TEST DRIVE MEME

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION, HOW FUN
> The most horribly kitschy Arts and Crafts Fair you can imagine.
> NEW YEARS. What better way to start out the new year than to learn that everything you know is a lie? Or if you are already acquainted with the network pass out some resolutions.
> A food fight has just broken out in the cafeteria. Join? Flee? The choice is yours alone.
> Wild Card! Make up your own.

[A nod. Damn straight it was! But he knew, in his belly, that Winry wouldn't get in trouble as much if not for him.

So time to correct the wrong]

I got an idea.

[A familiar and dreaded combo of words. He gestured to her blueprints, making a rolling up motion with his hands. After all, she'd be pretty mad if her stuff got messed up]

1/2

[endthiscycle]

[....uh. Winry loved her brother but.]

[endthiscycle]

What exactly is this idea?

[mysteltinn]

Just watch, and be ready

[No way he'd tell you Win, that'll ruin the performance! He stared digging in his hoodie pocket the doing... something... under his desk where the teacher can't see. Or Winry either]

[endthiscycle]

[...Winry puts her schematics away. She's not sure what Owen has in mind but it's not going to be good and she's going to heed his warning.]

[mysteltinn]

[Owen continues working for a few more minutes, glancing up at the teacher very few seconds. Before suddenly shooting up with a shriek of very believable pain. Owen has always been a good actor, but as he holds his hand in front of him the blood streaming down seems pretty realistic.

Well, unless you're used to him tossing around fake blood in drama club. And home. And anywhere he thinks it'll be dramatic. It seems he has rigged it to look like he somehow stabbed himself with a pencil.

The teacher nearly jumps out of his seat, and as he turns to see what the howling is about Own flings his hand about in 'panic', splatting the poor man, and quite a few things around him, with the 'blood'. And said teacher goes dead pale. Someone can't handle blood well, it seems]

SHITSHITSHIT!!!

[endthiscycle]

[Winry was used to Owen's dramatics, but even she actually jumped at this. If not for the fifteen years she had known her twin she would have been just as shocked. Yet she caught on and took ahold of him, giving the teacher a frightful look.]

I'll take him to the nurse's office! Come on, Owen, don't make a scene.

[mysteltinn]

NOOOO, MY SWORD HAND! WHY GODS WHY DO YOU TEST ME SO!?

[He waves his hand at the teacher for extra affect, and the poor man literally rushes them outside the room.

Once they are a bit away (and Owen has given his throat enough of a workout with more outcries to the heavens) he starts giggling, almost smearing the 'blood' on himself when he tries to muffle it]

[endthiscycle]

[Ok. That was absolutely ridiculous, but once they were out of earshot Winry was laughing too. That had gone so much better than she had been expecting, and while she knew she shouldn't be encouraging this kinda behavior he had done it for her]

And so you'll overcome your greatest trial--learning to wield swords with both hands.

[She gave him a playful little shove]

Thanks, Owen.

[mysteltinn]

I am a man built for trails. One hand is but a minor sacrifice to save a brave warrior maid.

[His 'character' cracks and he smiles softly]

Don't worry about it. S'my fault you got it trouble, so I fixed it.

[endthiscycle]

[She slung an arm around him]

C'mon. Lets get you to the "nurse's" office before we get found out. [Anywhere but there or here. Just where they can chill till the next period begins. Or hell]

Better yet, lets just play hooky.

[mysteltinn]

[he looks surprised, then a wicked smile curls his lips]

Winifred, I'm shocked!

[endthiscycle]

[Winry's expression soured immediately. God, she hated her name.]

Use that name again and I'll toss you back to the teacher.

[mysteltinn]

Awww, come on, don't be like that.

[He pulls away, spinning around in front of her and walking backwards so to still face her]

Let's go to the park or something. They look out for truants at the mall and all that, after all.
