handsforhealing | 031: Keep Moving Forward

[ Winry has just spent the last few days sulking. She hasn't come out of her room much and hasn't talked to anymore. ]

Right... Gotta get out of this slump... Come on, Winry, cheer up!

Sorry if anyone was wondering where I got off to. I'm back and feeling a lot better now! I guess the seasons changing got me in a slump or something. It's getting really hot out too. I wonder what sort of summer games the games club will be doing?
Speaking of, there hasn't been a game in a while, has there? I wonder why....

Hey, Ed, wanna come over for a bit? I, uh, remembered a bit about automail and I think I should give your arm a tune-up! And... I wanted to talk to you about something...

[private; hackable]
I can't believe it... I know I told Al that I wouldn't keep secrets from him anymore... But how can I tell him that? This is such an important memory... but I don't have the heart to tell him about it...

Would Al even want to remember something like this...?
And Ed... I wonder if he remembers too... If he does I can understand why he wouldn't tell Al or I... And I'm afraid to ask him about. I don't think he'd want to remember something like this either...
What should I do?

[ 8% of Winry's leftover 12% of memories spent on completing almost her entire childhood, namely her memories of Trisha dying, Ed and Al going to train with Izumi, the failed transmutation, details about armor Al, the military offer, and Ed getting automail. 15% total, only 13% spent. ]

This post is 34 words short of the 120 necessary to get Winry off the warned list.

Eeek! She's on the warned list! @_@

Edited!!!

Okay, she's good now.

I think the change of seasons may have affected me a little as well. XD When it gets too warm, I feel like I don't want to move. I am glad to hear you are feeling a little better now though.

Yeah...

But hey, it's summer, right? It's really nice out. Maybe we should go out and do something for exercise.

*laughs* We could always play soccer again!

Hey, yeah! Soccer sounds like fun! I wonder if we could arrange a game with the Games Club?

I will be certain to ask Rika about it then!

Lady Winry...

Would you like to go out and get some fresh air with me?

hmm?
Oh... yeah. Sure...
I'd really like that...

Wonderful! Shall we go for a walk? I'd like to pick some fresh flowers for our room.

... Yeah. Fresh flowers would be nice...

Thank you... A walk is just what I need right now...

They help to brighten anything up!

I thought as much. It's a beautiful day, so let's enjoy it, hmm?

*ears perk up about this "giving your arm a tune-up" business*

Hmm. What's "automail"? Is it anything like a...high-tech prosthetic, say?

*if Winry has super trained ears or eyes, she might notice Vash's mechanical left arm without him even bringing it up*

((I think it's about time Vash find out he has a machine gun in his arm, lolllllll This'll be awesome))

hmm?
Oh yeah, it is sort of like that...

...?

Sort of like your arm.

W-whoa. o.o Sh-she could tell with just a glance? Scaryyyyy

Uh... Heh, yeah! *holds up his left arm, flexing his fingers* I can't remember how I got this thing, but it's been amazing. Even though I can't feel things with it, everything else about it acts just like a normal arm.

W-wow!!! It really is like automail! Though the frame... the design... this isn't like Ed's at all...!!!

Mind if I take a peek? I could give you some free maintenance~!

F-FREE?! SERIOUS?! 8O

Ah, um, please!! Thank you very much! *rolls up his sleeve hastily*

Eh? Sure. What is it?

[ she's a bit jumpy. Winry isn't sure if she should talk about Al's armor body, or the failed transmutation. ]

Oh um, it's nothing really! Just, ye know, I should be tuning up your arm, right? The gears'll get outta place and it'll start slowing down!! So um...
