We're Open! Time for Introductions!

[springcleaning]

[When Levi comes to, he's in a large room, like a ball room up in the Interior that they host galas in. He doesn't feel injured or tired, why did he pass out? Lifting himself to his feet he finds... that the doors are locked.]

This is fucking bullshit. Whoever did this is gonna be in a world of pain.

[He can't pick the locks and no matter how hard he tries they can't be kicked down. Looks like he's stuck.... As well as everyone else that shows up.]

Welcome to Shingeki no Dressing!
This is the introduction post! Post your character waking up and mingle around!

[It says something, that waking up sprawled on the polished floor of a room larger than the whole street he'd grown up on with no memory of how he got there doesn't even rank in the top five of the worst places Eren had ever woken up. He's curled on his side in a small alcove, dust motes skittering in front of his eyes as he half lids them, keeping a watch on the others present with a tense wariness, not intending on bringing himself to their notice until he's worked out a little more about what the hell is going on.]

[springcleaning]

[Too bad for Eren, the lance corporal is much more observant. Levi saunters over, the heels of his boots clicking on the polished floor, and he looks down at the cadet with a look of severe distaste.]

So this is where you ended up, you piece of trash.

[He kicks him in the chest. What else is there to do? This place may have miraculously healed his leg, but it doesn't mean he's happy about it. There's Titan Shifters here and he doesn't know where he is.]

Wake up.

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren's eyes clench shut when he hears boots approaching, too sudden and with a telltale wrinkle of his forehead. They're already reopening as soon as he hears Levi's voice, only to yelp as the other's foot connects with his ribs, pushing himself to sit up hastily.]

I was just observing, Lance Corporal! I get into enough trouble just charging into things usually...

[springcleaning]

There's no immediate threat, don't worry yourself. [It's mostly sarcastic.]

Get up, you look fucking retarded there on the fucking floor.

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren pushes himself to stand, wiping his dusty hands off on his shirt.]

I suppose you woke up perfectly put together then?

[His tone is more sarcastic than he intended, and he flinches a little when his mind catches up with his mouth, bracing for a blow.]

[springcleaning]

[He knees him in the stomach this time.]

Certainly not as fucking filthy as you. Tch.

[He eyes the dirt Eren's wiped onto his top, and looks away in disgust.]

Gross.

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren doubles up, the air wheezing from his lungs with a pained noise, forcing himself up straight after a few moments to get his breath back.]

It's only dust, it'll brush right off.

[He rubs his hands against his shirt, trying to get the dust off, but only succeeds in grinding it into the weave of the fabric.]

[springcleaning]

Ugh, you're fucking disgusting.

[He's not even looking at him right now, he can't.]

Stop it. There's no way out of this fucking room yet, don't make yourself so dirty I get sick.

[killingthemtitans]

Sorry, sir.

[Eren stops wiping his hands on his front, clutching the hem of his shirt hesitantly.]

Would... would it be better if I took it off?

[springcleaning]

No! What do you think this is?

[He points at the door.]

That other brat, the Armored one, he can't bust that door in, so I doubt you can. Am I wrong?

[toobig]

[Oh there he is. Bertholdt had wondered where the others had gone... He'd seen Reiner, but not Eren or Ymir... or Christa.]

[There was no way out of this room now, though, so there... wasn't really a point of continuing the mission just yet, as much as he hated to think that way.]

Eren... are you awake?

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren's lip curls up, naked aggression on his face as he stares daggers at the taller boy. Unconsciously, his feet brace against the wall, palm splaying down against the floor, ready to leap up and attack at a second's notice.]

What do you want?

[His tone is curt, cold, letting Bertholdt know that his presence is not wanted.]

[toobig]

[Bertholdt knows it isn't. Maybe that's why he came over in the first place. Why else would he, when he knows there's no way out? He just watches him, head tipping to the side.]

I was just surprised. Your hands are back already.

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren looks down at them, belatedly realising that he isn't mutilated anymore with a jolt of surprise registering on his face, before it's quickly masked with anger once more.]

I don't know if it's surprising, I have no idea how long I was even asleep for after your boyfriend choked me until I blacked out...

[toobig]

Well... yeah. I was knocked out too.

[He shrugs, even if his bored expression falters a little when Eren calls Reiner his boyfriend...]

I don't know how long we've been here...

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren doesn't notice the flicker in his expression, too full of righteous anger to care, but his next words surprise him.]

You didn't bring me here? I thought this was part of your plan...

[toobig]

Nah... This place is definitely not where we were going.

[He barely remembers their village but... this is way too fancy.]

[killingthemtitans]

[This is hardly the answer Eren had expected. Being brought here by his present kidnappers had been bad enough, but here under a new agenda... it unsettles him deeply.]

Good, someone's probably rescued me from you then! And you'll be punished for what you did, I'll volunteer to personally rip the back of your neck out!

[He swallows back a surge of black rage as his fingers itch for his blades, remembering not only what he'd done, the lives he'd ruined, but the betrayal of a good friend and comrade...]

[deviantlyhates]

---Eren...!

[ RUNNING TOWARDS YOU NOW. ] There you are! What-- are you hurt anywhere? [ Not that she's concerned because honestly? She hopes he is hurt so she'll get another opportunity to see his wounds repair. She hasn't had a chance to properly observe such quick healing mechanics, so it'll have to do. ]

[killingthemtitans]

[Eren would know those excitable tones anywhere, and he pushes himself up to sit hurriedly, backing himself into the corner. Dealing with Hange is much easier with a solid wall backing him up.]

Squad Leader! No, I'm not hurt. See? [He presents his arms forward hastily, showing unmarked skin before she can start pawing at him in the name of science.]

[deviantlyhates]

[ She grabs at that hand forcefully, bringing it towards her to see for her own eyes, poking at the skin. ] As expected, any injuries here have already been healed!

[ She doesn't let him go, though, instead looking about him. ] But what about the rest of your body, I wonder...

Last time I've seen you was over six hours ago. You had been taken away then; I thought you would be a lot more injured. [ Never mind the fact that she had been incapacitated then as well. But nope, she's not questioning why she's all better. ]

[killingthemtitans]

The rest of my body is just fine too! [Eren clutches his free hand at his shirt collar at that, in case Hange gets any ideas about stripping him down to check.]

I don't know if it's only been six hours. After all, some of the people here were more than six hours travel away... and we were definitely more than six hours from the Interior, but where else could this be? [Eren gestures up at the vaulted ceilings of the ballroom, the fine foods, the expensive decorations, so unlike anything he'd ever seen before.]

[deviantlyhates]

It seems that for the most part, everyone here is simply waking up as if they've been plucked right from what they were doing just to come here!

[ She sounds so excited about it, too, but then she eyes the building suspiciously. She kicks the wall Eren's leaning against. ] I'm wondering if they did the same with this building and the food here.

There must be a way to confirm or negate these theories.

[killingthemtitans]

There's no use kicking the walls, Lance Corporal Levi made me kick the doors until I collapsed and nothing happened. [Eren's still exhausted, his limbs trembling in the aftermath of the extreme weakness his transformation left him with.]

[Her idea is interesting, though, and Eren perks up a little despite his tiredness, smiling at her.] I'm sure a mind like yours can work it out, Hanji!

[deviantlyhates]

[ And taking in that new information...! ] It's probably just a matter of finding a weak spot in a wall. [ Oh the irony in her statement. ]
