Ah, Madame is wise. Poor lil Roy.

Love your take on the prompt, too.

(I don't remember seeing any pictures of young Roy other than the one with Maes, sorry.)

[catw00man]

Thanks! I have to admit I think I love this little guy more every week. LOL Glad you liked it but...I'm still thinking about Vampie Maes. ;-)

[raceulfson]

"Good God, Roy," Maes said shortly after becoming undead. "I spent the night trying out my new awesome powers. ...Do know what vampires *eat*?? It's disgusting!"

"My aunt Chris said not to talk to strange men," Roy said, edging away. Now he knew why she made him rub garlic juice on his neck.

[catw00man]

Oh. My. God. It's official. I LOVE YOU! LOL

<3 That's precious and yummy Maes and...yeah. Now you need to write more fun stuffs. ;-) *giggles*

...I guess it's kinda obvious I'm just a sucker for Maes and Roy in ANY context? LOL

That should be an interesting conversation during the train ride. Great work!

Concerning pics of little Roy with Chris, I don't think there are any to my knowledge.

[catw00man]

I'm thinking it should be...or I hope it should be! Can't wait for next week's prompt! LOL

You know, for some reason I just swear I've seen something making me think he was about 9 but maybe it was fan art. I don't even know how I know he was that age!

[capnhoozits]

I love how you're making these prompts work for you!
And I don't recall ever seeing anything with little Roy, more's the pity.

[catw00man]

Thanks so much! It's a fun challenge for sure. :-D

We need baby!Roy pics! I'm beginning to thing what I remember I just imagined! LOL

[ssadropout]

Roy learning that Chris can be a link to his past (instead of just a divisive force) is going to be a big help. I love the mini-theme in this series of things that little Roy disdains (alchemy and elegant clothing) becoming important to him as he grows up.

I am in awe of your ability to use the prompts to tell Roy's story.

[catw00man]

Yeah has for that "mini theme" I'm so discovering it as I go along! LOL I will say I'm totally having fun showing the 2 sides of him. The best part in this me was when I was writing Chris talking to little Roy the same way I write Roy talking to young Ed!

I'm so glad you're enjoying it. It's been awhile since I've done a prompt driven story like this. :-)

[ssadropout]

LOL about the mini-theme. These things happen when one writes, huh? Go with the flow!

When (not if!) he gets old, Roy will write a memoir entitled "All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned from Auntie Chris."

[catw00man]

Ahhhhhhh hahaha yup! I can totally see it! I think she very much forms the man he becomes but that he so gets that motivation and soft heart from his parents. :-)

Poor little Roy.

The only kid pictures I know of are of the Risembool Trio. I don't think Arakawa did any others, despite having a lot of headcanon for a lot of the characters that never made it anywhere but in some of the (untranslated into English) character guides.
