♨ 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.]

Comments

[stilldontgotit]

Well, it's not that I can't see why it'd be a little scary. Especially in a place like this.

But I mean, I think it's all about how you approach it. If you think of it as something to fear, then of course it'll feel that way. Luceti's definitely got its rough spots.

[oftheyin]

Thank you.

Is there, um, any food you like? I can try to make it. [If not, you're getting as close to a traditional Xing meal as Ran Fan can make.]

[i_speak_softly]

[He admires your strength.]

How many do you want?

voice;

[tenminutes]

No, that's right. You follow. I'm not ecstatic about being dead again, but I've got things to do in the afterlife.

[godbent]

Well I set up this cart for you and everything, so you could wheel it anywhere. But for now, the living room does seem like a good idea.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

I don't really have just one element that I'm in charge of. I don't even understand all of it myself, because, um... well, I don't have any of my memories of being a summon spirit. I only know about it because other people from my world have told me that it's true.

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

That doesn't mean you can't wish for it sometime in the future. No one ever said you have to get married right now, or even anytime soon. But sometimes it's nice just to dream about those things.

[Action]

[pendantry]

Yeah. I'll tell him. [It would be a lot easier to go through with it if she carried a message from Winry.] He doesn't seem...stubborn. [Like he would ever think to disobey.]

voice

[asobouyo]

Mmm...

[Actually, that's a good question. She doesn't know what books Winry likes; they live together! She should definitely learn, because that's what people who are family do! They listen and learn.

She smiles.]

I'd really really like to hear some from you! Stories you really like.

[menial]

Nope. Just a little bias.

[Voice, Private]

[savedtheworld]

Ikki should be home too. Shouldn't she.

[automailed]

Sophie, right? I've seen her around. She's pretty normal. Has anyone tried asking the Malnosso what it meant?

[Not that he'd expect a straight answer from them, but...]

voice;

[installing]

Responsibilities to take care of after you're dead? Sounds tough.

[Voice]

[installing]

Well, you know? That kind of thing really doesn't matter unless you're thinking long term. You're still a person, right?

[The only problems she foresees is the whole non-aging bit.]

[Voice]

[installing]

...Yeah. Those kinds of things- Those are the kinds of things I dream of.

[installing]

I'm afraid to grow old here, and have my precautions facilitate time wasting. It's a bit complicated.

[installing]

Oh, you can't say you'd rather by a lump on a couch.

[Action]

[installing]

[She looks at the figure with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. Winry picks it up and holds it out to him.]

Are you serious?

voice

[installing]

[-Err. Well. Those kinds of stories aren't for children! But she can tell Elicia about... a great journey and falling in love. Yeah.]

Su-sure! I can do that!

[installing]

If they had I don't know about it. Maybe I should ask sometime.

[She's not positive that the Malnosso would warm up to her, but she can at least ask. She doesn't particularly go to them for much anyway.]

[installing]

[So then she'll start wheeling it out there.]

So you're going to tell me how to turn it on and everything, right?

[Action]

[installing]

No, Hiccup is pretty agreeable, which is nice. In another week or so I think I'll give him some oil and teach him how to polish and clean it.

voice;

[installing]

I do, but I want you to try and make me the tastiest Xing Style dish you know. I'm pretty interested in what kind of food they make over there.

[And if it's anything like Haruhi's cooking.]

[installing]

No more than five? At least two.

[Voice, Private]

[installing]

Mm, yeah. But it's not wrong to cherish the time you have with her here.
