How in the world had an explosive gotten this far into the building!?

Moving faster than a man of his stature had any right to, the major drove his fist into the floor, activating the transmutation circle on his gauntlet and encasing the bomb in a shell of reinforced concrete. There was a dull thud as it exploded, shaking the shell and sending cracks shooting through it, but the bulk of the damage had been contained.

"Is anyone hurt!? Where are the sentries!?"

Is is okay to send meta/ooc asks? I just want to say your tags are DELIGHTFUL! "I mustache you a question" has me smiling SO MUCH

((Of course! Just as long as nobody expects an IC answer, lol. Sometimes it's nice to peel back the curtain, and honestly, logging in to find this completely made my day. I'm glad you enjoy my tags!

Funny story: when I was setting them up, I begged my friends for other ideas, but they all liked the stupid pun the best and so it stayed. X3))

But no it cracks me up that Arakawa said Amestris doesn’t have Christmas and Valentines day

but then gave us MEAT DAY

And like I haven’t done a thorough check but it’s possible this is the only canon Amestrian holiday. Combine this with mammoth meat being a thing you can just buy it’s frankly AMAZING.

Pick 3, Write 3

Pick three icons at random and then write lines corresponding with each one.

“...Let’s talk about something else. I don’t think it would be prudent to discuss that here.”

“There’s no shame in crying, you know! Tears are just the emotions that are too strong to be held back!”

“Very well, I’ll admit it: I did not see that one coming.”

what is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

He stopped to think for a moment.

"...Green tea, though peach-lavender is a close second."

[strong-arm-armstrong-archived24]

[pets your head] smoooooooooth

Alex did not seem to mind the attention in the slightest.

"Magnificent, isn't it? Never let anyone tell you that less hair is less beautiful-- or less work! I put a lot of effort into making sure everything is perfect, so I can serve as a shining example to people just like you!"

What a ham.

[strong-arm-armstrong-archived24]

if I beat you at arm wrestling would that make you an Armweak?

A peal of merry laughter rumbled like thunder from his chest.

"I see what you've done there, stranger. But no, it would not make me an Armweak; it would simply make you a worthy challenger!"

Clementine kept her seat on the floor as they road the train. She was a lot calmer now, so being still shouldn’t be too much of a problem for her, now that she actually knew where she was going…sort of. 

She brought her attention back to Armstrong, still smiling at the title he gave her. But the mention of bags confused the rag doll for a second. Thinking he meant her bunny backpack, she slipped it off her shoulders and handed it up to him. “Here you go.”

He stared at her blankly for a moment, then carefully took the tiny bag. It wasn’t quite what he had meant, but it was still the polite thing to do; besides, a paranoid little voice in his head told him it would be easier to keep her close if he had her things, as she would be less likely to leave without them. He hated thinking that way, and he doubted she was a flight risk, but unfortunately it came with the job.

With the bunny bag secured, he stood to collect his own belongings: his suitcase, jacket, and hat. The train rolled to a halt just as he had finished buttoning his top button, and as he shifted the bags to one hand, he made to offer Clementine his other. Upon doing so, he was once again struck by just how tiny she was... it would be very easy for them to get separated at a busy train station.

He opted to scoop her up instead, carefully placing her on one of his broad shoulders as he rumbled, “Up you go, little miss.”

Maes: If I run and jump at Alex, he will most certainly catch me in his arms.

Maes: INCOMING! [Sprints and leaps at Alex]

Alex: Wait, no! I’m holding coffee!

Alex: [Drops coffee and catches Maes] [Coffee cup smashes on the ground]

@sewn-cutie continued from here (x)

With the matter of names settled, all that was left was the matter of luggage. The train was due to pull into the station any minute now, and he wanted to make sure they disembarked as expeditiously as possible so he would be able to pick up the phone when it rang; it wouldn’t do to leave his commanding officer calling back until they reached the right person.

“Do you have any bags stored on board, Miss Clementine?” he asked. His own suitcase was stored in the compartment overhead.

[strong-arm-armstrong-archived24]

sewn-cutie​:

The little girl blinked at his response, not quite sure how to react. She was glad that he seemed fine for the most part, but her head titled with questioning. “I…do?” She doubted there was anyone similar to her…right?-

Her train of thought was thankfully interrupted at his sudden show of liveliness. It took her a second to readjust to his change, but as soon as she caught up, a large grin appeared. Her rush of excitement overshadowing all her doubts and nerves just moments ago. “Really? I can?!”

Wanting to return the greeting, Clementine attempted to stand up again, her body teetering at the train’s movements. It took her a minute or two to gain enough footing so she could perform a clumsy curtsy in his direction. “My name is Clementine. It’s nice to meet you Mr. Major Alex Loui-oh!” Her legs buckled as the train made a turn, catching herself by placing her hands on his leg again. She straighten her posture, looking up at her new traveling companion to finish. “Mr. Major Alex Louie Armstrong!”

Alex inhaled sharply.

That.

Was.

Adorable.

He laughed a deep, rumbling, belly laugh, startling some of the other passengers. “Well now, Miss Clementine, all of that is a bit of a mouthful.” Good gracious, even his name was too big for her! “Just Major is fine, or Mr. Armstrong, if you prefer.”

“The future doesn’t scare me at all,” the major rumbled to himself, matching the rumble of the train along the tracks. He was dressed in civilian clothes, watching the landscape fly by outside the window on his way from Central to who-knows-where; he would be switching trains at the next station, acting on instructions he would receive by pay phone.
