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. ]

...Okay.

[He doesn't say anything for a long moment. Then:]

If something like that happens again, promise you'll stop me.

Are you expecting it to happen again? Do you think everyone around you has a dark secret just waiting to set you off?

I'm the Female Titan, by the way. And the one who ate you. And I'm working for Thunder Corp.

[ JOKES ]

[EYEROLL]

I think you'd look even worse than me with a beard. Wanna test?

[He'll pull out the fakebeard and let you try it out, Ellie. Just say the word.]

Seriously though, I'm not expecting anything. That's the point, I have no idea what might set me off next. And if you're around when that happens, I want you to be the one to stop me.

[ ~~wouldn't ellie trying on the fakebeard be technically playercest? #IMPORTANT QUESTIONS~~ ]

I suppose I can't pass up the opportunity to hit you and have it be socially acceptable. Fine.

[ Wow being trusted feels

incredibly shit, actually ]

Just make sure I have my gear on me if you're going to titan up and then get ragey. I'm used to using peoples' bulk against them, but that'd be ridiculous.

[Oh but that reminds him]

If I titan up, do you think you can stop me without killing me? Because I remember that kind of being an issue with past me.

[Maybe he should be asking Levi to do the stopping instead...]

Yes.

[ She remembers chomping Eren out of his titan in one piece very vividly, so there's no reason she wouldn't be able to copy that with the blades. WHAT A SILLY QUESTION, ALAN. ]

You're in the nape, right? I just have to cut a piece out big enough that it doesn't cut into you. Simple.

[ Wait shit fidget time

Because 1) how is she supposed to explain how she knows the location so exactly if questioned, this is awkward as hell
and 2) MAYBE THAT WAS THE POINT OF SWALLOWING EREN WHOLE MAYBE SHE WAS SAVING HIM? ]

Yeah- is something wrong?

[Because it wouldn't occur to Alan to question her knowledge at all, but he notices the fidgeting and that's weird.]

My leg fell asleep. One of my straps must be done too tight.

[ That's the shittiest excuse ever OH LOOK A WILD SUBJECT CHANGE APPEARS ]

Speaking of you being killed. Ryan and I were talking. Don't you think it's odd? You dying by being eaten?

[GOSH ELLIE U SO WEIRD BUT WHATEVS]

Uh, I guess? If you mean it's kinda ironic for someone who can turn into a titan to be eaten by a titan.

[ UGH SO DUMB ]

No, I mean why would you have died. Couldn't you just regenerate?

I don't know if you can really regenerate from being digested.

It seems like it'd be easier than regenerating a limb. Try shoving your hand in bleach. See what happens.

And what would happen if I just kept swimming in the bleach? Seems like it'd be pretty hard to just climb out of a stomach.

Of course. How silly of me. It's almost like I thought you were in possession of some oversized boxcutter blades at the time.

I don't know, okay! I just remember being totally sure that I was gonna die. Why are you asking about it, anyway?

[ "BECAUSE I ATE YOU TOO" SAY IT

SAY ITTT

SHE'S GONNA DO IT

SHE'S GONNA SAY THE THIhahaha no she's not. Psyche. Only scummy-feeling cagey assholes here. ]

I don't know.

It just doesn't seem to fit, is all. Even the fact you'd let yourself be eaten instead of transforming.

[SHRUG]

A lot of echo stuff doesn't make any sense.

I suppose.

No getting eaten in this life. You transform instead. You know how to trigger it now? The two things you need?

[ Because she does

Annnnd she's already cooking up a plausible lie for why she'd know

GOOD TIMES ]

Uh, I guess one of those things would be bleeding? I've figured that much out on my own. But what's the other thing?

Intent. You need a clear goal, not just some vague desire to turn into a titan. I remember Reiner talking about it.

[ SLICKEST OF ALL LIES ]

Intent?

[Thinking of how that fits in with his transformations so far...]

...You are fucking kidding me. Wanting to pick up a spoon counts as "a clear goal"?

Knowing you, yes. Since apathy doesn't seem to be in your vocabulary, I can imagine you getting focused enough on cutlery to induce a transformation.

...Huh. I wonder if I could do it on purpose now.

I don't see why not. It's too risky to practice considering people are looking for you anyway, but now in an emergency you can just bite your tongue and cause a scene.

[ Luckyyyy ]

Yeah. And maybe I'll get the full deal soon. That'd be pretty sweet.

[IMAGINES STOMPING ON SHERMAN AWW YEE]
