[Action] Fourth Wall

[selfhelp]

BILLY KAPLAN will be either a) flying/teleporting around or b) wandering through the chaos just wondering what the hell is going on; he's never seen this in Luceti before, and it's definitely something to look at. He'll be watching for familiar faces, definitely, or just poking at interesting-looking people.

EDWARD ELRIC is, surprise! Back from his kidnapping. Sort of. Temporarily. And he's trying to get himself home, but who knows what he'll run into on the way... eh-heh.

ASCH is in Good Spirits, mostly unruffled because he's been through like five years of this madness and refuses to get his feathers ruffled. But he will anyway, because he's like that. You might catch him outside as well, if he decides he's had enough and tries to drown himself in the lake or something. (This is entirely possible.)



[ooc: please put who you want to ping in the subject line or something, this is a catch-all! And Ed's just back for 4th Wall, his real return will be a few days after this. |Db]

[Then all the hands merge together into one giant hand to shake Billy's.]

You're my hero, Wiccan! Just like Robin!

[Hey Billy, it's Indiana Jones. Legitimately. Heading your way through the crowd. What do you do?]

Re: BILLYYYYY

[selfhelp]

[Billy almost misses the sound above him, hearing the call about half a second before the falling body crashes right into him, sending them both tumbling. Thankfully he manages to get his wits about him and stops them both mid-fall before they crash through someone else's roof, too.

Only when they've stopped does he get a look at who hit him, though. And- oh dear.]

Y-you're Deadpool!

[Thaaaaaat is not who he'd expected. At all.]

o~h where have you been

[selfhelp]

[Scream like a girl and pass out?

Okay, not really, but- almost. There is most definitely a lot of obvious, wide-eyed gawking and jaw-dropping and maybe a bit of muffled screaming and oh god Billy don't ask him if he thinks using a fridge to survival a nuclear explosion is stupid it wasn't any worse than the plane raft thing-]

[dissonates]

[.........why are all the weirdos bothering him...

Asch shoots the sax guy an irritated look and starts wandering away. He can drown himself have his peace and quiet elsewhere.]

[dissonates]

[Asch shrugs his shoulders at the apology- whatever. Must be a New Feather, though.]

This is Luceti.

[dissonates]

[No, you know what? He's not going into the bushes, screw that noise.

He's using a fonic arte, aimed at the end of the blood trail.

[automailed]

[Ahh... he just wants to hold onto her forever. Like he could turn around and she'll suddenly be gone again. What does he even say...?]

Uh... Al and our old man aren't here anymore. [It's unfortunate that most of what he has to say is bad news. ...Oh, except one thing.] But- there's actually- uh. Winry and me. We're... kind of a thing, I guess.

[That's totally clear, right? Wow this isn't awkward at all.]

[selfhelp]

[Wow this kid is kind of terrifying. And... also most definitely dressed like Robin.]

Oh, uh. Cool? How do you even know who I am?

you can wear a SHIELD if you want

[selfhelp]

Oh- yeah, she was. She got here first, and then Ben showed up a few months later. She's been gone for a while now, though.

[He still misses her, admittedly, though he'd never say it's bad that she got to go home. They'd made the floor into a weird little mishmash of a family.]

[kinky.]

[selfhelp]

[He's... not sure how he should respond to that - Eli's always been kind of multi-layered like that - so he opts for something different.]

How long have you been here? Is there anyone else with you?

Re: [action]

[window_watching]

[... oh. Her spirits go down quite a bit after that. She was looking forward to spending time with the whole family. But at least Al is home and (hopefully) safe. Both of them were busy there, anyway.] ... I see.

[It must be doubly hard for Ed. Except that last piece of news make her grin more than ever before.] Oh, I'm so happy for you, Edward! How long have you been going out?

[Always.]

[supersoldiered]

[It's not the kind of thing he expects someone like Billy to understand.]

It's been just me since I landed there. Can't say we didn't deserve it.

