((Sorry, sorry, sorry! D8 I keep falling behind!))

[Treno Council Building]

Yuna walked inside as the attendant allowed her and Rikku safe entry. She looked around the room at the many rich and powerful men and women who ran the city and made decisions.

“Lords and ladies of Treno, I thank you for meeting with me.” Yuna gave a polite bow and then looked back up at them. She was High Summoner, often met with the leaders of the Spiral Cluster and was nobility herself – she knew how to properly behave in these situations unlike most of GS characters in RPs.

“I am but a foreigner and traveler, but I cannot bear to see the strain of this war. I see your city besieged and the threat of carnage outside your door and I feel I must offer my aid.”

She looked up at the council and continued her brash, brave and rather unexpected speech. It was not her place, but she proceeded as if it was.

“I humbly ask you… is there no way of defusing the situation at hand? If I can help in any way to avert this conflict, I offer my services.”

[Amestris Wilderness]

“Amazing!” Garnet said, as she watched Garet recall his summon. Although she was a summoner, she knew very little of actual interaction with summons – she had only ever summoned one and that was by accident.

Presumably, the group soon arrived at a small town and could boarded a train.

[Outside Lab 5]

Ed gasped as Lust started reforming and he had to jump back, narrowly avoiding her attack. He sword loudly, wondering how he’d gotten stuck in such a bad situation.

He brought the palms of his hands together and slammed them against the ground, sending a gigantic spike of stone shooting at Lust!

[…]

Bradley looked around and frowned. This situation was becoming far too unpredictable… and there were too many secrets. Mustang and the Elrics were too important to kill, but they would have to be taken into custody.

The rest…


“He's not human!” Sheba yelled, pointing her staff at Bradley, “What are these things?”


Bradley looked over at the blonde and he smiled. “My, my, my… and just what are you?”

He shot at her, moving insanely fast, and tried stabbing her in the neck!

Treno

Some of the nobles muttered. Rikku just watched, admiring her cousin's knack for these fancy meetings or whatever.

One slowly rose to speak.

(It's deadly decadent court time! XD)

"You are a most interesting young lady..." he said. "...and we would be interested in your help. But would need to know, first, who our benefactor is, what exactly she can do-and what she would want in return."

Another spoke.

"Your gesture is most kind...too kind. And frankly, I fail to see how you CAN help. I don't know what that bird-thing you...summoned...from earlier is, but I would guess you are from the Spiran Cluster, by your dress and the fact that only they are known to employ summoners. Your arrival is MOST timely...it seems that it may be more than mere coincidence. What, exactly, is the Cluster even interested in, anyway? How is it you arrived just NOW, of all times?"

"One of the last things we need is another enemy, sir." a third rose-a lady this time. "Especially in these times. Frankly, I would welcome the aid, but I wonder what good it would be. The Galdwinians will not back down, even if they withdrew, then they would only come later with more forces...and the Alexandrians would view any resistance to them as an act of war...could this girl possibly be enough to fight either? I think not. I say we send her away before she causes more trouble. Didn't you all see? She threatened both Admiral Belleza AND that Paladin. She could bring the wrath of both on us. I do not question her heart, but her wisdom, on the other hand..."

"And what would YOU propose we do, then? Submit?!"

A FOURTH person had stood up.

Indeed, it seemed that they were not even paying attention to Yuna anymore, and were simply arguing amongst themselves now...

"The problem is that the fighting will occur here. Treno has no desire to get invovlved in this conflict! If she could convince the Galdwinians to bypass Treno, or the Alexandrians to leave it, then we would be safe!" the fourth one said.

A FIFTH person arose to debate that point, and again, it seemed that none of them were paying attention to Yuna any longer, and indeed, soon the entire council was broken up into small arguements that were indiscernable from Yuna's position.

There was some muttering of Yuna not being able to get to the local Alexandrian embassy where Belleza was holed up anyway, and still more talk of the potential, even, of her slipping aboard the Galdwinian airfleet and causing chaos, forcing it to withdraw, comments all around about how each person thought the other from that one family was stupid and thus living up to their family name, and there MAY have even been a challenge to a duel or two thrown about.

Rikku stood there, blinking.

"Hey Yunie..." she whispered. "...I get the feeling these people aren't so bright..." she said.

"...um, are all courts and stuff like this? And, uh, do you wanna find these leaders-I think there was that admiral lady and they're talking about whoever's leading the Galdwin guys...and do you want to get them to see if they'll back down or something, or leave Alexandria...or, um, do you think it's actually worth it to talk to these people?" she asked.

(Is that enough of a quest hook, or should I be more specific? XD)

Train to Ankh-Morpork

(Is this where the group is?)

Soon enough, Garnet and co. had arrived at the town that Cess and co. had left, and had restocked (to what degree they could), and booked tickets to Ankh-Morpork.

