Malvin Estate

“Dishonest? What kind of person do you think I am? Simply because I would rather help the poor in Section Eight than I would stand on a wall and shoot at bandits does mean I do not care for the honor and integrity of the police force!”


Didymus sighed. Had Alice only heard the NEGATIVE of what he had said?

"Lady Alice, I hope you will understand that..."

He was going to mention their quarrel over Samuel, but to mention it outloud in her estate where others could be listening could be a problem.

"...I wish to maintain my honor in all my dealings. I just...I know how to keep my mouth shut about a thing or two here and there, but I don't think I'm a big fan of keeping secrets or deceiving. So I'd rather not have to get involved in that, if it can be helped. Make no mistake, I think the notion that you'd rather be caring for the poor with Section Three than taking potshots at bandits speaks to your credit, if anything."

He could have brought up how he wondered if doing that was really the military's job, but figured that...well, again, he had had enough of arguing with Malvins for the evening (but predicted that he may still have a long night of that ahead).

“You don't like what I'm doing, don't come. I'll be perfectly fine without you.”


"Lady Alice, I believe that I already said that I would be willing to help, I simply voiced a couple of requests I had pertaining how we went about this."

Many more types of comments wanted to come out of his mouth, but he held his tongue. He had spoken frankly, honestly, courteously. If an aristocrat STILL had a problem with that...than he could call it a night.

[Malvin Estate]

Alice crossed her arms and frowned.

“Listen, I do things honestly. If I wanted to be dishonest, I could abuse my family's posistion to get Section Three some actual resources, or maybe some funding; but I DON'T. I believe in taking the route that will do the most good... if you don't like my decisions, then you can easily be reassigned. My unit will be fine without babysitters.”

She shook her head. “If on the other hand you're willing to come along with me, then we need to get moving right now... well, in a few moments. If you'll kindly step outside, I'll change back into my uniform.”

Didymus paused.

"Um, with all due respect, lady Alice, I...don't think that I can be reassigned as easily as you think...but perhaps that's a conversation for another time."

He was going to point out, again, her secret with Samuel, but that could be saved for later; again, he'd had enough of arguing with them for the evening.

“If on the other hand you're willing to come along with me, then we need to get moving right now... well, in a few moments. If you'll kindly step outside, I'll change back into my uniform.”

"I AM willing, lady Alice, if your family is. Besides, to safeguard your unit is my responsibility-you specifically, I'd think. If nothing else, I think your family has made it quite clear they will be...most displeased...with me if something happens to you."

He chuckled, then made for the door.

"See you in a moment."

He stepped outside and shut the door behind him.

Knife's Mansion

Spoony was... a bit suspicious of why his dad was being so agreeable about Sophie... almost deceptively so. But regardless, he nodded and said, "Then it's settled! Thank you, father."

He turned to Sophie and said, "I'd be glad to show you around after dinner!"

As everyone was getting done with their soups, the servant from earlier came by with new dishes on a fancy cart.

"The main course, Master Knife and Mistress Mezzaluna.", the servant said with an uppity English accent, and his nose turned upwards at little Sophie.

Spoony was glad they were having ravioli for dinner. It was his favorite dish! Not to mention mine!

[Malvin Estate]

Alice decided not to tell him that this operation was something her family would not be told about. She knew her sisters... they tried very hard to keep Alice in the house, playing the part of a practical princess. She'd have none of it! In all the fairy tales she ever heard, Alice found herself relating more to the knight than the damsel in distress.

When she was again in her uniform, she headed out into the hall.

“Okay. My family isn't to know about this... and no, that's not being dishonest! This is a military operation, and my family are civilians.”

That was... a valid excuse.

[Knife's Mansion]

Knife had gone to a lot of trouble. He had been kind to Sophie, and he had gone forward to insure that his son's favorite meal would be served.

It was unusual for that man... but he had a plan. He slowly ate, watching the two, and waiting for them to finish.

