Today at work, five separate people asked if I was going to apply for the supervisor position that has just recently opened up. Five. On one hand, that's a significant ego boost. On the other, no way in the seven hells am I going to do that. I rather like where I'm at right now, and it's just not worth the stress or the fact that I'd lose out on my commission. Plus, I'm not enough of a people person for that job. Yeesh.
In other news, walked outside and it was all BAM. SUMMER. Humidity dropped on us like a ton of bricks. Bleaugh. But it's back to rain and storms and 60-degree weather here in a few days! Thinking about starting to build my own ark.
Anyway, interactive meme time. Pick a character I've written and I'll tell you five things from my personal head-canon about them. (Hoping this might trigger the writing itch, since I've got stories in my head but they don't seem to be interested in coming out just yet.)

1. He can speak & read both Japanese and English fluently, and he knows enough Mandarin to get by as needed. His English is a hell of a lot less formal than his Japanese, and that comes in part from starting to learn the language from late-night B-monster movies.
2. He's been to modern Japan several times since he has been "revived." The first time he managed to get lost in the subway system for several hours. (Ed will never let him forget this.)
3. His current sakabatou was forged by a descendant of Hattori Hanzo. It's kept in the dojo on the grounds of the Kansaki Sou, because he can't exactly go out into society as is wearing a sword, he'd get dogpiled.
4. He rides a dark red Kawasaki motorcycle which he
stole"borrowed" from Kennichi.5. Kenshin picked up a part-time job in a used bookshop in town because he was bored and sick of playing "house mother" to everyone else.

Also, Nick, but Nick stands by his position firmly that HE IS NOT AN ED, DAMMIT.
In conclusion, holy shit. (And that also doesn't take into account the versions of Ed that all ended up rolled into musebox!Ed, including the RK02 one.)

How about a one-(or two-)liner about each?

I've heard the least about tincan!Ed and WR!Ed. 30's Gangster!Ed just sounds cool.

I SHALL HAVE TO PONDER THIS WHEN WE ARE NOT-AS-BUSY. Stay tuned.

1. Is very, very self-conscious about being a suit of armor.
2. Feels that Al should have just let him die instead of bringing him back because the whole thing was his idea (and thus fault) in the first place. (Ed's epic guilt complex: let me show it to you!)
3. Has a horrible tendency to just wander off when Al isn't paying attention.
4. Reads everything. EVERYTHING. He doesn't have to sleep, he reads EVERYTHING.
5. Is constantly re-homing kittens that Alphonse brings back to the room with him.
WR!Ed:
1. Is searching for his Al, they were separated when they were cubs.
2. It's just him and Roy roaming the barren plains currently.
3. Technically, in this universe they don't have any surnames.
4. Ed is very, very, very protective of Roy even though he's the smaller of the pair. (Roy is a little amused at this.)
5. Unlike most wolves, Ed's eyes are the same color in his human & canine forms.
30's Gangster!Ed:
1. Gets called "Eddie" occasionally by Mustang, rages.
2. Has a fondness for smashing in windows with a crowbar.
3. For someone so small, is often used as the muscle in Mustang's operation.
4. Not Allowed To Drive, Ever.
5. Will not use a gun if he can get away with it, prefers a knife or his trusty crowbar.
WHEW! You had to pick difficult ones. XD

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
Rian:
1. Actually doesn't cook all that well at all. He's just better at it than Ed. (They eat out a lot.)
2. Anthony accidentally set fire to his hair when they were both ten.
3. Grew his hair out when he was on that diplomatic mission to Xing because he blended in better with long(ish) hair, but cut it before he came back on Al's advice. (Al figured the height was gonna be a shock enough to Ed's system, hahahaha.)
4. Reads a lot of science fiction & fantasy books and geeks out about them occasionally with Sheska.
5. Mildly allergic to cats.
Sariel!Ed:
1. Very first time he flew by himself (no guidance from original!Sariel) flew face-first into a wall. There were no witnesses and he will forever deny it but there's an Ed-faceprint halfway up a building somewhere in Central.
2. Is the only archangel who primarily relies on a spear instead of a sword. (Although he has one, he rarely uses it.)
3. According to him, the best thing that came out of this whole mess is the time he's gotten to spend with Roy in their tiny cabin in the woods; before the conflict with the nephilim really gets under way.
4. The only nephilim he really knows is Aariniel, and he doesn't get along with her that well - precisely because she's very much like Sariel, and thus, very much like Ed.
5. Keeps an eye on Al's kids as they grow up. And their kids, too.
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
3. FFFFF. RIAN. WHY. OMIGOD. OMIGOD YOU DID THIS ON PURPOSE DIDN'T YOU *finds pencil and paper*
4. Ed sort of did too, makes sense because we are raising Rian in Ed's image hur
5. ACHOO SNF
1. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
2. weirdos
3. pillows
5. fd;ugsuhsdvga'rieoj ;;_;;
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
3. SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT HAHAHAHAHAHAHA~ x3
4. True, but Ed has a ... disdain for fiction. Rian, on the other hand, would be the geek with a wall full of sci/fi paperbacks if he could get away with it.
5. *hanky*
1. I imagine there was a "splat" sound.
2. Yup, hah.
3. They have a LOT of pillows. Ed should make some money selling pillows.
5. And this is why I haven't linked you this one fic yet. >_>;
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
2. FFFF HELP, HE, OH GOD, really hooot
3. ...so it's actually a good thing Ed has an apartment covered with books? Because otherwise it would be an apartment covered with Rian's books.
5. Rian: *squints at cat*
Cat: *squints back and trots away*
1. AND HE'LL NEVER TELL ANYONE, though some residents were like, "why does it look like a bird exploded here?"
5. OH OH CRAP ;;_;; Y-YOU MEAN? Like, there is more to this punch in the gut?
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
4. Let's just say I am impressed at the both of them that their apartment didn't turn out like Sheska's with the roaming, shifting towers of books waiting to consume the unwary.
5. He is just MILDLY allergic so it's not too bad. He just avoids them if he can. And of course when they visit Al all the cats that run in and out of that house CONVERGE on Rian because THEY LOVE HIM SO MUCH. Rian: *sneeze* Ed: D: ARE YOU GETTING SICK I MUST TEND TO YOU.
1. IRL cackle. Scared my cat.
5. Just a leeeeettle bit.
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
4. LMAO, Al's cats, OF COURSE. And of course Rian has to be buried in cats. YES. AND OF COURSE ED IS A BIG MOTHER HEN. This makes having cats all worth it.
Mental image: Al sleeping with his cats at some unspecified hour
YES
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
Bahaha Al sleeping covered in cats. Winry acquiesced to ONE cat. There are now like fifteen, because Al's not going to not feed random strays who come up to the door. They are all outside-cats though, Winry draws the line at indoor cats.
Ed in mother-hen mode is both terrifying and hilarious, FYI.
Re: CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
ED CAN BE A MOTHER HEN it probably just looks really weird. Tsundere.
