[#2] Figuring Things Out

[wontjustwait]

Well, I think it's safe to say I've settled in as much as I can. I haven't met my "father" or "mother" yet, but I'm not having any problems with them and Charlotte's nice, so I don't see any reason to complain. Ed got me a screwdriver so I've been taking things apart. The toasters are really interesting on the inside!

Yea! I'd like it if you came over. It'd be really fun!~

No, Ed's not borin', he's really nice!

[wontjustwait]

Okay, I'll be over in a minute!

And good to hear. You're so sweet to put up with him, Elysia.

[pitchur_perfect]

Yay! I'll go get my crayons.

I am?

[wontjustwait]

Yes, you are.
I'll grab some paper and crayons too. Be over soon!

I'm glad to hear you're settling in. And I'm sure there's something you can do to help - especially with medicine, I bet people would prefer to be treated by someone other than the drones.

[wontjustwait]

All right. I'm not an expert, but I can give it a shot if you ever need anything.

[heartofheaven]

Do you have a job here?

[filtered]

[wontjustwait]

No, I don't. I'm hoping to start babysitting a bit, though. I want to be able to buy Mogget some better food, and be able to buy more stuff to keep Elysia happy...

[braided_icarus]

The toaster....? Aw, jeez. Winry, you put it back afterwards, right?

And yeah, been alright, I guess. Bastard Colonel is here now, apparently. But you're right. We should talk to Al and take you around town again at some point. Been spending way too much time inside lately. Need to go spar later....

[wontjustwait]

Of course I did! I needed to make myself some toast.

Geez, Ed, you're so mean to Colonel Mustang. I think he's a perfect gentleman... But yeah, walking around town again would be nice. I'm sure we could all use the exercise anyways.

[braided_icarus]

....Yeah, but Winry, it's the Colonel. You know how I hate being ordered around. And he blackmails me! Like "If you don't let Armstrong go with you to Resembool for auto-mail repairs, I'll tell everyone about that transmutation you boys did and you'll be court martialled."

Though I guess sometimes he isn't too bad...
Wait, perfect gentlemen...? Pfffft. You do know his reputation with women, right?

Mm. I need it. Been inside with school and research a lot lately. And thinking, since Mom had shown up, but I think I'm adjusting to that now...

[wontjustwait]

Well maybe if you weren't so stubborn he wouldn't have the blackmail you into making good choices. Though I guess I can see why traveling with Major Armstrong might be a bit iffy... He's nice, but a bit overbearing...

Well, he's very nice to me! So I don't see anything to complain about.

Maybe we can get together and study for school together too. It'd be a good excuse to see each other, at least. And get your mind off of things...
um... Don't overdo it though, okay?

[bustydefense]

Ah, you must be Ed's friend from home.

[wontjustwait]

Hmm? Oh, yeah, that'd be me.
I hope he hasn't been causing you any trouble.

[bustydefense]

Oh no. Ed has been most helpful.

[wontjustwait]

Really now? Why does everyone here get to see his "good side" that I rarely see?

Well, that's good to hear. I'm glad he's making friends and not enemies.

[wontjustwait]

Sounds great! Ed sounded like he was okay with it too. So I guess now we're just picking a time and starting place, right?
