Summary: T!Ed has some friends over in C!Envy’s absence and they play some poker.
IC!Alfons: ::heads up to the door of Ed's new apartment, knocking lightly on the door::
T!Ed: *heads out of the kitchen from where he was making tea and answers the door* Hey, Alfons. *grins*
L!Winry: *frowns as she hears Alfons' name* Damn. I was hoping that girl would show up first.
IC!Alfons: ::smiles at him:: Hallo, Edward. ::peeks inside:: This apartment really is big...
T!Ed: You don't have a snowball's chance in hell at getting into her pants, you know.
T!Ed: Isn't it? *steps back to let him in* I think it's really nice~
L!Winry: ...I know, but a girl is better company than you two.
IC!Alfons: ::steps inside and looks around a little, nodding, then offers Weasel a small smile:: Hallo...
L!Winry: *eyes Alfons in return* Hey, Choir Boy.
T!Ed: Three. You're forgetting Mr. Canoodle. *smirks, closing the door after Alfons*
L!Winry: Two and a half, at the most, given Mr. Canoodle's size.
IC!Alfons: ... ::not going to ask::
T!Ed: Just because he's a midget... *cracks up*
L!Winry: He's way smaller than a midget, Ducky
IC!Alfons: ...Ahm. May I look around a bit, Edward?
OOC!Psiren: *arrives, holding a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies, knocks on the door hesitantly*
T!Ed: Yeah, of course, Alfons! Kitchen is upstairs and the balcony is down the hall. There's a bathroom on either floor, too.
L!Winry: *heads for the door and smirks as she opens it* Why, hello there.
T!Ed: ...Oh crap, the tea. *scurries upstairs to take the kettle off the stove when he hears it whisle*
IC!Alfons: Ah, danke. ::is about to walk off to explore, then turns as the door opens and waves to Clara::
OOC!Psiren: *blinks, smiling nervously* Ah... hello.... I take it you must be... err, Weasel?
OOC!Psiren: *grins at Alfons and waves back*
L!Winry: Yep, that'd be me. You're Clara right?
IC!Alfons: ::sets off on a search for Katrinelje, while checking out the apartment::
T!Ed: *fills up four tea cups and brings them downstairs on a tray into the living room before heading back towards the door with everyone else*
OOC!Psiren: Ah, yes, that's right. Clara Smith. It's nice to meet you. *steps into the apartment, looking around*
L!Winry: Like wise. *glances at Ducky* You poured me some tea, didn't you?
OOC!Psiren: *spots Ed* Hey, Edward. I brought you those cookies I promised. *smiles*
T!Ed: Yeah, is that a problem? *turns to Clara, smiling back* Thanks! They smell wonderful~
L!Winry: Uh, yeah. Because you should know I hate tea.
OOC!Psiren: Just took them out of the oven. Where should I put this plate?
T!Ed: Then make yourself something else? *raises his eyebrows*
T!Ed: Ah, right in here... *ushers her off to the living room where the tea is*
L!Winry: I'm the guest, you're the one who should be making me something to drink!
T!Ed: ...You're more like a parasite than a guest.
OOC!Psiren: *follows Edward, looking around* You've got a really nice place here, Edward.
IC!Alfons: ::not finding Kat on the lower floor, heads upstairs, and spots her in the hallway; goes to pick her up, smiling::
L!Winry: *snorts* You are such an asshole, you know that?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns at the swearing*
T!Ed: Thanks. I really lucked out in getting it. Not a lot of these places are vacant. *grins*
T!Ed: Yeah, I know~
IC!Alfons: ::returns downstairs with Kat in his arms, finding everyone else again:: The apartment looks very nice, Edward. You are lucky.
OOC!Psiren: *sets her cookies down near the tea* Oh! It's Katrinelje! *goes over to say hello to the kitty~*
T!Ed: *smiles and scratches Kat behind the ears when Alfons comes back down* Thanks~
L!Winry: *stays away from the cat, eyeing it a little ways away*
OOC!Psiren: *waits until Edward moves to take her turn to scritch the kitty, grinning*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles and pets Kat, hugging her:: She is popular today. ::laughs a little::
T!Ed: *grins at Weasel and moves to go sit down on the couch*
L!Winry: *sits down next to Ducky* ...I don't see what's so fascinating about a cat.
T!Ed: Because my little baby is absolutely the most adorable cat in existence, maybe?
IC!Alfons: Fascinating is not quite the right word... I just missed her, that is all. ::sets her down as she starts to squirm, and brushes cat hair off his shirt::
OOC!Psiren: Well, of course. She's so cute!
L!Winry: ...She's not that adorable.
IC!Alfons: Ja she is. ::grins::
L!Winry: Shut up, Choir Boy.
OOC!Psiren: *frowns*
T!Ed: Yes she is. She's more adorable than yours.
IC!Alfons: ::frowns:: Bitte, you could try and be a bit more courteous.
L!Winry: *attempts to whack the back of Ducky's head*
T!Ed: Ow! *clutches the back of his head and scowls*
L!Winry: That's what you get for being stupid.
IC!Alfons: ::finds a chair to take a seat in, and picks up a cup of tea::
OOC!Psiren: *frowns questioningly at Alfons*
IC!Alfons: ::shrugs a little at Clara, not quite sure what to do::
L!Winry: So... Is there anything in particular you guys want to do?
T!Ed: *gestures towards an empty chari for Clara* That's probably the best seat. Farthest away from the wench. *grins*
T!Ed: Anything is fine, I suppose. *shrugs*
L!Winry: Oh, please. You're worse than me.
IC!Alfons: ::sips at his tea:: I suppose I do not really have any ideas at the moment...
T!Ed: Then why are you sitting next to me if I'm worse?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles nervously at Edward and sits*
L!Winry: So I can keep you in line, of course.
