"Hey Dante" Kevin said, waving to his neighbor. "How're you doing?" He then went back to playing with his PSP, laughing at several moments in the game.
-------------------------
Martel didn't answer Jean until they were a fair distance from the house. "To tell you the truth, I just didn't want to deal with the bastards in the living room" she told him, sighing and shaking her head slightly. "JD is bad enough".

Riza smiled, watching Jean leave.
She didn't feel like herself... but that was something she was still getting used to

Jean nodded, having heard te familiar voices as he'd walked by.
"I think we should consider admission interviews instead of just letting anyone move in."
He'd heard a light commotion about JD too, not really wanting to know what the kid had done this time, even though he was sure to find out.
Unlocking his car, a family sized Seat with a 5 year lease, he slid himself behind the wheel and pulled on his seat belt before starting up the engine.
---------------------------------------------------
"Cab 14 to central. I'm going home now." And before any response could be made, most probably a request for him to pick up just one last customer, Denny switched the radio off and pulled into the right lane.

Zolf let the glass door of the liquor distributor slam shut as he muttered irritations on the way out. The proprietor pointed to a sign while inside: NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO SERVCE. He leaned inside the passenger side window and grabbed a wadded T-shirt. He sniffed it and wrinkled his nose. 'Stale from the last rain.' he thought to himself. "Oh well," he muttered as he threw it over his head and pulled his arms through the sleeves, "the sign didn't say I had to smell like bakery fresh cinnamon rolls."
He bought a case of Rolling Rock, a case of Corona, and vodka, tequilla, and Jack Daniels. He also bought various mixers to go with the hard stuff. He bought margarita mix in case the ladies wanted something fancy and frozen.
He pulled his car up to the entrance and hopped out to load the haul into his back seat. He then grabbed two large bags of ice, hopped in and headed for the store.
After having finished his store run, he drove back to the house and unloaded all the food and booze onto the porch. He tossed the ice into a large outdoor fridge (for party booze and the like) along with the perishable foods.
He'd also bought a couple bags of charcoal and three cans of lighter fluid. He couldn't resist...he'd picked up one, thought better of it and grabbed another. Then halfway down the aisle, he walked back and grabbed a third.
After stocking all the party goods, he dashed upstairs and went to the room where he had all his clothes and stuff stashed. He didn't even know, or care, who's room it was. They never seemed to cross paths, whoever they were. Not like he had anything worth stealing. He grabbed a fresh shirt that said Eagles May Soar, But Weasels Don't Get Sucked Into Jet Engines'' He then took the stairs back down, and went outside to grab a cold one, light a smoke and collapse on a chaise lounge.

Alex leaped down the stairs two at a time. he had just finished taking a nap and was newly dressed after his fiasco in the pool. Again he wore denim jeans, but now he wore a shirt that fit his form snugly. the shirt rippled along with his muscles in his huge torso as he bound down the stairs and leaped over the banister into the kitchen. "Hello, every one." he said cheerfully. alex made a sandwich and moved into the living room. "Hey Anthras."
(Anthras)
Anthras was sitting in the living room when alex walked in, "hey, alex. You mind stepping out of the living room for a minute. i am just finishing up business with Nate." Anthras geustured to a figure standing by the curtains, hidden relatively well in shadow.
(Alex) alex for the first time noticed a man in a dark suit and tie standing out of the way by the curtains." Of course. sorry to disturb you." alex walked out the doors of the living room and decided that he would go for jog.
Anthras stood up and grabbed the manila file folder off of the table in front of him. shaking Nates hand he walked him to the door. Anthras took out a cell phone and handed it to him. "call me with this phone if you find anything else before tonight. if all goes well... Carter should be "retiring" tomorrow. Have a good one Nate." Anthras took the folder and ran up the stairs to his room and grabbed a rather long case from out of the top of his closet and then came back down.
finding his way back up to his private room where he had played the sax earlier he set the case on a table. he opened the case up and in it was a actual Sekisumi Masanao katana. also inside the case was a pair of black fatigue pants and a matching muscle shirt. taking out the katana he placed it and the fatigues on the table. he put the case down behind the bar and dressed in the pants and shirt, slipping the katana into a loop at his side. he then pulled out his sax and startd playing... ((( im waiting for night)))

Riza finished her breakfast and headed out. She saw Jean in the car and called out to him.
"Where are you going?" she asked, her eyes shining with a feminine worry that would never had been there during her military days.