Carbuncle had been recalled or hidden, I'd guess, and Boco, um...maybe was sent away or told to follow the train.

On the train, Didymus and Steiner continued to hover around Garnet. Didymus stopped at a booth.

"An empty booth? Well, guess this looks good."

There were seven of them (at least), so one booth probably wouldn't hold them.

Didymus and Steiner both stood there, waiting for Garnet to take her seat.

"If you don't mind, lady, I'd like to remain in the same booth as you...I'm sure you understand. Again, the last time you were out of arm's reach of me...well, you remember."

He SO wanted to sit next to her. But he was considering that on a number of levels. Was it right? Was it necessary to maximize her safety? His thoughts even wandered to conversations he wanted to have with her...they still hadn't explored what Lust had said...oh dear.

He may have looked strange in thought as he was.

He slowly spoke, deciding it would be for the best, but it still came out hesitantly.

"Lady...may I humbly ask for the seat next to you?"

Steiner raised an eyebrow, but waited for Garnet's response.

Of course, depending on the size of the booth, there were four seats (or more, or less). Garnet and her two bodyguards made three. Room for one more?

Of course, there were plenty of seats for them all in the same car.

Still, the train would still be on its way soon (as in, by next post).

They would have also noticed the sun was setting, the moon rising...

"Hmm." Didymus noted. "Looks like a full moon tonight."

Outside Lab 5

Lust simply laughed, enjoying the battle, and swiped away with her fingernails at the spike Ed threw at her, and bounded after her!

Meanwhile, Gluttony had recovered, and threw himself at Mustang!

...yes, Roy had been PWNING him for the past few posts in this battle, but hey, Gluttony's probably the dumbest homunculus.

Beatrix shook her head. She had NO idea what was going on, but she knew that Garland was in pursuit.

...she hated to consider it, but she had to get out of here. Find Garnet. Or at the very least, rally what she could of Alexandria's forces she could. She simply started running toward the open gate...with a mutter of "barrier", and with her sword still ready...
(Insert witty/moving/inspiring phrase here)

-Central-

Ansem's House

“I am currently looking into alchemy,” Ansem explained, “Central is a...well, central, for alchemy. There is much to learn here.”

After a few minutes, he returned, handing Melanie and Galv a plate with some cooked meat, potatoes, and rice.

“Here. Now, what are you doing here, young witch?” Ansem inquired, “It seems the red headed boy here is here to find me, but what about you?”

He glanced to the two of them. There was that bond the two had...

“You two seem young to be boyfriend and girlfriend...Especially with one raised as a Paladin,” Ansem commented.

Galv blushed profusely.

Lab 5

“Whirlwind!” Sheba yelled, bringing up the gust of wind, hopefully to knock Bradley back, her eyes wide as she was attacked.

Jenna held up her staff, looking around, “What the heck? Sheba, maybe we should run for it, before it's to late!”

-Amestries Train II-

“I wonder if he'll be there...” Sora wondered, sitting next to Kairi, the two in an empty booth for the time being.

“I hope so...We've looked in so many places...” Kairi sighed, “We can't give up hope.”

“I know...” Sora nodded, “I'll find you brother...Roxas...”

Meanwhile, Garet was looking for a place to sit, scratching his chin. He was also wondering if this train had a food tray as well.

Amestris Train I

KxS looked out the window again, seeing the sun set completely. She looked around more...and saw the moon. ...Oh no... she thought, as she suddenly felt a headache. It didn't take her long to feel both saddened and angered.

I knew He wasn't gonna answer my prayers...I knew He would never help a werewolf... she kept telling herself this as the headache got worse. KxS clutched her head, gritting her teeth.


"Oh, Cess, look!" Shimera exclaimed, looking out of the window. "Its a beautiful full moon! It's a good thing we're not outside, loads of horrible creatures appear in the full moon-like werewolves and vampires and dragons and lions and tigers and bears!"

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Ansem's House

While Melanie was still a bit worried about the whole situation she couldn't help but to leap at the chance to eat a nice warm meal. It had been awhile since she had eaten anything that wasn't out of a can. The girl eagerly took the meal, eating quickly just in case the man decided to change his mind.

“Here. Now, what are you doing here, young witch?”


Melanie paused, swallowing the food and reaching for some water. After taking a drink she answered.

"I......Um wanted to come see the library. I needed to get a few books to..Um help my mother"

She failed to mention too much...Though Ansem had just mentioned studying alchemy...

Melanie took another bite, chewing slowly.

“You two seem young to be boyfriend and girlfriend...Especially with one raised as a Paladin,”

In an instantly the young witch started coughing, pounding on her chest. Finally she caught her breath.

