[The bad news... Elicia's brothers were gone. So while the house waited for them to show back up, Elicia did the same. But she was in high enough spirits, at least, with Christmas just around the corner. And when she was finished with her usual occupational things on weekends she cracked open her journal sleepily, laying cross-legged on her stomach, on her made bed.]

[Video]

Did lots of you have Christmas at home? Was it nice?

[She beams with her cheek resting on her arm.]

This is gonna be my second one!! I hope Santa thinks I've been a good girl, 'cause I've been trying extra hard not to be bad, so I'd get good presents! Make sure you're all good, okay? So you can get a lotta' presents, too...! What's the best present you got from him before?

[Aah! She perks up, looking at her window, bright-eyed in an instant.]

It's snowing again! I'm gonna make some snow people! You guys should make some, too!

[Action]

[Elicia'll be outside for the rest of the day, crouched low and rolling snowballs out of the thin veil on the floor. Soon, there are stacked snowballs. And then, eyes on them. And then little stick arms. By the time it's three or four? Behold—dozens and dozens of little snow men surrounding House #23!! They may be the height of a ruler, but their numbers are many! It's like Snow Sparta around here.

Don't be alarmed if some have little weapons fastened to their hands made of sticks. That's just how we roll in Elicialand.]

[Elicia has had a really great New Feather round. For one thing, dad was back. For another, so was Sanji. These reasons alone made her the happiest person in all of Luceti (save for maybe... I dunno, Grune. She's always pretty happy and stuff. Oh, and that dog Dug she hasn't met yet). But otherwise, happiest! And when she pops in on video to address the populace, she's got a big ol' smile. Even if she sounds a little stuffy.]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia! It's getting real cold, so make sure you all got real warm coats, okay?? 'Cause getting a cold is not a good thing; your nose gets real stuffy and you go through... a lot of tissues...

[aah—achoo!

... She might be coming down with something. It happens to the best of us.]

Ummm, I wanna make really tasty hot chocolate and cookies and give them to you... I think I'm gonna ask mama and papa if we can go to the Welcome place so I can... Or maybe I can give the nice people who work there some, so they can give to people...!

[UM UM. IS THERE MORE.]

Oh, yeah! My papa and my big bro are here again, so make sure you say hi! My papa's name is Maes, but lots of people call him Hughes, and my big bro is Sanji—he's a cool chef at the restaurant, so you should definitely try his food! And my papa is a military guy! Is there other people who work in the military? You should meet him!

[... one more thing!]

And Mr. Uncle Jack, I gotta see you again so I can give you back your cool compass, so if you want it...!

[Action // Thursday, September 22nd]

[It's been eight days since her father left, and despite her searching, she hasn't found him. But this was Luceti. He was here even though he couldn't be back home, so obviously he'd just reappear here again, like mama did! With this knowledge firmly in place, and when school would begin--after a few days of staying home, courtesy of a worried mother--she would carefully sneak around after class was over to survey the forest nearby the building. Not enter it. But listen and squint into the dimness of it.

He might be there. They don't know. Just because all of his stuff went away... maybe the robots took it all, too!

Sleeping in mother's room is a must, for now. For both of them. It makes it a little easier, having someone to hug in the mornings or bitter earlier hours.

She answers the door with a determined sort of look on her face, but it falls instantly when she sees who it is. It's not your faults, really. She's still happy to see you, and the small, shy smile a few moments later says as much. It's just... not what she was hoping for. And then, sitting outside became a habit. Well, it was always important on her list of things to do—to sit on the porch and draw or play. Playing can wait. Just for a few more days. Papa might show up. Gotta stay vigilant. No time for journals, or anything like that, right?

... M-maybe just a little journaling. But nothing new. No... she can go back to old entries and look at them again. Any tears? Well... She cried a little, when it first happened. But crying now would be bad. Shikamaru said it, he told her before when she ripped her doll:

Crying didn't fix anything.

So. She would try not to cry. Even if it was... growing harder not to.]

[Written]

papa

wen you com back

plees com home.

[When the video starts up, Elicia seems unfathomably happy. Unfathomably!! Under one protective forearm she has an eerily familiar doll in hand. What, you don't own a Chopper doll? But anyway!! Important things are afoot!]

Guess what, guess what! I had a cool dream! It was the coolest! [in case the first cool didn't sink in] I was jumping all through the sky, and I was jumping through all the trees and I had a really cool sword! But there was this mean kid and he was like 'humans are mean! I don't like you!!'

