Mercury Alchemist Q&A
#1
Hey guys! I was surprised that about 10 questions were already turned in about a few hours after the latest chapter came in. O_O But these guys are the ones that didn't want me to say their names... just a random name they came up with so you won't look for them on the site. Guess they were a little bit curious about what will happen in this Q&A... Don't really know many people who do that except one person from wattpad and a few old friends of mine back when quizilla was still open.
Me: Today we'll be accompanied by Alice-
Ali: Hi guys!
Me: Lucas-
Lu: Sup ladies~ *winks*
Me: Ugh... And last but not, the titular character herself from Mercury Alchemist- Catherine Cairo!
Cat: Nice to see you guys!
Me: Now I understand if you guys feel a little awkward to answer questions for the first time. Trust me the old characters felt the same way-
Lu: Are there any questions asking me if I can guess anyone's bra size?
all girls: -_- ...
Lu: What?
Me: Lucas just... shut up alright?
Cat: Yeah Luke Skywalker, you wouldn't want to lose any fangirls after appearing two times. *snickers*
Lu: That'll never leave me... will it?
Ali: Sorry Lucas... but you asked for it the moment you groped Cat... ^^;
Lu: That was an accident! I already told you guys it was purely unintentional for me to do that! Besides, you guys know I wouldn't do that to my friend.
Cat: Aw Lucas that's-
Lu: She's too tomboyish for me anyway.
Cat: -_-* Permission to drown him?
Me: No Cat you can't.. I think you should keep that to yourself Lucas...
Question #1
Me: Anyway, the first question belongs to someone who requested to be called... fartbubble's?
Cat: ... Are you reading that right?
Me: Yep... there's the apostrophe right there.
Ali: That's a nice choice for a name...?
Me: Ahem! Alright so they asked you Alice, how long exactly has you liked Alphonse?
Cat: Has...?
Me: Ok I'll correct the guy! Sheesh...How long exactly HAVE you like Alphonse?
Cat: That's a pretty steep one...
Ali: Oh I know this one! I was about 7 years old when I first fell in love with that cute little face?
Lu: Which one? The helmet or when he was a kid?
Cat&Me: Lucas!
Lu: What? Just saying...
Cat: And no you're wrong Alice. I've known you since I was five years old, so I know exactly how old you were when you developed your crush for the boy.
Me: Note that the year they were sent to Amestris was back in 2010 (the timeline in the story). I dare you guys to use your calculators to guess how old she was...
Cat: I was found on May 21, my birthday, and I was around 5 at the time. Alice was four that year and her birthday is November 19, 1999.
Ali: ...
Lu: Wait a second there- *calculates* You were four years old!?
Ali: He's cute to me back then... now he's hot.
Cat: O_o Uh Alice, I think that inventor brain of yours is starting to preference metal men over ACTUAL boys. No offense Al...
Ali: Alright I had a crush on him since I was four! I'm fourteen now! That doesn't give you the right to judge me like that...
Cat: And there you have it folks! Alice here has been crushing on Al for 10 years straight since the very first episode of FMA 2003 came out.
Question #2
Me: Okay next question! This is from someone who wanted me to address him as... hopewasherefan008... Oh! This must be an old fan of hopewashere04! If you guys know her Happy Potter fanfic 'A Collision with Hope' then you all can guess who's been my inspiration for years.
Cat: Hello~! The question?
Me: Ah right! This is for all three of you apparently. He says, 'I noticed you guys are like the gender bend versions of Ed, Al, and Winry. Personality wise I mean... Could you possibly be them from the other side?'
Ali, Cat & Lu: What!? *blushes*
Cat: Woah woah woah! WOAH! That's just sick!
Ali: Me and Al may be sort of similar in some ways, but there is no way I would fall for such a sweet guy even if that were true!
Lu: It's like saying that we're in love with ourselves! Okay that can be possible... but that's also saying I'd be crushing on Al just because he's the boy version of Alice in this world!
Cat&Ali: Ew...
Me: Dude that's just wrong... even for you... a pervert...
Question #3
Me: This one seems pretty normal. This is for Cat only.
Cat: Ok shot!
Me: Um... Pffft! Alice you read it... she won't react as badly if it's you.
Alice: What do you mean by-? *stares at the paper* Oh... Hey Lucas! Can you read this question to Cat for me pretty please?
Lu: Anything for you!
Me: -_-; He still has a thing for you?
Ali: Pretty much... ^^;
Lu: Alrighty then! Let's see... Cat-
Cat: Hm?
Lu: Are you and Ed going to date and then marry each other anytime soon?
Cat: -_- ...
Me&Ali: O_O|||
Lu: ^^ What?
Cat: *punches Lucas 10 feet up in the air*
Me: To the one who sent this question- I will not mention your name here so Cat won't take her anger out on you in later chapter of Mercury Alchemist... ^^|||
Ali: I think that's for the best...
