H-hey guys… I’m real sorry about this, but I can’t be on here for a while. I dunno how long I’ll be gone, but… Forget about me, just not completely, okay? I hope I see you all soon! =’3
December 2011
((Because I’m tired and sick and irritated and damn; This is my way of venting. Enjoy, I guess. I don’t care right now…))
Alia dashed through the dead, moo-lit streets of London. It would’ve been a nice, starry winter night that would result in her laying on a roof until she fell asleep, but…
“O-oh, th-thank you…”
Alia offered a small, shy smile.
“Y-you’re very-very nice, m-miss Winry.”
She released her hand, keeping her eyes closed in a happy manner as the smile grew. “Aww, thank you. You’re very nice as well. Are you from Amestris?”
“H-huh? I-I’ve never-never heard of th-that place b-before… I-I’m sorry.”
Alia drew small circles on the ground with the tip of her shoe nervously. She didn’t know very much, other than the basics and maybe a little more.
“I-I’m A-Alia…”
Alia shakily held out a hand to shake.
“Nice-nice t-to meet y-you…”
“It’s nice to meet you too, Alia,” She bent down slowly to shake the girl’s hand, smiling once they were on eye-level. “That’s a really pretty name.”
“O-oh, th-thank you…”
Alia offered a small, shy smile.
“Y-you’re very-very nice, m-miss Winry.”
“Thank you for the follow! My name is Winry Rockbell, what’s yours?”
“I-I’m A-Alia…”
Alia shakily held out a hand to shake.
“Nice-nice t-to meet y-you…”
((This doesn’t need explaining.))
These past few days have been very lonely for Alia. What made it worse was that she wanted someone beside her, especially now, since she wasn’t in best health. Loneliness turned to sadness, and sadness turned to irritation; And will soon turn to anger if someone didn’t help out soon.
Alia sighed at her thoughts as she perched on a fence, staring up at the sky. She didn’t like being alone…
“W-well, they sa-said you get-get in a l-lot of t-trouble… Y-you have two-two brothers… a-and other-other c-crazy things… I-I think t-they’re l-lying…
“J-just harm-harmless g-gossip. B-bed-time stories for-for the k-kittens!”
Alia looked at her feet to see one of the cats had padded over with a few meows.
“No; I’ve told you this before and I’m not fighting with you again. Go home.”
The cat simply turned it’s head, sitting down stubbornly.
“S-sorry, Alex… he-he’s being p-picky a-again…”
“W-well, they sa-said you get-get in a l-lot of t-trouble… Y-you have two-two brothers… a-and other-other c-crazy things… I-I think t-they’re l-lying th-though…”
Alia rocked on her heels slightly, clasping her hands together behind her back.She felt like she was doing…
“Th-they said you-you were a-a wizard… K-kinda r-ridiculous t-though, h-huh?”
“N-not all the-the time, but mo-most of t-the time… I’m-I’m sorry…”
Raising an eyebrow at the girl, Alex grinned crookedly and took her hand in hers to give it a gentle shake. “Hiya. I’m Alex, who are you? And why do you look so… I’unno, scared?” She paused, then chuckled. “I don’t bite, no matter what you heard about…
“W-well, they sa-said you get-get in a l-lot of t-trouble… Y-you have two-two brothers… a-and other-other c-crazy things… I-I think t-they’re l-lying th-though…”
Alia rocked on her heels slightly, clasping her hands together behind her back.She felt like she was doing something wrong, but didn’t quite know what. Maybe it was just her imagination.
Alia nearly jumped at Alex’s enthusiasm.
“U-uh, hello…”
she timidly held out a hand to shake.
Raising an eyebrow at the girl, Alex grinned crookedly and took her hand in hers to give it a gentle shake. “Hiya. I’m Alex, who are you? And why do you look so… I’unno, scared?” She paused, then chuckled. “I don’t bite, no matter what you heard about me. If you heard anything about me. If you haven’t, then forget what I just said.”
“Ah, I’m s-sorry. I’m-I’m A-Alia.”
Alia looked of to the side, never use to making new friends.
“I-I’ve heard a-a lit-little bit a-about you… b-but the ca-cats don’t t-tell me-me much…”
Alia nearly jumped at Alex’s enthusiasm.
“U-uh, hello…”
she timidly held out a hand to shake.
“Hello,” Edward greeted waving.
“Oh, h-hi…”
Alia cast her gaze toward her feet, rocking on her heels slightly.
“W-what’s your-your name..?”
“H-huh..?
“I-I’ve been p-preparing the-the c-cats for w-winter… I-I haven’t l-left until-until now…”
…Is that so?
Been on your “best behavior”, have you?
“I… I think- I think s-so…”
Alia couldn’t stop herself from beginning to tremble, hiding her face in her hands.
“I-I don’t-don’t know w-what I d-did wrong!”
Alia giggled as the tabby tried to attack it, just barely hooking it’s claws onto the red strand. Her own cats were busy padding around the store and it was brought to her attention one one of them howled happily.
“Don’t you dare!”
She quickly got up and disappeared to a…
“Y-yeah, I got it!”
After a little bit of running, she’d managed to catch the mice the cats had scooped out and put them safely in their caged.
“Next time this happens, I won’t bring you anywhere dry with me again!”
She returned panting once again, then sighed as she sat beside Janice again.
“I got it…”
Alright, forgetting about our characters for a second, I want everyone who’s seeing this to answer please! For Christmas, I want to draw something for everyone (Because I suck at just about everything else), since everyone’s so freaking nice to absolutely everyone!
If you want a picture (you know you do~), send me the request and I’ll do the best I can on it! I’ll submit it to you once it’s done. Tell me how you want it drawn (Be specific if you want a back-round or side details) and I will add it to the picture.
(TIP: The absolute best I can draw is cats, cats with human-like forms and chibis. I can definitely draw other things, but the options above will get done the quickest.)
Let the requests begin~!
After a day of searching the alleys, Alia had managed to scrap together twenty dollars. It wasn’t much, but she had to do something for Christmas. She was new to this and didn’t know many people, but she still wanted to do something for all of them. She’d have to be resourceful; She had everything in her alleys, her knife and the cats were always willing to help.
Alia had a plan; Her gifts wouldn’t be much, but they should be worth something, at least. She took out her knife and flipped it open, inspecting the blade. This would take a lot of time and patients but, if done right, should do the trick.
Time to get to work.
