Fandom Attack on Titan: Chapter II

[Loki The Trickster]

Lucas exits his tent, rubbing his eyes. They're half-lidded and hazy and when they pass over anyone else's they can't quite tell if he's looking at them or looking at something behind them. To top it off, black bags underline both of his eyes. And to either side of them are crows, making him look far older than his years. Fatigue holds him like shackles of steel. He's definitely not an early bird. "Gah," grumbles the young man as he hobbles to the river, washing his face in the bank before they set off again, "Always the same."

He waves at Victoria, Linne and Hana from across the field as he makes his way towards their carriage. "Up early," he notes, "The usual. Get a good night's sleep?"

 

[Flame Demon]

"I did" Victoria says, though he voice betrays the fact she's still slightly tired, it felt like she had spend most of the time talking and reading, which she really shouldn't do next time "Be glad you're not one of the poor cadets who have to be woken by the drill sergeant personally though"

 

[Loki The Trickster]

Lucas makes himself comfortable on the carriage, if that's possible. The oak bites into his backside like a fox's teeth. "True," he mutters under his breath, "Wall Maria help those souls." He makes a gesture with his hands, a square, a book? He opens it. A book. A voiceless question of sorts.

 

[Two Fives]

Waking up, Niklas collects his thoughts along with his belongings before heading out to the river to wash. He does his face first, a splash to snatch him from slumber's reach. His body comes next. He dries himself off with his rags. The young cadet strolls towards a carriage, Hana's, and takes a seat beside her on the hardwood, looking out at the skyline, misty with dawn. "Morning," he generally murmurs, trading glances with anyone listening, "How's it going?"

 

[Flame Demon]

Tilting her head slightly Victoria seems surprised "You want to read a book?" she asks looking at Lucas, just the evening earlier he said he didn't read much, so why would he want to read a book now, he seemed to get along with a lot of people though.

 

[Loki The Trickster]

"Might as well," Lucas murmurs sheepishly, his voice rising slightly above the whine of wagon wheels as the horses start galloping across the meadows, "Read to me? I'm not so good at reading the big words." He settles back in the wagon and adjusts his posture every now and then.

 

[Flame Demon]

Victoria covers her mouth to hide her laughter "We're in the military, meaning we're adults" she says going through her bag and she holds out a book "This one's easy to read" she says, how come everyone seemed to be uncomfortable but she.

 

[Loki The Trickster]

Glimpsing the book, Lucas moves on over, crossing his legs along with his arms as he says to Victoria, "Don't think there's anyone in the military who reads as much as you do," About two or three seconds of pause pass before he speaks again, "You know what? I reckon you could read a word with thirty syllables - no problem."

 

[Flame Demon]

"Well I needed a hobby that didn't involve punching the crap out of bullies, so my dad handed me a book" Victoria says "Since I had punched someone who called my parents lame because my dad's a baker and my mom's owns a small farm" she explains and she sighs.

 

[Loki The Trickster]

"Probably needed a hobby myself," admits Lucas, "Me and my brothers, we always used to fight. About food, about dishes, about clothes, everything. They probably could've done with a hobby too. But... it was fun, not gonna lie. Kind of miss those days when we were younger and all lived at home."

 

[Two Fives]

They've arrived.

Drill Sergeat Dave leads the horses to a stable and a farrier takes over from there. Afterwards, he leads the cadets through the facility, meandering over cobblestone pathways and under bricked arches. Several uniformed researchers are waiting at the site, clad head to heel in grey, a cap, an overcoat, a pair of boots. Behind them are...

Titans.

When the realisation hits, each and every hair of the spine raises. Sweat trickles along that spine in rivulets. Breathing is no longer easy as all air catches in the throat, clogging it up like a bucket of bile. Gravity seems to increase tenfold all of a sudden and the weight of the world is seemingly on every cadet's shoulders.