"No no no no no! We're not...Not THAT." Melanie denied quickly, face turning quite red "I just met him today!"

-Ansem's House-

Ansem paused, looking at the two. Galv was blushing just as red as Melanie, unable to say anything.

“You performed a bonding spell on a person you just met today?” Ansem wondered, raising an eyebrow, “A permanent one at that...”

He sighed, looking back and forth between the two, “I hope you two enjoy the other's company.”

Ansem chuckled a little though. “That boy will never be able to stay in Galdwin, not bonded to that girl now...They'd never let him back in the order...”

“Now...you want to help your mother? With what? Is there some sort of destructive force at your village? If that is the case, I have allies that can help you with that. If it's an illness, perhaps I myself could see to it.”

-Train to Ankh-Morpork I-

“Those things are pretty rare, Shimera,” Cess told the Star Maiden, “Well, not lions, tigers, and bears, but only bears are in this area. And they're easy enough to avoid. They don't go after people, not really.”

He paused, leaning back in his chair. He didn't realize what was happening a bit away from them.

-Ansem's House-

Melanie stuttered, shaking her head "It's not like that! I had to! I didn't want him to kill me!"

Melanie looked back down at her food.

"It's not really a destructive force...Or an illness...Well not anymore." Melanie looked back up, really hoping this man could be trusted "My dad died when I was a baby...My mom has been trying to bring him back since....She obsesses over it and...Well I want to help her. I don't really know all she does but I think these books can help...."

She took another bite of her food, chewing slowly.

"It's not like that! I had to! I didn't want him to kill me!"

“Well then, I hope you like him. You two will find it near impossible to be to far from each other, with a spell like that...Though I sense a possible connection from before that...” he said the last part quiet, almost a whisper.

And then Melanie told him why she wanted all those books.

Ansem was silent, listening to Melanie. Galv was quiet as well, feeling uneasy. He wondered why though. It wasn't him trying to bring back someone from the dead...Maybe it was because of this bond?

“If you want to help your mother with that endeavor,” Ansem began, turning to a nearby bookcase, looking over the books, as if he was going to select one. “Then I would plead for her not to try. Nothing good comes from trying to bring back the dead. It is not a realm alchemy, religion, magic, or even science can do. Not from a true death...”

He sighed, turning back to Melanie and Galv, “You are young. You think 'surely, there's something no one else has tried. Something they haven't thought of yet.' You are wrong there. Even a practiced necromancer can not bring someone from death. Perhaps in form, but not in heart and spirit, which is what truly matters.”

"My mom is the strongest person I know...I've never seen a spell she couldn't do....If anyone could figure out how to bring him back successfully surely it would be her"

Melanie sighed, now pushing around her food on her plate. She had suddenly lost her appetite.

"My mother wouldn't try if she could not bring him back fully...Please excuse me for saying so but perhaps there are things that witches know that you are not aware of?"

"My mother wouldn't try if she could not bring him back fully...Please excuse me for saying so but perhaps there are things that witches know that you are not aware of?"

Ansem frowned, but remained calm.

“That could very easily be so, I admit. No one can know everything. It is an impossibility. In fact, the more you learn, the more you find out you don't know,” Ansem answered, “The hubris of man is large though. We keep trying for things that are impossible. You are welcome to stay here for a few days and look over those books you got. I will take any you do not deem that you need to the library after that.”

He sighed, turning back to his bookcase, “But I still implore you. You should not try it. It can be very dangerous. And it could easily end up creating more deaths.”

Ansem was silent then, and Galv fidgeted, speaking up.

“I have...questions as well.”

“And I shall do my best to help answer them. But not right now. It is growing late, and there is much I must deliberate one. If you need a room to stay, I have a guest room here you can use. If you don't want to, you may leave the books here for safe keeping and return in the morning,” Ansem told them, “It is your choice what you do. I can not change that.”

Train to Ankh-Morpork I

KxS looked around, her headache getting worse. There were very many people...too many. There HAD to be a car where no people were around. "S-Sam...g-get me o-outta here..." she stuttered, her teeth seeming to get sharper.


Shimera was quiet for a minute as she kept her eyes on the full moon. "Well...like I said, at least we're not outside in the dark woods. All of those creatures are scary...especially werewolves. My cousin got eaten by one. Such a tragedy, such a tragedy."

[Treno]

Yuna uttered a small sigh. She had not felt aggravation such as this since she announced she was leaving the Spiral Cluster for the mainland to follow a literal dream. Many of the leaders of the Cluster objected, some supported her – but at the end of the day, it had not mattered.

“… This is a waste of time.” Yuna shook her head. “Perhaps we can convince the other side to back down…”

She frowned. If Treno’s leadership would not listen, how could she expect Galdwin to listen? A summoner was not the best envoy to send to Galdwin’s military.

