   Busy-Busy

As of right now, I am haulting my FMA fanifc and anything that pertains to that because I need to knuckle down on school work, as well as I need to get my ass in gear because I have two comics to draw. >_>;; One is made by myself only, and a friend of mine is writing one and I am doing the artwork x3 So yeah, 'busy-busy said the bee as he traveled from flower to flower'

On a good note about school, as of last year, I have credits and when I have completed this school year I will have 16! In order to graduate, all I need to do is take English and a Global couse, and the rest is spare time!!! OMG! I'm so excited xD But, I may take a Math (blegh) and a French (Yay!)

Here are my courses for this semester -->

Advanced Math
Academic English
Chemistry
Ancient History

The second semester -->
Drama (Ick!)
Biology
Oceans 11 (Not the movie xD)
French

So yeah, I hope this school year goes fast.. but when it comes to the 10-page essay and physical project in History, I want all the time in the world >_>;; I did it before last year, but that was Canadian History and I am learning Ancient now...

Also, I got my glasses a couple days ago xD It's been 7 years since my last eye exam, so the eye-doctor wasn't very pleased when he checked my records, and on this visit, he found that I have dry eyes and an astigmatism xP So, the end result is that I have to wear glasses! (No shit xD)

Anyway, that's all for now,

   Work! Work! Work!

School starts tomorrow, so I don't know what the situation for art trades is. I'll know more tomorrow after school ^^

In other news, I got my new glasses! xD Now I can see better!

Hehhee, anyway I developed more of the plot for my FMA fanfic. I have devised 6 other homunculi (Beside Geno)that will appear in future chapters, as well as a mysterious alchemist who has strange similarities to the homunculi. Once I have them sketched up, I'll upload them.

But... I must wait because I am organizing a contest challenge for people to identify them ^^ In my next post, I will have rules, the prizes and what not, so check often ^^

That's all for now,

2nd Chapter - FMA Fanfic

Yesh. This is the second chapter of my fanfic! Once, again it isn't edited well so bare with my writing errors!

But enjoy!

---

“What do you want now, Colonel?” Ed huffed, slouching down on the sofa.

“Sorry for bothering you, but I thought you’d like to know that there’s a homunculus in the neighborhood,” the Colonel sighed, cleaning up his desk.

“You’re kidding, right?” Ed exclaimed.

“I wish I was, but it’s totaled two cars, killed 3 men and injured 20,” the Colonel continued, “Hawkeye, and Armstrong at the latest spot where it was last seen.”

Ed sighed, “Let me guess, you want me to check it out? And how do you know it’s a homunculus?”

“Hawkeye reported back an hour ago, and she said that there was a strange tattooed plastered over the thing’s head, it looked like the ouroboros-thing,” the Colonel replied.

Edward was about to say something when the ring of the Colonel’s telephone interrupted him. The Colonel picked up the phone off it’s cradle,

“Yes?” his eyes widened, “What? What do you mean that thing has Armstrong’s arms??! How is that possible??”

“Wha?” Ed looked stunned.

The Colonel looked annoyed, “Stop messing around! Get off the hooch!”

He slammed the phone back on its cradle. He seemed very angry,

“W-what’s wrong?” Ed stuttered.

“Some damn drunk soldier is saying that that thing has Armstrong’s arms, like a copy-cat!”

Mustang fumed as he slipped on his gloves and headed for the door,

“C’mon Fullmetal! I need to set that soldier straight!”

“Right!” Ed nodded.

Meanwhile, downtown Central, Hawkeye hid in an alley, both hands on her gun ready to pull the trigger. Why doesn’t this make any sense?? She thought, breathing heavily. Something rustled in the darkness over the alley. She quickly pointed her gun into the darkness and pressed the trigger. A shot rang out as it sounded like it hit a brick wall.

“Come out, come out where ever you are!” she softly called out.

Nothing responded. Hawkeye moved closer into the darkness, still holding her gun in front of her, ready to shoot. She walked slowly and steadily. Suddenly, something stirred in the darkness again. She popped another round off as she heard it again.

