[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]

[Ohgod telling Scott about M-Day ]would be a bad, bad thing.]

I want to be married in twenty years. I want to be a father. I don't want my kids to grow up having to hide themselves. [He sighs heavily.]

I'm sorry. Don't mean to unload on you. I'm sorry we couldn't give you a better world to grow up in.

[What about telling him how Jean's died like twelve times and he has like four children from the future hanging around, would that be better.]

It's okay. I know it must be frustrating... that's why I really hope that it's just my universe that turned out this way. You guys deserve better than what my future's got to offer.

[eyecondition]

[No. That would not be better. And neither would sitting around moping about it. Billy's just a kid. A kid who looks his age, but as far as Scott's concerned, he might as well be negative thirty years old. Give or take.]

I'll just have to do better next time I'm home. But I'll tell you what. I'll head back to 16 and check up on the guys, and then we can let off some steam over basketball. What do you say?

[Scott chooses the Bro answer for his problems. He's not yet discovered beer pong.]

[selfhelp]

[...Basketball? Man, why can't classic male bonding be like chick flicks and popcorn, or playing a video game together, or even a good cry. Sports are Teddy's thing. But the idea of getting their minds off the mess of maybe-future is more appealing than anything else.]

Um... I'm not that great at basketball, just as a head's up.

[It isn't a no- more of a cautionary tale. There's a reason he just likes to watch.]

[eyecondition]

[Because that's how girls bond.]

What, they don't have sports in the future? I'll just have to teach you then.

[selfhelp]

They do, I just have no talent. But sure, if you can tolerate a novice, I'm in.

[Should make for an interesting story to tell later, at least- how he got his ass handed to him by Cyclops at hoops.]

[eyecondition]

Everyone starts out as a novice. Don't worry about it.

[selfhelp]

Haha, okay.

[Now hopefully he won't look totally pathetic 8D]