L!Winry: And if you guys don't have any ideas, we could play my favorite card game... *smirk*
OOC!Psiren: *fidgets for a little, and then pours herself a cup of tea*
T!Ed: ...You think that would be wise? *glances at Alfons and Clara*
L!Winry: I don't see why it wouldn't be. It's a fun game!
IC!Alfons: ...And may I ask what this game is?
L!Winry: *big grin* Strip poker, of course!
T!Ed: *bites his lip, trying not to laugh*
IC!Alfons: ...Oh, right, how could I forget.
L!Winry: Are you going to play this time instead of being a pansy?
OOC!Psiren: *blushes furiously* Um....
OOC!Psiren: I'd... I'd really rather not....
L!Winry: Aww... How come?
OOC!Psiren: .......
OOC!Psiren: ........Because.....
IC!Alfons: ...Could we try and think of something else to do? ::sips at his tea and looks pleadingly at Ed::
OOC!Psiren: ...It's indecent.... *very bright red*
L!Winry: *frowns* The game isn't that bad.
IC!Alfons: If you win, maybe not, but...
T!Ed: *gives both Clara and Alfons an apologetic look* What about regular poker..?
L!Winry: Regular poker pales in comparison to strip poker.
OOC!Psiren: ...I suppose... if someone teaches me how to play....
IC!Alfons: ::blinks at Clara, then sighs:: ...Alright, I will play, fine.
OOC!Psiren: ...I've never been much of one for cards, but I'm willing to try. Just... let's... keep the clothes on? Please? *blushing*
L!Winry: There's no fun in it if the clothes stay on, though...
T!Ed: ...Well... We could probably play one round regular poker and then another that's strip poker..?
IC!Alfons: Sure, I suppose... A bit of a compromise, I guess...
OOC!Psiren: ...I am not playing strip poker.
T!Ed: ...You're actually willing to play strip poker? *blinks at Alfons*
L!Winry: Poker's only fun when there's at least four people.
IC!Alfons: ...Not entirely willing, but I may as well give it a try, I think. Just so long as I am allowed to stop playing if things get too uncomfortable for my tastes?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns* Well, fine. Let's play poker. But I have no desire for there to be any nudity involved.
L!Winry: *shakes her head as she pulls a deck of cards out of her pocket* You guys are no fun at all.
T!Ed: Yeah, that's fine. And um, for the second round, when nudity is involved, you could always sit in the other room, Clara..?
OOC!Psiren: *sighs, sort of disgruntled* Yeah, fine... I’ll play with Katrinelje or something....
T!Ed: Sorry... *frowns slightly*
L!Winry: *starts shuffling* Did you want me or Ducky to explain the rules to you?
OOC!Psiren: No, no, it's fine... sorry I'm not very much fun. *sighs, sipping at her tea*
OOC!Psiren: Yes, please... I've never played poker, I have absolutely no idea....
IC!Alfons: ::finishes off his tea and sets the cup down, waiting patiently::
T!Ed: You can do it, Weasel. You have the cards. *leans back, taking his tea cup and having a sip*
L!Winry: Okay, let's start with the basics... *lays out a few hands face up on the table and explains the rules*
T!Ed: *listens in anyway despite already knowing this, finishing his tea*
IC!Alfons: ::pays attention because he plays so rarely::
OOC!Psiren: *paying rapt attention, is already confused*
L!Winry: ...Got it?
T!Ed: Got it!
OOC!Psiren: ...Can someone write down the hands? Like, in the order of... what's better than what?
OOC!Psiren: *sooo confused*
L!Winry: Ducky, get me a piece of paper and a pencil.
T!Ed: Yeah, sure... *disappears into the other room and returns with the items*
L!Winry: *jots down the hands and gives the list to Clara* There you go. Ready?
OOC!Psiren: ...Sorry...
OOC!Psiren: Ah, thank you.
OOC!Psiren: Um... I guess so, sure! *smiles*
L!Winry: *winks* No problem. *reshuffles the deck a few times and sets it on the table* Cut it for me, Ducky?
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little at Clara:: You will get the hang of it.
T!Ed: *takes the deck and cuts it for her* Want me to deal too?
L!Winry: Hell no. That's my job.
OOC!Psiren: *smiles back at Alfons, studying the list of hands*
T!Ed: Suuure. *backs away from the deck*
L!Winry: We're going to play five card draw. *quickly deals five cards out, grinning* And so it begins.
--- Poker playing! ---
T!Ed: *snorts and flops his cards on the coffee table* You stacked the deck, didn't you?
L!Winry: No~ It's all talent.
T!Ed: No, it's cheating~
L!Winry: Don't be a sore loser, Ducky.
OOC!Psiren: Oh, I'm sure she wouldn't do something like that, Edward.
T!Ed: ...Yes she would.
L!Winry: Yeah, Edward. I let you cut the deck and everything.
T!Ed: *grumbles* You so planned it.
L!Winry: Don't be so silly.
OOC!Psiren: Well... hey, it was fun, right? At least, I had fun....
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little and shrugs:: I never win, anyway, so I guess I am not complaining.
IC!Alfons: Ja, it was fun.
OOC!Psiren: And I didn't lose as badly as I thought I might, either! *chuckles*
L!Winry: Poker's always fun. It's better when it's strip, though.
T!Ed: Yeah, it was fun...
IC!Alfons: You and your fascination with humiliating others...
L!Winry: Don't knock it till you've tried it, Choir Boy.
IC!Alfons: At least I did say I would play this time.
L!Winry: *snickers* I know.
T!Ed: So are we going to play the next round or not?
IC!Alfons: Ja, I guess...
OOC!Psiren: ...I guess that's my cue to be elsewhere.... *laughs a little*
L!Winry: Of course we are. *collects the cards and shuffles* You don't have to go, you know~
OOC!Psiren: ...I really rather would....
L!Winry: Aww, fine. Guess we'll be seeing you later, then.
T!Ed: There are some books and things in the study if you'd like to read while you waited.
OOC!Psiren: *stands up, grabbing a cookie* Is it okay if I wander around a bit, Edward?
