I have a LEGIT reason for being late with this again :O It's because I was working on "White Houses" so diligently…And because only 2 people entered the fanart contest so I was disappointed and uninspired. SO IT'S YOUR OWN DAMN FAULTS. Except for the two people who entered :D Btw the winner? You'll see at the end of this :D

Also, as I'm posting this on like the 2nd day of Chanukah and about 3 days before Christmas…HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!

HALLO! I have returned with a serious question.

What do you do when you're feeling depressed and you can't talk to anyone about it because your role in their lives is the person people talk to? For example, I comfort my mom when she's upset and because of that I don't think I can ask her to comfort me because that's MY job. Same for all my friends, I don't know what to do about it.

Envy: I'm no fangirl! I don't even like you! Seriously, I'm ** off. Crochet me a blanket or I'll kill you and when you come back to life I'll cut you into itty bitty pieces and then burn them and throw them in the ocean so that the fishes may feast on you. KNAVE!

Neassa

Ed: There's no one else you can talk to? Maybe a guidance counselor or a teacher you really like? Even if you don't talk to them about why you're depressed, talking to them about something will get your mind off of it and will probably help.

Al: There are also sites online where you can blog about your problems and friends who you may have never met in person can give you advice; sort of like this. Like, we all know the authoress has a LiveJournal she's constantly on, so if you had one, too, she in the very least could talk to you, and then over time you can add more and more friends who can read about your problems so you get more versatile opinions.

Winry: And speaking of the Authoress, she still has your AIM screenname. So I've heard.

Envy: WHAT IF I CAN'T CROCHET?

Author- Okay, sorry...Lelouch left already ^^;

Ed- I thought it was so CUTE when you blushed when Winry hugged you in the movie!! You like her, dontcha? :D ADMIT IT! or else... bike training to the MAX for you!!

Winry- I'm sure Ed likes you...:D hehe…as in...more than a friend (wink) oh, btw...do you have a favorite wrench? I think Ed stole it after being sick of being hit with it… XD

that's all!!
Ja ne!
Ookami Bakura

BakaKonekoRKL: D:

Ed: …Um, it was pretty hot there…I think I was just getting flushed from the temperature…

Winry: Haha…sure…Anyway, I think I like all of my wrenches equally…each one is perfect for their own specific job. And don't worry, I'd notice if Ed stole one…

Havoc
-tackles Havoc to the ground-
What do girls say to you before they dump you? Is it true that you smoke a package of smokes in a day or does it depend on your mood? Ever been compared to anyone? Ever been told that you are not hot enough?

Dorochet
Any advice on overcoming fear?

Velvet Sin

Havoc: What do they…Oh, I dunno, usually something like, "Havoc, can we talk for just a sec?" or "There's something I need to talk to you about…" …Something like that. Haha, no, I'm not so bad that I smoke a pack a day, usually less than five. Sometimes my (ex) girlfriends compare me to Roy…stupid bastard…Uh, and yes. Thank you for those depressing questions.

Dorochet: You can't overcome your fear until you face it head on. That's the first step. Then try not to think about it, whatever it is, and just get around it. Once you've gotten past that first hurdle, it's easier to get past that fear next time, and soon you'll no longer be afraid of it.

Scar
I do write in my journal and I'm currently working on probably 3 stories including a Death Note one for a challenge at DeviantArt. Still, I don't know what caused me to write that song. Nothing bad has happened to me lately but I guess when you see a lot of violence…I wrote that song because I felt that it was something everyone felt inside. I do feel much better having you to talk to and being able to release my emotions in songs. A lot of things happened in my life but fate always steps in.
I assume that people gave you the name Scar because of the scar on your face? If you could of given yourself another alias, what would it have been? Worst thing you ever tried?
Do you watch the stars at night? Was there ever a time that you desired to feel love after the Ishbal Massacre? Stupidest rule you heard? What rule have you broken?
By the way, I feel happier now.
real thing? Is it true that you were once pranked by your own men?
I bet you would get more ladies if you were a kitten (…I'm joking).

Kain
I'm sure that they do get your name messed up but I do envy you for having a
cool name. I get jokes about mine because my first name is named after liquor and I have
two last names. -anime sweatdrop on her forehead as she adjusts her glasses-
Is it true someone once called you Adorkable?
Ever bent or broken any rules? (same question to Havoc)
Ever punched someone by accident? (same question to Roy)
Ever been hugged by complete strangers because you were so cute?(blush) Who is most likely to forget something when they show up to work?
Ever get over your fear of ghosts?
If I ever think up more questions for you, cute one, I will write them down.