[Train to Ankh-Morpork]

Garnet was looking out the window, waiting for the train to be underway. It had been a long while since she left Alexandria in the middle of the night; and now she was still no closer to learning to use her summoning powers. Yes, she had a small green fox that she had summoned… but no idea how she had done so.

Didymus and Steiner were there (as they usually were) but she seemed to not even realize they were standing there for a moment. Didymus’ words were hesitant, and Steiner seemed quiet.

“… The moon?” Garnet suddenly seemed to start paying attention, shaking her head. She was so lost in thought… then again, that was nothing unusual.

“… Man, this train is pretty big!”

It was Vivi – and Zidane.

“Yo! Room for two more?” Zidane asked, throwing one arm around Steiner and the other around Didymus.

[…]

Sama gave a small sigh, sitting in a different compartment. It seemed they’d found an adventure after all… still, he wondered what Ansem might have done in the same situation.

Oh well, Ankh-Morpork seemed as good a place as any to go. At least they’d be safe from Amestris there.

[Laboratory 5]

Roy was caught off-guard. The Fuhrer’s arrival, his lack of uniform and his odd behavior had him on edge. This time, Gluttony was not met with a fireball! It seemed certain the monster would chomp down on Roy’s face and devour the Colonel!

BANG!

“Colonel, please pay attention during battle.” Hawkeye said simply as she fired a bullet from her rifle into Gluttony’s left eye socket.

Mustang sweat dropped and then jumped back. The battle was becoming ridiculous!

[…]

“… Hey, Eva…” Winry and Eva were probably hiding, since they didn’t have any super powers, alchemy or military training. However, there was one special skill the two girls possessed.

“… If I could hotwire it, could you drive a tank?” Winry asked, pointing at the garage. It WAS a military base, after all… and what could be better than two teenage girls hijacking a tank?

[…]

Ed growled and jumped back. He was getting nowhere fast… this woman was damn irritating, and completely inhuman!

[…]

Fuhrer Bradley, meanwhile, ordered a few of the soldiers to close the gates – thus making it impossible for anyone to flee from the Lab 5 area. The excuse was that it was to prevent the enemies from escaping.

In truth… Wrath did not want anyone leaving, aside from his fellow Homunculi.

Treno

Rikku sighed, too.

Then, she actually grinned a bit.

"If you wanna go try to talk to Galdwin's guys or that Belleza...I'm with you...but if you want, I can get their attention again..."

She was holding a small spherical object-no doubt something she brought from her "Home".

Train to Ankh-Morpork II

Didymus blinked.

Had Garnet not heard his request?

He took a quick glance at Steiner, who shook his head.

Suddenly, Zidane and Vivi were on the scene.


“Yo! Room for two more?”

Steiner fumed.

"Get your hands off me! And find some other booth-the princess needs not the company of the likes of YOU on this trip!-but you're welcome, master Vivi." he quickly added.

Didymus was a bit aggravated by Zidane's sudden touch himself, but simply shrugged, somewhat annoyed, or even embarrassed, at his own query (and the fact it had gone unanswered, for better or worse).

"Is it not the lady's choice who recieves the pleasure of her company on our ride?" he asked.

Wait, did he say "pleasure of her company" out loud?

Oh dear.

Steiner grunted.

"I suppose...but I would remind her of the instructions on proper association that she's been raised on."

Didymus hesitated. A lot of things weighed now on his mind as well; Garnet, his mission, Steiner's...well, some may even say elitism, and his usual thoughts about faith and duty.

He sighed.

"I suppose there's plenty of room-let's just sit." he said, taking a seat in the booth/compartment and deciding to let the seating chart simply play out-he may have put too much thought into it as is.

Laboratory 5

The gates slammed shut-Beatrix stopped with a gasp.

She eyed the soldiers, and the battle occurring once again. She had little idea who was who here-but it seemed that Amestris' Fuhrer had arrived!


Confused, she saw a garage...and bounded toward it, hoping she could slip in unnoticed and hide-although admittedly a woman with a white patch and light chain mail bounding across a battle zone with a sizable sword probably wasn't the best camouflage, even here.

Hughes quickly ran to Bradley's side.

"Sir, we've already taken substantial losses. Is there anyone else we can call in? These foes...don't seem to die, and they're just the front gate guards!" he said.

[...]

Gluttony was knocked back, regenerating, and looked around. Attacking Mustang seemed like it may have been a bad idea...then he saw Lust, engaging Ed and Alphonse! He bounded toward THEM instead...even though he was probably going to get smacked around some more in response. XD

Lust herself, meanwhile, spoke in between her swipes at Ed.

"Don't you boys want knowledge? And to see your precious mother again...? I think I can help..."

Lust loved to play head games.
