[Fletcher is ADHD today. You can respond to him by voice, or find him outside in Sector 4 walking his puppy.]

Today is gonna be a really great day, isn't it? Hey, Brother, Al, you should come help out in the garden today! It'll be really fun!

And everyone else, you're gonna take my and Al's alchemy class when the school starts up, right? We're gonna do our best and try to teach everyone really well!

--oh, hey, Cornus. Looks like you need a walk.

[As soon as the video cuts on, Ashton can be seen sitting in the club. His headband is back in place, along with the rest of his long-sleeved black outfit, sans cloak. Next to him, on the counter, is a mug of tea, and an empty plate. Just a little snack after breakfast.

There are no dragon heads to be seen above his shoulders, and he looks... happy. Maybe not bouncy, giddy, or even very pleased with himself, but there's no hint of all the troubles the past week or more had brought to him.]

Hello, all! [A little wave.]

People sure seem to be cheery this morning, so I figured... I should be, too! [He held up a few CD jewel cases.] I couldn't figure out how to get these music discs to play, exactly, so I just thought I would just come down to the club and get the robots to do it. They're all from Reira's world, um.. [He looked in thought a moment.] Earth, I think? [And for a moment, he looked uneasy, and to no one in particular he mumbles:] I'm still a little hazy...

[Suddenly, he stood up.] A-anyhow, music should be shared, right? Otherwise it's not good! So... I'll be here for a while.

[Guess what? Someone's got his ball and chain off! And as a celebration GIR will be in the kitchen...making things! It's not clear exactly what he's stirring up in a bowl at the moment, but it kind of looks like goopy pancake batter. Actually, it's biscuit mix! Very...watery biscuit mix. And with how fast and happily he's stirring he's getting it all over the counter and floor along with flour and a bunch of dropped eggs which...he didn't even use; he just wanted to play with them for a while.]

YAY! [He claps appreciatively before going back to stirring and humming a song which only has one word in it: doom. Occasionally a "doomy," but that's about it. The best song in the world, of course! ...Someone should probably do something before he reaches the oven.]

[It's a poetry reading session with Envy! Obviously the words are read off rather dramatically before any commentary is brought up!]

"I died so many years ago. You can make me feel Like it isn't so. And why you come to be with me. I think I finally know."

Isn't that just touching? Who knew that someone could be such a sap on the inside.

[The sound of a page flipping and then Envy cackling.]

"My heart expands, 'tis grown a bulge in it. Inspired by your beauty... Effulgent."

Seriously? Who could even write this crap? Sounds like someone in love. Augh. Love... It's so sickening.

[Flipping a few more pages~]

"With nothing but my heart at stake, I ferry forth without a break. To seek my love most undeserved -"

[Forget it. Envy's lost in a fit of laughter.]

Someone needs a life! Ha ha ha ha ha! There's a more, if anyone cares.~

( He's gone. )


[Winry made her way down to the kitchen, having promised to make Al one of Gracia Hughes'-style apple pies today. However, first, she stopped to make a bit to eat before she worked on the pie. It wasn't not a big breakfast. Just a couple muffins and a couple cups of tea.

As she started work on her pie, her worries just dissolved away. Really, she's feeling better than she has since that homunculus showed up, now. It's like he doesn't even matter anymore. Somehow ever since breakfast she's just been feeling great.

...And why should she make just one pie? Over the morning hours, she counted out some more baking apples, cut them up, rolled out the crusts...]

[Now she's up to her sixth hot pie pulled out of the oven. It's way more than she intended (they're really big pies after all), but why not share them? She opens a Video channel with her communicator.]

[Due to the tea's effect her words might come by you a little fast....] Hi everyone, I've baked a lot of apples pies they're all here in the kitchen and they're made from this amazing recipe that Ms. Gracia Hughes gave me and she's really such an amazing woman and mother and a great cook too so I think you'll all love this but don't take too much or else someone might be unable to try it but I guess I can always make more later but I've got a great idea that I need to test out right now! Enjoy!

((OOC: She's had a pretty heavy dose of Komuvitamin E. Beware of sparkles.))