OOC!Psiren: Oh, thank you... I might do that.
OOC!Psiren: I'll see if I can find Katrinelje, too.
T!Ed: Yeah, that's no problem at all!
IC!Alfons: ::smiles:: She would love the attention.
L!Winry: Have fun with that.
OOC!Psiren: Okay... um... give me a shout or something when you guys are done....
IC!Alfons: Ja, alright.
OOC!Psiren: *wanders off someplace less imminently naked*
L!Winry: *sets the cards down* Want to cut the deck this time, Choir Boy?
IC!Alfons: Ahm, okay... ::cuts the deck for her::
L!Winry: This is gonna be great. *takes the cards and deals*
T!Ed: *buttons up the top few buttons of his shirt* You are so not going to win this time~
L!Winry: Oh yes I am~
IC!Alfons: ::shakes his head, smiling a little::
OOC!Psiren: *wanders around, admiring the nice apartment*
--- Towards the end of the game! ---
IC!Alfons: ::is kind of blatantly staring at T!Ed's chest, blushing::
T!Ed: *down to his boxers and just lost this round* ...
L!Winry: *shakes her head at Alfons' blushing*
OOC!Psiren: *is sitting in a corner of the study with a kitten in her lap, actually quite enjoying herself*
IC!Alfons: ...I, ah... ::flushes:: I think I am going to have to step out.... ::stands quickly::
L!Winry: Such a pansy.
T!Ed: Already? *blinks, getting ready to pull his boxers off*
IC!Alfons: ::is down to his boxers by now as well, oh noes::
L!Winry: *is merely shirtless*
IC!Alfons: ...Ja, sorry, ahm... ::rather red::
T!Ed: Well, alright. *shrugs and starts wriggling out of his boxers*
IC!Alfons: ::blinks and zips off to the bathroom::
T!Ed: *is now naked* You suck, Weasel.
OOC!Psiren: *awwwwwwwww, cute kitty~*
L!Winry: *laughs* Whatever you and Mr. Canoodle say, Ducky~
T!Ed: Oh, ha ha ha. *sticks his tongue out* Suppose I should go tell Clara we're done now...
L!Winry: Might want to put your clothes back on first, you know.
T!Ed: ...Oh. Yeah. *grabs his pants and pulls them back on, then throws on his shirt while heading off to look for her* Clara?
L!Winry: *tempted to keep her shirt off, but puts it back on anyway*
OOC!Psiren: *hears Ed calling* I'm in the study!
IC!Alfons: ::emerges from the bathroom a few minutes later, still flushed, and peeks out down the hallway::
T!Ed: Just thougt I'd let you know the game is done!
L!Winry: *spots Alfons* It's safe now, Choir Boy.
IC!Alfons: Ah... ahm, right...
OOC!Psiren: *stands up, holding Kat, poking her head out of the study door* Oh, okay. Is it safe now? *laughs a little*
T!Ed: *heads back down the hall and spots Alfons* You alright? *grins*
T!Ed: Yup~ We're probably going to wrap it up now, I think...
IC!Alfons: ::blushes more again:: ...Ja. Just fine.
T!Ed: Thought so. *smiles brightly*
IC!Alfons: ::goes to put his pants back on::
L!Winry: Did you actually enjoy yourself?
IC!Alfons: .......
IC!Alfons: Ahm, it was fine, ja. ::buttons pants, puts on shirt::
L!Winry: You know you liked seeing me and Ducky without our shirts on~
OOC!Psiren: *wanders back towards the living room, nervously*
OOC!Psiren: *is very relieved to see clothing*
T!Ed: *heads into the study as Clara leaves and takes an envelope off the desk, then goes back into the living room*
OOC!Psiren: So... have fun everyone?
L!Winry: Sure did.
T!Ed: Of course~
IC!Alfons: ::is in fact a little disappointed Ed already put his shirt back on::
OOC!Psiren: ...Great. *puts Kat down*
T!Ed: *stretches, yawning a little*
IC!Alfons: ::finishes buttoning up his shirt, and looks over at Kat::
L!Winry: We'll have to do it again real soon.
IC!Alfons: Sure... Right.
OOC!Psiren: *laughs a little, grabbing another cookie*
T!Ed: I wouldn't mind if we did~
IC!Alfons: ::blushes again and reaches for a cookie::
L!Winry: I hardly have anyone back in Risembool to play it with...
T!Ed: You could play with Granny and the paper boy.
L!Winry: ...I'd rather shoot myself.
T!Ed: I wouldn't blame you.
L!Winry: *shudders* No one could.
OOC!Psiren: *clears her throat* Um, sorry to shoot off so soon, but I really ought to get back and start making dinner....
T!Ed: Already? *pouts*
L!Winry: All right. Come visit me again before I have to leave? *winks at her*
IC!Alfons: Oh, ahm, alright then. ::smiles a little at her:: Have a nice night, Clara.
OOC!Psiren: Yeah... I'm sorry...
T!Ed: That's alright. *grins* I'm glad that you could stop by, though.
OOC!Psiren: *blinks at Weasel* Um... maybe I will visit again... when do you leave?
L!Winry: ...I'm not sure yet, really. I'll let you know when I find out though, okay?
OOC!Psiren: All right. Well, I guess, goodbye everyone. It was fun.
L!Winry: Glad you had fun. Hope to see you again real soon!
IC!Alfons: ::waves:: Tschau, Clara.
OOC!Psiren: *makes for the door, waving at everyone, leaves*
T!Ed: *moves to get the door for her* You're welcome to stop back anytime, you know.
L!Winry: *nods approvingly* She's nice.
T!Ed: She really is. *nods, then glances between Weasel and Alfons for a moment*
IC!Alfons: Ja, she is. I am surprised you like her, actually.
IC!Alfons: ::looks over at Ed curiously::
L!Winry: She's way better than you, Choir Boy.
T!Ed: *smiles at Alfons* I just wanted to talk to you before you left, that's all.