Riza
Biggest challenge for you? Do you secretly enjoy getting the men into order and working?
Strangest thing you ever heard from someone? Any advice on how to stand out more? (same question to Ed and Al)

Dorochet
Ever got drunk with Greed?
Strangest place you slept?

Roy
Is it true that even with training, nothing can prepare you for the

Sonar

Scar: As long as it makes you feel better, it doesn't matter why you write. As for your questions. Yes, that is the reason. I don't really care what name I'm given for an alias; it doesn't really bother me. The worst thing I ever tried was marzipan; that stuff is just disgusting…If I don't have a roof over my head, I do tend to look at the stars at night. If you mean love in a romantic sense, no, but the love of friends and family, yes. I think a stupid rule is having to keep your elbows off the table when you eat; of course I've broken rules about killing others.

Kain: You should just ignore those people and be proud of your name! Hmm…I dunno, maybe someone called me that in this column once upon a time…I've never broken a single rule!

Havoc: What's with you and rules today? Yeah, I've broken a few…I'm always late, for one thing.

Kain: And I've never punched anyone! (horrified)

Roy: (snort) Well…I wouldn't exactly call it an accident…

Kain: …A-Anyway…Only by random strangers on this column! As for your next question…that would be Havoc ^^;; And uh… (looks around) Not...really…

Riza: Getting respect. Yes, I do. Hmm…something about a hamster tree? But I was just passing by and could have heard wrong…If you want to stand out more in a positive way, show your passion for whatever you love. Since you love writing songs, sing one at a talent show.

Ed: You could also start or join a club or two that interests you and become active in it.

Al: Always offer your opinions on things. Even if people don't agree with you, it' still your opinion, and you might make an impression on someone.

Dorochet: Nah…I'd be the one who had to keep him under control when he did get drunk, though. And a park bench.

Roy: For the first question, yes, that is true. For the second…I neither confirm nor deny.

Would you guys like a robot that acted like a servant? That would always go like 'Yes, sir!' or 'Yes, ma'am!' Would you guys like that? ...Would you like it if it was super hyperactive and often forgot your orders?
Ed, when did you realize that you hated milk? Like, when's the earliest time you can remember about the milk thing?
Envy, I'd love to be poisoned, if it's by you. xD
Well, bye!
September Rhyme

Roy: Obviously one that follows orders.

Ed: Since I was like 3.

Envy: …Well yes, you'd like that, wouldn't you?…

To anyone: What do you think of the current economic crisis in the United States?

...What? It's time someone started focusing on the issues.

Also, to Ed: Would you rather be invisible, have the ability to fly, or be a giant flying bird that is also invisible?

NCHammer326

Roy: I think that there's definitely something they could do to lessen the severe-ness of it all, but they won't do it and will just be screwed in the end.

Ed: If I was invisible, it'd be a lot easier to sneak around…

EVERYONE, I NEED HELP!!

See, I have this friend. She's going through a...a "stage," and being really immature and gross and stuff (like third-grader-gross), and whenever someone says something or expresses an opinion, she always automatically goes the opposite way, just to ** them off. A lot of people don't like her, but I know she's a really nice person inside. Anyway, I feel like I'm one of her only friends--but lately I don't like her as much any more. I'm not disgusted by her or anything, I just don't want to hang around her that much for some reason, and I don't know why.

Also, I just got permission to go the Fanimecon (which is eight months away from when I'm writing this) with all of my friends, and as soon as she found out she wanted to go too. And the thing is, I really don't want her to go, and I don't even know why I feel this way.

I'm half hoping that she gets sick or something. What should I do?!

BakaKonekoRKL: …Not to make light of the situation, but I was watching "STAGE" 23 of Code Geass when I answered this. IRONY? :O

Winry: Why don't you just talk to her about it? There's always the possibility that she won't listen to you, but if you're able to make her serious as you talk to her, maybe you can get through to her. Let her know how much she's been bothering people, and warn her that soon you'll be her only friend, and not a close one at that (that's the direction this seems like it's going in).

Al: The reason why you don't want to hang around her as much is probably not because you find her disgusting, but rather she just annoys you. You're both changing, and you probably need your space.

Ed: Try not to hurt her, but if it gets to the point where she's just really bothersome and won't listen to you…well, I might even yell at her.

