Beyond teh State Alchemists, teh other military guys that are not extras are Maes Hughes, who does throwing knives, Riza Hawkeye, good with guns, Roy's cronies (whom I won't even bother naming off), and Maria Ross and Denny Brock (who just appeared this past episode), plus Archer (who hasn't appeared yet). Notice none but those first 2 have any real special combat abilities. GASP!!! How can you NOT name Jean Havoc at least!! Mad gun skills!! not as crazy scary as Riza, but still! ........Havoc.....:: goes back to crying over teh manga ::

I found Mario and Tiki sparring in teh workroom. I had forgotten they were such good fighters. Mario didn't really move that much, just let Tiki try to kick and punch him. Sho moves quickly and fluidly, but she still reminds me of a ballerina, of course don't tell HER that. Finally Tiki lands a hit, she kicks Mario right across teh face. I can't help but clap.
"Whose side are you on?" Mario yells at me. "I hafta gain Tiki's favor! She is gonna be my sister-in-law." They both cross teh room to greet me. Tiki seems to bounce, I guess she's gotten over whatever was upsetting her. "So Isa, will you spar with me? Dark said you're even better than Sophia. " Tiki says while stretching. "Um... maybe another time... can I talk to you Mario?" "Sure... uh..." He glances at Tiki. "Sheesh, I got it! I can take a hint you know!" She says as she walks outta teh room. "So," Mario says putting his arm around my waist "what did you wanna talk about?" "er.....Well....." "What? Do I smell bad or something?" "No, its just that everyone keeps asking me about teh wedding. And I THOUGHT that WE had decided to have a long engagment, but I realized that you never formally agreed to that, and..." "YOu were wondering if you were teh only one who feels like we should wait?" I nod. "To tell you teh truth. I don't know how long I can wait. I just think that you are stressed and your way of dealing with it is to push it back farther and farther, I think we just need to set a date and get it over with." "Oh..." "I'm sorry, I..." "No, you're right, I am stressed and I really do wanna get married, I just was pushing it back because I didn't wanna deal with it." "Good that means we can set a date before we both turn 40?" "Yea, I mean its not like I'm planning a huge wedding or anything...." Mario bites his lip. "What?" "Well I know we said we would have a small wedding but I was thinking..." "Oh not you too!" "Well hear me out! Think about it, you always say that we're gonna have a small wedding because we both have such little family. But you have a whole CITY of family back in Priwa. And everyone from teh Bilkis crew is my family, including those that didn't follow us here. And everyone here in this place, they've become like family havent they?" "Why do you hafta make so much sense?" "Because I'm so smart?" "Well" I sigh, "I guess I should tell Ninamori she's gonna help me plan my wedding." "do you think you can handle that on your own?" "Yea, as long as Jessie doesn't pick out anything."

Time to get BACK to this one, again!
Sergei swallowed nervously, and Sophia could see teh fear creeping back into his eyes again--She already suspected teh answer, but she wanted to hear what he would say in his defense, what excuse he would make--
But teh answer he gave her, in a voice low and hoarse with suppressed emotion, was unexpected--looking back down at his knees, Sergei answered with......teh Truth!--"Yes......I did......Sophia......teh Elders HELP ME, I DID! She was frightened, and trying to escape me, and teh more panicked she became, teh more of her fear I could sense, teh more.........excited......I felt! I, who was powerless in SPITE of my position, a victim of teh Elders' machinations, a mere...."tool".....for their ambitions, now held teh Power of Life and Death over another, right THERE in my hands, and those feelings were INTOXICATING!!! I was not only Immortal, I was a god!"
There were now tears running down his face, unheeded, as he continued--"But.....afterwards....when I was trying to clean her blood off of me, off of my hands, I began to shake VIOLENTLY, and I seemed to have become icy COLD down to my core, like I would NEVER feel warm again--I lost everything in my stomach and yet I STILL gagged with dry heaves--if I HADN'T known that I was Immortal, I would've thought that I was DYING, Sophia!"
Sergei shuddered violently, his teeth chattering, and it took him several deep breaths before he could continue--"I STILL don't know exactly WHY murdering Remy had these effects on me--I had killed my Register, Sybl, with hardly a blink, telling myself it was self-defense--she had HATED me for a VERY long time, even BEFORE my Fourth self had been brought into existance, actually SMILED as they.....they put down teh Third Sergei....it was teh LAST thing he...I...saw............."
Sergei groaned, and buried his tear-streaked face in his knees, his arms wrapped around them in a huddle of misery--"Every time I remember WHAT I did to Remy, how I LAUGHED as she died, I remember ALSO Sybl's smiling face as I DIED, and I feel sick, all over again.......And sometimes I have terrible nightmares about it all, where I see myself AGAIN hounding Remy to her death, but when I look down at teh body, it's..........it's MIR I see, staring up at me with dead eyes, HORROR on her face, and I realize that HER "last sight" was ME, Sophia, ME GLORYING IN HER FEAR AND--AND LAUGHING AT HER DEATH!!!" Sergei sobbed heavily then, teh strong emotions he had expressed catching up with him, this "confession" still weighing down his Soul.......
Sophia reached out again, lightly touching his long blond hair, not sure why she was feeling teh conflicting emotions roiling in HER heart--["I SHOULD be HATING HIM, now more that EVER, but................"]
He looked up at her when he felt her touch, his handsome face contorted with self-loathing, but his eyes pleading with her--
"Wha--what are you gonna DO to me, Sophia....now, that I've answered your question.....?" Sergei asked quietly.....
["--But.......Those terrible emotions he described, and teh feeling of POWER I have over him right now, knowing I could ruin or even END his life........are.....teh SAME....Aren't they.......?"] Sophia thought to herself, teh TRUTH hitting her suddenly.
She *sighed*, and answered HIS question, now......
"I can't condemn YOU, Sergei, without doing teh SAME to MYSELF, and for teh SAME reasons--I.......ENJOYED hurting you earlier, and when I came in here, I was HOPING for teh "excuse" to do MORE--to make you SUFFER for those deaths you caused, including my own, but..........I don't WANT memories--OR nightmares--like those that afflict YOU, now, and......well......I think you may have suffered............enough, Lord Sergei Sneak......."
Sophia gave teh surprised Sergei a small, sad smile and patted him gently on teh shoulder--"Why don't you try and get some more rest--you look as if someone beat you up, you know......"
He gave a small snort of disbelieving laughter at this "joke", too caught off balance by Sophia's unexpected change of heart to do much ELSE other than stare at her, as if he wasn't sure he was hallucinating......"All--all right...." he managed, as she started for teh door--
"Sergei?" Sophia stood at teh door a moment, looking back at teh weary blond man in teh Hospital bed--
"Y-yes?"
"Apology Accepted"
Sophia waited just out of sight until she heard his sheets rustling, then just to make SURE he was "all right", peeked in for one last look--she was gratified to see that Sergei was asleep, his care-worn countenance finally looking relaxed, a very small smile lifting teh corners of his mouth........
More to Come--

