➤ 4th Transmutation [Sizefield!]

[unexculpable]

A. » Action「Mayfield High School ☼ U.S. History」

[So you know what sucks? Being short. Ok, no, not just short, but being an inch tall. That really sucks. Even worse? GETTING TOTED TO SCHOOL INSIDE A PURSE, THAT'S WHAT.

And of course it couldn't even be someone he remotely liked, oh no. It had to be Lust. There he was, trying to sneak out of that stupid house and then before he knew what was happening was shoved in some pocket next to a tube of red lipstick (that he totally transmuted, by the way. Nothing quite like going to fix your makeup and pulling out a tube of bright red crayon.) because she "had to keep him safe".

BULLSHIT. BULL. SHIT.

This was just an excuse to humiliate him and make his life as miserable as possible. So far? Mission accomplished. This tiny alchemist has never been tinier and it looks like his temper shrank to match his size. Which, if you're curious and decide to measure, actually isn't even an inch. In fact, the top of that one piece of hair that sticks up doesn't quite reach that mark.

People shrink and somehow he's smaller than all of them. WHAT IS HIS LIFE?

Anyway. To those lucky students who happen to have Lust as teacher for their U.S. history class, they might notice a tiny addition to her desk. There is +1 State Alchemist being used as a paper weight. When graded papers are handed back out, they might notice that the stamped letters have not been made in a "traditional" way. Oh, no. They're made up of tiny footprints and the bottom of Ed's boots are stained black. Damn ink isn't coming off.]

B. » Action「Teacher's Lounge ☼ Lunch」

[There was no way Lust was going to leave Ed by himself. Too dangerous. What if he fell off the desk? Or someone stepped on him? Or heard him screaming obscenities, thought he was a bug and squished him with a textbook? No, Lust couldn't have that happen.

Instead, she takes her minuscule charge with her to the teacher's lounge for lunch. In front of her is a line of items based on height. The tube of lipstick Ed transmuted is among them and as for Ed himself? Dead last.]

((ooc: responses will be from either Ed, Lust, or both! Just let us know who you want in the tag!))


C. » Action「Around Town - Close to Mayfield High ☼ Late Afternoon/Early Evening」

[FREEDOM. He's not sure how it happened, but somehow he managed to get away from Lust and make it outside without getting stepped on. Unfortunately, he didn't get very far before he ran into a problem. There was an ant who apparently marked him as a threat. He was going to have to fight this ant. HE HAD TO FIGHT AN ANT.

Just as it was about to close in on him, Ed claps his hands and touches the ground. Alchemic energy, which from a person of normal height looked a bit like strangely colored, prolonged, especially bright, electric shock, spreads outward towards the ant and a large (to Ed anyway) stone fist erupts from the ground, slams into the ant and sends the bastard flying.]

TAKE THAT YOU FUCKING LITTLE JACKASS!

Teacher's Lounge!

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[Greed stirs from his nap on a couch in the corner as he hears a familiar voice. He stretches and smirks.]

Hey Sis, didn't know they'd trust you enough to mold minds.

[He chuckles.]

Unless you're teaching them sex ed.

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ SIDE EYES.

IS HE SERIOUSLY HERE TOO?

GOD MAYFIELD IS JUST THE WORST TO HER.

But she'll keep her cool big sis face on whatever whatever she does what she wants. ]

I'm teaching American History, Greed. As for you, the idea of you teaching anything proves just how desperate this town is to increase school performance. Then again, no one ever said you had to be competent to be employed in these circumstances. [ TAKE THAT GREED. ]

[unexculpable]

[... This. Is. HORRIBLE. Greed why are you here. This is just. No. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

Ed is carefully going to try and hide behind the lipstick crayon. He can not deal with Greed right now. Lust is bad enough.]

B - Just Ed first for taunting, then Lust too? idk

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[He's not a fan of the teacher's lounge for obvious reasons, but for whatever reason he's in there on this particular day - and what a day to be in there]

[Because very little escapes his watchful eyes, and the tiniest alchemist is no exception. He peeeeeers at the teeny tiny blond on the table]

Funny, I thought I saw Edward. Maybe if I had a microscope...

[unexculpable]

[... This was the worst day ever. The amount of rage on this tiny face is kind of ridiculous. He seems to ready to launch into a full fledged Edward Elric Tantrum complete with short rant, but... every single one of them is actually true for once. He can't do that to himself. He just. Can't. If he could reach he would punch you in the face RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. ]

SHUT UP. NOT FUNNY, JACKASS.

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[Even though it's wrong, he can't help but smile]

Come on Fullmetal, it's a little funny.

use ALL the angry icons!

[unexculpable]

OH YEAH, JUST LAUGH IT UP. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT THE HELL I'VE BEEN THROUGH TODAY?

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[His expression becomes somewhat more serious at that]

I don't actually, but that's besides the point. Why are you here specifically?

[all-ofthethings.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.]

Me, a teacher? Even I know that's a bad idea, Sis. I just thought with all the blob shit that went on yesterday, I should take my nap indoors, and no one objected when I strolled in here.

[Too bad you knocked it over, Edward. A clatter makes Greed look a little closer at the objects Lust had lined up.]

Fullmetal?

[Now he's crossing the room to inspect.]

Did you take on a new hobby, Sis?

