Summary: Evil!Al comes to get the last little piece of his Philosopher's Stone back. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Evil!Al: ::walks through the bushes along the side of the house, ducking low, still toting his knapsack along::

IC!Ed!H: *hanging out in the study, looking through various books for ones that could be read to Edward later*

OOC!Psiren: *sweeping in the foyer, humming absently to herself*

T!Ed: *napping upstairs in Hei's room, twitching and making noises in his sleep*

IC!Alfons: ::sitting on his bed, working; glances out the window, thinking he'd seen something move, then shrugs and goes back to his notebook::

Evil!Al: ::creeps along the house around to the back, then pulls a grappling hook and rope out of his bag, stepping back and throwing it, hooking it around a chimney, wincing slightly at the "thunk" as it lands::

IC!Ed!H: *takes the books and starts to head back to Alfons' room, pausing as he hears the thunk of the hook*

Evil!Al: ::tugs on the rope, making sure it's stable, then uses the rope and the side of the building to climb upward::

OOC!Psiren: *hears nothing, la la la, sweeping yay*

IC!Ed!H: *thinks it must be his imagination and shrugs, going into Alfons' room and smiling* Hey... I thought you could help me sort through some of these books, if you had time?

IC!Alfons: ::smiles back:: Ja, of course? What did you find?

Evil!Al: ::pulls himself up onto the roof and tugs the rope up, placing it and the hook into his bag, then pulls out a piece of chalk and starts sketching an array on the shingles::

IC!Ed!H: Some novels, something by a Tolkien... Ahm... *sets the pile down, looking through them* ...A couple of encyclopedias. *smiles sheepishly*

IC!Alfons:: ...Encyclopedias? ::chuckles:: Interesting choice...

IC!Ed!H: It seemed like the thing to get? *blushes*

Evil!Al: ::activates the array and lowers himself down into the top floor of the house, landing in the hallway at the southeast corner, then stalks down the hallway, peeking in rooms as he goes::

IC!Alfons: ::smiles and kisses him on the cheek:: What is the Tolkien one, a novel of some sort? ::picks it up::

T!Ed: *cries out in his sleep, twisting in the blankets and burying his face in one of the pillows, obviously not noticing anything going on outside of his dream*

OOC!Psiren: *blinks, thinking she saw a flash of light, glancing around*

IC!Ed!H: The Lord of the Rings. *shrugs* I've never heard of them before, but they sound interesting.

IC!Alfons: Hm. ::flips to the first page, scanning it a bit:: That might be fun, ja.

OOC!Psiren: ......... *goes back to her sweeping*

Evil!Al: ::hears T!Ed, frowning, for he'd hoped by dumb luck nobody would be around; strides down past the parlor and looks into the room at the end of the hall, grinning:: Here we are...

IC!Ed!H: It seems like it. I was thinking I could read to him later, since that seems to be helping some.

IC!Alfons: Ja, he would like that. ::smiles::

Evil!Al: ::sets his knapsack down on the bed and starts searching the room, looking under the pillow, in the pillowcase, then starts pulling stuff out from under the bed and goes through that::

IC!Ed!H: Good. *smiles back, checking out the books again before stretching* I think I'm going to go make some tea. Would you like some?

IC!Alfons: I would love some, danke. ::kisses his temple:: Black tea of some sort, how about?

IC!Ed!H: That sounds fine to me. I'll ask Clara if she wants some. *smiles at the kiss before exiting the room, stopping dead when he sees the light from the hole in the roof* Er... Brother?

