You're obsessed with that now, aren't you?
Alphonse stared at the woman. "Mom...?" He asked. If it had just been the secretary how could she have known their mother's name...? Alphonse looked over at Winry as she approached him. He wasn't sure where this was going but he knew this lady wasn't safe. "Winry! Go back to the others!" Alphonse tried to warn her as nicely as possible. He didn't want to involve Winry in this danger at all. Xioimara shut her eyes for a little bit. "Should we go after them?" She finally asked in the silence. She had found the couch to be the most comfortable spot in the world since she got back to Izumi's house. Xioimara's wounds were finally getting a few minutes to at least try and heal. The world finally shut up for a little bit. She didn't want to ruin this greatness already. "We can't afford to have you running around, getting hurt anymore. I will stay here with you." Armstrong informed Xioimara. He enjoyed the silence as well but was worried about everyone. They had all dispersed in a matter of minutes. He hoped everyone would be back unscathed. That was the last thing they needed. "Oh, you saw right through that one, didn't you?" Lust dropped her shoulders and narrowed her eyes. The sweet, inviting look expression quickly vanished and turned back into her cold and serious look. "What are you gonna do about it?" Lust asked the two.
Yes most people are. I would like to meet someone in this world that hasn't gone insane in the littlest.
Alphonse stared at the secretary. She looked too much like Mom. She had the same kind eyes and warm smile that always made him feel welcomed home. It felt wrong to hit them... They weren't Mom though, were they? He didn't hear too much of the conversation... Even if she wasn't, she was still the secretary and that could get them in serious trouble... "I can't-" He finally managed to speak, dropping his gaze to the ground. Was this really their mother that they tried to revive or just some double-crossing secretary? "Who are you?" Lust glanced back as Xoram and Ling caught onto her. "Damn them." She said under her breath. Lust broke into a run to try and shake them from her trail. Lust cast an eye over her shoulder every now and then to see if they were still there. 'I'm tired of this.' Lust told herself. If she had to take them all out now then she would. Lust stopped, turning to face Xoram and Ling. "Why are you two boys following a poor lady?" She asked them kindly, her eyes softening.
-Decline- I only accept if it's for the strip club or food.
Don't worry I am too... No joke.
"Whatever. They're just a bunch of brats." Xioimara looked to Armstrong. "I don't recall ever being such a brat." She commented. Xioimara rolled her eyes. "I'm tired of getting stabbed, and beat up." Xioimara decided, hugging her knees. Armstrong shook his head at Xioimara's question. "You never waned too far out of authority." He told her. "I believe anyone would." Armstrong stayed at the house once Ling and Xoram left just in case any danger arose. It was apparent that Xioimara wouldn't be able to defend herself long and it was his duty anyways. Lust left after giving a smile to Edward. She took the backroads back towards Izumi's place. Lust kept in the dark alleys as Ling and Xoram passed. It was easy for her to stay hidden. It was even better that they were leaving. Her only worry was where The Strongarm Alchemist was. He posed a small threat to her.
Fo sho .
Wanna rp? Sorry I'm on late.
Xioimara listened as Winry left. Least to say, Xioimara didn't much approve of that girl. Xioimara turned over at looked at the group. "So, they're gone." Xioimara got over this fact. "Back to business," Xioimara started. "Anyone know when the next eclipse is?" She asked, eyeing everyone. She felt her wound had finally stopped bleeding. It was starting to dry at least.
Uh nah idk yet. Cause I'm gonna be a senior next year so yeah it's my final year. Then college.
Only rains here, brah.
Yeah hopefully don't really know what I'm going to be taking next year yet but i have the option I'm gonna take it.
Alphonse sighed. He couldn't keep fighting this. His brother was bent on the idea of leaving. "Fine..." He finally agreed. "Let's go." Alphonse didn't feel right about leaving the others behind but he was sure everything would work out in the end. Alphonse tried to feel confident that everything would be okay if they left. He hoped the others wouldn't get attacked, or his brother as well as himself wouldn't get attacked. Besides, Resembol was a nice town. Everyone knows each other and no one wants to harm one another... Perhaps, while they were there Alphonse would have the time to calm down and sort things out. Too much was happening for him to sort right from wrong.
Well they already had to hire new teachers and we just don't have the money for new textbooks and stuff :/
Sorry. ;_; I don't know if I'll be on later but I will be on tomorrow.
"Off to go find himself..." Xioimara muttered. She stiffly walked past the group towards the couch. She didn't have the energy to make it upstairs. Xioimara laid down slowly, her back to the group. She could care less about what was happening. Xioimara just wanted to go five minutes without getting stabbed, kicked, or hit. "I'm going," Xioimara started, trying to catch her breath. "To punch Mustang in the face when we get back to Central." Xioimara pulled her knees to her chest and closed her eyes. "What do you care?" Lust taunted. She did find herself having fun in teasing the FullMetal Alchemist. She was becoming rather irritated as Edward seemed to be trying to protect them quite suddenly. She used the nearest object as a hostage. Lust's nails shot out and into Alphonse's armor. "Come any closer and I'll ruin that little seal that keeps your brother bound to this earth." She threatened. "Sloth, let's just go back." Lust finally said after silence came across the group. "We need to plan something instead of just attacking on the whim..." Lust said, "The children will become too accustomed to our attacks." She smiled at Edward. Armstrong shook his head. "Alphonse will bring him back." He reassured Winry. Alphonse slowly backed away from Lust. 'How does she know where my seal is?' He wondered, terrified for his life. "Brother," Alphonse started while Lust spoke to Sloth. "We should go back to the others... We can go together..." He tried to tell Edward without giving off too much of where they were headed.
Ye. Ye. c:
"Brother!" Alphonse shouted as he spotted his brother in the distance. He ran towards him but slowed a little as Sloth and Lust also became visible in the distance. "Leave him alone!" Alphonse warned Sloth and Lust as he came closer to his brother. Regardless of Sloth's looks he was aware she was still a threat. Lust laughed. "I think I like you a little better now." She commented once he admitted to hurting Xioimara. "Way to hurt the people that care about you." She smiled. "Sloth, I'm going to see what is going on." Lust finally said. Lust gave Edward one last look as Alphonse neared them. "You should hurt him too." Lust giggled once more and was off to go see where Xioimara was. "I overreacted..." Xioimara admitted. She opened her eyes a little bit to see where they were. "I was always told not to let anger get the best of me..." "You were just doing what came to mind." Armstrong reassured her. "I prefer that you attacked him back rather than just letting him go," Armstrong started. "If Alphonse is lucky, you managed to stop him long enough for Alphonse to catch up. You've changed a lot since two years ago." Armstrong added as they neared the house. "I can walk..." Xioimara told Armstrong as a little bit of her energy started to come back to her. Xioimara was let down on her feet. She felt aches and pains all over her body. "Its been two years already?" She tried to recall. "Just about. I remember they almost refused to let you become a State Alchemist because you seemed scared of everything including your shadow." Armstrong said. He became quiet once more as they came up to Izumi's front door. "Well I'm not anymore..." Xioimara added. She barely remembered that far back. She did her best to erase her past though being back in Dublith didn't help that fact at all. It only helped revive her memories if anything. "We're back." Armstrong announced as he opened the door to enter the house.
Damn just logged on >.>
