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.]

Very fond, actually. I used to do a great deal of traveling, before I came here.

But after a few months of being here, it doesn't seem as though there are any new places.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

That so? It doesn't seem as tiny as it is, huh?

[consultmybooks]

It takes me days to walk anywhere outside this village. Without trains and the like, I'd hardly call it tiny.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

But still smothering sometimes, despite that, right? Being forced to stay in a place probably does that...

[consultmybooks]

I don't think I'd mind so much if we weren't quite so forcibly prevented from leaving.

[He sighs, shaking his head.] Still. If you ever want to see some of the places outside the village, let me know. I don't get out of here often enough. The beach in particular is quite nice.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind! Thanks for the help.

[consultmybooks]

Best of luck. [He smiles absently, makes to turn away...and then frowns, and looks back.]

Sorry. I don't think I caught your name. And I'm not sure I ever gave you mine.

[yaburuyo.livejournal.com]

Ahh--My name... is Eli. It's nice to meet you.

[consultmybooks]

And my name is Giles. Likewise, Eli.

You should probably stop by the Welcome Center once you're done here, at least.

[She waves, with a smile]

I'll be sure to do that. Thanks a lot, Giles.