“This is Soy, Chia and Flax,” Rin the Researcher states calmly. "You, the 88th Cadet Corps, are the first to experience this experimental exercise. Depending on how this ends up, this will become a part of Cadet Corps training. The Royal Government has said that it's important for a soldier to see a titan in the flesh before... seeing a titan in the flesh. And here we are."

Soy has long brown hair, browner at the ends where dirt and dust has stained them like henna. At anyone who looks at him he looks back, eyes a barbarous blue, barbarous in the sense it evokes imagery of shark-infested waters. One of the researchers states, "Don't look at the eyes too long. Even the most experienced of soldiers have gone mad staring into the abyss that is a titan's eyes."

Along Soy's arms are an assortment of barb wires and bolts, varying in size, that keep him nailed to the concrete. He has shackles and other steel restraints placed everywhere. His neck is no exception and around his neck steel wraps around like a dog's collar. These precautions are necessary, Rin the Researcher explains to a cadet. The other titans, Chia and Flax, are restrained in the same way, if not more so. Someone notes that Flax is the only titan of the three smiling, that smile as sociopathic as can be.

Victoria's eyes widen at the Titans, now she understood why her aunt wanted to join the Military Police, while never having seen many her uncle watched them from the wall, she clenches her fist to stop herself from shaking, she already was one of the shortests people out of all the cadets, so Titants were gigantic compared to her.

 

[Harley Quinn]

Hana had slept the whole ride there not waking up for anything or anyone. Now feeling refreshed and ready to seize the day. This all changed when she saw the titans in front of her.


Stopping in her tracks, her expression had changed from a blissful one to a terrified one. Her eyes widened as she timidly looked over each titans face, after coming to Flax, a shiver went to down her spine. Slowly she stepped back trying to hide behind her fellow cadets. This was crazy, someone could get eaten at any moment! Hana found a safe spot behind Nik and Midori, the terrified expression never leaving her face.

The bunny in Midori's belt shifted sensing the fear of predators he could tell the Titans sensed them too, he put a hand on the bunny in s comforting motion.

His facial expression wasn't readible as he looked at the Titan who's head was down on the ground, he was so.... Large, and dare he say it probably strong.

He stared at the once menacing Titan his foot moved only an inch, the other one that stoodup tied down heavily though turned and looked at Midori, that psychotic smile appearing on his face like it belong there. Midori wasn't scared.

 

[Loki The Trickster]

The researcher's words barely register. Her words are in one ear and out the other. All Lucas hears is the titan, the way it groans, the way it grinds against its shackles... The sound is sickening. So sickening that, abruptly, he keels over to his knees and vomits out last night's rations. Whoops. He might have gotten some on Victoria's boots.

 

[Harley Quinn]

Hana peaked out sheepishly from behind Midori in an attempt to face her fears just in time to see Lucas vomit. "Oh god..."Seeing someone else throw up churned her insides, she leaned forward and held her stomach gagging. Though she didn't threw up she was being really dramatic.

 

[Flame Demon]

Victoria manages to calm herself down, deciding to ignore the fact Lucas threw up and that some had gotten on her boot, she'd clean it later. She stares up at the titan, this time with a blank face as she remembers her uncle's training and words "To kill the hunters you must think like it, don't be scared and don't show mercy", as much as she wanted to please her aunt she makes a decision, right then and there, she was going to join the scouts "What exactly is the excersice?" she asks calmly while holding a staring contest with one of titans, face completely blank but her eyes show hatred and disgust rowards the creatures.

​

"Yes, right. The exercise. We'll be doing that soon... but, first, a lesson," Rin the Researcher explains. She carries herself with elegant poise, every word, every step, everything about her, calm and collected. "The researchers here know as much as there is to know about these creatures. Like how to kill one dead. Anyone might think it simple..."

Rin reaches into her coat and draws out a knife. She presses it to the titan's arm and opens it up through flesh and bone, bursts of blood spraying across the white of her overalls. The blood boils, steaming over into red mist, then nothing at all, her overalls without stain. And, when the researcher wrenches her blade from the wound, there is no wound, it is simply gone, healed in no time at all.