How does a person get broke so fast? One day I had money, the next I didn't. Mystery!Cowboy Bebop, Rose, or a Negro version of Misa Amane from Death Note (I'll take a potato chip...and EAT IT). I can't decide which. So...I would appreciate Miss Rhi's vote as well as the vote of the cast. If you don't know who those people are, cast, then pick somebody randomly. I won't tell.

Anyway, so I've settled down between Edward of

Also, I'm alone this time. FOR ONCE! Shi has taken to Nintendo, and we haven't seen her since. So, now...

ZILO MAKES COMMENTS...ALONE

To Rhi: It's so difficult to find a really good joke. Mostly because they're all good, partly because I get lost in the chapters. I found one but I don't know if I want to use it. And I don't wanna crossdress! Unless I'm portraying Negro!Ed (points at Ed, waves and smiles)
Also, have you ever seen YGO TAS? I'm currently hooked.

To Scar: Yay! Nice handwriting.

To Envy: Well, sure, but ski masks are half the fun of committing crimes, right?

To Al: (hugs) Thanks for lighting up my sister's life! Also, would you prefer your real body to be really short (like 3'7'') or really tall (like 7'3'')?

To Ed: Honda and Toyota are the car-makers. There's lots of others, many with Japanese names. I forget which one makes the Mustang. Uh...uh...Ford?

To...uh, I don't know, I keep running out of questions!

To Winry: If you had to have some other profession besides the one you have, what would it be? Also, if you had to dye your hair, what color would it be?

I ran into someone the other day who insists Winry's name is spelled "Winery". As in, the place that contains all your wine. Psh! This person also wholeheartedly believes Envy's a girl and Ed is only 13. I'm surrounded by...well, I won't say it, because it's only one.

Can anyone tell me what "pulchritudinous" means? I think I mighty have spelled it wrong, too...

Okay, that's all I can think of. Everybody be good, or bad, or yourselves, whatever. Rhi, I'll chat you up on LJ, UNLESS THE APOCALYPSE OCCURS...which is kind of unlikely, but you know.

--Zilo Sugarpill

BakaKonekoRKL: Ya gotta save it up ;D Also, I'm torn between Rose, who I've never seen a cosplayer of, or Misa-Misa, who I cosplay. So count one towards each XD

Ed: I'm gonna be biased and vote for that Ed guy.

Rose: I'm gonna be biased and vote for…me.

Al: …The Ed guy…Brother…

Winry: We don't need any more Eds! Rose.

Roy: I dunno, is this Misa person hot?

BakaKonekoRKL: …Ok Rose wins. It's an FMA fic, we're all biased here XD Anyways~ YES DO ED AH HA HA that…sounded awkward lol. I haven't seen the YGO one, but I LOVE the Naruto and Code Geass ones LMFAOROTFL. :D

Envy: Unless you want the people to know it was you…

Al: Aw, no problem! Well, either way, wouldn't I die at a rather young age? O__o I mean, generally people who are either extremely short or extremely tall die younger than normal because their bones and stuff are all out of whack…

Winry: I'd be a surgeon, like my parents. If I had to dye all of my hair, I'd dye it brown, but if it was just some streaks or something, pink. Also…you might want to have that person actually watch the series?

Ed: It means to have great physical beauty…you know, there are dictionaries in the world…

BakaKonekoRKL: Actually the entire internet is supposed to just completely die into nothingness within a few years…we'll see how that goes XD

I've got a few questions.
I have a friend named Jordan. He wants to be a wrestler (a guy with bulging muscles, basically) but he never makes an effort to exercise or eat right. And whenever I hang around with him, all he ever talks about are zombies and bad-ass games. To be honest, I don't think I can stand all of this much longer.

Armstrong, you work out, right? So what could I do to make him work harder toward his goal of being a wrestler? And to anyone else who cares, how do I deal with his obsession of zombies and stuff?

Roy, I just want to say that with your looks, you remind me of my older brother. I believe he's in boot camp right now.

-S.A.D.

Armstrong: What!? Is he serious!? Well, if your school offers a nutrition class, get him to take it (perhaps tell him there's not much work involved, it's a "do-nothing" class, and a possibility of free food?), because they teach so much about eating right and also exercise. That's probably the best way to get through to him, but you can also sneak him facts about the adverse affects of bad nutrition and poor exercise.

Ed: On the other hand, if he's still fairly young and has a lot of time to change his mind, I wouldn't worry about it too much, because if that's the case, he probably won't want to be a wrestler as much within the next 5 years or so. As for his zombie obsession, he may just get addicted to one thing after the other or something, so just wait for it to pass.

Roy: …Are you insulting me?

