Mary Thompson had never enjoyed walking though Central City in the dead of night, especially while carrying a sleeping girl on her back. She was supporting the girl with one hand, and carrying her suitcase in the other. The girl, Roberta Sanders, her alchemy pupil and almost daughter, had fallen asleep after putting all her into energy healing injured animals they had encountered while in the forest near Central. The only sound in the dark, empty street was the breathing of Roberta and the quiet noise her coat made as it flapped against the woman’s back. The blonde girl had had a hunch that a homunculus was in Central, and though Mary had told they should wait until morning, the teenager had politely insisted that they should go now while it was quiet. Mary suddenly stopped. What? She thought. The woman heard footsteps and looked around, listening intently. They were coming in her direction. She readied herself for conflict. Crouching near the ground, Mary quietly placed her suitcase down, took out a piece of chalk from the box in her pocket, and quickly drew a Transmutation Circle. She should have put Roberta down, and had it been daylight, she would, but not now, not while it was dangerous. She simply crouched there, listening as the footsteps drew ever closer. I'm waiting...

tap tap tap Fiare rubbed the back of her head and yawned. "That baka Colonel! I'll kill him for making me stay out this late!" She stopped momentarily to mimic him, standing straight and holding her one finger up, "You should be proud to be staying late and serving our great country while I take my skirt-chasing arse and leave you here alone!" She sighed, and kept walking, "He deserves to get hit with something hard... Though I won't do it.... Maybe Ed will?" She looked up in thought... Then shrugged it off, and kept walking... Until she heard something that sounded like a drawing on the ground... Chalk? Is it an alchemist She instinctively grabbed her necklace as she walked closer to the source of the noise(or, at least, where she thought it had come from...) "...Who's there? Who are you?" She called out as she drew closer... Hoping it was a friend...Not a foe... {What do you think? BTW should this take place in the 2003 anime or in the manga?}

After hearing a voice call, “Who’s there? Who are you?” the woman became more on edge, as even though the voice sounded almost harmless, she knew that it could contain hidden malice. The person that was approaching was just around the corner, Mary knew it. Alright Whoever you are, I’m ready! She thought, and moved her hand above the Circle, ready to slam it down. On her back, Roberta twitched and mumbled in her slumber. The person walked around the corner, and Mary moved her hand to strike - then paused. Walking around the corner was a woman, perhaps a few years younger than herself, with dark-blonde hair and light blue eyes. From what the alchemy teacher could see from the girl’s exposed arms, legs and stomach, she did not bear the Ouroboros tattoo clearly on her person, but that did not mean she was not a homunculus, as she could be hiding it. keeping her hand poised about her Transmutation Circle, she asked, “Who are you?”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
((Fiare’s imitation of Mustang was hilarious ^_^. I think it should take place in the manga. As you saw, my OCs cannot really fit into the 2003 anime. I also realised I had forgotten Mary's suitcase in the first post, so I added it in. In addition, I have reanamed the roleplay to something a bit more creative: On The Hunt For A Homuculus))

{ ;D Yay for creativity! Okay so this takes place via that manga huh? Alright then!}Fiare smiled slightly, and said, "I'm Lt. Colonel Fiare Torrent, the Lightning Storm Alchemist. And you?" She took a few steps forward, and cocked her head to the side in slight confusion... Why was this person out so late?{Not very big, but that's all my brain could come up with for now.....}