"They couldn't be more wrong."

She puts her knife away. "Most of you are scared. Good. You should be. Hold onto that. That emotion can be the difference between life and death. Those of you who aren't underestimate these creatures. Hundreds of soldiers died, just to get these test subjects here. Know that. Remember that. Remember them."

She goes on to describe in detail how to kill a titan, the nape of the neck, how deep one must cut. How titans appear, their height, how it varies from one to another. Their eyes, their faces. Their reproductive organs or lack thereof. The abnormals. How they ignore all other animals and eat humans exclusively, not because their hunger drives them so but because for them it's sport.

As she finishes her last sentence, a researcher rushes out of a nearby building and says Rin is needed inside. Whatever it might be, it must be urgent because Drill Sergeant Dave along with the other researches accompany her.

[Appawlezz]

Being part of a military corps family Midori knew alot bout titans from his grandpa and father they where both survery military corps so the information wasn't new to him, he stared deeply at the menacing titan blood boiling, I'm going to avenge you. he thinks he grips his belt tightly that white shows on his knuckles if you looked close.

He keeps looking at them as if they could read his mind, I'm going to become the number one titan killer, humanity's savior, titans nightmare.

He knew well enough about these monsterous creatures what they can do, what they're capable of. He knows their tricks, their ploy how fast they are, they aren't dumb for pair of man eating titans.

No....No he definitely wasn't afraid of them.

 

[Harley Quinn]

After getting a slap on the back of the head from a higher up soldier and pulling herself together. Hana listened carefully to everything, still hiding behind her comrades. Titan were truly terrifying nothing could of prepared her for seeing one upclose. She dreaded meeting one in combat. The girl was shook back into reality as she saw the teacher run off inside on some important business.
Hana looked around at everyone elses faces, examining their facial expressions, then to the titans again. She took a couple more steps back and then broke the silence. "I was wrong, there is something scarier than the Drill Sargent." Keeping her eyes on the smiling titan, she swallowed hard. Were they just supposed to sit with these titans, alone?!

 

[sr901]

Linne always imagined seeing a Titan firsthand would be terrifying, much less seeing one up close. She hadn't imagined even a captured one would be like this. She felt frozen. Unable to move, unable to look anywhere but at the Titans before them, hell she felt as though she were barely able to breathe. Her face was stone serious, not showing any of the internalized fear. Her eyes remained locked on the smiling Titan. It was enjoying this. Their fear. She wondered if other Titans smiled as they preyed upon humans. Mocking their fear in their final moments. The thought alone pushed her fear back, giving rise to a boiling rage she had never felt before. She realized now she hadn't truly hated Titans until now. She hadn't known what hatred was until now.

So locked into her thoughts was she that she hadn't realized both Rin and Dave had left the room for a while. Snapping back to the moment she realized her fist had been clenched so tightly it started to hurt.

 

[Flame Demon]

It was save to say that Victoria was a little scared, but honestly, her uncle had been very useful and her father's parents had fought them with the scouts, they were retired though, but she always found it fasinating to hear about the stories they had, how her grandfather lost a leg. Glancing at the rest she notices only Midori isn't scared of them, but she figure some people must have had family fighting them before.

 

[Loki The Trickster]

Lucas struggles to his feet. He's in shambles. Wiping some partly digested bread from the corner of his mouth, he murmurs, "Did they leave us alone with them?" Every now and then he stares in the direction the officials ran off to, hoping that they return. Every second feels like a minute and every minute an hour. Time feels so long. "When are they coming back? Something might go wrong!"

 

[Harley Quinn]

Hana hurriedly hushed Lucas. “Shhhh!!! You might atangonise...them!!” She looked from him, to the Titans staring at them the way she had looked at her rations last night. Hana felt as though she could be sick again.

"They're stuck to the ground, if you wanna see something distrurbing as most people call it I'll take you to see my grandparents" Victoria says, looking back at the Titans, hell her grandfather even had some special training ready for her if she joined the scouts, which she would, especially after seeing this.
