Who: captains and party crashers!
Broadcast: nup
Action: yes; tonight in the local dive Hange mentioned earlier. Get drunk! Play drunk games! Get to know each other! Mingle!
When: October 27th; late :}

[The bar Hange picked out is about typical for the planet: a little small, although big enough for the turnout Hange more or less expects, and clean albeit a little dingy and stained around the edges. At very least, all the stains have been scrubbed at thoroughly at some point in their history, and only the most stubborn and enterprising remain.

Stubborn and enterprising like the crew the bar will now entertain!

Captains, make your parent threads and tag around. Party crashers are also welcome.]

Well... They do seem like strange creatures. [he... well, he doesn't lean away from her or anything....] I'm aware of very large, man-eating monsters on my world, but all of them at least follow the understood laws of nature.

How interesting! You'll have to tell me all about them sometime! Are they sentient? Can you talk to them? The first thing I do every time I get a live specimen is try to talk to it, of course, but they never answer! Haha! But there's at least one record of a titan speaking to a human, which is absolutely fascinating. As for the rest of them... maybe their mouths are too full of human for them to bother talking to us! Hahahaha!

[is that a terrible joke? yes. does he laugh anyway? yes. is it because he's a horrible person? you bet.]

How bizarre! Most of our monsters don't talk either... When they do, it's bad news.

[Hange is a hero... and a nightmare. :') Horrible jokes and the aura of having a grand time come as part of the package.

That makes her sit back, though, and she abruptly looks pretty serious.]

I'd love to be able to really talk to one of them one day...

Really? [how strange... now it's his turn to lean in, sliding across the bar...] What do you think they'd say if you could?

[Look at the grin that cracks her face open. She doesn't pull back at all.]

I'd most like to know why they're devouring humans all the time. And of course, if I had the chance to ask them where they came from in the first place...

[Even if they might not know that - she'd like to ask! She laughs a bit instead, just a little gulp of laughter.]

The devouring humans thing is a theme too. Maybe our monsters aren't so different after all...

[oh, here. he'll take a second to have a sizable amount of his drink.]

[It's like he reminds her her own drink exists, and she pauses to take a deep swallow of it too. No sputtering.]

Hm! How interesting. What's life like for a human in your world?

Oh, terrible. [he still coughs. it burns pretty bad, and his body keeps healing everything--but he smirks through it.] The whole surface is a mess, so humans have been living under the ground for, oh, a thousand years or so.

Really? How interesting... we've been living walled up, but only for the past century give or take some years. Do you still have your history?

Not much history. Walls to keep the monsters out, right?

[he actually... sits up.]

I'm going to laugh if we're secretly from the same place. Different continents, or something.

[She stares at him... and then she abruptly barks out laughter loudly.]

Ha! That would be hilarious! Too bad we'd have no idea you were out there!

Oh yeah. Same here. The Capitol has only just figured out how to get an airship over the forest that separates my city from theirs. There's a whole half of the world that most people don't believe exists anymore.

[takes another... drink...] The irony would be palpable.

You have an airship? Is that what is sounds like? That's so lucky... we could do so much with aerial travel... I'd give my left arm for an airship...

[nodding, nodding...] Your whole left arm, or just part of it?

All of it! Haha! I can still plan without that!

[oh, drunken giggling.] I like your enthusiasm.

I like it too! I have much more fun this way. [She starts laughing too, because he is.]

Good. Keep it up. [ha ha the irony.] We may have a long journey ahead of us.

I expect so. [And she really needs to get home... she wishes her comrades were here, and at the same time she really doesn't. Eren and the scouts and new recruits have important work to do at home - which she will hopefully rejoin soon enough.

Cecil's assurances of timelines being safe or not.]

They all seem to be long ones.

Yes, well. It'd be a boring show if it was short.

[he streeeetches back, knocks back the rest of his drink, comes back coughing a little and wincing--] This stuff is really terrible.

It's almost impressive, isn't it? But at least it's free! [She lists back on her stool briefly, laughing, then leans forward again.] At least we aren't suffering food shortages.

I will agree with you there. [he holds up his... empty glass, perhaps for cheers?] I miss variety, but I'll take a dependable food source over the alternative.

[Obligingly, she clinks glasses - then tosses back the remainder of her terrible drink and slams it on the counter.]

Another, please! [Back to Robin -] There's food to be had. A sweet friend of mine offered to share some of her cooking. I personally think we can supplement with at least a little on-ship cultivation, that's a possibility.

Oh, absolutely. Eating that squishy stuff all the time... Gonna have some weird effects after a while.

[sweet, more booze for him!]
