A day out in the cold

[Guest]

A birthday? Yes it was a birthday. But whose was it? It wasn't hers or was it. She couldn't remember, the days seemed to melt together anymore. In fact, she wondered what day it was. It was odd weather for Xing. Bitter cold with a flurry of snow over the dying grass. Almost as if the tears of heaven froze and fell slowly to the earth where it made the plants that grew, died then the sky wept once more. Life was a boring cycle, a neverending cycle. She was simply a part of it. One day she'd join the plants and the sky as well. It was all a circle and she happened to be in the middle somewhere. If there was a god up there, he was cruel and yet kind at the same time as luck had its cycles as well. Unfortunately in that cycle, Ao was the underdog.

Her neck and mouth covered by a scarf, she found herself trudging back from her secret hideout. It was where she had made her own little shrine for her deceased emperor. He was the closest friend she had and now he was gone. Just as quick as a flake melted into snow: Gone. She missed him sorely and sometimes she didn't wish to continue on, but she knew for now she had to. With her eyes closed, she sighed, feeling quite awkward being followed by about four guards. Everywhere she went they followed and it made her feel uneasy. Why couldn't she have been born into a normal life?

Anthony for some reason was in Xing. He wanted to see what it was like outside of Amestris. Also there was more reasoning to it , He had been informed of a man trying Human Transmutation he was in the Xingese Military , Anthony was here to end his life like he does to all non-medical Human tranmutationists. This man was guilty of kidnapping , Human Transmuation and intentional murder. Anthony heard this from two Xingese men in Rush Valley. One man had his daughter kidnapped by that man infront of him but could offer no evidence besides his word to the Military. It was his word against that of a respected Soilder they laughed at him. Anthony was here for justice. On a better note He had always heard it was nice here in Xing though he also never heard of it to snow out here. Oh well Anthony liked the cold. He walked at his 6.1 feet tall with his long sliver hair flowing down into his face. He was wearing his leather outfit with a blood red overcoat which concealed a great many things in it and in its pockets. Including a Picture of his dead sister , two Desert Eagles some fake ID's with his many aliases on it , extra ammo clips Finally the current wanted poster of himself. He had pockets for each thing and he memorized where each was. His Desert eagles were more or less not in a pocket but just inside the hidden part. Which each bullet has transmutation circle carved in on them , along with his gloves. He saw a woman followed by gaurds. This ought to be fun he thought. He regconoized her from somewhere but he was not exactly sure where He knew her from. He sighed but he regconized a guard too.

( OOC: One of your body gaurds is the man im looking for OK? )

Ao rubbed some snow from her eyes and shook free some of the ice from her dark hair. It was light out but the clouds overcasted above; hiding the sun. Whispers flickered over her ears as people murmured accusations and their usual gossip. Nothing new. Her eyes closed tightly as she stopped walking a moment. It was strange that they thought whispering made them any less guilty of gossip. No matter what happened there would always be someone who couldn't keep their mouth shut and the rumor would fly to places it never did before. Her guards stiffened as one turned demanding a foreigner explanation. Ao turned slowly.

He definitely towered over her in height, but she didn't seem to mind. Her blue eyes empty as if she'd just woken up from a strange and bizarre dream and her body stood as if she were in a sort of haze. One guard to her right poked at the man with his polearm while another seemed to be wetting his pants. Such silly men. Ao mused in her head, then came too, "Hold your arms. He shows no hostility." she spoke quickly in Xingese before approaching him herself. "How might I help you?" Almost everyone knew amestrian, so that was her best bet.
