▲1st Sin - Video - Action

[The aftermath of Eren at least being able to closeup the wall but finding out about the Female Titan has left a bit of a hole in her heart. They were all going to be friends and take back the world together, weren't they? Why did it happen the way it happened....

Sighing, she looks down at her device with squinting eyes and curiosity. Changing her glance, she stares at the forums, money and other goods that are given upon arrival.

This has to be some kind of cruel prank or odd joke... Weren't they on their way, riding towards the outskirts of the walls together? And Ymir was no where to be seen...

Looking back at her device, she bites her lip with a small shrug and stares at the camera.]

I think I'm lost.

Christa?!

I need you to stay where you are. I'll come find you. Is there anything you're confused about right now? Besides everything.

[There's a slight startle when the device has a familiar voice and her name coming out of it. She fumbles with it for a moment before seeing a familiar face that greatly offers comfort.]

Jean! You're not hurt, are you? I didn't think I'd see a friend.

I'm fine. I'm glad you're all right. [He's serious. He doesn't want to think about any of his friends being hurt, and for Christa to appear as well as any of them could be is a relief.]

If you're cold, there are a few buildings nearby that are safe, if you'd rather wait there. Just tell me if you decide to go to one of them, I shouldn't be too long.

Mm, I'm very glad of the same. [Offers a small smile for comfort however she can.

Looking around, she shakes her head before looking back at her feed.] I'll stay here. A good soldier never wanders especially if a comrade is risking themselves coming to their aid.

I'll wait for you here, don't worry.

[Aw she's so cute. He catches himself from stumbling over his words when he considers what she says.]

You're no help to your comrades if you're dead. I'm hardly risking myself here. Your survival comes first right now, understand?

Just tell me if you change your mind.

[Gives another shake of her head.] Mm, don't worry! I'll stay put.

That's true. We have to stay alive so we can take back our homes. And..find a way out of this place, of course.

What is this place anyways, if I can ask? Are we at risk of Titans in the area?

[The Bay is generally safe, so he's not too worried, and they've had to face worse conditions before, so he drops the subject.]

[He's not too sure if the first option is possible, and he doesn't know how badly he wants for the latter to happen. At least not immediately.] Yeah. But I was told that being in this place doesn't impact what happens back home.

Besides the city you're in, Genessia, it's composed of four other cities. They're all incredibly different from eachother, and it's a lot to take in so telling you in person would be better. But so far, Titans don't exist here.

Doesn't...impact back home. [Frowns at that since it's a little hard to wrap her mind around the fact that their presence is...not needed.

His solidification of there being no Titans is something she can't...exactly fathom. Their entire lives has been about Titans, defeating the Titans, staying behind the walls but wanting to leave the confines of their cages...and now they're free?

She blinks a few times, still processing.] That's...Are we dead?

I hope we're not but- no Titans? What do we do now?

Christa!!

[Armin never knows what to feel when he sees another of his friends here - joy and relief that they were no longer in their own world, no longer waiting for their horrible but nearly inevitable death at the hands of the titans? Or regret, that they weren't back home, where they were all sorely needed. That they weren't there to fight for humanity like they should be.

He's also always surprised when someone else comes - for a long time, he'd thought he was never going to see any of them ever again. Well, Christa is here now, whatever either of them wants. So he might as well feel relief at her safety - and joy that he gets to see her again.]

Are you all right??

[The effects of a familiar voice offers so much comfort amongst the confusion that still buzzes in her mind; putting that with a familiar face of a friend's and Christ holds a hand over her heart with a small sigh.]

Armin! [She nods to his question, a small smile forming at her lips while rubbing the slight bit of moisture from her eyes.] I'm so happy to see you.

I'm alright. Just...very confused at the moment.

Are you alright?

Thank goodness. [She's all right. Coming from their world, you could never be sure. Armin also gives a sign of relief, smiling softly.] I'm very happy to see you too.

Don't worry, I'm all right too. I know it's strange, but we... we're actually safe here.

I'm glad to hear that.

I saw Jean earlier so, it looks like there's at least a few of us here but I am a little worried give how open this place looks... no walls?

[Curiously tips her head to the side.] Safe?

That's right - Eren, Mikasa, Marco, Sasha, Petra, and Captain Levi are here too.

