[ 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?

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.

...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.

[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.]

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.]

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.

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?

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.]

[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?

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.

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?!

[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.

A female titan?! [ he literally shouts it. he wasn't expecting to hear that at all ]

So they're things like this "videophone". Does this mean that we're in the future? Did everyone get taken into the future too? Or are they from the same time as everything here? [ he's still rambling off questions, his face getting pale and his voice getting lower and lower...then he passes out, dropping the phone onto the ground. so much for staying calm ]

[She's not about to tell him who it was since Annie wasn't here]

Well, in some nearer future, but I don't know how far. Some people are from the same time period of later even. It depends on the people and their worlds.

[And then she heard what was going on and...]

Marco? Hey! Marco! Stay with me here!

Marco!

[And then she head a loud clump and then the sound of the device falling to the ground.]

Damn it! Hold on, Marco. I'm on my way!

[He couldn't hear that probably, but nonetheless she picked up her pace as she turned hers off to focus more on getting there faster.]

[ none of this made any sense at all. none of it! and knowing that only the three of them were here... where was everyone else? frozen? or was that just something to ease his mind? was Jean okay? maybe he took on too much responsibility at once...

when Mikasa gets to his location, he'll be lying on the ground with the brochures scattered everywhere and holding the map to his chest. he's definitely out cold but maybe this is a much needed nap for him ]

[By the time she finally made it, she let out a small sigh. Picking up some of his stuff, she gather it all together and set it down for a moment to grab Marco and pick him up. If she could carry both Armin and Eren over her shoulder, she could just as easily carry Marco and his stuff. She just couldn't use her 3DM gear. So starting to walk after picking him up and carrying his stuff, she started the long trip back to her apartment for the time being.]

[ he wouldn't stay out for long. probably half way on her way back, he starts to stir ]

Uhh... What...

Oh good, you're finally awake.

[And you're still being held over her shoulder.]

I can assume from that you can wake on your own now, correct?

Yeah, of course I can...

Can you put me down now? [ his face is probably red from just knowing that Mikasa had to carry him ] Sorry about that.

[Sorry Marco. It was easier to carry you like this. But she stopped to set him down. Once he was on his feet and balanced enough, she offered his things.]

I didn't mean to overload you, so I'm sorry about that.

[Although there was so much more to this place that he hadn't heard about yet...]

Eh, it's more like no matter how long you're here, not even a split second will have passed once you get back...

[Oh shit, now it looks like she's panicked him.]

Yeah, dragons. I don't really know much about it, but the fact that I don't should be enough evidence that you're not in immediate danger, right? [The poor guy. She really hadn't meant to make this worse for him.]

Edited 2015-01-31 02:15 (UTC)

No, no, I did it to myself. I started worrying about everyone and home... I just overwhelmed myself with a lot of questions. [ he took all of his brochures from her, beginning to look them over again ]

Is there...anything else I need to know about this place that I haven't asked yet?

Really? That's incredible. How is that even possible?

Dragons don't-- [ well. people could say that titans don't exist too... he stops himself from saying anything else ] Y-Yeah. I hope I never come in contact with the dragon.

Edited 2015-01-31 02:21 (UTC)

[She let out a small sigh.]

Well... To be honest... there's a lot you should know about that I haven't even gotten to yet.

There are four cities around here, but Eren and I live in Nova City currently. There's Everglade, Genessia City, Nova City, and Attleton. Since Nova City has taller buildings, we figured that would be the better place to live since it helps with the 3DM gear.

Do you both live together? [ boy was that an obvious question. of course they did Marco, jeez. why wouldn't they? he almost wanted to ask if he could stay with them. just for the time being. he didn't know anyone else after all... but he decided not to say anything. he didn't want to intrude ]

How did you get here with your gear? Did Eren come with his gear too?
