Elicia Hughes

[Elicia has had a really great New Feather round. For one thing, dad was back. For another, so was Sanji. These reasons alone made her the happiest person in all of Luceti (save for maybe... I dunno, Grune. She's always pretty happy and stuff. Oh, and that dog Dug she hasn't met yet). But otherwise, happiest! And when she pops in on video to address the populace, she's got a big ol' smile. Even if she sounds a little stuffy.]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia! It's getting real cold, so make sure you all got real warm coats, okay?? 'Cause getting a cold is not a good thing; your nose gets real stuffy and you go through... a lot of tissues...

[aah—achoo!

... She might be coming down with something. It happens to the best of us.]

Ummm, I wanna make really tasty hot chocolate and cookies and give them to you... I think I'm gonna ask mama and papa if we can go to the Welcome place so I can... Or maybe I can give the nice people who work there some, so they can give to people...!

[UM UM. IS THERE MORE.]

Oh, yeah! My papa and my big bro are here again, so make sure you say hi! My papa's name is Maes, but lots of people call him Hughes, and my big bro is Sanji—he's a cool chef at the restaurant, so you should definitely try his food! And my papa is a military guy! Is there other people who work in the military? You should meet him!

[... one more thing!]

And Mr. Uncle Jack, I gotta see you again so I can give you back your cool compass, so if you want it...!

[Okay, so the last time she was on-air, it was depressing as hell. But now? After reassurances from so many people? Elicia just can't let her mama down. She can be sad, yes—lots of people said it was okay to cry or be sad when you really are. But after that, she just had to make sure that Gracia would be up-to-speed whenever she did come back. That said, she now has (must to many people's dismay, probably) a pink camera with flowers on it hanging around her neck.

If she knows you and you happen to be passing by the school or her apartment, she may just jump out and take a picture of you! >8^D

If she knows you, be prepared. She will get you. Do not doubt her. Because she is a wonderful photographer like that.

CR who knows her papa well enough for Hughes to trust them with his daughter (such a small list, sob)? Be prepared for a visit sooner or later this week! She is totally visiting everyone and just enjoying the hell out of company—it keeps her occupied, and the sting of her mother's absence is far easier to ignore among friends. Winry? Let's have a sleepover. A nice, girly sleepover, with hair products and scary stories and sugar. Nami, she wants to come over for a tea party. Or maybe a chocolate milk party. WHAT SAY YOU?

And then when that's all said and done, it'll be time for the usual video post:]

Hi, guys! I hope everyone's feeling good today!

I got a big question, 'cause I've been thinking a lot and I reaaally wanna know! What's a really happy day you had here in Luceti? A really happy day where you were just real, real happy! One you won't never ever forget!

[...one more little question. For now.]

O-oh... and, um... I was wondering—where are the pictures on movies? How does a funny disc have sound and pictures on it...?