“Okay. My family isn't to know about this... and no, that's not being dishonest! This is a military operation, and my family are civilians.”


Didymus shifted.

"Um, true, but don't they...doesn't your father have some say in-"

"WHAT are we not supposed to know about?"

Didymus whirled around, and there-of course-were Alice's sisters, the younger giving a glare, the eldest with her hand in her face, sighing.

"Alice, please, you almost were killed this evening. We don't even know if you're well enough to go out! Please try to understand that you should stay for your own good! Besides, the lieutenant has had a very long night and-"

Didymus stomach, as if on cue, grumbled.

"...and he apparently hasn't even eaten yet, yet I know that he wouldn't let you simply run unescorted out there. Please, consider him, yourself, and your family."

Solie was always the calm, calculating, more mature one.

Ellie was simply glaring daggers at them.

-Shimera's Mansion-

Cess blushed brightly as Shimera hugged him even tighter. He could just go intangible, but he wouldn't want to. He quite liked the hug.

“So...” Cess said, pausing again and pulling back, smiling slightly, “It's...starting to get late...”

-Hawkins Residence-

“Aaaaand...Galv isn't here...” Samuel sighed, after searching their small house, “Of course...”

[Apartment Building]

Sama led Crystal, Jimi, Hammah and Colette to a nearby apartment building; a large one located near Stark's headquarters. The boy disappeared inside for a few minutes and spoke with the management, and then came back out with a grin on his face.

“Well, I've got us all apartments here... I can have someone help you guys with your stuff later because RPing moving furniture will make GS cry.”

He paused, crossing his arms. “You know, I think we need to celebrate somehow... I mean, you guys all have new jobs, and I finally have some people my own age to hang out with at work... so let's head out somewhere and party!”

Sama doesn't have a great work ethic.

[Malvin Estate]

Alice groaned a bit, crossing her arms.

“Look, I have a job to do. We're simply going to check in with Colonel Mustang. There's nothing strenuous or dangerous about it... and we'll stop for burgers on the way over. Now if you'll excuse me...”

She was lying of course, but she probably would stop for burgers.

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Knife's Mansion

Mezzaluna threw a dark glare at her husband from across the table, but silently took a bite of her food. It was perfect and yet the woman still had a look of utter distaste on her face. It would taste a lot better if Knife hadn't just promised the....'thing' she could wander around the school with her son.

But she knew Knife had some sort of pla brewing.....He always did.

Meanwhile Sophie looked eagerly at the pasta, sticking her fork into a piece and stuffing into her mouth. For a few moments she chewed before giving a happy noise. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!"

Sophie didn't get to eat much good food "This is AMAZING!"

R&V Industries

Kanna raised a brow, and grinned. "Alright, you can walk me" she said with a little shrug, playing with the metal flower before sticking it into her hair. "After all I would hate to be mugged the second I step out your door. Just think what they'd do to a woman like me"

Kanna knew she was getting to them.

Dusty Workshop

Melanie giggled and Jason groaned.

"See Jason! Galv will make sure i'm okay! You guys stay here and work and we'll go explor-"

"NO" Jason interupted "You are NOT going out in the slums!"

Melanie frowned, hands on her hips "Why Not?"

"Because!" Jason answered, groaning again "First off, you're dressed too nice! They'll know you're loaded!"

"So? Then i'll take off the dres-"

"NO!" Jason exclaimed again. He totally knew she didn't mean it like that but decided not to take any chances around Galv's brain.

[Knife's Mansion]

Knife raised his eyebrow at Sophie's... behavior. The girl was unique, and lively... but soon enough Knife would be rid of this problem forever. She was certainly too... enthusiastic for Spoony. Knife would have to make sure this didn't happen.

“I am so glad you enjoy the meal.” Knife lied through his teeth. “I certainly know you will enjoy the after dinner games.”

