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?

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

But!!

Why? You guys don't even want it and I do.
I'm telling you I totally know whats up with ah- whatever, the 3DMG thing. Yeah, I know it's not on google and stuff but it's totally something I've had to of seen before.

[ You know Ryan is weak, Jamie. You exploit his kind heart... ]

Well, I mean... You could give it a try, yeah. But I would talk to Ellie if you need to learn how to use it. Obviously, it's important to stay safe with how dangerous things are getting...

Ryan Brown, he is thirteen. There's no way we're letting a kid his age use the gear!

voice/action?

[schild]

Oh, come on, Bertl! Weren't we pretty young in these when we started?

[ "These" being their memories. He doesn't remember the age, but he sure didn't feel old... ]

old married couple?;

[toobig]

I can't tell just from the memories, you always look like you're forty.

voice;

[schild]

[ Let's just say the network is picking this up... ]

Hey! I do not look forty! You telling me you can't tell the difference between me at 15 and me at 25? Come on!

[ He's gonna ask his mom to mail him his highschool year book at this rate. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

You kind of do always look forty.

voice;

[schild]

'Always,' meaning...?

voice;

[wirsinddiejager]

You know, in both lives. When you were my age and now that you're older.

voice;

[schild]

I really always looked like this...?

voice;

[wirsinddiejager]

Pretty much. There's way less of a difference than between Jamie and his past life guy, at least.

voice;

[schild]

Weird... I mean, does that mean I look younger now, or old me just looked really, really old? I'm a little concerned...

[ not like... super concerned but. ]

[toobig]

Not in the old forty way, just in the ....dad forty way...

[He sounds a little sad though. Don't yell at him for a joke...!]

[schild]

O-oh. That's what you meant.

[ nooo don't sound sad, Bertl, Ryan's just sensitive!! He'll go over and wrap his arms around Bertl's waist anyway. ]

Just as long as you don't mind me "looking forty," then that's fine.

[toobig]

[Aaah, hugs. He's pouting a little but he doesn't stop it.]

It's not like it's a bad thing...

[schild]

It's just a little weird to picture, that's all. Fifteen years from now... looking like this? I can live with that.

[ A squeeze. ]

As long as you're there with me, that is.

[toobig]

I-I'm sure you'll look better than me, at least...

[schild]

That won't matter to me. You could be old and wrinkly and I still wouldn't care.

[ Gosh, you realize he just said he wants to spend the next 15 years of his life with you, right Bertl? If Ryan didn't have a whole proposal set up, this would be the perfect time. ]

Sweet! So I can have it try it if I come to your party thing? How will I convince my mom though? Will you have Nintendo/PS3 or do I have to provide all the entertainment?

text;

[schild]

You can try it and we'll see how you do.

Can you say you're going to a friend's house? I know Ellie can probably pick you up... We might do it at night, just in case, so I guess you could tell her you're spending the night...?

[ Gosh, he feels bad telling a kid to lie to his mom... ]

text;

[honestopinion]

Yeah yeah.. I'll think of something.
[What friends? Jamie doesn't really know anyone in this city..]

If you promise I can try it out AND take it home I think I can make it to the party.

text;

[schild]

I can't guarantee you taking them home; they're Bertholdt's, not mine, but I promise you'll get to try it on at least. Scout's honor.

text;

[honestopinion]

Even if your boyfriend says no? Because he's gonna.

text;

[schild]

I'll talk to him. You can at least try. No guarantees on keeping 'em, though.
