastforwarding years into the future]

This is all-

I'm sorry. You've probably been dealing with all kinds of dumb responses all day.

...How are you?

Me? I've been far worse. It's just... a pretty crazy day. I keep expecting to just blink and be back in the real world.

Never been time-jumping, that's for sure.

I'd think it's not all that unusual here, but this is a little different. This isn't going home and coming back.

It's definitely new to me. I hope I'm not screwing anything up that needs to stay the way it is...

You know...

[a thoughtful pause] That would mean things are fated to go a certain way...and I don't know that I believe that's how it works. If you're back here now, you're back here. And what you do isn't going to be right or wrong. It just...is.

.... You think so, Miss Jilly?

[A pause, as she looks down at her hands.]

I guess that makes sense.

I really do.

Who knows. Maybe this is exactly what needed to happen.

[She smiles; even though this is new and weird and emotional at times, she'd like to think it was all for a good cause.]

I hope so.

[she smiles then, an expression somewhere between gentle and cheerful]

So you've jumped back in time. What do you want to do, then?

I—

...

.... Good question.

[that gets a laugh]

Well, maybe we can figure something out.

What's something you haven't done in ages?

Hmmm....

Well, it's been a long time since I sat down and watched a good movie.

Or indulged in a whole bag of stuff from the bakery.

....those both sound like absolutely amazing ideas.

Would you like any company? We've got a decent selection of movies back at House 7...though you might have to work the DVD player. I've only sort of figured it out. [she hasn't really devoted much energy to it, and none of the people in the house were really the sit-still-and-watch type, without reason. Company, of course, was the best of reasons.]

You know, that sounds like a really good plan.

You wouldn't mind?

Not at all. In fact, I'd be honored.
