Elicia Hughes

 [First thing's first: Elicia's living with Winry now, with papa, in her big house. Admittedly, she did like the different people passing back and forth in the community housing, but oh my gosh, her room is bigger! Heck yeah. So instead of running around the front of an apartment complex, she'll be running around in front of #23, next door to big bro Keiichi who totally lied about cooties but it's okay except we should address that this post shouldn't we??. She's got herself a few scrapes on one knee from working on riding that bicycle without the training wheels, but other than that? She's in crazy good spirits.

In fact, as she's out in front of the house, she sits with said injured knee bent; before long, she cups her hands over it and closes her eyes (though it doesn't help much in the way of focusing for her; gotta be legit-looking, right?). And when she takes her hands away, the scrapes are gone and she's smiling proudly.

FIRST THING OF BUSINESS: School!

SECOND THING OF BUSINESS: Setting up a little stand to give people some cookies. Because when you live in a big cool house you get all kinds of time to make cookies. Granted, they're mostly pre-made and were heavily heavily supervised. Should you be coming by, she'll totally give you one. And maybe a glass of milk. By the way, there's a sign that says 'WELCOM SENTER NUMBER 2' in big bold letters. Be warned: she still has her pink camera, and she will use it.

Now... THIRD THING OF BUSINESS!!! It's time to address the public! 8D

The first thing to be seen is her banner, which she's drawn up again--however, Luceti is spelled correctly this time around! HUZZAH!!]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia, and I'm five years old! I like riding my bicycle, even though I fall down sometimes, and I like drawling and reading and counting and jump roping! What kinds of things do you like? I always like to hear about everything people likes, 'cause it's always the thing that makes them smile most! And I like learning new stuff!

Like-- I learned that cooties aren't real. 

I don't think they are anyway, 'cause I was told they're not... even though someone else said they were... but maybe he was just confused...

[... not entirely sure on that one. :I

ANYWAYS:]

Are all my friends doing okay? 'Cause I know there was a big scary fighting thing that happened, so I was real worried about all the people who had to go! Are you guys all okay? You gotta let me know, or I'll be super worried 'til you do, okay?

I think that's it!

[... a pause] OH!! And don't forget: this world is made of love and peace!

[How could she forget to address this VERY IMPORTANT THING?! D:]



((ooc: slowly getting of hiatus with Elicia! The others'll be back by friday ^^))

[A relatively normal day, so far. Elicia'd been coloring up pictures of pirates (fire-breathing lions were soooo last week) and was generally relaxing in her new setting. Lots of new friends and happy times! But as she finished up Mr. Pirate's peg-leg, she happened to notice, by chance, something out the apartment's windows...

A small bird limping across the grass outside!

Well, leaving it certainly wouldn't do... It'll only take a second to go see and it's close by, so it'sokay!—besides, it looks like it could rain in a little bit... She has to make sure the little critter wasn't stuck out during a drizzle...

So Elicia leaves the apartment and rushes down the stairs, slip-on shoes click-clacking all the way. She can see the bird in the distance trying to flap a mangled wing, and runs toward it... which is, in hindsight, a bad idea, because it just darts into the brush. She continues for a few seconds until she's in a little clearing, where soft frenzied chirps meet her ears.

A tree! Over there~!

She climbs its jutting roots and looks into a hole to find baby birds, all chirping and fat... like their mama? Aaah, but that means mama bird was missing! Was it really the one she'd chased earlier? Well, she'll just sit and admire the babies for now while waiting for any sign of said mama birdy, whenever you feel like bumping into her.]