[STOMPING A FOOT DOWN, GRAH!!]

But then all of a sudden a cool superhero in armor flew in and kicked him in the butt! Pow!

[she runs in a circle before ending with a bad-ass little girl kick to the air. HIYAH!!]

And big sis Nami was there, and she was asking where she put her clothes 'cause she lost them, and uncle Law was there! He told me not to spin my cool sword in circles 'cause that's dangerous, and I didn't wanna get in trouble by papa anyway, and then I was on a boat with Uncle Jack and Mr. Archie, and we were looking for gold! We found a box of treasure so big, it didn't even fit on the boat, so Uncle Jack was pretty grumpy the whole way back.

It was a lot of fun, 'specially when I got to go swimming with the mermaids! They had really long, pretty hair.

[...

Right. :|a

Oh! So anyway. On to other exciting matters!]

Umm, there's new people again, huh? Hi, New Feather people! I'm Elicia, and I've been here for one whole year! Big sis says that's really true! I'm sorry I didn't have any cookies on my stand, but we ran out of eggs and we gotta go to the store. But you're all invited to my nextest birthday, so you can definitely have some cookies there.

[So just wait a whole year. Seems legit.]

Um...! That's all, I think! Maybe I should ask a neat question... [Lots of people seem to do that. It's clearly in-fashion.]

What's your favorite animal?

((ooc: time, where did you go ;;. Replies in the morn! Sorry about that!))

[Elicia was expecting to be in the middle of a scuffle between enemy winged soldiers. Not to be waking up half-drugged and in an old-fashion malnosso dress. She hadn't done this little dance in a few years now... What did that mean? Did they come back? Impossible, they were... Well, we'll figure this out as we go, Elicia. When she gets up, she nearly falls over, and finds with frustration that her automail leg wasn't working properly. Something was wrong with the knee—aaah, Winry would be pretty grumpy about that.

'This would be the second time this week.'

But it's around the time she cracks open her journal that she realizes something's not right. These entries, they're only up to her sixth birthday? No, that can't be right. Where did all her other.... Oh. Oh wow.

She was fourteen years in the past.

She limps out of the forest, dazed but not confused enough to ruin her train of thought: go to the item shop, find her clothes. The Malnosso always left clothes. And then she'll head to the smithy, to find her sword and... and then she'll need to find Winry in the smithy. Now dressed up, she's found herself a good pair of glasses; if she can... if she can, she'd rather not tell them who she is. Would that change things?

Would that be so bad, though? She's not entirely sure. She's nervous and worried and—and—

... nostalgic. Much much later, after everything, she'll head to the houses of people she's most familiar with. A lot of people aren't where she remembers, but she'll try to find them none-the-less. Probably after heading to where her mom and dad are. She'll also be wondering around in awe at the place. So much different and yet so much changed.... Don't mind her if she looks dumbfounded at something, or surprised at another. If you're expecting a shorty, you'll be surprised—she's 5'9". Her father has great genes, like that.]

[ooc: EDIT: sorry, but it turns out a second post isn't gonna happen; this post exploded! XD You can catch her on the draft, pre-draft log or malnosso journal draft post though!
Go here to see extra information about her future relationships and her. Go here to fill out the relationship post if you haven't yet!

And lastly, I'll reply to this in a few hours! Got something to do real quick.]

[[Nighttime; June 23rd]]

[Elicia had had a tough week.

Shuffle, shuffle—the sound of turning blankets and small feet moving back and forth through them. She's been rolling in her sleep for a few minutes now, flipping her hidden journal into a little book tepee, while it records the buzzing air and soft incoherent murmurings of a child dreaming. They're not happy dreams, after a while, and it takes but a moment before she's wide awake and horrified and crawling under her blankets with her mouth in a shaky near-crying line. The journal. That's right.

She reaches over and opens it up all the way, unable to see anything in the dark. Her voice is watery and lined with a sort of innocent, hurt desperation when she speaks.]

[Voice]

Please tell me a story. I wanna hear stories, if anyone... wants to talk... I like them a lot. I—I promise I'll go back to sleep, but I just wanna hear one...

[Pretty, pretty please...

But despite stories, sometime in the night, she rises up from her bed and patter-pitters quickly into her parents' room. Scary, they're too scary—and they could be real. Because she's seen scary real things like it before. And the last thing she wanted was a blue-eyed woman slowly creaking out of her closet, like she kept imagining, over and over and over again...]

