[PRIVATE]

He stumbles into the hallway, his little brother holding onto the sleeve of his pajama shirt. His parents stand at the end of the hallway, his father wearing a coat and holding a bag.

"What're you boys doing up so early?" his mother asks him, her voice a little nervous.

"Al needs to pee," he replies, yawning as his little brother rubs the sleep from his eyes.

His mother comes over and ruffles his hair affectionately. "And you're helping him? What a good brother. Thank you, --." He sees her mouth move, but he still doesn't hear his name.

Rubbing sleepily at his eye, he looks up at his father, wondering why he is dressed to go outside. And for a moment there's silence, as he father looks back at him. And then his father's expression changes, hardens.

"Bye." That was all his father says as he opens the front door, letting dawn's first light creep into the little wood frame house.

And then the door shuts. And the light is gone.

He drops his head into his hands. Damnit. It'd been so nice, remembering the little white house he'd grown up in, with the big tree outside and all the flowers his mother grew. His mother too... she was nice. Warm and loving. A good mother. His little brother was always following him around, hanging off of him. But that was okay. He wanted to be a good big brother, take care of Al. And then there was the family down the road from them. The mother, father, grandmother, and little girl. The couple were doctors, and the grandmother made the metal limbs like the ones he had. The girl was the same age as him, and they often played together. The memories had been so nice.

And now this.

Damnit.

Why? Why had his father left? Why had his father looked at him like that? Had he done something wrong? Didn't he love them? His first memory had left him with an impression of distance from his father... but this one...

He didn't understand.

[ACTION]

[Having procured himself a red winter coat and a pair of heavy white gloves, he's up on a roof, helping to shovel the snow off.]

[Or... well, he's supposed to be.]

[But he's currently pecking off unsuspecting pedestrians with snowballs.]

[VIDEO]

[He stares at the camera for a moment. And no, he's not sitting in the dark place so the slight redness of his eyes is harder to see, nope.]

'Bout time I got something more informative.

[And then the feed ends.]

[Memories: 1% spent on watching Hohenheim in his study, 3% spent on Resembool, the Elric house, the Rockbells, and Hohehheim leaving. 4% remaining.]

*Beep, no, not letting you leave it like that, man.*

Aw, you're gonna leave us dangling like that? You okays over there?

What's there to dangle? I'm fine.

Well, first you tells us you gots something informative, and then you don't tell us what it is! I'm in suspense here!

Informative for me, not for anyone else.

S'cool. Sorry about missing your confirmation.

[She's not mad that the people around her were getting hit by snowballs. Nope. She's not even ticked off that they were blocking her from sweeping up the sidewalks. Nor is she even miffed by the fact that these snowballs created more work for her to do.

She is furious that she got hit in the back of her head!

Fueled by her fury, she starts throwing as many baseball sized snowballs she can make in Ed's general direction. They're actually flying pretty fast due to her martial art skill-]

"Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire" technique! You pay for hitting Shampoo!

[after getting pegged with one of them--which kind of hurt--he decides it might be best to just duck until she's done]

All that over one snowball?!

[Darn it, she ran out of snow to throw. On the plus side, she cleared her area and got to deal with her anger in a very non-lethal way.]

Shampoo hates to get wet. Plus you have lousy throw power. Snow ball fights mean to knock out enemies!

[he's still got snow up on the roof... especially now that this crazy girl has chucked so much up at him... but he's just going to not touch any for now]

Oh. Well. Sorr--what do you mean they're for knocking out enemies? It's just a game!

Hey! You up there! If it's a fight you want, you'll get it!

[Throwing a snowball two stories up is not much of a problem for him. Accuracy, however... hahahaha yeah he's a pretty lousy shot with those things.]

[he just snickers and barely even has to dodge]

That's some fight you got there.

[his accuracy though... is pretty good]

You haven't seen anything yet!

[This boast is undercut by him getting whacked in the face.]

Yeah, definitely not seen anything.

[snicker]

[Yuta sputters after getting hit by that snowball. What the heck?!

It doesn't take him long to figure out the source and throw one in retaliation. Amazingly, the snowball somehow clears the edge of the roof. Better be ready to dodge, Ed!]

[And dodge he does! At this distance it's not too hard.]

Not bad!

[...Wow, that snowball actually made it. But instead of thinking on it too much, Yuta crouches to scoop up another one.]

You haven't seen anything yet!

[Aaaaand throw!]

[aaaaaand he ducks under the throw, scooping up a handful of snow that he quickly molds into a second snowball]

You can do better than that!

[and he whips the snowball at the other boy]

Fullmetal remembered something?

Yeah, a few things.

Does he want to talk about it?

[Ruby glances over from the roof he's working to clear.]

You know someone is gonna get mad for this and get back at you.

[oh hello roommate]

What're they gonna do? Throw one back? That's kind of the point.

They're not the ones two or three stories up. And they might decide to hit me instead, and I'm lighter than you. I don't want fall.

[[OOC: Someone, please hit him at some point in this conversation so he'll lose his hat.]]

[Oh, he was totally hit with one of those snowballs. Jaime yelps, turning around to find the source.]

Oh, are we having a snowball war here? Because it's totally on.

[he tosses a snowball from hand to hand]

Bring it.

[and he whips a second snowball in Jamie's direction]

[This time, Jaime actually manages to dodge! He kneels down, forming one with his hands.]

You asked for it!

[He's still on the ground, so it doesn't exactly hit Edward like expected, but Jaime's going to climb up to make up for his disadvantage.]
