"One day I am going to get married. One day I will have children. One day I will be an expert in my field. One day I'll show people what I'm capable of. One day I will have what I want. One day I will do 'this' or accomplish 'that.' "

Have any of you thought about these kinds of things? I'm sure a some people have thought about their future, even if it wasn't for long or deeply about it. Is there ever anything you were sure that you were going to do that Luceti has taken away? Or maybe you changed your goals? Or are... confused about them? Are any still the same?

[Returning back from their mallynapping are Haruhi and Winry. They first wake up in a classroom inside the school, with the new feather dress as their uniform. After their meeting in the school the two - now young - girls head out into the plaza. Despite the rain the two continue to explore the town, and can even be found splashing around in the fountain. Approach them at your own risk, or beware. They may run over to harass you for information, splash you with fountain water or a nearby puddle, or even make faces at you if you ignore them. Watch out, Luceti. The girls are storming the village.

ooc; This is a joint post for Haruhi & Winry. They've returned young (about 11/12 years old). The posting order will go as such: Your Character → Haruhi → Winry.

[There's a pause of silence as the journal begins to record. Listeners can hear a deep inhale and a following exhale before Winry begins to speak. When she does the girl tries to sound confident, but in all honesty she's scared of what she has to do.]

Hey everyone, have you heard of automail yet? It's a state of the art prosthetic limb that is attached to ones nerves to make it perform like a full functioning arm! Admittedly it's not for everyone because the installation surgery is intense, but those have automail say that the convenience is worth it! I know not many of you are lacking limbs, but for those who are I suggest looking into it. If there are any questions I'll answer them here.

Speaking of, I need to talk to you guys about Tuesday.

Hey, are there any musicians out there I could ask some help from? I'm working on something so I'd really appreciate some input!

I'd also like to hear any lullabies from people's childhoods if anyone is willing to share.

[As per usual anyone can catch her at the smithy, but Winry can also be found browsing the item shop today. One can find some nifty things in there if they just browse. In particular she'll be looking for a phonograph and some records, but she won't be disappointed if she doesn't find them. She's never really in there often enough to know the range of things that do and do not show there.]

[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.]

[Today, instead of the smithy, Winry is hanging out at the library. She's got some research to do, so she'll be quietly reading up a storm in there. She periodically checks the journals, and after a little Girl Talk she'll contact someone:]

[Filtered to Suki | 96%]
Hey, Suki? A friend and I are going to be hanging out, and I was wondering if you'd like to join us? There will be cookies and ice cream. [Because that's not a bribe at all.]
[/Filter]

[Around 2pm she'll head to the grocer to pick up a simple lunch. If someone happens to catch her today, they'll notice a young friend of hers has been trying out New Hairstyles for her.]

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.]

[Early afternoon on December the eleventh. Winry's second birthday in Luceti. No party though because it was simpler that way. Not many people knew anyway, did they? Eighteen now, Winry. Time flies, doesn't it? And as you grow and change He stays the same. Get up and go to work Winry. No excuses girl. It's not snowing, although there are leftovers from the day before. Winry trudges through the snow, making her way to the smithy. Feel free to catch her while she makes her trip to work, or while she's there.

Later in the day she makes a voice post:]

Has this place changed any of you? So much so that if a friend from home were to arrive it might be weird?

[Today Winry can be found in a few places:
Late Morning / Early Afternoon → In the clothing shop one can find her looking for clothes that better suit the cold weather that's going to be coming up. While browsing through racks of clothes she starts to hum this. One can also catch her flipping through a few racks of things she normally wouldn't look at, such as maid outfits and frilly things. If anyone asks her about it, she will deny everything. ~~It has nothing to do with Haruki, shush.~~
Mid-Afternoon / Early evening → She'll be in the smithy waiting for Vash to show up. He has a tune up today! Anytime before or after that she will be organizing a large box of scattered parts.
After Dark → Winry will be sitting at the fountain, running her hands through the cold water while she thinks. After an hour or so of that she'll head home and throw up a voice post.]

[Properly dated to today / Monday after her talk with Keiichi.

Screaming can be heard from the lake. Not screams of help, but shouts of anger. A whole lot of noise is being made from one girl. If one sees her they'll notice her rage is also being taken out in the form of skipping - well no - chucking rocks into the lake. Sooner or later Winry's energy will wear thin, but for now she feels the need to vent.]

How dare you, you liar! [splash!] You said you wouldn't leave! You told me!

[Tears stream down her face as she picks up another rock. Anyone is welcome to find her to yell at her for disturbing the peace, or even just watch her fall apart. She'll mostly be there all day and start walking to House 23 by sundown.]

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.

[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. ]

[It all happened so fast. She had only wanted to help him. Instead now she lies on the dirt road in a puddle of her own blood. Winry can't move, she can't even turn herself over. The red liquid stains her clothes and hair, spreading like an infection. The best the girl can do is turn her head so the steadily growing puddle doesn't choke her. Pain throbs through her body, almost blocking out the desperate questions she silently asks herself: Will someone find her? Will she survive?

So after this Winry is kind of dying in between the smithy and House 23. Someone help a girl out? Oh yeah, and don't step in that puddle of blood. Could stain your shoes, y'know.]

[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 )

[It's windy today. The day before was overcast. Winry's glad it isn't raining. She heads toward the smithy, but bypasses that to head up toward where the Hanami was. The girl knows the trees are most likely done blooming, but she didn't want to head toward the lake. Once at her final destination she'll observe the trees a bit before writing in her journal.]

To those of you in the draft, how are you holding up?

[Filtered to Raine: 75%]
Miss Raine? I'd like to take some healing lessons, if you would be so kind as to teach me. And maybe learn a bit more about magicless medical techniques if you know about that, too.

Hey Luceti, what would be a good birthday gift ideas? I'm trying to come up with something really special since the to-be birthday boy has had a bit of a rough time, and some suggestions would be extremely appreciated! [She sounds really excited. Whether it be about this, or perhaps something else may be questionable.]
[/Filter]

Ed, Al? After dinner I'll be going out for a while, so don't worry if I come back home really late.

[Later on in the evening she'll be headed over to House #10 (Haruki's house) to meet up with him. With a canvas bag slung over her shoulder, Winry knocks at the house's door.]

[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.]