Evil!Al: ::grumbles, and starts going through dolls and toys and such things, tossing them aside carelessly, freezing as one hits the door, causing it to bang into the wall::

IC!Alfons: Ja? ::leans over to look out the doorway at him::

IC!Ed!H: *nearly jumps a mile at the bang, whipping around to face the door, dropping his voice to a whisper* ...Someone broke in, I think. *points to the hole*

OOC!Psiren: *glances over at Edward, smiling, then glances upwards when she hears a faint thunk*

IC!Alfons: ::gets up and looks upward:: Oh... goodness. ::looks in the direction of the sound::

Evil!Al: ::curses under his breath; starts going through drawers hastily, throwing clothing around the room in his search::

OOC!Psiren: *wanders over, clutching her broom, glancing up the stairs* ...Oh my goodness! ...What should we do? *eyes wide*

IC!Alfons: ::look of horror:: Oh Gott... What if it is someone after Edward...?

T!Ed: *whimpers in his sleep, coming to groggily and calling out raspily* Wass'at?

IC!Ed!H: *looks back wide eyed* They couldn't be..?

OOC!Psiren: *eyes really wide now* ...You don't think...? *clutches her broom tighter, glancing in the direction of the library*

Evil!Al: ::comes to his underwear drawer, eyes narrowing... re-searches the other drawers more thoroughly, really not wanting to deal with that::

IC!Alfons: Well... The only thing to do is find out... ::frowns, then starts quietly making his way upstairs::

OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip, following after him with some trepidation*

Evil!Al: ::hears footsteps coming up the stairs and growls, shutting the door quickly and transmuting it so it seals shut completely::

IC!Ed!H: *creeps after them, wishing he had something heavy to swing around since that seems appropriate at the moment*

T!Ed: *sitting curled up in bed, listening to the noises fearfully* Guys..?

IC!Alfons: ::quickly makes his way to T!Ed's room, peeking in and looking around, sighing in relief:: You are here... Have you seen anyone come by?

T!Ed: N-no... *whimpers* Are they..? *eyes go wide, on the verge of panicking*

Evil!Al: ::gives in and searches the underwear drawer, pulling out panties one at a time, trying to touch them as little as possible, squinting in disgust::

OOC!Psiren: *standing in the hall, hissing in the direction of Alfons and T!Ed* ...The noises are coming from the other wing!

IC!Ed!H: *grabs a large, heavy candle holder, creeping towards the other wing as quietly as he can*

IC!Alfons: ::keeps his voice low:: Someone broke in, but we are not sure who... ::glances over at Clara, then looks back to T!Ed:: If they were after you, they would have already come, I would have thought... Can you wait here?

T!Ed: Don't leave me, please! Please don't leave me, I don't want them to get me... *hides his face against his knees, rocking*

Evil!Al: ::catches a glint of red and grins, grabbing the tiny fragment and sticking it in his pocket:: ...Fuck, now I have to get out.

IC!Alfons: ... ::glances back toward Clara and his brother, somewhat apologetic, then goes to put his arms around T!Ed:: Whoever it is is not after you, Edward.

OOC!Psiren: *torn between staying with Alfons and T!Ed and following after Ed Heiderich* ...Alfons, why don't I stay with Edward and you go help your brother...? *is sort of afraid to go investigate*

IC!Alfons: ::nods at Clara:: Edward, is that alright? I need to go find whoever is here and make them leave us alone.

T!Ed: *jerks his head in a nod, whimpering and sniffling*

IC!Ed!H: *standing outside the door to the room, testing the handle gently and hefting the candle holder, sort of afraid to do much else for the moment*

OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip, coming into the room and kneeling next to the bed* ...Do you need the broom, Alfons, or should I keep it...?

Evil!Al: ::picks up his knapsack and climbs carefully up onto the dresser, starting to draw an array on the ceiling; nearly loses his balance as the dresser wobbles::

IC!Alfons: Keep it, Clara, I will be fine. ::squeezes T!Ed gently, then lets go and trots quietly toward his brother::

IC!Ed!H: Oh, gott... *takes a deep breath before shouting* Bitte, whoever is in there had better come out! Er... I have a gun.

