[ the feed cuts on all of a sudden as a video being taken from above. in a trainee uniform stands a young boy with dark hair and freckles. he's got a couple of the brochures in his hands and seems to be dropping a few things that he was given while he reads over them. taking in as much information as he can. finally, he pats himself, and then tucks the brochures underneath his arm as he kneels down ]

Oops... I guess I should be a lot more careful. I hope this doesn't get me in trouble. [ he picks up the videophone, looking very calm and collected for someone who just showed up in a strange place ]

Hello, my name's Marco, member of the 104th Trainees Squad and assigned command of the 19th Trainee Squad. Could anyone give me any information? Or if I actually have to go get a job here? I kind of still have a job to do back home.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but your job back home's going to have to wait. You're probably going to be here for a while. [She offers him a smile regardless.] But not to worry! Lucky for you, there's no shortage of people here who are willing to help, and that includes me! Is there anything specific you'd like to know?

[video]

[halffreckled]

That's not good. I don't know how they'll handle it back home with someone randomly missing... I hope they don't think I'm dead. [ he swallows, looking a little worried before that worry fades ]

I don't have any specific questions. Just anything you'd like to tell me about this place would be helpful.

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

...I hope not, either. [A brief pause.] ...but, hey. The last place I was taken to, I found out that time wasn't even passing back home. I don't know if this place works the same way, but I've definitely noticed that thinking it does has eased my worry. It might help you too, so I suggest trying it!

[She winks before continuing.]

So, as I'm sure you probably already know: this isn't your world, and people here are from tons of different ones. You'll have to find a place to stay, and a job to keep said place. Still, there are worse worlds you could have been kidnapped by! ...the paperboy can be a little annoying, though.

[video]

[halffreckled]

Time stops... I honestly don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one for my home.

[ he pauses, thinking ] Are there monsters or anything here? Do they come out at night? Is that why I need shelter? Is there a time limit to when I need to find a place to stay and a job?

[video]

[skirtcladgunner]

What do you mean by that?

...monsters? There's been a dragon problem lately, if that's what you mean. Though there's controversy on whether or not it's a true "problem," from what I've seen. But no, that's not why you need shelter, and I don't think there's a time limit on either thing. Having both just makes things a hell of a lot easier, in my opinion.

[It seems like she's stressed him out a little, and she feels a tad bit bad for that.]

[video]

[halffreckled]

Well, I mean, if we were in the middle of an attack then people who were in the middle of it are just...frozen.

That's good news. There were--wait--a dragon?!

[Mikasa and Eren had been here for a few months by now and even so it was hard to believe that this place remained -- for the most part -- peaceful. Sure Genessia had it's own dangers, but nothing to match a titan attack... Or perhaps there was before she arrived there.

Still, hearing that voice and than that introduction... She flipped on the audio to respond. Except... the moment she tried to say something, nothing came out realizing it was really Marco. Marco was dead back home, but she knew about the weird time frames...

And then she realized she should actually say something. So setting down the communicator device, he might noticed the sound of the 3DM gear in the background.]

Audio; 2/2

[inhisdebt]

Marco, listen to me closely. There is no way out of this place, but I'm on my way to get you. It might take me a little while though since you're near Genessia City and I'm in Nova City right now.

[And after a while, the sound of equipment isn't nearly as loud. She'd bought casual clothing since coming here of course, but there was something about this that has urged her to wear her uniform. That being said, she's sort of made it a habit to wear her uniform more than needed. Carrying her 3DM gear on her was a normal thing for her.]

This is going to sound crazy, but you're stuck here like the rest of us and there's no known way out yet. That being said, I've been told by a few people that time works differently here and time seems to freeze back home while we're here. I can't verify this for myself, but I'm not in the position to believe otherwise either.

[Grabbing the device, you might hear the door open as she heads out of her apartment that Eren and her shared.]

Audio;

[halffreckled]

M-Mikasa?! [ what was she doing here? she was needed at home a hell of a lot more than him! ] Aren't you... Where's Eren? Is he frozen back home?!

