[ he tilts his head in thought, crossing his arms. ]
As long as you can bring it back to its original state in the event something goes horribly wrong, you're welcome to play around with it. I'd be interested to see what kind of improvements you could make.
I can't show you exactly what we do with it, fortunately for everyone. But...
[ he scans their general area... pretty safe, indeed. a little farther away, though, you might see one of these things lumbering around if you squint. he crosses his right arm in front of him, slotting the handle in his hand into a blade in the left sheath, and then drawing it out to point at the monster in the distance. ]
[ he follows levi's gaze and squints to get a better look. okay, he can't definitely see that far, but if levi thinks there might be something there, then there probably is. ]
Sorry, bro, [ BRO!!! ] I don't see it. But it's probably just my eyes.
You might want to move a little closer, then, or this'll be for nothing. You can use your fancy shoes, right?
[ a cable fires from the clunky and clearly technologically-subpar (for now?) gear at his waist, anchoring a couple of trees closer to the monster. and then, whoosh, off he goes. from the new tree he looks back, waiting for Tadashi to move closer as well. hurry up, rocket man. ]
[ without further ado he blasts off again, slinging past the trees separating them and the monster. once it's lurking right below him, he prepares himself, one blade in front of him and one held behind, so he can wind himself up with the help of the gas propulsion like a tiny sharp helicopter. not that he knows what helicopter is.
he jumps up and hits the gas, winds up, and then in a fairly ridiculous move comes down on the back of the monster's neck, nearly severing its head before it even has a moment to react. blood splatters on him, and he fires off a cable immediately, heading back into the treetops. as he pulls a clean white handkerchief out of his pocket to clean off the blood, he turns back in Tadashi's direction. ]

[ no use beating around the bush, here, right? ]
It's called the three-dimensional maneuver gear. It's a weapon, first and foremost.

Giants? Like. . . people like us, only thirty times as big?
no subject
[ and they're also nude. ]
no subject
Ok...aaaaay, not sure what to say about that.
[ although now that tadashi thinks about it, he kind of gets why levi is so serious. there's no time for fun if there are giants running amok. ]
pretend there was a period at the end of that sentence up there smfh
You probably don't want to know.
eh
[ bleeding heart tadashi somehow feels responsible for this, even though he really isn't. he really does feel sorry, though. ]
no subject
It is what it is. We're working on it.
no subject
[ circumstances are so different, man... how is this possible. he still feels bad. ]
Anyway, what's your plan now? [ in the jungle, he means. ]
no subject
Not sure. I was looking for other people. But I can't keep going for too long or I'll run out of gas.
[ he taps on one of the long silver canisters at his hip. he's probably already running low... ]
no subject
Ever considered upgrading that?
no subject
(because he is.) ]
Why, you wanna give it a shot?
no subject
I might.

no subject
Really? Well, when we get back to the colony, I'll be sure to take it off your hands for a quick maintenance check, then.
no subject
We do maintenance checks on them all the time. Someone like you can do much more than that, I'm sure.
no subject
You gotta show me what it is you actually do with that thing so I know what to do with it.
[ go on. they're in a relatively safe spot, anyway. demonstrate. ]

See that?

What's out there?

no subject
Okay, I can definitely see it from here.
no subject
[ he performs the same motion with his left hand, slotting in a blade, and then flips the one in his right around into a reverse grip. ]
I'm gonna make it go away.

That's what it does.

Woah.
[ and now, in sing-song— ] That was sooo cool!
[ good job, levi. you've flipped his nerd switch on. ]
no subject
anyway, once he's done wiping monster blood off his stuff to the beat of his ability, he slots the two blades back into their sheaths. ]
You say that, but I'm sure you already have ideas on how to improve it. Right?
