[alkahestrykunais]

You're stuck figuring out what time point that I should be from..?

[...]

I agree that taking me from after the doctors would be wise, but what time from than? You're making this much to hard.. Mundane, as long as I'm with Alphonse-sama or Scar-sama where I am sent my time point isn't concerning. [ especially if it's Al]

Comments

[alkahestry]

I've learned recently myself that begin from different points in time can be pretty confusing, but it's important to do what makes you both the most comfortable.

[... and speaking of different time periods, look who's out of his suit of armor and fully recovered. See how different periods work?]

[alkahestrykunais]

Alphonse-saaaaama! [ Yup! You're getting a huge glomp before she replies.]

The only thing my mundane is sure of with time point is that I know shat the stone is msde of. [ and that you're cooler than Ed.]

[alkahestry]

May!

[Oh good lord, but he really should have been prepared for this type of greeting. Luckily he's a bit more sturdy than he was the last time he remembers seeing her.]

That's right before we all went up north wasn't it? It's been a few years since then so hopefully I'm remembering things right.

[Of course, he's cooler than his rude and temperamental older brother. He strives to be a gentlemen after all!]

[alkahestrykunais]

[hughughugshe'llgetoffonceyoumoveher]

Yes, before I escorted Marcoh-sama up there with you and Ed-sama following.

[ Makes good sense, someone has to be the reasonable one.]

[alkahestry]

[He'll give her a minute, but yes a hand eventually comes up to get her to stop and then slowly ease them apart.]

Well, believe it or not but my player tends to take me from right before I leave to come and visit you. I never do seem to make it to Xing to start my alkahestry training.

[One day maybe!]

[alkahestrykunais]

[She's not going to make any effort to resist as he eases them apart. Nope, she's just fine with it.]

Is it because they want you to have your actual body?

[alkahestry]

Yes. It tends to be helpful in the places she sends me...

[Questionable places where being a legal consenting adult helps. Oh god he really should not be having this type of conversation with her.]

... she's all really fond of the ending though, because I'm restored and back to normal. I can't say I blame her, I rather like having my body back too!

[alkahestrykunais]

I like you having your body back too, my clan was still helped even though I didn't get the philosopher stone. So I appreciate that.

You can't do all the things that you need to do in a game as a suit of armor, huh?

[alkahestry]

[He's glad you're happy May, but the alarms are going off in his head. Excuse him while he flails.]

Nope, can't sleep, or eat, or enjoy life to the fullest. There's just so much more I can experience now that I've been restored.

[All of the nervous laughter.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[ She can hear the nervousness in your voice, Al. It wouldn't be like her not to ask.]

Yes, you can miss so much. [a beat] What is it?

[alkahestry]

[It's like that time May met Winry all over again. Should he really feel like he's defending himself?]

Oh it's nothing really. The places I go to just have some rather questionable expectations.

What's your new home going to be like?

[alkahestrykunais]

[ questionable expectations than a subject change, that's a bit suspicious. Ah, well, she's not going to push it, just give you a light stare before answering. ]

I don't know, my mundane hasn't decided which one to choose. Both look pretty good, but Xiao-Mei wouldn't be able to come with me for one...

/dont' mind how late this is. >_>;

[alkahestry]

[He'll take the stare and silently thank whatever is managing to get him through this without having to explain how he's stuck on a sex island.]

I see the problem then, Xiao-Mei's always been with you too. It would be hard to be apart from her again wouldn't it? Being apart doesn't mean she wouldn't be safe though and like you said other people are where you're going. I bet even if I wasn't there you'd still manage to make friends to help you through it.

/don't mind how icons keep getting fixed

[alkahestrykunais]

[b-b-but, the one time that she was away from her was just horrible. She may be tearing up just thinking about it.]

The last time I was separated from Xiao-Mei was when you kidnapped her.. That was hard enough, but at least Scar-sama was there to help me. If someone like Scar-sama is there, if may not be so bad..

[avaricious]

I'd personally feel better if you weren't trying to kill me.

[alkahestrykunais]

The only time we are on good terms is at the very end.

