Who: Haru Glory, and you!
What: A mallynap victim returns.
When: Afternoon of the 24th!
Where: Anywhere within the village.
Summary: Haru returns from his mallynap, and comes back not quite himself.
Rating: PG-13. Also possibly higher depending on the level of violence.
[The clouds seemed to gather together above the plaza, casting a large shadow over the village during what was previously a sunny day.

Emerging from the forest and heading into the village--well, more like staggering in, really--is a figure. Silver haired with a lean build, those that know him may recognize him as Haru Glory, but something seems different. Perhaps it's that strange, almost demonic-looking object wrapped around his arm, attached to a blood-red and black sword? Couldn't be...]

((ooc: There'll be a couple subthreads below, so if you volunteered for this, comment to the appropriate thread! The final battle will be between Haru and Ed Elric, who'll deliver the finishing blow. Comments will be coming from

[Shit, there goes the tree. It was worth it, though, because even a few seconds to work through a plan is useful to him. He jumps up instead of down as the tree falls, ducking and climbing into the branches. With another clap of hands and a flash of light, the wood suddenly shoots out of the trunk towards Haru, intent on shoving him back or at least causing some damage to the sword-arm.]

[The shot from the tree completely blindsides him, launching him away from Ed. The attack unfortunately doesn't hit the arm, but it's at least successful in putting some distance between them.]

[Not what he wanted, but better than nothing. Edward doesn't dwell on it, or give his opponent time to recover- he's moving again immediately, dropping out of the branches and clapping his hands again as he falls. His feet hit the ground, and he immediately ducks into a crouch, slapping both palms into the dirt. Another series of slanted pillars thrust forward, headed right for Haru, and Ed's still on the move, clapping and smacking his hands against any solid-looking object surrounding them: trees, rocks, more ground, letting the scenery do the attacking for him. Between the sword and Haru's speed, his best bet is to either immobilize him or get him stunned long enough to get a few hits in.]

[Haru regains his ground, and when the pillars come out, he once again hops on them and sends himself airborne. He hops from tree branch to pillar to tree branch, evading the attacks, and then once there's an opening, he comes down from the sky with a downward slash. If Ed can dodge the attack, he might get the chance to land some blows as he recovers from the landing.]

[Damn, he's more agile than Edward wanted him to be. It's not entirely unexpected, but he's still irritably disappointed that his attacks aren't more effective. The sudden attack catches him off guard, but he doesn't let it stop him; a quick dodge to the side allows him to avoid being slashed in two, though the blade manages to catch his foot. Thankfully it's the automail leg, so instead of getting himself crippled, he merely loses the movement ability of his toes, and a good boot. He kicks off the ground with his other foot, using the momentum to spring back towards Haru, already twisting into a roundhouse.

How would you like an automail foot to the face?]

[C-C-CRITICAL HIT! He goes reeling back from the hit, bouncing off the ground a couple times before colliding with a nearby tree.]

[Score. Edward's on him in a second, clapping once more and slamming his hands on the tree at his back, warping its trunk and roots. The wood twists and bends to half-swallow Haru, roots winding around and around the sword arm to hopefully stop him from lifting it again.

Edward straightens up once the transmutation is done, gripping the other boy's shirt, lips curled into a snarl.]

Ready to give up!?

[The combination of blows along with the impact with the tree served to be enough to knock him unconscious. If any part of the blade was still visible from the tree, Ed may notice its shape and color have changed, its blade becoming silver-white and losing its slender shape.

As for Haru, he's unconscious, his eyes are closed, but the shadow that seemed to be obscuring his expression's vanished.]

[...Huh.

Well, good, that's one thing settled. Edward backs off, giving the guy another once-over to make sure he's secure and won't be able to escape when he wakes up. When he's satisfied with that, he heads off to call for some help and check on the injured.

He'll definitely have to look into this later, though.]
