[The Captain has only just arrived here, after a short stint back home. For the most part, he has his memories intact, other than being in a different room (which meant a whole day wasted cleaning it up to his standard) things here still felt the same.

Learning about what has happened, and seeing how most of the City was going/have gone to Alfheim, Levi was hardly surprised.]

At least this place remains constant with it's horseshit.

[Mumbled words into his teacup, where he sat at the window table of a cafe in the Hel district. Because Levi had only just arrived back himself, he decided to remain in the city, keep watch and protect those staying behind if it came to that, which lead him to the meaning of this broadcast.]

If we're going to bother doing this, we might as well do it properly. Survey Corps, that's what I'm talking about, not the Knight's guard or whatever they do here for protection. We're gonna do it my way, the way the Commander would have had it. If you've got the balls to join me, do it. If not, don't waste my time.

[He paused, taking another sip of his tea before continuing.]

Might as well round up the rookies from my world too, don't try and hide, I've already seen and heard you talking to other people here, so come on out.

If you don't mind me asking, when something attacks....is there any kind of group to protect the civilians and those who are otherwise unable to fight? A place they meet? I just can't imagine kids just standing unprotected....in my world, it was my job to help protect them. If there isn't something in place, I would be willing to lead a group. We'd need people who could fight as well as those who can make sure no one slips out, or to get the people ushered in. It'd be volunteer based, but....it's all I have. 

[It's been bothering her. Granted, she wasn't here when the Gentlemen happened, however, it's still concerning that they're fighting with civilians left in the streets to fend for themselves. There should be something in place, if there isn't. Her place had one, albeit flawed. There should be no exception here.]

Also...if I had a type of machine here and wanted a working replica, would it be possible? I would have to pay you, of course. I would be able to fight much better with that around. 

[ So, kaworu's posts are often to ask things about you. But today, he has decided not to make it about you, as much he loves you all. Because, during the masquerade party last night something happened and that kept Kaworu up all night long thinking about it. And because his only friend left, he will turn to the network. ]

Unconditional love doesn't care for rules such as self-preservation. When you do not care for your shape, you do not care if you are alive or dead, you can forget your truths that limit you and the world of shapes you live in, for you need nothing from this world. And so you can love unconditionally, limitlessly, weightless and without any definitions to it.

I love you unconditionally, from the depths of my heart. [ though he is speaking generally, right now, he will talk about this on an individual level, too ]

I do not understand what romantic love, sibling's love, friend's love. I do not have such limitations to how I feel towards you. For each person I love individually, I can not measure my feelings. I do realize the way I love one is different from the way I love another, because each person I individually love is different. [ but because it's different, it doesn't mean it's more or less. Considering Kaworu's feelings have no weight, it's impossible to give it an amount of how much he loves a person. He loves you and he'd die for you, period. ]

But- [ this is what causes him to stop. That small "but". ]

I am closer to some people than to others and the way this connection is made is drastically different between each of you. I love Jade [ Draco, he is not hitting on your girlfriend, he loves you too, okay? ] and yet the way we connect is not like the way I connect with Shinji-kun. The level of intimacy we share is different.

[ he actually expected to feel the same towards everyone else he loves. Same level of intimacy, same level of being close, same level of attraction towards everyone just the same. And he doesn't. ]

I don't understand why.

[If there is one other thing Levi can't stand more than Titans and the Military police put together, its morons in general. Just like the band of merry morons currently mobbing around him, singing songs about how wonderfully short he is.

Not a smart move...

The video feed from his bracelet switching on at that exact moment was no fluke. The way his arm was positioned to give a perfect view and a brilliant sound of his knee smashing into the nose of one of the minstrel's. To his side, by his feet, was one of the others. Broken lute shatered in bits across the floor, not to mention the blood that had splashed his uniform and face.]

Tch, you think you assholes could bleed more on yourself instead of me? Goddam filth...

[stopping the beating he was giving for a moment, to pull a handkerchife from his pockets and clean the specks of blood from his cheek before he silently coninued the assult. There was a lesson to be learened here, Asguard... Don't mock people you know little to nothing about.]

( Cut for gif )

 [Petra's been everywhere in the past few days, honestly--from the festival to the edge of town, at least superficially. But now she's in the Common room of the Sigyn house, sitting quietly in a chair. She's fuddling with the bracelet, not quite sure how to work the touch screen yet, when the camera comes on. She looks quite shocked.]

I was just looking for a map...[She sighs, and then brightens up, offering a happy grin, innocently.]

Anyways, I should introduce myself! I'm Petra Ral, of the Special--I mean, Scouting Legion. [She doesn't quite know if the people here are privy to the information that she's on the Squad, and she's not going to risk it.  She adjusts, taking the bracelet off.]

That guide....it said we give people color, right? With our feelings. 

[She sounds skeptical at best.]

Have we saved many, then? I see some color around here. Also, are we truly safe from the giants here? Gates are not a barrier for something that's big enough...

[She spaces out for a second, thinking of the Titans at home.]

Is there 3 dimensional maneuver gear here? I feel that would help a great deal, st least for me and anyone from my world. I unfortunately couldn't tell you how to make one...

[Her voice trails off awkwardly, with a hint of laughter.]

I'm rambling, aren't I? I guess I should just end with a nice question everyone can answer: What's your favorite color? 

Oi, Yeager...

[The Lance Corporal used the toe of his boot to push in Eren's direction, what looked like a torn up chunk of human flesh. The scrap falling down from the wall, only just missing landing on Eren.]

...You missed a bit.

[Okay, so it might not have been the best start to a public broadcast, but Levi wasn't trying to win awards here, he was trying to clean up the mess that had still been left behind from a few days back.

He'd gained the assistance of the only person he knew in the City, the only person he had some kind of hold over, Eren Yeager.

Eren makes a bit of a face, but it's not like he's about to be sick, he's seen stuff like this before. The face is a veiled expression of distaste at being roped into this, but he respects Levi so he doesn't argue.]

Tch.

[Levi grunted. Pulling the makeshift mask of a handkerchief down away from his mouth with a bent finger, tutting in disgust as he addressed the network.]

Remain vigilant and keep a look out for the corrupt? What about remaining vigilant when properly cleaning this kinda shit off the streets? They sent excuses of guards to supposedly take care of this crap days ago... Yet here we are, cleaning up after the morons...

...Eren, pass me the brush.

[Dangling from his Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear only a few feet up from where Eren was cleaning, as he attempted to scrub away at some left over graffiti.

Eren doesn't have his own 3DMG with him so he's left to stand on the ground below, but he complies as best he can and tosses a brush up at Levi. Which then hits the corporal's head.]

((ooc: Joint post with Levi and Eren cleaning up the city, so both scouts will respond. Its set around days 331 -to- 333 because cleaning to Levi's standared would take a few days at least :/ ))
