Summary: Scar takes Ed, Winry, and Roy out to their very first rock-concert. Music and dancing ensues. Links to the concert music included!
OOC!Scar: *waiting outside The Trickster a bit nervously with everyone's tickets, done up with black pants strung with chains, a black tank top with alchemical designs (thanks to Ed), and spikes on his newly-black collarbone splint*
IC!Ed: *approaches The Trickster in his Mal-designed rocker outfit, hair down and hands in his pockets, very aware of how shiny his pants are at the moment and very self-conscious about it*
OOC!Scar: Ed! *pounces, whipping an eyeliner pencil out of Ishbala-knows where* Hold still.
OOC!Winry: *still feeling a little awkward in her borrowed clothes, relieved when she sees Mal and Ed as she wasn't entirely sure where the bar was*
IC!Ed: *almost jumps back in shock, eyes wide* Wh-What're you doing?!
OOC!Scar: Putting eyeliner on. Quick, look, Winry's almost here, don't move, man!
IC!Ed: *tries to keep his head still, resisting the urge to squirm away*
OOC!Roy: *comes around the corner feeling extremely self-conscious, dressed fairly normally in a dark blue shirt and black pants but feeling really out of place*
OOC!Scar: *outlines Ed's eyes and then, on the spur of the moment, adds small upside-down triangles beneath them; nods his approval* Perfect, now I gotta do mine- Oh, hey Roy, Winry, over here! *waves*
OOC!Winry: *quickly heads over, a little confused when she sees the eyeliner on Ed, not sure she wants to know* Ah...
IC!Ed: *blinks, eyes watering a little 'cause that was a really weird thing to happen just now, then turns and starts looking around to see who's arrived*
OOC!Roy: *walks over, raising his eyebrows at the eyeliner on Ed* Hello. Um. *feeling really, really out of place now that he's seen what everyone else is wearing*
IC!Ed: *gives Roy a look that very clearly states "ask about the eyeliner and shiny pants and die"*
OOC!Scar: *talking while putting on his eyeliner* Hey Roy, y'see the bag by my foot? There should be a really sweet coat in it I brought for you, just dig in there and find it, will ya? *speaking much faster than usual, so excited*
OOC!Winry: *looks around and feels slightly better about what she's wearing when she sees other people dressed similarily* So, what was this band called again?
OOC!Roy: O-Okay ... um, thanks? *crouches down to dig around in the bag, then pulls out a leather trenchcoat; blinks at it, then smiles slightly and stands up, pulling it on* Um. Thanks, Mal.
OOC!Scar: 's what I'm here for.
IC!Ed: *is only now noticing Winry's outfit, and is trying very very hard not to gawk at her*
OOC!Winry: *sees how Ed's looking at her, avoids eye contact as her face takes on a pink tint*
OOC!Scar: And the band's ... uh. *glances at the poster on the window* The Crying Shame. WICKED. *so glad he had new friends in this dimension to share fun times with*
IC!Ed: *has to look away, blushing and rubbing the back of his neck*
OOC!Scar: *claps his hands* Great just ... one last thing... *whips out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on - it defeats the purpose of the eyeliner, other than the fact that HE knows it's there*
OOC!Roy: *smiles at Mal* So, what time does the, um, concert start?
OOC!Scar: Ten minutes ago, but don't worry - the opening acts always suck. Shall we? *noticing the interaction between Ed and Winry, purposefully bumps into Ed with his good shoulder, making him stumble in her direction*
IC!Ed: *BUMPED* AH! *staggers toward Winry, manages to recover, but is now about a foot away from her*
OOC!Winry: *didn't notice Mal bumping Ed, but notices the staggering* Er, are you all right, Ed?
IC!Ed: *goes a little rigid, cheeks turning red as he straightens himself* Uh, y-yeah... I'm fine...
OOC!Roy: *raises his eyebrows at Mal, wondering what exactly he's up to*
OOC!Scar: *catches the look from Roy, BIG GRIN* So, tickets. You guys can pay me back now or whenever you can, it's no problem... *starts handing them out* And Winry, you don't have to, my treat.
OOC!Winry: *smiles at Ed before taking the ticket* Are you sure? I don't mind paying for it...
IC!Ed: *steps away from Winry, feeling thoroughly embarrassed. gets his ticket from Mal and reaches for his wallet* I'll pay for mine now...
OOC!Roy: *takes the ticket* Thanks, Mal. Me too, um, if that's OK?
IC!Ed: *starts riffling through the bills in his wallet* How much were they?
OOC!Scar: Winry, seriously. Lemme get this. *winks behind the sunglasses* They were ten, you guys, cough up. Sorry not to treat you all, but I've only got enough money for the cute girls, you know how it is. *sage nod*
IC!Ed: *blushes some more the "cute girls" comment since it's directed at Winry and quickly forks over the money* ...Here.
OOC!Roy: *laughs; pulls out his wallet and gets the money, holding it out Mal still grinning* There you go. And thank you again for getting the tickets - and for inviting me.
OOC!Winry: *feels a little bad that everyone else is paying for their ticket, but doesn't want to make a big fuss over it* All right, if you say so... Thanks, Mal.
OOC!Scar: *collects the money and shoves it in a pocket - draws out a pair of fingerless fishet gloves* Oh yeah, shit, almost forgot these... *puts them on, then indicates they should do in, leading the way*
IC!Ed: *follows, quiet for once, trying to calm himself down 'cause all that blushing was tiring*
OOC!Roy: *follows Mal, feeling vaguely apprehensive*
OOC!Winry: *heads in, fascinated with what's inside* I've never been in a bar before...
OOC!Scar: *grins, the loud bass and music slamming into him like a wall* Oh yeah, I KNEW it was gonna be wicked! *devil horns with one hand, then turns to check on his friends*
OOC!Winry: *wasn't expecting the music to be this loud, resists the urge to cover her ears* Is it always this noisy at concerts?
IC!Ed: *looks around the inside of the place, a grin slowly creeping onto his face as he listens to the music and finding that it is pretty damn cool. looks over at Mal and nods at the devil horns* What're you doing with your hand?
OOC!Scar: Yeah! *shouting over the din* Don't worry, you get used to it, I've got earplugs if it gets too bad...
OOC!Scar: *shows Ed how to do the devil horns* 's the symbol of ROCK, man!
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen at the volume of the music* Wow, this is ... different.
OOC!Scar: Y'alright, Roy? *a bit concerned since this doesn't seem to be his thing as much, dugs around in yet another of his pockets and gets out two sets of earplugs; offers one to Winry and one to Roy* Here.
IC!Ed: *mimics the "symbol of rock" with his automail hand and copies Mal, starting to get into it*
OOC!Winry: *shakes her head* I think I'll be fine without those... *hopes she gets used to it real soon, tries to imitate the devil horns* ...Like this?
OOC!Roy: Oh, um - it's OK, it just ... it's louder than I was expecting, that's all! *smiles* Not bad, though ...
OOC!Scar: *giggles, reaches over and adjusts her hand a bit, just and excuse to touch her hand really, he's so sly* There!
IC!Ed: *looks over at Winry and grins, holding up his own devil horn hand so she can see* Got it?
OOC!Winry: Oh! *blinks* So that's how you do it... *slightly proud smile* I think I got it now.
lluminata by Unfinished Thought starts to play
OOC!Scar: *looks up as a new song starts, whistling and elbowing Ed, leaning in to whisper* Dude, that singer? She is hot!
IC!Ed: *looks at the girl Mal's gestured to, eyes go a little wider*
OOC!Roy: *watching the band absently, enjoying the music, tapping his foot without really realizing he's doing it*
OOC!Winry: *moving a little to the beat* I've never heard music like this before.
OOC!Roy: No, me neither - it's not bad though ... I like it. *grins at Winry*
IC!Ed: *head starts bumping to the beat while listening*
OOC!Scar: It's rock! Oh, man, just you wait til I can play again. I'm gonna make the band to end all bands *pushes up sunglasses, and then claps Roy on the shoulder*
OOC!Scar: Glad ya like it, man. Here, let's get a bit closer *weaving through the packed crowd, beckoning the others to follow*
IC!Ed: *blinks when Mal starts moving and starts to follow, without thinking grabs onto Winry's wrist so she doesn't get separated* C'mon!
OOC!Roy: *follows the others as closely as possible, trying not to bump into anybody and apologising profusely when he accidentally does*
OOC!Winry: Ah! *surprised at the sudden grabbing, turns red as she follows*
OOC!Scar: *settles in about halfway from the stage, completely comfortable in the tight crowd*
IC!Ed: *finally catches up with Mal, glances at him then back at Winry to check that she's okay*
OOC!Winry: *can't believe there are this many people in one spot* Is it always this crowded?
OOC!Roy: *slinks into a small gap in the crowd behind them, glancing around him at all the people, not used to being crushed in between so many bodies*
OOC!Scar: Yeah, 's a part of the excitment... *voice quiets as a more mellow song comes on*
Umbrella by Unfinished Thought starts
IC!Ed: *quickly checks around to see where Roy's gone before turning his attention back on stage as the next song starts up*
OOC!Winry: *shrugs and watches the singer intently, wondering if she'd ever be able to sing like that*
OOC!Scar: *twists around to try to see where Roy is, grabbing a hold of his trenchcoat and pulling him a bit closer, into their little niche*
OOC!Roy: *is dragged forwards a bit and sighs in relief, flashing Mal a smile* Uh, thanks.
OOC!Scar: No problem, man. *moves to sling an arm around Ed's shoulder, winces when he realizes rather abruptly that he doesn't have quite that degree of mobility back yet ... just puches him lightly in the arm instead*
OOC!Roy: *notices Mal wincing and frowns slightly, leaning over to ask* Are you OK?
IC!Ed: *gets the light punch and looks over at Mal in confusion* Hm?
OOC!Winry: *no idea what she should be doing, embarrassed she has to ask this* Mal, what exactly do you do at a concert?
OOC!Scar: Just enjoy the music. Dance. Dress up.
OOC!Scar: Sweet, look! *points to the stage where the opening act are taking their bows and being shunted off for the main act*
IC!Ed: *looks to where Mal's pointing, blinks* Main act coming on?
OOC!Winry: All right. *wonders what kind of dancing is done at a concert in such a small space* The Crying Shame is going to be playing soon, right?
