After speaking with Celena down at the sign, Shou takes her into a portal that just conveniently happens to open above the landlord's desk. She looks over at Celena, and smiles, making a gesture to allow her to do the honors of causing heart attacks. |

Some time after the talent show, Al decided to pay a visit to his landlord both to bring up giving his brother's alternate permission to know the code along with bringing up something else. May as well get multiple things accomplished in one trip.
When he got to the door of the office, he knocked to let Edward know he was there, and then quickly went in to get away from the cold, closing the door behind him. "Brr. Cold out there." |

| Christmas...in May? |
[Apr. 25th, 2012|09:59 pm] |
Shou had been talking to the gate for a long time, and decided she was going to play santa claus. She knew that Christmas was on the twenty fifth, she just didn't know what month. So she decided just to wing it and give presents anyway. And she had certainly spared no expense in doing so. The first person on her list was of course, the Landlord, because he just loves being bothered.
So, using her new powers, she sticks her head out of the ceiling above him, and looks down, grinning. |

Anna stepped through a portal into the Nexus, carrying two sizable cases, one more like an oversized suitcase, and the other longer, clearly a specialty case of some sort. Both were a dull, brushed reinforced metal, and between the cases and their contents, deceptively heavy. Anna had no qualms about cheating with a levitation spell to take the bulk of the weight.
She walked over to the second apartment and released the handle of the more suitcase-like one, letting it hover in midair as she punched in the security code and opened the door before grasping the handle again.
Then upstairs to the second floor, and again, she released the handle of the case to knock on door 8-B. |

Ed arrives back on the grounds in a fury, PINing back from the Sign near the landlord's office. He barely resists the urge to just...lash out at something, anything, and get his mind into some form of coherency before going to talk to Edward about this new complication in the Nexus.
If this influx of Envies turns into a trend, he is going to have WORDS with the multiverse.
After a minute or so of standing outside and seething with rage, he goes over to the office and opens the door. "We have a problem." |

Later that evening, when most of her household was turning in, Riza went outside to the gardens with a little book light and a small pot of hot tea, relaxing on a bench and reading.
She knew Roy wouldn't like be there for several more hours, but it was a nice night, quiet and still, and she knew she could safely relax there and not worry about letting her guard down. Black Hayate slept by her feet, waking now and then at random little noises, trotting off into the shrubbery to investigate before coming back and settling back down. He seemed a bit confused, but not terribly so.
Around one, she went back inside to refill her teapot and pick up the next volume in the series she was reading. One by one, lights in the buildings went off as apartments went dark, the various residents turning in. Lights were still on in some of them, particularly on the second floor of the second building where Roy lived. The family worked around his schedule, and this was their evening, rather than the early morning hours. |

| A trip to the Nexus |
[Aug. 11th, 2010|04:44 pm] |
"It's only for a few days, Brother," Celena assured Allen for the fifth time as she carefully folded another dress into her smallest travel chest.
Allen sighed. "A few days in a place you won't tell me, with a friend I don't know about."
Celena gave her brother a weary look. "I will be perfectly fine. My friend is trustworthy," she promised, giving her brother a peck on the cheek to reassure him. Or at least win him over.
It wasn't working. Allen frowned. "If she's trustworthy, why can't you tell me her name?" No, he was not figuring it could be a male friend. He'd be scandalized that his little sister was running off to spend a few days unsupervised with a male.
"I choose to keep this friendship secret," she explained. "It could do me ill at court."
Allen walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. "You also know I would never do anything to ruin you. I keep your secrets, Celena."
Sigh. Celena looked at her brother, feeling rather guilty about keeping such a secret from him now. Millerna and Dryden would give her grief over how hard she and Van had worked to put up the appearance of pure disdain for each other, only to be secretly friends afterwards, but Allen would not, and she knew it.
"Very well," she said, crouching down and locking the chest. "If you really must know, I am meeting with Van Fanel."
That seemed to surprise Allen. "Van? I thought you two hated each other."
Celena gave him a wry look. "We worked together to ensure the nobility did not try to marry us off to each other. The animosity could only last so long under such circumstances. Don't mistake me, a marriage would still be a terrible idea, but the animosity has been resolved."
The look Allen gave her was shrewd, as if he were plotting something, but it vanished before she could fully process it. "It had to do with-"
"Dilandau?" Celena finished for him, then sighed and sat down on the trunk. "Yes, that was the source of it. Apparently, I was not too terribly annoying for a noble once he realized there is a difference between that creature and myself." She had a rather dry tone at that.
"How generous of him," Allen said just as dryly. "Well, now that I know who you're meeting, I'm not quite so worried. Where will you be meeting him?"
Good question. How to field that one. "No place on Gaea." She smiled.
Allen's eyes crossed. "Surely not the Mystic Moon."
Celena laughed. "No, no, nothing like that. Would you care to see it? It's a fascinating place. It's called the Nexus, where all worlds meet."
Allen shooed Celena off her trunk and hauled it up. "I'll escort you, my lady," he said with a smile.
"Cedric can handle that, Brother," Celena tried to protest.
Her protests fell on deaf ears. "I'm sure he can, but it's a knight's duty to see his lady to her destination safely. You don't let me spoil you that much, indulge me, Celena."
Another sigh. "Very well, Brother." She smiled. "Thank you." |

After showing the newest resident to his apartment, Riza knew she had to tell her husband as soon as possible. Since escorts weren't necessary inside the individual buildings themselves, Riza let William return to his wife, and headed up to the second floor where Ed had gone to fix up the shelves for Sheska. Riza knocked on the door and waited. |

Al escorted Delilah home with a German Catholic priest in tow. This hadn't been his idea, but unfortunately, it would seem his sister-in-law knew little or nothing of the religious stance on relationships like his brother's with Alfons back in Germany, and seemed quite oblivious that she was inviting home a potential powder keg. But she'd spoken up before he could say anything, and he couldn't quite take back her offer to bring him here so he might secure lodging, not without sounding like a royal asshole in the process.
That was something his brother was better at anyway, so he'd let Ed handle this if it became a problem.
They walked around to the office entrance, where he expected to see his brother and Riza. Well, he did see his brother and Riza...just... not the brother he was expecting.
"New potential resident," he announced as he stepped in ahead of Delilah and the priest. He hoped Riza could interpret the 'well aw shit' look he briefly shot her at that. |

Sarah PINs in directly from the question area to her apartment, taking several minutes to have a very quiet and very, very needed freak out. After about ten minutes she knocks on the door to her homunculus fiancee's apartment, finally calm enough to hopefully not make him freak out any more than he already will at this news.
Oh God oh God oh God whyyyyyyy. |

On Havoc's first trip back to the Nexus after his promotion, he heads straight to ![[info]](https://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) elric_apts. He's already celebrated with all his friends back home. Breda grabbed him at the end of the day and they all went out together. However, he hasn't a chance to let his best friend in the Nexus know.
He puts out his cigarette as he rings the doorbell and waits for an answer. |