Three empty beer cans sat on the end table next to the chaise lounge. A cigarette had burned from tip to filter, leaving a gray snake of ash hanging from it's end. He was snoring lightly...he hadn't drank enough to snore like a dragon yet. A small, almost helpless whimper escaped his twitching lips.... ///:/// "No," he protested weakly. His voice fell flat and had a dimensionless sound, as if it were wrapped in cotton. "I don't want to go back here!" The dream added more detail each time he had it. This time he realized he wasn't running backward from an Ishballan man. He was being carried by an Ishballan man. And he was...small. He saw the red, fearful eyes...and heard sirens. Beams of light scanned across the blanket of moonlit snow. There was a slightly shorter figure running next to them, who glanced from under a hooded wool shawl. Black hair fell haphazardly over striking gold eyes, also fear-filled. 'Nonsense,' he thought to himself, 'I've never been that afraid in my life!' Black-uniformed men crunched through the snow toward them. Guns were drawn. He was snatched from the arms of the Ishballan man, who dropped to his knees, arms out. Tears flowed down his face. The figure next to him also dropped to their feet and clasped their hands together. A soldier yanked the hood back to reveal....a woman. A beautiful Drachman native with sooty black hair and pale yellow eyes. "P-please...." the Ishballan begged, "please...don't hurt our son!" The woman was sobbing pitifully, terrified of the soldiers. The soldier replied in a calm voice. "Don't worry...we will be sure your son finds a good home." With no further word, he lifted a gun and put a bullet into the foreheads of the fleeing pair. Zolf felt something warm hit his face. Something red and warm that ran into his eyes. He screamed as he reached his hands out toward the couple with the dead eyes, and the blood ran into his eyes, turning their pale gold to red. He heard the sound of his own laughter and turned to face the soldier. He saw his own grinning face, maniacal eyes that were the tell-tale red of an Ishballan. The red-eyed version of himself said only two words: "Kin slayer." and his lips curled up like a scythe, splitting his face into an inhumanly large grin. His teeth were covered in blood as he chuckled.
///::///
He sat bolt upright, screaming and pressing his tattooed palms against thin air. His chest heaved and sweat dripped down his face. He gasped and choked for air and his heart hammered hard and painfully in his chest. He slowly dropped his raised hands and let out a sigh of relief. It was over...It's a lie...just a dream. |

Jean couldn't hear her over he car engine, yet he knew the look in her eyes, something he'd never have seen if they hadn't come to this world. Worry.
He mouthed the word 'work' before giving her a winner's smile as if to reassure her she needn't worry. She would though, most probably because of Markus, wondering where he'd disappeared to or why he's suddenly covered from head to toe in dirt.
---------------------------------------
Passing some old guy in an Audi, Denny turned off the highway, heading into the residential area, houses, stores, schools and parks on all sides.
A few minutes and he'd be home.
He had plans too, oh yes.
First he'd watch his soaps, one was coming to a dramatic climax, then he'd sit in the backyard, beer in hand and enjoy the sun.
It wasn't much, but atleast he knew what he was going to do.