Is this place even real? It seens so nice here...compared to our home. [ he pauses ] I'll wait here. I've been here a while just reading over these pamplets.

Audio;

[inhisdebt]

[Seeing his surprise is not really.... surprising. She's been there before. So while she's holding the device, there's also some background noise that suggests she's using her 3DM gear.]

Eren is here with us as well, but you're the first person besides us to come here.

Unfortunately, this world is as real as it gets. There are other dangers that await here, but there have been no sightings of titans here. It's.... a little weird to have the free time and peace here that we never had back at home. To be honest, I'm still adjusting and I've been here for a few months.

That being said... [There was a pause as she continued moving.] What is the last thing you remember?

Audio;

[halffreckled]

I remember being assigned to the breech on Wall Rose from the titans. I believe I was getting ready... Then I came here.

[ he raises a brow ] No titans or anything? I feel like...it'll probably be hard to adjust here too.

Audio;

[inhisdebt]

[So he was still alive when her was pulled here... There was no way she could say something like that to him though. She had no reason to, either.]

I see... I'm from a further time point than you are then. The last I remember was taking down an intelligent titan... Someone else like Eren to some extent. Or rather... I was just about to attack her.

[On a lighter note....]

There's some of the outside world here. Somebody here showed me what an "arcade" was or what "video games" are. I can't say they're really something that I'm used to. There are also things called "cars" around here. They're sort of like carriages, but you don't need a horse to pull it. It seems to have some sort of technology to pull itself.

[behindthefakesmile]

It might get you into trouble.

[He's just teasing.]

But nice to meet you. I'm sure someone has already said that odds are you won't be getting back home to your job any time soon. Which is fun because it means you'll have to find a job to do here and sometimes getting a job at something you are good at can be quite easy, depending on what skills you have.

video;

[halffreckled]

Oh no, I hope it's really a lot of trouble... [ he looks worried. LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE ]

I've been told a few times... [ he sighs lightly ] I don't...really know what I would be good at here.

video;

[behindthefakesmile]

It depends on what you've done. [Not helping at all.]

Then you know what, the best way of finding out is to try a few jobs and see what helps. Start with something small and easy to do then work up.

video;

[halffreckled]

Just...dropping this device. [ he looks like a deer in headlights. seriously is it that bad??? ]

You can just jump around on jobs? That makes me a little more relieved.

video;

[behindthefakesmile]

Oh, the sentence for that wouldn't be that bad. A few days in jail maybe.

[Why is he smiling when he says that?]

You can if you want to. After all people want to find something they can do. Although I never did it myself.

video;

[halffreckled]

T-That won't do! It wasn't even that horrible!

Really? ...What kind of job do you have here?

video;

[firefandance]

[Yukiko moved her fingers through her head before placing a few stray strands behind her ear.]

Since it's safe to assume you are new here, I should tell you there is a place you can go to for help. If you don't have a place but want to take the time there are hotels and inns too.

video;

[halffreckled]

Really? What place is that?

I don't know if I'd want to live in an inn for very long...

video;

[firefandance]

It's kind of like a welcome centre people go to when they are new and want to know something.

[She shakes her head.]

You won't have to, you'll can for at least a few nights for a decent price, but the centre is also there to help you find a place to.

video;

[halffreckled]

That's really good to know. I appreciate the information.

I... Didn't get your name. Sorry, I've got a million things on my mind right now.

video;

[firefandance]

Ah, that's alright. I can understand having so many thoughts when one first arrives.

But my name is Yukiko Amagi. I'm the owner of the Amagi Inn that is near the bay.

[spacedragonmonk]

Yeah well, you ain't the only one with shit waiting on ya back home, berk.

[Says the purplish woman in robes] But everyone keeps saying 'nah berk, you're stuck here. deal with it', so if ya wanna keep eatin', prolly should get a job, yeah?

[Video]

[halffreckled]

Ah... [ he actually just blinks. was this just how she was? or what she being rude? it had to be the first one ]

Y-Yeah, I should probably do that. But, I'm not exactly sure what I would even be good at here.
