[It's hard to tell if Eren turned his device on by accident or on purpose. He seems pretty zoned out, not even looking at the camera.]

I hit my commanding officer off a motorized bike with a soccer ball.

[Oh God, Eren. Why do you look so scared.]

Eren, I'm sure he won't be upset. [Maybe.]

[titanocidal]

Teg- [Er.]

Lady Hellsing!

[LONG AWKWARD PAUSE WITH SOME LONG AWKWARD STARING.]

[humanities_greatest]

[Teg. Yeah. That's an awkward thing to say but she doesn't look mad. She looks upset.]

It wasn't your fault. It wasn't any of our faults.

[titanocidal]

It still happened. [It's hard to see her the same way as before. Something about her definitely felt softer to him, and it's making him feel a little more inclined to talk openly with her.]

All of it did.

[humanities_greatest]

Just because it happened, it doesn't necessarily make it your given reality. We were all manipulated, deceived to believe something that wasn't real.

[titanocidal]

But...

[Didn't you have fun hanging out together? Wasn't that real, at the time?]

You're right. The situations are different, and our actions were based off of those situations. It would probably be easiest to think of it like a dream.

Just another weird dream.

[REALLY? DON'T TELL EVERYONE.]

Eren.

[titanocidal]

I'm very sorry, sir!

And also, I'm sorry that I called you a [Mumble mumble]

[humanities_strongest]

[For god sakes, Eren--]

I'm not going to hit you for something this place made you do.

[BECAUSE WHY ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE DONE THAT, YOU LITTLE SHIT.]

[titanocidal]

I need a second to let this sink in!

[Okay. Deep breath.]

No. I'm pretty sure that was still me. I have to take responsibility for it.

[humanities_strongest]

[God damnit Eren.]

Do you want me to hit you?

[titanocidal]

If you want to, you can! -If that's your way of accepting my apology, sir.

[Fidgets. Looks off to the side.]

Not to speak out of place, but maybe you should think about apologizing to Armin, too? For the drag thing.

[ausdauer]

Interesting.

[ video ] 1/2

[titanocidal]

[Well, that's one way to snap him out of his stupor.]

[ video ] 2/2

[titanocidal]

Annie.

[There's a rough timber in his voice- anger. Between that and the snarl, he looks like a dog held back by a very thin leash.]

I've wanted to talk to you.

Re: [ video ] 2/2

[ausdauer]

[She placed her finger against her mouth briefly in thought, she half thought to say something serious but refrained. Instead, she made an exhausted sigh and shook her head.]

That's not how you talk to girls, Eren.

[titanocidal]

Screw yourself. [How is that? Better?

He's lucky he doesn't know where she's at. If he did, he might not be able to stop himself from hunting her down.]

Armin says you're playing nice, but I'm not so sure about that. How long will it last, now that everyone is here?

[ausdauer]

[Annie amused herself with her dry sarcasm, the responses were funnier than the delivery to her. She rested her hand on top of her cheek and looked off camera for a minute. Whenever Armin's name was brought up, she felt a tinge of guilt and remember what he said.]

Who said I was playing?

[titanocidal]

[Words are the only weapon he has right now. He knows he should hold back, ignore Annie and let Armin deal with her, but he can't. It's just not in him yet.]

Because playing nice is all you can do. You're not really a nice person. [He used to think she was, but... he knows better now.]

[mph]

[ Sorry man, Tommy's laughing about it. ]

That sounds awesome.

[titanocidal]

[Ey. What the hecks ur problem kid???]

It's not. It's really not...

I called him short, too. I mean, he IS short, but... there are some things you just don't say to people.

video;

[mph]

[ Kid? Takes one to know one. ]

See, I've never seen it that way. As far as I'm concerned, you say what you feel and everyone's on the same page, though it helps if you can run away fast enough so they can't kick your ass for it.

[titanocidal]

[Dude, that's a lame comeback. A kid so would use that.]

Yeah, well. No one can escape Captain Levi, once he's got his sights set. [It's hard to tell if that's dread or admiration in his voice. Probably a mix of both]

[mph]

Sounds like a challenge to me. What's this Captain Levi look like?

[ Bring it, kid. ]

[titanocidal]

Hmmm... Kind of short, but really well built? Dark hair, always frowning.

Oh! And he wears one of those... neck handkerchief things.

[He finally stops and takes a good, honest look at Tommy.]

Why? You aren't planning on purposely starting something, are you?
