[fiddlestick]

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

Here's mine!

[motiv8]

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?

[fiddlestick]

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.

[motiv8]

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.

[fiddlestick]

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]

[motiv8]

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...

[fiddlestick]

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.

[motiv8]

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.

[fiddlestick]

!!! 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!

[motiv8]

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.

[fiddlestick]

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?

[motiv8]

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"

[fiddlestick]

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.

[motiv8]

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

[fiddlestick]

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.

[motiv8]

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?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah. It's made to work best outside, that's for sure. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk about it.

One sec!

[Uploads a photo of this taken from a smart phone]

[motiv8]

[Rean examines that picture for precisely half a second before:]

Yeah, that was it. Weird and shadowy with golden eyes in the castle, like our weird reflections in the mirror, but that's definitely what I saw

[fiddlestick]

Thought so...it must've been his reflection. Sorry you had to go through something dangerous like that.

He does have control over it. It's not quite a transformation as it forms around him and he acts as the pilot to it. Almost like an organic mech suit? I don't know how else to describe it.

[In other words: a meat mecha. ]

[motiv8]

Not your fault. Besides, it's not like I'm innocent here, either... my shadow was coming after us, too. And again when I was in the castle with Crow, so...

I'm not sure if that's cool or kind of gross. I think I'm going to settle on both but mostly cool.

[fiddlestick]

Hey, you didn't have any control of that shadow! That was that strange castle's doing, okay?

[DON'T BLAME YOURSELF]

Haha....yeah, I'd agree with that sentiment. Took some getting used to.

[motiv8]

True enough. ...I think I'm just going to go back to trying not to think too much about all that before I give myself a headache.

Haha, I can imagine. Well, with things getting weirder every day, I'll probably see it at some point... and it's definitely a good thing to know about ahead of time. Can't even imagine how I'd react to having that sprung on me out of nowhere.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, good idea.

Yeah, that's my thought exactly. There's a lot of weird powers on the app, so sometimes having a heads up really helps cut down on the screaming. [He says, completely forgetting to mention Akira's personas]

[motiv8]

Yeah, that's definitely the impression I'm getting... so far I've managed to contain my screaming to just my pillow whenever I get home, but one of these days that's probably not gonna be enough

[fiddlestick]

[....]

Is that a joke or are you really doing that every night...?

[Rean that's worrying]
