What: Beach party + Camping/Sailing for the teens

Summary: An outing to the beach!

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.

And maybe a nice big boat to sail in.

[His is nearly completion, after all.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh - you're making one right? A lot of people seem to be doing that. Maybe someone should make a dock.

[markofthewise]

I was going to get Toph to do that, maybe. She's got... well, she can pretty much stomp her foot and bam, instant dock.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh - Earthbender, right? That's impressive!

[markofthewise]

Exactly!

[Hmmm... although they're out there now and he considers...]

Unless Ed could do it. Isn't alchemy able to do pretty much anything?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I remember that they have to follow laws of equivalent exchange... and his range of how much energy he can use to convert things has been limited in Luceti I think.

[markofthewise]

Really? I always thought it was more impressive than that.

[It sounds kind of... limited in comparison.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It's not all powerful. It can do a lot of things if someone has the knowledge, but... there are definitely some things it cannot do.

[markofthewise]

Knowledge and ability.

[He feels the need to clarify that. It's not like it's a power tool anyone can pick up.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

When you say it like that it sound like you have to be born an alchemist. It's not like that at all.

[markofthewise]

It's... what, really? [He blinks, surprised at this revelation.] So you could be an alchemist if you wanted?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if I wanted, but I don't. Sure some people have more talent at it than others, but it's like being better at math or sports.

[markofthewise]

... I'm good at math. [... and decent at sports.]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

If you want to know the specifics you'd have to ask Ed or Al, but there's a lot of scientific knowledge involved that I don't care to remember when they talk about it.

[markofthewise]

Al... yeah, about him. Why does he never take that armor off? I mean... it's a beach. You'd think he'd get hot.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's uh - a part of his training, I think. He's not allowed to take it off.

[markofthewise]

Wow. That's some really rough training. I'm not even sure how he manages that. It's not like he was that tall before...

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Ah, haven't I told you? This is a different Al.

[markofthewise]

Different... oh! So that makes him your Al, right?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It's good to see him after so long.

[markofthewise]

I'll have to introduce him to Ed.... our Ed. I mean, the Ed we work with. He'd love the armor.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

"Our" Ed? Just check with Al first, it might be a touchy subject with him.

[markofthewise]

[They know too many Eds, okay.]

Fine, fine. I'll talk to him about it.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Be nice about it too. Al's a good boy.

[markofthewise]

Hey, I'm nice. You don't need to say that.
