New muse say what...

[couldntwait]

Well this is quite a surprise! Thank you for the opportunity. [Momma smile! She's quite happy to be around!]

Now if you could help me find my boys, I'd be very grateful. You can't miss them!

[ex_cherubic461]

Your boys?

[couldntwait]

[She nods.]

Edward and Alphonse, my sons. [/Proud mother, thank you very much.]

[ex_cherubic461]

[ Her sons. Lily blinks , her head tilting slightly . She had never met another besides well... her mother . ]

Oh! Are they missing?

[slave_number_23]

[ oh hi pretty lady. ]

Eh, you're a new muse of your mundane's, miss?

...

Boys?

[couldntwait]

[Oh hi there young to be hubby one day maybe? idk.]

Is it that obvious? [/smile]

[By the way, just kinda pausing because boy do you look familiar.]

Mm, yes. Edward and Alphonse; my sons.

[slave_number_23]

[ He smiled a little, and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. ]

Well then, my mistake. Heh. [ And then, he choked slightly, in a rather comical fashion, nearly falling over in surprise. The bright golden pupils of his eyes grew small in shock, before he blinked and just stared. ]

—whoa, ur, wait. Edward and Alphonse? They're your—sons?



[ ...Urm. If she confirms it, doesn't that mean she's his— ]

[alchimia]

[ oh my god?????? please excuse him as he stares. ]

M— ...Mom?

[ It's really all he can manage. After all, he'd never thought he'd ever see her again, not after the last vision of her face had been on that which he and Al had created. And that creature, their sin, had been destroyed by his hands. He'd watched her fade away as ethanol evaporated into the air, that same smile on her lips. But this is different because it's really their mother and not a facsimile created by lonely children. And that's really her smile, the smile they'd wanted so much to see again.

He takes a step forward, but freezes. Unable to move any further. His chest is full of so many emotions he can't quite categorize and it aches as a result. At his sides, gloved hands curl into fists and he ducks his head. ]

[couldntwait]

[What is it about hearing someone call mom that causes a person to look? Either way, it won't take Trisha long to recognize her son--even if he is all grown up now.]

[She'd heard time has paradoxes in this place; so it wouldn't be all that uncommon would it. Still, the sight is a little shocking. Last time she saw her adorable children, they were just that. Children.]

[Don't worry though. She'll be smiling softly in no time.] My, my, is that my Edward? Look at how you've grown! [Also, hoping he's not too old for a hug from Momma :< 'cause that's what she's going for right now.]

[alchimia]

[ His breath catches as she steps closer and he has to be dreaming, right? This is some kind of dream? But then she's near enough that he can reach out and it's like he's six years old again, clinging to her apron after a fight with Al. His hands are slow to raise, but when the finally do, they clutch a bit desperately. And for fuck's sake, he's eighteen now. He shouldn't be like this, it's so unmanly. ]

Mom...

[ A bitter laugh forces its way past his lips at the comment about his height. The truth is, he hasn't really grown. Not much in height, at least. But in other ways. In so many other ways, with what he's seen and how far he's traveled. Would she be mad? If she knew what he'd done. What they had both done? ]

Y— [ His voice cracks, so full of emotion. ] Yeah.

i - i hope you don't mind two ed's ._.

[hermetics]

[ Ed doesn't even know what to say. He's seen that smile a million times in his dreams, but seeing it really there in front of him is far too overwhelming. The one image he claimed he always wanted to see again, that drove him and Al to do the unspeakable, and ... there it is.

Like it's nothing.

What do you even say? All he can do is stare, even though he feels like he doesn't even have a right to do that. ]

Mom? Is - ... is it really...?

Bawwwww never! /hoards all the Ed's.

[couldntwait]

[She would never blame you boys for such a thing, just saying. Still, to her, this is her wonderful, smart, talented son, aged a few years, as it would seem! Time paradoxes; what a trip!]

[Surely seeing that smile again, a real tangible one, is relieving, isn't it? She would certainly hope so at least. So here's another soft smile; just for her big smart baby boy c:]

Edward! Look at you... [She clasps her hands.] Goodness, I knew you'd be a handsome young man.

[prime_leader]

Boys? Your children are missing Miss?

[couldntwait]

[... YOU ARE A GIANT ROBOT.]

[She'll stare a moment and... welp, try not to be rude; forgive her. She's used to ... not giant robots.]

A-ah, I would... certainly hope they aren't... I've run into Edward so far, but not Alphonse.

[notthispie]

Oh! Are you Edward and Alphonse's mother? It is wonderful to meet you.

MY HEART.

[couldntwait]

[Hmm? C: Oh my, what a sweet woman!] Oh! Yes! Those are my two! [Said like a truly proud mother.]

I'm sorry, your name is...?

[automechanic]

[She sucks in her breath when she sees her, hand going over her mouth for a moment. It couldn't really be...could it?]

Mrs...Mrs. Elric?

[couldntwait]

[That can't be, can it? Trisha pauses a moment--it's those bright eyes that give her away!] Is that Winry, too? My, this place is full of surprises!

[braided_icarus]

[Ed is so unsure. This...can't be her, right? Oh, but then Hughes was around and he was dead back home to, so sure life. Why not mess with him even more by having her of all people show up. After everything he and Al had been through, after what they had attempted and sacrificed to see her again all those years ago. And after Hohenheim had shown up in Anatole too.]

M-Mom....?

[couldntwait]

[Sure enough, it is, buddy. Real, warm, tangible mother! And just like she would when he was a child, Trisha turned with a smile, recognizing that call. How could she not?

Don't worry; this isn't some sort of awful dream where she turns into something creepy either.]

There you are..! A little different than I remember, but you all the same, right? [Hug yes/yes? 8D]

[slave_number_23]

[ Edward, why didn't you tell me your mother was hot, and causes me to feel these strange, new feelings of true love and she has these really pretty green eyes, like the rain-soaked moss and trees he never saw before he left Xerxes, and no, seriously, he has never crushed on anybody before stupid sudden teenage hormones in my stomach, and makes me stammer like an lovestruck idiot.

I could have used a. Like, a little warning here or something, ya'know.

Really. I could have. ]

[god_not_goth]

Well this is certainly something I am not used to experiencing.

[couldntwait]

Oh..? And what's that?

[lifestone]

[That voice. Hohenheim cannot help but look up and see the face he has wanted to see for so long.]

Trisha?

/squeak!

[couldntwait]

[My, my, this place is just full of surprises! Trisha hadn't expected to turn around and see her hubby! It's a pleasant surprise, none the less and her gaze softens.]

Is that really you, dear?

where are all the Al's..........? /PULLS UP MANLY PANTS--- ER LOINCLOTH. I SHALL BE THE FIRST....!!!

[markedsin]

[No way...! It couldn't be possible...!?]

[It's as if time had reversed when no one was looking. Here is his mother, as beautiful as he had always remembered her to be. As if nothing bad had ever touched her, with that glorious smile plastered on her face. Alphonse would have sworn that he was dreaming-- had it not been for the fact he was incapable of doing so, hadn't been able to for quite some time now.

He isn't the same boy she would remember. Cold, lifeless metal stood where a young, bright eyed boy should be. How could he face her this way? He couldn't brake his mothers heart by showing her the remaining proof of the sin he and Edward had committed. This lifeless shell, it isn't something she should have to see-- and yet, Al can't contain himself. Could anyone blame him?? After all he and Ed went through, just to see her smile one more time-- and here is that moment!]

Mom!! I'm here, Mom!
