[Riza turns on her PCD to make an announcement...

...only to be interrupted right away by three dogs all vying for her attention.  At the same time.  Black Hayate and Dakota manage to get on either side of her on the couch while Sirius (in dog form) pants happily in front of her.  This would be okay if they were sitting still, but as luck would have ( Read more... )

[It all happens too quickly.

The PCD turns on by itself (or is it because the piece of dark cloth normally covering it has been pulled away?) and falls to the floor at just the right angle to show not only Black Hayate and Dakota wrestling amongst themselves, but also Riza.

Who just so happens to be changing out of her pajamas and into a shirt for ( Read more... )

[Riza's PCD has a funny tendency to turn on by itself recently.  But this time, she's not drowning her woes in empty bottles or pretending to be fine when she's obviously not.  No, this time the scene is playing out in the park and she throws a stick, both of her dogs racing to retrieve it.  She waits for them, smiling as she watches the animals ( Read more... )

[The PCD turns on to show a hand pulling away from it.  Soon, it can be seen that that hand belongs to Riza as she moves to stand in front of the cabinets in the kitchen of the House of Love and Pictures.  Even though her back is to the feed, it's obvious she's unsure about something.  Her hands clench and unclench at her sides and she rocks back ( Read more... )

[At first, the post is quiet, the sounds of Adstring at night evident on the feed, but as one listens longer, heavy breathing can be distinguished, as if from a distance, intermixed with some moaning and a shuffling of feet.  Next, a louder sound of metal sliding on metal, followed by a click, is heard, and anyone who knows firearms will ( Read more... )

[This month just keeps getting better and better.  Riza had hated to leave Negi during such a horrible time, but this new city suddenly emerging in the Wastes demands her attention.  She's made her way to the top of one section of the Great Wall, separating the Safezone from the Wastes, and has her rifle slung across her back, the barrel of the ( Read more... )

[Riza's voice is quieter than usual and she falls back to relying on an audio post.  She doesn't really want to be seen right now, but she knows that everyone needs to know what has happened.]

I have already told some of you this, or you have found out already, I'm sure, but Roy Mustang has returned to Amestris.

[The Meeting Hall is relatively quiet - there are still leftover decorations from the wedding, a month before. From offscreen, but across the room, two familiar figures enter the scene. They were also here a month before. Actually, things don’t seem so different.

Holding Riza close against him with one hand around her waist, the other leads her ( Read more... )

[Riza's PCD turns on to show...nothing of real interest.  She's in the kitchen preparing dinner, cutting up an onion.  Everything seems normal.

And then the knife slips just enough to cut her finger.

She hisses and pulls her hand away before any blood can get on the food, but as she looks at her finger, the blood pooling around the cut, she tenses up ( Read more... )