“Ah, so you’re a State Alchemist? Well then, I guess you don’t mean any harm,” Mary said, then stood up, replaced the chalk in her pocket, wiped away the Circle with her foot and picked up her suitcase. “I’m Mary Thomson, the ‘Aqua Alchemist’, but before you assume it, I am not a State Alchemist, and I don’t have any intention of ever becoming one, ever. That is just a name I call myself." “This…” she pointed to her pupil, “is-” At that moment, as if right on cue, Roberta stirred. “Mm…” the teenager said, and straightened up, stretched and rubbed her eyes. “Hm…? Sensei, what is happening?” the girl asked groggily, blinking the sleep from her eyes. “Oh!” She was instantly awake when she spotted the other woman. “Who is this, Sensei? Is she a acquaintance of yours?” “No, no” the woman replied. “I just met her, her name is Lieutenant Colonel Fiare Torrent, the ‘Lightening Storm Alchemist’.” “A State Alchemist?” The girl leapt off her sensei’s back, her coat billowing as she swung through the air. Once she had landed on the ground, she brushed herself down, straightened her clothing, and neatened her hair and glasses. Taking a step back, the girl, placed her hands one on top of the other, bowed politely and said, “Greetings, Miss Torrent, I am Roberta Sanders, and I am pleased to make your acquaintance.” She unclasped her hands and straightened up. “Though I must say, I fail to understand what it is that gives someone the desire to became a State Alchemist, as then, almost all the of the world would know who you were. You would never get any peace.” “That’s enough, Roberta. Don’t start insulting her status,” Mary said. The blonde looked at her for a few moments, then nodded. Turning back to the other girl, she asked, “Why are you out at such a time as this, Miss Torrent?” “Oh, yes, that’s a good point. Why are you out here? Are you on duty? Roberta and I are searching for-” the woman paused, she could not tell this woman what they were doing, State Alchemist or not. “We are searching for…something. Something private.”

Fiare almost laughed at their seriousness around her, "You can call me Fiare, if you'd like." She smiled at Roberta's directness, "Trust me, becoming a State Alchemist isn't something a lot of people prefer doing. It sort of fell into my lap." She began rubbing the back of her head, then she said, "And to answer your question Miss Thomson, I was working late in the HQ, because my boss is a no good lazy..." Fiare stopped herself and laughed slightly, "Well... Let's just say I was working late..."

Roberta looked slightly offended about her formalness, which triggered Mary’s usual response: She walked forwards a few steps, leaned close to the other woman and quietly said, “She has always talked in a formal manner, Fiare.” The other woman nodded in understanding. “Miss Fiare, if Sensei would accept it, I would be glad if you were to accompany us,” the glasses-wearing teenager said. “An extra companion and presence would be nice.” “It’s ok with me, Roberta,” Mary said, then turned back to Fiare. “I guess a State Alchemist like you would be useful for what we are searching for, since you seem trustworthy.” “If you do not mind me saying, Miss Fiare, if your superior officer is keeping you out this late, then, to me, they do not seem very caring towards their subordinates,” Roberta said with a slight smile and laugh. “Also, I fear I may be asking too much, but…” she paused for a few moments, then continued. “May I please have a look and feel at your State Alchemist watch? Never have I laid eyes upon such an object, and I would really like to see what they look like. Oh, and I apologise if my manner of speech is a little…droning.” She smiled again. “Some people have told me I can drone on a bit.” A noise like heavy feet pounding the pavement suddenly sounded near the group. All stopped their pleasant conversation and listened. Mary quickly drew another Transmutation Circle, Roberta placed two fingers on the Transmutation Circle on her right palm, and Fiare grabbed her watch. The thing stamped down the pavement, stopped just short of the alleyway in which the three females stood, sniffing the air. “Food…” it said, sounding as if it were drooling. “I smell something tasty- No! Tasty things. Tasty human things.” The creature, clearly not human as it called named humans as a separate thing from itself, and it was hungry for human flesh. It walked around the corner…

((Sorry If I controlled Fiare a little, I know you’re not allowed to do that. the flow of this would not go as well if I didn’t.))