OOC!Scar: Yeah. *checks out the outfits of those around them in the brief quiet time while people set up the stage* I can get drinks if you guys want..?
IC!Ed: *looks back at Mal and smiles a bit* That sounds good. You need any help with that?
OOC!Roy: Yeah, um, OK. If you don't mind going ... *smiles; was going to offer to help, but three people going would be silly*
OOC!Winry: Sure... Do they have anything non-alcoholic here?
IC!Ed: *blinks, hadn't really thought about whether or not the drinks were alcoholic* Uh...
OOC!Scar: Naw, just a sec... I'll get ya some juice or something, Winry *grabs Ed and helps him wind through the crowd*
IC!Ed: *gets dragged, letting out a surprised yelp before recovering and following obediently*
OOC!Roy: *smiles at Winry* So, um ... enjoying the concert?
OOC!Winry: *smiles back, nodding* Yeah, though it's nothing like I expected.
OOC!Roy: I ... wasn't sure what to expect, really. *laughs* It's good though! I sort of thought I wasn't going to like it, but ... *shrugs* I was wrong.
OOC!Scar: *once they arrive at the bar, a bit out of breath* So Ed, whatcha want?
IC!Ed: *looks around at the bar and shrugs* I dunno. Uh... what's good?
( (I Hate) Everything About You )
OOC!Winry: I didn't know what I'd think of it since I've never heard this kind of music before. I wonder why it isn't that popular where we're from...
OOC!Roy: Yeah, it's strange - it's catchy and everything, you'd think more people would like it ...
OOC!Scar: *looks up as the band begins to play* Shit, we gotta hurry. Can I have two bottles of juice...
OOC!Scar: *talking louder as the band gets louder* And two shots, thanks... *takes them quickly from the girl, handing one tiny glass to Ed, raising his eyebrows expectantly* To rock!
IC!Ed: *takes the glass and gives it an odd look* Uh, yeah. To rock.
OOC!Winry: *shrugs* Maybe no one thought to play music like this. *decides what the hell and starts dancing the best she can when the band begins playing*
OOC!Scar: *downs it in a practiced gulp, slamming the glass down on the bar and grabbing the bottled orange juices*
IC!Ed: *imitates Mal, not sure what else to do, gulping it down and then slamming it down on the bar with more force than intended, gasping a little* WHOA. What the hell was that stuff?!
OOC!Scar: Y'know what? I'm not quite sure! *delighted by this* Want one more before we go?
IC!Ed: *left a little disoriented by the taste of whatever in the world that was* Uh...
OOC!Roy: *grins at Winry, but really isn't confident enough to start dancing; taps his foot, nodding his head in time to the music*
OOC!Scar: *orders another two, not wanting to make the others wait but sadistically wanting to see if Ed can stomach another* Bottoms up!
OOC!Winry: *keeps an eye on the people around her, not wanting to bump into anyone*
IC!Ed: *hesitantly takes the new glass in hand and gulps it down when Mal does*
OOC!Scar: *smacks him in the middle of the back bracingly, tossing the money onto the bar and thanking Ishbala for tips at the record store* Let's go back now, huh?
( Home )
IC!Ed: *exhales loudly, really wishing he knew what in the hell he just drank, and nods in response* Y-Yeah.
OOC!Roy: *looks around for Mal and Ed, wondering where they've got to*
OOC!Scar: *arrives back, handing off the bottles, a little red in the face from the liquor* This music? This is hardcore!
OOC!Roy: *takes the bottle, grinning* Thank you. It is really good!
IC!Ed: *trailing behind Mal, bobbing his head to the music, also a little red in the face* It's fuckin' great!
OOC!Scar: How you diggin' it, Winry?
OOC!Winry: *stops dancing so she can take the juice* Thanks. I love it! It's easy to dance to.
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah, that reminds me! Ed! Headbanging one-oh-fuckin'-one, you guys listen, too...
IC!Ed: Oh yeahhh. That headbanging thing. Something to do with hair, right...?
OOC!Scar: So a song with a wicked drum line like this, right? You just wanna stomp along or something
OOC!Scar: So the reason I had you wear your hair down ... *points to a guy with waist-length hair nearby who has flung it in front of his face and who is bobbing his head violently in time with the music*
IC!Ed: *looks over to where Mal is pointing and sort of stares* ...WHOA. You want me to do that?
OOC!Roy: *stares at the guy Mal points to, wondering how he's managing to do that without getting a massive headache*
OOC!Scar: Try it! I mean, maybe not THAT much, but!
OOC!Winry: *watches* ...That's headbanging?
( Pain )
OOC!Scar: A-yep!
IC!Ed: *gives a silly grin, 'cause either he has a really weak tolerance for alcohol or whatever he drank was strong or both, then shrugs* Alright.
IC!Ed: *watches the headbanging guy a little longer and then starts to imitate him for a little while*
OOC!Winry: *giggles as she watches Ed* I think I'm gonna stick to dancing.
OOC!Scar: *headbanging himself despite the lack of hair, picking up the lyrics of the song and singing along, though it's impossible to hear him over the band themselves*
OOC!Roy: *laughs and shakes his head at Ed and Mal*
IC!Ed: *stops headbanging after a while, throwing his hair back behind him and laughing* That was really weird feeling!
OOC!Roy: I can imagine ...
OOC!Scar: *stops as well, shaking his head to clear it* Makes you a bit dizzy, huh?
OOC!Winry: *amused smile* Don't give yourself a headache.
IC!Ed: *laughs some more* Yeah, sorta! *grins over at Winry* I won't.
OOC!Roy: *remembers that he has a bottle of juice and drinks some of it*
OOC!Scar: *listens for a while as the band finishes the song and starts to announce various things about their interdimensional tour, then turns to face everyone* Havin' fun?
OOC!Roy: Yeah, the band is great! *grins* Thank you so much for getting me a ticket.
OOC!Winry: *nods, glancing at the band a moment before turning her attention to Mal* Definitely. It's nice getting the chance to go out with some friends.
IC!Ed: *nods, pushing some hair out of his eyes* Yeah! Your rock music is great!
OOC!Scar: *laughs triumphantly, throwing back his head* Fuckin' told ya!
( Take Me Under )
OOC!Winry: I hope they stop by my dimension during their tour and make this kind of music popular...
OOC!Roy: *laughs* It would be pretty amazing if they made rock music popular throughout the dimensions ... I wouldn't be surprised, though ...
OOC!Scar: I'm gonna do my damn best with this dimension, that's for sure. *gesutres around* Most of these folks look like fans ... probably followin' 'em around on the tour.
OOC!Winry: Weirder things have happened. *raises an eyebrow* Wait, people do that? Follow bands when they go on tour, I mean?
( Never Too Late )
OOC!Scar: Well, yeah. Some people do...
OOC!Scar: *stops dancing as a slower song comes in, in favour of just swaying from side to side with the rest of the crowd*
IC!Ed: *starts nodding his head in time as a new song starts up. not too out of it to understand what they're talking about* How do they do that? If it's interdimensional, isn't it hard to follow 'em?
OOC!Roy: And how does the band move between the dimensions anyway ...? I mean, they must have planned this, so they must know how ...
OOC!Winry: Huh. *really liking this song, watching the band intently*
OOC!Scar: Uh... I have no fuckin' idea. Um... I got here with my guitar, maybe they can do that, too?
IC!Ed: *nodding and swaying, his brain trying to work despite the funny fog that seems to be encompassing it*
OOC!Roy: You got here with your guitar? ... That's different! *laughs, then notices Ed just sort of swaying and frowns a bit; decides to keep his eye on him from now on*
OOC!Winry: *tears herself away from the music long enough to give Mal a confused look* How did you do that?
OOC!Scar: Yeah, it freaked me out, and I've got no idea. I haven't had a chance to try it since, cause I didn't have my plugs and then ...uh ... stuff happened, but as soon as I can I'm gonna try it again.
IC!Ed: But they got here on purpose... *nods at the band on stage*
( Animal I Have Become )
OOC!Winry: Wow. It'd be impressive if you could do it again. It's certainly a more interesting way to get here than just showing up like I did... *takes a drink of juice*
OOC!Scar: They must be able to control it, then. Shit, if I could do that? That would be hardcore.
IC!Ed: ... Can we ask 'em later?
OOC!Scar: .... We can try! *devil horns as the new song starts, headbanging again*
OOC!Roy: If we can get close enough *eyes the crowd in front of them* ...
IC!Ed: *grins and devil horns along with Mal* We'll figure somethin' out!
OOC!Winry: Goodluck with that. *starting to really get into this*
OOC!Scar: *enjoying the really high energy of the crowd* I know you guys haven't been to any concerts before, but this one is so fuckin' amazing.
( Let It Die )
OOC!Scar: So, Roy! *yelling over the music* I can't remember if you told me, are you from this dimension?
OOC!Roy: *also yelling to be heard* Oh, no! I'm from the same dimension as Clara - it's really similar to this one, though. A few significant differences, but ...
IC!Ed: *really getting into this song, grins eagerly and devil horns with the music*
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah, cool! *notices that Ed is relaxing and is glad he bought him some drinks*
OOC!Winry: *slows down her dancing a little for the new song, raising her voice to be heard* That's the same dimension I'm from, isn't it?
OOC!Roy: Uh, probably *smiles* Does your Fuhrer have a ... cookie obsession?
OOC!Scar: *looks scandalized, gaping at Roy, surprised he had it in him* Does her WHAT have a WHAT?!
IC!Ed: *blinks, having heard that over the music, and turns toward everyone, wondering why Mal looks so panicked* What happened?
OOC!Roy: ... *stares at Mal in complete confusion* WHAT? *blushes at the thought of what Mal thought he said* Um, I think you misheard me ...
OOC!Winry: *laughs* I believe he does. I never understood why, though... *gives Mal a weird look, not getting what's wrong*
OOC!Scar: *so not getting it* What's a furr-er? Is that ... slang?
OOC!Scar: It sounds kind of dirty. *makes a face*
IC!Ed: *looks between everyone, momentarily confused, and then laughs when he realizes what just happened*
OOC!Scar: Hey, man, come on! What is it?
IC!Ed: The fuhrer! He's the president of the country!
OOC!Winry: *nods* That's all it is. Nothing dirty about it...
