Tomorrow is fine, so long as the world doesn't end.

Do you remember those photos I took of you? I have prints of them now. I'm learning how to make them.

You can have them if you want. Maybe you could give them to someone.

[belheir]

It better not end before you can toss me into the stratosphere.

[He'd be so mad if that was the case.]

But that's really cool! I'd be stoked to have them, honestly! Is it alright if I pick them up after we're done tomorrow?

[abandonhumanity]

That's fine.

They're some of the first ones I worked on, so they're not that impressive.

[belheir]

They'll be impressive to me! I don't know how to do that sort of thing, so the fact you can do it at all is really cool.

[abandonhumanity]

I've heard a few people say they've never had any reason to use a film camera. The process is complex. The only cameras they used in my true reality were probably more complex.

[belheir]

It's the same for me too. I think they use traditional cameras at weddings and funerals, but I've never had the need for doing something like that myself.

[abandonhumanity]

With cameras the way they are here, like the ones on our devices, there's really no reason to develop film.

I wanted to though.

[He's allowed to like it for no real reason. He tries to remind himself of this. It's difficult.]

I do enjoy that part of the process.

[belheir]

I think it's a good hobby to have. If you develop the pictures, then you have physical reminders of the the people here, not just ones on your phone. And you can even gift them to someone else.

I think it's great.

self-conscious nerd eren

[Kazuya's strange kindness is what repelled Eren from him initially. It doesn't bother him as much anymore, though Eren still finds himself suspicious. More so than that, probably, he just feels odd with the spotlight on something he already feels so odd about. He likes talking about it, though...]

Yeah. I agree.

If you ever need photos taken for some reason, just let me know. I'm always looking for practice.

baby boy.....

[belheir]

You'll definitely be the first person I ask. I can't wait to see the ones you already took, honestly. I'm excited, I bet they're really good.

[And he means it. He's incredibly earnest about it too.]

[abandonhumanity]

[He doesn't know what to do with praise like that! It makes his skin crawl a little.]

I'll show you when you come over then. I'll be impressed to see you teleport before you hit the ground.

[belheir]

[Get used to it. Eren is a Friend™ now.]

Is that a challenge? I'll have to practice!

[abandonhumanity]

This is as good a reason as any.

[belheir]

It'll be worth the broken bones, I think. It's just incentive to get it right, right?

[abandonhumanity]

It's no wonder that both of us have developed a high tolerance for pain. Inside my titan, I barely notice it at all. Having my arms and legs blown off didn't feel nice, though.

[belheir]

That's interesting. There's magic that one can utilize to make their defences better, or to make certain things invigorate or do absolutely nothing. If I weave mine just right, I can pretty much be resistant or immune to just about anything. It takes a lot of concentration though, and since I don't have my COMP, it makes it a bit harder.

There's even magic that can make it so physical blows actually heal you instead of hurt! It's really neat.

[abandonhumanity]

I'd never really had to fight against anyone with magical abilities before. That barrier was tricky.

The crystal hardening on my titan takes concentration too. There are other tricks, too, though. Titan shifters can shift their energy to certain parts of their body to heal faster. Even destroying our brains isn't a safe bet.

[belheir]

I've fought against bigger guys than you, but you were pretty tricky, honestly. Only a few of them have ever been as fast as you were, and even fewer have ever actually managed to grab me.

But that's pretty interesting to know. I'm sure you could have probably crushed my head too, but I'd be good as new in just a few seconds again... Thanks for not doing that, by the way. I haven't seen my own brain yet, and I'd really rather not.

[Br... Heebie jeebies. He actually doesn't like gore too much, which is where magic tends to come in handy.]

That spot on the back of your titan's neck is the weak point though, right? I didn't want to use magic on it, or at least nothing too strong there, since I didn't know if it'd have killed you. I have resurrection magic, but I don't know if it'd work in this place. I don't know how willing I am to test it either.

cw: suicidal ideation

[abandonhumanity]

That's right. The titan shifter occupies the nape of the neck, so if it's destroyed, the shifter could be too.

That being said, you don't have to hold back. We're resilient even outside of our titan, as you saw.

[Does he have a bit of a death wish? Maybe.]

bless his horrid little soul

[belheir]

That's true... I blew us both up and you just regenerated your arm and leg. Still, I'd feel really bad if I actually killed you when we were just trying to have fun.

I know death isn't permanent here, but it's still not something I'd like to do.

[abandonhumanity]

[Lame. Have some balls.]

That's your choice, then. You put up a good fight regardless. Let's do that more often.

[belheir]

[He just likes humans a lot, okay.. Put a monster or nonhuman in front of him and tell him to go ham and he will rip them apart with his bare hands happily.]

I'd love to do that. I'll leave my headphones at home next time... You had me worried about them a few times. Either way, I'll look forward to it.

[abandonhumanity]

I forgot to get headphones when I asked for that USB cord.

[belheir]

Ah... I guess you'll just have to play the music on your phone then until you get some! I can transfer the songs over to your phone when I'm there next.

ohhhhh we can wrap bless u yaks

[abandonhumanity]

Thanks.

I'll see you when you come by, then.
