[Voice]
Hello? I'd like to personally speak with all the friends and "guardians" of Elicia Hughes. It's very important, and I would rather speak in person. Meet me on the bridge passed houses thirty one and thirty three.

Everyone else? What are your favorite dinner recipes? I need to spice up my cooking, and sometimes cookbooks just won't do it.

[And those who will come to meet her shall see her standing in the middle of the bridge looking over the side. She's not alone, though. Not too far off will be one alchemist around to make sure everything is okay.

[Aang will show up there in person. He's only talked to Elicia for a few times, but being with Ikki has made him very concerned for the child's wellbeing. Not to mention that he sees Winry as a sister and is concerned for both Ikki and Elicia on the matter of Loki. The subject may have also come up last time he spoke with Ed ~~got to get back to that thread~~.

But he'll be arriving at the specified bridge via glider not long after the message was broadcast.]

[Sora will show up, mainly because he is technically Elicia's friend. Even if he can't remember her right now, he will come. He did say he would be her friend again after all.

When he gets to the bridge, he will approach the girl that's standing there. It was a girl who was talking after all.]

Hey, you're the one who wanted to talk about Elicia, right?

[Friends, for sure. Maybe a "guardian" too; either way, it's important and it's about Elicia so she's going.

Wondering just how many people are going to be there.]

Hey. What's going on?

[While the idea of exchanging new recipes is intriguing, there really are more important matters to talk about. So with that in mind, she'll head to the area.

She'll wave to catch Winry's attention, but she's not going to step onto the bridge itself, so hopefully Winry will be kind enough to step off of it to meet her.]

Good afternoon, Winry. I've wanted to speak to you as well.

[Nami turns up. 'Very important' and 'in person' sets all kinds of alarm bells ringing, so when she arrives she's already frowning.]

[Tony shows up, no questions asked. He strolls up to her on the bridge, casual and almost unassuming. But where matters of Elicia were concerned, he treated them with utmost importance.]

Afternoon, Win--ry. [Wow, that was hard. But he doesn't want to piss her off.] Been awhile, hasn't it?

[And Loki is just... suddenly there. And waiting patiently.

He has a feeling this will not go at all well, but he is trying. It's now known that he has befriended Elicia, and he has little doubt Tony Stark will once again be doing his best to make life difficult. So this is, frustratingly, the best course of action.]

[Jack shows up eventually.]

'Allo, Miss Rockbell! Funnily enough I heard a little announcement you made on the journals.

[Vash shows as soon as he hears the message. He'd consider himself a friend to Elicia and that message sounds a bit worried.]

Hey there. What's up?

Tacos. Liberally spiced.

Is something up, Win?

[Cue Tsuzuki taking the trip, although he's not really sure he should be there.]

Is she okay, Winry?

[she doesn't see this until the day after it's been posted. Thanks to a certain Pooka, she'd been asleep for nearly a week. But when she sees this, skimming through the journals in an attempt to catch up on what she'd missed, she feels a stab of worry.

Had something happened to Elicia? Please, no.

She's not sure when Winry would check this again, and she doesn't know her name to filter, so she simply writes a quick note and hopes the other girl will see it]

I'm late, but is everything okay?

[Well, once Riku heard the message, he immediately set off for the house. And what better way to do it than to catapult himself off of walls, swing off of trees and dash through the air? It's a time saver, especially now that he can't use dark corridors.

There's also a colorful bat chittering right behind him. Once he spots the bridge, he'll slow down and walk on up to Winry, calm, composed...

His bat's just gonna hover around him for a lil' bit.]

So, what happened with Elicia?

[There has to be a reason why she asked about this to begin with.]

[Well, Winry, your next door neighbor is joining you. He nods in Ed's direction as he approaches, hands stuck in his pockets.

This whole thing has been an unspeakable mess.]

I'm partial to orange chicken. But uh. Is everything alright?

Ummm I've only spoken with her once!! But I would like to be friends! We're the same age and pretty much no one else is my age most people are grandpa or Katara or Uncle Sokka's ages!! Does that count??

Oh also I like anything Katara makes!!

[It's a general request that doesn't sit entirely well with Pepper, but given everything that's happened she can see the concern. She has no doubt Tony will make his way over too, but Pepper heads to the bridge in question on her own, a little surprised to see a young girl standing there.]

Excuse me. Were you the one asking about people who are friends of Elicia?

[Taiki isn't sure if he should go--after all, he's only spoken to Elicia one time. But the lady sounds concerned, and she says it's important, so Taiki eventually does head out. He'd like to be friends with Elicia, after all. They promised to play together, and to have dinner.

So Taiki goes, although he's not sure who he should be looking for. There's someone waiting there, but Taiki still hesitates before he walks up to her.]

Um, excuse me?

[It takes Clint a really long time to build himself up to this. But it needs to be done. He screwed up. It's on his head, and he's not gonna let Tony or Steve take the rap for him.

He goes unarmed and dressed as casually as he can manage, and hovers for a while until there's no-one else around.

He keeps a good distance between them, hands loosely at his sides and trying to look harmless.]

Are you her guardian, miss?

Did something happen to her?

[Grune has only just returned from her spelunking trip with the Brigade, but even though she's a little tired, when she hears the message, she sets out...almost right away.

She also brought with her Sophie, House 34's resident four-year-old. Sophie has only met Elicia the once, but in Grune's mind, that's definitely enough to make them friends.

(Really, it'll probably be something of a relief when Winry sees this particular duo make their extremely slow way towards the bridge, given who some of her visitors were.)

When they get a little closer, she calls out cheerfully:] Hello, Winry!

[Sophie, for her part, just waves. She's not exactly a talkative kid.]

[Whelp. Winry uttered the magic words, so Sanji will take time out of his schedule to drop by. She didn't really specify, and that makes him worry.]

Winry... chan...? Right? [They've met before, very briefly a while back, but the chef cants his head slightly all the same]

[Elicia's probably long been put to bed, but Haruhi's in the living room, reading a book. She would work more on the sewing machine, but she actually thinks that might be too loud, all things considered. Interestingly, the book she is reading is about surgery and may or may not be from Winry's room.

She's up and waiting for Winry and/or Ed to return]

[That gets Jack's attention, all right, meaning he'll be heading right out to that bridge. Remembering his prior conversation with Elicia, he can only assume that this must be Winry, but he can ask about that later. There are more important things right now.]

Did something happen to her?
