Everything had been set up, seats enough for everyone in the apartment, and then some. A special system was set up so that Ed could watch comfortably from the third floor of the temple, two speakers set up, as well as a monitor for him to view. A large stage had been set up on the grounds, and a large projector screen set up. Seems that the first event, the shooting competition would be taking place behind the temple actually, to make room for it. The shooting range was about 100 meters long, with rows of targets at 10, 30, 50, 75, and 100 meters. Contestants could use whatever small arms weapon they wanted, though for the sake of competition, no scopes were allowed.
Nazrin, Kyouko, and Kogasa were at the gates at the top of the steps, welcoming people as they arrived. |

You know, Edward, you really shouldn't invoke a devil, lest she appear.
Aya returned from Amestris, and, after a brief stop at the temple to grab some forms from them on an unrelated matter, headed over towards the office. As she approached, she could hear singing from inside the office. One voice she picked out immediately, and the other was unfamiliar. A woman's voice. But, more importantly, why in the world was the chief singing?
She knocks on the door. |

| Tricking a certain Elric into what he's been avoiding |

((:P I had this idea first, so there. I even talked to Caity about it. BEFORE the other thread. So there.))
Trisha was excited for this talent contest of the temple's. Oh, they were friendly sorts, bringing all sorts of excitement with them! First a fabulous feast, and now a talent show!
She decided right away she wanted to sing, and specifically, she wanted a duet with her son, the landlord. But how to convince him to sing? He had the voice for it, certainly, inherited it from her. She couldn't get her own boy to sacrifice his teenaged dignity to do it, but the landlord might cave.
She decided to have Al help her. Between his mother and his brother, that man didn't stand a chance.
She baked up an apple cake and chocolate chip cookies to butter the boys up- their favorites- and headed downstairs, knocking on the door to the landlord's apartment. |

By now, Al has gotten himself and his brother sufficiently settled in and had let the idea percolate long enough that he decided to go visit his mother.
After he let his brother know where he was going and leaving him curled up in his usual spot by the window, Al went down to Trisha's floor.
After a moment to steel his nerves a bit so he wouldn't lose said nerve and go back upstairs, he knocked on the door and waited. |

After pointing things out outside, Al takes the new alts into the first apartment building to go upstairs.
"Ed, I'm telling you right now that Dad's likely also in the apartment assuming he isn't out doing something. So behave," he warns before knocking on the door. |

After Izumi was done visiting with the Collective, Ed takes her over to the office, loaning her one of Sarah's coats for the trip.
"If he's not the one in there, it'll likely be Riza," he tells her. "He got married to the Riza Hawkeye from his world."
"I see. And all this is his doing?" Izumi says, taking another look around. Now that she has a coat on to keep her warm, she's taking more time to look at her surroundings.
Ed nods. "Yeah. Other people maintain the grounds, but he's the one that set this place up. Next place on the list is a gym so we'll have a place to train when the weather is too nasty out for it to be a good idea to do so outside."
By now, they've reached the office and Ed knocks on the door and opens it; poking his head in to smile brightly at his alternate. "You'll never guess who Sarah brought home." |

| Excuses. |

Envy had been thinking very hard about what the landlord had told him- he still thought of Ed as the landlord, and not a brother, it was very hard to think of him as family. Ed wasn't high on Envy's "consider as family" list.
He didn't like this "wait" business. He could be impatient when he wanted something. That was part of the jealousy that Dante had created in him. He knew somewhere he was still pretty far gone from Dante, but damnit, he was lonely, and he wanted his family back. And frankly, he still thought, screw Ed!
He had to make up some sort of an excuse to go see Hohenheim, and there were a few things he needed to talk out like the mature adult he was trying to be. He still felt sick looking at Hohenheim, but he would bring that up, too.
So he went outside. And marveled it was finally snowing. He shapeshifted a black jacket and skintight black pants on, before picking up some of the accumulation and watching it sit there in his hand. He put it down, and drew a small Xerxian alchemy circle in the snow. He couldn't do anything with it, and it would be covered up in a second, but it felt good.
Then with some dusting of snow on his head and shoulders he went to the first building and knocked on Hohenheim's door. |

Trisha was out in the gardens, enjoying the warm September air, and picking flowers (with Fletcher's permission, of course!) for a lovely arrangement in the apartment.
Anyone wanna stop and say hi? |

| Visiting Hohenheim. |
[Aug. 25th, 2011|09:30 pm] |
Envy had laid low for a few days after talking with the landlord and almost getting his skull smashed in by Alphonse. Being the type to be in denial, he really had not come to terms with his own guilt yet. He'd spent the rest of the night nursing a hangover and vowing to give Greed what for, and then spent the next few days hanging out in Amestris trying to get some affairs in order regarding Dante's hidden assets.
He'd been thinking about what form to show up in when he went to visit Hohenheim and after viewing himself in the mirror as young William, he nearly punched the mirror and changed back into Envy. No form was going to get those memories out of his mind. And Envy was more recognizable, even if his reputation came prepackaged.
He put his rent in a sealed envelope and dropped it in the office's mailbox before going to Hohenheim and Trisha's apartment.
He knocked on Hohenheim's door, wondering how he was going to be received. |

| A broken hot water heater |
[Jan. 23rd, 2011|07:21 pm] |
Trisha sighed, fighting with the tap. After a minute, she gave up and let the water run in the sink, walking over to the small closet that houses the hot water heater. She opened it, looking in at the contraption. She knew nothing about it, except that it obviously Wasn't Working, since there was no hot water to wash dishes with.
Finally, she went to the phone and dialed down to the office. |