T!Ed: *near clings to Clara when she comes over, burying his face against her neck and doing a pretty good imitation of a koala*

Evil!Al: ::jerks toward the door at the shout, causing the dresser to fall over; rolls along the floor, colliding with the bed:: FUCK! ::rubs his head in pain::

IC!Ed!H: That seemed to work... *grips the candle holder* Alfons, could you open the door, bitte?

OOC!Psiren: *leans her broom against the endtable within easy reach, putting her arms around Edward and stroking his hair* Oh, sweetie, it'll be okay... it'll be okay... Alfons and Edward will take care of it....

IC!Alfons: ::recognizes that voice:: ... Oh Gott, of course it would be Alphonse. ::frowns, then nods and puts his back to the door, opening it inward... and then realizes the door is sealed shut::

T!Ed: *manages to gasp between sobs* We're a-all g-going to die..!

IC!Ed!H: ...Maybe transmute it open? *blinks at the door*

Evil!Al: ::springs back onto his feet after a moment and shoves the dresser up against the door, then starts quickly scribbling an array on the wall instead, greatly displeased::

OOC!Psiren: No no no, no we're not, we're going to be fine.... *is convincing herself as much as Edward*

IC!Alfons: ::nods, motioning his brother to the side:: Stand back, we do not know what he will do... ::takes a deep breath, then claps and unseals the door, opening it slowly::

T!Ed: *jerks back a little to look into her face, panicked* Kill me b-before th-they get here, please..!

IC!Alfons: ::doesn't get very far before the door is stuck against the dresser:: ...

IC!Ed!H: *stands back as instructed, ready to spring into action if need be*
IC!Ed!H: ... *oh god, they're being menaced by a dresser*

Evil!Al: ::finishes his array, then turns, facing the door, and grabs a couple tennis ball-sized bombs::

OOC!Psiren: Edward, no... they're not going to get you, I promise. We won't let them.

IC!Alfons: ::sighs and claps again, transmuting a hole in the door::

Evil!Al: ::growls, activating one of the bombs, and lobs it at the door as the hole opens::

IC!Alfons: ::yelps and jumps backward, bracing against the wall as the bomb explodes, smoke wafting out into the hallway::

OOC!Psiren: *shouts, startled, when the bomb goes off, eyes wide*

IC!Ed!H: *drops himself to the ground as the bomb goes sailing over his head with a yell, coughing through the smoke*

T!Ed: *screams, pushing away from Clara and trying to scrabble off the bed*

OOC!Psiren: *wants to go see what happened, but doesn't want to leave Edward*

IC!Alfons: ::shaking a little; afraid to go any closer for fear of getting asploded::

OOC!Psiren: Whoa whoa whoa hey, Edward, wait, where are you going? *stands, grabbing her broom*
OOC!Psiren: *starting to wish she'd fetched the Glock from the library safe afterall*
OOC!Psiren: ...ALFONS? EDWARD? ARE YOU OKAY? *pitching her voice towards the doorway*

T!Ed: *makes it off the bed and curls himself up into a corner of the room, screaming with arms over his head*

IC!Alfons: ::inches along the wall, and calls out:: What do you want, Alphonse? This is unnecessary...

IC!Ed!H: WE'RE FINE. *stands up slowly, staying hunched over and standing on one side of the door, peering in cautiously*

Evil!Al: ::smirks, pitching the other bomb at the doorway::

IC!Alfons: ::yelps as the bomb explodes, bracing against the wall again, which crumbles slightly around the doorframe from the blast::

Evil!Al: Morons. ::snorts, grinning, then activates the array on the wall::

IC!Ed!H: *backs quickly into the hall with a yelp, eyes watering from the resulting smoke and coughing hard*

OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip, only very slightly relieved, coming around the bed and kneeling near Edward, clutching her broom and whimpering when the second bomb goes off* Oh God...