[unexculpable]

[He flops down on the table, sitting with his legs crossed. He leans forward, resting his head on his hand]

Because "mom" didn't think I would be safe if she left me all by myself in the "big scary classroom".

Lust soon?

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[Sigh. Of course. Lust had to go and complicate everything. Unsure of what else to do, Mustang offers his hand]

Come on. Having lust cart you around all day is more than a little dangerous.

/uses account for icon ;;

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

[ She shrugs. ]

And just when I think there couldn't be more evidence of the ineptitude of the school system. [ Shakes her head just a tiny bit. She's resisting all temptation to facepalm to be honest. How she just grins at Greed's implication. ]

If you consider babysitting a new hobby, then this isn't anything new to me in the slightest. [ She has a car-sized garbage disposal back home you know. ]

shamelessly threadjacks with a different account B)

[usedrecover.livejournal.com]

Quite the opposite. [ In a nearly bored, but obvious caustic tone. B| It's you again. She walks towards Edward and the items, essentially trying to cockblock Mustang from getting to her sacrifice. ]

No harm would befall him while I'm around. [ She has to get these sacrifices back home safely after all!! ] If it was dangerous, I think his boots wouldn't be the only thing blackened. Wouldn't you agree, Colonel? [ Yes. She used him as a stamp. Don't ask why. She has to vent in the most passive-agressive ways possible, and, this one bordered on real aggression. ]

[unexculpable]

[DAMN IT.
You are getting the biggest glare ever right now, Greed. Complete with exaggerated huffs and crossed arms.]

Tch, babysitting. Bullshit.]

[unexculpable]

[... Because he hasn't been humiliated enough today. Letting the Colonel carry him around was just as degrading, but admittedly much less threatening to his sense of self-preservation.]

Tch, no kidding. Don't have to tell me that.

[And of course, as he stands up and is inches from potential freedom, Lust decides it was a good time to come back.]

No harm? YOU THREATENED TO HANG ME FROM YOUR CAR MIRROR HOW IS THAT NOT HARMFUL?

Action ☆ A

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

geh...!!! Wh-what--- Edward?

A

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

((Both if they want))

[There is a giant golden eye in the window, then a slight tapping as a giant Ruri peers in]

Um... Teacher, can I give you my paper tomorrow? I can't quite get to it while I'm in this state.

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ Lust just smirks while she delicately holds a pencil next to Edward to show how amazingly short he is. ]

I've been a little short-handed recently, so I asked him to assist me today. [ Why yes she did subtly insult him twice. ] Too bad Mayfield had other lengthy plans. [ A third one... ]

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ Though a giant golden eye peering into a window is enough to make Lust tense up, at hearing Ruri's giant voice quake her entire classroom, she seems to go back to her initial state of a smug relaxed mood. ]

That would be quite acceptable. [ A pause. She is quite curious on why Ruri's so large but if Ed is small then... ] Did Mayfield's latest trial get to you too? My family is a bit shorthanded right now. [ GLANCES AT ED B| ]

[hontobakabaka.livejournal.com]

Oh.... Is that Ed on your desk? I'm not good at size judgement right now but hrm... I wonder if he came in contact with the gas I did last night as well.

[unexculpable]

[Yep. Feeling pretty terrible right now. Rika definitely looks upset and that reaction is more than enough to tell him that it was because of him. He's about to apologize (wasn't his fault, but that look on her face D: ), but his temper gets the better of him. And no one is surprised.

His entire body visibly tenses, shooting Lust a glare.]

ASK? OH LIKE HELL YOU DID.

AND DON'T THINK I HAVEN'T NOTICED ALL THE UNDERHANDED INSULTS.

[badend-replay.livejournal.com]

mi~i. Is that so? I am sure there are many more useful things he could be doing at that height. However, it is good to know that an eye will be properly kept on him today. Winry and Alphonse would approve.

[luxuriality.livejournal.com]

[ That comments earns a chuckle from inner Lust, but she'll just approve of it anyways.

Furude Rika you are her favorite person at Mayfield right now! ]

He's been helping me stamp my papers today. Mayfield certainly has its ideas of what constitutes of family time. [ even if they are technically related, she'll just briefly quip to him right then and there. ] I'm sure both Winry and Alphonse would approve of my efforts to keep him safe. [ Especially Alphonse B) ]

Isn't that right, Edward? [ Though Rika may not be able to see it, Lust does pull out yet another stack of papers. Agree or continue to be used as a stamp boy |: ]

[canhasfuhrer.livejournal.com]

[Well. Now what? He had his gun of course, but being openly hostile wasn't the best of ideas. They'd managed to somehow coexist in the school, and he didn't want to fire the proverbial and literal first shot in what would likely end up a never ending conflict between the two of them]

[At the same time, simply giving up on Fullmetal? That's unacceptable. Maybe an alternative approach?]

Well, you do raise a good point. He's not dead. But what kind of teacher would I be if I let him simply skip my class? Miniaturization is hardly an excuse.

[unexculpable]

[HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK WAS AT THE WINDOW WAS THAT SOMEONE'S EYE?! He stumbles backwards a bit, gracefully trips over a pencil, falls flat on his ass, and just. stares.

That totally wasn't terrifying and incredibly loud Oh, wait, no. It was. And he knew that voice and it belonged to someone who should definitely not be that tall. At all. She was actually shorter than him, but now that was definitely not the case.]

...That green mist? Yeah.
