Nova City
[Winry said she would leave the hospital a while back and yet, she was still there. But it was mostly down to the fact she still wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Did she want to take another job similar and just take it to another city, or did she want to maybe start her own business and see what happens?

After all, before here she worked for her Grandmother and worked under someone else while gaining new experience. But here, she couldn't work under anyone. In reality, there was no one else who could do the job she was doing. At least that she knew of.

As her thoughts wondered about her next move she found herself on the outskirts of Nova City and she had happened to come across a small building that seemed a lot smaller compared to the other buildings. It seemed nice. Could use a little love and care, but nice otherwise. It made her smile. Soon she noticed the For Sale sign in front of it.

That was it. In her mind, she needed to have this building and maybe give it a shot at running her own business. As she turned on her heels she headed on to the address that was mentioned, making sure along the way to stop off in a few places. Places with building supplies, paints, anything that could give her some idea of what she wanted to do.]

[Winry seemed happy more than anything as she was standing in a rather empty building. Cobwebs were littered around and dust seemed to be touching every inch of it.]

So... Good news. I decided to renovate this building and create my own business, which I know there is no one on this device that would need to use my services, but I am thinking of maybe taking on people to have work experience if they are ever interested in the world of prosthetics. It would be a paying job, of course, so one wouldn't have to worry about not getting money for doing it. [She tapped her chin lightly as she started to look around.]

I am actually looking forward to making this place look nice, even if it takes a while. [A pause before she speaks up again.]

This might sound weird, but... I've been doing a really odd thing without meaning to and I can't put my finger on why. But whenever a man says to do something to someone else or offhandedly I find myself then doing the said thing without even thinking about it.

[She sighed slightly.] In all honesty, I would not normally be that willing to do things that willingly which is why it's odd, but... Does anyone know why I am doing it? I worry that someone might say something awful around me and I kind of don't want that to happen.

[OOC: Winry had her fortune read by Minako and her curse is that she has to do everything any male figure tells her to do, even if it's an offhanded remark. So any male character is free to take full advantage of it.]

[ Gren arches a brow, incredulous. ]

If that’s the case do you really think it’s a good idea to go broadcasting how docile you are? Men are horrible. You should be careful.

Not sure how else to really figure out the problem without actually acknowledging it. I probably will have someone look out for me too, so it's not so bad.

I don't know, it just seems like something that should have been sorted through with only your closest friends. I mean, if it's really the way you say it is...

[ Gren finds himself wanting to test it out because he's a man and as he explained, men are horrible. He needs to ask her to do something that would make the average person balk, but nothing too horrible. Just something that could convince him. ]

...Winry, there are quite a few cobwebs nearby. Find one with a spider and then eat that spider.

My only closest friend is really Eliot and the first thing he would do is freak out. While he calls himself a library, not quite sure he would have anything that would help.

[She turned her head slightly at what was around her. She didn't even notice them.]

And what if none have any?

[ After a moment of consideration, he shakes his head. He's curious, but it isn't worth being an asshole to someone who has been kind to him. ]

Actually, nevermind. Forget it. Get together with that Eliot guy as soon as you can. Hopefully he can help you out. I'm over here trying to make you eat spiders, so forget about me.

[ His eyes widen a bit. It can't work like that, right? ]

...Winry, do you remember me? Saxophone guy in the streets?

In what way do you mean by get together? I assume it's the whole find him as soon as possible type deal.

[She paused for a moment, tilting her head.]

Considering one can't forget just like that even if asked, I do. I mean the only way to forget is it hurt my head and I can do that if you want me to forget. [Give her a moment.] or I could see if Eliot's pocketwatch could work for others.

[ Whew. They weren't close, but Gren didn't want to have to start over. He thought he made a pretty solid first impression. ]

No. No. I don't want you to hurt yourself. Just uh...

[ Gren can't handle this anymore. He knows he's going to fuck something up. ]

I'm gonna go. I have to go. Please be careful.

[ He immediately ends his feed after that. ]

No idea why that's happening but if you have any idea when or where it started, maybe it's not impossible to figure it out.

[Or if someone else knows, great, but maybe it's a mystery. Let's just say certain early events in life make this girl take worries like that very seriously...]

That's the thing. I can't think of what could have caused it.

[At least not right off the bat anyway.]

I mean it could be something I've done over the past few days, but can't pinpoint what could cause this.

Maybe you're just a people-pleaser?

[He doesn't usually bother with the network, since people are usually annoying and stupid, but this could be fun.]

Hey, why don't you tell me a joke?

Edited 2018-09-24 16:37 (UTC)

[Damn it. Winry find herself sighing for a moment. She had a few dumb jokes so at least she could say one, even though in her head she really didn't want to.]

Okay... Um... Why did the picture go to jail? Because it was framed.

[And she makes a face. God it was awful.]

That was awful.

Haha, yep!

[He's laughing anyway, but more for the possibilities of how she could be messed with. Unfortunately, he can't think of a way to do it without racking up a criminal charge. Can't register as a man anonymously, can he?

Well, if he can't have fun with her, no one can.]

Hey, if you're serious, them maybe you'll wanna...oh! I got it.

Unless it's an emergency, put your phone away and don't go on the network until this blows over.

That should be easy enough to do. Since it's not an emergency right now, I should really switch off, right?

WHAT?!

W-Winryyy! Don't advertise such a thing--- I-I...! I'm coming overrr!

Wait, where are you?

How else was I going to solve the issue without advertising it? Besides I was pretty sure you would react.

And I am at Nova City.

I'm coming over!

[He's closing up shop for now and grabbing his signature green coat, then stumbling out into the street.]

Nova? Were you in Everglade? Or Fayren? Anywhere that maybe you'd pick up a curse? O-Or are you feeling better now?

You know you don't have to come over.

[She shook her head slightly. As far as she was aware, she never went to either one of those recently. Everglade wise it wasn't her time to donate blood and she still somewhat avoids Fayren so very rarely goes there.]

Not recently, no.

I can't just leave you when you're in trouble either, Winry!

Maybe Augustine would know what to do. He's better at magical things than I am.

I'm only in trouble if I get told what to do. Like if you told me to stay where I am, I would.

I guess if he can help, you can ask along the way maybe.

Very well. I shall do just that.

But... Ahh, let's see. I guess I don't need to ask you to do anything to stay safe. I'm sure you've that covered... Hmm, actually.

Am I going to be helpful, or just in your way?

I'm just sitting here currently. So not going to get into trouble anytime soon.

[She paused for a moment. Even though he might be trying to talk to himself, she figured to actually still answer.]

I have no idea.

..So when a man says a thing to someone else to do something, you do that something instead.

You're in earshot?

If I can hear it, yes. It seems.

...Yeah don't worry about it. You should always do what the man says, even if it's not directed at you. Proooobably for the best.

[Kii grinned widely]

Or maybe you have a Syndrome of sorts? Wouldn't that be INTERESTING! KEkekeke!

I should?

[She paused for a moment.]

I have no idea what you mean by syndrome, so I can't honestly answer your question.
