'you were asleep/unconscious/comatose' prompts
"So, you're finally awake."
"Good of you to join us."
"They don't know you're awake yet. Stay down."
"Oh my god. [Name]? Hi, [name]?"
"Get up. Now."
"I'm not leaving you here. GET UP."
"Hi. How are you feeling?"
"Sleep okay?"
"You know there are, like, actual beds here. You didn't have to take the floor."
"Relax. Nothing happened."
"Thirsty?"
"Can you hear me?"
"How'd you sleep?"
"You absolute fucking idiot."
"How could you be so stupid?"
"You were pretty out of it."
"Relax. We're safe here."
"We're not there yet. Go back to sleep."
"We're about halfway."
"You're on next watch."
"Up and at 'em. We have activity."
"You wanted me to wake you if [x], right? Well, [x]."
Not dead yet but it has been hard getting over here. Trying to work on that
Emma's face lit up as she took the bag, lifting it up and down to examine every inch of it. The wrapping and bow were colorful, so pretty that she felt just a little bad for opening it.
The candy was sweet, but not too sweet, and she savored the feeling of it melting in her mouth. She beamed in approval, but before she could eat another, the postcard snatched her attention instead.
In awe, she ran her hands over the postcard, tracing the colors of the lake, the blues and whites all swirling together. There was a sudden warmth in her chest, envisioning Alphonse and Edward searching shops for this very postcard, just for her.
"It's perfect," Emma murmured before very carefully tucking both away in her bag. It was easy to wrap both arms around Edward’s neck from her position in his arms a bashful smile on her lips. “Thank you...” She gave his neck a squeeze, then let out a small hum as she thought about his question.
"Nothing much. Mr. Mustang's been procrastinating again today so my auntie gave him a longgg lecture." She answered his question with a mischievous giggle. There was something else clearly on her mind, in the way her smile felt the tiniest bit forced and how short her story was from her usual ones
Immediately, the candy seemed to be a good pick, if the way Emma lit up and opened up the bag after inspection was anything to go off of. The postcard seemed equally appreciated though, and that felt even better. It was the part of her gifts he and Al always worked hardest to pick out. Ed smiled and shifted one of his arms to hug her back, "You're welcome, I'll pass along for Al that you liked them too." he promised before he was given the update. A short one, and he managed not to frown if only barely before he snorted, "So he's being as lazy as always, glad to hear nothing's changed there." he'd overheard Hawkeye's lectures first hand and done nothing to hide his amusement when he did. He could imagine the lecture this time went just about as well as the last one.
It was just a small update though, of just for that day by the sounds of it. Usually he would hear about her and Hawkeye, or the rest of the team, or maybe something that had happened in Central that was big enough that Emma had heard about it too. He liked hearing them, that's why Ed always asked, and he remembered being a kid and always feeling excited when grown ups and older kids wanted to hear what he had to say. Sure, Mustang was avoiding doing his paperwork again, but something just seemed off about it, "...what else is going on?" he tried, convinced there had to be something. He didn't want to push Emma too much in case she clammed up, and maybe it was nothing, but with everything else that was happening, Ed had to admit he felt a little string of worry start to weave through his head.
Nothing happened while he and Al were gone, right? Nothing serious?

Greed took the time to give Den some scritches behind her ear when she came into the kitchen. "Anything will be better than having nothing to do." Maybe they'd go to a place he had never been before that he could explore while Ed did his thing. Though he was hoping to leave Amestris for a while. It wasn't as if he needed Ed to do so, but Greed also didn't want to go by himself. Maybe at some point, he'd see what Darius and Heinkel were up to a make a trip with them. "It's gotta be better than being bored out of my mind."
At this point, he'd take whatever he could get, and maybe Ed would want to have some fun when he wasn't researching. Greed could probably convince Ed to go out with him at least one or two nights. Maybe have some dinner and see what was out there.
"You know me, I'm not easy to catch," he said with a grin. He'd stay out of trouble mostly. Though he wouldn't make a promises not to bend the law a little while they were out and about. He'd just make sure it was nothing he'd get caught for. "I wouldn't mind jumping around towns if you're up for it." Sure they could wait, but if Ed was willing to go sooner, Greed would take him up on it. "Maybe we could have some fun and unwind before you get balls deep in your research. Might be good for you to have a little fun first."
Not easy to catch was one way to put it, and Greed had proven that several times over. Ed had seen it first hand and done plenty of evading himself too, multiple times. Anything from sneaking through labs to through a town, but Greed may have more experience overall. He seemed to also have experience with restlessness and that one Ed could relate to, but he narrowed his eyes slightly with suspicion, "I know how to have fun and unwind." he defended. A lot of it was still tied to a book of some kind, or walking around outside to enjoy the air, and the festivals that happened in town through the seasons were nice to join in on again. A nice nostalgia and reminder of things being easy and that they were still easy and relaxed. And okay sure, maybe that wasn't everyone's idea of what fun was but it worked for Ed fine.
