video, both courts.

[ It's been a couple of weeks since he's last shown up over the lockets (gone mostly forgotten thanks to other events), but when Eren finally makes another appearance, he seems a little exasperated. ]

I need a mechanic. [ Yeah, that's the greeting. ] Or—just anyone who can repair something for me. My maneuvering gear is busted, and I can't get it to work again on my own, so I'm looking for anyone who's willing to give it a shot.

Dude, I tryin' to — it's not like you were being really specific about it!

[andallbite]

I'm not sure there's a whole lot else someone would need it for...

[ ... To him, anyway. ]

[slugout]

You were basically describing a toolbelt with strings attached. Nobody was gonna get what it is that way.

[andallbite]

Most of what you say doesn't make sense to me, either.

[slugout]

... Fair enough. What happened to your stuff that it's broken?

[andallbite]

[ Sigh... ]

It got roughed up pretty badly. I'm guessing all the water it was in didn't do it any favors, too.

[slugout]

You jump in the bay or something? [ hahaha he's so funny, what a good inside joke from gekkou ]

[andallbite]

[ Uh... erm. ]

It—wasn't a bay.

[ For the nth time, it's said in that "I'm not even sure what that is" manner. ]

[slugout]

Lake? River? Really big bathtub? Just stood out in the rain too long?

[andallbite]

[ It's kind of sad, watching a goofball try to talk with the ultimate buzzkill... ]

The sea. It's a long story, but it was the sea.

[slugout]

[ poor eren. ]

Yeah, it doesn't sound like there'd be many trees or buildings to climb in the middle of an ocean.

[andallbite]

There wasn't anything like that out there.

[ ... Duh, Eren. ]

And it wasn't my fault. Stop thinking I jumped in it.

[slugout]

Somebody pushed you in? Pretty rude, if you ask me.

[ nobody asked you, junpei ]

[andallbite]

Yeah, it was something like that...

[slugout]

So? Show me your thing. I'm all interested in what it looks like now.

[andallbite]

Er—but it's broken. Assembling it together and putting it on feels kinda pointless.

[slugout]

... I thought it was just a belt?

[andallbite]

There's a lot more parts to it than that.

[slugout]

... Like?

[andallbite]

Like the fan, cable reels, scabbards, gas canisters, triggers, spare blades...

[slugout]

Dude, you didn't say it was like — part sword! That's so cool! Just show me a picture, at least!

[andallbite]

A picture?

[ He's not going to draw anything out for him, if that's what he means... which feels even more pointless than putting a broken set of gear on. ]

[slugout]

Yeah, with the phone-necklace thing, instead of your face.

[andallbite]

—Can you do that? I didn't know this thing could work if you weren't looking at it.

[ You know how some people come up with stupid assumptions about technology? Yeah. ]

[slugout]

Yeah, just flip the little flippy part upside down. See? [ AND HERE WE GO, junpei is flipping his upside down!! look its a bunch of swords. this kid may or may not be messing around the armory. ]
