14th: The Fetishes of Haruhi Suzumiya

[godbent]

[Voice]

[Okay so she's still on the tailend of recovering from the cold she had when she came back from the draft, but by now the fever has (mostly) subsided and she no longer feels tired all the time which leads her to make an important announcement:]

Keiichi, come pick up your stupid boyfriend, he doesn't need to creep around my house and play nurse anymore! Or... Minako! You get over here and help me get him in a proper nurse uniform if he thinks he can hang around like this! Neku, you're a man, why haven't you kicked him out yet--

[And then there's a scramble because... Minato may or may not have taken note of her doing this. Fuuuuuh. Oh wait-]

Oh and Edward! Chime in!

[Aaaaand here she's forced away from her book :C She's been bedridden/otherwise kept mostly at or around home for a while now, so for Brigade people assume she has not been at meetings since she got back. And aside from her message that she was alive right when she got back (here) she hasn't exactly gone out of her way to contact anyone.

So anyone can tag even aside from the summoned people]

Comments

[automailed]

[Oh good, she's okay too. He'd been wondering about that.]

What is it?

[godbent]

Come on over to my place this afternoon.

[Ignoring that he probably doesn't know... where that is...]

[automailed]

"Your place"? [Okay first question should be why, but he doesn't even know where it is.]

[godbent]

My place. [orite]

House 10.

[automailed]

Why? [Or maybe the real question is "why me?"] Do you need something?

[godbent]

Well duh, or I wouldn't be calling you. It's not like you have anything different to do that coming over here will get in the way of.

[automailed]

Hey, it's not like I'm just wasting time! I'm doing important work over here!

[Well alright, so he'd put it on hold for a few days to fuss ineffectually over Winry, BUT STILL.]

[godbent]

My ears can detect lies and I know that's bogus! Now shut up and get over here later!

[automailed]

[SEETHE. If he finishes that transmutation circle SHE IS NOT ALLOWED TO COME not that it's likely to work on anyone who isn't from Amestris]

Fine, whatever! I'll be there later.

[If you're going to be a boss bitch, you can wait.]

[godbent]

[Wow Ed, what specific heroics. But then she nods to herself, quite pleased with the results of her summons. Now Ed will come and she will be able to get this show on the road. Not that she'll be waiting on baited breath or anything]

[automailed]

[Well he's never claimed to be a hero. And despite his grumbling it won't be that long until he stops by. Hopefully someone will have let him in so he can go see what she wants.]

[godbent]

[Actually, for Ed, she's waiting on the porch. Or maybe Minato and/or Keiichi and/or Winry are around by now, but either way she's lurking outside at this very moment. And-]

Oh good, you showed!

[automailed]

[Browlift. Well at least she's healthy enough to be out and about.]

I said I would, didn't I?

[godbent]

Well yeah, but I expected you to resist longer.

[She's still flushed and a bit sluggish with the movement now that she stands, but... much better than before]

[automailed]

Maybe I finished what I was doing early than I expected. Who cares?

[And maybe Winry left to visit, or he got stuck, THE REASON IS UNIMPORTANT.]

1/2

[godbent]

Whatever you say.

[She shifts over to the edge of the porch, leaning against the rail]

[godbent]

Do you have any things you can transmute better than others? Metal versus stone versus wood?

[automailed]

[Phew, at least she's not asking him to endure smalltalk.]

If I know the material, what it's made of doesn't matter much. I have the most experience transmuting metal, though, and Al's better at working with the ground than I am.

[godbent]

That explains why the other Al was so good at making me those pillars and statues... alright. [She hums here, thinking. The tune right now is aimless, but she starts to pace. Okay, using his talents there are a few windows open, but does she want to resort to using him? ...choices]

[automailed]

[Okay, she couldn't have dragged him over here just to ask something she could've asked over the journal.]

Why did you want to know?

[godbent]

A number of reasons, there's a lot of potential uses, you know. [She says this deftly, still pacing. The humming stops a moment and then finally she concludes which of her ideas she wants to test right now. But before that-]

Actually, how do you do the hand-clap thingy? Pre-drawn circles?

[automailed]

[...Ugh, like that isn't invasive. He looks away, his expression shifting in discomfort and irritation.]

It's just something I can do.

[godbent]

So basically it's a special exception to physical laws governing your science, got it.

[She doesn't know that for sure, but she shrugs after her quick snipe. For all she knows he actually has a circle engraved into one of his hands or something]

Whatever- but the fact you can do it like that is convenient. We discussed the ocean, right?

[automailed]

[Yeah, if she wants to define it that way, he won't argue about it. He doesn't have a much better answer for her besides a squiggly-armed "I saw that thing" or to lie and call himself a genius alchemist. She's certainly not getting the full story.]

Yeah, I remember. [He's still weighing the pros and cons of letting Winry make him some ridiculous flippers. Cons are still winning out.]

[godbent]

Well I'm in the market for a boat, and while I'd prefer to have something made by my Brigade, you transmuting a tree or something would do wonders for the frame.
