[ Winry's been pretty quiet for the last few days. She was depressed for a bit. She moped around after being released when Christmas ended. She may have cried into her pillow. But then she got her regains. ]

Geez, I didn't even get to keep the workshop! Crappy system... After all of that, they could have at least left it. I could really use to do some tinkering right now.

Thanks to everyone who helped me... over Christmas. It's okay, I'm all right now. It was stupid to cry over something like that... It was stupid of me to let them get to me...  Though, I am glad for these things they sent me. If they meant it as a sick joke then it's not working.

...

Hey, Keiichi. I'm gonna take care of supper tonight. If you don't speak up then I'm making hamburgers. You've got fifteen minutes to object before I go buy fresh ingredients.

[ Winry is off to buy groceries to clear her head. She's wearing her earrings again and Ed's coat, both of which she just regained. ]
Geez. Ed, this coat is pathetic against the cold. When I see that idiot next I'm going to have to have a serious talk with him. What's the point of this stupid thing? [ Yeah, she's talking to herself. ]

[Kay catches up with Winry on her way to the grocery store~]

"Hey Winry! What's up?"

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Kay!



Hey! How've you been?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

[She thinks that over for a second before responding with a smile.]

"Better."

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

... Yeah, same here.

Did you get a package the other day too?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I did! You should come over and see what I got, you're really gonna love it!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Oooh, what is it? Is it like that DVD thing? That was amazing!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Before we were just watching it on a laptop, but this time I got back a DVD player and a TV that it'll actually hook up to! The screen's way bigger, and the resolution's a lot better too! The technology is at least 50 or 60 years ahead of what Mayfield has to offer!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

EEEE~!!! Do you really? Omigosh, that's amazing! Yes, yes yes! I want to see it! Wow, Kay, you come from somewhere really amazing!!!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"I hooked it all up right away, so it's ready to go whenever you want!"

[haha did Kay just ruin Keiichi's hamburger dinner tonight XD

oh, also, check your messages!]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

R-really? O-oh... Maybe... I can do my shopping later...!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I can help you out with it if you want so you can get done faster, and then we can go over to my place. I was thinking of setting it up over at Takeshi's, but I didn't really want to impose any more than I already am.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

That would be great! I really shouldn't skip out on making dinner after I said I would anyway, I guess.


And maybe I'll get to finally meet Takeshi, hm?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd feel bad if your family went hungry tonight because of me. And I can definitely introduce you to Takeshi! He's really friendly, so I'm sure he'd love to hang out and watch TV.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

That would be great! Yeah, I really owe it to Keiichi after all. Though, my mom and sibling are both drones now. I won't object to leaving the house for a bit.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's like that at my house too, but with the added fun of my dad being a jerk and a murderer. That's why I just live over at Takeshi's place most of the time.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

A murder? Geez, Kay, are you okay?! He doesn't do anything weird to you, right? If you ever can't stay at Takeshi's the be sure to come to my place, okay?

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he's never killed me. But I don't really feel comfortable around him ever since I found out.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I guess I can relate to that. I can swear that my old father switched the big toes on my feet one night. That was weird.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Whoa, what? How did he do that?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Don't want to know.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"...But they're back to normal now, right?"

[Glancing down curiously at Winry's boots.]

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha...ha... I sure hope so!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

"You mean you don't know?"

[who the heck was her old dad, anyway o_O]

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

[Kind of walking around town but stops when he sees her] Hey, Winry!

Action

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Oh, Zidane!

How are you?

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm doing fine. How about you? [Yeah, worried about what happened after he heard her over the phone the other day]

Action

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

... I'm fine. They can't keep me down for long.

Besides! I got some stuff from home back, so I can't complain anymore, right?

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

That's a good attitude, Winry.

Heh. You did, too?

Re: Action

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yep! I got my earrings back, and Ed's coat. Somehow.

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Ed's coat? Is that what you're wearing now? [Zidane secretly thinks the coat looks tacky and depressing]

Action

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yep! Though if you ask me, it's pretty tacky and stupid and not very warm. Dunno how Ed can stand this thing.

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's a little more inclined to be polite towards a pretty girl but now Winry has given her honest opinion about it, Zidane doesn't really care now so he laughs] Wow, he wears that cheap and depressing-looking thing during the winter?!

Action

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

He put fluff on the one he wore in Briggs... I hope that he made it thicker too.

Geez, what'll I do with that idiot.

Action

[ohlookboobs.livejournal.com]

Fluff? He was that desperate to wear it?

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Hey, whatever you want. Now that I'm not stuck working at that burger joint, my hate for burgers is starting to go away, anyways.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

You don't need to worry about that! Those burgers were pretty lame anyway, but I'm gonna try some new spices so that the meat tastes less like greasy cardboard.

How's your new job been, anyway?

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Could be worse, I guess. I spend most of my time doing nothing or talking to people.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Better than the nonsense they teach at the schools here, I bet.

Then again, you're still working for that place. Must be tough, never getting the leave school.

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Most of my friends are there, so it's not all bad, even if it's a bit weird being one of the 'adults' now.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I bet! Though it's good you still get to be with your friends at school.

How serious are the jobs here anyway?

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

Eh, so long as you do enough work so the drones get tricked, they're not that bad.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I see.

I mean like, I heard some people became police officers, right? I've never heard of crime in Mayfield, though... from drones, anyway.

Maybe I'm just over thinking that.

[k1-sauce.livejournal.com]

[He shakes his head.]

I don't even want to know what that's about. I hope Grady isn't trying to recruit people.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Me neither...

Guess there's nothing to do with that but trust the new officers to stay on our side.

Anyway, glad to hear that work is... well, working out.