[That uncertainty - though it was so long ago, he understands. Finding that the place he was in was not surrounded by walls was terrifying at first, even if it was also exhilarating. But he's been to a dozen different worlds since them, and not one of them had any sign of the titans.]

That's right - no walls. This is a completely different world from the one we come from - titans don't exist, here. Things are actually... peaceful. There's enough food to go around, and people are free to pursue their own interests.

I mean... there are still criminals. But j-just the regular, human ones, and they don't seem too common. We r-really are safe, here.

[The names she puts to faces quickly enough but she blinks widely when one name in particular is mentioned.]

Marco...?! Marco's here?!

Is he staying with us? Ahh is he alright?

[Gasps and covers her mouth with her hand.] I'm sorry I shouldn't of asked so many--- What..?

There's- no titans?

No walls... But that seems- impossible?

[Armin's looks confused at her focus on Marco - but combined with noticing how Jean had been acting around him, a niggling suspicion he doesn't even want to think about starts to form. Could he be...

He responds slowly and carefully, unsure.] Yeah - Marco's safe. And he's staying with us at Eren and Mikasa's too. [Having not gotten his first paycheck yet, he still thinks of the apartment that way - and likely will for some time after, too.

He smiles gently at Krista, trying to be reassuring.] It's all r-right, I know it's confusing. And I kn-know it seems impossible, but it's true. There are no titans here. No walls. Aside from us, n-nobody even knows they exist.

[Her shoulders slump with a small sigh of relief, a short laugh coming with it. She misses Ymir and the others but... Marco was someone they lost way too soon and while their resolve was driven more with his death- she's going to be able to see him again. Something she thought she'd never do.] I'm so glad to hear you all are alright.

[She returns the smile but watches him with concern.] Have you been taking care of yourself though?

Mm! Jean told me... I can't really fathom a world like that but- apparently it's possible. Think of all the places to explore now.

[The smile turns fond at her apparent relief. One of the qualities he'd always adored in Christa was her kindness, how much she cared for all of them.]

As... as best I can. [Which didn't mean much, as a Traveler, so he's actually not in great shape. But he's been trying, especially since coming here.]

I kn-know. I've seen a lot I d-didn't even know was possible...

And how best is that? You have a lot of people that care for you, Armin.

[Still, a world without titans is a big thing to try and take in all at once.

She glances outside the bay, knitting her brow a bit while taking a cautious step, only sliding out one of her swords from her 3DMG Device.]

Have you been here long?

I'm doing all right, here. But this w-wasn't the first place I was sent after being taken from our world. And some of the o-other places... they weren't as safe as Genessia is.

[In other words, he has scars - both physical and mental - to show for his travels. She'll see some of them soon enough.]

I've been here about three weeks. Levi, Petra, and Sasha arrived just after me, Jean and Marco arrived just before, and Eren and Mikasa have been here for about half a year now.

You were taken somewhere else?

..How long have you been away from home, if I may ask?

[She thinks more on that, if so many of them arrived here, then what exactly happened back home that made it so it seemed like none of them disappeared at all?]

But...I just saw Mikasa and Eren back home after we fought the Female Titan... How could they of been here for so long?

I've been away from home for... at least fourteen months, now. Across at least a dozen different worlds.

It's hard to explain, but... it doesn't matter how much time we spend here. Time here doesn't have anything to do with time back home.

...Actually, the last thing I remember back home is the Battle of Trost. [He looks a little hesitant and almost embarrassed - it's strange, being so far behind everyone else. Though at least it helps illustrate the point that time is different here.]

I have a map, if you'd like.

[The blue-capped boy is not actually visible at the moment, seeing as he's holding the map up to the video feed so she can see it.]

Or if you let me see where you are, um...I can help you get not lost. Everyone starts in the Bay, so if you're still there then maybe I can help...

Are you one of the locals from this place?

A map would be most generous of you. I'd very much like to see one so I can copy it for myself for later use.

[She looks a little worried as she peeks out from the bay.] Is there a Wall here? Or...are there titans out there?

Wall, or titans?

[It only takes Luke a few seconds to realize what she means.]

Ah...are you from the same place as Miss Mikasa and Mr. Eren and Armin?

[And Levi, and Petra, and so many others he's started meeting lately--so many names, he can't keep tabs on.]

I'm not a local. I...woke up here one day, just like you.

And I have a bunch of copies of my map. Let me lock up my shop, and I'll come meet you at the Bay. If that's all right, miss?