OOC!Scar: Oh. *bursts out laughing, cheeks flaming with embarrassment and the shots he drank earlier* Dude, OOPS.
OOC!Scar: *giggles*
IC!Ed: *laughs some more*
OOC!Scar: Now I just look dumb.
( Just Like You )
OOC!Roy: *laughs nervously, so very glad that that was cleared up* It's - it's OK, you're ... not from this dimension, so ...
OOC!Scar: *dances vigorously to cover up for it*
OOC!Winry: *smiles, shaking her head* Yeah, there was no way you could know what that meant.
IC!Ed: *slaps Mal on the back, grinning* Don't worry about it, coulda happened to anybody!
OOC!Scar: *slaps Ed back in a friendly, manly sort of way*
IC!Ed: *slaps Mal's back again in the same way*
OOC!Scar: *and again, never to be outdone*
IC!Ed: *one more time, for good measure*
OOC!Scar: *loses his balance and bowls over poor Roy-chan*
IC!Ed: *blinks, shocked*
OOC!Winry: *laughs at all the back slapping, suddenly stops when Roy-chan gets involved* Oh dear...
IC!Ed: *then laughs, 'cause he's sort of drunk*
OOC!Scar: *giggles a bit higher-pitched than usual, bringing one hand up to his mouth* Sorry man!
OOC!Roy: * is taken completely by surprise*
OOC!Roy: *has spilled orange juilce all over himself and Mal's coat* Uh. It's ok ... Um, are you all right? *seriously wondering what the pair of them drank while they were at the bar right now*
OOC!Winry: *worried* You guys should be more careful...
OOC!Scar: Yeah, shit, I'm fine. Sorry. *regains his balance*
IC!Ed: *grin broadens* See? He's fine, he's fine...
OOC!Scar: *scoffs* Aw, come on, we're fine. We aren't even in the mosh up there... *nods to a circle of very rowdy guys in the front, who they are a safe distance from*
OOC!Winry: Mosh? *eyes the guys, very glad they're not near them* That can't be safe.
OOC!Roy: *kind of preoccupied with dabbing ineffectually at the juice, but looks up at the rowdy group and pulls a face* I really wouldn't like to be stuck in the middle of them ...
( Riot )
OOC!Scar: Are you kidding? It's so fun ... maybe next time. *hiccup*
OOC!Roy: ... Right. If you say so. *does not believe him about this at all*
IC!Ed: *looks over and makes a face at the unruly guys, wondering if any of them are about to start a fight*
OOC!Winry: It doesn't look very fun...
OOC!Scar: Awwwww! *whines with everyone else in the crowd when the band announces this is their last song*
IC!Ed: *joins in the whining*
OOC!Winry: *doesn't whine, but looks thoroughly disappointed*
OOC!Roy: *also looks very disappointed*
IC!Ed: *devil horns enthusiastically to this song, 'cause it's fun and he likes it*
OOC!Scar: *a bit dizzy and winded from dancing so much, but wanting to get all his energy out on this last song*
OOC!Roy: *decides what the hell, it's the last song, he's going to dance a bit*
OOC!Winry: *dances wildly, figuring she might as well since it's the last song and she doesn't know when she'll get to do this again*
OOC!Scar: *lets out a huge sigh as the last chords die out, then begins to cheer wildly as The Crying Shame take their bows... or rather pump their fists in the air and then walk off*
IC!Ed: *cheers as well, pumping a fist in the air as the band gets off stage*
OOC!Winry: *gets caught up in the moment and cheers as loud as she can*
OOC!Roy: *cheers along with the rest of them*
IC!Ed: *suddenly remembers something and nudges Mal and Roy in their sides* Hey hey, we should go ask 'em how they shift dimensions on purpose!
OOC!Roy: Yeah ... do you think we'll be able to?
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah! Hey ... follow me, we should try to meet 'em in back... *grabs Ed's and Roy's wrists, shoulder his way through the crowd to the side*
IC!Ed: *grabs Winry's wrist before getting pulled too far off so she comes along*
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen as he's dragged off, glad that Ed remembered Winry*
OOC!Winry: *relieved when Ed grabs her wrist, not wanting to get left behind*
OOC!Scar: *haHA, his secret plan worked!; giggles*
IC!Ed: *completely not even thinking about stuff like that, his single mindedness and one track mind coming in handy that way*
OOC!Scar: *waits with them beside the backstage door as the rest of the crowd slowly disperses, catching his breath*
OOC!Winry: You think they'll let you in to see them?
IC!Ed: *grins at Winry* We can sure as hell try.
OOC!Roy: So, um ... are we just going to wait for them, or ....?
IC!Ed: *suddenly realizes that he's still holding Winry's wrist. just stares at his hand for a while as though he's not sure it belongs to him, then finally lets go and looks away, trying to pretend that didn't happen*
OOC!Scar: I'll knock, just give 'em a few minutes.... *tilts his head against the wall* Shit, that was intense.
OOC!Winry: *smiles back, had forgotten his hand was there until he moves it and blushes*
OOC!Roy: *grins* They were pretty amazing.
OOC!Scar: *takes off his sunglasses, slipping them into his pocket and running the back of his hand over his forehead*
IC!Ed: *leans against the wall while waiting, sort of humming the last song they played since it's stuck in his head*
OOC!Scar: *thinks that they've waited long enough, goes over and knocks on the door .... nothing*
OOC!Scar: Uhhh... maybe not?
IC!Ed: *blinks* ...Not in?
OOC!Roy: Oh dear ... *sighs* Maybe there's another door ...
OOC!Winry: *looks down at her clothes, feeling a lot more comfortable in them now* Maybe they're busy?
IC!Ed: *shakes his head* If we need another door, hell, I'll make one.
OOC!Scar: *knocks louder this time, and a roadie sticks her head out, her face pierced in about 20 places*
Roadie: Yeah?
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen* Edward, I really wouldn't do that, if I were you.
IC!Ed: *frowns at Roy, sort of pouting like a little kid* Okay, okay, I won't...
OOC!Winry: *stares at the roadie for a moment before realizing how rude that is and looks away*
OOC!Scar: Yeah ... we were wondering, uh ... could we talk to the band?
IC!Ed: *just now noticing that someone has answered the door and turns to see what's going on*
Roadie: *blinks, laughs dryly* No. *slams door a few inches from Mal's nose*
OOC!Roy: ... What a lovely person.
OOC!Winry: *frowns* ...Well, that was rude.
IC!Ed: *narrows eyes* ...I say I make the door.
OOC!Scar: *eyes wide* Yeah, no kiddin'
OOC!Roy: You really shouldn't, you know - it'll just get us all into trouble ...
OOC!Scar: Naw, man, it's cool. They're prolly tired as hell, let's just beat it.
IC!Ed: *frowns, kind of disappointed* ... Fine.
OOC!Winry: They plan to play around here again, right? You'll probably have another chance to ask them later.
OOC!Scar: Sure, sure thing. Let's go out this way... *nods to a side door and then opens it for Winry, stumbling over himself a bit in the process*
IC!Ed: *considers this for a moment and eventually nods* Guess so.
OOC!Winry: *walks out, watching Mal* You okay?
OOC!Scar: Are you kiddin'? I'm awesome!
IC!Ed: *laughs a bit at Mal's response before going out the way he's indicating*
OOC!Roy: *laughs and follows Ed out*
OOC!Winry: *giggles* Glad to hear it! Thanks again for the concert. It was fun!
OOC!Roy: Yeah, I had a great time, Mal - thank you again, so much!
IC!Ed: *grins back over at Mal* We gotta do this again!
OOC!Roy: *grins at Ed* Yeah, we should. Um, that is ... if you don't mind me tagging along ...
OOC!Scar: *slaps Roy's shoulder* Definitely, man.
OOC!Scar: And yeah, I'll let you guys know if I hear anything
IC!Ed: *slaps Roy's other shoulder, just because*
OOC!Scar: *looking around at the unfamiliar dark street* Uh ... where are we?
OOC!Winry: All right, I look forward to it! I wonder if I could Al to come to one of these...
IC!Ed: *brow furrows in confusion* Al...? Turtle Al, Alfons, or Hei...?
OOC!Roy: ... *looks around, not recognising anything either because he's never been here before* Uh. Winry, Edward? Do either of you know where we are?
OOC!Winry: No, my Al. *shakes her head* No idea. I've never been around here before.
IC!Ed: *interrupts his own train of thought to pay attention to what Roy and Mal are asking, looks around* ... I don't... know...
OOC!Scar: It's ... *looks around, gets his bearings* OK, cool, this way and then two rights and we're at the front again...
IC!Ed: *nods and starts going off that way* ... Head feels kinda funny.
OOC!Scar: *chuckles darkly*
OOC!Winry: Oh good. For a moment there I thought we might be lost... *follows Ed*
OOC!Roy: *catches what Edward said and frowns, hurrying to catch him up* Are you all right?
IC!Ed: *glances at Roy and nods slowly* Yeah... Head just feels weird.
OOC!Winry: You going to be able to get home fine?
OOC!Scar: *stumbles on something, bends to pick it up* Oh, cool, look, a locket... *hiccups*
IC!Ed: *nods again* I'll just walk it off. Fresh air good.
OOC!Roy: *glances at Mal* Maybe we should go and hand it in at the bar ...?
OOC!Scar: I'll bring it tomorrow, 's on my way to work...
OOC!Winry: All right, but be careful... *blinks, taking a look at the locket* I wonder who lost it.
OOC!Roy: OK, then. *smiles, and then turns his attention back to Ed* Are you sure you'll be all right? *doesn't want to suggest walking him home, because that sounds stupid, but still kind of wants to*
OOC!Scar: I dunno... *squints at it, getting a better look once they're on the larger, street-lamp lit* Hey this looks... *trails off*
IC!Ed: *nods yet again* Sure. 100%. I'll be okay. *turns to look at Mal and the locket* ...What's wrong?
OOC!Roy: *goes to peer at the locket with Mal*
OOC!Scar: *frowning at the locket, turning it around and around to make sure* 's Ishbalan. Weird. *forces himself to put it in his pocket for the time being*
IC!Ed: *blinks* ...Weird.
OOC!Winry: *blinks* Really? That's odd...
OOC!Roy: *frowns* I wonder how that got here ...