[avaricious]

Well, it is the first time we ever really talked. [They'd only ever seen each other before, in the palace, on the rare instances all the heirs were in one place.]

[alkahestrykunais]

[ That was true, and by the time she realized that he was also searching for immortality he was taken over by Greed.]

There was no true reason to speak before.

[avaricious]

Well, you are right about that. I'm sure even if you don't remember the Promised Day, you and I could find a way to get along wherever we were.

[Or at the very least try not to shank one another in their sleep.]

[alkahestrykunais]

Yes, just as well that you do not put in that you collect the philosopher stone before the time is right.[because that could just lead to more dislike.]

[avaricious]

Even if I did, you wouldn't have an easy time reclaiming it from me.

[It's kind of. Stuck inside him.]

[alkahestrykunais]

Quite true, but that does not mean that I wouldn't try. That or find a different way to ensure that you do not win.

[avaricious]

Just like old times.

[How are they ever going to cross that desert together?]

[alkahestrykunais]

I never tried an attempt on your life.

[ Ran Fan's, yes, not his though.]

[avaricious]

Or course not. We were both too ambitious for something like that.

[Their siblings on the other hand. Some of them found it simpler to send out assassins to try and cull the competition.]

[alkahestrykunais]

Yes, neither of us liked the idea of murder either.

[True, that was mostly the clans that could afford to do such a thing though.]

[avaricious]

Nevermind how messy it was. I remember when the Chin clan sent an assassin to my seventh birthday. They managed to get by Fu and I was forced to fend him off until we were spotted.

[alkahestrykunais]

Really? As I'm from the Chang clan, so I never got any assassins sent to me for my birthday. I suppose that is why you were given bodyguards.

[avaricious]

I suppose they never realized how much of a threat you actually were.

[Or maybe Ling was just more popular!]

[alkahestrykunais]

That was their flaw for not realizing how strong the Chang clan can be.

[avaricious]

I'm sure they'd have sent the best assassins if they realized how close you would come to taking control of Xing.

[Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?]

[alkahestrykunais]

Of course they wouldn't have been much trouble at all for Xiao-Mei and I to defeat.

[ Not exactly warm and fuzzy, but something of the sort.]

[ooc: Hey! Since whut is switching threads, I thought I'd let you know that I'll probably, most likely be apping May to Luceti.]

[avaricious]

You shouldn't be so confident. One of them could have been me.

[Because nothing is as relaxing as casual sororicide.]

[ooc: Awesome! I'll look forward to her app then!]

[alkahestrykunais]

Unless you also brought your bodyguards, I could have escaped using my Alkahestry.

[Nothing except calm fratricide.]

[ooc: sweet~ may or may not be this month debating on whether I can get a move on those samples.]

[avaricious]

You wouldn't be the first alkahestrist I've defeated.

[Probably the best one. But not first!]

[ooc: I'd help if I could! But if you need some help on the samples, maybe someone else in the cast could help? You can get the first person sample out of the way if you have a thread on trainingwings]

[alkahestrykunais]

Perhaps not, but who is say that I cannot at least escape you with it.

[ooc: Hrmm~ I'm sure once I get the motivation up, I'll be able to do it. I still have like... two days. I tend to enjoy writing samples anyways. Thanks though!]

[avaricious]

You might be able to manage that. For awhile.

[ooc: okie dokie! Well, good luck!]

[alkahestrykunais]

Are you saying that you would be willing to track me until you can assassinate me?

[ooc: Thanks~ The application is actually up now!]

[avaricious]

... well, I didn't mean it like that.

[That makes him sound pretty terrible.]

[ooc: Eeeexceeellent. I'm suitably excited. B)]

[alkahestrykunais]

This is an odd conversation to be having actually..

[This whole conversation is terrible.]

[ooc: good!]

[avaricious]

You're right. Let's put discussions of that behind us. After all, I can't change the empire if there's still talk of assassination.

[alkahestrykunais]

Yes, and you certainly can not take care of the Chang Clan by assassinating me.

[avaricious]

I suppose they would take that badly.

[alkahestrykunais]

I'm certain it would lead to dispute instead of peace.
