[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.]

[He's... just gonna carefully navigate around the lamp carnage, now.]

My mom really just sent me over with food. I think she's checking if anybody else on the network needs help. [Because God knows it's been a Very Exciting day for the Reyes household on there.]

[He takes a step back when Armin comes around with his broom (nearly tripping on a lampshade in the process), but recovers quickly when it becomes apparent he's not going to be hit with it.] Y-yeah, that's me.

[Wait, an unwelcome encounter?] Is everything okay?

[ Eren bends to pick up some of the larger lampbits and places them on a table... A series of tables... Just every fucking table in the place lined up in the middle of the room. ]

It's fine. Nothing we can't handle. [ Said a little too forcefully. He moves past Jaime to glance outside (double-checking), before shutting the door and locking it. ]

Thank you, really. [Armin quickly sweeps up the bits of lamp on the floor that are too small to gather by hand.] We haven't even thought of food yet.

[He bites his lip a little. How much should he say about Bertolt? There were still so many variables he wasn't aware of, and he didn't want to let anything slip without even realizing it.]

I don't think it's anything you would have to be concerned about-- I agree that we should have it under control. But it seems as though an enemy from our world has followed us here as well.

Hey, understandable-- it's tough. Getting, um, dragged through dimensions and all.

[He sets the food down on the nearest table (one that hasn't already been shuffled around by Eren), frowning with concern.]

Have you already run into him? There's some enemies from my world here, too, but from alternate timelines. He might be him, but not... him. If that makes any sense at all.

That... doesn't actually make any sense at all.

[ what the fuck are timelines ]

It was definitely him, though. He knew what we were talking about, and he looked exactly the same as the last time I saw him.

[ but hey, he might be wrong. he's been wrong before (read: he's been wrong pretty much all the time) ]

Right, Armin?

Yes. From what he said and how he was acting, he was definitely our Bertholt.

[He pauses, and grips his broom so tightly his knuckles go white.]

However, from any time, he is still our enemy. His crimes are far-reaching.

I know, right? It's true anyway: I've met people from my world who were years younger than they should've been. [SHRUG. He's learned how to cope with Multiversal Weirdness by now.]

I'll keep an eye out for him, if you want. Who is he?