OOC!Scar: *shrugs* Search me, I dunno... Ed, y'OK? *catches him when he stumbles, only marginally more steady on his own feet*
OOC!Winry: Well, however it got there, I hope it gets returned to its owner. *frowns as she looks from Mal to Ed* How much did you two drink, anyway?
IC!Ed: *nods and frowns, not realizing that he'd stumbled. tries to steady himself* M'fine.
OOC!Scar: Pssshhh, we only had two. *just realizing* Hey, Winry, 's kinda late ... you want us to walk ya home?
IC!Ed: *glances at Roy* Two little glasses of... something.
OOC!Roy: ... Right. You know, I think it might be a good idea if you didn't go home on your own, Edward ... and you Mal ...
OOC!Winry: They must've been fairly strong... *hadn't realized it either, sighs* You wouldn't be able to walk all the way...
IC!Ed: *waves them off* Naw, I'm fine. *looks at Winry* ...Money for cab?
OOC!Scar: Why don't ... we could all just split a cab and then ... take everyone home?
IC!Ed: *nods at Mal's suggestion* And I can pay...?
OOC!Roy: That would be a very good idea. They'll have a telephone in the bar, won't they?
OOC!Scar: Naw, 's cool, look, there are a bunch right there... *gestures to some cabs idling in front of the bar, clearly in the know that there would be customers that night*
OOC!Winry: *wishes her outfit had a spot for a wallet so she could've offered to pay some of it* ...That sounds good.
IC!Ed: Okay then, let's go. *starts for the cabs*
OOC!Roy: *follows Ed* We can go halves with the payment if you want, Edward, I don't mind.
IC!Ed: *decides that's fair and nods* Alright.
OOC!Scar: *opens the door of a cab for Winry, chivalrously*
OOC!Winry: *follows after them* I pay you back for the ride tomorrow. *smiles at Mal as she gets in* Thank you.
IC!Ed: *frowns a little bit when he notices that, wishing he'd thought to do that first*
OOC!Scar: *gets into the cab as well* Winry, you should get to go home first ... tell 'im your address...
IC!Ed: *also gets into the cab*
OOC!Roy: *gets into the cab after Mal*
OOC!Winry: Erm, okay... *tells the driver the closest address to where she is* I'm still going to have to do a bit of walking.
OOC!Roy: *frowns* Will you be all right? It is late after all ...
IC!Ed: *brow furrows* ...Why can't we have the cab take you straight there, Winry?
OOC!Scar: *joins in* Yeah ... that's not good ....
OOC!Winry: Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry! *a little embarrassed as she explains it* Erm, well, there's not really a road going directly there...
IC!Ed: ...It's not a long walk, is it?
OOC!Winry: *shakes her head* It's not that long.
IC!Ed: *nods slowly* Well... that's good...
IC!Ed: *still concerned*
OOC!Scar: *shakes his head* That's bad, somethin' could happen, even with that.
OOC!Scar: *frets*
OOC!Winry: Really, I'll be fine. No need to worry.
OOC!Roy: Well, if you're sure ... *still not happy about this, and still going to worry*
IC!Ed: *frowns at Winry* ...Be careful.
OOC!Winry: *hates making people worry like this* Will it make you all feel better if I call you when I get home so you know I'm fine?
OOC!Scar: *gnaws at his bottom lip, then brightens at the suggestion* Yeah.
IC!Ed: *tries to remember if he has a phone in his apartment*
OOC!Roy: *nods* Would you, please?
OOC!Winry: *smiles* Write down your phone numbers and I'll call you as soon as I can.
OOC!Scar: D'you know Clara's number?
OOC!Winry: *nods* Yeah, I keep forgetting you're staying there now.
OOC!Roy: Um. Does anyone have anything to write on? ... Or with ...?
IC!Ed: *remembers that there's some sort of clerk/receptionist type person that takes phone calls in his building, so decides to use that number* Um... it's military lodgings, so I guess you could just leave a message...
IC!Ed: *pulls out his wallet and pulls out a bill* ...Write on money?
OOC!Scar: *kind of zoning out now, his head hazy from the shots and the sudden lack of pounding bass*
IC!Ed: *stares at the bill in his hand for a moment* ...Still need a pen.
OOC!Roy: ... *laughs at Edward's suggestion, because it's just unexpected*
OOC!Winry: *blinks, staring at the bill* ...You don't need to do that. If you have to, I can just write the numbers on my hand.
OOC!Scar: *pulls out the eyeliner pencil*
IC!Ed: *turns slowly to look at Winry* ... Still need a pen.
IC!Ed: *eyes go wide, since he currently finds it very clever of Mal to pull that pencil out of nowhere* Ooh, that works...
OOC!Roy: *grins at Mal* Great idea!
OOC!Scar: *giggles* No problem, cutie.
IC!Ed: *snickers, addresses Roy* He called you "cutie"...
OOC!Scar: *pats Roy's cheek absently, giggling even more, red-faced*
OOC!Winry: Perfect! *to Ed* Now, do you want to waste your money on this or can I just write the numbers on my hand?
IC!Ed: *turns and stares at Winry for a moment, then suddenly blushes and holds the bill out for her*
OOC!Roy: ... *eyes widen, taking the eyeliner pencil from Mal very carefully* Yes, I noticed thank you, Edward ...
IC!Ed: *nods at Roy* You're welcome.
OOC!Winry: *takes the money, still unsure about this* You sure I can use it for something like this?
IC!Ed: *nods vigorously* I don't need it. And there's plenty more.
OOC!Scar: *taking off his gloves, shifting in his seat to keep the spikes on his splint from poking anyone*
OOC!Winry: All right, if you say so... Can I please have the eyeliner, Roy?
OOC!Roy: Oh! Yes, of - of course! *passes her the eyeliner*
OOC!Winry: *smiles at him as she takes it* So, what're your numbers?
OOC!Scar: *tapping out the drum line of one of those songs on his knees with his fingers*
IC!Ed: *strains to remember the number, then tells it to Winry* Military lodgings, so... You can just leave a message or, or somethin'...
OOC!Roy: *tells Winry his phone number* I'll stay up until you call, make sure you're OK ... *smiles*
OOC!Winry: *nods, writing down the numbers carefully* Okay, I'll call first thing I get home!
OOC!Roy: Thank you.
IC!Ed: *smiles a little drowsily* Good.
OOC!Winry: No problem. *glances out the window* I think we're almost at my stop...
OOC!Scar: *hiccups softly* Thanks for comin', Winry! *beams*
IC!Ed: *grins slowly* See ya soon, Winry.
OOC!Roy: You be careful, all right?
OOC!Scar: Yeah. Please, be careful? *very serious suddenly* Cause you never know, K? *pats her hand clumsily*
IC!Ed: *nods solemnly in agreement with Roy and Mal*
OOC!Winry: No, thank you for inviting me! I'll return the clothes to you tomorrow, all right? *smiles at them, blushing a little at the hand patting* I'll see you later and I'll be fine!
OOC!Winry: It was nice hanging out with you all. Bye! *steps out as the cab pulls up, waves before heading off*
IC!Ed: *smiles back and sort of waves* Bye, Winry.
OOC!Roy: *waves through the cab window, smiling*
OOC!Scar: *waves too*
OOC!Scar: So ... Ed next?
OOC!Scar: Or ... me? *can't really think any more, giggles apologetically*
IC!Ed: *blinks, also can't really think* ... Okay?
OOC!Roy: Uhm, who lives closer? One of you just tell the cab driver, hmm?
IC!Ed: *nods, glad for once that he's being told what to do 'cause thinking is hard right now*
OOC!Scar: *taps the driver on the shoulder and tells him Clara's address, then settles back down*
OOC!Scar: That was fun... *repeating himself now, still wants to say it again*
IC!Ed: *was just about to tell the driver his address and settles back in a slight pout when Mal beats him to it*
OOC!Roy: Yeah, it was. *smiles at Mal*
IC!Ed: Was nice... fun with lots of people.
OOC!Scar: *gets the locket out and starts looking at it again as they drive*
OOC!Roy: *glances at the locket* The designs on that are interesting ... I wonder who it belongs to ...
IC!Ed: *glances lazily at the locket, slumping a little in his seat now* ...Shiny.
OOC!Scar: *fumbles it* Shit! *it pops open and spills someting into his hand* ...what?
IC!Ed: *jerks into awareness with the exclamation and leans forward toward Mal* What happened?
OOC!Scar: *holds it up in the light, turning them around in the light* It looks ... like medicine?
IC!Ed: *blinks*
OOC!Roy: *frowns* Maybe you should just put them back in the locket ...?
OOC!Scar: *slips them back and closes it, frowning* ... 's weird, though.
IC!Ed: *settles back into his seat* ... Medicine...?
OOC!Roy: Well, if it is medicine, then whoever lost that locket will be missing it, I'm sure.
IC!Ed: *nods* Returning it tomorrow, right, Mal?
OOC!Scar: *nods, hiccuping again as the taxi pauses in front of Clara's huge house* Well ... I'll see you guys later!
OOC!Roy: See you later, Mal - and thanks again for inviting me and organizing everything! *grins*
IC!Ed: *grins and waves goodbye to Mal* Later, Mal.
OOC!Scar: *stumbles out and waves goodbye*
IC!Ed: *approaches The Trickster in his Mal-designed rocker outfit, hair down and hands in his pockets, very aware of how shiny his pants are at the moment and very self-conscious about it*
OOC!Scar: Ed! *pounces, whipping an eyeliner pencil out of Ishbala-knows where* Hold still.
OOC!Winry: *still feeling a little awkward in her borrowed clothes, relieved when she sees Mal and Ed as she wasn't entirely sure where the bar was*
IC!Ed: *almost jumps back in shock, eyes wide* Wh-What're you doing?!
OOC!Scar: Putting eyeliner on. Quick, look, Winry's almost here, don't move, man!
IC!Ed: *tries to keep his head still, resisting the urge to squirm away*
OOC!Roy: *comes around the corner feeling extremely self-conscious, dressed fairly normally in a dark blue shirt and black pants but feeling really out of place*
OOC!Scar: *outlines Ed's eyes and then, on the spur of the moment, adds small upside-down triangles beneath them; nods his approval* Perfect, now I gotta do mine- Oh, hey Roy, Winry, over here! *waves*
OOC!Winry: *quickly heads over, a little confused when she sees the eyeliner on Ed, not sure she wants to know* Ah...