[[Daytime; June 24th]]

[It was a cold snap, today. Elicia wore her poofy pink jacket for the occasion. Truth be told, she's had a very tiring night of trying to sleep, and she'd failed at it fairly well. There were a mesh-up of things. Scary things. She didn't want to draw any of them, so she decided on focusing her attention to playing. By the end of her short-lived playtime outside, she's laying on her arm on the front steps of her house, the fake pink sword Law gave her still clamped in her hand.

A good nap. There was nothing scary... Just good. That was important. It's a good thing children bounce back well enough, even if only for a while, because she's got a content air about her later on in the day. Anyone who wants to visit, now's a great time to; she'll be drawing funny circles all over the ground outside with a stick. Clapping her hands and smacking them. And nothing happens. :|

But she sure as hell is pretending something's happening.]
( WHAT'S UP, ELICIA? )

((ooc: Just make it clear which day you're replying to and all that. I have faith in you. |Db))

[Today is a good day! Just like most of them are!!

So it's time for another entry~~]

[Video]

I went to the hot springs, and it was a lotta' fun!! But I still don't know how the water stays all warm and stuff like that! Is it magic? 'Cause I know there's probably lots of magic that'd make water warm... And it was really cool, because I got teleported there! Isn't that really cool?! I didn't even know we could do that!

[Focus, Elicia. So much to talk about!]

U-um, and my mama's here, so if you see her, make sure you say hi! I want her to meet all my friends here; I think you guys'll like her a whole lot. She's really nice and a real good cook! She makes the best sweets. And my big bros Ed and Al are here, too, so say hi to them when you see them!

If you're new, I just wanna say hey! I'm Elicia, and I'm five years old! But I'll be six real soon! In... in...

[she holds up two fingers, excited]

Two months!! I think!

.... [an afterthought] A-and if you ever need someone to fix cuts, I can heal them! I've been practicing with Miss Nala!

[Action]

[After school Elicia's once again dragged out her little booth with cookies and lemonade and'll be waiting--except instead of just being for New Feathers, she's decided to be far more generous and give to whoever wants these tasty little morsels. They made too many, anyways. And after that? Well, she's focused on her sketchpad in the front yard, laying on her stomach with her hand on her cheek. Hmmmm.... :/

... By the way. That little pink camera she has? Yeah, she's still taking pictures of people passing by. Sneakily. And by sneakily we mean hiding in the brush until they just shrug and carry on--unless she knows you, to which she'll just lol at you and say hi.

When all's said and done, she'll seek out her housemates for some pouncing lessons. And by pouncing lessons... well, yeah, that's about right.]

[Action]

[Something was really, really different. You didn't have to be a grown-up to tell people were turning into stuff. But Elicia—of course, being Elicia—never considered she'd be one of the ones on the list of the changed. After school she went home, and then... poof. Different. She felt it. And with good reason: under her normal clothes was a layer of red and black much like a different 'person' from her world. Her hair was suddenly pitch black on her head, and her the pupils of her eyes were no longer rounded, but sharp like a snake's. And purple.

And had she any mind to check further, a blood-red tattoo had formed over the bumps of her tongue. With it came an intense hunger. Scared as she was to show her papa and sis, she snuck out of her room and into the kitchen. And then sat down and began to eat the entire box of cereal. And then ate an entire box of cookies. And... then ate an entire box of leftover pasta. Hey, she wasn't gonna... but it looked good, okay?!

Soon there were boxes littering the floor.

Still, so hungry... :'| ]

[Video]

I feel really funny... Is it 'cause there are people turning into animals and stuff? I saw some on the way home, and then I turned funny, too! See? My hair's a funny color, now! And I got funny eyes, now... I like my other eyes better...

[A pause. Sniffle, sniff.]

A-and it's making me really hungry...! But I already ate lots of food, a-and I don't know why I'm still hungry...

[Action hooooo]

[If you need her, she'll be in the front yard a few hours later, looking a little miserable. In fact, it's so overwhelming, she'll sneak out of the house at around 9:00—bedtime's hour—and go to the grocery store, where she'll proceed to hide out near the back and eat snacks. Mainly sweets, because darn it they taste so good ;~; Where is this food all fitting? It's a mystery ~~unless you watched FMA~~ .

Will she get back in time to not give her father a heart-attack? That depends on the people who find her, if papa notices, and ~~Dani~~ if she's as good a ninja as she is a gluttonous homunculus. Have no fear, she's not the people-eating type that Gluttony is. |Db

This is going to be a long week.]

