[At the beginning of the message, there's an image. Bertholdt's still far too shy to make a video post or something, but the gear is there as well as the straps and his Scouting Legion cloak wrap.]

I hadn't looked in my storage closet for a few weeks... and this was inside when I went to get my good winter jacket ...not that I really need it with how... warm my body is now, but Ellie is still insisting on it for some reason?

Uh, anyway. I definitely can't use this stuff, even if my past self did. My skin is... too tight, it's hard to move normally let alone... uh-- do that sort of stuff.

So, uhm... if anyone... wants to take it... really far away from me... that'd be great...

I put it back... in the closet, but uh, now I can't stop thinking about it being there s-so... someone should just uh-- take it off my hands, please.

[Please. Ryan doesn't need to get excited about it either...!!!]

oh you got your gear too thats cool. you shouldnt throw it away though. you might still need it.

[toobig]

I definitely cannot use it, ever.

Even if my skin wasn't peeling off, I would definitely not be able to.

[wirsinddiejager]

youll probably eventually remember how. Ryan does and hes awesome at it.


also what the fuck your skin is peeling off???

[shortspoken]

You can't throw away things you get from echoes. They come back. Give it to Ryan.

I didn't know you were in the group with the wings...

[toobig]

I don't want him hurting himself though...

And uh, I guess I was. It matches the jacket Alan has.

[shortspoken]

He won't hurt himself. He's reasonably good at using it.
(And for when he inevitably reads that and starts patting himself on the back: he's not as good as me.)

I know. I asked Alan about the cloaks when I remembered them a while ago.
I'm pretty sure I didn't have one.

[ Too late, Bertl... Ryan's in the other room, but that doesn't stop him... ]

!!! You got your gear back and you didn't tell me? This is awesome, you should hang onto it!

[toobig]

[SIGHS!!!!]

I just found it a few minutes ago... Uh, I definitely don't need it so I'd rather it not be here.

[schild]

Well, that's true... But I mean, it looks kinda cool, right?

[ Ryan might not be into leather but he could be. For you, Bertl. ]

[dododo]

Your skin feels too tight...?

[toobig]

Uh, yeah... It's been getting tighter over my body for a month or two now. I feel like it's going to split off of me if I move wrong...

[dododo]

An Echo then, I assume.

Have you gotten that looked at?

[caosgo]

Like the person above said, if you get an object, it's pretty difficult to get rid of. Sorry.

If it brings back bad memories, maybe you could cover it with something, or put it in a box?

[toobig]

The problem is my boyfriend finding it and thinking it's cool.

[caosgo]

Ah. You'll have to excuse me, but why would that be a problem?

[he's fairly sure the boyfriend referenced is the guy who replied to the FAQ post, if he's remembering their numbers and past posts correctly. If they're both on the network, what would the issue be?]

[hollowleg]

but that gear is cool. what is it? what's it for?

why's yoru skin tigh tman

[toobig]

For... hm, fighting Titans I think?

From an Echo.... I think, uh, it's going to split open...

[honestopinion]

[It's--!!

It's that guy from the bus, the one from the other day that helped him find his stop. He doesn't really remember his name.. nor does Jamie remember that gear. He's never seen it in his life and yet he knows it front to back.

He wants it, he needs it.] I-I'll take it.

[toobig]

[Jamie. He knows you.]

I'm not going to give it to a middle schooler, sorry.

[somesayinfire]

If it's not too much trouble, I've been meaning to get a closer look at one of those setups. Mostly to see if it's something I'd be able to use and/or get someone to reverse engineer.

[toobig]

You can come over and look at it, if you want? I just don't want it here...

[betroth]

oh!! you too! :D that's it, isn't it? 3DMG...

[toobig]

I think that's what it's called... There's six really sharp blades, I don't want anything to do with it.

[enrages]

have you ever considered the fact that you've developed a terrible form of late-developmental eczema??

[toobig]

It's not a rash, it's... just thin?
