Upcoming Episodes. Spoilers for Shingeki-Attack on Titan Anime and Manga

[my_martyrdom]

It's only going to get worse, isn't it, mun?

The beginning was horrible yes but things only seem to go down hill from here and on top of that. . . Who knows what's going to happen when Ymir lets me out. I just wanted to save her more than anything.

I hope Jean's able to be alright after all this, too. Why can't we all just continue to be friends and hope that the Titans would just go away as quickly as they appeared.

Comments

[strongestcoward]

Acting so selflessly really bugs me... Besides, don't you know that hope is pointless?

[an_arlert_mind]

...Christa

[ Armin knows that feeling all too well, but he also knows its just a dream, something that's never going to happen on its own. If the Titans are to leave, it has to be through mankinds determination to survive and strive onwards.]

[His quick mind is already thinking up things to say, but in the mean time he simply stands before her, looking just as hopeless and downtrodden as she is.]

[my_martyrdom]

W-What? I'm sorry it bugs you. . .

But as long as there's hope there's the will to fight. That's what we've learned. It's what keeps us going when the world seems like it's going to end.

[my_martyrdom]

* Lifts her head upon hearing a familiar voice and once she spots that familiar bowl cut, she gives the faintest of smiles. *

Armin! I was hoping to see a familiar face so I'm glad to see you. I hope you're alright? Not hurt or anything. * A soft lace of worry in her tone. *

[strongestcoward]

...you're doing it again, being sorry... Anyway, it's not the 'hope' that does anything, it's the fighting! Strength is all that can save you.

[an_arlert_mind]

Gah! Ha yeah, its good to see you too!

[ He smiled, warm and bright as he rushed a few little steps over to where she was, slipping his blades back into the containers strapped to his thighs. ]

I've been looking around for other members of the Squad, you're the only one I've seen so far. I'm well! Unharmed, though my gas is running a little low. How about you?

[ He knew it was s fruitless question to ask, but conversation was good, conversation was a way to assess the situation. ]

[my_martyrdom]

Aah! So-- I mean, oops?

Strength isn't everything. . .It helps, yes there is no denying that but what gives you strength is what you have to fight for.

Sneaking in from behind like a 5foot ninja

[clean_cut_corporal]

Don't listen to him. He's full of crap.

[Hope you don't mind the Corporal listening in on your conversation with that creepy bandaged up guy.]

Fighting is important but its not just all about that kind of strength. Its the strength of humanity, or mankind that can being us hope. Lose that and it doesn't matter how strong physically we are... Might as well die.

[my_martyrdom]

With not many familiar faces, I was worried I wouldn't be able to see you or anyone else again. So I'm glad about that.

* Shifts her gear and slides her blades back in to the toaster holder and touches the back of her gas tank, frowning a bit. *

Oh dear. I'd say we could switch if you'd like. Thankfully with being so small I'm able to use less gas than those who are taller or heavier than me. Not that you are! But, if it helps you then we can switch, Armin.

She totally understands the complications with being short!

[my_martyrdom]

* Happy to see another familiar face, she gives a small little wave. *

Corporal! It's a pleasure to see your familiar face as well.

* Listening, she gives a small nod while completely understanding his words. * I sometimes think I should explain our situation better to those who are confused about why we fight. We're not only fighting for our friends and loved ones but for the sake of our race and the hope of a future free of fear.

[strongestcoward]

...Tch, barely better... Anyway! I deny that! I deny it with a grand passion. Even if a human wished with all their heart to break a mountain with their hands, could they do it?

[my_martyrdom]

No, not really with their bare hands but they will work with tools and do what they can to move mountains as humanity together in unity. That's what hope does, it brings us together to be able to move mountains and take down Titans.

At least that's what I believe.

All good things come in small packages as they say! :)

[clean_cut_corporal]

[Yeah, he followed Armin here. Picked up his trail not so long ago, he didn't expect to find you though, not that he's disappointed though.]