[selfhelp]

[OI.]

Don't say that. Nobody deserves this.

[supersoldiered]

Cassie's dead because of us. Of course we deserve it.

[Nothing counts during fourth wall DON'T BE MAD.]

in fanboys' dreams

[archaeologic]

[He hasn't been paying much attention to faces he didn't recognize - which, unfortunately, was everyone here he'd seen so far - but this kid looks like he's about to have pass out. After catching sight of him. You know, usually that isn't the kind of reaction he gets. He can't help but be a little concerned.]

You alright, kid?

[katanarama]

[He really needs to get his belt fixed. Or at least learn how to use it properly whenever Cable isn't around. One of the two. Prooobably both? Too much work? Maybe?

Oh. The kid recognized him.] I am Deadpool! Unless it'd be a bad thing if I were Deadpool, then I'm not him.

[Wait a minute.] ... hey, I think I know you too.

shrieking

[selfhelp]

[That. That is not what he expected Eli to say. Cue both horror and confusion crossing Billy's expression.]

Cassie's- what? What!? How!? When did that- Eli, what happened!?

[Oh god. Oh god, is that why Tommy wouldn't tell him what happened? Is that why Jonas has been so quiet? What the hell goes on in the future!?]

[supersoldiered]

[That's... Not the reaction Eli was expecting. It's not the muted depression from the Billy he knows.]

You're. ....It hasn't happened for you yet, has it?

[selfhelp]

[Oh god. Oh god oh god that's his future. That's the horrible future Tommy wouldn't tell him about. That's why they weren't talking, isn't it.

Oh god what did he do?]

Eli... Eli, you have to tell me. You have to tell me what happened...

Rather have an extra SWORD

[malleablementor]

I had no idea. I suppose she didn't either, after the fact.

[He rubs his chin, thoughtfully.]

Perplexing. But I know she'd have done her best to look after you if she could. Are there others from home trapped here? Ben was nonspecific.

[supersoldiered]

I messed up. That's what happened. It's all on me.

[Because he can't lay everything on Billy's shoulders. He can't crush him like that. There'll be time for guilt whenever he's allowed to get home again.]

[action]

[automailed]

A few months now, I guess.

[It doesn't feel like it's been that long, but- wow. Winry really has been waiting a long time.]

[appliedhelp]

Well, it's good to know I'm being listened to.

[The sentence is a little more forceful than intended, if only because oh god, still staring at the ground, yep this is still the most unstable and probably dangerous thing she's ever agreed to.

But when he tells her to look forward, it's... admittedly a lot harder than she thought, because there's a comfort in not seeing the ground rushing up at them. She has a strong will, though, so she shuts her eyes, tilts her head up, and then looks.

And... wow. He's right. without all the buildings and trees in the way, it's... rather nice, this view. Certainly not something she'd ever see in New York, not unless she looked up a nature documentary on Youtube.]

Oh, Billy...

[And slowly, very cautiously, she lets one of her hands loosen from its death grip and lets her arm spread to the side. She's still tense, but at least she's not just clinging to her boy anymore.]

Is this what it's always like for you? [It's half out of genuine curiosity, and half to poke at his talent, as a mother/psychologist ought to.]

[mamaterasu]

[Once close enough to the shore, Ammy get get off the water with a bit of a hop, kicking her legs a little because just the undersides of her paw pads are a little damp, nothing major. Gotta love the water tablet, man.

Anyway, Ammy peers at Asch for a few seconds, sniffing at him curiously. He seems to know her, but she can't recall his face or scent at all. He's also dressed terribly funny, and she's almost sure she's never met anyone with flaming red hair like that before - though it was very pretty. Kind of like her color - the brilliant red of the rising sun. Hm.]

Wuu?

[She may not know you, red-haired person, but she can at least be friendly if you pet and, hopefully, feed her something. Ammy swishes her tail, pressing her weight against Asch's leg.]
