Al, I'm going to be staying at Celestial Being until things die down here. We have to keep everyone safe, stay inside - I'm fine, keep Wrath and Winry safe while I'm gone. People are getting killed, so don't leave the house.

I'm not going to let it happen, not again. I have to keep everyone safe. If they're all separate they can't hurt each other, I'll keep everyone away from each other until this whole mess is over. Everything will be fine. Then I can worry about everything else.

I don't know why I didn't think of this before.


[ooc: Ed's staying at CB for the night. He's transmuted the building so that the only way out is to create holes, and if anyone does he'll be there shortly to fix them again, because Alle said no one should get in or out. If you're not familiar with FMA - Ed created an entire inn from scratch, building barriers, walls, etc. around CB's building will not be hard. Considering I don't think he's too close to anyone actually in CB, he's helping Alle right now, but if Lockon or Soma went against Alle's wishes he would be inclined to at least consider their side of the situation. When he goes home tomorrow, he'll be transmuting their house into lock down mode, as well. By then, he won't be keeping an eye on CB anymore, so everyone else can go back to normal. Starting tomorrow he'll try fixing things at the shop and get very protective of Al, and probably Wrath. The real batshit will come on Tuesday or Wednesday.]

What happened to the windows and doors!?

[alchemyxfreak]

They'll be back as soon as everyone calms down.

[indefective.livejournal.com]

... you ... sealed the entire house?

[alchemyxfreak]

No one else will be killed if we keep everyone separated.

[indefective.livejournal.com]

Separated into windowless rooms?!

You're not making a shelter, you're making a prison.

[alchemyxfreak]

No, no. Everyone's going crazy, it's safer to wait it out. When this is over, everything will go back to normal.

It's not a prison, we're trying to protect you.

[indefective.livejournal.com]

...you're right on one count.

Ed, I'm trying to meet Mao outside. He's very worried about me, and I'll be safer with him.

Private//Unhackable

[alchemyxfreak]

You can't, you can't leave... Not yet. I promised. Alle said to keep you safe, everyone...

How do I know you'll be safer with him?

Private//Unhackable

[indefective.livejournal.com]

I'll be fine. If I go, then I can help catch the scientist who kidnapped everyone, and it will be one less person for you to worry about being safe in this house.

Mao loves me. He's more than willing to kill to protect me.

... and someone's already died in this house.

Private//Unhackable

[alchemyxfreak]

No, you can't go after him. No one's right anymore, he could catch you too. He could catch Mao, then you'd both be unsafe.

That's why everyone is being kept in separate rooms. Then, no one can hurt each other. No one will die. I'll make sure of it. No one can kill you if they can't reach you. It's dangerous out there, and it's dark out.

Wait until morning. If he can protect you, you'll be safer during the day. Stay here for now. Please, I promised. I can't ... Can't risk something happening to you, stay inside. Just for now. I made a promise, you have to stay here.

Private//Unhackable

[indefective.livejournal.com]

No. You're right. That was a stupid suggestion. I'll stay here tonight, okay? Just for tonight.

Private//Unhackable

[alchemyxfreak]

Tonight.

Tomorrow could be different, this might all be over by then. Just stay tonight.



Thank you.

All right.


It's impossible to argue with any of y

You don't need to thank me.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Hey now... what's going on at the house? All my stuff is in there... and I could use a new shirt.

[alchemyxfreak]

Anyone that wants to get in needs permission from Alle. You should have been in here already, if you're supposed to be here.

I'm not letting anyone in unless he says it's all right.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

...Can you at least send out a shirt or something then? It's still early enough in the year that the nights are pretty cool.

[alchemyxfreak]

I'll meet you by the front door.

[shooting-blanc.livejournal.com]

Ahh, thanks. I'll send a message to Ozma to get together what I need.

[snackoo-katonk.livejournal.com]

That was unnecessary.

[alchemyxfreak]

Keeping everyone safe is unnecessary?

[snackoo-katonk.livejournal.com]

If they haven't requested your protection, yes.

[alchemyxfreak]

They don't know what it's like. Those people can't control themselves, Alle's right. Everyone. Everyone needs to stay inside. Safe.

It doesn't matter if they asked, they don't know any better, they don't understand...

[snackoo-katonk.livejournal.com]

That isn't for you to decide. Don't be an idiot.

[alchemyxfreak]

Don't call me an idiot.

[snackoo-katonk.livejournal.com]

Don't act like one, then.

[alchemyxfreak]

What do you know?

[snackoo-katonk.livejournal.com]

I know that while it's a sweet idea in practice to try to protect others, doing so without they consent is never a good idea.
