I knew we were getting something from home but I never expected something like this...  Good thing I just remembered this guy or I'd be really unsure what to do with him. I just hope that me getting Den doesn't mean Granny'll have to worry about both of us.

Good thing I just changed my job to something that pays well. I could cut corners when feeding myself but I can't do that for Den. I'll have to go buy him some dog food and stuff...

Hey, Misa-Misa! Fay! Wanna come meet him sometime? He's really friendly!

[ Filtered to Ed ]
Hey, Ed!!! Guess who just showed up at my place! Do you remember Den?

( 1% from Tanabata spent on Den, who is also her "item" from home.  1% of her leftover memories spent on her Grandmother.  )

[ Winry has just spent the last few days sulking. She hasn't come out of her room much and hasn't talked to anymore. ]

Right... Gotta get out of this slump... Come on, Winry, cheer up!

Sorry if anyone was wondering where I got off to. I'm back and feeling a lot better now! I guess the seasons changing got me in a slump or something. It's getting really hot out too. I wonder what sort of summer games the games club will be doing?
Speaking of, there hasn't been a game in a while, has there? I wonder why....

Hey, Ed, wanna come over for a bit? I, uh, remembered a bit about automail and I think I should give your arm a tune-up! And... I wanted to talk to you about something...

[private; hackable]
I can't believe it... I know I told Al that I wouldn't keep secrets from him anymore... But how can I tell him that? This is such an important memory... but I don't have the heart to tell him about it...

Would Al even want to remember something like this...?
And Ed... I wonder if he remembers too... If he does I can understand why he wouldn't tell Al or I... And I'm afraid to ask him about. I don't think he'd want to remember something like this either...
What should I do?

[ 8% of Winry's leftover 12% of memories spent on completing almost her entire childhood, namely her memories of Trisha dying, Ed and Al going to train with Izumi, the failed transmutation, details about armor Al, the military offer, and Ed getting automail. 15% total, only 13% spent. ]

Ed... Al...

Where am I? I need to switch Ed's bandages... His fever hasn't come down... Al needs some company... Granny will worry... I have to get back...

Someone... I need to get home... Please... Can anyone help me get home? Ed, Al... Please be okay.

( ooc; Winry from right after the failed transmutation. Still figuring out how to spend the 5% )

Hey!  Ed! Al! I got some food for a picnic! Come meet me by the lake, okay? And you'd better not be late!

( mods; umm... subtract 20$ from Winry's account for her cheap picnic? )

FINALLY I've got a room mate! But we haven't really talked yet! So um...
Louise, right?
My name is Winry! It looks like we'll be staying together for a while now! I know I can be a bit messy when I'm working on an invention so sorry about that... But let's be friends, okay?

Hey, Al? I heard there was a games club or something from Rika and that you played. Next time let's both play and drag Ed along.

~filtered to Ed~
Ed~~! I'm sure you know that Al is back by now. He told me you'd mentioned me. He also told me some other stuff about your meeting. So how about you come on over to my place and we have a nice one-on-one conversation regarding your little brother, hmm?
Please keep your automail hand away from your head when you come in. I'll leave the door unlocked but knock so I can take aim get ready, okay?

~filtered to Al~
Are you still doing okay? Have you met your room mate? Let me know if you need anything, okay?

~unfiltered~
Well, spring is certainly getting better! And I'll have my latest invention all ready soon too. I haven't been outside much, though... Time really flies when you're working.  Would anyone know of any good picnic spots? I haven't had a decent walk around since winter so wouldn't know.

[Filtered to Mokona]
Hey, Mokona! Can you come over and do me a little favor? It'll only take about five minutes, I promise. If you want I can make you an apple pie or something as payment.
[/Filtered]

[filtered to Ed]
I remembered something~.
So come over to visit, okay?
We can talk about it... And the boat business too. But mainly this important thing~~.

When you open the door keep your automail arm away from your head, okay? It's really important.
[/filtered]

I can't believe spring is here! I still don't remember any specific springs so I'm definitely looking forward to this. Oh, and speaking of memories~!! I just remembered something great~.

( 1% of her memory spent on the fact Automail exists in her world... The other 1% spent on remembering she's Ed's mechanic.  All 10% now spent.

( Private - Can be Hacked if you're looking for her )

[ Friends of Winry might note she is spending a day sulking. She'll be back and cheerful again when she's done. ]

Being stuck to MisaMisa actually wasn't that bad... The only downside was that I couldn't work but I guess I needed the break anyways...

...
um... By the way... I heard something happened... something bad. Everyone's okay, right?

And um.. on a brighter note... What's this about a Valentines Party? It's probably expensive so I won't be able to go but it does sound interesting.  Is anyone else going?

[filtered to Ed]
Maybe you should invite Al? Not as a date but as an excuse to spend time together... I really want things to go back to the way they were...