IC!Ed: *blinks, eyes watering a little 'cause that was a really weird thing to happen just now, then turns and starts looking around to see who's arrived*
OOC!Roy: *walks over, raising his eyebrows at the eyeliner on Ed* Hello. Um. *feeling really, really out of place now that he's seen what everyone else is wearing*
IC!Ed: *gives Roy a look that very clearly states "ask about the eyeliner and shiny pants and die"*
OOC!Scar: *talking while putting on his eyeliner* Hey Roy, y'see the bag by my foot? There should be a really sweet coat in it I brought for you, just dig in there and find it, will ya? *speaking much faster than usual, so excited*
OOC!Winry: *looks around and feels slightly better about what she's wearing when she sees other people dressed similarily* So, what was this band called again?
OOC!Roy: O-Okay ... um, thanks? *crouches down to dig around in the bag, then pulls out a leather trenchcoat; blinks at it, then smiles slightly and stands up, pulling it on* Um. Thanks, Mal.
OOC!Scar: 's what I'm here for.
IC!Ed: *is only now noticing Winry's outfit, and is trying very very hard not to gawk at her*
OOC!Winry: *sees how Ed's looking at her, avoids eye contact as her face takes on a pink tint*
OOC!Scar: And the band's ... uh. *glances at the poster on the window* The Crying Shame. WICKED. *so glad he had new friends in this dimension to share fun times with*
IC!Ed: *has to look away, blushing and rubbing the back of his neck*
OOC!Scar: *claps his hands* Great just ... one last thing... *whips out a pair of sunglasses and puts them on - it defeats the purpose of the eyeliner, other than the fact that HE knows it's there*
OOC!Roy: *smiles at Mal* So, what time does the, um, concert start?
OOC!Scar: Ten minutes ago, but don't worry - the opening acts always suck. Shall we? *noticing the interaction between Ed and Winry, purposefully bumps into Ed with his good shoulder, making him stumble in her direction*
IC!Ed: *BUMPED* AH! *staggers toward Winry, manages to recover, but is now about a foot away from her*
OOC!Winry: *didn't notice Mal bumping Ed, but notices the staggering* Er, are you all right, Ed?
IC!Ed: *goes a little rigid, cheeks turning red as he straightens himself* Uh, y-yeah... I'm fine...
OOC!Roy: *raises his eyebrows at Mal, wondering what exactly he's up to*
OOC!Scar: *catches the look from Roy, BIG GRIN* So, tickets. You guys can pay me back now or whenever you can, it's no problem... *starts handing them out* And Winry, you don't have to, my treat.
OOC!Winry: *smiles at Ed before taking the ticket* Are you sure? I don't mind paying for it...
IC!Ed: *steps away from Winry, feeling thoroughly embarrassed. gets his ticket from Mal and reaches for his wallet* I'll pay for mine now...
OOC!Roy: *takes the ticket* Thanks, Mal. Me too, um, if that's OK?
IC!Ed: *starts riffling through the bills in his wallet* How much were they?
OOC!Scar: Winry, seriously. Lemme get this. *winks behind the sunglasses* They were ten, you guys, cough up. Sorry not to treat you all, but I've only got enough money for the cute girls, you know how it is. *sage nod*
IC!Ed: *blushes some more the "cute girls" comment since it's directed at Winry and quickly forks over the money* ...Here.
OOC!Roy: *laughs; pulls out his wallet and gets the money, holding it out Mal still grinning* There you go. And thank you again for getting the tickets - and for inviting me.
OOC!Winry: *feels a little bad that everyone else is paying for their ticket, but doesn't want to make a big fuss over it* All right, if you say so... Thanks, Mal.
OOC!Scar: *collects the money and shoves it in a pocket - draws out a pair of fingerless fishet gloves* Oh yeah, shit, almost forgot these... *puts them on, then indicates they should do in, leading the way*
IC!Ed: *follows, quiet for once, trying to calm himself down 'cause all that blushing was tiring*
OOC!Roy: *follows Mal, feeling vaguely apprehensive*
OOC!Winry: *heads in, fascinated with what's inside* I've never been in a bar before...
OOC!Scar: *grins, the loud bass and music slamming into him like a wall* Oh yeah, I KNEW it was gonna be wicked! *devil horns with one hand, then turns to check on his friends*
OOC!Winry: *wasn't expecting the music to be this loud, resists the urge to cover her ears* Is it always this noisy at concerts?
IC!Ed: *looks around the inside of the place, a grin slowly creeping onto his face as he listens to the music and finding that it is pretty damn cool. looks over at Mal and nods at the devil horns* What're you doing with your hand?
OOC!Scar: Yeah! *shouting over the din* Don't worry, you get used to it, I've got earplugs if it gets too bad...
OOC!Scar: *shows Ed how to do the devil horns* 's the symbol of ROCK, man!
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen at the volume of the music* Wow, this is ... different.
OOC!Scar: Y'alright, Roy? *a bit concerned since this doesn't seem to be his thing as much, dugs around in yet another of his pockets and gets out two sets of earplugs; offers one to Winry and one to Roy* Here.
IC!Ed: *mimics the "symbol of rock" with his automail hand and copies Mal, starting to get into it*
OOC!Winry: *shakes her head* I think I'll be fine without those... *hopes she gets used to it real soon, tries to imitate the devil horns* ...Like this?
OOC!Roy: Oh, um - it's OK, it just ... it's louder than I was expecting, that's all! *smiles* Not bad, though ...
OOC!Scar: *giggles, reaches over and adjusts her hand a bit, just and excuse to touch her hand really, he's so sly* There!
IC!Ed: *looks over at Winry and grins, holding up his own devil horn hand so she can see* Got it?
OOC!Winry: Oh! *blinks* So that's how you do it... *slightly proud smile* I think I got it now.
lluminata by Unfinished Thought starts to play
OOC!Scar: *looks up as a new song starts, whistling and elbowing Ed, leaning in to whisper* Dude, that singer? She is hot!
IC!Ed: *looks at the girl Mal's gestured to, eyes go a little wider*
OOC!Roy: *watching the band absently, enjoying the music, tapping his foot without really realizing he's doing it*
OOC!Winry: *moving a little to the beat* I've never heard music like this before.
OOC!Roy: No, me neither - it's not bad though ... I like it. *grins at Winry*
IC!Ed: *head starts bumping to the beat while listening*
OOC!Scar: It's rock! Oh, man, just you wait til I can play again. I'm gonna make the band to end all bands *pushes up sunglasses, and then claps Roy on the shoulder*
OOC!Scar: Glad ya like it, man. Here, let's get a bit closer *weaving through the packed crowd, beckoning the others to follow*
IC!Ed: *blinks when Mal starts moving and starts to follow, without thinking grabs onto Winry's wrist so she doesn't get separated* C'mon!
OOC!Roy: *follows the others as closely as possible, trying not to bump into anybody and apologising profusely when he accidentally does*
OOC!Winry: Ah! *surprised at the sudden grabbing, turns red as she follows*
OOC!Scar: *settles in about halfway from the stage, completely comfortable in the tight crowd*
IC!Ed: *finally catches up with Mal, glances at him then back at Winry to check that she's okay*
OOC!Winry: *can't believe there are this many people in one spot* Is it always this crowded?
OOC!Roy: *slinks into a small gap in the crowd behind them, glancing around him at all the people, not used to being crushed in between so many bodies*
OOC!Scar: Yeah, 's a part of the excitment... *voice quiets as a more mellow song comes on*
Umbrella by Unfinished Thought starts
IC!Ed: *quickly checks around to see where Roy's gone before turning his attention back on stage as the next song starts up*
OOC!Winry: *shrugs and watches the singer intently, wondering if she'd ever be able to sing like that*
OOC!Scar: *twists around to try to see where Roy is, grabbing a hold of his trenchcoat and pulling him a bit closer, into their little niche*
OOC!Roy: *is dragged forwards a bit and sighs in relief, flashing Mal a smile* Uh, thanks.
OOC!Scar: No problem, man. *moves to sling an arm around Ed's shoulder, winces when he realizes rather abruptly that he doesn't have quite that degree of mobility back yet ... just puches him lightly in the arm instead*
OOC!Roy: *notices Mal wincing and frowns slightly, leaning over to ask* Are you OK?
IC!Ed: *gets the light punch and looks over at Mal in confusion* Hm?
OOC!Winry: *no idea what she should be doing, embarrassed she has to ask this* Mal, what exactly do you do at a concert?
OOC!Scar: Just enjoy the music. Dance. Dress up.
OOC!Scar: Sweet, look! *points to the stage where the opening act are taking their bows and being shunted off for the main act*
IC!Ed: *looks to where Mal's pointing, blinks* Main act coming on?
OOC!Winry: All right. *wonders what kind of dancing is done at a concert in such a small space* The Crying Shame is going to be playing soon, right?
OOC!Scar: Yeah. *checks out the outfits of those around them in the brief quiet time while people set up the stage* I can get drinks if you guys want..?
IC!Ed: *looks back at Mal and smiles a bit* That sounds good. You need any help with that?
OOC!Roy: Yeah, um, OK. If you don't mind going ... *smiles; was going to offer to help, but three people going would be silly*
OOC!Winry: Sure... Do they have anything non-alcoholic here?
IC!Ed: *blinks, hadn't really thought about whether or not the drinks were alcoholic* Uh...
OOC!Scar: Naw, just a sec... I'll get ya some juice or something, Winry *grabs Ed and helps him wind through the crowd*
IC!Ed: *gets dragged, letting out a surprised yelp before recovering and following obediently*
OOC!Roy: *smiles at Winry* So, um ... enjoying the concert?
OOC!Winry: *smiles back, nodding* Yeah, though it's nothing like I expected.
OOC!Roy: I ... wasn't sure what to expect, really. *laughs* It's good though! I sort of thought I wasn't going to like it, but ... *shrugs* I was wrong.
OOC!Scar: *once they arrive at the bar, a bit out of breath* So Ed, whatcha want?
IC!Ed: *looks around at the bar and shrugs* I dunno. Uh... what's good?
( (I Hate) Everything About You )
OOC!Winry: I didn't know what I'd think of it since I've never heard this kind of music before. I wonder why it isn't that popular where we're from...
OOC!Roy: Yeah, it's strange - it's catchy and everything, you'd think more people would like it ...