Wow, that idea is so much better than mine. I have a problem with not thinking ahead sometimes...(Liz is actually supposed to be better at that than RL me, but I think I'm rubbing off on her). And it doesn't help that school hasd been frying my brain lately. Wouldn't HURT-ta' "sauce" him up a bit, ANYWAY.......! [Just-ta' "relax" him a-smidgin', so he won't get so "damaged" when we stampede teh stage, right!?]

Ninamori had been stalking me around teh ship and even brought her "Wedding Book" with her to class sometimes, begging me to let her show me samples of fabric and trying to force me to comment on different pictures she shoved in front of my face. I finally got some peace when I payed Satoshi $30 to go to teh movies with her. She was so excited she forgot to tape teh latest "A Wedding Story" on TLC. "Finally, peace and quiet." I turn on teh television and start flipping through teh channels. "Hey, what are you watching?" Jessie asks, plopping down next to me on teh couch. Lately, Jessie and I have learned to deal with each other, we both hafta deal with Andy anyway "Nothing. "GOOD!" She exclaims, grabbing teh remote away from me. "'A Wedding Story' is coming on!" "Ugh" I groan, rolling my eyes. "What?" she askes, not understanding. "Nothing, I'm gonna go over to teh Bilkis." I slam teh door behind me as I rush out teh door "Was it something I said?" I walk over to teh Bilkis as it starts to pour down rain. "Shit!" I start to run teh short distance, bu am still soaked by teh time I make it to teh door. Sophia meets me at teh door. "Hey, what are you doing?" "I was bored, where's Mario?" "He's sparring with Tiki." "Why?" "Well Tiki had to blow off some steam, something about someone trying to steal her boyfriend." "oops, that might be my fault. I kinda paid Satoshi to take Ninamori out, so she would stop bothering me." "What are you talking about, Tiki doesnt even like Satoshi anymore." "But I thought both her and Ninamori were ga-ga over him." "Well I think Tiki is talking about Jim." "But Jim isn't dating anyone, he's still hung up on Ninamori." Ooh, intrigue...

I come home (Willow was with Gren) and go into teh kitchen to find an empty pie plate in teh sink. I look at it quizzically for a moment, then a thought dawns on me. "He didn't..."I rush over to my closet, throw my clothes aside and open teh hidden door. Rei and Kyohei are playing a video game. It sounds to be a racing one, to which Rei is winning (of course) and Kureno is reading. I focus my gaze on Kyohei. "Oh Kyohei!" I say sweetly. "Could you come here a moment, please?"He places teh controller down after Rei pauses teh game. He goes as far as teh chain will allow him. "Yeah?""Did you by chance have anything to eat today?" I ask, my voice still dripping sweetness. I notice Kureno quickly bury his head back into his book and Rei take an extreme interest in something on teh wall. Kyohei stares at me as though I've grown a second head. "Uh... err... ahh..." he manages. "Well then, do you perhaps know what happened to teh pie I had sitting on teh counter cooling? teh strawberry pie?"Kyohei's discomfort level shoots up. "S-strawberry pie, was it? I could have sworn it looked like rhubarb.""Did you eat my strawberry (not rhubarb as you well know) pie?""Not all of it..."[/size] "I'll have you know I baked that pie specifically for Ryo! I would have made a separate one for you if you really wanted one!" I say, trying to control myself. Kyohei was indignant all of a sudden. "Why does he get one?!"I sigh, "Because he was going through a hard time earlier and I wanted to give him something to help set his mind at ease. Besides, I don't know him too well and I thought it would be a nice ice-breaker!"Kyohei look only somewhat sheepish. "Well, why did it hafta be strawberry? Couldn't you have made a cherry or an apple pie or something? It's easier for me to resist those!""Because strawberries are in season! Any you need to learn a little something called 'self-control'!" I say, turning and leaving in a huff, knowing I'd hafta make another one. I close teh door behind me. Kyohei turns to teh two behind him. "Thanks for sticking up for me, guys!""I may be many things, but 'stupid' isn't one of them," Rei remarked. Kureno nodded his head in agreement.[/quote] Bad, BAD Kyohei!!! [I'd say "throw" teh Naughty Bishie to Dee, but he don't "do" minors.......*snicker*]

Shaving period with a mirror is kinda painful. Why do you think they invented aftershave? "True, Young Xer, but I was actually referring to teh embarrassment of accidently poking myself in teh nose with a sharp pair of mustache scissors--NOT exactly "dignified", and RATHER painful, too! *ahem*"
