[Luceti] [1st • Written] (backdated to the 12th ok)

[reviling]

[part 1 - arrival]

[ in the world he comes from, knowledge of what exists beyond the three walls that both confine and protect humanity is limited, even forbidden. Though he's ventured beyond the outermost wall - something that only the Survey Corps is capable of doing, and always with sacrifices - Levi knows humanity has only seen an immeasurable fraction of what it once had. He cannot begin to fathom what the rest of the world could be like outside of their short ventures beyond the walls.

So when he awakens in this place, it doesn't occur to him that it could be a different world entirely.

Although the wings are unsettling. Those are new. And itchy as hell. ]

The fuck...


[ in a world where people can transform into titans taller than the monstrous walls that keep them caged, the sudden appearance of wings somehow doesn't seem that terribly far fetched, even if he has no idea how or why, or - more importantly - whom.]


[Part 2 - recon: Written/Action]

[ It's been several hours now, and all of the information he's gathered so far is confusing at best and disturbing at worst. Knowledge of the outside world had been limited, but knowledge of other worlds? Unheard of. He's still trying to wrap is head around it.

After checking for the gear (nowhere to be found, much to his irritation, and thankfully he hadn't had to go far for his uniform), he finds a bench and takes out the journal-like device and studies it thoughtfully. The technology is foreign, and somehow it seems exceedingly fragile - though there is a space to write, and that's all he needs at the moment to help organize his thoughts.

So the following appears, in meticulous, elegant penmanship that he'd only learned a few years ago:]

• No reports or knowledge so far of Titans among general populace
  
• No walls - a 'dome' keeps people in by someone/something called the 'Malnosso'
  
• Inhabitants appear to be from diverse locations
  
• Human experiments...need more information about these damn wings
  
• Captors supposedly provide unlimited food, clothing, shelter. Pretty fucking convenient way to keep people placated.
  
• Currently no 3DMG found; other weapons readily available
  
• Technology much more advanced than anything found within the walls ("Electricity?")
  
• Rumors of a war with a group called the 'Third Party' that seeks to exterminate all living within the dome - motivation unknown
  
• ...animals can talk...fucking creepy; might be useful
  
• Require more information about location, threats, etc. Where the fuck am I and how do I get home.
  

[ooc: intro for Levi! Feel free to respond via journal (he's unfamiliar with technology so expect a WTF reaction for the first few replies), or find him wandering around town.
ALSO: Threads with the AOT cast will very likely contain spoilers for events that happen in the manga after the anime!]

Some people seem pretty content here.

[universal_charm]

Well, considering what some of them might come from, this is could be considered Paradise with a small fee every now and then.

[reviling]

How do we know that this couldn't just as easily turn into hell?

[universal_charm]

It has before, at least in my estimation. But for others, maybe that's run of the mill? It's kind of personal estimation. For me, this place isn't Paradise, but it's not hell either. I guess that makes it Purgatory?

[reviling]

Never knew there was a specific word for it.

[no, Luceti is far from many of the problems and hellish things he faces in his own world, but he'd be hard pressed to find it overly enjoyable, either.

Or perhaps Levi just doesn't know what peace really is, or what he'd do with himself in the absence of fighting for survival.]

[universal_charm]

Its a term from an Earth religion - Christianity. I don't practice it, but growing up with my uncle I learned plenty of it.

_{[ And plenty on how you could preach it and never follow it. ]}

[reviling]

Do they worship walls in that religion, too?

[Levi doesn't care about religion, but he's not known any other kind.]

[universal_charm]

Um, no. Is that what yours does? Nothing wrong with that, just you brought it up and all...

[reviling]

It's not my religion, just the only one I know of that exists inside the walls.

The Wallists think that the walls that keep humanity safe were created by god, and they worship them as goddesses.

[walls that used to keep humanity safe, anyway.]

[universal_charm]

Well, fair enough. I mean, I've met real "gods" here, so at this point I am willing to accept any and all kinds of gods.

[reviling]

Some people here think they're gods?

[sure sounds like bullshit to him, but apparently anything is possible here.]

[universal_charm]

Well, they share names with mythical gods in my world, so maybe they are. All I do know is they have powers, so I guess it makes sense that ancient Norse people would figure they were gods.

[reviling]

"Powers"? What kind of powers?

[universal_charm]

Easy explanation? Magic.

[reviling]

[funny how something was so prevalent in so many other worlds, but absolutely absent in his own (as far as he knew)]

That again.

[universal_charm]

You get used to it, kind of. I'd rather deal with tech than magic any day though.

[reviling]

They may as well be the same thing, as far as I'm concerned.

[universal_charm]

Heh, yeah, I guess it can appear that way. But at least you can explain technology. Magic not so much - at least to me.