“Hawkeye?”

She jumped as she spun around, almost pulling the trigger. She stopped herself before she realized that she would have shot the Colonel.

“Colonel?” she said as she began to walk towards him.

Suddenly, she heard a strange noise in behind her. Before she could react, a gun was pointed to the back of her head; her own gun. What was even stranger, the hand that was holding the gun appeared to Hawkeye’s as well. The blue of the military uniform could be seen. The Colonel held out his hand, ready to snap his fingers to ignite a flame but he stopped as he saw the colour of the military uniform.

“What the?” the Colonel gasped.

“Did you find the Lieutenant?” Al asked as he and Ed appeared behind the Colonel.

“Wha? What’s going on?” Ed exclaimed.

“D-d-don’t move!” the person in the dark said softly to Hawkeye, “I don’t know how to use this thing, but I’ll make do,”

“Who are you?” Hawkeye asked.

“I’ve been asking myself the same thing, but from what I have heard— I am a homunculus,”

Hawkeye’s eyes widened,

“What do you want?”

“I don’t know—“

Hawkeye began to turn, but the mysterious person was faster and clocked Hawkeye on the head with the bottom of the gun. Hawkeye fell to the ground, the mysterious person whimpered,

“Oh no! I did it again, why are people making me do this?”

“I command that you reveal yourself, or I will be forced to use force,” the Colonel’s anger flared as he grinded his fingers together, causing sparks.

“NO! Just leave me alone!” the hand disappeared into the dark, “I didn’t mean to! Honest!”

“That sounds like what a child would say,” Ed said.

“Who are you? Why did you do that to the Lieutenant?” Al called out.

“Why is everybody asking me that?? I DON’T KNOW I AM!” the person cried.

Suddenly, a figure darted out of the shadows, and ran towards the alchemists. The Colonel snapped his fingers and flames appeared, heading towards the escaping figure. The figure quickly launched itself in the air; it sped over top of Mustang. He looked up at the figure and got a better visual of his perp. It was a young woman, clothed in red fabric and a black corset. Her head was half bald and on the bald region, red scribbles were tattooed, along with an ouroboros.

“STOP!” Ed exclaimed as he transmuted his automail to his spear.

The girl ignored him as she landed on the ground behind them. She began to make the corner when a giant blast of rock plowed her over. A piece of rock appeared and smacked her right in the face. She fell backwards, but caught herself by pushing upwards with her arms (that still appeared as Hawkeye’s.) She began to bounce back up when her arms literally broke off from her twisting her body.

“Oh shit!” she exclaimed as noticed her arms broke off.

She fell on the ground. After the dust and dirt settled, a large outline of a human appeared in the alleyway; it was Armstrong.

“I suggest that you listen next time, you bohemian,” Armstrong said to her.

She laid still; her eyes were concentrated on Armstrong, watching every move that he made. Everything fell silent, as the alchemist spotted the girl’s arms. They were completely broken off. They still appeared like Hawkeye’s; one still held the gun. Both twitched as in moments later, they disintegrated into dust.

“She broke her arms… Literally,” Al gulped.

“Who the Hell are you? I’m sick of your games!” Mustang bellowed as he picked up the girl by the shoulders and slammed her against the wall.

“I – do – not – know! You bastard!” she replied.

“Tell me!” he shoved her in the wall again.

“Colonel…” Ed sounded worried.

“You’re hurting her,” Al added.

“Yes, you’re hurting me!” she cried.

“I will let you go if you tell me who you are,” he grinded his teeth, lying.

“I told you---”

He pressed his fingers into her skin, she winced with pain. All of a sudden, a crooked smile appeared on her face…

Drawing Slump =__=

Blargh.... In a drawing slump.. It's no fun, especially when I desperately need to work on my web comic T_T I hate myself. I only have one page done, and the whole first chapter is going to be at least 20 0_o I need to start working instead of doodling on my new sketchbook, and listening to Vic Mignogna! >_>; GAH! And I'm a perfectionist too...

