Summary: Apocalypse, Part I. What starts out as a sort of nice day rapidly goes South. Earthquakes, violence, blood, angels, ghosts, and a hole in the sky.
OOC!Psiren: *sitting on a park bench, sort of watching people go by*
Balthamos: *has given up on pretense and is flying over the city, in high alert, early as always*
Raziel: *also diligent, in his more relaxed way... just sorta sitting on a rooftop*
IC!Hawkeye: *waaaandering aimlessly*
Evil!Al ::one of those rare days he's actually out in public, happens to walk by Clara. ... and grins:: Well, well. Enjoyin' the weather?
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* I am, actually.
OOC!Roy: *wandering the streets of Central, not sure what to do with himself*
Adventure!Wrath: *walking by, becoming instantly horrified upon seeing Clara and hiding*
IC!Envy: *scarfing down handfuls of red stone, grinning like a maniac, ready to start some serious trouble*
OOC!Scar: *sees Roy and slinks out of the alley he was hiding in, calling out* Hey! Roy!
Evil!Al: Heh. Not like - ::turns, thinking he saw something move quickly out of the corner of his eye::
IC!Ed: *out on the street on the edge of the park, just looking up into the sky with a very serious expression on his face, getting really bad feelings for some reason*
OOC!Roy: *turns, hearing his name, and smiles* Mal! Hello! ... I'm surprised to see you out and about ...
OOC!Psiren: *cranes to look at what he's looking at, sees nothing* Hmmmm?
IC!Ran Fan: *Observing from the rooftop like a, well, like a ninja*
OOC!Scar: *guilty look, pulls off his sunglasses* Well you know I just- *shrugs* I can't hide out. Not every day.
BIG BOLD LETTERS: SMALL EARTHQUAKE, LASTS SEVERAL SECONDS.
Evil!Al: ::shrugs, waves it off with a smirk:: Who knows. Anyway, I was just thinkin' this place still isn't living up to expectations, you know? Bu- ::JARRED BY EARTHQUAKE WTF::
OOC!Roy: *about to answer when the earthquake hits; grabs onto a building* ... What was that?
IC!Ran Fan: *almost falls*
OOC!Scar: What the- *jumps out of the way as a streetlight comes crashing down*
Adventure!Wrath: *out in the open now, looking around, wtf*
IC!Ed: *eyes widen, EARTHQUAKE!!* Ohshi- *tries to grab onto something for support and falls back on his butt*
OOC!Psiren: *clings tightly to her park bench until it passes* ...Well that's never happened before.
OOC!Roy: *stares at the fallen streetlamp* Um. That's ... not good.
Balthamos: Oh, good. Finally. *starts his way towards what should be the center of town, ready to get this stupid job over with*
IC!Sheska: *yell from around the corner* Ahhhg! My books!
Raziel: *smiles to himself*
OOC!Scar: *wide-eyed* Yeah you're tellin' me!
Evil!Al: ::remains standing in a wide stance, thanks to balancing skillz:: ... Yeah, but still, that's nothing. Sounded like you guys were having way more fun here than you actually are.
IC!Envy: *why is that a runty little alchemist I spy there?*
OOC!Psiren: *eyeroll* Of course you would think it was "fun". *spots Wrath* ...Adventure Wrath?
Adventure!Wrath: *deer in headlights* Hi?
IC!Ed: *twitches. did someone look at him and think "runt"?!*
Evil!Al ::checks the contents of his satchel, smirks, then looks over at Adventure!Wrath:: Well, look who it is. I remember you, you little freak.
IC!Sheska: *gathering up books and heading to where everyone else is, kind of stops upon seeing so many people she knows*
IC!Envy: *deliberates a moment on what form he should take and decides on Al; hurries over to Ed with a metallic creaking, saying in his best sissy nervous voice* What was that?!
IC!Hawkeye: *seeing Sheska* Oh, hello. *detached*
Adventure!Wrath: *seriously did not need an additional pain in the ass, not liking E!A at all*
IC!Ed: *looks over at armor!Al, brow furrowing* I have no idea. It obviously wasn't normal. *starts moving closer to everyone else*
OOC!Roy: *also spots Sheska and waves, not recognising Ghost!Riza from this distance*
OOC!Scar: *pushing his hood off his head, screw disguise he's with Roy he can be a little more daring*
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* Hello. *glances at E!Al, opens her mouth, shuts it again* ...I was going to say "be nice", but....
IC!Sheska: *heading over to Roy* There was an earthquake. Did you feel it? *dumb question*
IC!Envy: *following after him; smiling evilly and very glad that Al's face is not overly expressive - how should he kill the runt, now?*
OOC!Roy: Yes. It, um .. it knocked the lamppost over. *is King of Stating the Obvious* Are you all right?
Evil!Al ::snickers:: Pointless, yeah. Good work, took you long enough.
IC!Gluttony: *has been lurking in an alley near Mal, knocks over a trash can*
IC!Hawkeye: *looks over and sees Mustang; too muddled by this whole spectral projection thing to realize it's his double; wanders behind Sheska towards him*
OOC!Scar: *hears the crash and jumps* HOLY CRAP.
IC!Ed: *glances back at Al over his shoulder just to check that he's still there, comes up to Clara since she's most familiar* Everyone okay?
OOC!Roy: *hears the noise inteh alley and spins around* ... Who's there?
IC!Envy: *laughing really hard on the inside OH MORE PEOPLE~!*
IC!Sheska: *oblivious to ghosts behind her* Whoa, it really did. I'm fine though, thank you.
OOC!Psiren: *decides to ignore E!Al for now, responds to Ed* Yes, I think we're all fine.
IC!Ed: *nods, looking around at all the faces, familiar or not* Okay. Good.
IC!Gluttony: *hears Mal yell and jumps, running out of alley* Nice Mal Person ok?
IC!Envy: *still pretending to be Al, oh yes, got to milk it for all it's worth* Ahhh ... Ed? *gives him the introduce-us look*
IC!Ran Fan: *eyeing Envy in Al's form, sensing something off*
OOC!Scar: *clapping a hand over his heart* Oh Ishbala, it's just you Gluttony. You scared me. *tries for a smile*
OOC!Psiren: *blinks at suit of armor*
OOC!Roy: Oh, it's you, Gluttony. *smiles, quite relieved*
Evil!Al ::waves nonchalantly at Ed and "armor!Al":: Long time no see.
IC!Ed: *still oh so oblivious* Oh- Right. Al, this is Clara. Clara, Al.
