Let's get ourselves oriented...!

We kind of exploded as a cast. In the best way possible. But now that we're all here and so may of us are new, let's talk about stuff!

Things to consider:

- Handwaved interaction. What are routine things our dudes are (will be) doing together?
- Living arrangements? Who is where and what is going on...
- Role in the Luceti Alliance which is not actually called that but an alternative name was never really agreed on. What's the sitch here?
- WHAT IS EVERYONE DOING WHO EVEN ARE WE???

This post is already very professional and organized, yes.

Please dump any commentary on where you think your character fits into any of this. Seriously, just start talking. We'll go from there.

This is going to sound very similar to Levi's activities since these old dudes pretty much do everything together ahaha but here goes anyway:

Erwin lives with Levi in Flame Building apartment 33 on the seventh floor. They have one room still open, but Erwin's not about to offer to anyone but Hange--which Levi would probably disagree with anyway ahahaaaa

A typical day consists of some training at the Battle Dome (oftentimes with Levi doing hand-to-hand combat for reasons talked about in Levi's post, though sometimes without), meeting up with contacts/allies, sometimes taking out a horse to the waysations in the forest, exploring (sometimes with others and sometimes alone), and monitoring the journal network throughout. I also assume there have been semi-frequent meetings with Jean and Marco as well, though he probably doesn't see them as much as Levi does.

Erwin hangs out a lot with some other old people called Ginia ([personal profile] whiskytraitorfirefight) and Kakashi ([personal profile] ura_no_ura). He and Levi have been learning modern weaponry from Ginia basically in an effort to keep up with others in Luceti and stay relevant battle-wise. She's been teaching them ASL as well because it seems useful for communicating more stealthily, and also Marco hasn't been able to speak since he died again. Kakashi is the dude spearheading the alliance plot and Erwin's gotten in on that, so they've become planning bros.

Speaking of the alliance, since Erwin's kind of committed himself and his people, you will all probably be getting dragged into that SORRY. But basically it's just a group of military types who want to teach and learn from each other so they can better protect themselves and the village and maybe overthrow the Malnosso one day HOPEFULLY.

BUT YEAH that's been Erwin's life recently. He'll want to have an in-person meeting with everyone asap. Except you Annie. You're not invited. Because they're going to be talking about you behind your back.

also he comes from chapter 48 so he still has a right arm. Levi has purposefully neglected to tell him about that actually but he will probably be finding out soon enough!!

SIGH, well, if Erwin wants Farlan to do something, he'll probably do it, even though it's an enormous pain.

Also, I was wondering if he would like to utilize Farlan directly as a member of the Corps or use him as an agent or something like that--since Farlan isn't exactly an orthodox member of the Survey Corps.

See, they could be friends!! They both want to look out for Levi, right? Totally...grounds for friendship...

And YES I was actually considering what the best way to utilize Farlan would be, since he isn't exactly a normal cadet. Using him as an agent would be a better use of his skills, I think, and also more interesting cr-wise.

RIGHT, perfect basis for a friendship, right there! Farlan is glad Levi doesn't want to kill Erwin anymore, at least...

Right, he's sort of the odd man out! It's pretty obvious he doesn't like being in the corps and he doesn't want to be in the corps. So I was also thinking it might be better to utilize him in another way. He could just claim that he wasn't involved with them anymore. Although if you can think of some other use Erwin would have for him, I'm certainly open to ideas.

[personal profile] corps 2014-03-18 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, this is...also something that Erwin is glad about...

He could possibly be a sort of in-between with Annie, just keeping Erwin updated on what she's up to etc., and possibly others, depending on who Erwin wants to keep an eye on. Because, yes, it would be easier for Farlan to publicly distance himself from the Survey Corps, if he needs to mention them to certain people at all.

Something else they can agree on. They've got all kinds of things in common.

That makes sense to me! Farlan would do that. Even if he might complain about it. PRIVATELY. Yes, he probably wouldn't mention the Corps--unless someone made the connection that he was associated with them, and he'd just say he left them as soon as he had the chance, since he'd been conscripted back home.