IC!Alfons: How so? She and I are very similar...
T!Ed: And Choir Boy is better than you, Weasel.
IC!Alfons: Ah... Alright.
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little::
L!Winry: ...You did not just say that, Ducky. *glares*
T!Ed: I think I did~
IC!Alfons: ::chuckles:: Danke, Edward.
L!Winry: You've got a five second head start before I strangle you.
T!Ed: *takes a step back* I could go make you stay down at the inn with Granny, you know.
L!Winry: I'll just send Granny here and tell her her paper boy moved.
T!Ed: Ha. Yeah, right.
L!Winry: You know she'd believe it.
IC!Alfons: ::sighs and has another cookie::
T!Ed: She would. *shudders*
L!Winry: So I suggest you don't send me there. Or else I'll send her here and go back to Risembool by myself.
T!Ed: *rolls his eyes and flops over onto the couch, not wanting to argue anymore*
L!Winry: *glares and sits away from him*
IC!Alfons: ::rolls his eyes a little at the both of them, smiling and shaking his head::
T!Ed: *yawns and stretches, blinking a bit blearily*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles softly at Ed:: Are you worn out from the game, Edward? ::chuckles a little::
L!Winry: I think I'll go read. My books are way more interesting than you two.
T!Ed: A little, I guess. *laughs* And alright.
L!Winry: Go take a nap, Ducky. And Choir Boy? Don't come back any time soon, okay?
IC!Alfons: I will come back whenever I please, danke.
L!Winry: *snorts* Not as long as I'm here.
IC!Alfons: If you hate me so much, you are welcome to go read. ::sips tea::
L!Winry: You're just as welcome to go home.
T!Ed: ...Could you guys not fight?
IC!Alfons: Right, sorry. ::shrugs::
L!Winry: ...No?
T!Ed: *rolls his eyes* Just go read?
L!Winry: Maybe I will. After you go take a nap.
T!Ed: After I talk to Alfons.
IC!Alfons: Edward, if you wanted to talk to me, we can always go somewhere else and just let her stay here...
IC!Alfons: We could just go upstairs or something...
L!Winry: Anything you have to say to Choir Boy you can say in front of me, can't you?
T!Ed: No. I can't. *snorts and stands up*
L!Winry: *stands up, too* Why not?
T!Ed: Because it's none of your business?
L!Winry: So what?
T!Ed: So go away?
IC!Alfons: ::frowns a little and stands as well, heading down the hallway:: Come on, Edward, leave her alone for now.
T!Ed: *follows after Alfons, glaring at Weasel*
L!Winry: You guys are a bunch of fuckin' assholes. *angrily stomps upstairs*
IC!Alfons: ::sighs and spots the study, heading into it:: How about here...?
T!Ed: *steps inside and shakes his head, listening to make sure she's gone* Anyway... I had something I wanted to give you.
IC!Alfons: Oh?
T!Ed: *takes the letter out of his pocket and hands out for him to take* Read it when you get home, alright?
IC!Alfons: ::blinks and takes it from him, then sticks it in his pocket, nodding:: Alright... ::frowns a little:: Did you... ahm...
IC!Alfons: ::sighs:: There is something that was in my room that went missing after we went on our picnic... Did you happen to take it...? ::worried::
T!Ed: *fidgets a little* It was on the nightstand. My, um, letter explains it, but it's alright. *smiles slightly*
IC!Alfons: ...Alright. ::sighs:: Sorry. Ahm... I... I did not mean for you to read it... But... Maybe it is okay...
T!Ed: It's fine. *reaches up to mess his hair a bit* Like I said, read that when you get home.
IC!Alfons: ::nods and leans his head against his hand a little:: I will. Danke.
T!Ed: No problem~ *grins* I guess I should go take that nap now...
IC!Alfons: ::frowns slightly:: Have you not been sleeping either...?
T!Ed: Yeah, but for a bunch of different reasons. *shrugs*
IC!Alfons: Oh... I am sorry to hear it. ::sighs:: I hope things get better soon for you... And, ja, take your nap.
T!Ed: Things'll be fine in a few days. And you take care of yourself too. I don't want to hear that you've been drinking again. *mock stern look*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little:: Danke, mother. ::shoves his shoulder gently::
T!Ed: *sticks his tongue out and puts on a squawking voice* If I hear that you have, young man, you'll be grounded!
IC!Alfons: ::laughs:: It would be amusing to see you try that, really.
T!Ed: Don't make me.. You'd be amazed at what I can do. *nods sagely*
IC!Alfons: ::grins:: Oh, I believe you.
T!Ed: Good~ Shall I walk you to the door now, sonny boy?
IC!Alfons: ::chuckles and steps out of the study:: I do not know, I may need some help getting to the big scary door all on my own.
T!Ed: Then I think it's time for the buddy system! *puffs up and reaches to take his hand*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles and squeezes his hand when he takes it:: What ever would we do without the buddy system, indeed?
T!Ed: *squeezes back* Get eaten by the door, most likely. *marches towards the door with a brave swagger*
IC!Alfons: Mm, possibly. Or get horribly lost in the hallway. That would be tragic. ::swings their arms a little::
T!Ed: Oh, very much so. *stops when he gets to the door and gives it a small kick* ...It's dead now.
IC!Alfons: My hero. ::grins, then lets go of his hand to give him a quick hug:: Do you want me to come back over any time soon?
T!Ed: *hugs back* Tomorrow I'm hanging out with your double, but anytime after that is fine~
IC!Alfons: Alright, then how about I give you a call. ::smiles::
T!Ed: That sounds fine with me. *grins* I look forward to seeing you again.
IC!Alfons: ::nods:: As do I. ::opens the door, smiling softly:: Get some rest, now.
T!Ed: I will. See you! *waves, smiling back*
IC!Alfons: ::waves:: Tschau! ::steps outside and heads back home::

Category: Misc Happenings
Summary: T!Ed has some friends over in C!Envy’s absence and they play some poker.
