♨ 1 Apple Pie + Eighteen Apples and Cinnamon | Action/Voice ♨

[Back dated to the 11th.

Four. Four birthdays in Luceti. Honestly none of them have ever been very exciting, but maybe it's better that way. Calling attention to age, especially now that she's 20, is a little of a scary thought. Instead she'll act like it's a normal day for most of it. Taking her dog for a walk in the late morning, spending time in the smithy, and even grocery shopping a bit. Eventually sometime in the afternoon, before dinner, she'll ask the village a question:]

A question for everyone: How do you feel about growing older here? Whether you already have or not. Is it scary to think about?
[Families? Relationships? Are they even a good idea? Despite the fact those are things she wants.]

I've known a person to recover in about one year. What he'll need is a lot of rest and practice with his new limb. Support from friends is always good. And I think he's asked to have his surgery wounds healed with magic.

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

I never thought about that kind of stuff when I was littler. But now it seems... It seems like something I'd want. There's nothing wrong with wanting it someday, right? But... I can see some of the bad things of it happening here.

[godbent]

[Heh, that's more like it] Of course!

[menial]

Well, better to try than to just figure you can't, right?

['This is the most hypocritical speech ever.']

[Voice]

[ilyana]

It's nice to meet you Winry... Someday... I really do hope you make a wonderful mother, if that's what you want to do with your life. I can tell you would care a lot for your child.

[installing]

[She laughs.]

Is that really you on the other end, Kyon?

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

There's nothing wrong with wanting a family, but yeah. Having a family here is probably a bad idea.

[She's been thinking about it a lot.]

[installing]

This is great. Do you want to test it out with me?

[Voice]

[installing]

It's nice to meet you too. And, uh... thanks?

[Voice]

[ilyana]

Heh... sorry if that may have sounded a little strange of me to say. I just... like families.

[Ilyana didn't really feel like going into how she'd lost her family when she was young.]

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah. I mean... It'd be risky, right? As long as we go home someday. Cuz... we can't take them back.

[i_speak_softly]

So do I.

I think everyone must feel this way, though.

[godbent]

O...Oh. Sure? If you want - like I said, you might want to do something with Edward or Elicia.

[She crosses her arms, a little... pleased]

I had a couple. I didn't actually make it to college, even though I got in. I wanted to go into either justice, teaching, or social services. All of those kind of had their drawbacks for my personality, of course, but you get three spots on those career plan sheets they make you fill out in high school. [ Not that it ended up mattering. ]

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

No, I just look like one. I'm actually a kind of spirit.

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

It means a lot to me. It's really nice to know there are so many friendly people here.

voice;

[oftheyin]

Oh, um, not a party, but just... anything?

[pendantry]

Healing's good. [Better than just waiting around or taking gross medicine.] The Malnosso better not touch it.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Mm, I understand. But that doesn't mean you can't still enjoy the time that you have here, even if it isn't going to have the happy ending that you want back at home.

[stilldontgotit]

Which is why I'm glad I don't have to deal with it. Growing up's natural, so why fear it?

[automailed]

Which message?

voice;

[installing]

If you really want to continue your education I wonder if there would be suitable books in the library for that. Maybe you can complete things here you weren't able to back home?

[Voice]

[installing]

"Spirit"? Like a ghost?

[Voice]

[installing]

Yeah... I mean I'm really lucky and I shouldn't complain. I have a really great boyfriend and I think it'll be long term.

[Or so she hopes. It's Luceti. Anything could happen. And... if she stays her for so many years- What if they end up stuck? What if she makes it to forty without having kids?]

[installing]

Hah, I guess I'm weird then.
