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.]

[Elicia awkwardly shuffles over until Rydia's in few, and stares just to make sure. She's aged so well... but even if she didn't, as long as she had that nice green hair, it wouldn't be too hard.

She smiles a little, leaning her hand on her hilt casually. Notice the tall girl approaching?]


Rydia?

[Rydia glances up after a moment.]

Yes?

[....

She stands up suddenly, her eyes widening.]


A New Feather? Already? But--?

[Wait, how does know her name? So confused.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-16 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
No, not quite a new feather.

A-actually. Well, normally, I'm six.

[.____________.]

In this time, I mean. I'm not really from now.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-16 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Silence and staring for a long moment.]

...Elicia?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 06:53 am (UTC)(link)
... Yeaaah. It's me.

[She droops her chin, smiling.]

You were a little older yesterday, last time I saw you.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
And you're...a lot older.

[Rydia wonders if this is what it felt like for her friends when she disappeared at age seven and returned a short time later...as an adult. She steps forward, looking her over.]

I...how...what happened...?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not entirely sure myself. But. I think I sort of... [She motions a little anxious in front of her with her fingers, like a barrel rolling downhill. And boy, did it certainly feel that way.] I think I went back in... time...?

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-17 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rydia rakes a hand through her hair, trying to process this.]

You....

...do I even want to know what happened, or is it all horrible?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Elicia brings her hands up, as if surrendering.]

Good and bad, I'd say. Iiii wouldn't want to spoil too much... I mean, I don't know, it's probably a little overwhelming...

[Wait until she explain how far into the future she's from. :|]

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 12:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rydia pauses, considering. She's never a fan of the future being set in stone, especially hers. However...some part of her is curious.]

Well...I trust you to tell me whatever you think best. If you don't share much, I understand.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[She rubs the back of her head, before dipping her chin and smiling.]

I'd say... you'd be pretty content, with your future. Even with all the bad things.

[A pause.]

... Still with Kain?

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She nods instantly, though torn between asking what Elicia knows about Kain; if he had died again (probably), if he'd gone home, if....]

Yes, I am.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Woooow... Then you really have been together for a long time, huh?

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-19 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[That gets her attention and she smiles.]

So we still are, in your time? I'm glad to hear it.

[If the future really is set in stone...well, there are worse fates.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
You are.

...

And then them. [:|] B-but most of the future isn't important until it happens, right?

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rydia is silent for a moment, letting that sink in.]

I've always believed that the future wasn't set in stone, that what we do now can always change things. But still...some part of me would like that guarantee, you know? That things turn out more or less alright.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... I'd like to think that, too. That the future isn't set in stone. That's why I'd like to fix some things...

[a smile]

But I think a lot of things will turn out alright.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She raises an eyebrow.]

What do you want to fix?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-22 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
[...]

I know some people who die. I'd like to change that fate, if I can.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-22 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She frowns, confused.]

Not that I want anyone to die, but...wouldn't they come back in a week?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 09:43 am (UTC)(link)
[After a pause, she shakes her head, a quiet look of pain flashing across her features.] The Third Party brought down the malnosso's means of bringing us back. It's been that way... for a few years now.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grows pale at that, speechless for a bit. When she finds her voice, it's a forced calm.]

...do you know how? Maybe if we knew now, we could prevent it.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-24 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It was during a draft. We ended up overwhelmed and they by-passed us. I, um... wasn't in that draft, though.

[identity profile] eidolon-soul.livejournal.com 2011-08-24 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, so much for a first-hand account. Rydia sighs and rakes a hand through her hair.]

Still, whatever you heard about it will be helpful.

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that was when the Third Party actually managed to get to the malnosso and wreck the place. It's pretty hard for a barrier or reviving to stay intact when they start blowing up their main place, y'know...?
