c) Morning Training

[everylastone]

After a fair share of getting distracted doing stupid things careful assessing of his situation Eren finally arrived at the area he had set out to find this morning: the training place for the local forces. The young soldier had no intention to join any other case than his own and that of the Scouting Legion, but as he was already here he had decided that he might as well find out as much as possible about those who had ‘taken him’ for the lack of a better word.

(He still felt guilty and worried whenever he thought about his friends and the others who had been with him when he had fallen asleep on the cart. Were they all fine? Had they been ambushed and forced to flee, leaving him temporarily behind? Why only him? Or worse, had they been killed!?

No. Nonononono, don’t think about that, they would have had to go through Mikasa and Corporal both first and they were strong… -!!)

Forcing himself to cut the silent mantra of ‘Don’t think about it, there has to be a reason!’ that was taking over his thoughts short Eren decided to concentrate on analyzing what he assumed to be one of the trainee corps of this city instead – and found himself unabashedly staring like an idiot at the next best person in front of him.

“Wow! I’ve never seen something like that before!”

i am sorry

[bowdown]

[ ooc: Per usual. If ghetto talk/fish-puns bother, let me know and I can drop them! ]

[ The next best person in front of him is hardly considered part of the trainee corps of this city because she is there to give cake and promote her business and judge everyone and everything like the condescending asshole she is. Instead she is a fish-troll with like huge amounts of unruly hair that may or may not engulf someone if they aren't careful enough; at least today she isn't wearing flashy pink clothes (though her usual clothes are always pretty weird, involving black and pink and Pisces zodiac symbol)

And Condesce was kind of just passing by, looking at the idiots and was about to go on with her business when she hears the guy next to her talking to her? ]

The fuck do I care?

Don't be! This is beautiful! XD

[everylastone]

[Eren hasn’t really expected any sort of reply but now that he has got one he doesn’t hesitate to continue]

Well, that hair color! And I might be wrong but I’m pretty damn sure that that person is an oriental t-

[until he takes a look at just who has replied to him, exactly. She was grey. And had fin- ... thing- ....ears. That are ears, right? Really big and pointy and somewhat dangerous looking ears.

... She has really weirdly colored lips and eyes, too. And horns. And really strange clothes and what would count as a really hot body with enough dark hair to drown a child in it.


He stares for a moment longer because, really, what the hell do you say when you suddenly meet a thing like that. It probably shows on his face too, because he has never been good at hiding his emotions from showing through.

After a long pause he finally lets out a shaky laugh.]

...Wow. I guess I just found the one that Commander Pixis keeps looking for.

[bowdown]

[ just watch her glare a bit at that laugh, Eren. Condesce is everything but impressed with his staring and comments and that laugh definitively didn't sit well with her.

But. Well.

The troll smirks wide.

Eren, meet Condesce's shark teeth. Condesce's shark teeth, meet Eren.]

Watch'ya carpin' aboat, shrimp?

[everylastone]

[He takes a step back at seeing those teeth, but the expression on his face shows only determination and no fear as he bares his own (round, stubby human ones) right back at her. He has seen one titan too many to be still impressed by things like that.]

Oh, nothing. Just that you remind me of something somebody once said, you know?

[bowdown]

[ Eren, she hates humans like you 38| to be fair, she hates all kinds of humans

The troll tilts her head as she crosses her arms. ]

Ain't dat good. Shame they di'in't tell yo ass naut to stare, cuz you might lose your glance nuggets, guppy.

[00110010_00110011]

Psii had gotten breakfast, as usually did, and was, as usually did, taking circuitous route around training grounds to avoid "Betty Crocker" and her cake stand. Nutrition plateau was piled as high as ever with sweet breakfast foods.

At human's exclamation, Psii looked back, puzzled. "Like... pancakes?"

[everylastone]

Puzzled at the unexpected question, Eren blinked. "Pancakes? No, I know what they are.." They sometimes had them for dinner.

