[A series of separate journal entries would have been posted over the course of several days; Edward will have a somewhat sporadic response time for them, too. He might respond for a few hours and then not until the day following the entry ICly anyway-- I'll be tagging it normally 8|, since the cryptic commentary in each day's entry hints at how he

[Okay so all things considered even if it's yet to be done Sunday went well. Quite well. Haruhi is feeling confident, and she's feeling surprisingly calm about meeting Ed- or well. Calm perhaps isn't the best way to word it. She's anxious, not entirely eager, and deeply on edge - worried about her impression, worried about what she might say or how he might take it or... other things like that.

But at least she's no longer scared. Winry deserves more credit than she's been giving her and she's going to accept that with more trust than she's been giving. Maybe she'll even ask her out for a date night after this to repay how awkward she must have made her feel with this? Who knows. ...She shows up at the house in the afternoon, after school, as agreed on earlier. Before her meeting - she can meet up with them later or not at all, they know what they're doing and Taichi can hold up the fort.

And... knock.]

[Right there to answer the door is Winry. Before opening it she looks over her shoulder at Ed on the couch. In a way she almost dreads this. The girl wonders if they'll bring up the relationship, and inadvertently shoot down her husband. But with a deep breath and a long exhale she tries to make sure all of that is gone as she opens the door. It's wide enough so that Ed can see Haruhi as she walks in. Here goes nothing.]

PRETEND HE HAS AN ARM OKAY

[truthget]

[He's been waiting around for this, so he's admittedly looking kind of bored by the time Haruhi arrives. But this is what he's been waiting for, so after giving her a quick, observational glance, he gets up and follows Winry over to see her friend.]

[Okay inhale... exhale... She looks Ed at the - not quite the face but not quite not looking at him and then decides- well, let's just play this natural. Let's do this Suzumiya.]

[ voice ] Monday for 500. placeholding for non-timeline reasons :|b

[idkmybffroy]

You don't miss having Roy around? I'm shocked to read it.

[ He'll just touch on that... admirable month-long goal some other time. ]

[ voice ] sure thing, tag back whenever it's convenient for you!

[truthget]

Are you making fun of me?

[It's not exactly a surprise that he's happier without Roy bothering him, after all.]

[ voice ] gah, such a turtle I am.

[idkmybffroy]

Not at all. [ Yes, completely. ] That would just be mean-spirited, wouldn't it?

[ hah, more like he's being hilarious-spirited. and you just happen to be the first grumpy state alchemist to turn up to be made fun of in a while. ]

[ voice ] well I did say take your time at least?

[truthget]

[Oh Hughes. Why such a troll. Edward can't snip at him too much, though, he's still dealing with the whole "dead people are alive" issue. Little more time, just a little...]

...Well I don't miss him. He'd just cause trouble if he was here.

[sea_king_bait]

[She'll blink, reading through a few of the entries. Looks like someone is really trying to keep themselves occupied.]

...Good luck on getting out in a month.

[truthget]

I've been told it's unrealistic. [But that's not stopping him.]

[sea_king_bait]

At least time stands still here. Not like you're missing anything back home.

[Positive vibes, Ed. Can you feel them?]

[truthget]

[He's starting to pick it up... hmm...]

Does time really stand still, or are we just sent back in time?

[Not that it makes much of a difference in the end, but he's curious about the theory.]

[truthget]

[Edward would have greeted Hiccup more-or-less politely in return but... dragon. There is a giant winged lizard kljsdlfkdf RIGHT THERE]

Whoa! That's...!

[truthget]

[A dragon? Aren't they kind of. Um. Mythical. Edward gives Toothless a long, scrutinizing look, arms crossing.]

Is it normal to see dragons in this place? It wasn't in the guide. [Then again it didn't exactly detail the wildlife. Maybe the mountains are full of dragons.]

[truthget]

[Edward's walking along the shore with his hands in his pockets, head down, very much lost in thought. He isn't paying much attention to his surroundings, so he doesn't notice Minato until he's almost at the rock, which is when he hears the music. ...Where is that even coming from? He doesn't see a radio anywhere...

Peering around curiously now. Is it hidden somewhere? And why is it so quiet, in that case? ...Is this guy even paying attention?]

[truthget]

[Upon getting closer, Edward notices the guy wearing headphones, which are familiar enough. But it still doesn't explain where the music is even coming from- the wire just seems to disappear. Even Fuery doesn't have radios that small. He's not much for machinery, but it's kind of an interesting factoid he could share with the sergeant later.

Thus, clearing his throat now.]