Fiare gritted her teeth and held her watch a bit firmly before sliding it into her pocket and reaching for her necklace. She narrowed her eyes a bit too, Gluttony, why did it have to be him?! She took the necklace a little firm and a small bit of lightning struck near Gluttony's head. He whimpered a bit before smiling ass the small wound healed and lunged at all three of them... {It's okay since that was obviously necessary! (At least you didn't make words come out of her mouth...)}

The two women and the girl leapt in opposite directions as Gluttony landed, avoiding becoming a meal by mere inches. “Sensei, this is the Homunculus I felt was here! From it’s mannerisms and appearance, I am completely certain that it is the one called Gluttony!” Roberta cried. “Good, we can take care of it then. With A State Alchemist with us, we should be able to destroy it!” Mary said, managing to dodge Gluttony and return to her Transmutation Circle The young alchemist activated her Transmutation Circle, which glowed with blue alchemic lightening. The girl placed her palm on the ground, cause some of it to raise and form a cannon. Roberta jumped onto the cannon, her legs on either side of it, her hands on top of it. The cannon fired, tearing a clean hole right through Gluttony. Gluttony cried out in pain. Roberta smiled in triumph, but a moment later, she was frowning again. “That won’t finish me!” Gluttony said with a smirk. The gaping hole was filled with regenerated flesh. "Oh, i have forgotten! It can regenerate itself!" Roberta cried, slapping her hand against her face. Mary activated her Transmutation Circle, sending a torrent of water at the Homunculus, which swirled around it, encasing it in miniature whirlpool. After a few dizzying of moments of spinning, the water hurricane died down, causing Gluttony to fall to the ground, where he lay still. The group became still, checking for any signs of life. After a few minutes Roberta began to walk towards the creature. “Wait!” Mary cried. “We don’t know if it’s safe yet!” “I want to have a closer look,” Roberta replied, stopping. “As with the watch of a State Alchemist, I have never closely examined a Homunculus before. I have only seen the Homunculi in the pictures in of the many books I have read.” She gave a smile. “You need not worry, Sensei, I am prepared for conflict.” The girl begin to slowly walk again. Once she had reached it, Roberta crouched over Gluttony. Mary and Fiare remained tense as she examined the creature. After about ten minutes of intense examination, Roberta stood up, and turned to the two woman her hands held one on top of the other in front of her again. “I have finished my examination,” she said. “This Homunculus bears the Ouroboros upon it’s tongue, therefore it can be easily hidden. Furthermore…” The girl talking and talked, going into great detail about what she had discovered. She was so focused on revealing her analysis - that she do not notice Gluttony opening his eyes and looking ay the girl, a hungry smile back on his face. Luckily, Mary and Faire did. “Roberta!” Mary said trying to alert the girl. “…The dark clothing it wears conveys that…” “Roberta! Look out!” Mary shouted, unable to move away from her only current way of attacking. Roberta stopped her speech. “What is it you are both looking so worried abou-” She froze, finally reslising what the State Alchemist and her alchemy teacher were trying to tell her. She felt the breathing down her neck for a second before she spun around. “Fooled you, didn’t I?” Gluttony said in a triumphant tone. Roberta reached for her Transmutation Circle but the Homunculus was too fast, and he grabbed the teenager around her neck, squeezed and lifted her into the air until her legs kicked uselessly and her eyes were screwed shut. Breathing was becoming harder and harder as Gluttony tightened his grip, while Mary and Fiare watched in terror. They knew they had to do something. “You will be a starter,” Gluttony said, opening his mouth.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ((You can control my characters a little if you like. Also the reason I picked Gluttony as because I wanted to be different. Most people would pick Envy. Also, again unlike most, I don’t try to make my OCs the heroes all the time. I put them in danger or requiring help sometimes.))

{That's a good quality in characters and I respect that. Also, Gluttony is one of the most fun characters to start with...} Fiare shot forward, only to be pushed away by Gluttony's meaty hand as he still reached for Roberta with his mouth... ... Suddenly, a slab of stone burst from the ground and hit Gluttony on the back of his head... The homunculus forgot his meal for a minute to look around. Fiare looked too, along with Mary, and Roberta (who had taken the chance to free herself and get away from the hungry homunculus.) "Dammit Al, I missed his arms! I meant to cut those off," Fiare grinned at the sound of her favorite short alchemist... {I just kind of took control of Ed, hope you don't mind!}