Imagine, a procrastinator and a perfectionist. In the same body. Weird, huh? I'm a total OXY-MORON! =__= I blame Steven Harper for my emo-ness. xD

Until next time,

Snakes!

I just got back from watching Snakes on a Plane in the theatre! I personally lurved it, and plus Samuel L. Jackson is one of my favorite actors (Other than Johnny Depp. <3) The special effects of the whole movie was amazing, but some of it was quite graphic; blood and gore wise. Some things were a little farfetched that happened in the movie, but meh! It was still a good movie either way...

Anyway, sorry that I haven't posted any of my FMA story, or any pics for that matter... I promise I will make it up to you! (If anybody cares, lol)

That's all folks,

   Squee! ^W^

On Monday, my sister has to go get her laptop for university and we decided to stay the night and get the rest of our school supplies.. But to top off my day, we're going to see Snakes on a Plane!!! My mom's going to see it with me (Unwillingly, of course xD) I'm soo happy!!! Can't you tell? But the only way that my mom would with me was that I promised to watch the Hills Have Eyes with her tonight 0_0 The previews for that movie scared the Hell out of me, but I guess it's all about Equivalent Trade, eh? x3 *Total FMA dork*

Also, on another note, I just watched Final Fantasy: Advent Children yesterday. I luffed the animation and shit like that. I watched it in English though, so that was what bothered me the most. Some voices were okay, and the others weren't so okay. Once I get a little more time, I'll watch it in Japanese x3 And I absolutely adored the music score!!!! I would do anything to get a CD with the FF:AC score on it ;___; Also, just to let people know, I have never played a Final Fantasy game. EVER! I was really never interested in it, so I never played it. Meh, don't hate me for it. I'm more a fan of Resident Evil/Biohazard, Xenosaga and Harvest Moon. X_X Yes, I said it! Harvest Moon!

Anyway, I guess that's it for now!

Tootles,

Chapter - o1 - FMA Fanfic ..........................................//.

Mahh... First fanfic ever, it's unedited to expect some spelling/grammer errors xD

Enjoy...

-----

It was dark; the room was in total darkness. The windows where boarded up and the door was locked from outside. Only a single flicker from an old candle was all that was light in that room. What light was there, illuminated small details of a figure sitting, curled up in a ball on the floor. Her face was hidden; her body was short, and sort of plump. She wore dirty rags, and a hood concealed her face.

“What wouldn’t I give— to see the light,” her voice softly said into the darkness.

Suddenly, a kafuffle could be heard from outside the door. A scream startled the girl, she whispered,

“Auntie?”

Another scream echoed as something was slammed against the locked door. The girl just sat there, not sure of what was going on. Something scratched the door, the sound was irritating. The scratching was infuriating to the girl’s ears and made them hurt. She wished she could put her hands over her ears to stifle the noise. She raised her arms and then realized that most of her arms were missing. She sighed,

“You’d think I’d get used to not having arms,”

Suddenly, everything went silent and the sound of someone fiddling with the locks ricocheted around the room.

“What the—?” she gasped.

The door swung open furiously as a man bolted into the room. Blood was splattered over his face and clothes. The tears running down his face meant that something terrible has happened.

“Uncle?”

“Geno—!” He screamed as something pierced through his back.

He screamed with pain as the pointed object exited out through his chest. Blood spattered over the girl’s face. She pushed herself back to the wall with her feet, upsetting the candle. Her eyes were widened with horror as she watched her uncle be thrown across the room; she completely forgot about the fallen candle. As he was thrown, the object tore out from his skin. With a ‘thud’ he hit the wall and slid down it. Blood was smeared on the wall where he had touched it.

“Uncle?!!”

She gazed at his lifeless body and then glanced back to where he was thrown to find three dark figures standing in the doorway. One a woman and the other two appeared to be male. What appeared to be a long extended fingernail came from the woman dripped with blood. It began to shrink as the woman walked closer towards the girl. The candle’s flame climbed onto the carpet and it spiraled up the near by chair and curtains. As the woman came closer, more of her was revealed. Her entire attire was black, as was her hair. Her eyes were narrow, peered daunting and mischievous. By now, her fingernail had reached its normal length as the girl realized that the woman’s hands were clothed.

