| 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. |

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." |

'Ed' had somehow gotten lost, and ended up near the Elric Apartments anyway. He's been thinking way too much by now. William's on his good side, after he thought about it. William was at least sympathetic. He wishes he could talk to William again, but he's thinking he'll probably run across another Ed. There seemed to be way too many of Pipsqueak around for his liking.
He sits down underneath a tree and plays with a few vials he had in his pocket. He'd forgotten he had those. |

| A new resident? |
[May. 4th, 2011|08:36 pm] |
Edward has visited a few times, mostly as an observer, something new to break up the monotony of his day.
After about a month, he's long-since heard of the apartments, and debated about moving from his comfortable home outside of Eichstandt to them. On one hand, that would mean he would have to give up his hermit ways to get a job and pay rent. Which did not appeal much to him. On the other, wasting away is not what Alfons would've wanted for him, and even more importantly, the longer he stays hidden in Germany, the higher the chance the National Socialists will find him.
Ultimately, it is this threat that makes him decide, quite rationally, to move to the Nexus. The first thing he did was secure a job. It wasn't bad work, it didn't pay very well, but what he'd heard about the apartments, it didn't have to pay terribly well to cover his expenses. It paid enough.
So he's knocking on the office door now, to secure his place to live. |

"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." |

Well, residents, this is something you never thought you'd see. In the gardens, on one of the benches, is a young man, about twenty-one or so, with short, slicked back brown hair and a pair of glasses. In his lap is an open Bible and wrapped around one hand is a rosary with a shining red stone in the center of the cross. The man has a white collar underneath the collar of his shirt, indicating that he's a priest. Under the collar is evidence of a necklace chain.
So who wants to harass the neighborly priest? |
