Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Sorry, I guess she does sound like a Mary Sue sweatdrop , my bad, this is my first time Role playing, so please forgive me for that, I went back and edited a little trying to make it sound a little more respectful, but I can't change it a lot without changing later posts... and again, I'm sorry.))

Ashtoreth narrowed her eyes, switching them to heat sensing, "No, the rain's messing with the sensors."

She was ready to stomp and scream every curse she had ever learned when there was a step behind her. Narrowing her eyes, she quickly began to let a small ball of energy form in her palm, she flinched as the cobblestones under her disappeared slightly.

Turning, she stopped short see a young man with gold hair and slate eyes, "Al..."

The roads were pretty empty as a girl walked briskly down them. The rain was pouring now and strong winds pulled at the young woman's coat. But, nobody realized that this commoner was actually a Homunculus.... and nobody knew that she was actually the shapeshifter, Envy. (who si a he.... haha xd )

There it is...

He sneered as he walked up to Central HQ. He stood and stared through the windows high up, and noticed that the lights had gone out. He blinked and his eyes returned to their original violet. Envy decided he would see if anything was going on. It wasnt like anybody was going to recognize him as he was morphed into another.

..... and if they do, I will kill them. HAHA!

He snuck around the building unseen and jumped through an open window. Everything was pitch black inside and there wasnt anybody around, though he heard faint voices in one direction. Letting out a small laugh, he walked down the dark corridor, away from teh people.

Alphonse slowed before the girl, looking at her with a little annoyance. There was obviously something that he was holding in, and he did not seem to like the taste of the words. "We need to talk. Let's find some cover from this rain and then I can explain."

He looked around for another building to take shelter within and headed for it. It ended up being back in the direction of the train depot, but cover was cover at this point. He gestured in that direction and moved quickly to a place where the rain was diverted. "Over here!"

Covering his mouth, he made a point to not squawk anymore. He looked from Havoc to Riza and spoke in a tone that was barely above whispering. "We need to stop this intruder."



He couldn't believe his eyes nor his ears. He stepped next to Havoc and looked down on the person who had moments earlier been considered an intruder by all of them. He blinked several times, thinking his eyes too, were not functioning properly. He tried to form a coherent sentence as he took in a rather sharp breath. "E..Edward?" His voice cracked for a moment. He had intended to call the teen by what he always did, which was Hagane no. His words came out in more of a question than a statement.

He felt the corners of his lips curving upward into a smile as he looked at the golden haired and eyed boy that was before them. He quickly assessed that the no real harm had been done to the teen by Jean. He reached out and gently put a hand on his shoulder, taking care not to be to hard, as Jean had already injured the lad.

"Edward Elric..." His stern deep-gray eyes looked into the Ed's golden ones, he took Edward's hand into his own and shook it. "We have a lot of talking to do. There are many things that need to be addressed. We have no time to lose. Everyone, back to my office immediately." With that said, he turned, snapped his fingers and lit his candle again and headed back toward his office.

"Oh, and Edward? I have something for you..."

((ah, hidoi, Junshou... crying i'd never injure the kid... not much anyway. blaugh ))

A moment after hearing Roy call him by his name, he inhaled sharply as well. He was not sure if his superior was angry with him or elated with happiness. He opened his mouth to speak a coherent sentence, though nothing came out. Casting his golden eyes to the side for an instant he confided "T..tadaima" With that his eyes snapped back to his superior, his face a contortion of sorrow, happiness, and above the rest, confusion. He still wasn't completely sure how he got back, nor did he know anything about what had been going on in this world. He briefly glanced to Havoc, then to Hawkeye, then back to Mustang. He shivered slightly. It had been one hell of a day already and now he was in a fairly cold building and dripping wet. He ran his fingertips through his tousled golden colored mop as he attempted a smile towards the trio in front of him.



What was a smile turned immediately into a bit of a frown. Sighing heavily, he looked to Mustang. "Mustang-taisa... really... I didn...t mean for any of it to happen... I...I... uh..." his golden eyes cast to the ground, he bit his lower lip a bit. He had hoped that he would have been more welcome and not questioned immediately. However, he should have known this was they way it would be. It was always this way with Mustang. It seemed to Ed like Mustang was only happy to see him back so he could question his whereabouts and what had happened over the past four years.

All of this was something Ed hadn't wanted to remember right that moment. He shrugged and nodded. "I'll answer whatever questions you may have to the best of my ability, sir." With that, he snapped a crisp salute, his hair shook a bit when he did this, causing Riza and Jean to get splashed with water from the golden locks. Though it may have been seen as him trying to be a smartass, he actually was not. Once more his shoulders slumped a bit in defeat as he gazed at the floor, which for some reason had become extremely interesting.



His looked to Riza and mouthed a silent "Arigatou goziamasu". "Havoc-chuui?" His eyes flitted toward the man who was now standing on two feet instead of in a wheelchair which was where he last saw him before he had been thrown from this world. His lips turned up into a smile as he shook Havoc's hand. "Wow! You got promoted!! However, that doesn't change the fact that I must still agree with Hawkeye-chuui." He glared at Havoc a bit, not in a mean way, but more of a 'I'm not a little shrimp you can just get away with giving a noogie to' look. He then broke into a small smile, despite the fact that he had a nagging feeling Mustang was going to start reading him the riot act as soon as they got to his office for having disappeared with not a single warning.

Alas, this was the life of a military dog, or, one who used to be a military dog. Though nothing could have kept him from smiling at that particular moment in time, as he was back home and very happy to be there.

Things sure had changed since he was last there. Not to mention, to his satisfaction, everyone still looked the same. Ne, they looked the way they did before things got bad when he was there last.



Looking into her auburn eyes a for a moment, perhaps a moment too long, as he found himself getting lost in them. For some reason his cheeks tinged a bit pink as he softly spoke to her. "A..arigatou goziamasu. It tends to be a bit on the chilly side in here when you're drenched." He looked down toward the black shirt, which was now form fitting against his slender, yet muscular abdomen, which was emphasized because of the clingy-ness due to the fact it was dripping. His pants now looked a bit more like something Elvis would be wearing due to how much they were clinging to his legs.

It was times like this that irritated him that water caused clothing to attach itself to the human body like a magnet. He absent mindedly tugged at his shirt a bit. It was sucking any heat he had left in his body right out. Sighing and giving up, he shot Riza one more thankful look.



His eyes remained on here for a moment as he reached up and gently touched her hand with his human one. His voice coming out in nothing more than a whisper as tears threatened to sting his eyes. "T..tadaima...Hawkeye...ne. Riza." He went ahead with what he felt to be right though it was showing disrespect for her seniority. He offered a weak smile as he let her hand go and drew her coat in around him.

Indeed he was a bit taller, as this coat would have definitely dwarfed him four years ago, though he was still not as tall as everyone else. He stood at about 5'5", which was much better than he was the last time he had been there. However, Mustang had enough height on him to still be able to call him ochibi-chan or whatever he wanted to. He silently followed everyone into the office, smiling a bit on the way though he was surely about to meet his demise through questioning from Mustang.

He was definitely happy to be home.

Kat looked around, wide-eyed with interest, as she had never been to a place like this before.