IC!Alfons: ::heads up to the door of Ed's new apartment, knocking lightly on the door::
T!Ed: *heads out of the kitchen from where he was making tea and answers the door* Hey, Alfons. *grins*
L!Winry: *frowns as she hears Alfons' name* Damn. I was hoping that girl would show up first.
IC!Alfons: ::smiles at him:: Hallo, Edward. ::peeks inside:: This apartment really is big...
T!Ed: You don't have a snowball's chance in hell at getting into her pants, you know.
T!Ed: Isn't it? *steps back to let him in* I think it's really nice~
L!Winry: ...I know, but a girl is better company than you two.
IC!Alfons: ::steps inside and looks around a little, nodding, then offers Weasel a small smile:: Hallo...
L!Winry: *eyes Alfons in return* Hey, Choir Boy.
T!Ed: Three. You're forgetting Mr. Canoodle. *smirks, closing the door after Alfons*
L!Winry: Two and a half, at the most, given Mr. Canoodle's size.
IC!Alfons: ... ::not going to ask::
T!Ed: Just because he's a midget... *cracks up*
L!Winry: He's way smaller than a midget, Ducky
IC!Alfons: ...Ahm. May I look around a bit, Edward?
OOC!Psiren: *arrives, holding a plate of oatmeal raisin cookies, knocks on the door hesitantly*
T!Ed: Yeah, of course, Alfons! Kitchen is upstairs and the balcony is down the hall. There's a bathroom on either floor, too.
L!Winry: *heads for the door and smirks as she opens it* Why, hello there.
T!Ed: ...Oh crap, the tea. *scurries upstairs to take the kettle off the stove when he hears it whisle*
IC!Alfons: Ah, danke. ::is about to walk off to explore, then turns as the door opens and waves to Clara::
OOC!Psiren: *blinks, smiling nervously* Ah... hello.... I take it you must be... err, Weasel?
OOC!Psiren: *grins at Alfons and waves back*
L!Winry: Yep, that'd be me. You're Clara right?
IC!Alfons: ::sets off on a search for Katrinelje, while checking out the apartment::
T!Ed: *fills up four tea cups and brings them downstairs on a tray into the living room before heading back towards the door with everyone else*
OOC!Psiren: Ah, yes, that's right. Clara Smith. It's nice to meet you. *steps into the apartment, looking around*
L!Winry: Like wise. *glances at Ducky* You poured me some tea, didn't you?
OOC!Psiren: *spots Ed* Hey, Edward. I brought you those cookies I promised. *smiles*
T!Ed: Yeah, is that a problem? *turns to Clara, smiling back* Thanks! They smell wonderful~
L!Winry: Uh, yeah. Because you should know I hate tea.
OOC!Psiren: Just took them out of the oven. Where should I put this plate?
T!Ed: Then make yourself something else? *raises his eyebrows*
T!Ed: Ah, right in here... *ushers her off to the living room where the tea is*
L!Winry: I'm the guest, you're the one who should be making me something to drink!
T!Ed: ...You're more like a parasite than a guest.
OOC!Psiren: *follows Edward, looking around* You've got a really nice place here, Edward.
IC!Alfons: ::not finding Kat on the lower floor, heads upstairs, and spots her in the hallway; goes to pick her up, smiling::
L!Winry: *snorts* You are such an asshole, you know that?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns at the swearing*
T!Ed: Thanks. I really lucked out in getting it. Not a lot of these places are vacant. *grins*
T!Ed: Yeah, I know~
IC!Alfons: ::returns downstairs with Kat in his arms, finding everyone else again:: The apartment looks very nice, Edward. You are lucky.
OOC!Psiren: *sets her cookies down near the tea* Oh! It's Katrinelje! *goes over to say hello to the kitty~*
T!Ed: *smiles and scratches Kat behind the ears when Alfons comes back down* Thanks~
L!Winry: *stays away from the cat, eyeing it a little ways away*
OOC!Psiren: *waits until Edward moves to take her turn to scritch the kitty, grinning*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles and pets Kat, hugging her:: She is popular today. ::laughs a little::
T!Ed: *grins at Weasel and moves to go sit down on the couch*
L!Winry: *sits down next to Ducky* ...I don't see what's so fascinating about a cat.
T!Ed: Because my little baby is absolutely the most adorable cat in existence, maybe?
IC!Alfons: Fascinating is not quite the right word... I just missed her, that is all. ::sets her down as she starts to squirm, and brushes cat hair off his shirt::
OOC!Psiren: Well, of course. She's so cute!
L!Winry: ...She's not that adorable.
IC!Alfons: Ja she is. ::grins::
L!Winry: Shut up, Choir Boy.
OOC!Psiren: *frowns*
T!Ed: Yes she is. She's more adorable than yours.
IC!Alfons: ::frowns:: Bitte, you could try and be a bit more courteous.
L!Winry: *attempts to whack the back of Ducky's head*
T!Ed: Ow! *clutches the back of his head and scowls*
L!Winry: That's what you get for being stupid.
IC!Alfons: ::finds a chair to take a seat in, and picks up a cup of tea::
OOC!Psiren: *frowns questioningly at Alfons*
IC!Alfons: ::shrugs a little at Clara, not quite sure what to do::
L!Winry: So... Is there anything in particular you guys want to do?
T!Ed: *gestures towards an empty chari for Clara* That's probably the best seat. Farthest away from the wench. *grins*
T!Ed: Anything is fine, I suppose. *shrugs*
L!Winry: Oh, please. You're worse than me.
IC!Alfons: ::sips at his tea:: I suppose I do not really have any ideas at the moment...
T!Ed: Then why are you sitting next to me if I'm worse?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles nervously at Edward and sits*
L!Winry: So I can keep you in line, of course.