Dris: We totally got blamed for something!!
Sora: ...That's not a good thing, you know?
Dris: Yeah, I know, but it was a second mention!
Sora: Well, that's true...
Dris: THE AUTHORESS IS EXCITED FOR--
Sora: Stop shouting!
Dris: --us! Hooray!
Sora: Tell her what your name means.
Dris: Sure! We used a phonetical spellage for the first word, which came out "Teh" and I didn't get until later that that's how everybody misspells "The" so some people might think it was "The" so, my bad! It's actually "Teh" T-E-H with a short e. Okay, so now figure out the pun! Come on, come on!
Sora: We're going to a cosplay party on
Halloween. I'll be Hanajima again.
Dris: I'm going as that redheaded kid from Cowboy BeBop because that's, like, the only black anime character I know besides Brock, and I won't be a dude!
Sora: The classes sound not so terrible, but being shy does make things tougher. My mom is just like that.
Dris: I used to be like that when I was a kid, but I blossomed into a social butterfly, la la la!
Sora: Yes, she's quite obnoxious now!
Dris: HEY!
Sora: (innocently) What?
Dris: Sorry, Hughes, but I already have my walls covered with pics and all my albums are full and barely a day goes by where I'm not stepping on a picture...I just don't have the room!
Sora: It's true, it really is.
Dris: Yay, Ed forgives me! So can we be buds?
Sora: What about Roy?
Dris: ...
Sora: ...
Dris: Can I call him Roytoy?
Sora: (facepalm)
Dris: Okay, I've got a question! To the military peeps (again) if you could change one thing about your uniforms, what would it be? And "miniskirts" isn't an acceptable answer, Roytoy!
Sora: Also to Ed and Al, I know you're quite busy all the time, but if you had a random day off, then what kind of things would you do for fun?
Dris: WE CREEPED HAVOC OUT!
Sora: Stop yelling!
Dris: Sorry. But hey! There's this magnet thing that you stick on your left ear, and you can go on smoking as usual, but THE CRAVINGS EVENTUALLY STOP! Isn't that COOL?!
Sora: Alphonse, my friend's cat just had 5 kittens, and she named one of them after you. It's got eyes your same color and everything!
Dris: Tell him the other names!
Sora: There's Kaiba, Kaoru, Shugo, and Lelouch also.
Dris: She's an otaku, obviously!
Sora: Okay, so now we're leaving!
Dris: AND TOMORROW OR SOME OTHER DAY WE'RE INFILTRATING LIVEJOURNAL BECAUSE I WANT TO SEE YOUR CON PICTURES!
Sora: ...
Dris: ...I'm the first one!
Sora: What?
Dris: In our nicknames. I'm always the first one.
Sora: We've already gotten our next nickname, too.
Dris: Ota and Kuu! I'm Ota.
Sora: And I'm Kuu. We might use that for our
LiveJournal...
Dris: And now, I'M HUNGRY!
Sora: Bye, everyone! (hugs Al, Elysia, waves at everyone else)

--Dris and Sora

BakaKonekoRKL: YEAH IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT D: …not really lol. Even though I was able to figure ota/ku out, I'm still having trouble with Teh Dris…I dunno, I keep repeating it over and over to myself with different pronounciations, so maybe I've said it but just haven't realized it/don't get it? :O Je ne sais pas. I give up D: Also…-skips down- the kittens names…Obviously I know Lelouch UNF but Kaoru as in from OHSHC? Because there are like 5 other Kaorus I know of lol. If it is, yell at her for not naming another one of them Hikaru D: AND YEAH GET LJs. SRSLY. I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO FIND ME ALREADY. WHEN IS THIS HAPPENING!? D:

Rose: Um…I'm dark-skinned, don't I count?

Hughes: AHH! DON'T STEP ON PICTURES OF MY ELYSIA!!

Ed: …I…guesss…

Roy: How about no? How about Colonel Mustang.

Havoc: More pockets. To put uh…things.

Breda: Like cigarettes and lighters?

Havoc: …Maybe!

Riza: I'd like it if they could be made out of a thinner material or something. They're really thick, so it gets really hot, especially in summertime.

Breda: Now there's an idea!

Ed: Go swimming, read, sleep…

Al: I guess I'd like to walk around whatever town we're in and get to know it, like what kinds of places are there and stuff.

Havoc: …why would I want to put a magnet on my ear?

Al: Awww, that's so cute! Well, it's an honor to be one of their namesakes!

