001 [ written / action ]

[ written ]

[ Neat, concise, practical penmanship. Erwin does quite a lot of writing. ]

I would like to extend my thanks to those so quick to help newcomers. It is very much appreciated. Though I believe I am fairly well informed at this point, I have a few more specific questions:
  • Have you ever been drafted for service in the war? Volunteered for it? If so, what was asked of you?
  • How frequently are you and/or those you know taken in for experimentation? If you have first-hand experience with this, do you recall what happened?
  • Based on your experiences in Luceti, what is your personal opinion of the Malnosso?
If you would like to speak further, or more privately, this is Commander Erwin Smith. I am willing to meet with you in person if you are wary of speaking freely this way.

Lastly: I ask that Jean Kirstein and Marco Bott contact me as soon as possible.

[ action ]

[ Erwin's been in Luceti only a few days, but he'd memorized the layout of the village on the first. Food, clothing, weapons--he knows where to find these things, and he's been noting all of the smaller shops besides. He's far from content, but he is adapting, though still on high alert. He is well aware already that there is little he will be able to do immediately. But he can prepare to do more, and that is precisely what he is planning on.

He can be found at the smithy looking at weapons, at the grocery store (Levi wants non-perishables, wants to stock up), sitting outside looking through his journal--green cape around his shoulders, hiding his wings with more wings--or just about anywhere else by appointment. ]

[It's been an odd couple of days for Marco. It started when he met Captain Levi on the journals and got worse after a draining conversation with Jean about some of his other classmates. Former classmates, he should say, but he doubts he'll ever stop considering them that. Classmates and friends.

There's no way it's true. He doesn't doubt information given by Captain Levi himself, but even so... It has to be a mistake. There has to be a reason.

Either way, he went to bed with his thoughts reeling and had some time to mull over it. Now it's three days later and suddenly his name is being mentioned alongside Jean's in a journal entry. An entry written by Commander Smith of the Survey Corps, apparently. What is even going on? It takes almost a full minute for the stunning surprise to really die down, allowing him to come up with a coherent response.]


Marco Bott reporting in, sir.

["Trainee Bott"... "Trainee Bott" and "Cadet Kirstein"... He got seventh place it the graduation ranking, but in the end a Commander will still refer to him as a trainee. Training ends at graduation, but one doesn't become a cadet until they've been initiated into a division, so where does that leave Marco?

He pauses for a moment, chewing on his lip, then writes down his next response.]


Yes, that sounds like a very good idea. We could arrange a private meeting somewhere.

[He's in the Flame Building? Captain Levi's there too? Wow. At least they'll all be close together, then.]

Understood. We'll be there shortly.
