The tunnelmen are very interesting, aren't they? A little... gruff, but generally friendly. I ran into one of them on the way back from training yesterday, and he was much kinder than the average Anatolian. I guess because he didn't have the same kind of, um, baggage?

Or... well, I'm not sure. Maybe it was a coincidence?

Only 15 ivories isn't such a bad price for something we didn't even have back home. State of the fucking art everything, EXCEPT fighting robots, can you believe that shit ( Read more... )

Tryouts?

[Mei stares past the Forge, towards the poster that is advertising for entertainers.]

Do you think they'd let me? [Age always seems to get in the way here...

She lifts a dagger curiously.] I could use some practice.

Is anyone else going to be going? Scar-san? Riza-san?

OI.

Stop shaking your bloody Forges.

Anyone who's got one still on the fritz from the mist can bring it to the Patrol HQ and I'll take a look at it, but I'm charging extra for anyone who uses gratuitous violence on them.

[The transmission quality is pretty bad, tinny with intermittent static. Her voice, to those who know it's nuances well enough, sounds a little embarrassed and a little... frightened? Or it could just be the poor audio playing tricks on you.]

Cadet Hawkeye here. Forgive me, sir, but I seem to be lost. [crackle ( Read more... )

So, right, let me get this straight. We were being robbed by ghost orphans? Should I feel bad for setting that doll on fire now, because I don't, really. I mean, they were stealing smokes and all.

[Static first, then the forge turns on a moment after it hits the ground, apparently having fallen out of the pocket of its possessor. In the extreme foreground at the bottom of the screen is a discarded black shirt. Further back sits the owner of both articles, her gray jacket held against her chest and her knees drawn up to her chin. Her eyes are ( Read more... )

I need a couple of people to go monster hunting with me. Capturing, not killing.

Cowards and slowpokes need not apply.

[The end. For once there's very little entertainment value to be found in her words.]

( Private )

[Heine's got to be right, there has to be at least a couple new people like her looking for someone. But the idea of living with pretty much a total stranger is still really weird. Oh well, she needs to suck it up and be brave now.]

Is anyone looking for a roommate? Because I... kinda need one. By the end of the month would be really good. I've ( Read more... )