Evil!Al: ::coughs a litle as well from the smoke as it starts to filter back toward him once the wall is opened; pulls out his grappling hook and tosses it at a leg of the bed, hooking it on::

T!Ed: *pretty much thinking he's going to die, clawing at the wall and floor, trying to dig himself out of the room*

IC!Alfons: ::tries to fan smoke and dust from the damaged wall away, coughing a bit, looking desperately over to the other side of the doorway:: Brother, are you alright?

OOC!Psiren: E-Edward, hey... stop that, you'll hurt yourself.... *tries to grab one of his wrists*

IC!Ed!H: Y-yeah, I'm fine... *coughs, staying away from the door, thank you*

T!Ed: *gets his wrist caught, looking up at her fearfully and sobbing*

Evil!Al: ::hops outside and rappels down the side of the building, then sprints off into the woods, ~~a little sad to leave his grappling hook 'cause it was pretty awesome~~::

OOC!Psiren: ...It's okay Edward, I'm h-here.... *sits on the floor, scooting over to sit next to him, holding onto his wrist with one hand and clutching her broom with the other*

IC!Alfons: ::sits where he is for a little while, before risking a peek into the room, seeing nothing but destruction and P!Al's strewn belongings:: I think he got away...

IC!Ed!H: *fans his hand through the air to help clear the smoke, going back to the door and starting to push what's left of the dresser out of the way, setting the candle holder aside*
IC!Ed!H: That good for nothing... *angry coughs*

T!Ed: Gonna kill me gonna kill me gonna kill me gonna kill me gonna kill me..! *murmurs that to himself, rocking and shaking violently*

IC!Alfons: ::follows after his brother, stepping into the room:: What a mess...

OOC!Psiren: *let's go of his wrist, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and holding him close* Oh God... Edward....

IC!Ed!H: *picks up a doll, setting it uselessly back up on a shelf* What do you think he wanted?

T!Ed: *clings to her tightly, crying and babbling*

IC!Alfons: ::shrugs:: I have no idea... Then again, this being him, he may have simply wanted vandalism.

IC!Ed!H: *sighs exasperratedly* You would think if he wanted vandalism, he would have gone after other rooms too, ja? Gott, what a mess...

IC!Alfons: Ja, but he pretty clearly picked this room because it belongs to the other Alphonse. They do not exactly get along. ::sighs, then happens to spot the partly-finished array on the ceiling:: ...Odd.

OOC!Psiren: *tucks Edward's head under hers, watching the door and holding her broom ready, murmuring to him* It'll be okay... it'll be okay... we'll be okay....

IC!Ed!H: *looks up at it* You think he was trying to get out that way? *makes a face, finding that impractical*

T!Ed: Dead, all dead... all dead dead dead...

IC!Alfons: Ja, I think so... Why not just use the wall in the first place, I wonder? ...And I know that array is unfinished, but it seems a bit... excessive to write it that way. ::blinks::

IC!Ed!H: ...Are you sure he's not just insane?

IC!Alfons: ...He very well could be. It must be an Elric thing. ::lopsided smile:: We should go check on Edward, speaking of... Elrics.

OOC!Psiren: No no no, not dead.... *bites her lip, noticing there haven't been any explosions in a bit* ...ALFONS? EDWARD? ...HELLO?

IC!Ed!H: Er, yeah... *glances in the direction of Clara's yelling* WE'RE OKAY. C'mon. *starts heading back for Ed's room*

T!Ed: ALL DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD.

OOC!Psiren: No no no, shh, it's okay Edward, it's okay! We're fine! *sets her broom down, holding him with both arms*

IC!Alfons: ::follows after him, wiping soot and dust off his face and out of his hair as best as he can::

T!Ed: GOING TO DIE. *clings, face buried against her shoulder*

IC!Ed!H: *kind of... choosing to ignore that he's covered in soot, a little in shock*

OOC!Psiren: No, we're okay! I promise! Edward and Alfons are fine, we're all fine! You're safe, Edward. You're safe.

