Very loud muse, canon is Pacific Rim

For the thousandth time, dude, I don't love them I study them! There is a big difference. Like, huge, enormous- While I agree that you can't dedicate half of your life and free time, and skipping dates, and research about it if you straight out hate the thing, you know, but I definitely don't love them.

Alright maybe a little. Like, in a scientific oh-my-god-alien-lifeform way. Got me? Who wouldn't be excited about that, right?!

Also, what you're doing now, here and now? While I'm all up for studying on the job and gaining experience firsthand and all those cool things, I still think this is a damn suicide run! You haven't even finished reviewing my canon, dude, what the hell! I demand to get checked very thoroughly and carefully before you do something rash like this, okay?!

[ quiet amusement because, that's a pretty loud, vocal argument you have there ]

I know you're trying to say 'no,' doc but all that seems to be coming through is a resounding yes on getting picked up as a muse, canon review or no canon review.

[ you've never met, and yancy was never really big on reading up on kaijj intricacies, but yeah ]

[It makes the screaming better that others can hear it too. Newt likes to be recognized.]

I-I'm not trying to say no, alright, I'm very pleased about having my own headspace around here and not crammed inside the back room like a few other fellows, but come on! Research is the key! You can't start anything without researching!

And it's not just about me, it's about kaijus too, because if you want to do anything with me you have to engage in all the kaiju material out there, half produced by my humble self, by the way.

You have them branded on your body, Newton; I highly doubt there's a mixup.

Oh shut up that doesn't mean I love them in the way everyone, mostly you, Hermann, accuses me for, okay? People tattoo cool things on their skin, or their greatest fears and desires, it doesn't mean anything!

Am I really supposed to believe that the Kaiju immortalized on you are supposed to represent your fears to be overcome? Nobody here is that foolish, rendering your tantrum quite pointless.

As usual.

No man, it's more of a being more awesome in my skin, right? It's not exactly my fault you can't see the awesomeness of kaiju body art because it doesn't contain numbers or equations.

I swear my next tattoo will be a number, which you can pick by the way, so I can remember annoying things in my life too.

Oh, honestly. It's less to do with the lack of numbers and more to do with a very intense lack of clear appeal for having the very creatures that are destroying the world imprinted on myself or anybody for the rest of their foreseeable lifetime.

[ he huffs. newton, please. but still - that certainly is an idea. ]

But if you're going to dig this hole for yourself, far be it from me to take away your shovel. I insist on the Neyman-Pearson lemma.

Not only that - the entire proof.

You can't tell me you don't feel any thrill when you look at them, Hermann! They are alien lifeforms, they are something new! It's just a little detail that they decided to come with violence and destruction instead of peace. And if you ask me it was kinda predictable; just look at the Godzilla movies.

[Oh dear, he's so going to accept the challenge.]

Well my friend, you've got yourself a deal! I'll tattoo your lemma all over my ass. Like- like one cheek has the lemma and the other the proof and when it's fresh and still red I'm gonna shove it in your face, how about that?

[HANDSHAKE, HERMANN.]

Does stomach-churning qualify as a thrill for you? Because it doesn't fit my definition. Then again, you've proven time and time again that you don't know the definition of "distasteful," either, so you'll forgive me if I'm not surprised.

[ NO THAT WASN'T PART OF THE DEAL. he grimaces. ]

So you'll twist it into another way to be petulant. As though I'm not subjected to that every day.

[ FINE, HANDSHAKE. he's so writing an angry email about this later. ]

Well it fits my definition, and that's why I'm here, and that's why I have to endure your endless whining every day, all day so you should be grateful instead of acting as Mr. Grumpers, would ya?!

[Now it's THE deal, and yes, he's going to do it. He shakes hands with a tight 'HA, GOT YOU' grip. Newt is out, gents!

And mails are mails, actions are actions! Whatever that means...]

Anyone ever told you that you talk too much?

Uhh- Actually yes, but! You know what dude, I'm just open about sharing my thoughts, right? I ask, I explain, I teach and I learn in the process and that's a great damn thing, so yeah buddy I don't care, okay?

Sometimes the best way to learn is to not keep flapping your lip, bro.

Well it's not my way of learning, okay? I'm not the cool silent type, I'm the loud awesome type so suck it up, dude!

At least you have a voice to practice, Doctor. I am still finding mine.

[GASP!!]

No way...! Nohohooo way! Are you kidding me, oh god you aren't, man! You're- you're who I think you are?!

That depends on who you think I am, I suppose. I do not yet read minds.

Oh, god, yes sorry, no, wait, wow! Uuuuh-- Cherno, right?

[He's walking around her to get every little details, and flailing his arms like some kid in a candy store, because HOLYCRAP.]

This is so cool, dude! I mean, wow this is so the next step in the evolution of jaegers, this is fucking rad! You're amazing!

[ despite herself, she finds herself smiling faintly at his enthusiasm. ]

I am indeed. Thank you, the compliment is very gracious of you, Doctor.

Oh stop it, don't call me Doctor, call me Newt, will ya?

[Waves a little, as he puts his hand on his waist as he's still eying her.]

And I'm just excited, you know, this is the first time I'm talking to a jaeger herself! It definitely saves me the trouble to get too involved with pilots, you see they can get really stuck up, and a real pain in the ass.

[Pfff, look who's talking.]

Oh man, I have so many questions!

I have always found my pilots to be quite reasonable. We have defended mankind together for a long time. Some can be quite arrogant, though, I agree.

.. Newt, then. You work with Doctor Gottlieb, da?

Yeah, I'm not saying they are useless or whatever per se, but their faces can be pretty huge. And the worst? They can see kaiju up close, and alive! How awesome is that!?

Uuuh- yeah, yeah we're in the same department with Hermann, but what we do isn't exactly working together, you see, I work, he works and then sometimes I get angry emails and then I throw kaiju matter on his side.

I am very grateful for Doctor Gottlieb. Without his early efforts, I would not exist. The two of you truly have such difficulty in getting along?

Wha- what do you mean, he helped constructing you? No way! Well- while I get he's a talented engineer, but- Alright now I'm jealous.

Well our methods of working are clashing a great deal, and he doesn't seem to understand that alien lifeforms are damn exciting!

He wrote my programming. The world still believed in us, then.

I agree that alien life is exciting, but I wish that it was a bit friendlier.

Huh, I learn something every day. Aaand, yeah those days were great, but at least now there's more kaiju and more material-- Even if still scarce for my taste, but that's passion for ya.

Man! To think that jaegers have wishes and emotions- This is remarkable, and damn it, Hermann won't get off my back if you two ever meet. And uh... Wait, wait- does that mean you feel, like, pain and stuff, too?
