Who: the naked, dickless giant club
What: Attack on Echo Party
Where: Bertholdt's (and Ryan's) Apartment
When: Sunday, December 8 (evening, but not too late... because kids, y'know?)
Warnings: Spoilers for Attack on Titan all over.

[ At last, the big day has come. The Echo party. Sasha was bringing snacks, and Ryan and Bertholdt even decked the place out in Christmas decorations-- they have a real tree and everything. Their apartment looks, in a word, festive, which is adorable given that they're wearing matching christmas sweaters and fidgeting around a bit. ]

[ Now just pretend Ryan and Bertl don't look kinda titan-y and you're all set. And forget about the part where they're having a bunch of kids over to discuss their ridiculously depressing past lives... Well. You feel me. ]

[ So yeah!!! THIS IS IT!! Just for reference, I'm putting a "Start" (ie: for people getting to the party if you wanna awkwardly greet people or so you can handwave that too) and then just saying like "later" or whatever for Ryan's big heck up, you guys are free to start threads whenever/wherever just say when in the subject if you wanna. (so like, 3DMG showing offs and PS3 fun times, etc. go crazy!!) ]

[ Here's the plot post for reference. ]

[Alan knocks on the door.

Alan is wearing a bushy, horrendous black beard.

Discuss.]

[honestopinion]

W-what the hell are you wearing...
[Voice quiet like the start of any social event for Jamie, still laced with annoyance however. Gotta put on that facade for YEAGER.]

[wirsinddiejager]

A disguise.

[Completely straight face. He doesn't even have the decency to be embarrassed.]

[honestopinion]

You look like a twelve year-old normally, how would anyone think that's a real beard?
[Jamie doesn't, thus no one should.]

[wirsinddiejager]

The cops are really stupid. Also shut up, at least I look older than you.

[shortspoken]

[ Ellie is here, too. She is pretending very hard that she cannot see the beard. She can will it away if she tries hard enough. She can hate the beard out of existence. She can do it. She just can't acknowledge the beard as being A Thing.

She is also still carrying the backpack she rescued from Alan's house weeks ago. Because she has been too busy ignoring the beard to think to give him it. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

[Sorry, Ellie. The beard's not going anywhere. Its power is too great to be overcome by your hatred.]

By the way, are you actually gonna give me that bag, or...?

[shortspoken]

[ Don't mention the beard don't mention the beard don't look at it just don't nope there is no beard. Hand the bag over, Ellie. You can do it. Atta girl. No beard. Beard does not exist. What is a beard anyway NOBODY KNOWS ]

Sure.

Hair you go.

[ FUCK ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Did you really just say that.

[schild]

Wow, you look.... different.

[ Says the armor-faced guy. He's trying to be nice, really. ]

Guess you can take that off now that you're inside, right?

[wirsinddiejager]

It's a pretty good disguise, right?

[Don't shatter his dreams, baradad. But yes, taking it off.]

You have no idea how itchy this thing is.

[schild]

Yeeeeah...

[ Ryan sighs. Oh, children. ]

Was the beard Octavia's idea?

[ This kind of far-fetched thing? Definitely Octavia. ]

[wirsinddiejager]

Uh-huh. She made it, too. Y'know, so that I can go outside.

[SHE'S SO TALENTED]

[waltharius]

[ The sight of Mini-Barba Alan makes him double take. Wow, that. Wow. ]

That's an... interesting choice, Alan.

[wirsinddiejager]

Almost didn't recognise me, right? That's the idea.

[SUCH A CUNNING DISGUISE]

[waltharius]

Well... not immediately, I guess. But honestly, the sight of a teenager with a full, luxurious beard is pretty attention-grabbing by itself.

[ AND THEN SOMEONE MIGHT RECOGNIZE YOU WHEN THEY LOOK CLOSE worry worry fret fret ]

[anequal]

...

Is that Octavia's hair?

[wirsinddiejager]

...

Yes.

[anequal]

... Ew!

That's gross, Alan, you're wearing someone's hair on your face?!

[toobig]

... Alan.

[Bertholdt's not one to judge (maybe,)but...]

What are you doing?

[wirsinddiejager]

Wearing a disguise.

[toobig]

And... your only option was a terrorist beard...?

[hungryhunter]

...Alan?

[Oh god she's trying so hard not to laugh but there's a chuckle here and there slipping through. ]

It's uh...good to see you!

[wirsinddiejager]

You too.

[Meanwhile Alan is completely serious. This is no laughing matter.]

[hungryhunter]

[The seriousness throws her off. Makes her feel kinda bad. So her demeanor shifts to something a lot more awkward.]

So uh, how've you been holding up?
