(I don't know when the RP is set, so correct me if I am wrong ^_^)
I walked into the alchemy shop that I have been coming to ever since I stole the Alchemy book from here six years ago. The owner greets me with a warm smile as I take up residence in my corner, complete with a bowl of water and a yellowing Alchemy book with a hard leather cover. I sit down in front of the bowl of water and open the book to a dog-eared page. The water in the bowl steams and moves around when I clap my hands, activating the transmutation circles tattooed into the palms of my hand, and grip the sides of the bowl.
I smile as bubbles of water rise from the surface and swirl around as if they are dancing. I made that happen. The owner of the store smiles again as she watches the water, and walks over to me. She knows why I took up alchemy in the first place; to kill my parent's killer. "you could learn more about the killer in one of those military libraries, you know." She said, picking up the Alchemy book I had been reading, and she blew the dust off the cover. "The thing about those libraries is, you have to be in the military to even set foot in them. As if anyone would let a sixteen year old join." I answered with my chin resting in my hands. "What about that Fullmetal kid?" She asked, fiddling with papers as she walked back to the counter. I followed her. "Edward Elric? Yeah, he was only twelve when he joined. I wonder what happened to him." I said to myself. At that moment, a customer walked in. "Think about what I said, OK?" The owner said to me with a pat on my arm, as she walked up to the customer, trying to make a sale.

The customer that walked in was wearing a military alchemist uniform with her hair pulled back in a bun. She had Blue eyes like the Armstrong family does. She looks at the owner and smiles. "Have you seen Havoc?" She said putting her hand on her head. She was looking for Jean and couldn't finger out where he was. She then spot the 16 year old girl and smile. "Are you wanting to become a military alchemist?" She asked with a friendly smile. "Oh, and let me tell you who I am. I'm General Brook Armstrong, but call me Brook." She said with a smile. Good, now I can get even with Mustang if she joins since he got a 12 year old in getting a 16 year old in should be easier. She thought to herself.

she walks into the store, noticing the two girls standing at a table off to the side. after buying a few things from the shopkeeper, she walks over to their table and motions to the empty chair beside them. "do you mind if i sit down? i was just walking for a good half hour." she looks at the bowl of water infront of one of the girls, and says, "oh, do you practice water alchemy as well? i do too." she says this last sentence with a smile.

I beam as I bow at the General. "Yes, very much! My name is Leila and I would like to learn more about alchemy, that being a state alchemist can teach me." I turn to the other girl that has sat down at my table. "Yes, since I was 10. I am known as the wave alchemist, but am not currently in the military." I clap my hands and face my palms towards the bowl of water. A bubble of water rises from the surface as I manipulate it. As it freezes, an elegant doll appears, with long hair and detailed features. I hand it to the General.

((Jessica, you can only be at one place at a time. Unless your able to make clones of yourself like Jealousy is able to.))
Brook look at the girl that just walked in the shop and then back to Leila. She then nods. "Alright. The state exams are tomorrow." She said as she grabs the doll. "This is well detail for an water alchemist of your age." She saids as she turns it around to look at more of it. "Yes. I think you can pass the State Exam tomorrow with flying colors. Remember we do hair one person a year that passes it, but since Lt. General Keira Alchemist found one the Fuhrer may aloud two since me and her are his best military man or should I say women." She said with a smile as the door opens and she gets bumped into by Havoc. _________________________________________________________________________
Jean looks at Brook. "I've been looking for you ever where. Why did you disappear?" He said as he catchs a glare from her. "Wow. That doll. Did one of these two kids make it? That's really good for someone so young." He said as he grabbed the doll from Brook and looked at it. "Your going to aloud this kid that made this do the state exam tomorrow like Keira is going to do with the kid she found, but first she's having Lt. Nick Bulter spur with him. I guess there met be two that get to join the state alchemist this go around." He said to Brook as he looks at Jessica and Leila. "Oh, I'm 2nd Lt. Jean Havoc and this is General Brook Armstrong." He said not knowing that Brook already told Leila her name. He get pushed outside by Brook. ________________________________________________________________________
Brook looks at Leila and Jessica. "If either of y'all need a place to stay just come to the Armstrong Families home and we'll put y'all in a room of y'alls own for awhile." She said as she pushed Jean out the door and followed him as it shut on the two.

I am too stunned for words, until my brain switches on as they walk out. "Thank you!" I call to them. I turn to the owner of the store and hug her tight. "Did you hear, I could be a state alchemist!" She hugs me back. "You should take up that offer that the General offered. you need somewhere to sleep." Without a word, she takes out a duffel bag with my belongings in it and hands it to me, ruffling my hair. I sling the bag over my shoulder and run out of the shop, ready to start my adventure.

watching her run off, jessica fumbles around in her bag, and eventually pulls out a book. "oooh, this one looks interesting," she says as she begins to read.