OOC!Scar: *looks up as the band begins to play* Shit, we gotta hurry. Can I have two bottles of juice...
OOC!Scar: *talking louder as the band gets louder* And two shots, thanks... *takes them quickly from the girl, handing one tiny glass to Ed, raising his eyebrows expectantly* To rock!
IC!Ed: *takes the glass and gives it an odd look* Uh, yeah. To rock.
OOC!Winry: *shrugs* Maybe no one thought to play music like this. *decides what the hell and starts dancing the best she can when the band begins playing*
OOC!Scar: *downs it in a practiced gulp, slamming the glass down on the bar and grabbing the bottled orange juices*
IC!Ed: *imitates Mal, not sure what else to do, gulping it down and then slamming it down on the bar with more force than intended, gasping a little* WHOA. What the hell was that stuff?!
OOC!Scar: Y'know what? I'm not quite sure! *delighted by this* Want one more before we go?
IC!Ed: *left a little disoriented by the taste of whatever in the world that was* Uh...
OOC!Roy: *grins at Winry, but really isn't confident enough to start dancing; taps his foot, nodding his head in time to the music*
OOC!Scar: *orders another two, not wanting to make the others wait but sadistically wanting to see if Ed can stomach another* Bottoms up!
OOC!Winry: *keeps an eye on the people around her, not wanting to bump into anyone*
IC!Ed: *hesitantly takes the new glass in hand and gulps it down when Mal does*
OOC!Scar: *smacks him in the middle of the back bracingly, tossing the money onto the bar and thanking Ishbala for tips at the record store* Let's go back now, huh?
( Home )
IC!Ed: *exhales loudly, really wishing he knew what in the hell he just drank, and nods in response* Y-Yeah.
OOC!Roy: *looks around for Mal and Ed, wondering where they've got to*
OOC!Scar: *arrives back, handing off the bottles, a little red in the face from the liquor* This music? This is hardcore!
OOC!Roy: *takes the bottle, grinning* Thank you. It is really good!
IC!Ed: *trailing behind Mal, bobbing his head to the music, also a little red in the face* It's fuckin' great!
OOC!Scar: How you diggin' it, Winry?
OOC!Winry: *stops dancing so she can take the juice* Thanks. I love it! It's easy to dance to.
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah, that reminds me! Ed! Headbanging one-oh-fuckin'-one, you guys listen, too...
IC!Ed: Oh yeahhh. That headbanging thing. Something to do with hair, right...?
OOC!Scar: So a song with a wicked drum line like this, right? You just wanna stomp along or something
OOC!Scar: So the reason I had you wear your hair down ... *points to a guy with waist-length hair nearby who has flung it in front of his face and who is bobbing his head violently in time with the music*
IC!Ed: *looks over to where Mal is pointing and sort of stares* ...WHOA. You want me to do that?
OOC!Roy: *stares at the guy Mal points to, wondering how he's managing to do that without getting a massive headache*
OOC!Scar: Try it! I mean, maybe not THAT much, but!
OOC!Winry: *watches* ...That's headbanging?
( Pain )
OOC!Scar: A-yep!
IC!Ed: *gives a silly grin, 'cause either he has a really weak tolerance for alcohol or whatever he drank was strong or both, then shrugs* Alright.
IC!Ed: *watches the headbanging guy a little longer and then starts to imitate him for a little while*
OOC!Winry: *giggles as she watches Ed* I think I'm gonna stick to dancing.
OOC!Scar: *headbanging himself despite the lack of hair, picking up the lyrics of the song and singing along, though it's impossible to hear him over the band themselves*
OOC!Roy: *laughs and shakes his head at Ed and Mal*
IC!Ed: *stops headbanging after a while, throwing his hair back behind him and laughing* That was really weird feeling!
OOC!Roy: I can imagine ...
OOC!Scar: *stops as well, shaking his head to clear it* Makes you a bit dizzy, huh?
OOC!Winry: *amused smile* Don't give yourself a headache.
IC!Ed: *laughs some more* Yeah, sorta! *grins over at Winry* I won't.
OOC!Roy: *remembers that he has a bottle of juice and drinks some of it*
OOC!Scar: *listens for a while as the band finishes the song and starts to announce various things about their interdimensional tour, then turns to face everyone* Havin' fun?
OOC!Roy: Yeah, the band is great! *grins* Thank you so much for getting me a ticket.
OOC!Winry: *nods, glancing at the band a moment before turning her attention to Mal* Definitely. It's nice getting the chance to go out with some friends.
IC!Ed: *nods, pushing some hair out of his eyes* Yeah! Your rock music is great!
OOC!Scar: *laughs triumphantly, throwing back his head* Fuckin' told ya!
( Take Me Under )
OOC!Winry: I hope they stop by my dimension during their tour and make this kind of music popular...
OOC!Roy: *laughs* It would be pretty amazing if they made rock music popular throughout the dimensions ... I wouldn't be surprised, though ...
OOC!Scar: I'm gonna do my damn best with this dimension, that's for sure. *gesutres around* Most of these folks look like fans ... probably followin' 'em around on the tour.
OOC!Winry: Weirder things have happened. *raises an eyebrow* Wait, people do that? Follow bands when they go on tour, I mean?
( Never Too Late )
OOC!Scar: Well, yeah. Some people do...
OOC!Scar: *stops dancing as a slower song comes in, in favour of just swaying from side to side with the rest of the crowd*
IC!Ed: *starts nodding his head in time as a new song starts up. not too out of it to understand what they're talking about* How do they do that? If it's interdimensional, isn't it hard to follow 'em?
OOC!Roy: And how does the band move between the dimensions anyway ...? I mean, they must have planned this, so they must know how ...
OOC!Winry: Huh. *really liking this song, watching the band intently*
OOC!Scar: Uh... I have no fuckin' idea. Um... I got here with my guitar, maybe they can do that, too?
IC!Ed: *nodding and swaying, his brain trying to work despite the funny fog that seems to be encompassing it*
OOC!Roy: You got here with your guitar? ... That's different! *laughs, then notices Ed just sort of swaying and frowns a bit; decides to keep his eye on him from now on*
OOC!Winry: *tears herself away from the music long enough to give Mal a confused look* How did you do that?
OOC!Scar: Yeah, it freaked me out, and I've got no idea. I haven't had a chance to try it since, cause I didn't have my plugs and then ...uh ... stuff happened, but as soon as I can I'm gonna try it again.
IC!Ed: But they got here on purpose... *nods at the band on stage*
( Animal I Have Become )
OOC!Winry: Wow. It'd be impressive if you could do it again. It's certainly a more interesting way to get here than just showing up like I did... *takes a drink of juice*
OOC!Scar: They must be able to control it, then. Shit, if I could do that? That would be hardcore.
IC!Ed: ... Can we ask 'em later?
OOC!Scar: .... We can try! *devil horns as the new song starts, headbanging again*
OOC!Roy: If we can get close enough *eyes the crowd in front of them* ...
IC!Ed: *grins and devil horns along with Mal* We'll figure somethin' out!
OOC!Winry: Goodluck with that. *starting to really get into this*
OOC!Scar: *enjoying the really high energy of the crowd* I know you guys haven't been to any concerts before, but this one is so fuckin' amazing.
( Let It Die )
OOC!Scar: So, Roy! *yelling over the music* I can't remember if you told me, are you from this dimension?
OOC!Roy: *also yelling to be heard* Oh, no! I'm from the same dimension as Clara - it's really similar to this one, though. A few significant differences, but ...
IC!Ed: *really getting into this song, grins eagerly and devil horns with the music*
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah, cool! *notices that Ed is relaxing and is glad he bought him some drinks*
OOC!Winry: *slows down her dancing a little for the new song, raising her voice to be heard* That's the same dimension I'm from, isn't it?
OOC!Roy: Uh, probably *smiles* Does your Fuhrer have a ... cookie obsession?
OOC!Scar: *looks scandalized, gaping at Roy, surprised he had it in him* Does her WHAT have a WHAT?!
IC!Ed: *blinks, having heard that over the music, and turns toward everyone, wondering why Mal looks so panicked* What happened?
OOC!Roy: ... *stares at Mal in complete confusion* WHAT? *blushes at the thought of what Mal thought he said* Um, I think you misheard me ...
OOC!Winry: *laughs* I believe he does. I never understood why, though... *gives Mal a weird look, not getting what's wrong*
OOC!Scar: *so not getting it* What's a furr-er? Is that ... slang?
OOC!Scar: It sounds kind of dirty. *makes a face*
IC!Ed: *looks between everyone, momentarily confused, and then laughs when he realizes what just happened*
OOC!Scar: Hey, man, come on! What is it?
IC!Ed: The fuhrer! He's the president of the country!
OOC!Winry: *nods* That's all it is. Nothing dirty about it...
OOC!Scar: Oh. *bursts out laughing, cheeks flaming with embarrassment and the shots he drank earlier* Dude, OOPS.
OOC!Scar: *giggles*
IC!Ed: *laughs some more*
OOC!Scar: Now I just look dumb.
( Just Like You )
OOC!Roy: *laughs nervously, so very glad that that was cleared up* It's - it's OK, you're ... not from this dimension, so ...
OOC!Scar: *dances vigorously to cover up for it*
OOC!Winry: *smiles, shaking her head* Yeah, there was no way you could know what that meant.
IC!Ed: *slaps Mal on the back, grinning* Don't worry about it, coulda happened to anybody!
OOC!Scar: *slaps Ed back in a friendly, manly sort of way*
IC!Ed: *slaps Mal's back again in the same way*
OOC!Scar: *and again, never to be outdone*
IC!Ed: *one more time, for good measure*
OOC!Scar: *loses his balance and bowls over poor Roy-chan*
IC!Ed: *blinks, shocked*
OOC!Winry: *laughs at all the back slapping, suddenly stops when Roy-chan gets involved* Oh dear...
IC!Ed: *then laughs, 'cause he's sort of drunk*
OOC!Scar: *giggles a bit higher-pitched than usual, bringing one hand up to his mouth* Sorry man!
OOC!Roy: * is taken completely by surprise*
OOC!Roy: *has spilled orange juilce all over himself and Mal's coat* Uh. It's ok ... Um, are you all right? *seriously wondering what the pair of them drank while they were at the bar right now*
OOC!Winry: *worried* You guys should be more careful...