So... if you touch someone you get stuck to them? Am I wrong?
I think I'll just stay in my room for a while then... Not that big of a loss. I'm actually in the middle of finishing up my latest invention.

[filtered to Friends]
You're not stuck to anyone, right?

[filtered to Al]
Hey, Al~~. Can you do me a favor sometime? I got a new recipe for apple pie and I need someone to taste test it.  How about we plan a day for you to come over this week? Then I can make the pie fresh.  It'd be a big help. I'll make you a whole lunch if you want.
[/filter]

[filtered to Ed]
You're coming over later this week. I don't care if you have plans already.  The date and time I give you are final. Thanks.

[filtered to everyone but them]
What sort of things do brothers do to bond?
[/filter]

EEEEE~~!! These are the best gifts ever! Thank you so much, everyone!!! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to respond!
"Santa": Aww! Thank you! I'll put this cook book to good use!!
Trunks: Wow!! Thank you! These are perfect!! I'll start using them right away~~!
Medusa: This looks really interesting... Thanks so much! 
Fay: Might as well thank you again.  They're lovely! I'm actually wearing them right now.
Ed: EEEEEEEEEE. I LOVE YOU. Thank you so so sooo much, Ed!!!!!!!!
This might be the only Christmas I remember but it's definitely the best! Thank you so much, everyone!!!

[filtered to Ed]
Ed... Al's here. You noticed, right?
um... Do you want to come over and see the laser...? I need to talk to you... you see um...
I told Al you were his brother... [/filtered]
[filtered to Al]
Hey, Al! Have you been settling in okay? Maybe if you have some free time you can come see my new invention plans. [/filter]

[filtered to Ed]
First Laser is sorta finished. Wanna come over and see if it's worth making the other two?
Plus we need to talk about something I remembered.
[/filtered]

I've got a new job now~! Actually, I'm an independent inventor now~!!! I'm so excited!
But I need things to invent! I can also repair stuff, if that's what you need, or modify them to be more useful.  So anyone needs anything made, fixed, or modified, then please let me know, okay?
THANK YOU~!

[filtered to Trunks]
That also means I won't be a maintenance worker anymore... But if you ever get swamped with work I'm glad to help, free of charge! So don't be afraid to ask, okay?
[/filtered]

(( mods-- Winry probably just spent 300 of the 500 dollars Ed gave her to make the laser. Trial and Error is expensive. Next two will be cheaper. ))

[filtered to Ed]
EDWARD!
Where's Alphonse?!
[/filter]

( 2% spent on remembering Edward and Alphonse as her childhood friends.  She's also remembering most of their happy childhood. )

It's been a while since I had something to actively research.  I mean, automail was fun but there's only so far I can go with only books.  But really Ed... A laser? Do you realize how much apparently goes into these things? And I still have to wonder why you need these things instead of a flashlight... 

But ah well. It's actually pretty interesting.  I just hope the library has all the books I need.

[filtered to Ed]
I can't make any promises that it'll be perfect the first time around but I'll try to have a test model done being the end of the week.
You better thank me.

By the way,  you're gonna come over some time and meet my new friend Misa-Misa.

[filtered to Rika, Mokona, Ed, Trunks, and Fai]

Are you still able to come to my Christmas party? Not to brag or anything but I'm getting really good at making apple pie.

Fai, you're invited too, if you'd like to come!

[/filter]

uck... I don't have much money... I hope I can afford to make good gifts for everyone...

What the heck...?
I could swear that this place was not a fairytale land a few days ago and I definitely did not see any construction work... So how did everything change so fast?

And while I'm on the topic of weird and fast changes, everyone seems to be acting a bit... strange. 
[filtered]
Ed, Trunks, please tell me you guys aren't crazy too.

And Ed, I'm making a lot of progress! I should be able to cook the Christmas dinner right on time! 
[/filter]

Well, the good news is that I worked a lot on my turkey trap! I think I'll make a bigger and better trap if we have a turkey invasion again.

...uh....Bad news is that I'm sort of...sick....from being out in the snow all day... I guess I'm still not dressed for snowy weather....

Edward, don't you dare say a word about me being sick or I will hit you.

Sorry, Trunks, I think I'll be missing work. When I get back I'll work twice as hard!

( Winry will be missing two or three days of work. )

That Thanksgiving holiday has already passed but I think I should still say what I'm thankful for. It's only right, and I do have a lot to be thankful about!

For one, I'm really thankful for Ed, Trunks, Mokona and Kyon. I still don't know many people here but they've been really nice and supportive since I got here. So I'm really glad to have met them!
I'm also really thankful for automail~! It's so amazing and interesting!

So that's that.

On another note. I got a bit bored so I made a new turkey catching machine~! So everyone please be careful not to take any food you see sitting on a rock under a tree! You're free to come be amazed, though.

[ so if you're looking for Winry, she's outside testing her new turkey machine (aka, waiting to trap a turkey), which can be seen under the cut. Mods, please deduct 20$ for Winry's cheap invention. ]