T!Ed: *jerks his head in a shake, shutting up and sitting there tensely, shaking*

IC!Alfons: ::hurries a little and enters T!Ed's room:: Oh Gott, is he alright? ::kneels on the floor by Ed::

IC!Ed!H: *stays back by the doorway, biting his lip* ...Should I get his medication?

OOC!Psiren: *is monumentally relieved to see they're all in one piece... or two pieces, or something* Oh thank goodness... I don't know, he's very frightened... what happened, what was all that?
OOC!Psiren: *eyes a bit wide still, hugging Edward and stroking his back, trying to be comforting*

IC!Alfons: Just wait a bit, Brother, I doubt we could get him to drink it right now. ::sighs softly and reaches for one of T!Ed's hands:: Hey...

T!Ed: *doesn't move and just kind of goes limp, eyes wide and frightened*

IC!Ed!H: Ahm, Alphonse broke into the other Alphonse's room... Er. There were bombs, as I'm sure you heard. *rubs at his face with the sleeve of his shirt*

IC!Alfons: ::frowns a little sadly, watching T!Ed, then nods:: Ja, I am afraid to say... that room is a bit, ahm, destroyed now.

OOC!Psiren: ...Alphonse...? ...The mean one, who likes fish? He did what? Al's room? ...Why would he do such a thing? *frowns, bewildered and now a bit angry*

IC!Ed!H: Gott, I don't know why he would. *slumps against the doorframe* I can pick up around it later and straighten things out.

IC!Alfons: ::nods:: I think it was him, ja, it sounded like his voice. ::frowns:: I just wish he had given some clue as to what he was doing in there.

OOC!Psiren: Thank you, Edward, I'll help too.... *frowns a little more* What happened? Was it just Al's room?

IC!Ed!H: *nods* Just Al's room.

T!Ed: *whimpers softly in his stupor, not taking any real notice of what's going on*

IC!Alfons: If we get some materials, I can fix up the holes in the roof and the walls... ::reaches to scratch T!Ed's head lightly, concerned::

OOC!Psiren: *rubs T!Ed's arm, squeezing him lightly* ...........The Philosopher's Stone. Al had it hidden in his room.

IC!Alfons: ::blinks, startled:: ...Really?

IC!Ed!H: ...What do you think he's going to do with something like that? *bites his lip, watching concerned*

OOC!Psiren: ...Yes, really. When you and Alphonse disappeared months ago, when you went home, Al took it. I tried to make him give it to me, but the best I could do was get him to hide it. I've been worrying about it for months.

T!Ed: *not reacting to anything and probably won't be anytime soon, breathign ragged*

IC!Alfons: No wonder... It was good of you to keep it secret like that. ::frowns::

OOC!Psiren: Well I certainly wasn't going to advertise, those things have caused enough trouble. ...Can you believe Al wanted to make a necklace of it and wear it? I thought I would have a heart attack....
OOC!Psiren: *stroking T!Ed's back idly, glancing at him and frowning a little*

IC!Alfons: A necklace? That could have been disastrous, goodness. ::shakes his head, then looks over at T!Ed:: ...Do you know where Edward has been keeping his stones? I wonder if that might help him out a little...

OOC!Psiren: ...I don't know... he's been staying in here, with Hei... try some drawers? Maybe in the end table?

IC!Ed!H: I can help... *feeling like a useless lump right now anyway; starts to look through some of the nightstand drawers*

IC!Alfons: ::moves aside so as not to be in the way, and gives his brother a weak smile:: Be careful with my double's things, I do not really want to know what belongings he keeps in his nightstand.

IC!Ed!H: I... Gott. I don't want to know either. *pales slightly*

OOC!Psiren: *shakes T!Ed's shoulders lightly, murmuring* Hey... Edward...?

T!Ed: *moves floppily as she shakes his shoulders, head lolling back*

IC!Alfons: ::frowns and reaches forward to hold his head upright, scratching at the back of his head::

OOC!Psiren: *bites her lip* Edward, come back to us... do you know where your stones are? You might feel better....

