[26 Formulae]

[ironysoul]

W-What?

My armor is strange. It's covered with these gears and... like clockwork... they're embedded in. I can't pull them off. But everything's really jerky now, and slow.

[His words are interrupted by a long, slow hiss]

What is this? A - A steam valve!? Oh, all that humidity just can't be good for the blood seal...

Hey! Where are you going! Stop, I don't want to walk this way! Hey! Armor! Turn around!! Hey!!!!

EDWARD ELRIC! YOU ARE ENTIRELY TO BLAME FOR THIS, I JUST KNOW IT.

[OOC: Al's armor has been (steam)punk'd and he's blaming it 100% on someone's recent actions.]

Alphonse-san! A-Are you okay!?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I'll be better at midnight. Sorry to worry you, Miss Tohru.

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

It seems we're all in a pickle today.

But my legs are my own at least.

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

Do you need help?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I think I have it under control. But thank you!

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

I'll bet that you look very sharp today.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Haha, I certainly look different!

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

Yes, me too. I...um...my clothes are actually a little...w-well they seem to be a little tighter and um...usually...er...

[aibyoukaonigiri.livejournal.com]

I-I just usually don't dress like this.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, Miss Tohru, we all know it's the curse.

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll be all right as of midnight! In the meantime, your armor must be stunning. The sheer change that has taken place here -- I've never witnessed a "curse" before, at least not one that applies to myself. My gun is something clockwork and old; the holster is old leather and brass; even my glasses look like an old relic with pistons at the hinges. The look outside, though, is something I could get used to!

You and Edward must be close, for you to be acting this way around him. Only great friends are worthy of great...ah, panic?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I guess... It does have a very strong aesthetic. If that really appears to you, I can see how you'd like today. I bet Winry's shop looks really cool... and Brother's automail... I'd still rather have my armor back to normal, though... It's very ornate. I'll give it that. I've got hinges and gears everywhere.

He's my charge burden stupid idiot brother.

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

Ah! That would explain things, though I would be impressed if he turned the entire City into this! Is he an alchemist as well?

I like the look. I suppose I enjoy things that look intricate, with lots of tiny moving parts. Like a squirrel or a magpie, I suppose -- shiny objects, and all that.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

He is. I don't think he actually did this, though.

Or a raven.

[spiritofsorrow.livejournal.com]

I doubt it as well, though I've yet to see any trace of these "deities."

I suppose a raven is an improvement. I hear they are very intelligent creatures, though I've never encountered one myself.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

My brother knows one!

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

Do you need any help? I might be able to get those gears moving more smoothly.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Oh... Thank you for the offer, but I know a very good mechanic.

[makes-you-tick.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear. Clockwork happens to be my specialty, though, so feel free to call on me if you need to.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I will. Thank you.

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

done

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

...stay put today, Al.

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I will.

Hey, Brother, what's your automail look like?

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

...kind of cool, actually. Cool my ass, puffing steam right into the port --

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Better hide from Winry or you'll be in big trouble.

[fullferricelric.livejournal.com]

I bet she's too busy running around trying to crack open everything in sight to bother with us today...

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, probably.

[guardianed.livejournal.com]

...Are you holding up all right today, Alphonse?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank you. It was just a little awkward today -- these gears have a mind of their own.

Are you?

[guardianed.livejournal.com]

That's unusual.

I'm uncursed.

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

Al? You ok?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

Yeah. This curse just messed with my armor, is all.

Are you, Miss Uta?

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...oh, like how I'm stuck wearing frilly dresses, knee high boots, hats, and gloves for the day?

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

And how all the technology in the City has totally changed, yeah.

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

It's pretty cool actually... Steam engines and stuff I've only seen in books...

I kinda like it.

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

But would your blood seal be ok with all the moisture?

1/2

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I guess I was so distracted that before Sorrow said anything, I didn't notice, but it really is pretty.

private;

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I think so... I just have to be careful. Brother's keeping a pretty close eye on me even if he won't admit it.

private;

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

"Sorrow"?

I'm glad he is... because I'm not sure I could be of any help with this silly dress on.

private;

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

I'll be okay. But thank you, Uta.

Sorrow... He's new here.

private;

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

Ah, I may have missed his arrival. I don't know anyone by that name.

private;

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

He's... uhm, interesting. he claims he's a medium. I think he knows about me...

private;

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

...M-m-medium?

T-the kind that talks to... ghosts?

private;

[ironysoul.livejournal.com]

He says "spirits".

private;

[songofdreams.livejournal.com]

It's the same thing! How creepy...
