why hello there internet
Hey there LJ
Haven't posted for a while! Been sorta busy with my new classes. This semester shaping up to be a doozy. Taking one more class than I did last semester. Oh well.
In cooler news, one of my classes got cancelled tomorrow! Oh is that only cool to me? Darn.
My little sister will be visiting me on campus tomorrow. It'll be fun, methinks.
Also, updated MiSTBUSTERs, added a whole crapload of MiST and parody. Revamped the design too. Looks cleaner now.
So, if you're looking for parodies and snark on bad fanfiction, that's the place. But enough of my pimping.
Time for a retarded caption pic!
Oh, Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. You are so easy to caption.
ALSO. I'm posting part deux of the FMA fic MiST now. Yeah, this one still hasn't been finished. But my usual co-MiSTer is very busy right now, and I promised that she could do this one. SO I'M POSTING IT HERE. MORE.
“OH! Uhhh Colonel … I was just taking this wretch to the office for some questions and uh…”
“That isn’t nessacery. She lives down the street and has no information about the Ishbalans. I’m sure she would have mentioned that she lives just down the road.”
Tsune: Hey Roy. Does she live down the street? Or maybe just down the road? Oh wait, I know! She lives down the street, right?
Roy: STFU
“Uhhh she might have mentioned it Colonel but I don’t recall…”
“I nearly screamed it in your ear ,” I said in a snotty way.
Tsune: Oooooh…I don’t think I’m going to like you much, missy.
“That’s enough officer, you may go now,” and Roy releases my arm and takes my hand. The officer quickly takes off, what a loser!
Reni: lol loser
We start to walk back to Mrs. May’s house. He’s still holding my hand,
Tsune: EW
that made me blush.
Tsune: …I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
I turned away a little so he wouldn’t notice.
“What were you doing?”
“Playing Kongi,” I hold out the pieces in my other hand.
Tsune: *horrified* Pieces of what? Farm animals?
“Why couldn’t you play in your room or something?”
This made my mad. “I’m almost 16!!
Tsune: Oh great. She’s just the right age to go after any of the main male cast of this show. Hooray.
Why does everyone treat me like I’m so little because I’m not! Mrs. May won’t even let me walk to the store to get bread by myself!!
Mrs. May: She keeps getting lost! And whenever she does make it back, all my money is gone and she’s hopped up on God knows what. Sugar? Plus, no bread!
What is the big deal?!”
Then I remember my eyes.
Tsune: She forgot her eyes?
The odd color of a fiery red-ish violet.
Tsune: OBJECTION!
*art major mode* Fiery-red would be a warm red, closer to orange on the color wheel, whereas reddish-violet would be more of a cool red, obviously due to it’s blue tint. YOUR STUPID EYECOLOR IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY.
“What’s wrong with me?”
Tsune: OH LET ME LIST THE WAYS.
I already knew the answer to that question but it’s so funny to see the way Roy gets all sad.
Tsune: *stare* What a manipulative bitch. Playing with peoples’ sympathy like that! It’s ‘funny to see the way Roy gets all sad’? Well, she musta been laughin’ up a storm when Hughes died!
Kinda sexy too.
Tsune: HUSSY
“Nothing is wrong with you.”
Tsune: HOLD IT! That is a lie and I have evidence to prove it!
Judge: Let’s see that evidence, Miss Tsune!
Tsune: If Reni would just take the Mary Sue test, we’ll have all the proof we need.
I just sigh and realize he’s still holding my hand.
Tsune: Roy, let go of that! You don’t know where it’s been!
Roy:…It appears to be glued to my hand.
My face goes hot
Tsune: Ugh.
Author: OMG ROY IS HOLDING HANDS WITH ME-I MEAN MY OC!
and I’m so glad that we’re on the front steps to Mrs. May’s house. He doesn’t even knock or anything, just barges in. I always liked that about him.
Tsune: What? His rudeness?
Reni: lol it’s hawt
Tsune: Like his misery, I suppose?
Of course he has to put in every flipping detail about the incident and why I shouldn’t be playing in the street.
Tsune: She keeps getting mistaken for a nightwalker!
I was really playing on the curb. I don’t know how people could get the road and the curb mixed up.
Tsune: Didn’t you, earlier in the narrative?
Then they both scolded me and Mrs. Mays sent me up to my room.
I can still here Roy and Mrs. Mays talking down stairs in her parlor. I don’t mean to worry them so. I really am grateful for all they’ve done for me but I don’t want pity
Tsune: *snort* Yeah, that’s why you were milking Roy for it JUST MINUTES AGO.
or a new family or anything. I’m fine living in my small amount of memories.
Tsune: I’m pretty sure memories don’t provide sufficient shelter from the elements, but hey. Whatever.
I decide now is the time
Tsune: TO DIE
and I take out the silk and lay it on my desk. I slowly unwrap the soft blue material and gaze at the picture which lay inside.