IC!Hawkeye: *gently tugging on Roy's sleeve, which doesn't move it but makes his wrist rather cold*
IC!Gluttony: Scary you? D: *looks at Roy* Hi Nice Roy Person!
IC!Al: *OH MY GOD EARTHQUAKE where is his brother?!?; runs around looking for him and sees a group of people in the park, maybe over there...*
IC!Envy: *is an impatient bastard; forms his hand into a spike behind his back* Nice to meet you~
OOC!Psiren: *blink* Your brother?
OOC!Roy: *frowns, looking down at his wrist and wondering why it's cold all of a sudden; jumps when he realises there's a ghost there, then looks up at recognises Ghost!Riza* Oh my - Lieutenant Hawkeye?!
IC!Ed: *sort of... waves awkwardly at people he knows. is this really the time for that? turns back to Clara* Yeah, he is.
IC!Ran Fan: *throws kunai down at Envy's arm*
IC!Envy: *eyetick* Mmm, but not in the way you think. *STABS HIM but gets hit at the same time and misses the heart, only getting him through the shoulder*
IC!Gluttony: *sort of notices Riza is there for the first time... ghosts don't have a smell*
OOC!Scar: *sort of scoots towards Sheska because oh weird it's a ghost*
IC!Sheska: *WTF WTF WTF!* GHOST! *panic panic panic before remembering ghosts have been here for a while*
IC!Ed: *is STABBED, eyes widening, dropping to his knees and clutching at the wound* F-FUCK...! Wha- What the...
IC!Ran Fan: *jumps down, pulling out kunai and rushing towards Envy*
IC!Hawkeye: Roy......
OOC!Psiren: *jumps and screams*
OOC!Roy: *trying really hard not to panic too, becuase he hasn't actually met a ghost of someone he knew before now* Um. Yes?
IC!Envy: *pulls his arm free and whirls to face Ran Fan, shifting back into his more workable form and snarling* You are ruining my fun!
IC!Gluttony: *blinks at Sheska, oh she's here too*
OOC!Scar: *waving a bit awkwardly* Hi, uh. I'm Mal. We met once?
Adventure!Wrath: *was about to say something, then jumps into action and draws his sword, eyeing Envy*
Evil!Al: ::eyes wide, backs up:: What the- ::oh look taking a bomb out of his satchel now, touching a thumb to the array drawn on its surface::
IC!Envy: *Gah attacked from both sides!*
IC!Ed: *ohmotherfuckingshitithuuuuuurts. trying to force the pain out of his conscious thoughts* Fuck...
IC!Ran Fan: *quick horizontal slashes while dashing* It's part of the job.
OOC!Psiren: *so much for not having a fear of death, jumps over the back of the bench and hides behind it*
IC!Hawkeye: Roy.... it's ending.... it's ending today.
OOC!Psiren:Stop swearing!
IC!Envy: *is unconcerned, lets himself get sliced and tries to kick at the same time*
IC!Ed:Can't help it, I BEEN STABBED.
IC!Sheska: .... It? The world? *getting a bit more comfortable with ghosts, as in only freaking out a bit*
Evil!Al: ::backing away from you crazy motherfuckers and throwing that bomb in the general direction of Envy and Ed now kthx::
OOC!Roy: *doesn't need to ask what* ... T-today? But - that's ... oh no ...
IC!Hawkeye: *can't seem to hear Sheska, just focusing on Roy and flickering with the concentration of delivering her message* Apocalypse .... today ...
IC!Ed: *grits his teeth, turning a little and quickly transmuting a wall out of the ground to protect who he's sure are innocents*
Adventure!Wrath: *running at Envy, sees an opening and makes to cut him in half*
IC!Envy: *dodges but gets another nasty slash along his back; grits his teeth seeing Ed running away; then realizes it is WRATH attacking him* What the hell are you doing!?
IC!Ran Fan: *is kicked* Ah yes, homunculi heal. *crouching and readying shuriken*
OOC!Scar: Oh shit.
IC!Gluttony: *what's all the fuss about?*
Adventure!Wrath:*smiling now* What I should have done a long time ago. Prove that I am not like you! *pulls blade back and ready for Envy to attack*
OOC!Roy: *stares at Ghost!Riza in horror, really starting to panic now* But - it - *takes a deep breath and tries to get a hold of himself* Th-thank you. For - for warning us.
IC!Al: *spots his brother ducking behind a wall and runs for him, not noticing the blood right away* Nii-san~!
IC!Hawkeye: *nods with a wan smile, getting fainter and fainter* Had to.... It's you.
IC!Ed: *keeping his hand over the wound in some vain attempt to stop the bleeding, eyes squeezed shut*
IC!Envy: *glancing between one and the other; he's gotten out of worse before, and he just binged on red stone*
OOC!Roy: *watches her getting fainter and frowns slightly, not really quite understanding what she's saying but - since she appears to be disappearing - doesn't want to start asking questings in her last moments*
IC!Al: *notices the wound - and what is Psiren doing here? - and crouches down* Ed, what...?!
IC!Ran Fan: *flinging shuriken at Envy, rushing forward again*
OOC!Psiren: *frowns, going over to Ed and ripping off some of her skirt* Oh God, Ed... here, move your hand....
IC!Al: *just doesn't even know what to do* Ed ... Ed are you OK!?
IC!Envy: *ducks under it, flexible bastard, grinning like it's the end of the world*
IC!Sheska: *sighs* I really hope the Apocalypse is not today, I have reading to do. *it getting tired of this*
IC!Gluttony: *doesn't know wtf is going on... chews on some dead cat he found in the alley*
IC!Ed: *peeks one eye open, flinches a little when he sees Al but relaxes and lets Clara do her thing when he hears the ongoing battle. that must be still be Envy they're fighting* That- bastard...
Evil!Al: ::sneaks away since nobody seems to be paying him attention ... bwahaha::
Adventure!Wrath: *overhead jumping slice*
OOC!Psiren: *binds wound as tight as she can, lips pressed together grimly*
OOC!Roy: ... I don't think she would tell us that for nothing ...
OOC!Scar: What are we supposed to do? *helpless, terrified look*
BIG BOLD LETTERS: LOUD TEARING SOUND FROM EVERYWHERE AT ONCE AS A RIP IS TORN IN THE RED SKY, THROUGH WHICH BLACKNESS AND A FEW STARS ARE SEEN.
