[#2] Figuring Things Out

[handsforhealing]

Well, I think it's safe to say I've settled in as much as I can. I haven't met my "father" or "mother" yet, but I'm not having any problems with them and Charlotte's nice, so I don't see any reason to complain. Ed got me a screwdriver so I've been taking things apart. The toasters are really interesting on the inside!

But I can't just stand around and wait for Ed and Al to find a way out of here. I know they're trying really hard, and I really want to help them, but I doubt they'd be thrilled to let me get involved. Does anyone know of any way I can help out? I guess my only "talent" is with mechanics, and a bit of medicine... But I want to try! I want to help them!

[ Filtered to Ed and Al ]
How've you both been? Ed, thanks so much for Friday~. It was fun. We should do something like that again sometime. Maybe Al could come too? Even if it's just walking around together...

[ To Elysia and Roy ]
Are you settling in okay? Sorry that I couldn't be much help.

Elysia, do you mind if I come over later? We can play and draw pictures if you want. Has everyone been taking good care of you? Ed's not boring when he comes over, is he?

Oh, did you now? That's great. Then we can make a lot of pretty pictures with the best colours, right?

I've got some too. Where should we go to draw?

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

Yea! They'll be the best pictures ever!

Ummm...Lets draw in the kitchen cuz if we get hungry, we can eat!

[With that, Elysia turns and runs towards the kitchen.]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Okay, sounds perfect.


What sort of things do you want to draw, Elysia? We've got a lot of paper.

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

I wanna draw you, and me, and Ed, and Al! Umm...Flowers too!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

All right, sounds good. I'm sure sure Ed and Al will want to see the picture when you're done.

And I'll draw you, me, and... automail!

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

I bet that'll be a really nice picture too! And, and everyone'll like it!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Elysia. I hope they like it too.

So, is your family here fun? Have they been good pretend parents and siblings?

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

[She leans towards Winry and whispers.] I dunno, they act really funny.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they can be a bit weird. You just have to be better at this than they are, okay? You're doing really good so far.

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! I'm tryin' my best! I'll do even better 'kay?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

You're already the best there is at this, Elysia. Just keep being as good as you are.

So, how's the picture coming on your side?

[pitchur-perfect.livejournal.com]

I will!

My pictures really good! See?
