One Possession - [Action/Voice]

[twinnedavarice]

[Today it's Ling. Squinted eyes, youthful voice, and all smiles. He's been in Luceti for... well, awhile now. But he's mostly been keeping to himself, suppressed by Greed usually, as they try to work out how to get out of here. So far? Nothing. Unlike that time 'inside' Gluttony, Ed has proved himself to be remarkably useless in this situation. Go

gotta have some play time all that event depression. >:^(

[asobouyo]

[You creeper, you. While you're doing that whole creepy Xingese stalker thing, a voice rises out through the window, from the hallway.]

Let me go! You'll never catch me!!

[And after a harrowing escape: VROOOOOOM-!! Running through the living room!]

Oh no! My ship's gonna crash if I don't get more emergy! I can't control it no mooore!

[Shorting out! Can't hold the imaginary steering wheel straight! Oh noooo...!!]

[twinnedavarice]

[Well, this is a complicated thing to explain to a little child, so he'll just have to simplify it. He relaxes, as does Greed. Is that how experiments work here, then?]

A human created through alchemy. As real as you are... just not born the way you were. [And at the cost of countless lives, but let's not get into that.] The one you became was called Gluttony.

[asobouyo]

... You can make people with alchemy? [... Weird.] I didn't like being Gluttony! It felt funny!

[Probably didn't really comprehend the idea that she possibly had thousands of souls within her in the form of a Philosopher's Stone, either.

A pause, as she shrinks back]

... S-so, are you... made from alchemy?

[twinnedavarice]

Not entirely. I'm sharing my body with a Homunculus named Greed. He lost his old body, so I offered to let him take mine. [Offered, even though he didn't have a choice at the time. He wanted it anyway.]

[asobouyo]

O-oh. That was nice of you...

[... Okay, fine; she comes out of hiding.]

Why'd he lose his old body? Did he put it somewhere and forgot it?

GAWD FINE

[twinnedavarice]

Not exactly, but it's a long story. Another time, maybe.

[Well, at least she doesn't seem scared now, that's progress.]

So tell me Elicia, who else lives here?

B)

[asobouyo]

Eeeeveryone! Ed and Al and Winry and papa~! But it was only big sis and me and papa before that!

[twinnedavarice]

[So that's everyone he expected, except...]

Your Papa?

[asobouyo]

Yeah, my papa! His name's Maes, but everyone calls him Hughes! Don't know why, though!

He was here with Winry when I got here!

[twinnedavarice]

Is that right? I'll have to make sure I introduce myself. There's not many of us from our world, after all.

[asobouyo]

There's not, but I it grew a lot more, so maybe we'll see other friends here from home, too!

[twinnedavarice]

[Hmm... really? More people?]

Wouldn't you prefer we all return home?

[asobouyo]

Not unless papa comes with us! [Said with an edge of stubbornness.] I'm not gonna leave unless he goes, too!

[twinnedavarice]

Now, why wouldn't he come? He can't be that attached to this place.

[asobouyo]

[She looks like she's about to reply--like she's mulling things over for one--but in the end she just bows her head and grows quiet. Could he really come back with them? Would they let him? She's not too sure... But she's scared that if he goes away, he'll be gone both there and here.

Finally,]

... This is the only place where he can be my papa still.

[twinnedavarice]

[... he's not sure what that means. He'll probably figure it out later, but it just confuses him because he assumes it's some special thing about Luceti.]

... I see.
