[The feed begins without warning, picturing a young blonde boy sitting at his console. He’s slowly—oh so slowly, like the world’s most meticulous woodpecker—typing at the keyboard. One letter at a time. Tap. Tap. Tap. His gaze keeps switching from his hands to his screen, squinting, cocking his eyebrow, leaning in or out to get a better look, with an expression of concentration so intense it’s a wonder he hasn’t set fire to anything yet.]
[It’s obvious he’s never seen a computer, or anything remotely like it, in his life.]
[In the background, another boy is pacing around. Despite looking far more ragged than Armin, he seems to have limitless energy. He’s moving furniture, asking if Armin’s gotten the “lightsbox” working yet, switching light switches on and off, and eventually settling for carrying a lamp around.]
[They're both wearing a peculiar sort of uniform with a winged emblem on the shoulder and back, and for some reason, a very complex harness of belts.]
[Armin keeps on hunting and pecking as he was until he glances up to the monitor again, and notices something different.]
Recording…?
[He looks up out of the corner of his eye as he tries to remember what he was explained that implies. Surprise crosses his face as it returns to him.]
Ah, yes, recording-- Eren! I think I've gotten it to start showing us to everyone else!
[His friend shouts from the background]
Ask who's there! Anyone we know? Who's there?!
I suppose that's as good of a question as any... Is there anyone out there that we would know?
My name is Armin Arlert, of the 104th Trainee's Squad, presently in the Scouting Legion-- although I doubt that holds much weight here. Anyone from our "world" would be familiar with those terms though, so please, if you are, respond. And anyone else for that matter, who isn't a Kedan; what is Keeliai, exactly? Why are we brought here? What is beyond these walls? What could this city possibly be a stronghold against?
[He looks concerned, and leans back in his chair a little. There had to be some sort of threat, if they bothered with security... And he tended to think of such things in bad-as-possible terms.]
[Eren seems very grimly determined to ruin his eyesight as he tries to figure out how electricity works, switching his lamp on and off.]
...This place can't be any good if Mikasa isn't here too. [He mutters bitterly.]
[Armin sighs, because he feels the same way. He stares off blankly.]
We'll find her. It's only a matter of time.
ooc: [Joint post between Armin Arlert and Eren Yaeger. Specify who you want, or not, or both! Expect threadjacking, and lots of it.]

action;
stares at armin.
stares at screen.
stares at armin. ]
It doesn't look reliable. At all.
action;
We at least have to give the local methods a chance
action;
I'll leave you to that. [ Eren wanders off for a bit, exploring the shit out of this fancyass place. More furniture moving. Doors opening and slamming, eventually. ]
ARMIN, THERE ARE STAIRS. Are you sure those guys said this place was ours? It's huge! There's no way it's all for us-- that's just dumb!
action;
[You've got to be kidding me. Armin gets out of his chair again-- nobody's responded, still-- and follows Eren's voice. Sure enough...]
This is ridiculous! What could two people possibly do with all this space? There's enough room for ten in these quarters!
action;
We should live up here! [ the sound of more furniture moving around because why the fuck not ] It's safer!
action;
There's one bed in each room. It must be three or four times the size of my family's house in Shiganshina...
action;
Mikasa can live with us once we find her. [ what toilets what wow ]
What do you think she'd say about all this? Or what do you think any of the guys would say about this?
action;
Connie and Sasha would probably run around and break things. Jean... I don't know. Either be angry or mope. He's a little dramatic.
