➤ 11th Transmutation [Backdated to 8/1]

A. » Phone

[Ed's been keeping to himself ever since he got back from the whole carnival thing. He's been in an awful state even before it, but when he died there it all seemed to hit him at once. He felt useless and pathetic and he wasn't able to help anyone. He couldn't even help himself! He's been here almost a year now and what has he accomplished? Nothing.

But after having an inspirational talk with his brother (read: he got his ass thoroughly kicked because he was being an IDIOT and now he kind of has a black eye and a broken nose) he figured it was finally time to break the radio silence.
]

Hey, I wanted to apologize for this past month. I was being... I was being an idiot and I know it.

B. » Action 「Grocery Store」

[In an attempt to make up for being a giant ass, Ed decided to make dinner for Winry tonight and can be found wandering the aisles in thought.]

What should I even make...?


C. » Action 「Around Town」


[Ed bought all the groceries he needed and is headed for home. He's carrying two large bags in his hands and it's kind of hard for him to see over the top of them. What is paying attention to where you're walking? ]

[ It's been so long since she heard his voice that Winry didn't believe it at first. She almost hung the phone up out of spite. So she could go HA! See what it feels like, Edward?!

But she couldn't.

Not when the tears started coming and the guilt was encouraging them to make her voice quiet and choked.
]

Ed? Is that you?
theboywiththebook: (How could you?)

[Your not little brother has just heard this, and he's picking up on something is really bugging him.]

Ed...?

[ Rika has been worried about you for quite a while, stupid! Like Winry, she almost wanted to hang up the phone. He sounded so ... tired. Injured. Familiar. If Ed was going to go back to being that way then maybe it was better to stop talking to him. Distance herself from the pain of watching his spirit whither away.

It takes her a few seconds, maybe even a minute, to so much as mumble a response.
]

--- Hello! [ It's a lame response. She curses that fact, but what else is there to say? ] ... Edward, hello to you, sir.
handsforhealing: (Breakdown)

[personal profile] handsforhealing 2012-08-06 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of a question is that?!

[ Can you hear the wrenches in her voice, Ed? Because she wishes she could throw them, while simultaneously being glad she can't. Also glad he can't see that, once again, she's crying... he doesn't need to see her cry right now. ]

I'm not the one who hasn't said anything all month! What's your problem? Is it that hard to give me a call? You idiot!
theboywiththebook: (Depressed)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-08-06 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'm okay...what about you though? I haven't seen you in weeks.
handsforhealing: (All of the tears)

[personal profile] handsforhealing 2012-08-06 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you apologizing for such stupid things? It's not your fault! You shouldn't be apologizing, you idiot!

[ She almost yells over his quiet apology, stuck somewhere between being frustrated and guilty. ]

I shouldn't have let you go! I shouldn't've left you for a month... I shouldn't've waited! Why didn't I make you stay?! [ It makes Winry sick to think about it too hard. She trusted him to come back alive, like she always did, but he didn't this time. It's terrifying to have that fear that haunts her all the time become a reality. ]

Apology accepted, Fullmetal. Though I hear you're in hotter water with other people, so I'm probably the least of your worries.
theboywiththebook: (Curious)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-08-06 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be okay...

Where've you been though? I haven't seen you since before the Carnival.
handsforhealing: (Cry for them)

[ Good, it sounds like Al did talk to him. Winry had no doubts he would, but she's still relieved to hear it confirmed. ]

E-even so I... D-dammit, whose house are you at? Stay put!
canhasfuhrer: (im the greatest)

[personal profile] canhasfuhrer 2012-08-06 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing it wasn't too bad - the Lieutenant didn't mention seeing you in the hospital.

Or were you just too ashamed to admit your little brother beat you up?
theboywiththebook: (uh huh sure)

[personal profile] theboywiththebook 2012-08-06 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Uh oh...]

Um...well...noo...not really?

[He can't really lie on this one. He did sort of make it public knowledge on the phone that he got information back from Horrorfield.]

[ Satou is wandering the aisles, wishing she knew how to cook. She has a list of ingredients, but has already seen some spicy sauces that must taste great in cupcakes and has begun to plan improvising on her baking. She looks up to grab something from a shelf and stops, recognizing Ed almost immediately. Her mouth drops open, non-intelligent thoughts crush anything intelligent she might have said, and she points. ]

Mr Edward-san! I found you! [ Yup! A month late! The reason she pretends she went into the Funhouse! He's here. She's done it. Hell yeah. Al is going to be so proud of her! ] Congratulations!

[ To herself...? Who knows. Seeing Ed has momentarily broken her. She's not sure what she "should" be feeling. ]
handsforhealing: (Handling sadness)

[personal profile] handsforhealing 2012-08-06 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Don't you dare move, you hear me!

[ She debates grabbing something. Maybe a wrench... supplies and tools... But Ed is more important than his automail. Just this once, she'll let that not be a concern. Winry is just too quick to hang up the phone, too ready to see him, that she brings absolutely nothing with her but her capacity to cry.

A few minutes later and, as he said, she'll be there to see him.

Ed...I was okay, really. Jenny gave me something to keep me safe, and everyone I met there kept me safe too. I think I even helped keep others safe...

[He's really trying to make Ed feel better about this.]

I got out all right in the end. I didn't die...
canhasfuhrer: (hmmmmm)

[personal profile] canhasfuhrer 2012-08-06 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Never?

Hmm, maybe we made the wrong brother a state alchemist. Think he'd be interested in his own commission?