Question #4
Me: This one is a better question for Cat than the last one. From FMAFan**** (Sorry he/she didn't want me to tell you which number ^^)- Cat, you don't need to clap nor do you need a transmutation circle. All you have to do is make a certain motion and use alchemy. My question is, why do you still clap sometimes during a transmutation?
Cat: It's pretty simple actually. It just doesn't feel right whenever I'm forced to use hand or feet motion whenever I get in a tight situation when it comes to a certain fight. Placing my hand together is much more convenient. Plus, I guess you can say I got into the habit of using that method instead of doing it the 'easy way'. Besides it'd be like showing off with alchemy that's entirely different from what everyone else uses... I don't want to be the one to destroy Ed's pride before Al does.
Ali: Oh right...
Lu: I don't know what's going on at this point...
Cat: Just shut the fuck up Lucas. -_-*
Lu: What are you getting mad at me for!?
Me: She's still pissed at you earlier. ^^;
Lu: I only read a question Alice told me to read out loud!
Final Question
Me: There are about 5 more questions, but we just wanted to get the ones who didn't want their names mentioned out of the way first. I just didn't have to constantly point out who wants their ACTUAL usernames to be mentioned due to either being shy or just for privact issues. Which I can respect so don't worry. :) And those who are just really open and don't mind for their names to be mentioned, whether it's their real name or simply their current user name.
Cat: So what's the question this guy wants to ask?
Lu: Hm... hey it's for me! Doesn't want me to call him anything though...
Ali: I'm a little scared...
Cat: Yeah, if it's a question for that pervert I doubt it's a serious on.
Me: Y-Yeah...
Lu: Will you guys just quit it! Ugh... 'To my favorite ultra hot mechnanic-'
AllGirls: Liar. -_-
Lu: TT_TT Will you guys quit it already!?
Cat: Can you not read what's obviously a lie about you? Besides the mechanic part...
Lu: Well what do what me to call myself then? That's what this person called me so-
Me: Liar.
Ali: It's a complete lie.
Lu: You're so cruel! And why Alice too!?
Cat: Just get on with it! Here! *takes the paper* How... about... this! *hands it back*
Lu: Um... *reads* 'To my favorite pink haired Sakura Haruno wannabe pervert who reads-' What the hell did you call me Cat!? I don't read any of that $%^ and #$%&*! Sakura is hot so I'll let it go by that much...
Cat&Ali: *backs away*
Lu: I give up! 'To my favorite ultra hot mechanic, Lucas, which is longer in your opinion? Sephiroth's sword or yours? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
AllGirls: ...
AllBoys: OOOOOOOHHHHH!
Me: Get out of here! Stupid Regular Shows fanboys... no offense to those who are actual fans of that show, but that 'OH' thing gets really annoying when it's a big group doing it.
Lu: ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Well my friend it's pretty obvious that-
Me&Cat: DON'T ANSWER THAT!
Ali: ... I don't get it.
Cat: I think that's for the best...
Me: And that is all the questions we'll be answering for this Q&A! Thank you for participating and I hope more questions will come in while we answer the remaining five. Now I know this is a weird thing for a writer, such as myself, for me to do. But I felt that it should be nice to ask my characters and connect with them in ways you aren't able to when it comes to the story itself.
Cat: Isn't there one for you?
Me: Yeah but...
Lu: *Snatches it away*
Me: Hey! Give it back! *jumps*
Lu: Sorry author-san! Even though you're 17 now... the appearance you chose from the start since you became a writer, is still that of a 12 year old to us.
Me: Hey! It's not my fault you're all giants! Well two of you at least...
*takes a few moments for Cat to notice*
Cat: Don't call me small!
Me: Ugh... let's just get it over with.
Lu: What's your height in real life?
Everyone: ...
Me: ^^* Hah?
Lu: What's your-
Me: *punches* You don't have to repeat it!
Ali: At least we can all see where Cat got her height issues from...
Cat: Shut it!
Me: Listen whoever the fuck asked me my height-
Ali: *picks up paper* RandomGuy
Me: -_-||| Eh?
Cat: That's the name he wants us to call him... RandomGuy.
Me: Listen hear RandomGuy... I don't know who you are... but I do have a very particular set of skills-
Cat: That's copyrighting.
Ali: Definitely copyrighting.
Me: Skills I have acquired over a very long period of time during my high school years.
Lu: Now she's just making that part up.
Me: *punches Lucas again without looking* Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you If you want to ask about my height run now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you ask again, I will find you, and I will make sure you will forever lose the ability to have children.
Ali: Ah she snapped and became Liam Neeson.
Cat: Can we just say our good byes already...?
Everyone: Thank you guys for reading this Q&A!
Cat: We hope to hear more questions in the future!
Lu: Please Fav or follow the story. It would mean a lot to not only us, but our dear author.
Ali: Hope you guys will continue to follow out adventures till the very end!
Me: Here goes nothing... I do not own FMA. All right belong to Hiromu Arakawa-sensei, whom I thank for creating such a beautiful manga that all of us have come to love. Please R&R! And we'll see you in the next chapter and Q&A!
Everyone: Bye bye! And have a merry christmas!
