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.]

[Always - don't think she doesn't hear that.]

It's not your fault.

[...seriously, stepping back is impossible right now.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-20 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, some of it probably was. Will be. [She wipes her eye, laughing nervously.] The time I fell off the roof was probably my fault.

[Gracia's hands still cling to Elicia's shoulders, though she's stepped back and is now just... looking over her daughter with fear and wonder.]

Well, you seem to all be in one piece, so that's one thing less to worry about.

[Then we shan't address the fact that one of my legs isn't a legit leg. :|

... We'll hide that for a while.]


So I'm... I'm six now, right? This is around when I was six?

[Oh, had she been crying? She hadn't really noticed before. A shaking hand wipes at her cheek as Gracia begins to lead them both over to sit down at the porch.]

It was just your birthday a few weeks ago. The house turned into a castle.

[She laughs.]

I remember that! I have a picture of it in my room...!

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-23 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
[... and blinks, sitting down and looking in awe.]

So. The room in the house... is my old room when I was little...

[Sitting is good. Sitting is... definitely good.]

So... you were here all this time?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-24 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
For about half a day, actually. I guess this is... just one of those weird mallynap effects. From my past? I'm not really sure...

[She itches her head, confused.]

I don't know, I'm just waiting until something happens, really...
contentedly: (Concerned | What is This?)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-08-24 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gracia makes an abortive move with one hand, a sign of how agitated she is - she does not usually make unnecessary movements.]

What I mean is that you... you grew up here. We all stay here?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-25 10:05 am (UTC)(link)
Um. Yeah. That's what happens... in my timeline, anyway. I can't make heads or tails of a lot of things, but that's how it is, where I'm from...

I see. [She's... not sure what she thinks or feels about that, really.]
contentedly: ([Elicia] Tell Me All About It)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-08-26 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
[She turns to this strange Elicia with a small smile on her face.]

You'll have to tell me all about it. Tell me everything you can.

[Those should be familiar words - 'Tell me all about it.' She's certainly used them often enough.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-28 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[She clasps her hands together, a bit flustered.]

W-well. I don't know how much I should saaaay... Um. What would you like to know about, mom?
contentedly: (All of My Faith and Trust)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-08-28 05:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[So. Many. Questions.

Let's go to the most important.]


Are you happy?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-08-29 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[.... smile]

Hummm... I'd say, about 90 percent of the time. That's pretty good, right?
contentedly: (Always Interested When It's You)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-09-02 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
That's pretty good, yes.

So what else?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-09-04 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Should she really be telling her mother about having more kids? That would be kind of overwhelming. She can already imagine them hushing her with their fingers.]

Um... Ed and Winry got married a while back, actually...
contentedly: (Of Course | Engaged)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-09-04 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? [...not that Gracia thinks poorly of Haruhi, but...]

That's good news. The two of them are very well suited for each other.

[And a glimmer of mischief.]

And what about you? Any young men your father should start keeping an eye out for?

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[B-BLUSH 8^|]

No! I mean, nothing like that. I haven't found anyone I like like that yet...
contentedly: (Laughter | My My | Hand to Chin)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-09-07 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Blushing, huh?]

You're blushing.

[You're busted, honey.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-09-07 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
N-no! It's just—there are a few cute guys, but they're a little older. Besides, I've been too busy with... stuff. I don't need to worry about boys!

[BLUSHBLUSHBLUSH!]
contentedly: (Of Course | Engaged)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-09-07 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? What kind of 'stuff?'

[Oh honey, you're too cute.]

[identity profile] yaburuyo.livejournal.com 2011-09-08 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
You know! Stuff like... Like helping around the house, and practicing my filial spirits, and--you know! Stuff! [She squares her shoulders, looking up with a pout.] You're teasing me, aren't you?
contentedly: (Tee-Hee!)

[personal profile] contentedly 2011-09-09 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe a little bit.