You too. I found Jeager, Chief Erwin and Auruo. Jean was spotted as well as Hange and Mike so it seems we're all appearing in this world in small numbers.

[He's having to bite his tongue and not comment on that other guy, seeing as its not his conversation.]

That's right. We're fighting for everything. What's to say the titans wont arrive here too? Maybe that's why we're being pulled here. Perhaps we're needed.

[strongestcoward]

Hah! Fragile bonds like that are so easy to break, it's the same as nothing at all. Germ like humans crawling all over the world... Belief isn't real.

Well, if no one minds...

[strongestcoward]

Who said... [Looks left... Looks right...

Looks down.]

Ah! How long have you been there!?

[my_martyrdom]

That's a horrible thing to say! You don't know about the bonds we all share as Titan killers in hope for Mankind's safe and secure future. We at least deserve the chance to fight for our rights as humans of the Earth and of this World we were born in to!

[strongestcoward]

You don't deserve anything, human garbage. Mankind can only struggle for what it's fingers can grasp. Clawing your way to safety even when your fingernails shatter, that is all you have the 'right' to. The world owes you nothing!

hah that they do! ♥

[my_martyrdom]

It sounds as if you were able to meet a lot of your friends. I'm rather glad to hear it because they make the process a little easier on the mind when knowing they're close by as well. I'm so happy for you, Corporal, Sir.

* Gives a faint smile and glances down, idly fidgeting with her hands. *

I was hoping to see Ymir... I did see Hanji, Reiner and Bertl and Armin as well! But, that seems to be it. Ad you of course! Thank you for adding up my list.

[my_martyrdom]

Why is it you hate mankind? Specifically all people in general?

There are good and there are bad but not all humans are the same! When we work together, that's the hope that brings forth a brighter future learned from past mistakes.

[strongestcoward]

Don't misunderstand. Good? Bad? There's no such thing. There is 'liked' and 'disliked.' I don't prescribe to any of your standards. I don't hate you, nor your kind. No more than humans hate an individual mote of dust. It is simply that even if you all pile up, you accumulate to only a pile of dust. It grates my nerves when you specks think you're able to achieve anything.

You're adorable btw, making me wish I played Ymir nbsjdfjsf!

[clean_cut_corporal]

No need to be happy for me or my squad... While we're stuck here, who's to say the last walls haven't been taken and the towns are swarmed with titans... No, the longer we're here the more we have to lose. Getting home is the important thing now.

[He doesn't mean to be a sourpuss, but he believes his point is a valid one.]

Try and gather everyone in one place. We could call a recon meeting and see what we've learnt so far.

Always happy to talk to a Kishin!

[clean_cut_corporal]

[Wow, nice, is that a dig on his small stature? Just wow...]

Long enough. Shouldn't you be moving on now?

That isn't a sentence anyone should say.

[strongestcoward]

[Well excuse him, he's ridiculously tall and Levi isn't eye to eye with Asura's nipples, how often do YOU look that far down geeze.]

...heh.

'long' enough.

I have a thing for the strange ones~ Call me crazy.

[clean_cut_corporal]

[I look down all the time actually.. At steaming titan corpses after I slay them and walk over their disgusting bodies. So, you're excused~]

. . . Are you mentally defected or some shit? Do I intimidate you? Because I heard you hold a perfectly flowing conversation with my team mate.

[Folding his arms over his chest now, just glaring up at you.]

[an_arlert_mind]

Hm? You were worried you'd never see me again?

[ Sure! He could understand her being worried about not seeing some of the others from the 104 trainees squad, but why would anyone be worried about never seeing him again? He didn't think he was all that helpful still... Wasn't he just a burden? ]

What?...Oh! N-no! Christ its fine, honest! You don't have to give me your gas. What would you use?

[He smiled and pulled the small tank around, unbuckling it.]

There will be somewhere to fill up around here, I'm sure of it! And I mean, we're both about the same weight, urr.. I'm probably heavier, but with the combination of our tanks, I think we could probably move together just as fast.