OOC!Scar: HOLY FUCK. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
IC!Sheska: *crossing her arms* It's nice to see her again but right now my job is to stop all this *indicating, the entire world* from going to crap.
IC!Ed: *winces, nods gratefully to Clara* What's hap- *looks up into the sky, HOLYSHIT* ... You've gotta be kidding me...
Evil!Al: ::staaaares from where he's gone halfway up a building already::
IC!Envy: *is really too busy dodging all these attacks; whirls and catches Wrath with a punch to the gut, leaving his back exposed to Ran Fan*
OOC!Roy: *really wishes he had an answer for Mal* ... I don't know. I - *stops short, hearing the tearing sound and looking up; whispers, very quietly* This can't be happening ...
OOC!Psiren: *looks up, eyes widening* Jesus, Lord Almighty....
Adventure!Wrath: *was over anxious, is knocked back several meters*
*CUE EPIC DRAMATIC MUSIC*
IC!Al: *trying to take over stopping the bleeding* Ed, what? *looks up too and gulps*
IC!Ran Fan: *double kunai slice to the spine, then distracted for a second by the sky*
OOC!Scar: *awful feeling of dread in his stomach* I've gotta find Clara.
IC!Envy: *dies; oh well, had to happen some time; slumps to the ground, healing quickly*
IC!Sheska: *shit* I think I'm too late...
OOC!Roy: *nods* All right. We'll go together. Gluttony, Sheska, are you coming?
IC!Ed: *just keeps staring at the sky, trying to swallow the lump in his throat* ...shit...
IC!Gluttony: *still doesn't know what the fuss is about, is unhappy Nice Peoples is upset* DDD:
Evil!Al: ::on second thought, maybe closer to the ground is better... going back down that fire escape ladder now, yeah, and sticking close to the building, watching them from a distance::
IC!Gluttony: Kay...
IC!Sheska: *blink* Coming, to where?
IC!Ed: We- have to get out of here or- something... *starts trying to get to his feet, but OW, blood loss sucks...*
OOC!Scar: Stop this how? *looking around - which way should he look first; barely suppressing panic* Where is she Roy?
IC!Al: NI-SAN, stop moving! *makes him sit down*
IC!Ran Fan: *looking back at Envy, not sure how to finish this, starts slicing him a bit more*
OOC!Roy: *to Sheska* To find Clara. It's as good a plan as any. *turns to Mal* I was sort of hoping you might know ...?
OOC!Scar: Uh... she could be ... in the park? *wild guess*
IC!Sheska: *looking around* Where'd she go. Sure, I'll go.
OOC!Psiren: Al, right? Can you carry him? I think he might need a hospital.
Darren: *falls through a dimensional rift into the middle of the street and bleeds everywhere* ...Ow.
IC!Gluttony: I find she!
Balthamos: *chilling below the fire escape waiting for the real fireworks; looks up as a mortal comes by*
IC!Ed: *tries to swat his hand away* We HAVE to move... Or else that- *looks back up at the sky* I don't even know what the hell that is....
Adventure!Wrath: *coming back up to Envy, looking down at him and finding this very amusing* Haha. Seems you've met your match Envy.
OOC!Roy: *looks at Gluttony, very grateful* ... Thank you. Lead the way.
OOC!Scar: *turns to Gluttony* Dude, you ROCK. Please?
OOC!Izumi: *comes up behind E!Al* Al!
IC!Envy: *sneers at Wrath* You're pathetic. Teaming up with humans. You think it matters?
IC!Gluttony: *preens a little, then gets to business, sniffing around a little*
Adventure!Wrath: It matters. It matters to me. I know now that being a homunculus does not exclude being a good person, and that starts with throwing off your influence.
BIG BOLD LETTERS: ANOTHER SMALL EARTHQUAKE.
OOC!Scar: Sheska, what were you saying about your jo- AHH!
IC!Ran Fan: How do we kill him?
IC!Envy: *laughs out loud* Good person? GOOD PERSON?! *lashes out at Wrath, grabbing for his ankles*
Adventure!Wrath: *swallow* Keep cutting?
Evil!Al: ::oh look an angel thing wtf stare OSHIT EARTHQUAKE:: Fuck- ::braces against building::
IC!Ed: *staggers mid-attempt to get the hell away, dropping to his knees again* GH- DAMMIT. What the hell IS all this?!
Adventure!Wrath: *not paying attention, is grabbed*
OOC!Roy: *grabs onto Mal's arm, beacuse it's the nearest thing to him right now*
OOC!Psiren: Ed, stop trying to walk! Al, or whoever, can you carry him?
OOC!Scar: *walking despite his knees shaking, after Gluttony* Shit. Shit. We're all gonna die, aren't we?
Darren: *had nearly regained his footing, but promptly thrown off it again and into the trunk of a scraggly sidewalk tree* What the- *lots of swearing goes here and he sits down hard at the base of the tree grumpily*
Al: *looking over at Clara, surprised* Of course, er- Psiren? *hauling Ed over his shoulder*
OOC!Roy: *doesn't reply, becuase he suspects the answer is probably 'yes'*
IC!Sheska: *shaken, dropping her books again. after it's over* I wanted to stop all this. But it seems I'm too late.
IC!Gluttony: *freezes when earth shakes, wide-eyed, then goes back to tracking*
IC!Envy: *lashes out at Ran Fan this time, hoping to have more like, aiming a kick at her head*
IC!Ran Fan: *cursing the timely earthquake. Is kicked in the head. Falls back and masks flies off*
OOC!Scar: *shrugs, not even bother to ask how she could have done that* Well uh- *swallows* Guess that's too bad.
IC!Envy: My, my, look at this~? Is it a girl, then?
IC!Ran Fan: *scowl + anger*
IC!Ed: *none too happy about being carried around* Al- We have to tell everybody else...
Evil!Al: ::okay now there's time to stare and weird-ass person with flaming sword:: Okay, what the fuck are you supposed to be?
Adventure!Wrath: *struggles, kicking at Envy's head*
OOC!Roy: W-was there anything useful in the b-books, Sheska?
Balthamos: *raising his eyebrows* Excuse me, mortal. Do you really want to take that sort of tone with me? Today, of all days.
OOC!Izumi: *her student is ignoring her D:<... stands behind him and just waits*
Balthamos: *can be distracting like that*
Evil!Al: Yeah, actually, I do, so tell me what the fuck you are. And, since you sound oh so important, what's going on?
IC!Sheska: Yeah, but I've been trying to find something that doesn't require the, uh, Philosopher's Stone. *look away*
IC!Sheska: And even then it's theoretical.