"It's the-" He trails off, visibly trying not to twitch as he sees the second grey-skinned person within less than an hour. "You know what? Just forget that I said anything... and, uh, nice costume?"

[00110010_00110011]

"Isn't a costume. Am a troll."

Hadn't really thought question was about breakfast foods, but found it odd to think of awe sufficient for 'wow' to be used being applied to self.

oops, wrong icon and tense up there, sorry!

[everylastone]

"Oh. I'm sorry?"

He wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say or if he had just put his foot right into his mouth again, but considering that that teeth-monster lady apparently was te same kind as this guy and said guy had what looked like a double-set of discolored teeth growing out of his head instead of horns... It seemed acceptable. Adequate, even.

I didn't even notice!

[00110010_00110011]

Psii tipped head. "Isn't any reason to be sorry. Am used to humans staring at."

Had done his fair share of staring at them, when first arrived in Death City. They were all so... squishy. Still wasn't sure how they stayed as uninjured as they seemed to.

"Assume you're new import?"

[sayatakagi]

[ Saya just finished training a bit and his currently drinking water from her bottle when she notices Eren. At first she doesn't say anything - newcomers, she is used to them by now - but when she hears his exclamation, the girl turns her head to look at him. ]

Something like what?

[everylastone]

[It would be sensitive for Eren to be less blunt, but the green-eyed boy is rarely sensitive.]

Your hair. [His eyes are serious and totally earnest as he moves closer into a comfortable talking range. The moment he is close enough to get a good look at her face his eyes widen.] No way! You're an oriental?!

[sayatakagi]

What's wrong with it?

[ Saya shrugs, reaching to touch her own hair a bit surprised because it has never been an issue, until she hears that last comment.


Creep. This guy's a creep.


She may or may not step away from him she definitively does ]

[everylastone]

Nothing! I mean-

[He follows her by taking a step forward, shaking his head in disbelieving wonder but unable not to smile at the revelation.]

It's hard to believe that I'm talking with one! Everybody thought you all were eaten decades ago! This is awesome!

[sayatakagi]

[ she stops (freezes) when she hears the comment about being eaten.

She would act less surprised and less serious and maybe less interested if that hadn't hit so close to home. ]

What are you talking about?

[fujigglephysics]

[Fujino keeps silent, expecting someone else to answer. But, when she glances around and sees that there isn't anybody else near them, she finally does turn to him.]

...are you talking to me?

[everylastone]

[Oops, she heard him! Eren fidgets for a moment, realizing that what he has done might have been just a tad bit impolite.]

I, er, yes?

[fujigglephysics]

[She laughs softly as she gives a dismissive hand wave.]

That's all right, no need to be nervous. Now, what exactly was it that has caught your attention?

[everylastone]

Your hair. It has a really unusual color.

[fujigglephysics]

...

[Her mouth opens as she's about to say something, but she closes it and chooses to give a weird, awkward stare in return while the silence lasts for nearly a minute as she racks through her mind for a response.]

...yes? And it's natural?

[w e l p, way to make things even more weird.]

[diedforyoursins]

[this one's pretty european as far as features go so that's not too weird, but the whole abino thing probably is. whoops.

he'd been pretty used to people giving him weird looks for it back home too, but after spending a while here where he's far from the strangest thing around, he'd almost forgotten that he was kinda eerie-looking himself.]

...Excuse me?

[everylastone]

[There is a short moment of awkward before Eren decides to simply screw manners for now. This is too exciting!]

I've never seen eyes and hair like that before. Where do you come from?

[diedforyoursins]

[he blinks for a moment, looking perplexed until he reminds himself of his own appearance.]

Ah...my world was called Earth, like this one. But it was very different from most variations I have heard of. This was not normal there either, however.

[everylastone]

[He isn't sure what to say in reply to that so have another moment of awkward staring as Eren's brain tries to catch up with all that new information.]

Was it bad for you?