OOC!Scar: Yeah, shit, I'm fine. Sorry. *regains his balance*
IC!Ed: *grin broadens* See? He's fine, he's fine...
OOC!Scar: *scoffs* Aw, come on, we're fine. We aren't even in the mosh up there... *nods to a circle of very rowdy guys in the front, who they are a safe distance from*
OOC!Winry: Mosh? *eyes the guys, very glad they're not near them* That can't be safe.
OOC!Roy: *kind of preoccupied with dabbing ineffectually at the juice, but looks up at the rowdy group and pulls a face* I really wouldn't like to be stuck in the middle of them ...
( Riot )
OOC!Scar: Are you kidding? It's so fun ... maybe next time. *hiccup*
OOC!Roy: ... Right. If you say so. *does not believe him about this at all*
IC!Ed: *looks over and makes a face at the unruly guys, wondering if any of them are about to start a fight*
OOC!Winry: It doesn't look very fun...
OOC!Scar: Awwwww! *whines with everyone else in the crowd when the band announces this is their last song*
IC!Ed: *joins in the whining*
OOC!Winry: *doesn't whine, but looks thoroughly disappointed*
OOC!Roy: *also looks very disappointed*
IC!Ed: *devil horns enthusiastically to this song, 'cause it's fun and he likes it*
OOC!Scar: *a bit dizzy and winded from dancing so much, but wanting to get all his energy out on this last song*
OOC!Roy: *decides what the hell, it's the last song, he's going to dance a bit*
OOC!Winry: *dances wildly, figuring she might as well since it's the last song and she doesn't know when she'll get to do this again*
OOC!Scar: *lets out a huge sigh as the last chords die out, then begins to cheer wildly as The Crying Shame take their bows... or rather pump their fists in the air and then walk off*
IC!Ed: *cheers as well, pumping a fist in the air as the band gets off stage*
OOC!Winry: *gets caught up in the moment and cheers as loud as she can*
OOC!Roy: *cheers along with the rest of them*
IC!Ed: *suddenly remembers something and nudges Mal and Roy in their sides* Hey hey, we should go ask 'em how they shift dimensions on purpose!
OOC!Roy: Yeah ... do you think we'll be able to?
OOC!Scar: Oh yeah! Hey ... follow me, we should try to meet 'em in back... *grabs Ed's and Roy's wrists, shoulder his way through the crowd to the side*
IC!Ed: *grabs Winry's wrist before getting pulled too far off so she comes along*
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen as he's dragged off, glad that Ed remembered Winry*
OOC!Winry: *relieved when Ed grabs her wrist, not wanting to get left behind*
OOC!Scar: *haHA, his secret plan worked!; giggles*
IC!Ed: *completely not even thinking about stuff like that, his single mindedness and one track mind coming in handy that way*
OOC!Scar: *waits with them beside the backstage door as the rest of the crowd slowly disperses, catching his breath*
OOC!Winry: You think they'll let you in to see them?
IC!Ed: *grins at Winry* We can sure as hell try.
OOC!Roy: So, um ... are we just going to wait for them, or ....?
IC!Ed: *suddenly realizes that he's still holding Winry's wrist. just stares at his hand for a while as though he's not sure it belongs to him, then finally lets go and looks away, trying to pretend that didn't happen*
OOC!Scar: I'll knock, just give 'em a few minutes.... *tilts his head against the wall* Shit, that was intense.
OOC!Winry: *smiles back, had forgotten his hand was there until he moves it and blushes*
OOC!Roy: *grins* They were pretty amazing.
OOC!Scar: *takes off his sunglasses, slipping them into his pocket and running the back of his hand over his forehead*
IC!Ed: *leans against the wall while waiting, sort of humming the last song they played since it's stuck in his head*
OOC!Scar: *thinks that they've waited long enough, goes over and knocks on the door .... nothing*
OOC!Scar: Uhhh... maybe not?
IC!Ed: *blinks* ...Not in?
OOC!Roy: Oh dear ... *sighs* Maybe there's another door ...
OOC!Winry: *looks down at her clothes, feeling a lot more comfortable in them now* Maybe they're busy?
IC!Ed: *shakes his head* If we need another door, hell, I'll make one.
OOC!Scar: *knocks louder this time, and a roadie sticks her head out, her face pierced in about 20 places*
Roadie: Yeah?
OOC!Roy: *eyes widen* Edward, I really wouldn't do that, if I were you.
IC!Ed: *frowns at Roy, sort of pouting like a little kid* Okay, okay, I won't...
OOC!Winry: *stares at the roadie for a moment before realizing how rude that is and looks away*
OOC!Scar: Yeah ... we were wondering, uh ... could we talk to the band?
IC!Ed: *just now noticing that someone has answered the door and turns to see what's going on*
Roadie: *blinks, laughs dryly* No. *slams door a few inches from Mal's nose*
OOC!Roy: ... What a lovely person.
OOC!Winry: *frowns* ...Well, that was rude.
IC!Ed: *narrows eyes* ...I say I make the door.
OOC!Scar: *eyes wide* Yeah, no kiddin'
OOC!Roy: You really shouldn't, you know - it'll just get us all into trouble ...
OOC!Scar: Naw, man, it's cool. They're prolly tired as hell, let's just beat it.
IC!Ed: *frowns, kind of disappointed* ... Fine.
OOC!Winry: They plan to play around here again, right? You'll probably have another chance to ask them later.
OOC!Scar: Sure, sure thing. Let's go out this way... *nods to a side door and then opens it for Winry, stumbling over himself a bit in the process*
IC!Ed: *considers this for a moment and eventually nods* Guess so.
OOC!Winry: *walks out, watching Mal* You okay?
OOC!Scar: Are you kiddin'? I'm awesome!
IC!Ed: *laughs a bit at Mal's response before going out the way he's indicating*
OOC!Roy: *laughs and follows Ed out*
OOC!Winry: *giggles* Glad to hear it! Thanks again for the concert. It was fun!
OOC!Roy: Yeah, I had a great time, Mal - thank you again, so much!
IC!Ed: *grins back over at Mal* We gotta do this again!
OOC!Roy: *grins at Ed* Yeah, we should. Um, that is ... if you don't mind me tagging along ...
OOC!Scar: *slaps Roy's shoulder* Definitely, man.
OOC!Scar: And yeah, I'll let you guys know if I hear anything
IC!Ed: *slaps Roy's other shoulder, just because*
OOC!Scar: *looking around at the unfamiliar dark street* Uh ... where are we?
OOC!Winry: All right, I look forward to it! I wonder if I could Al to come to one of these...
IC!Ed: *brow furrows in confusion* Al...? Turtle Al, Alfons, or Hei...?
OOC!Roy: ... *looks around, not recognising anything either because he's never been here before* Uh. Winry, Edward? Do either of you know where we are?
OOC!Winry: No, my Al. *shakes her head* No idea. I've never been around here before.
IC!Ed: *interrupts his own train of thought to pay attention to what Roy and Mal are asking, looks around* ... I don't... know...
OOC!Scar: It's ... *looks around, gets his bearings* OK, cool, this way and then two rights and we're at the front again...
IC!Ed: *nods and starts going off that way* ... Head feels kinda funny.
OOC!Scar: *chuckles darkly*
OOC!Winry: Oh good. For a moment there I thought we might be lost... *follows Ed*
OOC!Roy: *catches what Edward said and frowns, hurrying to catch him up* Are you all right?
IC!Ed: *glances at Roy and nods slowly* Yeah... Head just feels weird.
OOC!Winry: You going to be able to get home fine?
OOC!Scar: *stumbles on something, bends to pick it up* Oh, cool, look, a locket... *hiccups*
IC!Ed: *nods again* I'll just walk it off. Fresh air good.
OOC!Roy: *glances at Mal* Maybe we should go and hand it in at the bar ...?
OOC!Scar: I'll bring it tomorrow, 's on my way to work...
OOC!Winry: All right, but be careful... *blinks, taking a look at the locket* I wonder who lost it.
OOC!Roy: OK, then. *smiles, and then turns his attention back to Ed* Are you sure you'll be all right? *doesn't want to suggest walking him home, because that sounds stupid, but still kind of wants to*
OOC!Scar: I dunno... *squints at it, getting a better look once they're on the larger, street-lamp lit* Hey this looks... *trails off*
IC!Ed: *nods yet again* Sure. 100%. I'll be okay. *turns to look at Mal and the locket* ...What's wrong?
OOC!Roy: *goes to peer at the locket with Mal*
OOC!Scar: *frowning at the locket, turning it around and around to make sure* 's Ishbalan. Weird. *forces himself to put it in his pocket for the time being*
IC!Ed: *blinks* ...Weird.
OOC!Winry: *blinks* Really? That's odd...
OOC!Roy: *frowns* I wonder how that got here ...
OOC!Scar: *shrugs* Search me, I dunno... Ed, y'OK? *catches him when he stumbles, only marginally more steady on his own feet*
OOC!Winry: Well, however it got there, I hope it gets returned to its owner. *frowns as she looks from Mal to Ed* How much did you two drink, anyway?
IC!Ed: *nods and frowns, not realizing that he'd stumbled. tries to steady himself* M'fine.
OOC!Scar: Pssshhh, we only had two. *just realizing* Hey, Winry, 's kinda late ... you want us to walk ya home?
IC!Ed: *glances at Roy* Two little glasses of... something.
OOC!Roy: ... Right. You know, I think it might be a good idea if you didn't go home on your own, Edward ... and you Mal ...
OOC!Winry: They must've been fairly strong... *hadn't realized it either, sighs* You wouldn't be able to walk all the way...
IC!Ed: *waves them off* Naw, I'm fine. *looks at Winry* ...Money for cab?
OOC!Scar: Why don't ... we could all just split a cab and then ... take everyone home?
IC!Ed: *nods at Mal's suggestion* And I can pay...?
OOC!Roy: That would be a very good idea. They'll have a telephone in the bar, won't they?
OOC!Scar: Naw, 's cool, look, there are a bunch right there... *gestures to some cabs idling in front of the bar, clearly in the know that there would be customers that night*
OOC!Winry: *wishes her outfit had a spot for a wallet so she could've offered to pay some of it* ...That sounds good.
