There's a kid named Dick Grayson living with you, yes?

text

[alofts]

Yeah. Not yours is he?

text

[gevurah]

He's sort of a friend.
This is out the blue, but if there's ever a problem I'd like to know.

You're about to get a call from the principal of my school to come pick me up. If you have time, please bring me a new shirt.

[alofts]

And just what the fuck am I 'about' to learn from the principal?

[ Your only chance to get in your side of the story, Armin. ]

[blondtactician]

I got into a fight. Sort of. I'd say I defended myself, but the school has a zero tolerance policy for violence.

[Sure enough, the principal calls shortly after for Levi to pick up one Armin Arlert, who had been fighting on school grounds.]

Annie just approached me to talk after my shift at work.

5:36 PM
Funny, I just had a chat with Reiner. Didn't think Annie would be stupid enough to hang around alone.

5:36 PM
Only thing is Reiner was coming from the library when I saw him.

5:37 PM
Shit. Give me the run down as best you can.

[blondtactician]

[For now Armin will just completely avoid mentioning Reiner. He's only reporting to Erwin on that situation.]

She waited outside for me for quite some time, and when I emerged she demanded to know what happened at school. There are all kinds of crazy rumors going around. I tried to tell her I was fine and obviously I didn't pick a fight but she kept at me about it. I guess I should've just walked away at that point, but I told her I threw a kid into the sink. She got even more cryptic than usual.

She said it sounded like she should fear me than you or the commander when she wakes up back there.

I asked her if she was afraid of me now. She said she wasn't, and she said she hoped that for me and Eren's sake Mikasa would show up and kick my ass for being 'the type of bully she can't stand.'

[It shouldn't get to him. It shouldn't get to him. But Armin's pissed about that, more than anything else. She's probably just trying to get under his skin. She probably doesn't know how badly he's been bullied in the past, though it's not hard for people to guess that about him.]

Then she asked if Eren knew. She assumed I hadn't told him [correctly] and made some sarcastic remark about how strong I've gotten, then walked away.

I can't make heads or tails of it. I guess she just wanted to know what of the gossip was true.

[Two small, plain gift bags are left in front of the door to Erwin and Levi's room on Father's Day, each marked with their name, with no card or mention who it's from or what the nature of the gift is. The handwriting may be recognized as Armin's neat script.

Levi's contains two leather cuff bracelets and a thumb drive full of metal. Even though Levi's more into post-punk. <3]

I am SO SORRY for how Peter and Mr. Thompson are just NOT LETTING THIS GO.

[clearly he can figure out what "this" is]

text

[alofts]

I can't call myself surprised, but if either of them try to finger my subordinates for what came down to an operational safety concern I won't tolerate their well-meaning but poorly executed concerns.

[smarterthandad]

Even MOM wouldn't still be harping on it this long.

[levi has no way of knowing what a scathing indictment of peter and flash that is, but maybe he can ask hank or tony sometime]

text; 7/29

[blondtactician]

I'm back. I'll write up a report soon.

I can't get ahld of Eren.

[alofts]

Hange is missing.

I need that report ASAP.

[performance]

Levi?

Regarding the announcement made by Annie and the others... well, I'd like to hear your side of the story, if you don't mind.

voice

[alofts]

I can do that. Last I spoke to any of them before this was in Colorado, so there's some serious ground to cover.

Are you home?

audio; backdated to Saturday night

[singingmagnolia]

Are all the festivals around here so exciting?

[alofts]

[ Oh thank god ]
Are you alright!?

I made myself look like an ass going through that fucking corn maze looking for you after those Hornets jumped us.

[singingmagnolia]

[It starts with yelling for someone to 'get back here'. There is the sound of the dog barking in the background. A crash of something being knocked over.]

Where do you keep the rags you don't care about?

FIVE MINUTES LATER

[singingmagnolia]

Never mind, I took care of it!

[Said way too quickly for it to be anything good.]

[observationalhazard]

Hey, Levi! How do you feel about stakeouts?

text;

[alofts]

They're a rare medium of reconnaissance well done.

[ Embarrassing. ]

audio

[huntergames]

Captain, I have a question, if I may.

audio

[alofts]

What is it?

[ The 'make it quick' is unspoken but dipping from his terse inflection. ]