((ooc: I figure since ~homunculus~ is vague in FMA canon and wouldn't make any sense to be JUST that, Elicia'll be a Gluttony homunculus, since they need a sin to go with them. Replies will be coming from

taberuyo, and I MAY use icons on here for icons that don't fit the 15, so just make believe on those. |D;; ))

[First thing's first: Elicia's living with Winry now, with papa, in her big house. Admittedly, she did like the different people passing back and forth in the community housing, but oh my gosh, her room is bigger! Heck yeah. So instead of running around the front of an apartment complex, she'll be running around in front of #23, next door to big bro Keiichi ~~who totally lied about cooties but it's okay except we should address that this post shouldn't we??~~. She's got herself a few scrapes on one knee from working on riding that bicycle without the training wheels, but other than that? She's in crazy good spirits.

In fact, as she's out in front of the house, she sits with said injured knee bent; before long, she cups her hands over it and closes her eyes (though it doesn't help much in the way of focusing for her; gotta be legit-looking, right?). And when she takes her hands away, the scrapes are gone and she's smiling proudly.

FIRST THING OF BUSINESS: School!

SECOND THING OF BUSINESS: Setting up a little stand to give people some cookies. Because when you live in a big cool house you get all kinds of time to make cookies. Granted, they're mostly pre-made and were heavily heavily supervised. Should you be coming by, she'll totally give you one. And maybe a glass of milk. By the way, there's a sign that says 'WELCOM SENTER NUMBER 2' in big bold letters. Be warned: she still has her pink camera, and she will use it.

Now... THIRD THING OF BUSINESS!!! It's time to address the public! 8D

The first thing to be seen is her banner, which she's drawn up again--however, Luceti is spelled correctly this time around! HUZZAH!!]

Hi, new feathers! My name's Elicia, and I'm five years old! I like riding my bicycle, even though I fall down sometimes, and I like drawling and reading and counting and jump roping! What kinds of things do you like? I always like to hear about everything people likes, 'cause it's always the thing that makes them smile most! And I like learning new stuff!

Like-- I learned that cooties aren't real.

I don't think they are anyway, 'cause I was told they're not... even though someone else said they were... but maybe he was just confused...

[... not entirely sure on that one. :I

ANYWAYS:]

Are all my friends doing okay? 'Cause I know there was a big scary fighting thing that happened, so I was real worried about all the people who had to go! Are you guys all okay? You gotta let me know, or I'll be super worried 'til you do, okay?

I think that's it!

[... a pause] OH!! And don't forget: this world is made of love and peace!

[How could she forget to address this VERY IMPORTANT THING?! D:]

((ooc: slowly getting of hiatus with Elicia! The others'll be back by friday ^^))

[Sup, guys! Elicia is running a-muck at home and is probably going to implode from sheer joy of having two (2) parents here now. After a few months of motherlessness and a whole two years of it back home, she finally feels some awful contentment that she'd been longing for since her father had passed—no, she wasn't aware of this, but it was still there. And it felt so wonderful.]

Hiiii, new people! I'm Elicia, and I'm 5! Are you guys doing okay? Are you getting all your vegetables and clothes and houses okay?

[Aaaaand of course, she's been also talking to people as usual. And as usual, she's got far too many questions to contain herself.

So in her video is a jumble of 8D and questions.]

Hey, hey! Luceti's a really special place, right? 'Cause lots of people here come from different places and stuff! I met someone who can talk to clouds! Didja' know you can do that? They're really high up and maybe they're kinda hard to hear, but you can speak to them, if you try real hard...

What kinda things can you talk to at home? Can you—[gasp!]—can anyone talk to the animals? That'd be so cool, to talk to kitties and the puppies! I wanna do that, too...

But I also wanna learn how to ride my bike with only two wheels...

[She's got her head in the clouds for a moment, because which of these is more important to come first...

but then she remembers the most important thing EVER.]

OH!!

[THE EXCITEMENT IS PALPABLE.]

And guess what? Guess what?!

Mama's here now!

My mama's really here! So you guys gotta be really nice, 'cause she's really nice. And if you ask her and you're real polite, she might make you her pie; it's the bestest pie there is! Her name's Gracia, and she's got short hair and a pretty smile...

