attack on titan maybe spoilers in comments?

[bearsthatsin]

So this is the part where I complain about getting dragged away from my war, right?

Well, no sale, kiddo. If things back home were continuing while some punk was playing around with me here, that'd be one thing... but something tells me that's not the case, eh?

So! Looks like it's vacation time for ol' Dot. What say you try to set me up with a hot date, boy? ...And keep 'em short. I was just kidding about the Titan ladies. [BUT WAS HE]

[WAS HE...]

Finally giving up and retiring, old man?

[save_a_horse]

Vacation isn't quite the word I would use, General. However, it is surely a way of looking at things retrospectively. My time here has been... relaxing, as I hope yours shale be.

[deviantlyhates]

My time here has only been some of the best parts of my life!

[ Mostly because a) she isn't in a horror game (or any game yet) and b) Titan. Shifters. Titan Shifters everywhere. ] I can only hope the same will go for you, Commander Pixis!

[bearsthatsin]

Why do you ask, Levi? Gunning for a promotion, are we?

[bearsthatsin]

If this is you relaxed, I'd hate to see you serious. [LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE GEEZ]

[bearsthatsin]

Why, aren't you sweet. Honestly, my standards aren't very high! Any time not spent dealing with Titans is a treat, but a bottle of fine wine and a beautiful woman would go a long way towards making it even better.

[deviantlyhates]

Aah, away from Titans...? [ No way, man. Add in more Titans, and then she can call it a party. ] No, that's not good for me.

[springcleaning]

I don't fucking want your job, gramps. Erwin might, though.

[save_a_horse]

My.. apologizes, sir. [His time here had been stressful, feeling so out of place] Recommendations on how to better my performance?

[Erwin he just got here and you're asking him]

[bearsthatsin]

How tough it is to be at the top, with all the young pups nipping at your heels, waiting for you to fall... This must be how the Titans feel, I suppose.

[springcleaning]

I don't nip, that's fucking stupid.

[Jokes? Lost on Levi? What's new?]

[bearsthatsin]

Let's start by getting you a drink. [he pulls out a bottle and starts pouring glasses. of course he already had booze.] Just think, we can actually get good and hammered here without worrying about Titans showing up! This is a dream come true.

[bearsthatsin]

Yes, I'm aware of your tastes, Captain. [and as long as they keep bringing in results, he won't judge. much.] You know, there are healthier hobbies out there! Maybe start a stamp collection. Or take up gardening.

[bearsthatsin]

[fortunately Pixis is used to his jokes flying over people's heads.] It's a metaphor, Rivaille! You shouldn't take everything so literally, it's unhealthy. You want to live to be as old as me someday, right?

[deviantlyhates]

Stamp... collection? [ A hobby other than Titans appears to sound so completely foreign to her. She blinks twice. ]

But that wouldn't be helpful at all!

[springcleaning]

Not particularly. Getting old is a privilege I don't really want.

And it's Levi. I have no fucking idea why people keep getting that fucking wrong.

[save_a_horse]

[A crooked smile, Erwin wasn’t much of a drinker but he really shouldn’t say no..]

I’m not sure about getting to intoxicated but one drink shouldn’t hurt.. after all this place is rather safe, the only thing I could perhaps find an issue with are the titan-shifters but they seem rather docile in this world. I’m still trying to formulate a plan for dealing with them in case of emergency.

[bearsthatsin]

Eh? It's your last name, isn't it? A commander and his subordinate shouldn't really be on a first-name basis. Not that I mind, but people might get the wrong idea!

[bearsthatsin]

Right, the Shifters... [great job jerk way to ruin his vacation] At this point, I'm not even sure how much good a plan would do. Every time we think we've got a lock on the bastards, they pull out some new crazy trick we didn't even know existed.

[bearsthatsin]

Indulge an old man's curiosity, Captain. Have you given any thought to what you might do if we actually manage to win this war? Destroy the Titans, save humanity, free the world again? What's next for Hange Zoë?

[deviantlyhates]

That's...

[ A world without Titans. Who hasn't thought of such an ideal in the past, including her? If it could ever be accomplished, she would argue for keeping samples around.

Yet-- ]

[deviantlyhates]

I have, Sir. [ She pushes up her glasses, speaking softly. ] Of course I have.

[bearsthatsin]

Well, don't just keep it to yourself, woman! Tell me the dream that keeps you fighting. ...Unless you'd rather keep it personal, of course. [in which case he really wants to know, but will keep his mouth shut.]

[thereddragon]

Even in other worlds, you humans entertain yourselves with war.

[bearsthatsin]

[if he wasn't so flabbergasted by the appearance of a goddamn dragon, Pixis might be upset about that. as it stands, he manages to keep cool.]

Survival's what we're fighting for, mainly. And greed, for some. Pride... religion, for a few... hunger, for many.

But entertainment? Afraid not, my scaly friend. Humans don't have that luxury anymore, where I come from.