L!Winry: And if you guys don't have any ideas, we could play my favorite card game... *smirk*
OOC!Psiren: *fidgets for a little, and then pours herself a cup of tea*
T!Ed: ...You think that would be wise? *glances at Alfons and Clara*
L!Winry: I don't see why it wouldn't be. It's a fun game!
IC!Alfons: ...And may I ask what this game is?
L!Winry: *big grin* Strip poker, of course!
T!Ed: *bites his lip, trying not to laugh*
IC!Alfons: ...Oh, right, how could I forget.
L!Winry: Are you going to play this time instead of being a pansy?
OOC!Psiren: *blushes furiously* Um....
OOC!Psiren: I'd... I'd really rather not....
L!Winry: Aww... How come?
OOC!Psiren: .......
OOC!Psiren: ........Because.....
IC!Alfons: ...Could we try and think of something else to do? ::sips at his tea and looks pleadingly at Ed::
OOC!Psiren: ...It's indecent.... *very bright red*
L!Winry: *frowns* The game isn't that bad.
IC!Alfons: If you win, maybe not, but...
T!Ed: *gives both Clara and Alfons an apologetic look* What about regular poker..?
L!Winry: Regular poker pales in comparison to strip poker.
OOC!Psiren: ...I suppose... if someone teaches me how to play....
IC!Alfons: ::blinks at Clara, then sighs:: ...Alright, I will play, fine.
OOC!Psiren: ...I've never been much of one for cards, but I'm willing to try. Just... let's... keep the clothes on? Please? *blushing*
L!Winry: There's no fun in it if the clothes stay on, though...
T!Ed: ...Well... We could probably play one round regular poker and then another that's strip poker..?
IC!Alfons: Sure, I suppose... A bit of a compromise, I guess...
OOC!Psiren: ...I am not playing strip poker.
T!Ed: ...You're actually willing to play strip poker? *blinks at Alfons*
L!Winry: Poker's only fun when there's at least four people.
IC!Alfons: ...Not entirely willing, but I may as well give it a try, I think. Just so long as I am allowed to stop playing if things get too uncomfortable for my tastes?
OOC!Psiren: *frowns* Well, fine. Let's play poker. But I have no desire for there to be any nudity involved.
L!Winry: *shakes her head as she pulls a deck of cards out of her pocket* You guys are no fun at all.
T!Ed: Yeah, that's fine. And um, for the second round, when nudity is involved, you could always sit in the other room, Clara..?
OOC!Psiren: *sighs, sort of disgruntled* Yeah, fine... I’ll play with Katrinelje or something....
T!Ed: Sorry... *frowns slightly*
L!Winry: *starts shuffling* Did you want me or Ducky to explain the rules to you?
OOC!Psiren: No, no, it's fine... sorry I'm not very much fun. *sighs, sipping at her tea*
OOC!Psiren: Yes, please... I've never played poker, I have absolutely no idea....
IC!Alfons: ::finishes off his tea and sets the cup down, waiting patiently::
T!Ed: You can do it, Weasel. You have the cards. *leans back, taking his tea cup and having a sip*
L!Winry: Okay, let's start with the basics... *lays out a few hands face up on the table and explains the rules*
T!Ed: *listens in anyway despite already knowing this, finishing his tea*
IC!Alfons: ::pays attention because he plays so rarely::
OOC!Psiren: *paying rapt attention, is already confused*
L!Winry: ...Got it?
T!Ed: Got it!
OOC!Psiren: ...Can someone write down the hands? Like, in the order of... what's better than what?
OOC!Psiren: *sooo confused*
L!Winry: Ducky, get me a piece of paper and a pencil.
T!Ed: Yeah, sure... *disappears into the other room and returns with the items*
L!Winry: *jots down the hands and gives the list to Clara* There you go. Ready?
OOC!Psiren: ...Sorry...
OOC!Psiren: Ah, thank you.
OOC!Psiren: Um... I guess so, sure! *smiles*
L!Winry: *winks* No problem. *reshuffles the deck a few times and sets it on the table* Cut it for me, Ducky?
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little at Clara:: You will get the hang of it.
T!Ed: *takes the deck and cuts it for her* Want me to deal too?
L!Winry: Hell no. That's my job.
OOC!Psiren: *smiles back at Alfons, studying the list of hands*
T!Ed: Suuure. *backs away from the deck*
L!Winry: We're going to play five card draw. *quickly deals five cards out, grinning* And so it begins.
--- Poker playing! ---
T!Ed: *snorts and flops his cards on the coffee table* You stacked the deck, didn't you?
L!Winry: No~ It's all talent.
T!Ed: No, it's cheating~
L!Winry: Don't be a sore loser, Ducky.
OOC!Psiren: Oh, I'm sure she wouldn't do something like that, Edward.
T!Ed: ...Yes she would.
L!Winry: Yeah, Edward. I let you cut the deck and everything.
T!Ed: *grumbles* You so planned it.
L!Winry: Don't be so silly.
OOC!Psiren: Well... hey, it was fun, right? At least, I had fun....
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little and shrugs:: I never win, anyway, so I guess I am not complaining.
IC!Alfons: Ja, it was fun.
OOC!Psiren: And I didn't lose as badly as I thought I might, either! *chuckles*
L!Winry: Poker's always fun. It's better when it's strip, though.
T!Ed: Yeah, it was fun...
IC!Alfons: You and your fascination with humiliating others...
L!Winry: Don't knock it till you've tried it, Choir Boy.
IC!Alfons: At least I did say I would play this time.
L!Winry: *snickers* I know.
T!Ed: So are we going to play the next round or not?
IC!Alfons: Ja, I guess...
OOC!Psiren: ...I guess that's my cue to be elsewhere.... *laughs a little*
L!Winry: Of course we are. *collects the cards and shuffles* You don't have to go, you know~
OOC!Psiren: ...I really rather would....
L!Winry: Aww, fine. Guess we'll be seeing you later, then.
T!Ed: There are some books and things in the study if you'd like to read while you waited.
OOC!Psiren: *stands up, grabbing a cookie* Is it okay if I wander around a bit, Edward?