[Luke shifts behind the camera, the movement tipping the map he'd been holding up to the screen and revealing a small boy behind the paper. He looks no more than twelve or thirteen, tired and nervous--though his small smile is genuine just the same.]

Oh dear, please forgive me.

I've just been informed that no one else knows of titans as we know them.

[Raising her head, she nods.] Yes, they're my Squad mates! We were all in the Survey Corps together and training with the 104th.

Oh, you're too kind. If it's no trouble at all then thank you so much.

Mm,my name is Krista Renz, member of the Survey Corps in effort to return peace in our world and rid it of the Titans. [She says it more like a memorized play with only a bit of sincerity in her tone. Hand up, she does her salute across her chest.]

Hi, Miss Renz.

[The boy tilts his head in confusion at the way she's holding her hand--interestingly enough with all of the people from her world that Luke has met, he hasn't seen the salute. Regardless, the phone is tilted strangely as Luke stands and pulls on his coat. He knocks his hat sideways as he does so, grabbing for the phone so the image is only of his hand.]

I'm not too far from the Bay. I won't be too long, okay?

[With that, he turns the feed off.

As he previously said, it doesn't take him long to get to the Bay from his shop. He's holding a map and a paper mug that he's filled with freshly made hot tea. The kid trots over, expression nervous.]

Miss Renz, um...

[Luke goes to hand her the mug, blinking.] I'm Luke. I have the map for you, and hot tea.

[Stands up from her little area where she hid herself, but she is only 4'9. She's just a little afraid in such a new world after being in a world of Titans.

Offers a small smile and nods her head, going over to take the mug gratefully.] Thank you.

It's nice to meet you, Luke.

It...wasn't dangerous coming all this way, was it?

No. It usually isn't too dangerous in the daytime. In Genessia there have been some bad things but mostly if somethings going on people are talking about it.

[Luke pauses, tipping his hat in response to the introduction.]

Have you spoken with Miss Mikasa or Mr. Eren or Armin? I've been to their house before so maybe if they can't meet you I can show you how to get there.

Hey... you look like you could use a hand, beautiful?

[She's used to people saying those kinds of things but often thinks they're just teasing her; or at least Ymir threatens them. It's odd without her...]

I should be okay. I'm a Scouting Legion Soldier so I hope I can make our branch proud by finding a way out of this.

Oh wow, that's a pretty fancy title. Cute and smart, what a combination.

What's your name, anyway? Mine's Zelos. Zelos Wilder.

[A little confused still but she gives a faint laugh anyways. At least there are a lot of nice people here.]

Forgive me, I'm Krista Renz of the Scouting Legion. [Straightens herself up and does her salute with her fist over her heart.] Former trainee of the 104th.

It's nice to meet you, Zelos.

[Man, that reminded him of the Papal Knights.

...Except, you know, a cute hunny rather than an ugly dude in armour, but there we go.]

The pleasure's all mine~ Tell you what, how about you and I go out for dinner sometime when you're all settled in? My treat.

Ah- a dinner? That's really thoughtful of you! You really don't have to.

Um, do you happen to know a lot about this place, if I may ask?

It's fine. I'd love to~

Well I know bits and pieces, I have been here a while. Have you had the 'find a house, get a job' talk already?

You look... [ kablink. Marco gasps ]

Christa!! It's-It's me, Marco! Where are you? I'll come get you!

[She almost looks like she wants to burst in to tears as she holds her device.]

Marco! Ah, I'm at the Bay. I wasn't going to move yet since Jean mentioned being on the way.

Is it really you?! Armin mentioned you were here and I couldn't believe it!

I'm so happy to see you again.

Of course it's me. Who else would I be? [ he looks a little confused since...this isn't the first time that this has happened. someone was surprised to see him more than they normally might be ]

Hey, hey! Don't cry! I'll be there soon! Hang on, okay?

[Takes a deep breath and shakes her head, rubbing her eyes.] Jean said he was on his way.

I'm just so grateful to be able to see friendly faces.

How long have you been here?

A few weeks, actually. It hasn't been too long...

It's really nice here though. I think you'll like it.

Ah, so looks like we're a bit new together then.

It's really nice you're here. With nice familiar faces makes me love this place already.

Jean arrived here the same time that I did. Armin and Petra arrived afterward.

There's probably a lot that we need to learn about this place stiill.
