...Baby, if you're out there, Mommy will find you. Trust me. Just wait for Mommy, Elysia...

[The sounds of footfalls stop.

Gracia gives a cry of alarm and the PCD drops!

After a few moments, the sound of fumbling for the device. She sounds...out of breath, but her voice is the kind of scared confidence one puts up when you know you have to be brave ( Read more... )

family reunion, mommy is here!, where is baby?, where is daddy?

GRACIA? GRACIA! GRACIA, YOU'RE HERE!

Wait. This could be... I have to ask. Gracia, love, honey, what color are my favorite socks?

[She looks utterly shocked, hand over her mouth and eyes wide, like she's seen a ghost, and Gracia has to catch her breath for minute. She gives a quivering breath and lowers her hand slowly.]

...Honey? Is that really......? This is a dream--

[She clears her throat and wipes at her eyes with the hem of her sleeve.]

Pink. Because I threw them in the wash with my red blouse during the first month we were living together.

[Maes closes his eyes. He just got his dream to come true.]

Gracia. Oh my love. It's not a dream. This place, this city, pulls people from different places and times. I'm here, and our baby is here.

[Gently he touches the screen.]

It's you. I can't... I get to see you again. I need you to follow a specific set of instructions with the buttons, please.

[Private//Unhackable to Gracia]
[Quickly Maes instructs her on making a message private.]

Now push the button on the side of the device, and it will tell me where you are. Then head west, so you're not staying at those coordinates, all right? Daddy will be with Mommy very soon.

[She smiles tearfully and touches the screen where his fingertips rest.]

Our little Elysia's here, too? ...So we're all together again. [A soft, happy sigh and then she nods at the serious instructions.]

O-of course.

[She does as told and...voila!]

[Private//Unhackable to Maes]

[Pushes the button on the side.]

Did they go through? [She nods again, though is unsure what to make of the instruction to move (you stay put when lost, don't you?), and is already beginning on the trek westward.] Is there anything I should be careful of, in particular? Other than the buildings falling?

[Then, after a moment and a bit overcome, she sniffles, smiles and says softly...]

...I've missed you, so much.

[Still recovering from her Maes surprise, she smiles faintly at the fairly familiar face.] Yes. ...Lieutenant Hawkeye? Is that you?

[Smiles gently. She knows how suddenly appearing in this world can shake a person.]

Yes, it's me. But for safety reasons, may I quickly ask how we met?

[Especially if you reunite with your late-husband!]

Safety reasons? Alright. I understand.

Um...let me see... I think... I believe Maes introduced you to me once when I brought him lunch. I... [She smiles a little with embarrassment] I think I asked if you were the Colonel's girlfriend.

Gracia...Hughes?

Maes and Elysia will both be very happy to see you here, I think.

[She smiles and is very polite.]

And I will be happy to see them.

How do you know my husband and daughter, though...if you don't mind me asking?

motherofalchemy July 7 2009, 04:04:32 UTC
Oh! I'm sorry. I should introduce myself, shouldn't I?

My name is Trisha Elric.

My boys, Edward and Alphonse, introduced me to him when he arrived here. And your daughter arrived here a few months ago.

motherlygrace July 7 2009, 04:23:06 UTC
You are...? Oh, of course. Maes said something about different times.

Your sons are absolutely wonderful boys, Mrs. Elric. They have always been so polite and kind to me and my family. I hope they are both well here. I'm sure they're glad to have you with them again.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

Hello?

Hey there, ma'm. I'm a friend of Maes, don't worry.

[She's heard about Envy now, so she'll worry, but she's sweet anyway.]

May I ask your name?

Miss Gracia?

[He looks so, so confused. Miss Gracia doesn't have a daughter... And her last name isn't Hughes... She must be from another time or world, then, like Edward.]

Miss Gracia, are you okay?

Reply

[Video] motherlygrace July 7 2009, 04:26:35 UTC
Yes?

[She is visibly confused. He looks like an Elric knock-off...um, I mean cousin. But that accent is strange.]

I am fine. Who may I ask who I am speaking to? You look an awful lot like Edward and Alphonse. Are you related to the Elrics?

Reply

[Video] Please, he prefers the term 'bootleg Elric'. XD blau_rakete July 7 2009, 04:33:19 UTC
Ah, that ist gut, if you are vell!

[Have a little smile.]

I am Alfons Heiderich. A little... confusing, ja, if you know Al. You can call me Heiderich if you like, Miss Gracia.

I am not related to the Elrics, but I am friends vith them, und am living vith them right now as vell.

[Video] Oh, alright, clone <3 motherlygrace July 7 2009, 04:47:23 UTC
Thank you.

[Such a nice smile it is, too!]

It's not the first time someone has shared a name, Alfons. I'm sure we can find a way to not confuse you two! If you are more comfortable with being referred to by your last name, I can call you by that, or you could even be Alfons H., like they do in primary school.

Oh? That sounds lovely. I hope you are all getting along well!