Barry scratched the back of his neck.
"Well...There's Martel, she's the gal with the tattoo. Arden and Nikolai are her kids, with Greed as the father. Greed is....well, used to be...not exactly what you would call a human." He paused. "Envy is the same, he's the guy with the spiky greenish-black hair, whatever you do don't question his sexuality, he can be quite an ass when he wants to. Potatoe-head here is also the same, he used to devour much more than just food in amestris, if you get my hint. I don't know if you've met Dante...young woman, dark hair cut just below her ears. She used to be the leader of the gang that Envy and the other weirdos were in, her husband is Scar, the big ishbal priest guy. They have a kid too, a girl. Kimblee...I'd guess by your reaction in the kitchen that you know who he is."
He paused again, scratching his chin.
"Have I forgotten anyone? Ah well, doesn't matter really. We're a mixed bunch, killers and religious peace-makers the same. I myself used to be nothing but a soul sealed to a suit of armour before I came here, I think the Elric kid's younger brother is the same too."

Sarai paid close attention to Barry as he gave a summary profile of the residents.
"Well," she said, "you would know better than I would. But still...he's so adorable!" she gave Gluttony's cheeks a playful pinch and planted a small kiss on top of his head. She turned back to Barry, "And I promised him waffles, so...waffles he will have."
Gluttony waddled after her, finger in mouth and she turned at the kitchen door, "Barry, do you think you could give me a hand? I promised bacon and eggs too." she smiled, "And I'll make extra if you're hungry."
She heard a muffled cry through the closed window and glanced out. She gave a satified 'hmph!' as she noticed Kimblee sweating and his chest heaving. "Serves him right!" she said, "No rest for the wicked."

Roze had been gone for a while. That much was certain. However, she was now returning to the house, her hair never really changing much from when she left- except it was now a darker shade of pink to match the dark red hair that she had. She sighed, her normal white clothes taking a darker turn- almost all black, now. She lugged bags on either arm as she passed into the house, and heading towards an unused room. She needed some privacy for this, and ignored anyone she walked past, unless they barged in later in the room she entered.
Once inside, she took the items out of the bag and set them on the ground. It included a mortar and pestle, a sharp, bone-cutting knife, some random herbs, and a book labeled- "Alchemic concoctions for intermediates." She turned to a random page, and looked down the page, shaking her head before turning to a new page and nodded to herself. She reached around to get to her herb bag, and took some leaves out- tea leaves, to be exact. She placed a hand under her chin thoughtfully before taking the knife and cutting it in half...
*Hikari*
Krystal wondered what she was doing here, in this place. It was so different than home, and she didn't think she could even use her Runology in this place. Not that she had tried- because if it had succeeded, it would have been bad news for her. She heard of a building with a bunch of wierd get-togethers and roommates that had appeared pretty recently, so she decided to try and find them. Not that it was very hard, since she followed a rather odd-haired lady to the house. She found it quite... interesting, thinking she might recognize some people from her world. So she did find the place. Taking a deep breath, she stepped forward onto the lawn, wondering what she would do now...

"I'm bored" Nikolai said, having been playing Mario Kart Double Dash with Dahlia for a while. He unplugged his controller and left the room, heading downstairs.
The young boy walked down the stairs, pausing when he saw Roze. "W...What are you doing here?" he asked, stuttering slightly.

*Roze*
Roze looked up from her work when the child spoke up. "Oh... hey... I was just studying what the Earth people call "Alchemy." I mean... it wouldn't hurt to be prepared, right?" she said, turning back to her work, grabbing an oak seed, breaking it with the knife. She payed no more attention to the child, unless he talked some more. She was busy trying to measure out this potion... and it required her concentration. She didn't even really think of who the child was. She was too engrossed in her work.

Nikolai stared at the night in horror, before screaming and running away. He slammed into Gluttony's stomach and decided to hide behind the fat man. "Please help me" he pleaded to the bald man. "She's gonna kill me".

Dante greeted her neighbor with a curt nod, her eyes on the assignment book in front of her. Her mind was clearly elsewhere, and judging from the annoyed expression on her face, it was probably not a pleasant place. She came into school in relatively high spirits because she thought it would be her last time coming in on the weekend, but thanks to her sadistic employer she would be spending the rest of the year here.
"Please pass up your assignment from last week. If it isn't complete, you'll be receiving detention on Monday."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Magrace frowned at his question. He was about to chide him for being so foolish, but decided against it when he noticed that he realized how stupid it was.
"No, we shall be using the child to keep Scar out of our hair. You are free to depart whenever you please. Do not contact us again unless it is absolutely necessary," he answered. "Now leave us be. We need our rest."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Eltana raised a brow when he noticed how frightened Nikolai was. "...Is Dante back all ready?"