OOC!Roy: ... Right. So, um, basically there's n-nothing ...?
OOC!Psiren: *to Al* Err... Psiren? What?
OOC!Scar: *trying his best not to listen because there really is no point to wondering now, look at the sky, shakes his head*
IC!Sheska: *a bit indignant, also stressed and has not slept* Well if I had more time!
Balthamos: I'm an Angel of the Lord. I am here because it is God's command.
IC!Ed: *glances back at Clara* Psiren- That's your double, Clara...
Balthamos: It's the apocalypse, young man. You'd best put that filthy mouth of yours to good use and start praying.
IC!Gluttony: *catching a bit of a stronger scent* ...Nice Clara Lady this way! *takes off faster in the direction of park*
OOC!Roy: ... I wasn't b-blaming you! I'm - I'm sorry.
OOC!Roy: *follows Gluttony*
Evil!Al: Blah blah no, there's no such thing, freak. ::and turns around to snap at whoever thought it would be good to sneak up behind him:: WHAT?- ::takes a second, lolwut ghost:: ... Um.
OOC!Scar: *calling out* CLARA?!
IC!Sheska: *deep breath* Sorry. I'm just not happy the world is going to end. *the realization hitting her full force* The world is going to end?!
Balthamos: *mortals are driving me crazy - flies off, cuffing E!Al with his wing*
OOC!Psiren: ...What?! she's that thief? I read about her in the news....
OOC!Scar: *sees the fight with Envy and gives it a very wide berth, looking around somewhat frantically* Hey, CLARA?!
OOC!Izumi: *smiles* Hello, Al.
Darren: *having a debate with himself about the pros and cons of trying to get up and find some way to get out to Clara's mansion, but mental images of earthquakes and car-eating rifts in the ground keep interrupting*
IC!Envy: *to Wrath* Are you done lecturing me yet?
IC!Envy: *does a twist through the air, landing behind Ran Fan and grabbing her around the throat*
OOC!Psiren: *shakes her head* Nevermind. *to Al* I think the hospital's this way. *points*
IC!Ran Fan: *standing up again and pulling out kunai* A woman and a human wanna-be. How does that feel. *o shit, dodges at first but is eventually grabbed*
OOC!Psiren: *hears her name* ...MAL?!
IC!Ed: *shakes his head vigorously, starts pushing at Al to let him go* No- Not the hospital- Can't- No time-
Balthamos: *sees the wounded mortal (Darren) and lands next to him; trying to find Raz* Have you seen an angel somewhere around here?
Evil!Al: ::smacked with wing ow, stumbles:: Yeah, fuck you too, fairy. ::looks back at ghost!Izumi, realization dawning, then snickers, apparently unfazed by the whole ghost thing::
Evil!Al: Heh, it's like they say. Everyone who leaves here comes back eventually, huh?
OOC!Scar: *rushes towards the sound of the voice; sees the whole scene with Al and Ed and Clara; totally ditches Roy and co*
Adventure!Wrath: I'm just struck by some odd force inside that makes me think you'll understand at some level. *dashes forward* Oh no you don't.
OOC!Roy: *starts running in the direction of Clara's voice after Mal, ignoring the fight*
Darren: AAUGH! *nearly falls into the street again, wide-eyed* ...Uh... You, um. *swallows hard* ...What?
IC!Envy: *uses Ran Fan as a shield, cackling*
Balthamos: *as gently as he can manage* An angel? Someone like me, with wings on his back. *offers a hand, because he isn't always a jerk*
Adventure!Wrath: *oh shit cuts Ran Fan, it's not deep but still a dumb mistake*
IC!Envy: *glee*
OOC!Scar: *collapses onto the ground near his friends, rubbing the back of his hand across his scarred brow and trying his best to keep it together* Riza's ... ghost said... *catching his breath*
Darren: ...I know what angels are. Um. *looks nervously at the offered had* ...I didn't think I was hurt that badly. I'm not really ready to die yet, uh, is there any way I could maybe... argue about this?
IC!Sheska: *has actually forgotten about the books she's left behind* I can't believe this. Everything? Everything is going to end?
OOC!Izumi: *shakes her head* Still so rude. *crosses her arms* Apparently.
Balthamos: *half-smile* I'm sorry, son. It's the apocalypse. You aren't dying yet, but you will soon. What's your name?
OOC!Roy: *notices that Sheska isn't following, and really can't leave her right next to a massive fight; stops and turns* SHESKA! Come on!
IC!Sheska: *starts to follow while still freaking out*
OOC!Psiren: Whoa, Mal, hey, are you alright?
Evil!Al: ::smirk:: Too bad I dunno how to get rid of ghosts or I'd put you away for good. What'd you come back here for, you gonna haunt me or some shit?
Darren: .........................Oh well that's reassuring. *takes the hand finally and gets to his feet a little unsteadily; mm, anemia* I'm Darren. And this is complete crap, by the way. No offense.
OOC!Scar: *deep breath, shaking his head, just trying to get the words out* I'm so sorry Clara.
Balthamos: *eyebrows raise; are all mortals rude these days?! No wonder they're calling it quits* Excuse me?
IC!Ran Fan: *remembering training, takes Envy's arm from around her neck, steps back and pulls the arm into an arm lock behind his back, other hand on his other shoulder* Kid, do something.
IC!Al: *notices Gluttony lurking and puts Ed down, thinking he is a threat and getting on his guard*
IC!Envy: Ohh, she's a fiesty one!
OOC!Roy: *grabs onto her arm as soon as she gets near enough, and carries on walking after Mal while he talks to her* L-listen. I know it's - things are bad, but - this is the - the w-worst time for us to p-panic ...
OOC!Izumi: *smiles* Why not? You are my second favorite student after all....
Adventure!Wrath: *Pulls out the fire crystal, claps his hands around it and starts the reaction, tries to thrust it into Envy when it's ready to blow, really hoping it works this time*
Darren: This! *waves arms around himself* All of this! Everything crashing down, giant scaly things erupting out of the ground and trying to eat my shoulder! Dying?! Am I supposed to be okay with that?
OOC!Psiren: Sorry? ...Al! Hospital! Mal, help me take Ed to a doctor.
IC!Envy: *shifts into a smaller form to get out of the lock, then shifts again quickly into a large form, grabbing both sides of Ran Fan's head and twisting savagely, breaking her neck*
Evil!Al: ::just laughs:: Uh huh. Yeah, well, you're a terrible teacher. I can't imagine you'll be any better at haunting someone. 'Specially someone as awesome as me.