NO. Not those kind of games! It's Knife, not Sire.

[R&V Industries]

Rica grinned and took Kanna's arm, leading her towards the front door. He waited a moment before dropping his voice a bit. He had to make a move...

“You know, there's a little side project I'd like to discuss with you. Something I've been thinking of since the airship crashed earlier... with what happened, I think the first company to come out with a new airship design will be on top of the world... and I'd like to be on top o... with you.”

Subtle Rica. So subtle.

[Apartment Building]

Sama paused, thinking for a moment, and then a lightbulb went off in his head.

“Saaaaaaay... I know where we could go! The trainyard!” Sama grinned, and quickly started to elaborate. “Nobody will be there right now, and we could totally head there! I know it might sound strange, but... well, we're all engineers, right? I'm sure we could have some fun there!”

Or get into trouble.

"Oh right...my parents might be coming in. They probably heard about the crash and are heading home," Shimera said. She looked toward the door.

"If you'd like to stay here, I know a secret passageway to a guest bedroom you can stay in."

“Look, I have a job to do. We're simply going to check in with Colonel Mustang. There's nothing strenuous or dangerous about it... and we'll stop for burgers on the way over. Now if you'll excuse me...”


"Would...would Colonel Mustang even be in at this hour...?" Didymus asked out loud.

Ellie almost burst, Solie sighed.

"Alice, if indeed you must check in with your commanding officer, then we cannot stop you..." she began.

Ellie pointed a finger at them.

"But if you do ANYTHING stupid, we WILL hear about it! And YOU!" she glared at Didymus. "Don't LET her do anything stupid! Or get hurt! Or we WILL make you wish you'd NEVER met her!"

Solie shot her a look.

Didymus had to fight to contain himself. He could tell them of Alice's plan, or protest, but...he was starting to get used to not getting along with the Malvins.

Alice nodded. “Fine, fine, we'll be careful. Come along, Lieutenant.”

She led Didymus outside quickly, and as they were headed down the driveway of her estate she immediately defended herself to him.

“DON'T give me any lip about lying to my sisters. They're civilians, and my family. There's a far difference between not telling them what I'm doing and withholding something from the force. Besides... with them its a personal matter and has no impact on my career.”

She shook her head, annoyed as always with her snobbish family.

“Let's head down to the slums!”

Didymus sighed as Alice defended herself in front of him.

"I don't think I agree with your reasoning entirely, not on a lot of things, at least, but...for now, at least, perhaps I need to just focus on keeping you safe. But PLEASE, Malvin, let's...well, be careful."

He still didn't feel entirely right about this. But she DID have a point about the fact her family were civilians, although her father may have outranked him simply by nature of being the head of an aristocratic household, but she still had a point...


“Let's head down to the slums!”


"Wait, Malvin, please, two things. First off, let's check with the HQ in case Mustang IS in-in which case we can at least say yes, we did check in with Mustang-or try to. Second...do you think we can stop by my residence? It's on the way, I think..." he said.

-Apartment Building-

“I don't know...” Hammah frowned, “I don't think Colette should be up this late...She's only ten!”

He looked down at Colette, frowning a little.

“Then you can babysit, you're not an adult yet either!” Jimi said, noticeably shorter then his younger brother. “And us adults can go have fun!”

-R&V Industries-

Ethan was, of course, right by them, on Kanna's other side.

“It would be quite a marvelous feat...”

-Dusty Workshop-

Unfortunately for Jason, Galv's brain was now shut off at the moment once Melanie mentioned losing the dress. He'll be back in a minute, folks!

“As it is, we are all in these fancy clothes still...” Maize said, “I wouldn't mind changing into something more comfortable...”

She then grinned at Jason. She was Ethan's daughter, and he was Kanna's son...

-Shimera's Mansion-

“Alright then...” Cess said, then paused, “...Though...the night's still young...we could always head back to down some more. Your choice of destination this time!”