“Don’t get too angry, Nii-san,” another voice said. This one seemed much younger than the first, and it was hollow and echoing slightly. The females watched as a teenager with light-golden-blonde and eyes of golden, closely followed by a suit of armour (which dwarfed him) arrived at the scene. They were, of course, none other than the Elric Brothers, sixteen-year-old Edward and one-year-younger Alphonse. Edward Elric was wearing his usual outfit: A black, sleeveless top and trousers, with a black jacket that had a white trim, with a thick silver clasp under the high collar. On his feet he wore black shoes with red shoes, and over the whole outfit, a red, hooded coat that reached his calves and processed had a slit in the middle. Edward, noticing Fiare, called “Hey, Fiare, stay back! We can take it from here!” “No, Nii-san!” Alphonse cried. “Fiare should help us. And the other woman and girl too.” “I don’t need help!” Edward snapped back as the two of them dodged another lunge by Gluttony. “Well I still think they should.” the armour boy turned to the group of woman. “Assist us in anyway you can, Fiare. You to, Miss and Ma’am!” Roberta and Mary were slightly taken aback at the polite address, but surrounded the Homunculus along with Edward, Alphonsa and Fiare. The brothers raised their hands to clap them, Fiare took a hold of her necklace, Roberta placed her fingers on her Transmutation Circle, and Mary drew another Transmutation Circle, crouching over it. “Five against one?” Gluttony said. “Not fair! You’re all alchemists! But…that means all the more food for me!”

Fiare laughed slightly at Gluttony, "You really think so fatso?" she zapped him again (just for fun), "Come on, let's blast him shorty!" Ed growled, "Don't call me short!" He clapped his hands on the ground and spikes shot toward Gluttony. He dodged and the spike almost hit Fiare and Roberta... Fiare yelped and pushed them both out of the way. "Watch it short stuff!" Fiare yelled. Ed yelled at her again (much of it not heard... something like 'Who're you calling a half-pint little short-stack smaller than an ant.')...{Calling Ed short is like a life-style for me! }

“I have an idea!” Mary cried. “Roberta, Fiare, armour boy, short boy, come here!” “WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT HE COULD DROWN IN A MOLUCLE OF WATER?!” Edward screamed. "I've grown, you know, I'm now taller than my childhood friend!" "Well I don't know your childhood friend, do I?!" Mary hollowered back. "I am usually a nice woman, but I hate people who act like brats, so if you don't stop ranting and get over here, I'll drown you!" "Oh yeah!" the Fullmetal Alchemist spat. "Bring it on!" "Sensei, please clam down. I do not like it at all when you are enraged," Roberta nervously said. “Nii-san!” the younger Elric cried, grabbing his brother and dragging him over to the woman, though keeping a hold of him in case he decided to attack her. The alchemy teacher had simply called him short as she had heard Fiare do it. They all huddled together, and, after returning to her usual pleasent self, the part-Ishvalan quickly told all of them her plan. Edward, Fiare and Roberta were sceptical. After some persuading from Alphonse, however, they were more willing to give it a try. Mary raced over to her Transmutation Circle while the other four told up their own positions. The alchemy teacher activated her Transmutation Circle, sending another surge of water at an again-attacking Gluttony, changing again into a whirlpool which surrounded the Homunculus. Roberta, Edward and Alphonse now played their part in the plan. The brothers again clapped their hands and pressed them to the ground, while Roberta activated her Transmutation Circle and transferred the energy to the ground. Three sets of spikes rose from the ground and entered the whirlpool, swirling around until they impaled the homunculus many times. Gluttony cried out. Fiare completed the assault by creating a large volume of lightening which also entered the whirlpool. At once, the water hurricane transformed into a swirling inferno, and the group had to shield their eyes. Gluttony screamed. All six alchemists all knew that when water mixed with electricity, fire was produced. After a good ten minutes of spinning and screaming, the inferno died out, and Gluttony fell to the ground once again. He struggled to get up. The six humans surrounded him. “Had enough?” Edward asked. Gluttony stared at them for a few moments before letting out a cry and leaping into the air. Everyone prepared for impact - but gluttony was not heading for them. He was heading for the nearest roof. He was gone before anyone could do anything. “Damn it!” Edward cried. “Never would I think something so corpulent could move so fast,” Roberta said. “And I do not get a chance to eliminate him…” Mary located and picked up her suitcase once again, dusting it down. She supposed she would check it's contents when she and her student checked into a hotel for the night. “Fiare, we’re going to after him,” the older Elric informed his fellow State Alchemist. Without waiting for a reply, the two brothers went to leave. “Oh! Please, wait!” Roberta cried, running up to the boys. “What is it?” Alphonse kindly asked. Roberta reminded silent, fidgeting and looking at the ground. She grabbed a part of her coat in her fingers as if it were a dress and gracefully curtseyed. The Elrics, along with Mary and Fiare, looked confused. Then, all of a sudden, Roberta grabbed Alphonse’s metal and leather hand in both her own, shaking it profusely and quickly, an uncharacteristic excitement in her eyes. “I feel so humoured to be meeting you both, after reading so much about you,” Roberta said quickly, though still in her usual formal manner. She let Alphonse’s hand go, grabbed Edward’s hand and shook it in the same, excited way. “The Elric Brothers...the only known survivors of a Human Transmutation, and the elder brother becoming a State Alchemist at just twelve….simply amazing!” she said.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ((Yes, it never gets old! Though this is set after Edward turns sixteen in the Manga, when he becomes taller than Winry.))