IC!Ed: Okay then, let's go. *starts for the cabs*
OOC!Roy: *follows Ed* We can go halves with the payment if you want, Edward, I don't mind.
IC!Ed: *decides that's fair and nods* Alright.
OOC!Scar: *opens the door of a cab for Winry, chivalrously*
OOC!Winry: *follows after them* I pay you back for the ride tomorrow. *smiles at Mal as she gets in* Thank you.
IC!Ed: *frowns a little bit when he notices that, wishing he'd thought to do that first*
OOC!Scar: *gets into the cab as well* Winry, you should get to go home first ... tell 'im your address...
IC!Ed: *also gets into the cab*
OOC!Roy: *gets into the cab after Mal*
OOC!Winry: Erm, okay... *tells the driver the closest address to where she is* I'm still going to have to do a bit of walking.
OOC!Roy: *frowns* Will you be all right? It is late after all ...
IC!Ed: *brow furrows* ...Why can't we have the cab take you straight there, Winry?
OOC!Scar: *joins in* Yeah ... that's not good ....
OOC!Winry: Yeah, I'll be fine. Don't worry! *a little embarrassed as she explains it* Erm, well, there's not really a road going directly there...
IC!Ed: ...It's not a long walk, is it?
OOC!Winry: *shakes her head* It's not that long.
IC!Ed: *nods slowly* Well... that's good...
IC!Ed: *still concerned*
OOC!Scar: *shakes his head* That's bad, somethin' could happen, even with that.
OOC!Scar: *frets*
OOC!Winry: Really, I'll be fine. No need to worry.
OOC!Roy: Well, if you're sure ... *still not happy about this, and still going to worry*
IC!Ed: *frowns at Winry* ...Be careful.
OOC!Winry: *hates making people worry like this* Will it make you all feel better if I call you when I get home so you know I'm fine?
OOC!Scar: *gnaws at his bottom lip, then brightens at the suggestion* Yeah.
IC!Ed: *tries to remember if he has a phone in his apartment*
OOC!Roy: *nods* Would you, please?
OOC!Winry: *smiles* Write down your phone numbers and I'll call you as soon as I can.
OOC!Scar: D'you know Clara's number?
OOC!Winry: *nods* Yeah, I keep forgetting you're staying there now.
OOC!Roy: Um. Does anyone have anything to write on? ... Or with ...?
IC!Ed: *remembers that there's some sort of clerk/receptionist type person that takes phone calls in his building, so decides to use that number* Um... it's military lodgings, so I guess you could just leave a message...
IC!Ed: *pulls out his wallet and pulls out a bill* ...Write on money?
OOC!Scar: *kind of zoning out now, his head hazy from the shots and the sudden lack of pounding bass*
IC!Ed: *stares at the bill in his hand for a moment* ...Still need a pen.
OOC!Roy: ... *laughs at Edward's suggestion, because it's just unexpected*
OOC!Winry: *blinks, staring at the bill* ...You don't need to do that. If you have to, I can just write the numbers on my hand.
OOC!Scar: *pulls out the eyeliner pencil*
IC!Ed: *turns slowly to look at Winry* ... Still need a pen.
IC!Ed: *eyes go wide, since he currently finds it very clever of Mal to pull that pencil out of nowhere* Ooh, that works...
OOC!Roy: *grins at Mal* Great idea!
OOC!Scar: *giggles* No problem, cutie.
IC!Ed: *snickers, addresses Roy* He called you "cutie"...
OOC!Scar: *pats Roy's cheek absently, giggling even more, red-faced*
OOC!Winry: Perfect! *to Ed* Now, do you want to waste your money on this or can I just write the numbers on my hand?
IC!Ed: *turns and stares at Winry for a moment, then suddenly blushes and holds the bill out for her*
OOC!Roy: ... *eyes widen, taking the eyeliner pencil from Mal very carefully* Yes, I noticed thank you, Edward ...
IC!Ed: *nods at Roy* You're welcome.
OOC!Winry: *takes the money, still unsure about this* You sure I can use it for something like this?
IC!Ed: *nods vigorously* I don't need it. And there's plenty more.
OOC!Scar: *taking off his gloves, shifting in his seat to keep the spikes on his splint from poking anyone*
OOC!Winry: All right, if you say so... Can I please have the eyeliner, Roy?
OOC!Roy: Oh! Yes, of - of course! *passes her the eyeliner*
OOC!Winry: *smiles at him as she takes it* So, what're your numbers?
OOC!Scar: *tapping out the drum line of one of those songs on his knees with his fingers*
IC!Ed: *strains to remember the number, then tells it to Winry* Military lodgings, so... You can just leave a message or, or somethin'...
OOC!Roy: *tells Winry his phone number* I'll stay up until you call, make sure you're OK ... *smiles*
OOC!Winry: *nods, writing down the numbers carefully* Okay, I'll call first thing I get home!
OOC!Roy: Thank you.
IC!Ed: *smiles a little drowsily* Good.
OOC!Winry: No problem. *glances out the window* I think we're almost at my stop...
OOC!Scar: *hiccups softly* Thanks for comin', Winry! *beams*
IC!Ed: *grins slowly* See ya soon, Winry.
OOC!Roy: You be careful, all right?
OOC!Scar: Yeah. Please, be careful? *very serious suddenly* Cause you never know, K? *pats her hand clumsily*
IC!Ed: *nods solemnly in agreement with Roy and Mal*
OOC!Winry: No, thank you for inviting me! I'll return the clothes to you tomorrow, all right? *smiles at them, blushing a little at the hand patting* I'll see you later and I'll be fine!
OOC!Winry: It was nice hanging out with you all. Bye! *steps out as the cab pulls up, waves before heading off*
IC!Ed: *smiles back and sort of waves* Bye, Winry.
OOC!Roy: *waves through the cab window, smiling*
OOC!Scar: *waves too*
OOC!Scar: So ... Ed next?
OOC!Scar: Or ... me? *can't really think any more, giggles apologetically*
IC!Ed: *blinks, also can't really think* ... Okay?
OOC!Roy: Uhm, who lives closer? One of you just tell the cab driver, hmm?
IC!Ed: *nods, glad for once that he's being told what to do 'cause thinking is hard right now*
OOC!Scar: *taps the driver on the shoulder and tells him Clara's address, then settles back down*
OOC!Scar: That was fun... *repeating himself now, still wants to say it again*
IC!Ed: *was just about to tell the driver his address and settles back in a slight pout when Mal beats him to it*
OOC!Roy: Yeah, it was. *smiles at Mal*
IC!Ed: Was nice... fun with lots of people.
OOC!Scar: *gets the locket out and starts looking at it again as they drive*
OOC!Roy: *glances at the locket* The designs on that are interesting ... I wonder who it belongs to ...
IC!Ed: *glances lazily at the locket, slumping a little in his seat now* ...Shiny.
OOC!Scar: *fumbles it* Shit! *it pops open and spills someting into his hand* ...what?
IC!Ed: *jerks into awareness with the exclamation and leans forward toward Mal* What happened?
OOC!Scar: *holds it up in the light, turning them around in the light* It looks ... like medicine?
IC!Ed: *blinks*
OOC!Roy: *frowns* Maybe you should just put them back in the locket ...?
OOC!Scar: *slips them back and closes it, frowning* ... 's weird, though.
IC!Ed: *settles back into his seat* ... Medicine...?
OOC!Roy: Well, if it is medicine, then whoever lost that locket will be missing it, I'm sure.
IC!Ed: *nods* Returning it tomorrow, right, Mal?
OOC!Scar: *nods, hiccuping again as the taxi pauses in front of Clara's huge house* Well ... I'll see you guys later!
OOC!Roy: See you later, Mal - and thanks again for inviting me and organizing everything! *grins*
IC!Ed: *grins and waves goodbye to Mal* Later, Mal.
OOC!Scar: *stumbles out and waves goodbye*

Date: 2007-07-19 05:31 am (UTC)...Also, I love Mal randomly finding Rick and Leo's mother's locket. OKAY, BECCA, WHAT ARE YOU PLOTTING? It's funny, I was just thinking about them the other day and how awesome it would be if we had them in the rp
so Clara can collect more children bwahahahahahaha! >:D. Also, I totally thought it was Lust/Rachel/Cheryl's locket, so I was really confused when the locket opened and stuff came out and Mal said, "It looks ... like medicine?" Because then I was like WTF THEY USE HAIR FOR MEDICINE IN ISHBAL?! o_O ...And that would've been really messed up because that would mean Mal's double was in town and THAT WOULD BE SCARY!!! DDDD8no subject
Date: 2007-07-19 05:49 am (UTC)And yes, it was absinthe or something of that nature, they aren't THAT pathetic. Well, maybe Ed. The manly shoulder slapping was ridiculously fun. I was laughing out loud the whole time, my mother was so worried.
Mal hitting on Roy-chan was ... a mistake.
That turned into something so much more. I thought Winry had said it but then it was TOO LATE, so I just went with it. He was drunk, whatever, you never know. It made sense in his head.OMG SOMEONE KNEW WHAT THE LOCKET WAS. MY CUP OF JOY, SHE OVERFILLITH. And Angela, do you know me at all? I'm always plotting something. It's my default state of existence.
I kind of wish we could NPC Scar in town sometime, except someone may want the character later. But if there were an IC!Scar, oh man. Oh man that would be fun. He would scare the shit out of Mal.

Date: 2007-07-19 06:35 am (UTC)Thank god it was something more druggy than usual, or I'd be seriously worried about them.
Lol, I thought it was Winry who said it, too. And then there was much confusion.
And dude, you know me, I got your back~! I am so freaking OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE and I remember freaking EVERYTHING, of course I caught the locket reference! And YES PLEASE I LIKE PLOTTING, PLOT AWAY! You plotter, you~. *pats you on the head fondly*

Havocs and Fuerys and Hawkeyes... and more homunculi... especially Lust... and Al, we need Al.... *complains for the 87650936109393th time* ...I wonder, if we got a new Roy Mustang, if we could entice Carrie to come back and be our amazing Hughes and Hughesmunculus. ;_;

Date: 2007-07-19 03:25 pm (UTC)WTF MAL HITTING ON ROY-CHAN?! -- to say that that surprised me, too, would be a huge understatement. XD I thought it had to be a mistake of some kind ... (Funny, though! Yay for cracky drunken pairings! XD)