And he wasn't sulking at the implication that he didn't know how to have fun at all, he was just frowning, and a little insulted. That was all.
"If you wanna jump towns though for a couple of days I can get tickets to the next town to leave day after tomorrow." the train always ran twice a day that far. Once that and once back, a round trip would take at least half the day so it worked out for most of the people going between the two places. It helped keep things feeling peaceful as well, without the trains constantly running and exactly one track in and the same one back out. It was also probably part of what had Greed so bored if Ed had to guess. No new people coming through, no new businesses or other establishments going up to hang up. Just a bunch of woods, farm, and sheep, "But yeah, I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't okay with the side stops. I don't know how much more they have than Resembool at least for the first one or two, but it's some variety at least." he assured, "I'm sure we've got a spare bag around you can borrow to pack if you want."

"Alchemy, huh? That's a neat hobby you got there. Can't say I hear that everyday." Hughes grinned and took another sip of coffee. He sat back more comfortably in his chair and set the mug down near a framed photo of his wife and daughter. One of the many that he'd become notorious for around campus. He always seemed to have at least one photo on him at all times. There were three framed photos standing on his desk, the background on his laptop when he projected his screen onto the canvas was a smiling family photo, and it wasn't unheard of for him to start a lecture with a photo or story about his precious daughter. Especially on a Monday when he'd had a full weekend with his family, much to the chagrin of some of his exhausted students. Hughes, on the other hand, seemed to be particularly invigorated if he started a morning lecture that way.
He listened amicably as Ed explained his journey toward the forensics field and his uncertainty toward where it would lead him. When he'd finished, Hughes leaned forward again and rested an elbow on his desk. "Sometimes the field just picks you no matter what your original intent was. But if your interest stems from biology and chemistry, you've got options. So here's what I'm thinking." He folded his hands, one finger pointing towards Ed. "Over the course of the year, I want to try to give you a little bit of insight into different career paths. Before I came to work here, I worked crime scenes, but if you're more interested in lab work, we can talk about that, too. Like I said, you don't have to decide right now. If you want to learn a little about everything, there's plenty of time. Just something to think about. If something ends up standing out to you, we can talk more about it, or I can talk to someone on my old team to see if they've got a few minutes to tell you more about what they do. Sound like a plan?"
It was a familiar, unsurprised, and honestly still tired smile that Ed managed with the reaction to alchemy being mentioned, "Yeah I hear it surprise people a lot." and had others write it off just as quickly. In a few cases, people had asked if he meant the science of the whole new age reading of it and at least that was an easy answer. He couldn't really describe how he got into it but it had just felt so obvious to him. So plain that yeah, of course he'd have been interested in the old science that was practically non-existent in today's world. It was another way of trying to understand things, break things down to their baser parts and combine them to create new things. How could Ed not want to look at that in relation to the other sciences he already studied? Sure, the methods and theories were all proven wrong by now, and there were a list of very simple reasons why you couldn't just turn things into gold, but it was fascinating all the same.
He was just glad his professor wasn't writing him off for it. Telling him there were better things he should be spending his time and energy on.
The rest of the response to his own explanation was listened to as closely as Ed could manage in his current, half-caffeinated state. He did remember Professor Hughes mentioning working in the field, in Ed's opinion that just made him an even better professor for the topic, answering questions clearly and giving solid examples of whatever they were currently going over. An unwelcome lurch came at his stomach at the idea of being at an actual scene and he nodded, "Yeah I think I'd rather stay somewhere in a lab than actually go out somewhere. If I can help it." he wasn't sure that he couldn't handle seeing a body, if he really needed to, but seeing an empty scene covered in blood or knocked over furniture from a struggle was going to be a lot harder in person than through pictures for class. Being in the middle of it again...
He pushed the idea aside and nodded, "Yeah, that sounds great, actually. I'm fine with taking other classes to get a better idea of what there might be." Ed already had a couple of classes he was looking at that sounded interesting to continue with the major, "So, take a few other classes to get a better idea and keep touching base with you on who it goes, right? I can do that."

When Edward asks him that question, Charles nods. "I never forget a child." And it's the whole truth. Charles cares for all of them, even the ones that end up not coming with him. These kids... they all show up on his path for a reason. Nobody pulls their attention by having a fulfilling and happy life without struggles. Even the kids that had their families supporting them didn't come to them for no reason. He had dedicated his whole life to helping these children.