{Though, that doesn't mean that Fiare won't call him short though!} Fiare held her breath for a minute. Ed got a slightly blank look on his face and Alphonse stiffened(?). Fiare laughed a bit, "Yeah they sure are something! Right guys?" Ed snapped out of it momentarily and laughed a bit too, "Yeah, we sure are, huh Al?" Al nodded. "Well.... We should go after Gluttony, come on Al!" Ed ran in the direction Gluttony went, Al following, saying: "Wait for me Nii-san!" Fiare smiled and turned to Roberta, "Umm... I know you're kind of curious about them but it is sort of rude to say that sort of thing..." Fiare shook her head slightly... {...I feel my posts are short in comparison to yours.... hmm...}

“Oh…” said Roberta said, directing her gaze at the ground and scarping her foot in an embarrassed manner. “Yes, now that I think about it, I was a little - no, very - rude. I am very sorry. Next time I meet them I will apologise.” “I’m glad you realise that Roberta. I almost cringed,” Mary added, then tried to stifle a yawn. “Are you tired, Sensei?” the blonde asked. “Yes. I think I need to turn in for the night.” The woman walked to the entrance of the ally. “Come along, now, Roberta.” “But, I do not want to retire just yet. I would like to explore a little more and see if I can discover anything else,” the girl said. “Well, I’m not going to leave you on your own out here.” “But–!” “I understand you know this place well, but that does not mean you’re less likely to get attacked. Look what just happened! If I and this woman were not there, you would be in that Homunculus’s stomach!” “I am not alone, though.” Roberta walked over to the other blonde and reached up to place her hand on her shoulder. She had to go on slightly her tiptoes to reach. “I have Miss Fiare to assist me.” Mary could not argue with that, having seen what the other woman was capable of. After a good long think, she can to a decision. “Fine…you can stay out here, as along as you stick with Fiare. I will be at Central Hotel, the one near the centre of this city.” “I understand, Sensei. I have committed it to memory,” Roberta said. “Good.” With that Mary was off. As soon as she was out of sight and earshot, the young alchemist sighed. “Sensei can be so over-protective.” Faire laughed and the two set off. As they walked along a moonlit pavement, Roberta said, “I really hope we find something interesting. You know, Miss Fiare, I was born in this city. Where were you born? Also, I hate to repeat the question, but may I see your watch?"
