1 [Accidental Video]

[The feed clicks on to show a girl dressed to the nines sitting on a rock. In the rain. In any other moment, Rachel Berry would appreciate the dramatic nuances of the scene, but for the moment? The girl looks scared, arms wrapped around herself, and she's shivering.]

This isn't funny. Whatever has happened, I'm going to figure it out. You hear me, Vocal Adrenaline?!

[And she's calling into the woods now, because obviously, this is the rival glee club's fault. ~~She's serious.~~]

I'm going to get back to the performance hall and we're going to win, without your cheating! I demand to be returned at once!

[Her bravado is broken by a small sob as Rachel tucks her head into her arms once again, totally ignorant of the PCD recording her.]

Oh, Finn, where are you?

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Rachel blinks at the hand. One of her close friends is in a wheelchair and she's the resident loser of her group. Being weird or unnatural doesn't bother her.]

... if it's a bad idea, then why did you do it? And I have two gay dads. [In an afterthought to Al, almost distractedly.]

[Al's not going to come to Ed's rescue on that one. Go on, Ed, tell her that you didn't want her to get eaten by bunnies. Al carefully sips his tea, eyes wide, intensely interested.

... in his world... that would never happen.]

You... do? And people are okay with that? Nobody gives them a hard time? [It's not said worriedly, but in fascination, almost with... hope, of some sort.]

-=Looks over to Al with a very tender and brotherly look. Al deserved that kind of happiness.=-

-=Then he's back to Rachel.=- Because your damn caterwauling would have brought the bunnies close and like HELL I want to deal with some damn bunnies in this weather!

Only the ignorant idiots who feel the need to complain about the fact that two people who love each other might want to have a beautiful daughter like me around to give them happiness. [Huff. Selfish and self-centered Rachel might be, she has no patience for ignorance.] Of course they have their difficulties. Some people are very closed minded and don't understand the logistics of love, but that doesn't affect me or my dads in the slightest. Let them be ignorant and miserable. It doesn't affect me.

[Breathe, Berry.]

... and for the last time, I wasn't caterwauling!

[But Al's brightened quite a bit, a smile coming to his face. He's still worried, but quite a bit more hopeful, now. Maybe things really will work out in other worlds.]

That's right. That's exactly right.

[Al breathes deeply, but puts a hand over his mouth to stop the chuckling.]

Well, what matters is that you're here now, and you're safe. This is the first time in a long time Ed's brought home a stray. Usually it's me... but you're welcome to stay as long as you want.

[Deal with it, Brother.]

-=Ignores the ranting. He agrees, but like hell he'll voice it. Berry has enough lungs for all of them.=-

...

-=Al.=-

There's a few extra rooms. Mind the cow in the back.

It is right.

[Hmph. And she settles back in her chair to sip at her tea defiantly, but she pauses at the offer of a place to stay.

... wait.]

You have a cow? Well, that's something like home...

[Al reaches out, patting Ed's hand warmly. This will be good for him. He needs an extra dose of crazy now and again.]

Yes. Marge. She's pink, you can't miss her. She was the last stray Ed brought home. [Sputterlaugh.] There's also Kitty, and Den and Taro, the dogs.

-=...WAT...=-

The first one I brought home--wait.. she followed me home! -=Just like this one!=-

[She's not even going to question the pink cow. AND SHE FOLLOWED BECAUSE YOU CAME AND GOT HER, ELRIC. She'll just smile hesitantly because obviously these people are either crazy or this place actually does have pink cows and Rachel has found her way into Neverland. JUST LIKE WENDY.]

I -- don't have pets. My dads are allergic to cats.

Yes, and you kept her! [Because Al gave her that ridiculous name, in part.]

Ah...! That's such a shame. I love cats, but Ed's only ever let me have the one.

[Holds up the white fluffy -- clean -- Kitty from his lap as point. She was totally there the whole time. Sup.]

Only because when I did that steak prank, you almost cried. -=Pfft.=-

-=When the cat is held up, Ed's eyes zero in on the cat. He makes a pretty big show that he hates it. Kind of.=-

You named your cat Kitty?

[... just sayin', be creative.]

That was after we decided to keep her. [That was a MEAN prank, Ed. And Al promptly lets the cat down. She hops right up onto Ed's lap and snuggles down, purring like a motor. She looooves him.]

Well... I spent a long time trying to think of a good name. And in the meantime we just called her Kitty. ... and then she wouldn't answer to anything else.

..... -=You let the fucking cat down. Ed's face immediately goes to >| as the cat settles down on his lap. And he reaches down to pat the kitty. Pat. Pat pat. It seems like an obnoxious petting, but he's really gentle with it.=-

It's the best name Al's ever given an animal. -=Thank the Animus the cat's name is Kitty.=- Or the smartest animal to name herself before Al tried to.

It... seems to like you.

[And the cat seems like it's well behaved. So Rachel is okay with the cat. She may or may not be nervous around the dogs, but she'll suck it up. She's tougher than she looks.]

ooc: Here, Ari! From the soundtrack. ♥ It's one of Edward's songs.

[Oh, the pups will love her.]

I like the names I choose. Nobody else uses them. [Kitty loves eeeeveryone, no matter what.]

-=yeah, Kitty almost kills the fact that Ed's pretty much unlovable. He gathers she doesn't have enough brains to figure out that he's MEAN and INTIMIDATING.=-

She's mentally off.

-=He rolls a shoulder to ease a kink, making a face.=-

Just because a cat likes you doesn't mean it's mentally off. Maybe the cat sees past your various flaws and faults and likes you anyway.

[... like all of her friends slash boyfriend.]

That's what animals do.

... I think it's both, actually. She's a smart girl, though.

[Kitty's smart, but she likes a lot of people she probably shouldn't. Like Sebastian.]

So she's a vapid twit with no common sense in order to preserve her own life?

-=He's starting to look vaguely amused here. He must be warming up!=-

[All cats like Sebastian. Sebastian just attracts cats.]

You'd kill a cat because it sat on your lap? I don't believe you.

He wouldn't kill a cat. I remember when we were little he had a lot of trouble with trapping rabbits.

[Al sips at his tea, chuckling.]

We still ate, didn't we? -=It sounded like a disgruntled mutter, but the expression on his face was almost fond.=-

So you're staying here for a while, right? -=looks back to Rachel, studying her.=-

[Rachel doesn't think she could ever kill a rabbit. Ever. ... Adstring is going to be difficult.]

... I don't really have anywhere else to go.

[Offline] Hellyes.

[Offline] ...Who?

[Offline] Paku Romi = Edward's voice in 1st series/Brotherhood.

[Offline] Japanese voice. :|b

[Offline] .... OOOOOOOOOh. .. Ed doesn't sound like that in my head!

[Offline] I watched before I read, so Paku Romi's voice has always been Ed's for me. 8D

[Offline] Yyyyyyeah. I watched Vic first. /hosed

[Offline] Same here, but even now? Ed doesn't really sound like Vic anymore.

[Offline] I watched FMA before it was dubbed, so I only recently heard Vic. I like him though!

[Offline] Al's voice in my head is hard to describe, but I haven't heard it out loud yet :/

[Offline] Ed's voice is a strange mix of Welsh and Cockney English.

[Offline] It's hard when you play a character for so long. They adopt their own voice. :>
