I'm not going to bother with this silly "homecoming" event. You may have your fun, but I won't be a part of it. Thank you very much.

Also, if you're a tailor, seamstress, or anything of the like - may I have a moment of your time? I'd like to put in a request for something to be made.

[ Action | Church ]

[ A few days after music class with Austria, Diana has decided to practice a few pieces of varying music either in the auditorium of the high school, right in the music room, or hell - even in the church. She's not religious by any means, but she will make use of what she has to her. And, so, she can be found at the organ in the church, playing this piece. It's honestly a challenge to her, but it's a welcome one. Go ahead and bother her, but try to not interrupt her from her playing. She's very intently focused on this. ]

[ Action | Mayfield High ]

[ While Diana's in her classes, she's busy scribbling down not the notes, but yet transmutation circles. She's making herself learn new ones as well as applying the knowledge she already has. She's humming a little song under her breath, her eyes closed. At least she isn't falling randomly asleep. Yet. ]

[ Action | Around Mayfield ]

[ Maybe school or the church is not for you, so Diana can be found bustling in various shops to buy posterboard and other such materials. While she'd like to design her posters on a computer, she doesn't have that option available to her, unfortunately. Again, she'll make do with what she has for now. She does seem to be a little distracted as she's figuring out how to design the posters to make them visually pleasing and invite as many people as possible, though. Therefore, it should be easy to distract her from doing this. ]

Action: Around Mayfield

(Someone else is walking around Mayfield as well when she spots Miss Ethelbert. Say hi?)

Hello there Miss Ethelbert. How are you doing?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE YOU. Diana turns her head and notices Miss Pauling, a false smile on her face. It's convincing enough to get by, though. ]

Fine, Miss Pauling.

[prpl_assistant]

(Not convincing enough for someone who deals out her own fake smiles all the time. But she's got a genuine one for you today. Or is it?)

That's good to hear. Will you be attending the Homecoming Dance on Friday? It seems that most of everyone will be going.

Ehehe. Why not, Diana~? Not the party type?

I just don't see the need to attend such an event.

[ Old habits die hard. At least, that's what Minako tells herself about finding herself in the church once again, planning to just silently pray to herself a little as she's done a few times back home, but.. she finds there to be organ music today, not to mention a familiar person playing said organ.

She doesn't speak up about it though - she just goes and kneels in one of the benches, hands clasped together as if in prayer while she listens to the music, completely silent. ]

[ action - church ]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Out of the corner of her eye, Diana spots Minako. She doesn't say anything to her until the piece is done, and even then, she can see that she's praying. She simply turns her full attention back on to the organ itself.

Maybe the music can help out with Minako's thoughts - who knows? ]

I'm open for commissions. What did you have in mind?

I was hoping that I could have a suit made for me, as well as a tie and a pair of gloves to go along with it.

And if we turn to page 78, we find that Elizabeth Bennet does not, in fact, spare us 300 pages of tiptoeing about her true feelings, but actually spends the remainder of her time drawing squiggly little circles with occult designs that vaguely resemble the Rite of Ashk'Ente.

[That voice is awfully loud. And near. And behind you.]

Mayfield High

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana notes the loud voice and decides to pause to look up at Susan from where she's sitting. ]

Hello, Miss Sto Helit. I do think Elizabeth Bennet did say that as long as I did what I was expected to in this class, including homework and any other assignments, that I could do what I wished with my time. And, while we do not know what the Rite of Ashk'Ente is as of right now, we do know that they are transmutation circles that do not necessarily deal in occult manners.

Any questions?

[Nall decided to pay a visit to the church after his good friend Alex appeared in Mayfield and manages to overhear his roomie's musical prowess. He sits quietly through the piece, not speaking until she's done.]

For the sake of reference, is there anything you're not good at?

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana turns around and gives a little smile to Nall. ]

If you haven't noticed it yet, I'm not good with socializing with others.

[He's already given the assignment for today - just some simple chemical equations to work on. He's walking around the classroom, assisting the few people/drones that care enough to do the work, and generally getting an idea of what his students are into]

[When he gets to Diana's desk, he sees her doing a very different kind of chemistry - albiet a very familiar one. How in the world... she certainly isn't any alchemist he remembers from back home. The hell is going on here? Still, he's a teacher - so he can find out as he instructs]

You're doing a good job with your linework. Most beginners have trouble with shaky lines.

[ Diana wasn't expecting to be approached like this, but it's to be expected since she's in school and all. She pauses and looks up at Roy with a nod. ]

I take it that you know of alchemy also, Mr. Mustang?

[ She doesn't know of you yet, since Ed hasn't brought it up, so... Yeah. ]

[Lunchtime! Ed's in the chemistry lab as per usual with a bunch of papers spread out in front of him. He sits cross legged on his chair, munching on a sandwich with one hand while he flips through the papers with the other.

If Diana showed up today, he had plenty of material for her to study. Hope she's ready for the challenge.]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana's decided to bring her lunch today instead of buying it in the cafeteria. She walks down to the chemistry lab and opens the door to find Ed. A smile crosses her face and she walks over to sit down next to him. ]

Ready for another lesson, Ed?

Oh, me! I'm a seamstress. And I don't even have any other jobs to do yet! You will be my first customer!

Wonderful. May I be able to request a basic suit to be made, including a tie and a pair of white gloves?

[ During Lust's class, she easily notices that symbol.

And, surprisingly, no malicious intent washes over her eyes. Instead, she sees a young fledging, one that can be taught stronger techniques, and one that can be manipulated. She has considerable knowledge of alchemy, even if she can't preform it herself. ]

A transmutation circle, Ms. Ethelbert? And just where did you learn this? I don't recall you being Amestrian.

Works for me!

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana pauses what she's doing to look up at Lust. She's already spent quite a bit of time scribbling down both the history notes as well as a few transmutation circles here and there. ]

An acquaintance of mine, and you're right - I'm Epyaxian. [ She doesn't want to give out Ed's name that easily, even if he is her teacher and all. Unlike with Roy, she doesn't entirely trust you since she barely even knows you and that trust can be misplaced. ]

[Austria listens to her playing from the doorway, careful not to break her concentration in any way, or even alert her to his presence. When she stops he walks forward, making himself known.]

An ambitious choice! I have not heard the piece myself before today.

It's okay!

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ Diana's fingers drop from the keys and she turns around to face Austria with a nod and a slight smile. ]

I like to call it practice for later on.

[Aurica is in more than one of your classes, to be sure, but in one of them when it's convenient enough to talk amongst each other, she'll steal occasional glances at the work you're doing.

It's obviously not part of the class material, and involves intricate designs that warrant attention, from the curious at least. The humming is also distracting, in a good way.]

Diana? What are you working on?

[ Action | Mayfield High ]

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

[ The humming stops as Aurica asks her question. Then, Diana will break from her work and give her a little nod. ]

I'm working on constructing transmutation circles.