Nikolai shook his head slightly. "It's not Dante. It's that lady with the pink bangs who lived here a little while ago. She's got a knife" the boy said in a frightened whisper.
-------------------------
"Yes, sir" Mikey said, walking out of the room. He then proceeded to walk to his spare bedroom and begin to get dressed for his trip.
-------------------
Kevin handed his assignment in, then took a seat next to a young boy with a platnium blond faux-hawk.
"Why'd you spray the science teacher with the extinguisher?" the boy asked Kevin, raising an eyebrow.
"I told you, Lional, his beard caught fire. What was I supposed to do, let him burn?" Kevin responded, rolling his eyes.

Dante ignored the conversation going on in the back of the room. Once all of the papers reached her desk, she began flipping through them to check if everyone handed them in. As she skimmed over them, she frowned when she realized one was missing. Hoping she simply skipped over it, she checked through again, but it was nowhere to be frowned. It looked like she would have to interact with the bane of her existence.
Sighing, she looked out at the children before her. "Maxwell, your assignment is missing."
A morbidly obese child looked up at her, his thumb stuck in his right nostril. He had large glasses and his pudgy face was covered with acne. His hair was orange and styled like a bowl cut, and he wore a tight button shirt that looked way too small on him. He wore a bow tie and a pair of rainbow suspenders, adding to his extremely awkward appearance. He stared at her blankly, unsure of what to say.
"Maxwell? Your assignment?" she asked again, her tone taking on a dangerous edge.
Maxwell stared at her for a few more moments, then pulled his finger out of his nose and opened his desk. He pulled out a sheet of paper that was covered in peanut butter and some sticky yellow substance, then waddled up to her and placed it on her desk. Nodding awkwardly, he walked back to his desk, almost tripping over his feet on the way there.
She stared at the paper, her nose wrinkled in disgust. "Ugh."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Eltana raised a brow, surprised that no one had told him. "Rose? She's harmless. Don't tell me you still think she was the one that hurt you three years ago?"

Nikolai nodded, stepping out from behind Gluttony. "Of course she was. I remember her doing it" the young child said. He glanced at his sister, who had just entered the room. Arden was simply leaning again the doorway, watching everything unfold.
------------------
After dressing in a simple shirt and black jeans, Mikey headed out of the house and stepped into his car. He winced at the sunlight, but quickly rubbed it off and drove away. He had a mission to complete for his master. He was going to make Magrace proud of him.

Eltana raised his coffee cup to his lips, taking a small sip. He was honestly shocked that no one revealed the truth to the boy yet. It seemed cruel to make him live in fear of such a sweet woman like Rose. Of course, being the sadistic person that he was, that only amused him, but he felt that the boy had a right to know. Besides, he was eager to see his reaction.
"There is much more to that incident than you remember. Despite what you might think, the woman who harmed you that day was not Rose. While the body was indeed hers, there was a different soul inside it at the time."
Pausing for effect, he took another sip of his coffee, then turned his attention back to Nikolai. "Using the Philosopher's Stone, Dante swapped bodies with Rose that morning. She planned on using the rest of the stone to open the Gate of Alchemy, but she needed a child in order to access it. To accomplish this goal, she abducted you and dug a transmutation circle into your stomach with her nails. Unfortunately, her stone deteriorated before she could, and her soul was sent back to her own body. Dante was the one responsible for your suffering, not Rose."

"So....when are the men in the white coats coming for you again?" Nikolai asked, rasing an eyebrow.
----------------
Mikey smirked as he reached the street he was looking for. He parked his car a few houses away from his target then headed towards the back of the house. Once there, he threw a stone through a window and hid beneath a bush that was close to the fence.