Summary: Apocalypse, Part I. What starts out as a sort of nice day rapidly goes South. Earthquakes, violence, blood, angels, ghosts, and a hole in the sky.
OOC!Psiren: *sitting on a park bench, sort of watching people go by*
Balthamos: *has given up on pretense and is flying over the city, in high alert, early as always*
Raziel: *also diligent, in his more relaxed way... just sorta sitting on a rooftop*
IC!Hawkeye: *waaaandering aimlessly*

Adventure!Wrath: *walking by, becoming instantly horrified upon seeing Clara and hiding*
IC!Envy: *scarfing down handfuls of red stone, grinning like a maniac, ready to start some serious trouble*
OOC!Scar: *sees Roy and slinks out of the alley he was hiding in, calling out* Hey! Roy!
Evil!Al: Heh. Not like - ::turns, thinking he saw something move quickly out of the corner of his eye::
IC!Ed: *out on the street on the edge of the park, just looking up into the sky with a very serious expression on his face, getting really bad feelings for some reason*
OOC!Roy: *turns, hearing his name, and smiles* Mal! Hello! ... I'm surprised to see you out and about ...
OOC!Psiren: *cranes to look at what he's looking at, sees nothing* Hmmmm?
IC!Ran Fan: *Observing from the rooftop like a, well, like a ninja*
OOC!Scar: *guilty look, pulls off his sunglasses* Well you know I just- *shrugs* I can't hide out. Not every day.
BIG BOLD LETTERS: SMALL EARTHQUAKE, LASTS SEVERAL SECONDS.
Evil!Al: ::shrugs, waves it off with a smirk:: Who knows. Anyway, I was just thinkin' this place still isn't living up to expectations, you know? Bu- ::JARRED BY EARTHQUAKE WTF::
OOC!Roy: *about to answer when the earthquake hits; grabs onto a building* ... What was that?
IC!Ran Fan: *almost falls*
OOC!Scar: What the- *jumps out of the way as a streetlight comes crashing down*
Adventure!Wrath: *out in the open now, looking around, wtf*
IC!Ed: *eyes widen, EARTHQUAKE!!* Ohshi- *tries to grab onto something for support and falls back on his butt*
OOC!Psiren: *clings tightly to her park bench until it passes* ...Well that's never happened before.
OOC!Roy: *stares at the fallen streetlamp* Um. That's ... not good.
Balthamos: Oh, good. Finally. *starts his way towards what should be the center of town, ready to get this stupid job over with*
IC!Sheska: *yell from around the corner* Ahhhg! My books!
Raziel: *smiles to himself*
OOC!Scar: *wide-eyed* Yeah you're tellin' me!
Evil!Al: ::remains standing in a wide stance, thanks to balancing skillz:: ... Yeah, but still, that's nothing. Sounded like you guys were having way more fun here than you actually are.
IC!Envy: *why is that a runty little alchemist I spy there?*
OOC!Psiren: *eyeroll* Of course you would think it was "fun". *spots Wrath* ...Adventure Wrath?
Adventure!Wrath: *deer in headlights* Hi?
IC!Ed: *twitches. did someone look at him and think "runt"?!*
Evil!Al ::checks the contents of his satchel, smirks, then looks over at Adventure!Wrath:: Well, look who it is. I remember you, you little freak.
IC!Sheska: *gathering up books and heading to where everyone else is, kind of stops upon seeing so many people she knows*
IC!Envy: *deliberates a moment on what form he should take and decides on Al; hurries over to Ed with a metallic creaking, saying in his best sissy nervous voice* What was that?!
IC!Hawkeye: *seeing Sheska* Oh, hello. *detached*
Adventure!Wrath: *seriously did not need an additional pain in the ass, not liking E!A at all*
IC!Ed: *looks over at armor!Al, brow furrowing* I have no idea. It obviously wasn't normal. *starts moving closer to everyone else*
OOC!Roy: *also spots Sheska and waves, not recognising Ghost!Riza from this distance*
OOC!Scar: *pushing his hood off his head, screw disguise he's with Roy he can be a little more daring*
OOC!Psiren: *smiles* Hello. *glances at E!Al, opens her mouth, shuts it again* ...I was going to say "be nice", but....
IC!Sheska: *heading over to Roy* There was an earthquake. Did you feel it? *dumb question*
IC!Envy: *following after him; smiling evilly and very glad that Al's face is not overly expressive - how should he kill the runt, now?*
OOC!Roy: Yes. It, um .. it knocked the lamppost over. *is King of Stating the Obvious* Are you all right?
Evil!Al ::snickers:: Pointless, yeah. Good work, took you long enough.
IC!Gluttony: *has been lurking in an alley near Mal, knocks over a trash can*
IC!Hawkeye: *looks over and sees Mustang; too muddled by this whole spectral projection thing to realize it's his double; wanders behind Sheska towards him*
OOC!Scar: *hears the crash and jumps* HOLY CRAP.
IC!Ed: *glances back at Al over his shoulder just to check that he's still there, comes up to Clara since she's most familiar* Everyone okay?
OOC!Roy: *hears the noise inteh alley and spins around* ... Who's there?
IC!Envy: *laughing really hard on the inside OH MORE PEOPLE~!*
IC!Sheska: *oblivious to ghosts behind her* Whoa, it really did. I'm fine though, thank you.
OOC!Psiren: *decides to ignore E!Al for now, responds to Ed* Yes, I think we're all fine.
IC!Ed: *nods, looking around at all the faces, familiar or not* Okay. Good.
IC!Gluttony: *hears Mal yell and jumps, running out of alley* Nice Mal Person ok?
IC!Envy: *still pretending to be Al, oh yes, got to milk it for all it's worth* Ahhh ... Ed? *gives him the introduce-us look*
IC!Ran Fan: *eyeing Envy in Al's form, sensing something off*
OOC!Scar: *clapping a hand over his heart* Oh Ishbala, it's just you Gluttony. You scared me. *tries for a smile*
OOC!Psiren: *blinks at suit of armor*
OOC!Roy: Oh, it's you, Gluttony. *smiles, quite relieved*
Evil!Al ::waves nonchalantly at Ed and "armor!Al":: Long time no see.
IC!Ed: *still oh so oblivious* Oh- Right. Al, this is Clara. Clara, Al.
