Hello, everyone. I'd like to take this time to remind you again that the smithy is not only for weapons. We are engineers, and will take up commissions. I cannot speak for the others on this, but I am willing to try my hand at almost anything. So please keep us in mind whenever you need something made, fixed, or upgraded!

In addition I'd like to tell anyone who knew Edward Elric during his previous stay here that he is back. He just arrived, so please take it easy on him?

[Filtered to Haruhi]
Especially you, okay? Be nice.

[Okay, some Orders of Business before she starts Winry Day. She picks up the journal to contact the following people:]

( Includes → TMNT Crew sans Karai; Legato, Vash; and Sokka | All 96% Unhackable )

[And now for something a little more open:] What's everyone looking forward to with Spring and warmer weather on our doorstep?

[With that done she'll head over Haruhi's place for Winry Day. It's overcast, but that's never stopped them before.

ooc: This is forward dated to the early afternoon of Sunday. Also Winry doesn't know Legato was mallynapped.]

[Everyone seemed so down by the draft, but Winry just couldn't be. You have to have faith in your fellow Lucetians, right? Surely they are skilled enough. They have to be. She believes in them. Honestly her bright outlook comes from the understanding that Haruhi and she have come to about their relationship. Everything seem to fit. Everything seemed to be in its place. No more wondering about what kind of awkward could slip in and break apart their bond. No more. Now she felt closer than ever, and she couldn't feel better.

So today, with her oozing good feelings all over the place, she'll be getting a few things done:
→ Jack Sparrow will be visited by his boat at the lake, and she'll have the vest he ordered.
→ House 55 will get a few knocks on their door. She needs to apologize to Raphael after all.
→ House 46 will also be dropped in on. She needs to settle things with Terry. If he's not there? Or if he's sleeping in? Well. There's always some other day.

Finally she can be caught at the smithy or between her visits. It must be odd to see one girl smile so much in the face of the looming fight.]

T-to those who knew Alphonse Elric, he's - [Gone home? No. He said he was headed to-] gone back to Germany. His room is empty, his things are gone. So... [She can't say much more. To avoid sobbing or crying she switches to something else. Her voice cracks a little/]

Mr. and Mrs. Hughes? Would the both of you and Elicia like to move in? This house big enough for all of us. And kind of empty now.

[Later, after she's calmed for a bit, she'll add this on:]
Oh, and New feathers? Don't forget to stop by the smithy after you've settled in. We have all sorts of things ranging from weaponry to tools. The three of us that work there also do commission work, so don't be upset if you don't find what you want. I even specialize in prosthesis if someone needs an installation or repair.

[ooc | Also, ladies and gents, if I can lead you to this CR LIST, it would be a great if you could drop a note so I know who wants to be added.]

I was expecting to be dressed in a costume not of my choosing, but is it too much to ask for something practical? I have work to do! Long flowing sleeves is hazardous, and I can't even take them off. The hair arrangement is out of this world, too.

[Some may find her sitting in a creepy, gnarled, wooden bench outside of the smithy. Avoiding the cobwebs that hang from both sides of the ends, Winry sits smack dab in the middle. She wears this get up, looking all too unhappy about it. Go ahead and bother her.]

[Today during the storm you can catch Winry in one of two places. Sometime after lunch she can be found in the smithy taking a nap on Sokka's spiffy couch. She was up all night last night, so some sleep is nice. She might wake up in a bit to help any New Feathers acquire their weapons or work on her own little projects. However after a few hours of that she'll head home early.
The second place is at House Twenty-three. If you walk down the path to C6 you can see her at her bedroom window. She may look bored, but she's thinking. Thinking like she had been all night. Her breath fogs up the glass, and occasionally she'll draw little numbers and letters that may make no sense. But for her they are compositions of alloys and percentages of the different metals. Finally she'll do what she had been thinking about for the better part of two days. She opens her journal, and begins to write:]

[Filtered from Selim Bradley/Pride + B3 Filter | 90 100%]

Residents of Luceti I have some information I think you all should know. Not too long ago a little boy named Selim Bradley from my world arrived.