Tsune: While crying a single tear, which miraculously stays on her cheek.
My father on the left, his arm around my mothers shoulder and his other hand on my shoulder. My mother to my right, both hands on my other shoulder. And me in the middle, smiling. I’ve never really smiled since that day. If I ever do, there is no feeling behind it.
Tsune: Oh, the clichéd tragedy of it all! Her smiles are empty, and she hides her deep anguish behind her unfeasibly colored eyes! We cannot possibly imagine her pain!
I remember that day at the fair. The last time I saw my mother.
Tsune: Little known fact- Reni’s mother ran off with a carnie.
I know all about my family’s past.
Tsune: SECRET ANGST ALERT
“Reni?”
I looked up and Roy was standing in my doorway. “Uh huh?”
He took my answer as an invitation to come in though it really wasn’t
Tsune: Oh like you care, you trollop.
and propped himself on my bed.
“What do you want now?” I ask coldly, though inside I was thrilled.
Tsune: If she’s thrilled, why not show it? What is the point of being cold?
He thought a moment. “I’m not really sure.”
Tsune: It better not be sex.
Roy: Really now. You think I’d go after that?
The silence that followed was agonizing and hard to bare.
Tsune: The silence was hard to unclothe?
Soon awkwardness set in and I had to say something. “If you don’t want anything then go away.” I didn’t mean to sound so rude.
Tsune: Then why’d you choose to say that? RUDE RUDE RUDE
To my surprise he smiled at this. “You remind me of someone.”
Roy: Every clichéd Mary Sue in existence.
I didn’t answer.
Tsune: She couldn’t deny the TRUTH.
“How’s your alchemy coming?”
Tsune: *groan* She’s an alchemist?
My eyes lit up. Roy’s never asked me that question before! I tried to sound uncaring though.
Tsune: Again, why bother? Ugh, her flimsy ‘I don’t care’ act is fooling nobody!
“It’s fine. I’ve learned a lot.” I pause, unsure if I should say the next part. “I can sort of do alchemy with no circle.”
Tsune: Oh, no. Oh HELL no. You did not just take the ability Edward Elric had to effing go through the gate for. YOU DID NOT.
Again his face looked as though he was deep in thought. “Have you ever considered finding a teacher?”
Wasn’t he full of surprises tonight?
Roy: *pulls a rabbit from his hat* Ta-da!
“I’ve thought about it but Mrs. May doesn’t like alchemy anyway and she’d never let me.”
Tsune: COMMAS. USE THEM.
“You’ve heard of the Elric brothers right?”
Tsune: *with dread* I don’t like where this is going…
DUH! Of course I have! Edward is my hero, next to Roy of course. “Yeah I have.”
“What if I could let you meet them. Edward could help you a lot.”
Tsune: I really don’t like where this is going.
I couldn’t help but sound happy. “Really?”
Sadly he could hear the excitement in my voice too. “Maybe, no promises though.”
Again we didn’t say anything. I just stared at my family picture.
Tsune: God, MORE angst? Do we really need it?
My father was an alchemist.
Tsune: Let me guess. He was a genius, and passed his talent onto his daughter.
I remember him doing some tricks for me. But from the stories I’ve heard, he was great at it.
Tsune: BINGO.
That’s really why I decided to try alchemy. I wanted to make my father proud. Then to my surprise I really enjoyed it and found my hidden talent.
Tsune: BINGO AGAIN.
I start to wrap up the picture.
Tsune: Done emo-ing for now, Reni?
I guess my movement singled something because Roy stood up.
“I guess I better go,” he sighed.
Funny thing is I don’t think he was ready too. It took him a long time to move to the doorway. Then he paused and I could feel him staring at me while I wrapped the picture up. The next thing he did confused me even more. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my neck.
Tsune: *with glee* Is he gonna strangle her?
I felt my face boil and my eyebrows lifted. When he let go finally let go I had to know what was going on.
“Did you just hug me?”
Roy: *sourly* No, that was an attempted murder. Damned author stopped me.
He laughed and finally walked out the door, leaving it slightly ajar.
I sat on the window ledge again, waiting for him to walk down the sidewalk.
Roy: *hums ‘Somebody’s Watching Me’ nervously*
I heard him say goodbye to Mrs. May and the front door shut. And there he went, walking slowly, hands in his coat pocket. He paused a moment to put on his hat. I thought he always looked sexy with hair pushed back and his hat on.
Tsune: WE GET IT. The tramp-I mean Reni- thinks Roy is ‘sexy’.
Then he turned to face my window and waved to me. I jumped a bit and gave a weary wave back. Then he smiled and turned to walk again. It was like he knew I was going to be there.
Roy: well, she is stalking me. It’d only make sense.
Man Roy was full of surprises.
