Seven

It's such a pretty day out. I think I'll go draw some pictures!

[Porom has found some sidewalk chalk and is industriously working away on the sidewalk. Most of what she's been doing involves flowers and bunnies, but there's also an unfinished tower in blue chalk that she adds to every so often.

There's also a picture of a smiling policeman and mayor

[ When May sees people drawing on the sidewalk she instantly thinks "RANTANJUTSU". But these don't look like transmutation circles. ]

Are you doing some sort of rantanjutsu...? Or alchemy?

[properwhitemage]

Alchemy? No, these are just pictures--what is rantanjutsu?

[daydreamerxing]

Oh. Rantanjutsu is the Xing equivalent to Amestris' alchemy. But it's more about healing and riding power on the veins of the dragon.

I don't have the ability to use it back yet, or I'd show you...

[properwhitemage]

Alchemy... that's science, isn't it? Different from magic. How does it work?

[Riding power on the veins of a dragon? Huh?]

[Chrno walks by, sees the drawings and smiles. Cute little kid.]

[properwhitemage]

[Smiles back at him.]

Hello, sir!

[prodigious_mage]

Why, sister! What lovely drawings. I especially admire the detail on our beloved police chief.

(Is . . . Is that Mysidia's tower, Porom?)

[properwhitemage]

I thought I'd draw him holding hands with the Mayor, because they do so much together for the town.

(Yes... it is.)

[prodigious_mage]

What a lovely sentiment. They do look so happy together working for the good of us all.

(Oh. ...........I kinda miss it.)

[properwhitemage]

I know. It's amazing how dedicated they are.

(I do too. ...But we'll figure out how to get back.)

[properwhitemage]

Hello! I'm Porom.

[wizardoftheweek]

You draw pictures?

[properwhitemage]

Just for fun. Do you like them?

[roundhousekicks]

[O hai Porom. Chie's just gonna check out your handiwork. And... maybe just ignore the policeman and mayor.]

Hey... nice drawings. Is that a bunny rabbit?

[properwhitemage]

[That's okay. The policeman and the mayor are a red herring to divert attention from the tower postmodern symbolism. Or something.]

Uh-huh! Don't you think he's cute, miss?

[roundhousekicks]

Yeah! He's adorable! ...You don't have to call me miss, though. My name's Chie.

[properwhitemage]

Thanks! And it's nice to meet you, Chie. I'm Porom.
