[So ends probably the worst week in Maes Hughes' life.

Good riddance, you shit communist town.

He wakes up with a start in a familiar bed, frowning at his familiar drone wife. And then it hits him. He's back in Mayfield. He was just watching that television broadcast with Grady and that damned Russian... and now--Winry and the others! Alphonse and ( Read more... )

Of course I am. Are you looking for my father, mister? Who may I say is calling?

best_papa_evar July 10 2010, 17:05:30 UTC

...

[Oh... droned--like Sideswipe. What could it mean?]

Fran, dear, are you all right? You're not missing any limbs, are you? I hear a horrible rumor that you did! Surely they must be crazy exaggerations.

relaxiamadoctor July 10 2010, 17:27:32 UTC

No, I'm fine. I'm feeling spritly and wonderful today, in fact. Who is spreading such horrid rumors?

best_papa_evar July 11 2010, 04:40:06 UTC

I'm not too sure who spread them--you know those wives, they get so restless, they can't help but flap their gums from time to time.

glowing_science July 10 2010, 18:03:28 UTC

Sounds like the men in charge took the town back. I have to say, I've never been so glad to see Grady.

I'm all right. Are you?

best_papa_evar July 11 2010, 04:39:22 UTC

I've been... better, but I definitely know I'm better than when I was in that hellhole. You came back without any problems, then?

glowing_science July 11 2010, 04:42:01 UTC

Exactly.

I'm still in one piece, although my drone son is still missing one of his arms. How about you--do you have your hand back?

best_papa_evar July 11 2010, 04:47:58 UTC

I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as your son, then. I'm not too worried about it--I can definitely make due with what I've got.

Hughes? It's Kallen. I'm all right.

best_papa_evar July 11 2010, 04:35:08 UTC

[A sigh of relief.]

I'm sorry, Kallen... I take responsibility for what happened... I should have thought more clearly about what their consequences could have been. It was my fault.

Are... Is your hand back?

radiant_will July 11 2010, 06:23:18 UTC

It wasn't your fault at all--it was the Soviets being evil and unreasonable, not you. You have to know that!

…But my hand is better. What about yours?

best_papa_evar July 11 2010, 06:47:02 UTC

I'm afraid they haven't returned mine, but I'll be fine. As long as we're all still alive, I'm plenty content.

I'm intact.

best_papa_evar July 12 2010, 20:03:30 UTC

Good... Hear from anyone else yet?

wristsniper July 12 2010, 20:05:23 UTC

Hawkeye is fine. Eirin is droned. Jecht is fine. Jolt is fine, Sideswipe is droned. I haven't heard from a few people yet.

[There's a slight drop in tone at the end of that. She's just realized who she hasn't heard from. Damn it.]

best_papa_evar July 12 2010, 20:08:22 UTC

Thanks for the info--I'm glad to here some of them are okay. I think the dronings may very well be a good thing--some people who were hurt have been droned, and they're all better afterward...

Everything's okay from your side, Major General?