But he's not just a little boy. He is a homunculus that goes by the name of Pride. Some of you may remember this from [...] Some of you may remember Ed's announcement about him when Pride first left Luceti. He's still pretending to be an innocent child, so I suspect he doesn't know we're aware of what he really is. I caution whoever encounters him. He may look sweet, but I've met homunculi before, and they are dangerous. Apparently last time he was here he hurt people, and threatened them.

Do not try to confront him. Homunculi from my world can be killed multiple times and not die. Pride will be staying in house twenty-three for those of you who want to avoid him.

If you loved someone, and you were apart from them for a long time, how long would you wait?

[Filtered to Hughes | 89%]

Can I talk to you? It's kind of important.

[/Filters]

[For those of you who are out at night, you might find Winry sitting (or in the process of climbing up) on the rooftop of House #23 when the sun falls. She watches the stars, as if waiting for one to fall and grace her with a wish. Or maybe they'd gather together, and spell out for her an answer from the heavens. ]

[Winry's up by those Sakura trees again, trying to contact Nala now that everything is... not quite normal, but settled down. However she's still having trouble. Why won't that spirit talk to her?! Maybe Nala is still recovering from all the Doomsday crap Luceti was put through. But still! It's been a few days now! Why was Winry being ignored!? She was told Nala was supposed to be easy to talk to! Frustrated the girl finds a small rock. She kicks it, and it goes flying. Off to where? She doesn't know or care at the moment. If you're passing by that area it might just hit you on the head, so watch out!
She'll pace between these trees before whipping out her journal and making a voice post.]

Has anyone else had trouble contacting the Spirits since the earthquake?

Oh, and Miss Celty! Your bike is finished. You may pick it up at the smithy, although I'm not there today. I left it leaning on the couch if you stop by there.

[Also later in the day she'll stop by House 55, and peek through a window to check on the guys. She hasn't seen any of them since before the quake, and she's worried. But at the same time she doesn't want to bother them. If something was up they'd let her know... right?]

(ooc: AU info can be found here, and will be replying with

asimplereason )

[Stay occupied, stay occupied. Desperately Winry's been trying to throw herself so far into her work so that she may forget about everything. Normally this isn't hard, but a handful of things have been weighing heavily on her lately. Between Ed's announcement about Pride, Donatello's odd behavior, and her attempts to ignore the war, this girl has started to become a bit of a wreck. While working on that lock for Batman, she ended up burning herself when she tried to handle metal that she didn't allow to cool long enough. Late at night she'll give this public voice:]

When would you consider experimental science to be taken too far? Where's the line?
( Action - For you smithy go-ers )

[After a few days of shutting herself in her room, and trying to figure out if the Closed Space was all just a dream, Winry can be found not at the smithy --no, she's too afraid to check up on it just yet-- but at the front of house 23. In shorts and and sports bra, (this sans the baseball equipment) she pulls the weeds out of her strawberry garden.

It's a hot day out in Luceti today, and Winry's left her hose on and unraveled as well. Feel free to bother her about that.]

I wonder... I know a lot of people want to go home, but who would rather go to a world someone else is from?

[The Batman Filter - 86%]
Your first order is finished. When and where do you want to pick them up?
[/End Filter]

[Today Winry is at the smithy. She doesn't seem to be doing much of anything but keeping herself busy today. Polishing already made works, cleaning and organizing tools... Sokka, if you're around she'll want to talk to you about her working schedule. If Raph is around he'll notice a few things missing. Do you enjoy a game of hide-and-go-seek?]
[Anyone else is welcome to bother her for commissions or to ask about picking up new feather weaponry.]

[Today is a beautiful day! Well, aside from the cold snap, everything is normal. The sun is out, residents are doing their best to handle the next experiment, and awkwardness ensues. Yep! Just a normal day in Luceti.]
[However what isn't normal is that you can't find Winry in the smithy today. Instead if you pass by house 23, one will be able to catch Haruki Suzumiya and Winry Rockbell together. It's nothing scandalous, to assure you. They're merely taking the patch of lawn in front of the house and turning it into garden! Feel to bother the two while they get their hands dirty. Heaven knows they should never have any time alone.]

(ooc: Threads will most likely go Your Character - Winry - Haruki. Unless otherwise specified in the subject heading.)
