The Breeze in Your Hair and the Sand Between Your Feet

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Who: Open to FMA crew + Haruhi, and Sokka (Later on?)
What: Beach party + Camping/Sailing for the teens
When: 16 (Start) → 20 (Return for the teens)
Where: Beach!
Summary: An outing to the beach!
Rating: PG-13 (Shouldn't get worse than that, though?)

While Ed is cooperating and the weather is pleasant a decision is made to go to the beach and have some fun! This will work similar to a mass action log, and y'all can create and reply to threads as you see fit.

[It's not really making much sense to Edward, either. Alchemy works my manipulating the earth. It's that simple. If they could learn it under the age of ten, alkahestry at their age should be a snap.

Al might be surprised, though, when Edward flops down on the sand, waving a hand somewhat dismissively.]</small. Whatever, whatever. It's not like we don't have lots of time to learn how to do it here. Just forget about it for today.

[ he's been seeing little bits of this all week and it still weirds him out to see ed passing up a chance to study another possible way to get home.

still. winry might hit them if they try to cut the trip short to do some research... subject change time. ]

Let's take a look around.

[Explore time! Okay then. Edward pushes himself to his feet, dusting sand off of himself and tugging on his sandals.]

Sure, let's see what's out there. Besides the beach, anyway- maybe there's something cool in the mountain.

[ looking over toward the mountain! ]

If we go now, they might not notice. [ and they won't get yelled at for their wanderlust. ]

We're supposed to be having fun, and everyone else can go swimming but us. They can't get mad at us for finding something else to do. [Let's gooooo~]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

Race you. [ because it's not a day at the beach without a race. ]

[automailed]

Ha! You're on! [With a competitive grin he takes off down the beach at a dash. And he has longer legs now so it won't be as easy for Al to win! except he probably will anyway]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

Cheater!

[ HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF 1, 2, 3 GO?

OH WELL. OFF ROBO BRO GOES. oh you are faster now. OH WELL. this is the perk of being a suit of armor ]

[automailed]

Gotta stay alert at all times, Al!

[Al will probably catch up quickly, but Ed's determined to give him a run for his money. Mind you with no goal in mind and Al lacking a body, he pretty much wins by default, since he doesn't get tired. Edward runs ahead as quickly as his legs will carry him, listening for the clank-clank-clank to get closer.]

[ RUN RUN RUN RUN RUUUUN. you may have gotten a cheater's headstart, but he'll win this race no problems at all.

and if you cheat again, bro? this will turn into an alchemy race. ]

[automailed]

[Oh bother, he doesn't last as long as he'd hoped. STILL! He holds the lead for longer than usual, and that's a source of pride, at least to him. Eventually though he starts to tire, gradually falling behind until he finally just flops over in the sand.

Ahhh why does he always have to lose so much. D|]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ whoops. al stops!

one day you'll beat him, when he's not a robot. ] Brother, are you coming?

[automailed]

[HUFF. HUFF. DAMN YOU, TIRELESS ARMOR.]

Isn't this far enough?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ PSH. ]

I could carry you.

[automailed]

But you're not going to. [Because he won't let you. DON'T PATRONIZE YOUR ELDER BROTHER, ALPHONSE.]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ PFFT. You get a laugh.

And he'll just flop down beside you if that's the case, looking out at the water. ] When we get our bodies back, one of the first things we should do is have a trip just like this one. [ because... he would have really liked to go swimming. ]

[automailed]

I like that idea better than going to Xing. We can go swimming and never have to cross that desert.

[Though it probably wouldn't be as bad without automail.]

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

I still want to learn about alkahestry, so we'll have to go someday. [ S I G H.

I. CAN'T. FEEL. THE FLOW. ] But that can wait a few years.

[automailed]

Yeah, I'm not in a hurry right now, with so much going on. We don't have enough time between now and the Promised Day to learn a whole new kind of alchemy, unless we find some Xingese books while we're here.
