['Sup, Luceti, guess who's back? So missions totally suck, but at least he wasn't on the ocean this time. It was still snowy and wet and miserable in general, but hey, he can't complain too much. It beats being experimented on.

Still, it's not like it was a particularly troublesome or dangerous mission, so he'll be tromping and looking rather cranky to House 23.

And it only gets worse from there! Because Winry is still sick (of course), and someone will surely be kind enough to tell him that Al's been kidnapped. Again. And there's going to be a draft now, and he's not on it, even though the enemies are being captured instead of killed, and goddammit this week sucks.

In other words, it's not long before he's out and about again, slightly more aggressive in his stance and occasionally punching trees, because there's very little else he can do right now. He will pop by to visit the friends or acquaintances of his that are drafted, though (or at least get close enough to where they live to look like he's thinking about checking on them).

...Well, there's at least one thing he can do to distract himself, so he'll try the journal later that night.]


[Voice]

...Hey, got a question. What kind of a gift can you get a girl without giving them the wrong idea or something?

The village is surrounded by trees, I don't think a little one for her room would be all that special.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Then maybe a different plant. I'd like a tree.

[Voice]

[automailed]

But girls like flowers, don't they? And I can't give her flowers.

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Who doesn't like flowers! But, I guess I can see why you can't get her that. Girls tend to get the wrong ideas sometimes if you get them flowers.

[Voice]

[automailed]

It's a romantic thing. Or "get well soon". I guess I could do that since she's sick, but...

[Still doesn't feel right.]

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

What about a cactus? They have flowering ones that are pretty, but I don't think they have romantic intentions.

[Voice]

[automailed]

A cactus? What kind of a present is that?

[Voice]

[goldenglasses]

Well some of the ones that flower are pretty.

[automailed]

...You can get a cactus that has flowers?

[But they're so... un-flower-like...]

[goldenglasses]

Well, not all of them. Just some species have flowers on them.

[automailed]

I've only been to the desert once, so I've never seen one before.

[goldenglasses]

I lived in a desert back home. So I've seen all kinds of cactus! Although there have been some in the flower shop that even I haven't seen before!

[automailed]

I'm not so sure she'd be into that kind of thing... but I guess I could go to the shop and have a look anyway.

[goldenglasses]

Well, if she's not into that kind of thing then you should probably think of something else. [Vash. The genius.]

[automailed]

I'll think about it. I've just never seen her get into gardening... she's too much of a gearhead for that.

[goldenglasses]

Oh, she's a gearhead? Means she likes tinkering with gadgets and things ri-

Would this be for Winery?

[automailed]

...For Winry, yeah. [Though he's a little reluctant to admit it.] She's kind of hard to shop for sometimes.

[goldenglasses]

Hm, well, is there some kind of tool she doesn't have yet?

[automailed]

Hell if I know. Unless it's real obvious I can't tell one tool from another.

[goldenglasses]

Hmm, I've seen model kits down at the item shop. Maybe you could get her a complicated one. Then she could spend time putting it together.

[automailed]

Model kit? What for?

[goldenglasses]

I dunno, just for the fun of putting it together. Just get her a hard looking one and take out the instructions!

[automailed]

Well... I guess it's worth a shot. I'll think about it, thanks.


[ooc: dunno if you want to continue this one at all, but Ed's icons are about to expire so it'll have to go here!]
