Introduction

[alchemy-4-arson.livejournal.com]

Roy Mustang shuffles through the school entrance, carrying a satchel of books and a sleepy expression. His bangs hang somewhat over his eyes because he's too lazy to style his hair back properly. He'd also like to think that it makes him a little dashing... but mostly it's just lazyness. Effort is saved for learning, not keeping up appearences.

Roy keeps looking down at a small piece of crumpled paper in his hand, then looking around. His clothes are clean but just slightly rumpled, and traces of white chalk still cling to his fingertips. He notices this as he glances down, and wipes his fingers on his trousers with a grimace. It just makes an even worse smear. He sighs.

"Well, this is the right address... Just got to find where to register for the local science club." He looks down at the note again, muttering. "And a chess club, and a chemistry club, and a meteorology/geology club if they have one of those too..."

He starts to tick items off on his fingers, muttering to himself. "And I need lab partners for geology, and physics..."



((OOC: for the purpose of this RP, Roy is pre-canon for FMA, from approximately the year 1900. So he doesn't know Edward Elric yet, or the Rockbell family, or anything. But if someone RPs Hughes, Gracia, or Hawkeye he might know them. I wrote a more detailed explanation of his pre-canonness (age, education, etc) at the info page here.

Also, I'd like to ask where in canon the other FMA players are from so that I can interact with you guys accordingly.))

I've got a couple different flame-sources, but I'll bring them all. *smirk*

And I'm Pyro.

"Pyro..."

Roy sniggers.

"Okay," he claps his fist into his palm and grins. "Where do you practice your arson? I've got some side projects I'll be wanting to play around with while I'm here, and not all of them are do-able in a dormroom or a normal labratory."

"Anywhere's good." Pyro leans back, smirking a little. "I ain't particular -- and I'm good enough at what I do that location shouldn't be a problem."

Right?

"If I'm doing something big, though, I usually try for somewhere by the river -- past the gymnasium, you know?"

((OOC: RPING IS SO ADDICTIVE. I HAD NO IDEA.))

"You're probably more advanced in control than I am," Roy admits, eyeing Pyro and wondering why the the other boy has gone out of his way to avoid saying exactly what he does. He can already guess it's not alchemy, but he has no idea what else Pyro could be alluding to, so he decides to find out as soon as possible.

"I'm still developing my array, it's not perfect yet. Half the time I simply use up air, or accidentally compress the molecules into H2O. I like outdoor places better than indoor, though, because it means I have to learn to adapt to changing atmospheric conditions on the spot.-- We've got a river?"

((OOC: HEE I KNOW. OMG, IT EATS YOUR BRAINZZZ.)

"It's what I do." Pyro says it simply, because, well, it's not as if it needs to be said any other way. There's stuff, it's on fire, it burns. "It'd be cool to see some of your work, though. Have another contemporary or two."

"There's a river, yeah. Go by the gymnasium and keep walking -- s'about a ten minute walk or so." He smirks a little, leaning back against the wall. "You're at Fandom High, Mustang. Get used to seeing a lot of weird shit."