OOC!Psiren: Oh, thank you... I might do that.
OOC!Psiren: I'll see if I can find Katrinelje, too.
T!Ed: Yeah, that's no problem at all!
IC!Alfons: ::smiles:: She would love the attention.
L!Winry: Have fun with that.
OOC!Psiren: Okay... um... give me a shout or something when you guys are done....
IC!Alfons: Ja, alright.
OOC!Psiren: *wanders off someplace less imminently naked*
L!Winry: *sets the cards down* Want to cut the deck this time, Choir Boy?
IC!Alfons: Ahm, okay... ::cuts the deck for her::
L!Winry: This is gonna be great. *takes the cards and deals*
T!Ed: *buttons up the top few buttons of his shirt* You are so not going to win this time~
L!Winry: Oh yes I am~
IC!Alfons: ::shakes his head, smiling a little::
OOC!Psiren: *wanders around, admiring the nice apartment*
--- Towards the end of the game! ---
IC!Alfons: ::is kind of blatantly staring at T!Ed's chest, blushing::
T!Ed: *down to his boxers and just lost this round* ...
L!Winry: *shakes her head at Alfons' blushing*
OOC!Psiren: *is sitting in a corner of the study with a kitten in her lap, actually quite enjoying herself*
IC!Alfons: ...I, ah... ::flushes:: I think I am going to have to step out.... ::stands quickly::
L!Winry: Such a pansy.
T!Ed: Already? *blinks, getting ready to pull his boxers off*
IC!Alfons: ::is down to his boxers by now as well, oh noes::
L!Winry: *is merely shirtless*
IC!Alfons: ...Ja, sorry, ahm... ::rather red::
T!Ed: Well, alright. *shrugs and starts wriggling out of his boxers*
IC!Alfons: ::blinks and zips off to the bathroom::
T!Ed: *is now naked* You suck, Weasel.
OOC!Psiren: *awwwwwwwww, cute kitty~*
L!Winry: *laughs* Whatever you and Mr. Canoodle say, Ducky~
T!Ed: Oh, ha ha ha. *sticks his tongue out* Suppose I should go tell Clara we're done now...
L!Winry: Might want to put your clothes back on first, you know.
T!Ed: ...Oh. Yeah. *grabs his pants and pulls them back on, then throws on his shirt while heading off to look for her* Clara?
L!Winry: *tempted to keep her shirt off, but puts it back on anyway*
OOC!Psiren: *hears Ed calling* I'm in the study!
IC!Alfons: ::emerges from the bathroom a few minutes later, still flushed, and peeks out down the hallway::
T!Ed: Just thougt I'd let you know the game is done!
L!Winry: *spots Alfons* It's safe now, Choir Boy.
IC!Alfons: Ah... ahm, right...
OOC!Psiren: *stands up, holding Kat, poking her head out of the study door* Oh, okay. Is it safe now? *laughs a little*
T!Ed: *heads back down the hall and spots Alfons* You alright? *grins*
T!Ed: Yup~ We're probably going to wrap it up now, I think...
IC!Alfons: ::blushes more again:: ...Ja. Just fine.
T!Ed: Thought so. *smiles brightly*
IC!Alfons: ::goes to put his pants back on::
L!Winry: Did you actually enjoy yourself?
IC!Alfons: .......
IC!Alfons: Ahm, it was fine, ja. ::buttons pants, puts on shirt::
L!Winry: You know you liked seeing me and Ducky without our shirts on~
OOC!Psiren: *wanders back towards the living room, nervously*
OOC!Psiren: *is very relieved to see clothing*
T!Ed: *heads into the study as Clara leaves and takes an envelope off the desk, then goes back into the living room*
OOC!Psiren: So... have fun everyone?
L!Winry: Sure did.
T!Ed: Of course~
IC!Alfons: ::is in fact a little disappointed Ed already put his shirt back on::
OOC!Psiren: ...Great. *puts Kat down*
T!Ed: *stretches, yawning a little*
IC!Alfons: ::finishes buttoning up his shirt, and looks over at Kat::
L!Winry: We'll have to do it again real soon.
IC!Alfons: Sure... Right.
OOC!Psiren: *laughs a little, grabbing another cookie*
T!Ed: I wouldn't mind if we did~
IC!Alfons: ::blushes again and reaches for a cookie::
L!Winry: I hardly have anyone back in Risembool to play it with...
T!Ed: You could play with Granny and the paper boy.
L!Winry: ...I'd rather shoot myself.
T!Ed: I wouldn't blame you.
L!Winry: *shudders* No one could.
OOC!Psiren: *clears her throat* Um, sorry to shoot off so soon, but I really ought to get back and start making dinner....
T!Ed: Already? *pouts*
L!Winry: All right. Come visit me again before I have to leave? *winks at her*
IC!Alfons: Oh, ahm, alright then. ::smiles a little at her:: Have a nice night, Clara.
OOC!Psiren: Yeah... I'm sorry...
T!Ed: That's alright. *grins* I'm glad that you could stop by, though.
OOC!Psiren: *blinks at Weasel* Um... maybe I will visit again... when do you leave?
L!Winry: ...I'm not sure yet, really. I'll let you know when I find out though, okay?
OOC!Psiren: All right. Well, I guess, goodbye everyone. It was fun.
L!Winry: Glad you had fun. Hope to see you again real soon!
IC!Alfons: ::waves:: Tschau, Clara.
OOC!Psiren: *makes for the door, waving at everyone, leaves*
T!Ed: *moves to get the door for her* You're welcome to stop back anytime, you know.
L!Winry: *nods approvingly* She's nice.
T!Ed: She really is. *nods, then glances between Weasel and Alfons for a moment*
IC!Alfons: Ja, she is. I am surprised you like her, actually.
IC!Alfons: ::looks over at Ed curiously::
L!Winry: She's way better than you, Choir Boy.
