So it's looking like more and more of us remember stuff like giants and titans and the 3DMGs and the Survey Corps... I was thinking maybe we should all get together and share what we know with each other? Maybe we can have a better idea of what this "world" was and why all our past lives had that in common. Who knows, we might learn something that can help us out now.

Obviously, we're all in a bit of a bind with how tough things are, but since Bertl and I can't really go outside... maybe you guys could come here? You guys can bring some snacks and stuff and we'll just talk about things. I mean, I know our memories can get kinda gruesome, but it'll help to share and know you're not alone, right?

Of course, uh, this means you guys are gonna have to see my face, so... let me know if you want me to show you now so you don't flip out in front of all of us, haha.

[ That's... a thing that happened, yeah. ]

So, whaddya say?

Seems like a good idea to me. Feels like there's more of us every week.

I also second the snacks.

[voice]

[schild]

Right, I dunno what it is about these titans, but they sure get around...

Unfortunately, you're gonna have to bring your own snacks. Bertl and I haven't had to eat in weeks.

[voice]

[hungryhunter]

You don't have to eat?

...Do you know what would happen if you did it anyway?

[Sure, he didn't know the man who made this post, but the mention of not being able to go outside catches his interest. A bit of morbid curiosity that he couldn't control.]

...How bad is it?

[Voice]

[schild]

My skin's hardened and my jaw can do this weird... thing where it unhinges and you can see all the flesh underneath. So it's pretty bad.

Not to mention I've already made two kids freak out at the sight of it, so...

[ So he's really self-conscious... ]

That sounds like a great idea. But, uh... might be kind of hard for me to make it. You know, with the whole on the run from the law thing and everything.

I figured as much. Obviously you don't have to... maybe we can patch you in through the network?

Is this really a good idea, considering the increased police activity?

[schild]

It's only going to get work, making this harder. Some of this stuff is sensitive... it'll be easier to share when it's just a couple of us versus the whole network, don't you think?

Ooh.

Show me!

Seriously? You sure? It's gotten worse since last time...

[ Das so rude, Shiro. ]

I'm all for it, but...

[ You know who doesn't really have any knowledge re: the titan-people? This guy. ]

What's wrong with your face...?

voice;

[schild]

I echoed some of what the old-me used to look like. As a titan. So my face is kinda... Well, armor-y.

[struckout]

I haven't really been paying attention, I guess. What sort of... giants are you talking about?

[ Plus that other stuff he mentioned, but- for some reason, she feels more compelled to ask after the titans the most. Her voice is soft, a little tense, but steady. ]

[schild]

Ah, well... Some of us remember these giant creatures that... ate people. And we used this weird gear to fight them, since they could only killed by slicing certain spots in the backs of their necks.

They were called titans. Not the Greek type, though.

[wasthatmymom]

Um, I....I promise I won't freak out this time, Ryan...

[schild]

Hey, don't worry about it. I mean, I look pretty scary.

[ And nevermind the bad memories, of course. ]

wait, what the fuck is the survey corps? i hate surveys. i don't want anything to do with surveys. i'd like to formally opt out.

on the other hand now i'm curious about your face. also i guess it's kind of important for me to hear these things so i'll be there.

but i'm not taking any surveys.

[schild]

Survey like... Recon. Scouting. Not actually like... surveys. More like "Surveying the land" kind of thing.

Do you want to see my face, are you ready for this?

[ More like are you ready for your free echo? ]

[Ryan may or may not have asked Bertholdt about this beforehand, but he's too much of a pushover to say no anyway so he just sighs.]

How many people do you think will come...?

[schild]

Well, it's Ellie, Alan, Connie, Sasha, Walter, that new guy... and both of us. I think that's everybody?

So you're saying if I come I can get 3DMG or whatever it is?
[The other guy said no, maybe this one will say yes! Begging, a art worth mastering of those below the age of consent. That sounds really dirty, doesn't it?]

[schild]

Nice try, but no. We're not exactly handing those out, y'know.

[betroth]

I'm afraid I don't remember much yet, but — maybe this will help bring me up to speed. If what they say about the pulses are true. Having this equipment and knowing nothing about it seems like so much of a waste. Ah, the 3D gear, that is.

voice.

[schild]

You got one too?

[ Now here's someone he doesn't recognize. For now. ]

Don't worry about it. Some of us have been in this for a lot longer than most, it looks like. It's totally normal for you to not remember everything right off the bat, but I'm hoping that if enough of us get together, we might learn something new.

I'm Ryan, by the way.