Envy: Yeah...they're a little fragile on the inside though, so please don't destroy their souls forever! And of course I love your hair, it's the coolest in the whole show/manga!

Ed: Hey, I'm short too, but at least you're taller than me, right?

Al: Eh, the cat only hates ME. He's got it out for me. I bet he'd put on the innocent act around you.

Roy: Yeah, A YEAR. But only cause when I said you were cool they'd tickle me until I couldn't talk anymore...they're very, very cruel.

Riza: Thank you very much for the great advice! It really helped me!

Scar: That's good, 'cause there ARE people that enjoy it and I'm glad you're not one of them! By the way, if you could have one thing in the world, what would it be?

Havoc: I love you. You are AWESOME.

Wrath: Lets! -Takes ice cream out of freezer and shares-

Death By Silence

Envy: I make no promises. Ah ha ha~ why thank you, I know it is.

Ed: Am I? How do I know you're telling the truth; I don't know how tall you are!

Al: Aww, I'm sure he's really sweet on the inside!

Roy: Tickling…that's very serious indeed…

Riza: I'm glad!

Scar: Understanding.

Havoc: Hey, who doesn't? ;D

Wrath: MMMM!

Well it's me again.allergic to cats?Thanks for the pictures of Elysia.7 Deadly Sins?

Ed: Would you like to be taller?

Al: What if you were

Hughes: How much information about Elysia can you fit on the back of an 8" by 11" picture?

The Homunculi: Why do you have names of the

-Mimiki

Ed: …Noooo.

Al: Um…sorry, Brother was being scarcastic…Well, they have medicine you can take for allergies, right?

Hughes: As much as I need to! I can write very small, if need be.

Lust: Because bringing a human back to life, thus creating a Homunculus, is the greatest sin in Alchemy.

Ed and Winry: WHY AREN'T YOU TOGETHER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I mean, I know you guys are in separate universes, but you're here now! Ed, do not deny it. If you do, I will attack you with my army of evil zombies until you do.

Al: You are awesome.

Well, that's all!
-Fullmetal Maniac

Ed: Um…

Winry: Uh…

Ed: Er…

Winry: Um…

Ed: Because! This isn't a romance fanfiction! And even if it were…er…well, I didn't deny it?

Al: Heehee…thanks!

Hi!elevator shoes and antenna) you're taller than me, and there's people that sure are shorter than you in our grade (they're 14 years old). And btw, can I hug you? 8Ddogs are better than cats...

Ed: You're not short. (With your

Al: My dog wants to say, that

Scar: Yo man!

Gluttony: Hey! Have a pizza. *hands over some pizza* Can I get your autograph? :D Don't eat that sketch book or I'll eat you...

~Ypsilon
Whoa, it's 6th of December, the Finnish Independent Day... 8D

Ed: …Okay, just for that, sure. A quick hug.

Al: Um…well, dogs are nice, too, I mean, look how cute Den is!

Den: Arf~!

Al: But…I dunno, there's just something about cats that's just adorable…

Scar: …What?

Gluttony: Mmmm… (eating pizza) Mmhmm! (signs name)

Ed: Wow, Finland?

BakaKonekoRKL: Damn, people are reading this that far away? Awesome!

I have at least two or three questions:

Entire FMA cast:

Why is the sky blue?

Winry:
You remind me of my friend who likes to kick my ankles when I do something stupid. It's not nice to hit people.

Ed:
You're not short...

You're fun size!

AirDragon717

Winry: Isn't it some kind of chemical thing? …Anyway…I don't kick people, I throw wrenches at them, and only when they act like idiots! So you probably deserved it.

Ed: …SHUT UP.

AND THE WINNER IS…

ZILO!!! Congratulations~ :D You win a 2 page-handwritten letter and a fanart of your choice (it doesn't have to be FMA; just tell me the anime/characters/poses/etc.).

Hilaria, yours actually came in at a close second! So you get a 1-page handwritten letter and a fanart of MY choice…so just tell me whichever anime you want it from lol.

And just so you know, I didn't pick the winner…About seven people who read my LiveJournal voted on several aspects of each entry, so I didn't even count, so I wasn't biased at all :D

So, girls, please e-mail me (see profile) your addresses. If you prefer not to give out your addresses (of course, I won't share them with anyone), I obviously can't do the letters, but still lemme know about the fanart and I can put that up on DA.

I'M GONNA HOLD ANOTHER FANART CONTEST FOR THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS, SO GET THOSE IDEAS ROLLING, AND SHARPEN THOSE PENCILS…or mouses ;D
