Hey, it's not like it was any better for me...

[Yes it was, you didn't get zapped for cheating]

I'll keep it in mind... but in this specific case, I think the guy whose closest thing to a "relationship" was that really awkward prom where he took a girl as a friend doesn't really get the room to speak, among his own kind or not. Especially to someone who's engaged.

I dunno, I don't remember you getting zapped...

[even though he got zapped because he cheated]

Awww, but at least you went to prom! I skipped mine.

Really, I get it. I'm not asking you to commentate on my relationship. Just meant in general.

...Okay, you got me there. Weird that it didn't count us just writing down what one another said as cheating, but it counted that, though. Ah, whatever.

Ahaha... trust me, you didn't miss much. Stuffy, awkward, way too much posing for pictures and not even decent food or music to make up for it. It was an experience, all right, but I don't know if it was a GOOD one.

Yeah, it's a little weird but maybe it was some loophole...I don't know. I try not to think about that place.

Aha, yeah. That sounds like what I expected it to be. I don't regret not going.

[A pause before he adds]

Oh hey, you never answered the Pokemon question.

Fair enough.

Yeah, you're making the right call there.

[Another pause, then a response.]

Pokemon question?

Yeah. What pokemon you'd choose for your line-up.

I know we were distracted with Crow not knowing, but I don't think you gave an answer either.

Oh, right! Sorry, we got so off-track I totally forgot...

Give me a minute, I need to think about this

[A minute or two passes.]

Since this is just hypothetical, is it okay if I pick a legendary, or is that cheating?

Aha, go ahead! It's supposed to be fun anyway.

[Another couple of minutes, and then...]

rean's a weeb and has weeb pokemon

Maybe not perfect but I think this

Oh wow! You picked a lot of cool ones! Strong too. I think they suit you well.

Here's mine!

Oh, that's a good set for you, too! Got all the musical ones you'd hope for.

Guess you like water, though? ...And sheep?

Hehe, yep! Course I'd go for the musical ones.

Yeah, water's my strongest element with spellcasting. The sheep just looked fluffy and nice to pet.

I'd expect nothing less.

Ah, that makes sense. And that may well be the cutest reasoning I've ever heard... you're not wrong, though.

Aha, yeah well, if pokemon were real, I doubt I'd be very good at earning badge and battling pokemon. Just making friends with pokemon sounds more up my alley.

And lemme guess, you picked your pokemon because they'd give you a "cutting edge" right?

[LOTS OF BLADES THERE REAN]

Fair enough! And honestly, that doesn't sound like a bad time. There ARE a lot of cute ones.

Haha... got me pegged already, don't you? Yeah. That, or I just think they're cool, but...

Yeah, there sure are! It was hard narrowing them down, honestly...

Hehe, well I know you like swords, so it was a pretty easy guess. Both you and Eren picked Typhlosion, actually.

Yeah, that's understandable. If I had to pick a favorite out of the cute ones, though...

So cute and fluffy. And icy, just like where I grew up, haha

Really? That's not too surprising, fire totally does seem like his type. As for me, I just like the fire-fuzzy-collar thing.

!!! She's beautiful! Awww...just look at this puffy little hair on her head! What a good choice

Where'd you grow up?

Yep. I think he just liked the big godzilla-y looking ones. That's fair though, the fire collar is pretty snazzy!

Upstate New York, about an hour and a half from the Canadian border. Lake effect snow, my favorite...

Ahaha yeah that sounds just like him. Can't say as I blame him, it's not a bad aesthetic at all.

Oh yeah, I've heard how cold it gets up there. I'm from Queens, so we're both New Yorkers.

[Just...very different New Yorkers]

It suits him. Has he told you about his power yet?

It's a miserable hellscape and you're missing nothing.

Ha, so we are. May as well be from two different states, though! The city's crazy.

Ah... no, not yet. [He might have been about to show him last month with the castle things, but that didn't pan out yet sooo] I did get to witness the crazy... ziplining sword thing... firsthand, but that doesn't really equate with "Godzilla"

Haha, so I've heard. Pretty sure only Recolle tops NYC in weirdness, so I can't deny it. Still home though.

[City boy through and through]

Oh yeah, his vertical maneuver gear! That's really fun to ride on once you get used to it!

His other ability is he can turn into a kind of giant called a "titan". Well, he can also regenerate, but that's part of the titan power.

I think Recolle's got an unfair advantage, though, what with all the app nonsense... but yeah, home's always gonna be special, no denying that

I think it would have been with a little more warning and a little less panic, but we were kind of crashing into walls. So I mostly remember it being terrifying and painful but I wouldn't be opposed to trying again in a more controlled environment

[There's a bit of a pause before Rean responds to that last bit.]

Huh

So

Actually I may have seen it? But it wasn't like. HIM. My shadow and this giant were chasing us through the castle and that's why we had to use the maneuver gear or whatever

I didn't think too hard about it but maybe the giant was HIS shadow

Aw, that's too bad to hear. You definitely should! It's a lot better when you're not in a panic, and the views are incredible!

[ITS LIKE SPIDERMAN.]

Hmm...yeah, I'd imagine that was the titan's shadow, from the sound of it. I think I have a couple pictures of it on my phone, if you wanna confirm it.

I'll ask him about it next time we both happen across some free time. It does seem like it'd be cool in a bigger space.

If you don't mind?
