Soooooooooo. Time travel. 1300 years in the future. Another war.

And! And. Bonus: no kaiju.

[Someone doesn't sound happy.]

You're taking me out of the lab and away from all my completely invaluable and awesome research for what, exactly? I mean yeah, okay, dragons are cool in theory I guess, but — they're not kaiju! My specialty is kaiju! Hello? Groupie? Does that word mean nothing to you? Dude, the only one who's gonna be happy about this is Hermann. And you, I guess.

How about we just forget this whole thing and you leave me alone? Yes? Great. Go bother Chau or someone. He and that lawyer of yours can hang out and talk about their, uh, questionable morals and fashion choices and fake names or whatever. It'll be fun.

...what do you mean, no? Come on! You don't understand what you're interfering with, here! Without my research, I mean — what, is Hermann just supposed to continue on his own, or —

[And off he goes, voice tipping forward into high-pitched, hysterical territory. Good luck figuring out what he's saying.

...er, yelling.]

[You wouldn't be a groupie if you had to fight them head on.]

No kaiju? Sounds like a dream.

[bravedude]

Yeah? You wanna trade places, man?

[egotisticaljerk]

And give up a chance to beat these things to a bloody pulp? Not a chance.

[sceyence]

There's actually a lot of things to study here. Many new specimens.

But I know the feeling of having all your work go down the drain for... for this.

[bravedude]

But they're not — !

[SIGH. Dude. You don't understand.]

Ugh. What'd you have to leave behind?

[sceyence]

['Grading final exams' does not sound like a great way to be respected by another member of the scientific community. Well, hey. Since it's DM, he can be honest, right?]

Um. I did this research with... with another person. On certain mythical creatures.

It's not as far-fetched as it sounds.

[integer]

The lab to myself? No more incessant ramblings and nonsensical schemes?

There is a bright side to this. I'm elated.

[ WHAT A JERK ]

[bravedude]

[OH NO LOOK AT THAT SPECTACULAR POUT.]

Hermann. Dude. What happened to "together"?

[integer]

I -

[ okay fine, this is rather a little disappointing. he huffs. it's better than frowning. ]

If you're expecting me to go into this with you as well, I urge you to reconsider.

ok fine

[lucency]

To be fair, we did all have other obligations to take care of.

[ lol sucks 2 be everyone there tbh. ]

What exactly is it that you're researching?

c: ♥

[bravedude]

Kaiju. You know — uh.

[Here, Belle. Just look at his arms as he goes ahead and rolls a sleeve up for you.]

Massive, city-destroying amphibious creatures from a breach between worlds in the Pacific Ocean?

[lucency]

[ NO???????

i mean the tattoos are rad but what???? ]

- They kill everything, in other words, and you fully support them in that? [ gurl. ]

[oldmanstriker]

...

[Someone's going to let this run for a bit.]

Newton.

[bravedude]

Do you hear this? Are you hearing this. Because this is crazy. Abandon my research — it's — this is insulting.

[oldmanstriker]

Newt. Calm down. You're getting hysterical.

[Why is this now his job?]

[implodes]

[She blinks, tries not to look totally confused.] A what-what? Kaiju? Like - Godzilla?

YOU CAN CHILL OUT WITH THE YELLING BY THE WAY. I can hear you just fine, and I'm sure she can too.

[bravedude]

[And he just sighs because COME ON, PEOPLE.]

Okay, yes, like Godzilla if Godzilla were real and much deadlier and if there existed, down in a rift under the sea, an entire dimension of his brothers and sisters.

[implodes]

...Anything is possible. [A shrug.]

[controlledvariable]

Take a deep breath, dude.

[SIR R U OK]

You can go back to all your completely invaluable and awesome research eventually, promise. In the meantime you can take a break from apparently worrying about monsters killing everyone.

[bravedude]

No, I actually can't take a break from that, because it's my whole life.

[Nope. And he hasn't taken that breath, either.]

[itstotallyaliens]

Kaiju?

Um.

I don't believe I'm about to say this, but.... Sorry to break it to you, pal, but I'm pretty sure those don't actually exist.

FFFFFFFFUCK ♥

[bravedude]

Um.

[He holds up his arms. LOOK AT ALL HIS KAIJU TATS, MULDER. LOOK AT THEM.]

Every baby on here? Existed. Trespasser, Clawhook, Spinejackal...

[itstotallyaliens]

... You do know those are eventually toxic, right? Tattoos.

[he's thinking someone needs to have his anime budget taken away by his parents and let some light into the basement]

[zoeologist]

I know, riiiiiight?? They really think they can just take us wherever they want! And interrupting vital research at that!! It's really inconsiderate! At least in Exsilium, there's a chance you could see some kaiju through some spacetime rift changes, I think.

[bravedude]

[OH MY GOD BROTHER IN ARMS, COME TO HIM.]

Ugh. There's so much wrong with them. But — man, you really think so?
