Welcome to Gaia! ::

Faulkner's face got even harder. "Well then, Mr. Armstrong, I would suggest that you hold your cousin to a higher standard of behavior," she said, rubbing her hand. She pinched her nose in annoyance. "If you are planning to become a state alchemist, which I assume because of that strange chimera metal bone thing, then I suggest you hail a cab and get on the next train. You can meet us there. We," she said, looking at Alex, "have to been with our commanding officer. And our flight leaves in thirty minutes." She was frowning the entire time. "If you want to see Mr. Elric again, Mrs. Armstrong, I suggest you let him come with the Frostfire Alchemist. You can meet him in Central."

((I feel very bad for not posting yet... Sorry, I'll post now even though i'm not very important. As well I think i'll bother Shining))


Caroline smiled some as she started through central. Watching all the different people move and talk made her want to play her music. But she had no musical instrument near her. She sighed and even her stomach growled. She came by a populated area, near some cafes and other places that would have food. She went into an alley and used the transmutation circle from her glove to create an instrument she had played before. Something she had made herself, something that was half lyre but also half flute. She didn't play it like a flute but played it like the would a lyre, except it would make the sounds of a flute.

She smiled a polite smile as she made her way to a small part of the city infront of a small Cafe and started to play her instrument. The Flyre, as she likes to call it, was something enchanted as well as it was able to capture the attention of passerbys and made her happy about it as well. People started crowding to watch her play the strange instrument and Caroline for the moment, enjoyed it.

Cyril couldn't help but laugh at the entire situation. "You certainly have some interesting friends, Alex. I actually had the pleasure of meeting the Strong Arm Alchemist once. Definitely an amusing man. I can understand why you guys look up to him." He then extended a hand to two newcomers. "My name's Cyril Lamirande, the Frostfire Alchemist. Nice to meet you both."

Cyril laughed again. "Trust me, I know the feeling. Amy's a tad bit impatient when it comes to me. I often wonder if she'd still hang around if she wasn't ordered to."

Nodding and listening to Mary Joesph simply sipped on his coffee as she started into stories of her children and how much they had grown. After a few minutes tho she was called away and had to say farewell to Joesph as work again called. Finishing the coffee tho the drink had the necessary effect as he was now feeling more awake then had had earlier after his early morning.

About to order something to munch on to tide him over something caught his ear as he looked out the window he was seated next to. Outside a crowd had gathered around the music. From the muffled noise that was coming thru the buildling. It was not bad in the least. The sound seemingly to be a flute tho from the crowd he couldn't tell to much. As much as he was enjoying the music he wondered if the person had the authorization to be playing there. At times not wanting to be the bad guy but also being a member of the military he had to check this out none the less.

Sighing as he stood up Joesph gave a small wave to Mary to say he wasn't going to be gone long. Heading outside he slowly started towards the crowd. He atleast wanted to see what was going on before likely being forced to disband the little musician. The crowd tho was alot thicker then he had previously thought as he stood just at the outside of it with a bit of a sigh he started to push his way thru towards the middle of it.

Caroline spun as she continued to play. Soon bringing her song to an end. As she finished the last note she bowed and was given some applause. She bowed again and put her instrument on the ground next to where she was about to sit down as the crowd started to thin, and she noticed someone coming towards her through the crowd. She sat anyway. Her stomach had stopped growling as she had been playing and it made her humanly features less apparent to her. Like her hunger.

She smiled as he came upon her. "Sir, is there something you needed?" She asked as she started messing with her weird instrument again.

Looking at the girl as the crowd around him started to dissipate Joesph gave a small smile to the girl to atleast show that he wanted to be nice. "Yes there is" he said clearing his throat a bit as he stood there. Thinking it over for a bit he figured that he could go ahead and ignore this one for once and let the girl play. From the look of the girl she wasn't have an easy life so likely what little she made from her little performances would be her earnings for that day.

"I just wanted to know where it was that you learned to play such an instrument" he questioned her looking down at it on the ground next to her. Tho the sound that came from it was that of a flute it was of a different design then what he knew.
