[The answer comes incredibly late because Eren is a great friend who is great with technology and who also just spent like 10 hours on the run from vomit aliens after being attacked in midair.
But to his credit once he sees Armin's name on the message he gets on trying to answer it right away while they trek through the snow. Since Armin is effectively AFK and busy with sharks or something, he manages to get several messages out in succession.]
FROM: jaeger.eren@cdc.org yeah were here in the snow right squad leader hange and sasha too andannie ? maybe i didnt see her but mikasa
[He stops abruptly for a few minutes. Mikasa had been pretty vehement in her accusations, but he's still pretty sure he doesn't believe a damn word of it.
[ by the time armin gets the chance to check his message there's a fLOOD OF THEM THANKS EREN, they're still a ways from rendezvous, since they were the furthest point alas. but his answer is abrupt. ]
I'm fine. Really tired. Witnessed something good, though. Enjoy it.
[Eren's point wasn't even close to being the furthest, but they're all a little pathetic at this point. People have probably started to arrive at the rendezvous by now in dribs and drabs, but the group Eren's with is still working on it.
There's a prolonged pause after Armin's message, because Eren needs to a) figure out how to view that attachment and b) wrap his mind around what that doodle is supposed to represent. Both of those figures look a little familiar. One more than the other.
At length—]
is that the captain
WE'LL JUST... PRETEND IT ISN'T THERE we don't know what we're doing anymore anyway
Yeah, I'll show you how when we get to rendezvous.
[ and then they can all sit around drawing and sending really stupid pictures it'll be an excellent waste of valuable time ]
His leg seems to be injured, and this man took it upon himself to.. offer him a ride. Or force it on him, really. Suffice it to say he wasn't particularly happy about it.
[Wasting time with technology just like normal teenagers!! How heartwarming.]
wish i could have seen it
[Because really, that doodle can't have captured the look on his face. Definitely sounds better than getting puked on. Though the thought of the Captain being injured enough to need help like that is a pretty sobering one once it sinks in. Especially in a place as fucking weird and dangerous as this is turning out to be. At least it doesn't sound particularly life threatening, though he has to wonder how it happened. No one's perfect, but Levi's not exactly your average soldier.
Speaking of the Captain, that's six of them accounted for for sure.]
But yes, there are a few of us here. Myself, as well as the Captain, Bertolt, Connie, and.. another girl from home, her name is Isabel, I've never met her before. But she's one of us.
[ the corps, that is. and a friend of levi's, if his observations are astute enough.. ]
[Okay. It's not good, exactly, that so many of them have ended up roped into this and scattered over the planet, but it's good to know, at least, that Armin isn't alone. That he's with the Captain and several of their comrades, even if Eren and Mikasa are miles away. He doesn't know any Isabels, but there are plenty of people in the Corps that Eren hasn't had a chance to personally meet. Assuming he remembers everyone from the test drives that leaves a few unaccounted for—Jean, Reiner, the Commander. (Annie?)]
let me know when you guys reach the rendezvous
Edited (nevermind we get a rad dragon ride he might already be there!!! retcons all over this thread) 2014-05-11 20:37 (UTC)
