Colonel, a man named Sorrow requests an interview for the Police Force. He aided in the sealing of the Sidhe, and is, according to himself, a ghost. I informed him I would pass along his interest.

Der Tod has also departed the City; Justin, I assume we can close that case.

Edward's promised to let us know before he disappears underground; if precedent sets any example, they may need assistance before their venture ends.

I suppose it's a mark of how long I've been here that my reaction to yesterday was what it was; although I suspect it also helps that I wasn't cursed. Steam-powered everything would be entirely impractical.

...The mountain is new, though. I wonder if it will stay past midnight.

I need the services of a veterinarian or a doctor who's willing to examine a dog.

...It'd been a while since I'd been able to headed out to the shooting range. I needed the practice, these past few weeks.

It seems I've been rather fortunate with the curses of late; I wonder how long that's going to last.

Ngh- I don't need these reminders. I know what I did and I know what I've seen and I know what I must do.


They are only bad dreams. Lucky us, that it goes for two nights instead of one.

Those of you on patrol duty, keep alert, a Miss Vivio was recently attacked by a black form with glowing eyes; it's the best description she could give.

[ooc; So Hawkeye didn't sleep well/much Sunday night, and attempted sleep on Monday night but after waking up twice after increasingly bad nightmares she just gave up on that idea. She's pretty tired; she's done this "stay up all night and all day again" thing before, but this is an extra day tacked on to that, so she's kinda out of it, and it kiiinda shows. Strikes hackable with difficulty. Tags may be sporadic, I'll do my best ._.;]

As of three days ago, my notes span two years of City time. I've been here more on the order of a year and seven months, with all the times I've been home, but there you go. There've been quite a few changes; sometimes it seems completely different from the way it was when I got here.


I forgot how tiring-

This is a revolver. This is not.

This is a pistol. This is not.


If my guns don't turn back into their proper colors and aren't loaded with bullets instead of water by midnight I am going to be very unhappy about it.

Not one word, Colonel.

Why am I not in the least bit surprised that we'd see this curse again.



[ooc; go guys go! no discussing major spoilers in public plz, otherwise have at~ I might be in an out today so things might get sporadic, just fyi.]

Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye.

It's my pleasure to rejoin your number.

[end filter]

( [private to Winry] )

There's so much to do.

Right. Now that everyone's done being captured in small balls and falling over inexplicably. The City's taste in curses certainly hasn't changed in four months.

Those of you I worried with my arrival- I'm perfectly fine.

[ooc; re: the PF thing, I don't think I've stepped on any toes? She went in for an "interview" yesterday with Colonel Mustang, which mostly consisted of her yelling at him for slacking off on his paperwork. Feel free to comment on that if you'd like. Throw a rock at me if there's a problem!]

[There's a deep sigh of relief and exhaustion- not loud, merely prolonged, with a slight catch of pain, as the display turns on.

She's on her feet, but obviously overexerted; weariness shows in every line of her body. Not to mention that her left shoulder is still bleeding, blood seeping further into her jacket. Her right hand still holds a pistol, her hand clenched around it far tighter than necessary.

She seems to be staring at the scene ahead of her nearly blankly, through either disbelief or exhaustion, before closing her eyes wearily.]

...I don't believe this.

[Opening them after only a brief moment, she spots the device placed on the fountain's edge and cuts the video, leaving the audio running, and her voice picks up slightly more of its crisp habitual tone.]

Riza Hawkeye, reporting. ...Back, it must be.

The labels ought to tip you off, if the "City-given" part doesn't. Assuming, of course, you have the choice. But I suppose some people are overly curious.

Was that entirely necessary?



Colonel; a word.

I'm glad that's over with. That was uncomfortable. As much as I appreciate what luck I had, I prefer my own clothes.

We have two problems, of varying degrees of severity.

One: the reported missing persons have all been recovered, with one exception. It's more than likely that this exception is unrelated, considering how unanimously the others were released. Mohinder Suresh has been issuing apologies to those released, which ...are being accepted with varying levels of grace. Most of them seem to be unharmed, although some of them seem to have some level of amnesia. ...Those from his world are already getting defensive.


Two: We've someone claiming to be punishing the guilty, and would appear to have already attacked at least two people, Anita Blake, Marishka and Lestat.


Major General, hurr-

I'm sorry to report that while the other missing persons were recovered last evening, I've no indication of what happened to your butler.

Dr. Mohinder Suresh, a word or three, if you don't mind.

To anyone who has mentioned a missing person on the Network; I apologize for the intrusion, but if you wouldn't mind updating a member of the force or myself on whether or not that person has been found.


EDIT: If they have not been found, I have a request.


[ooc; hokay, so I know some of those 'reported missing' people aren't part of the Mohinder plot, but she (and I) basically went through network posts looking for anyone asking about someone. Just to make her life even more fun, she's been hit with mild forgetfulness thx to her 'not doing the drinking tribute'. Oops.]

My father studied alchemy, and when I was young, he frightened me.

He would often close himself in his study, and to me he looked like a man possessed, absorbed in his research. I was never very close to him; I simply never seemed to enter his mind except in passing. But at the time I believed what he told me about his alchemy- that because of its great power, it would bring great happiness to the people, and that all alchemy was for the good of the people. Or I did, until the atrocities of Ishbal.

He never liked the military. He thought becoming a dog of the military was degrading, and refused to have anything to do with it.

He died unexpectedly. It must have been something wrong with his organs, in hindsight-- I remember there was a lot of blood. I don't know precisely what happened, but I heard a noise - because the Colonel had yelled - and came to see what was going on. He might have been already dead by the time I got there.

He left his secrets with me, heavily coded. And I had them destroyed by the same person I gave them to.


I don't miss him. I don't think about him. That part of my life is over.


[ooc; Strikes are gone. She's cursed enough to teal dear, not cursed enough to spill absolutely everything~]

After the New Year, the North and East will make their move. And we have. It's bizarre, going back in time like this.

Welcome back to the City, here's a curse and a fight on your doorstep. Lovely.

It's been a while; I hope everyone is doing alright.

I apologize for not making contact sooner. Edward and Winry, my very belated welcomes to the City.

A word, if you please.


[ooc; If you speak to Hawkeye on pleasant terms rather frequently, she would have sent out very non-denominational "Season's Greetings" cards upon her return, so they may have arrived slightly delayed.
( note re: Hawkeye's update :x] )

...This isn't at all like it should be. I can't find my house here.


Even the military authorities... Not that...I should really be needing to go there... Aren't...the same.




...Is this even Amestris?

[ooc; say hello to post-father-funeral Riza~ She'll be returning home for a very brief canon update at the end of the curse, so I'll assume all replies are before midnight .___.;;]