[She makes her most suitable giggle-face for this situation. Honestly, she just can't help it. It is a good week in Luceti. ;3;]

[Elicia sits near the school like she usual does when it gets out, but she's got a new book in her hands—a fairytale book, given to her by Derek (unknowingly, the sneaky vampire hunter). She's already had quite a spike in energy when it comes to writing storybooks, as you can very well see if you were involved in her hideous log.

Forgive her, she's trying to read.]

"Puh...oor little ugly d—duckling..." she wooould sss—say. "Why... are you so di—

di-fir-eant from the others?"

And the... ugly duckling felt worse than ever.

[She lowers the book, frowning. Probably thinking 'this book is just mean and cruel and WHYYY'

When she returns home, she spends some of her time riding up and down one little stretch of hallway on the brand new bicycle the Malnosso ~~for some reason~~ was kind enough to gift her. Training wheels are on it, but just wait until she decides she's gotta man up and take those suckers off. Which will probably be in another week.

But of course, she can't control herself from making a video entry—it's been a long time since she got to sit and make a normal one, of course!]

Hi, guys! Did you have nice Christmases? I did, definitely. I got a cool book, and a bike, and a polar bear teddy! I read about those, y'know! They live in snow, just like how it is here, and they can sit on floaty ice in the water. It's really cool...!

[She holds up said polar bear teddy as validation for her chat.

A beat, while she collects her somewhat limited thoughts. Hey, her mind works 100 miles a minute, you know.]

I wonder what else lives with the polar bears... they're not all alone, are they? That'd make them real lonely!

And that's not good at all...!

[Looks like stuff is relatively back to normal, for her. |D]

[ooc: replies in a few hours! Just getting this up while I'm lazily free with time at the moment! 8Db]

[Elicia's looking chipper and happy, as usual~! A little groggy, like someone who's ready to nap, but smiling.]

I keep having a bad dream. But mama told me before it wasn't real, so I shouldn't let it make me worried! Dreams are just imaginary. They don't do anything when you wake up, so you definitely shouldn't be scared of them, okay?? [Her, trying to mother other Luceti people? Perish the thought! She looks up to recollect her thoughts for the day, and nods excitedly.] I heard about Halloween! That sounds like lots of fun! Does anyone wanna' go trick-or-tricking? Kirimi wants to go! Chibi-usa, do you?

We can get candy~! I think it's cool! You go to people's houses and ask nicely for it!

[And then the smile lowers and she looks nervously at her feet, hugging Shiro, the teddy bear Honey had kindly helped her name.]

C-can someone... tell Sanji I hope he gets better? I'm sending lots and lots of cards for him!

[And yes, there is construction paper and tape and crayons all around her. Be expected to be overwhelmed at the box of stuff she's sending your way, Strawhats.

She looks determinedly at the camera, face a pout. Her voice is lower. Because this is a grave command she is about to issue:]

Make sure he doesn't smoke any cigarettes! They're bad for you!

[And she shuts off the feed~]

[Are you walking though a certain hallway in CH4, Floor 6? Or are you passing casually by the front of the school? If you are, then you'd better watch out—from behind, a figure leaps from the corner, ~~fake aluminum and cardboard~~ sword in hand! Who could it be but the most devilish of all villains...!]
( WHO COULD IT POSSIBLY BEEE?!?! )

[Before any important/srs bsns goes on for dear little Elicia, she must first say something very crucial to the very foundation of Luceti life—something so very important, that her canon's plot would seem insignificant compared to what she was about to utter, than no possible revelation can possibly upstage—]

Hey, what kinds of stuff is at the bakery~? Is there lots of cakes and doughnuts?

[...Nevermind then. Have Elicia looking curiously into the camera with a signature 'what's thiiis button do?' smile.]

O-oh! I gotta' use my manners, though. I'm Elicia and I'm five! [a curtsy? but of course!] I go to big kid school... Is there a big kid school here? I really want to learn how to count to 100 and how read big people's books! Like the kind mama has that don't have any pictures. Those have lots of words, too...

[And after that wonderful little beam of curiosity, she's hanging out in the halls of CH4 Floor 6, near her and her father's room! What's she doing all crouched down? Good question! There's a bunch of papers taped to the walls! And on those papers? Giant dragons and jungles and scribbles that may or may not be a lion. She's busy putting up more pictures of scenery to complete this wonderful collage. Judging by the inside of the apartment, she's also taped a few pictures up in there as well...!]

~~[ooc: going to sleep, but I'll be up in a few to reply! ^^]~~