The girl whimpered as the woman knelt in front of her,

“Tell me, what is your name?”

The woman spoke softly, and the girl replied,

“—Anna, Anna Bell,”

The woman sighed; she lifted her hands and pulled the hood down from the girl’s face. It revealed a young woman’s face, half of her head was bald and the other was covered with hair. On the bald side, red scribbles were tattooed. The woman put one of her hands on the girl’s head and turned it to get a better look at the tattoo. She discovered that amongst the scribbles, an ourorboros was tattooed.

The woman smiled and asked, “Tell me your real name,”

The girl whimpered, for the fear of what the woman may do to her,

“I-I— I don’t know!”

One of the men in the doorway sighed, “It’s a dud! She doesn’t even know what she is,”

“Yes, but still— A homunculus is a homunculus; she could be useful to us,” the woman replied, examining the girl.

She pulled apart the ragged cloak that the girl wore to reveal that the girl had no arms,

“Her arms were amputated,” the woman said aloud.

“See, Lust! A dud, she couldn’t fight herself outta paper bag if her life depended on it,” the man exclaimed.

“I suppose you are right…” the woman sighed.

“Lust! Does this mean I get to eat her!?” the other man exclaimed.

“No, let’s go. The flames will take care of her,” Lust replied, standing back up and turned to walk away.
The three disappeared out of the door, talking of finding another homunculus that will help them find a strange red stone. The girl listened to the three, learning that their names were ‘Lust’, ‘Envy’ and ‘Gluttony’.

“Lust..? Homunculus?” the girl spoke, as she struggled to her knees.

What was left of her arms began to glow, and they began to grow, and transform. Her arms now looked just like the woman’s arms. Before the house collapsed, a dark figure darted out of it, running. It was the girl, running as fast as she could down the road. Her new arms and cloak flapped lifeless in the wind.

   Why not? xD

Since I am a FMA fan, as many are I have created a fan character! *Gasp* But, since I found that many people have created alchemists and other characters that are affiliated with Edward/Roy/etc/etc. I have decided to create my own homunculus! It's not that I'm complaining about the many lovers of Edward or Roy (I love them too), but there are so many to make the two of them look like pimps XD

So I decided to make a creature that is loyal to someone else. =x But no on will know until I have told my homunculus' story.

The homunculus' name is -- Genocide. Here's her credentials:

Homunculus' Name - Genocide
Meaning - Destroying an entire race of people (Think of WW2 when the Jews were killed, etc.)
Oroborous Location - Top-Left on top of her head.
Special Abilities - Telepathy, and since she has no arms, she is able to recreate somebody else's arms and use them. (Meaning she could mimic Ed's arms/Winry's/Al's/etc/etc).
Cause of Death - Unknown, for right now.
Recreated Because - Unknown, for right now.

That's all I have for right now and I have a pic of her that I sketched/ink/thinned last night (when I should have been working on my comic =__=;;)

Genocide Sketchy When I get a little more time, I'll colour it ^^

That's all for now,

Sincerly,
Riizah

   Why must people do such terrible things?

Art theivery.

Yesterday night, I witnessed for the first time, a stolen artwork. Somebody on DeviantArt.com TOOK someone else's art, who also was on DeviantArt.com

I feel bad because I commented on the stolen artwork, and didn't know it was stolen. ;___; I didn't see the rest of the theif's gallery or else I would have known. I contacted the artist who's art was stolen and notified them of the plagirism. I even apologized for commenting on it 0__0

I don't understand why people take other people's arts. I mean, it hasn't happened to me (because I'm a terrible artist) but still, it doesn't matter. Stealing is stealing, no matter how bad you suck. It still hurts when your art's taken and given a new name, without your permission.

GGGRRRR.. anyway, I need to work on my comic before I get back-handed by my friend who is helping me. I just had to get that little rant off my chest =B

Sincerly,
Riizah
