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.

I'm not walking anywhere, trust me on that one. I guess I'll have to learn to ride...

[Where is the subway when you need it? This guy has been spoiled by the big apple.]

Can I ask more about your weapon? [His scientist sense is tingling.] What do you use it for?

[andallbite]

[ His tone strikes Eren as a little odd—like he was resigning himself to picking up riding. As far as Eren knows, horses are a way of life. You'd benefit from it, man. ]

It's something everyone in the military has. [ Topic of horses aside... ] Learning how to use it is an essential part of every soldier's training.

[dragonring]

[Engines are the way of life, dude, get with the program. And that means yes, Eren is right about Dave's tone.

Eyebrows rise when he hears the explanation.] Iiii didn't see that one coming. It's not some kind of like, technology the government doesn't want civilians to see, right?

[andallbite]

It probably is. [ Definitely is. A lot of its construction is top secret stuff. ] But the government isn't here, and I can't get a replacement like I usually could.

[dragonring]

[That's what he thought. Still, he wants to see this thing. And Eren is right, the government isn't here so...] If by any chance it has some mechanism to protect it from curious eyes, then I'll totally need better tools. Sooo... yeah, the Station is our best hope.

[andallbite]

Would it? [ A pause. ] Well, I guess we'll find out. I don't really care what we have to do, as long as the thing gets fixed.

[dragonring]

No problem. I'll see you there then, eh-- right. I'm David Stutler. [Wave of his hand.]

[andallbite]

[ Oh, right. Names. ]

Eren Yeager.

[dragonring]

[Yeah, those are a thing. Dave nods.] Nice to meet you, Eren. I'll see you at the station, I'll let you know when I get there.

[And with that he finishes this conversation.]