"You might not be interested, but this school won't have you anymore." He speaks then. It's harsh, probably, but it's true. "And neither will any other school, more than likely. Not after this. It may sound unfair, but those teachers aren't equipped to help you with this, and thus risk their school and students by admitting you. It's not a pretty fact, but it is still a fact. We can help you. I know this, because we have helped countless other children in your position." Charles speaks. It's no commercial. It's no plot to get more students and thus more money. He has enough of that. He wants to help and at this point, he's half convinced he's the only one that can.
"I know you're worried about your brother... He'd be allowed to join you." Hey - he'd considered opening up the school to humans as well before, and these two were clearly inseparable for good reason. "I don't see any reason to deny him."
The snort that left him was disbelieving at best, and Ed didn't relax so much as a fraction. Right, because some kid who turned down the offer for a fancy, private school for mutants would be remembered. Like that didn't just leave a spot open for some other kid who probably needed it even more to take instead. There were probably dozens, hundreds just in his state alone that were like him needing help. No one could remember them all, no one could be blamed for it either, and Ed didn't either. He just hated that Xavier was right, and he already knew that but didn't really want it pointed out either. Xavier said it himself....Ed was a risk, which he also didn't enjoy hearing pointed out but he bristled again when Al was mentioned, "You leave him out of this." quick, defensive, protective. He kept his arms crossed, "He's got nothing to do with what happened and he's-"
'-normal'
"-got friends and programs here he's in. I'm not going to take him away from things and-
'-ruin his life, make him hate me'
"-make him go somewhere else just because I might have to change schools." because he did have to change schools, because students there weren't safe with him and teachers couldn't handle him just if he had another "incident" there. Because he didn't really have a choice at the end of the day and he felt backed into a corner. Because people were scared of mutants and Ed was still keeping half an eye on the window, waiting to see flashing lights coming. Waiting to see them at his own home if they didn't show up there. Hoping he didn't already make things harder for Al having him for a brother all thanks to a few jerks who thought it was funny a kid was gasping without an inhaler and no one else would do anything about it. Because they wanted to laugh and mock him and none of the adults around wanted to act like they noticed anything, and none of the other students were doing anything, and Fletcher was scared and Russel was gone and when they wouldn't back off and kept going even when Ed got in the way. Even when the first hits were dealt out between them all, even when he broke the nose of one and started pushing himself back up to hit another and was listening to Fletcher gasp and wheeze behind him and his own brother might not even be safe with him on the wrong day---
---It was like a ripple across the back of the chair, past the cotton and the polyester of his shirt and his jacket and reaching down to the fibers of the cushion. Down to the wooden frame that suddenly bowed as Ed leaned against it. Like it was trying to be an exit for something that for one moment felt like it could crack open again. He was too wound up, too on edge, and stressed and angry and scared, and it all felt like it had no where else to go. Like it was buzzing and restless right under his skin and screaming the compounds of everything around him that he could touch like it was an outlet...and it felt like just proving why no one wanted him to stay there anymore.
'-calm down, calm down, fucking calm down--'

🐝 * ― 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒. ( random assortment of sentences that can but don’t have to be used for muses meeting each other for the first time. feel free to adjust to better fit your muses. )
❛ i know we only just met but i already feel like i’ve known you my whole life. ❜ ❛ umm, is this seat taken ? ❜ ❛ don’t be alarmed now but there’s someone following you. pretend you know me and come with me. i’ll get you somewhere safe. ❜ ❛ my friends ditched me here and now i could really use a ride home. ❜ ❛ i don’t think we’ve met yet but you looked like you needed someone to talk to. ❜ ❛ can you please pretend to be my boyfriend / girlfriend for a moment so my ex will leave me alone ? ❜ ❛ are you always this straightforward with strangers ? ❜ ❛ here, i noticed you lost this earlier. ❜ ❛ i’m sorry, i must’ve mistaken you for somebody else. ❜ ❛ so, what brings you here today ? ❜ ❛ hi, my name is [name]. it’s nice meeting you. ❜ ❛ you’re cute. how about i buy you a drink ? ❜ ❛ can’t you watch where you are going ?! ❜ ❛ i just moved into the apartment next to you, so i guess we’re gonna be neighbors now. ❜ ❛ oh god, you’re [name], aren’t you ? ❜ ❛ here, let me help you. ❜ ❛ is there a reasons you’re here on your own ? ❜ ❛ apparently we’re going to be working on this together now. ❜ ❛ you look like you could use a hand with that. ❜ ❛ what do people around here do to have some fun ? ❜ ❛ looks like this will take a while, huh ? ❜ ❛ oh god. please tell me you haven’t just heard me talk to myself. ❜ ❛ excuse me, i think i’m lost. ❜ ❛ i just wanted to say that i really like your outfit. ❜ ❛ do you come here often ? ❜ ❛ do you mind if i join you for a bit ? ❜ ❛ you looked lonely so i got you a drink. ❜ ❛ i don’t think we’ve met, i’m [name]. ❜ ❛ what the hell just happened there ? ❜ ❛ have you seen this anywhere ? i must’ve lost it. ❜ ❛ can i please use your phone ? i have to call someone to get me out of here. ❜ ❛ seems like we’re gonna be spending a lot of time together. ❜ ❛ come with me, and don’t ask any questions. it’s urgent. ❜ ❛ i heard strange noises coming from your apartment and just wanted to make sure everything is alright. ❜ ❛ i have a spare ticket, you wanna come in with me ? ❜ ❛ you don’t know me but will you be my date for tonight ? ❜ ❛ we’ve got some time to kill so why don’t you tell me a little about yourself ? ❜ ❛ i don’t usually just walk up to strangers but my friends set me up to it. ❜ ❛ i think our orders may have gotten mixed up. ❜ ❛ do i have something on my face or why do you keep looking at me like that ? ❜
The student before Ed couldn't have been running on more than half a night's sleep the way she'd drained the coffee Hughes always had on hand but forgot the half-empty cup he'd refilled when she left. Well, he had asked her to come in at 8:30 the day before the year's first major assignment was due, so it should have been expected. But he was of the opinion that early hours like this would come with working in the actual field, so starting the day on your feet during a meeting was just the first step to getting used to the job.