T!Ed: *and his head lolls forward a bit, being held in place, staring blankly at no one in particular, breathing shaky*

IC!Ed!H: *digging through the nightstand drawers and seeing things he wishes he could unsee*

IC!Alfons: ::runs his fingers through T!Ed's hair, growing increasingly concerned::

OOC!Psiren: ...Alfons, what should we do?

IC!Alfons: ::frowns:: I have no idea, aside from just holding him as you are and waiting for him to come to... I am not even sure that red stones would help, really.

OOC!Psiren: *sighs, worried, rocking T!Ed back and forth a little, gently*

IC!Ed!H: *OH GOD, UNSEE UNSEE; aborts mission and goes to search another part of the room for the stones*

T!Ed: *whimpers softly after some time, jerking his a little*

OOC!Psiren: ...Edward?

IC!Alfons: ::glances over at his brother, then looks back over at T!Ed::

T!Ed: *flicks his eyes up to Clara's face briefly*

IC!Ed!H: *sighs softly, not having any luck with anything else either and settles down next to his brother, biting his lip*

IC!Alfons: ::leans against his brother just barely, watching T!Ed closely::

OOC!Psiren: ...He looked at me! ...Edward, can you understand me? Say something, please.... *worries her lip with her teeth, looking into his eyes*

IC!Ed!H: *puts an arm around Alfons tentatively, hoping Clara takes the action as a comforting gesture*

T!Ed: *mumbles something incoherent, letting his eyes slide shut*

IC!Alfons: ::is comforted by that anyway, kthx; bites his lip a little when T!Ed closes his eyes:: Edward?

OOC!Psiren: ...Edward... do you want your medicine? Or some stones?

T!Ed: *just whimpers, resting his head on Clara's shoulder*

OOC!Psiren: *sighs, kissing the top of his head and leaning her head against his, giving Alfons and Edward a helpless look*

IC!Alfons: ::returns the look:: I really wish I knew what to do for him...

IC!Ed!H: Should we just let him rest..? *bites his lip*

OOC!Psiren: ...Maybe we should try to get him back in bed? ...On the other hand, I'd hate to move him, he's got quite a grip on me, poor thing....
OOC!Psiren: ...I suppose he'll come back to us eventually, on his own time....

IC!Alfons: Rest might be good... Although I would hate for him to wake up alone, given how he is acting. Maybe after I get cleaned up, I could come and check on him.

OOC!Psiren: We could take turns sitting with him... I wouldn't want to leave him alone right now either, not by any means....

IC!Ed!H: *nods* One of us should stay, at least.

OOC!Psiren: ...You boys should probably get cleaned up, you look a terrible mess.... *weak smile*

IC!Alfons: Alright, ja. Then if you do not mind, Clara, Brother and I could go wash up and get clean clothing on, and then one of us could come take your place.

OOC!Psiren: *nods* We'll sit here for now, we can decide about moving him when you get back. If you wouldn't mind fixing the hole in the roof while you're at it? At least as best as you can? In case it rains, or something....

IC!Alfons: Ja, of course, I will see what I can do. ::small smile::

IC!Ed!H: I can always make some tea, too, if that helps any. *sheepish grin*

OOC!Psiren: Oh, yes please, that would be lovely, thank you Edward.

IC!Alfons: ::smiles a little, standing:: We will be back as soon as we can, then. Good luck with him...

IC!Ed!H: *stands as well, starting to head for the door*

OOC!Psiren: *nods, rubbing T!Ed's shoulder*

IC!Alfons: ::follows him out, switching to German as soon as they leave the room, putting an arm around his waist and blushing faintly:: You were very brave, Brother... it was... kind of hot. ::glances at him shyly::

IC!Ed!H: *blushes brightly and slips an arm around his waist as well, beaming*