T!Ed: *smiles at Alfons* I just wanted to talk to you before you left, that's all.
IC!Alfons: How so? She and I are very similar...
T!Ed: And Choir Boy is better than you, Weasel.
IC!Alfons: Ah... Alright.
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little::
L!Winry: ...You did not just say that, Ducky. *glares*
T!Ed: I think I did~
IC!Alfons: ::chuckles:: Danke, Edward.
L!Winry: You've got a five second head start before I strangle you.
T!Ed: *takes a step back* I could go make you stay down at the inn with Granny, you know.
L!Winry: I'll just send Granny here and tell her her paper boy moved.
T!Ed: Ha. Yeah, right.
L!Winry: You know she'd believe it.
IC!Alfons: ::sighs and has another cookie::
T!Ed: She would. *shudders*
L!Winry: So I suggest you don't send me there. Or else I'll send her here and go back to Risembool by myself.
T!Ed: *rolls his eyes and flops over onto the couch, not wanting to argue anymore*
L!Winry: *glares and sits away from him*
IC!Alfons: ::rolls his eyes a little at the both of them, smiling and shaking his head::
T!Ed: *yawns and stretches, blinking a bit blearily*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles softly at Ed:: Are you worn out from the game, Edward? ::chuckles a little::
L!Winry: I think I'll go read. My books are way more interesting than you two.
T!Ed: A little, I guess. *laughs* And alright.
L!Winry: Go take a nap, Ducky. And Choir Boy? Don't come back any time soon, okay?
IC!Alfons: I will come back whenever I please, danke.
L!Winry: *snorts* Not as long as I'm here.
IC!Alfons: If you hate me so much, you are welcome to go read. ::sips tea::
L!Winry: You're just as welcome to go home.
T!Ed: ...Could you guys not fight?
IC!Alfons: Right, sorry. ::shrugs::
L!Winry: ...No?
T!Ed: *rolls his eyes* Just go read?
L!Winry: Maybe I will. After you go take a nap.
T!Ed: After I talk to Alfons.
IC!Alfons: Edward, if you wanted to talk to me, we can always go somewhere else and just let her stay here...
IC!Alfons: We could just go upstairs or something...
L!Winry: Anything you have to say to Choir Boy you can say in front of me, can't you?
T!Ed: No. I can't. *snorts and stands up*
L!Winry: *stands up, too* Why not?
T!Ed: Because it's none of your business?
L!Winry: So what?
T!Ed: So go away?
IC!Alfons: ::frowns a little and stands as well, heading down the hallway:: Come on, Edward, leave her alone for now.
T!Ed: *follows after Alfons, glaring at Weasel*
L!Winry: You guys are a bunch of fuckin' assholes. *angrily stomps upstairs*
IC!Alfons: ::sighs and spots the study, heading into it:: How about here...?
T!Ed: *steps inside and shakes his head, listening to make sure she's gone* Anyway... I had something I wanted to give you.
IC!Alfons: Oh?
T!Ed: *takes the letter out of his pocket and hands out for him to take* Read it when you get home, alright?
IC!Alfons: ::blinks and takes it from him, then sticks it in his pocket, nodding:: Alright... ::frowns a little:: Did you... ahm...
IC!Alfons: ::sighs:: There is something that was in my room that went missing after we went on our picnic... Did you happen to take it...? ::worried::
T!Ed: *fidgets a little* It was on the nightstand. My, um, letter explains it, but it's alright. *smiles slightly*
IC!Alfons: ...Alright. ::sighs:: Sorry. Ahm... I... I did not mean for you to read it... But... Maybe it is okay...
T!Ed: It's fine. *reaches up to mess his hair a bit* Like I said, read that when you get home.
IC!Alfons: ::nods and leans his head against his hand a little:: I will. Danke.
T!Ed: No problem~ *grins* I guess I should go take that nap now...
IC!Alfons: ::frowns slightly:: Have you not been sleeping either...?
T!Ed: Yeah, but for a bunch of different reasons. *shrugs*
IC!Alfons: Oh... I am sorry to hear it. ::sighs:: I hope things get better soon for you... And, ja, take your nap.
T!Ed: Things'll be fine in a few days. And you take care of yourself too. I don't want to hear that you've been drinking again. *mock stern look*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little:: Danke, mother. ::shoves his shoulder gently::
T!Ed: *sticks his tongue out and puts on a squawking voice* If I hear that you have, young man, you'll be grounded!
IC!Alfons: ::laughs:: It would be amusing to see you try that, really.
T!Ed: Don't make me.. You'd be amazed at what I can do. *nods sagely*
IC!Alfons: ::grins:: Oh, I believe you.
T!Ed: Good~ Shall I walk you to the door now, sonny boy?
IC!Alfons: ::chuckles and steps out of the study:: I do not know, I may need some help getting to the big scary door all on my own.
T!Ed: Then I think it's time for the buddy system! *puffs up and reaches to take his hand*
IC!Alfons: ::smiles and squeezes his hand when he takes it:: What ever would we do without the buddy system, indeed?
T!Ed: *squeezes back* Get eaten by the door, most likely. *marches towards the door with a brave swagger*
IC!Alfons: Mm, possibly. Or get horribly lost in the hallway. That would be tragic. ::swings their arms a little::
T!Ed: Oh, very much so. *stops when he gets to the door and gives it a small kick* ...It's dead now.
IC!Alfons: My hero. ::grins, then lets go of his hand to give him a quick hug:: Do you want me to come back over any time soon?
T!Ed: *hugs back* Tomorrow I'm hanging out with your double, but anytime after that is fine~
IC!Alfons: Alright, then how about I give you a call. ::smiles::
T!Ed: That sounds fine with me. *grins* I look forward to seeing you again.
IC!Alfons: ::nods:: As do I. ::opens the door, smiling softly:: Get some rest, now.
T!Ed: I will. See you! *waves, smiling back*
IC!Alfons: ::waves:: Tschau! ::steps outside and heads back home::