IC!Hawkeye: *gently tugging on Roy's sleeve, which doesn't move it but makes his wrist rather cold*
IC!Gluttony: Scary you? D: *looks at Roy* Hi Nice Roy Person!
IC!Al: *OH MY GOD EARTHQUAKE where is his brother?!?; runs around looking for him and sees a group of people in the park, maybe over there...*
IC!Envy: *is an impatient bastard; forms his hand into a spike behind his back* Nice to meet you~
OOC!Psiren: *blink* Your brother?
OOC!Roy: *frowns, looking down at his wrist and wondering why it's cold all of a sudden; jumps when he realises there's a ghost there, then looks up at recognises Ghost!Riza* Oh my - Lieutenant Hawkeye?!
IC!Ed: *sort of... waves awkwardly at people he knows. is this really the time for that? turns back to Clara* Yeah, he is.
IC!Ran Fan: *throws kunai down at Envy's arm*
IC!Envy: *eyetick* Mmm, but not in the way you think. *STABS HIM but gets hit at the same time and misses the heart, only getting him through the shoulder*
IC!Gluttony: *sort of notices Riza is there for the first time... ghosts don't have a smell*
OOC!Scar: *sort of scoots towards Sheska because oh weird it's a ghost*
IC!Sheska: *WTF WTF WTF!* GHOST! *panic panic panic before remembering ghosts have been here for a while*
IC!Ed: *is STABBED, eyes widening, dropping to his knees and clutching at the wound* F-FUCK...! Wha- What the...
IC!Ran Fan: *jumps down, pulling out kunai and rushing towards Envy*
IC!Hawkeye: Roy......
OOC!Psiren: *jumps and screams*
OOC!Roy: *trying really hard not to panic too, becuase he hasn't actually met a ghost of someone he knew before now* Um. Yes?
IC!Envy: *pulls his arm free and whirls to face Ran Fan, shifting back into his more workable form and snarling* You are ruining my fun!
IC!Gluttony: *blinks at Sheska, oh she's here too*
OOC!Scar: *waving a bit awkwardly* Hi, uh. I'm Mal. We met once?
Adventure!Wrath: *was about to say something, then jumps into action and draws his sword, eyeing Envy*
Evil!Al: ::eyes wide, backs up:: What the- ::oh look taking a bomb out of his satchel now, touching a thumb to the array drawn on its surface::
IC!Envy: *Gah attacked from both sides!*
IC!Ed: *ohmotherfuckingshitithuuuuuurts. trying to force the pain out of his conscious thoughts* Fuck...
IC!Ran Fan: *quick horizontal slashes while dashing* It's part of the job.
OOC!Psiren: *so much for not having a fear of death, jumps over the back of the bench and hides behind it*
IC!Hawkeye: Roy.... it's ending.... it's ending today.
OOC!Psiren:
IC!Envy: *is unconcerned, lets himself get sliced and tries to kick at the same time*
IC!Ed:
IC!Sheska: .... It? The world? *getting a bit more comfortable with ghosts, as in only freaking out a bit*
Evil!Al: ::backing away from you crazy motherfuckers and throwing that bomb in the general direction of Envy and Ed now kthx::
OOC!Roy: *doesn't need to ask what* ... T-today? But - that's ... oh no ...
IC!Hawkeye: *can't seem to hear Sheska, just focusing on Roy and flickering with the concentration of delivering her message* Apocalypse .... today ...
IC!Ed: *grits his teeth, turning a little and quickly transmuting a wall out of the ground to protect who he's sure are innocents*
Adventure!Wrath: *running at Envy, sees an opening and makes to cut him in half*
IC!Envy: *dodges but gets another nasty slash along his back; grits his teeth seeing Ed running away; then realizes it is WRATH attacking him* What the hell are you doing!?
IC!Ran Fan: *is kicked* Ah yes, homunculi heal. *crouching and readying shuriken*
OOC!Scar: Oh shit.
IC!Gluttony: *what's all the fuss about?*
Adventure!Wrath:*smiling now* What I should have done a long time ago. Prove that I am not like you! *pulls blade back and ready for Envy to attack*
OOC!Roy: *stares at Ghost!Riza in horror, really starting to panic now* But - it - *takes a deep breath and tries to get a hold of himself* Th-thank you. For - for warning us.
IC!Al: *spots his brother ducking behind a wall and runs for him, not noticing the blood right away* Nii-san~!
IC!Hawkeye: *nods with a wan smile, getting fainter and fainter* Had to.... It's you.
IC!Ed: *keeping his hand over the wound in some vain attempt to stop the bleeding, eyes squeezed shut*
IC!Envy: *glancing between one and the other; he's gotten out of worse before, and he just binged on red stone*
OOC!Roy: *watches her getting fainter and frowns slightly, not really quite understanding what she's saying but - since she appears to be disappearing - doesn't want to start asking questings in her last moments*
IC!Al: *notices the wound - and what is Psiren doing here? - and crouches down* Ed, what...?!
IC!Ran Fan: *flinging shuriken at Envy, rushing forward again*
OOC!Psiren: *frowns, going over to Ed and ripping off some of her skirt* Oh God, Ed... here, move your hand....
IC!Al: *just doesn't even know what to do* Ed ... Ed are you OK!?
IC!Envy: *ducks under it, flexible bastard, grinning like it's the end of the world*
IC!Sheska: *sighs* I really hope the Apocalypse is not today, I have reading to do. *it getting tired of this*
IC!Gluttony: *doesn't know wtf is going on... chews on some dead cat he found in the alley*
IC!Ed: *peeks one eye open, flinches a little when he sees Al but relaxes and lets Clara do her thing when he hears the ongoing battle. that must be still be Envy they're fighting* That- bastard...
Evil!Al: ::sneaks away since nobody seems to be paying him attention ... bwahaha::
Adventure!Wrath: *overhead jumping slice*
OOC!Psiren: *binds wound as tight as she can, lips pressed together grimly*
OOC!Roy: ... I don't think she would tell us that for nothing ...
OOC!Scar: What are we supposed to do? *helpless, terrified look*
BIG BOLD LETTERS: LOUD TEARING SOUND FROM EVERYWHERE AT ONCE AS A RIP IS TORN IN THE RED SKY, THROUGH WHICH BLACKNESS AND A FEW STARS ARE SEEN.
OOC!Scar: HOLY FUCK. WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!
IC!Sheska: *crossing her arms* It's nice to see her again but right now my job is to stop all this *indicating, the entire world* from going to crap.
