What the hell? I didn't think we would arrive in Xing this quickly, and to just dump me in a room like this? Well I mean I know there are plenty of people that aren't exactly happy about me, to put it lightly, but I thought they'd at least show common courtesy, however forced.

More importantly what is up with this room? Xingese interior decorating sucks. This is the kind of room that Edward would come up with.

[there is the sound of the welcoming video starting and running in the background. Winry becomes silent throughout all of it until finally, and eloquently]

---the hell?

((ooc; hi guys 8D;;; have empress winry arriving in Death City. Anyone can go ahead and tag as if responding to this entry, or in action if they are in the chamber))

[Oh hey its Ed. He didn't realize he was coming-- though he should have expected it. He's standing behind her so the look he passes to Ed is unseen by her.]

[It's its a small sad smile.]

[seeks-thetruth.livejournal.com]

[He sees but doesn't altogether register or react to Ling's smile, because Winry's right here and she looks the same, if a bit older - hell, they're all older now - and he doesn't stop walking till he's pretty close to her.]

Winry, you're -

[...one of these things is not like the others.]

The hell's all that?

[This is beginning to feel odd. There's just something about the way that Ed and Ling have reacted to her that doesn't quite seem to fit---but then she figures. They've been here three years, right? Which means they haven't seen her in any of those three years]

What the hell is...? Oh this? [she looks down at her clothing]

Er. Well you know since I was visiting I thought 'why not?' Kind of pretty, don't you think? [jeez how long can she keep this up?]

[Takes the time to actually notice her clothes now. Like, really look at them.

...those are far too formal to just be for a visit. In fact they look ....

but there was no way, was there?]

They are. Ah, perhaps we should move to somewhere more accommodating to finish talking? One of our apartments?

[seeks-thetruth.livejournal.com]

[...Okay, you know what. Winry is here, he won't fixate on the weird clothes.]

Yeah. My place should be empty.

[she smiles glad that was put behind them]

So where to?
