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

[installing]

[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.]

Wasn't there one that said something like... "Don't have kids. If only we'd known before"?

[installing]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't do anything with you.

[Winry offers the piece of paper to Raven when she is finished writing.]

Can you remind him he's only supposed to be practicing moving that leg in short bursts? And if he needs to get out of bed he should move around with crutches.

[installing]

Not really. Haruhi or Ed might try something, but I don't know if it'll be anything big.

[installing]

I dunno. I just don't want to get "too old."

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

Not only that, but we'd be subjecting them to the dangers of Luceti. And I hear pregnancy only takes three months here, so it must be a real strain on the mother too.

voice;

[installing]

So how have you settled in? Do you know where everything is and how to get to it yet?

[menial]

..Yeah, I ended up in a weird place with that. Forget it. Just sleep in all the time.

[installing]

It's not like I can't sleep in and get work done. There's something comforting about working late into the night and sleeping in the next day.

[menial]

Comforting? I call that "homework."

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

It'd definitely be bad for a mom to get hurt more here. [The one he saw in labor at home had been traumatic enough thank you very much.] And you're right. It's too dangerous here for babies. A lot of us are lucky in a way that we've already been able to get through bad things back home. It'd be wrong to bring a baby up here when this is all it'll know.

[i_speak_softly]

Too old for what?

[A serious question.]

[installing]

Come on, you can't say you don't like being occupied.

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

Even with all that, though...

I don't want to waste my time here waiting to go home or it to get better.

[installing]

Well... to old to have kids. I know it's a bad idea to have them here, but to just sit around wasting all that time...

[i_speak_softly]

[This may be the wrong answer, but:]

Winry, you're barely old enough to have kids.

[installing]

Not this agai-

Excuse me, but it's perfectly okay to get married at eighteen and have kids by twenty one, thank you.

[tenminutes]

It'd be one thing to master it if I had even the tiniest chance at a future, but it's stupid to study it when I'm just going to be dead when I get back and then stop existing after that. It'd be a waste of time.

[menial]

No, I guess I like to have something to do. But I'm usually okay if that something is video games or hanging out with friends.

[installing]

No, there's nothing like a little sweat and elbow grease to make a day feel complete.

voice;

[installing]

Well then what would you rather spend your time here doing?

[i_speak_softly]

[He holds up his hands in surrender.]

Sorry. I'm not very good at human timelines.

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

That... that doesn't leave many options, does it. [The waiting. He can feel that pain. Of waiting for everyone to go home to something like happiness, much more like happiness than what this place has done to them. Waiting for them all to go home and make the choices themselves that they saw as those of a stranger here.]

voice;

[ex_tessen852]

I think so? Or, at least I hope so.

voice;

[oftheyin]

I would like to do something for you. If that is alright. [Like cook her dinner or something.]