IC!Ed: *winces, nods gratefully to Clara* What's hap- *looks up into the sky, HOLYSHIT* ... You've gotta be kidding me...
Evil!Al: ::staaaares from where he's gone halfway up a building already::
IC!Envy: *is really too busy dodging all these attacks; whirls and catches Wrath with a punch to the gut, leaving his back exposed to Ran Fan*
OOC!Roy: *really wishes he had an answer for Mal* ... I don't know. I - *stops short, hearing the tearing sound and looking up; whispers, very quietly* This can't be happening ...
OOC!Psiren: *looks up, eyes widening* Jesus, Lord Almighty....
Adventure!Wrath: *was over anxious, is knocked back several meters*
*CUE EPIC DRAMATIC MUSIC*
IC!Al: *trying to take over stopping the bleeding* Ed, what? *looks up too and gulps*
IC!Ran Fan: *double kunai slice to the spine, then distracted for a second by the sky*
OOC!Scar: *awful feeling of dread in his stomach* I've gotta find Clara.
IC!Envy: *dies; oh well, had to happen some time; slumps to the ground, healing quickly*
IC!Sheska: *shit* I think I'm too late...
OOC!Roy: *nods* All right. We'll go together. Gluttony, Sheska, are you coming?
IC!Ed: *just keeps staring at the sky, trying to swallow the lump in his throat* ...shit...
IC!Gluttony: *still doesn't know what the fuss is about, is unhappy Nice Peoples is upset* DDD:
Evil!Al: ::on second thought, maybe closer to the ground is better... going back down that fire escape ladder now, yeah, and sticking close to the building, watching them from a distance::
IC!Gluttony: Kay...
IC!Sheska: *blink* Coming, to where?
IC!Ed: We- have to get out of here or- something... *starts trying to get to his feet, but OW, blood loss sucks...*
OOC!Scar: Stop this how? *looking around - which way should he look first; barely suppressing panic* Where is she Roy?
IC!Al: NI-SAN, stop moving! *makes him sit down*
IC!Ran Fan: *looking back at Envy, not sure how to finish this, starts slicing him a bit more*
OOC!Roy: *to Sheska* To find Clara. It's as good a plan as any. *turns to Mal* I was sort of hoping you might know ...?
OOC!Scar: Uh... she could be ... in the park? *wild guess*
IC!Sheska: *looking around* Where'd she go. Sure, I'll go.
OOC!Psiren: Al, right? Can you carry him? I think he might need a hospital.
Darren: *falls through a dimensional rift into the middle of the street and bleeds everywhere* ...Ow.
IC!Gluttony: I find she!
Balthamos: *chilling below the fire escape waiting for the real fireworks; looks up as a mortal comes by*
IC!Ed: *tries to swat his hand away* We HAVE to move... Or else that- *looks back up at the sky* I don't even know what the hell that is....
Adventure!Wrath: *coming back up to Envy, looking down at him and finding this very amusing* Haha. Seems you've met your match Envy.
OOC!Roy: *looks at Gluttony, very grateful* ... Thank you. Lead the way.
OOC!Scar: *turns to Gluttony* Dude, you ROCK. Please?
OOC!Izumi: *comes up behind E!Al* Al!
IC!Envy: *sneers at Wrath* You're pathetic. Teaming up with humans. You think it matters?
IC!Gluttony: *preens a little, then gets to business, sniffing around a little*
Adventure!Wrath: It matters. It matters to me. I know now that being a homunculus does not exclude being a good person, and that starts with throwing off your influence.
BIG BOLD LETTERS: ANOTHER SMALL EARTHQUAKE.
OOC!Scar: Sheska, what were you saying about your jo- AHH!
IC!Ran Fan: How do we kill him?
IC!Envy: *laughs out loud* Good person? GOOD PERSON?! *lashes out at Wrath, grabbing for his ankles*
Adventure!Wrath: *swallow* Keep cutting?
Evil!Al: ::oh look an angel thing wtf stare OSHIT EARTHQUAKE:: Fuck- ::braces against building::
IC!Ed: *staggers mid-attempt to get the hell away, dropping to his knees again* GH- DAMMIT. What the hell IS all this?!
Adventure!Wrath: *not paying attention, is grabbed*
OOC!Roy: *grabs onto Mal's arm, beacuse it's the nearest thing to him right now*
OOC!Psiren: Ed, stop trying to walk! Al, or whoever, can you carry him?
OOC!Scar: *walking despite his knees shaking, after Gluttony* Shit. Shit. We're all gonna die, aren't we?
Darren: *had nearly regained his footing, but promptly thrown off it again and into the trunk of a scraggly sidewalk tree* What the- *lots of swearing goes here and he sits down hard at the base of the tree grumpily*
Al: *looking over at Clara, surprised* Of course, er- Psiren? *hauling Ed over his shoulder*
OOC!Roy: *doesn't reply, becuase he suspects the answer is probably 'yes'*
IC!Sheska: *shaken, dropping her books again. after it's over* I wanted to stop all this. But it seems I'm too late.
IC!Gluttony: *freezes when earth shakes, wide-eyed, then goes back to tracking*
IC!Envy: *lashes out at Ran Fan this time, hoping to have more like, aiming a kick at her head*
IC!Ran Fan: *cursing the timely earthquake. Is kicked in the head. Falls back and masks flies off*
OOC!Scar: *shrugs, not even bother to ask how she could have done that* Well uh- *swallows* Guess that's too bad.
IC!Envy: My, my, look at this~? Is it a girl, then?
IC!Ran Fan: *scowl + anger*
IC!Ed: *none too happy about being carried around* Al- We have to tell everybody else...
Evil!Al: ::okay now there's time to stare and weird-ass person with flaming sword:: Okay, what the fuck are you supposed to be?
Adventure!Wrath: *struggles, kicking at Envy's head*
OOC!Roy: W-was there anything useful in the b-books, Sheska?
Balthamos: *raising his eyebrows* Excuse me, mortal. Do you really want to take that sort of tone with me? Today, of all days.
OOC!Izumi: *her student is ignoring her D:<... stands behind him and just waits*
Balthamos: *can be distracting like that*
Evil!Al: Yeah, actually, I do, so tell me what the fuck you are. And, since you sound oh so important, what's going on?
IC!Sheska: Yeah, but I've been trying to find something that doesn't require the, uh, Philosopher's Stone. *look away*
IC!Sheska: And even then it's theoretical.
OOC!Roy: ... Right. So, um, basically there's n-nothing ...?
