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.]

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?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

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.

[...That's twice now that Elicia's told him Al gets his body back. This time, though, Edward is definitely puzzled and- well, happy, yes, but concerned at the same time. How...?]

Al can get his body back here?

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. He was able to get it from the malnosso in a compromise for using his alchemy to help take care of the village, since we were having a lot of close calls with the Third Party at that point.

[automailed]

So maybe I could ask, then! If he could get it sooner, instead of having to go back to Amestris, then...!

[Forgive him, Elicia, his head is now spinning forever.]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm not sure. It was a pretty intense time, when he got it back. But asking never hurts, right?

[automailed]

Yeah... I'm definitely gonna look into it, then!

[Maybe Al has a chance here, too. He'll be so excited...!]

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Good. I like that face on you a whole lot more.

[automailed]

[W-well that's kind of embarrassing, geez.]

You don't have to say that...