He jotted down a few notes on a pad of paper so that he could follow up with her the next time they met and reached for the leftover paper cup to set it out of the way for now. He'd dump it down the sink later on his way to class. But a knock and a familiar voice drew his attention to the door, and he set everything aside to keep his full focus on his next student.
"Ed! Come right in. Take a seat. I'd offer you a coffee, but looks like you came prepared." Hughes raised his own slightly cold mug a few inches off the desk in a lighthearted toasting gesture. He'd poured himself his first round of the day at the beginning of his first meeting and had been nursing it slowly throughout the conversation. Admittedly, he would have gone through it faster if the conversation had been a little less involved, but there had been a lot to get through in a half an hour. But there was still enough keeping warm in the coffee pot behind him that there would be plenty more through the day for him and his students as necessary.
After a quick sip of coffee, he set his mug back down and turned a smile towards Ed. "So I know it's still a little early to need anything set in stone, but I just wanted to check in to see if you have any thoughts about where you wanted to go with this once you're out in the field. I've got a few ideas we can talk about throughout the year if you're still figuring that out, but I want to make this work for you."
There were a lot of ways that he could see this working out, but he wanted to focus on what was best for Ed's interests and strengths. "It's alright if you're still working on that plan, but I'll be honest, Ed, you've got a real knack for this. I've been impressed by your performance and really think you'll be able to go as far with this as you set your mind to."
The door was pushed open enough that Ed could slip inside and shut it behind him again, appreciating that if he didn't have coffee some would have been offered to him. Even before he saw the brewing pot he could smell more being made, "First spot I hit when I got to campus, I'm not usually great with mornings." he admitted, moving to take a seat and shrugging his bag off to sit on the floor next to him. Half tempted to slump back and let himself be as tired as he felt, forcing himself to actually sit mostly upright instead. Though leaning heavily on one armrest of the chair, which felt pretty reasonable to do. Nursing a few slow sips of his own drink as Hughes explained the point of the meeting in the first place. It was about what he expected, but Ed was a little surprised to hear that this soon his professor already thought that he'd be good at this. He was happy to hear it, relieved, but for as well as he usually took to sciences it was still a whole other area he never really had gone near before.
"I kinda don't know where to start actually." he blurted then, because he had nothing else to answer the question with and was too tired to try and scrape a better one together, "I was always reading about physics and chemistry growing up, some biology even. Or old stuff about alchemy but that's not really a study anymore." it was basically early chemistry in a way, plus or minus some occult beliefs and mysticism but Ed still latched onto it, "I thought I'd always go towards one of those majors when I got here, even looked at the different programs for all of them and worked out what I might want to do depending on which one I ended up picking. The first forensics class I thought was just going to be an elective credit filled but now..." he shrugged slightly, "Now I guess I don't really know what to start with. I know the basic idea of what jobs are out there but not much more than that. I know the stuff they show on TV isn't anything like what it actually is, but it feels like I'm in a completely new area that's still weirdly familiar at the same time."
Decay rates and analyzing a substance to its foundational elements, velocity and force and why a spray would look the way it did. There were whole classes about the medical forensics side of things even. Everything was there, the same things he'd been drawn to all these years. It was just all showing up in ways Ed hadn't looked at using it before, and it had opened doors that he hadn't even really noticed were there in the first place, "So, I guess I don't really have a plan with how to really keep going with this at my major." because he was sure this was the one he wanted, Ed was positive of it. He just had no idea what to do now that he had picked it.