OOC!Psiren: *to Al* Err... Psiren? What?
OOC!Scar: *trying his best not to listen because there really is no point to wondering now, look at the sky, shakes his head*
IC!Sheska: *a bit indignant, also stressed and has not slept* Well if I had more time!
Balthamos: I'm an Angel of the Lord. I am here because it is God's command.
IC!Ed: *glances back at Clara* Psiren- That's your double, Clara...
Balthamos: It's the apocalypse, young man. You'd best put that filthy mouth of yours to good use and start praying.
IC!Gluttony: *catching a bit of a stronger scent* ...Nice Clara Lady this way! *takes off faster in the direction of park*
OOC!Roy: ... I wasn't b-blaming you! I'm - I'm sorry.
OOC!Roy: *follows Gluttony*
Evil!Al: Blah blah no, there's no such thing, freak. ::and turns around to snap at whoever thought it would be good to sneak up behind him:: WHAT?- ::takes a second, lolwut ghost:: ... Um.
OOC!Scar: *calling out* CLARA?!
IC!Sheska: *deep breath* Sorry. I'm just not happy the world is going to end. *the realization hitting her full force* The world is going to end?!
Balthamos: *mortals are driving me crazy - flies off, cuffing E!Al with his wing*
OOC!Psiren: ...What?! she's that thief? I read about her in the news....
OOC!Scar: *sees the fight with Envy and gives it a very wide berth, looking around somewhat frantically* Hey, CLARA?!
OOC!Izumi: *smiles* Hello, Al.
Darren: *having a debate with himself about the pros and cons of trying to get up and find some way to get out to Clara's mansion, but mental images of earthquakes and car-eating rifts in the ground keep interrupting*
IC!Envy: *to Wrath* Are you done lecturing me yet?
IC!Envy: *does a twist through the air, landing behind Ran Fan and grabbing her around the throat*
OOC!Psiren: *shakes her head* Nevermind. *to Al* I think the hospital's this way. *points*
IC!Ran Fan: *standing up again and pulling out kunai* A woman and a human wanna-be. How does that feel. *o shit, dodges at first but is eventually grabbed*
OOC!Psiren: *hears her name* ...MAL?!
IC!Ed: *shakes his head vigorously, starts pushing at Al to let him go* No- Not the hospital- Can't- No time-
Balthamos: *sees the wounded mortal (Darren) and lands next to him; trying to find Raz* Have you seen an angel somewhere around here?
Evil!Al: ::smacked with wing ow, stumbles:: Yeah, fuck you too, fairy. ::looks back at ghost!Izumi, realization dawning, then snickers, apparently unfazed by the whole ghost thing::
Evil!Al: Heh, it's like they say. Everyone who leaves here comes back eventually, huh?
OOC!Scar: *rushes towards the sound of the voice; sees the whole scene with Al and Ed and Clara; totally ditches Roy and co*
Adventure!Wrath: I'm just struck by some odd force inside that makes me think you'll understand at some level. *dashes forward* Oh no you don't.
OOC!Roy: *starts running in the direction of Clara's voice after Mal, ignoring the fight*
Darren: AAUGH! *nearly falls into the street again, wide-eyed* ...Uh... You, um. *swallows hard* ...What?
IC!Envy: *uses Ran Fan as a shield, cackling*
Balthamos: *as gently as he can manage* An angel? Someone like me, with wings on his back. *offers a hand, because he isn't always a jerk*
Adventure!Wrath: *oh shit cuts Ran Fan, it's not deep but still a dumb mistake*
IC!Envy: *glee*
OOC!Scar: *collapses onto the ground near his friends, rubbing the back of his hand across his scarred brow and trying his best to keep it together* Riza's ... ghost said... *catching his breath*
Darren: ...I know what angels are. Um. *looks nervously at the offered had* ...I didn't think I was hurt that badly. I'm not really ready to die yet, uh, is there any way I could maybe... argue about this?
IC!Sheska: *has actually forgotten about the books she's left behind* I can't believe this. Everything? Everything is going to end?
OOC!Izumi: *shakes her head* Still so rude. *crosses her arms* Apparently.
Balthamos: *half-smile* I'm sorry, son. It's the apocalypse. You aren't dying yet, but you will soon. What's your name?
OOC!Roy: *notices that Sheska isn't following, and really can't leave her right next to a massive fight; stops and turns* SHESKA! Come on!
IC!Sheska: *starts to follow while still freaking out*
OOC!Psiren: Whoa, Mal, hey, are you alright?
Evil!Al: ::smirk:: Too bad I dunno how to get rid of ghosts or I'd put you away for good. What'd you come back here for, you gonna haunt me or some shit?
Darren: .........................Oh well that's reassuring. *takes the hand finally and gets to his feet a little unsteadily; mm, anemia* I'm Darren. And this is complete crap, by the way. No offense.
OOC!Scar: *deep breath, shaking his head, just trying to get the words out* I'm so sorry Clara.
Balthamos: *eyebrows raise; are all mortals rude these days?! No wonder they're calling it quits* Excuse me?
IC!Ran Fan: *remembering training, takes Envy's arm from around her neck, steps back and pulls the arm into an arm lock behind his back, other hand on his other shoulder* Kid, do something.
IC!Al: *notices Gluttony lurking and puts Ed down, thinking he is a threat and getting on his guard*
IC!Envy: Ohh, she's a fiesty one!
OOC!Roy: *grabs onto her arm as soon as she gets near enough, and carries on walking after Mal while he talks to her* L-listen. I know it's - things are bad, but - this is the - the w-worst time for us to p-panic ...
OOC!Izumi: *smiles* Why not? You are my second favorite student after all....
Adventure!Wrath: *Pulls out the fire crystal, claps his hands around it and starts the reaction, tries to thrust it into Envy when it's ready to blow, really hoping it works this time*
Darren: This! *waves arms around himself* All of this! Everything crashing down, giant scaly things erupting out of the ground and trying to eat my shoulder! Dying?! Am I supposed to be okay with that?
OOC!Psiren: Sorry? ...Al! Hospital! Mal, help me take Ed to a doctor.
IC!Envy: *shifts into a smaller form to get out of the lock, then shifts again quickly into a large form, grabbing both sides of Ran Fan's head and twisting savagely, breaking her neck*
Evil!Al: ::just laughs:: Uh huh. Yeah, well, you're a terrible teacher. I can't imagine you'll be any better at haunting someone. 'Specially someone as awesome as me.
