NOTIFICATION/REPORT #2 || BACKDATED TO 10-10 AFTERNOON

Attention: Hadriel Residents
Subject: Dragxkdksoe


[ Abruptly, the text is posted, with a video immediately following, the screen initially shaking, jostling, as one voice protests in the background ]

Newton, give it back--!!

--we’re talking about dragons, Hermann! There’s no way you’re doing this in a stuffy text post!

[ The video stabilizes a bit, currently held just out of reach of one (1) Hermann Gottlieb. The arm holding said phone out of reach belongs to one (1) Newt Geiszler. It’s debatable how long he’ll be able to keep it out of Hermann’s grasp, but he sure is going to try.]

[ For a petulant, tortured moment Hermann sincerely looks as though he is about to lunge for the phone, a matter of aggrieved principle and standard outrage. Yet, 1.53 seconds and he thinks better of it. They are recording. He would be seen looking foolish.

Hermann grits his teeth and straightens, standing up, all stiff professionalism as he leans on his cane. He has rarely used video. He hates this. Newton will hear about it later, once the video is off. ]


Fine. As you may know, I am Dr. Gottlieb, that is my colleague--

(Boyfriend!)


[ They are recording. A muscle works in his jaw, but Hermann swallows his protest, resists the urge to throw something at or strangle Newton, and continues-- ]

--Dr. Geiszler. In our world, we worked in Kaiju Science, which to put it succinctly, means we studied the behemoth -- larger than these dragons, I assure you -- alien creatures invading our world, and aided the development and design of offensive and defensive weaponry.

We are requesting data--


[and that’s about the time Newt’s managed to prop the camera up somewhere, and pops fully into view.]

--basically I want any info anyone has about the dragons! Flight patterns, movements, where they’re hanging out, their favorite color--seriously, anything and everything. You notice it, I wanna know it! Aaaaand if you can get scales or something, that’d be super helpful. Or any other bits. The more there is to analyze, the more likely it is that we’ll be able to throw something together.


[and tbh that’s about as much of serious professional as Newt is going to be able to get before really yeah okay he has to fold and his face splits into a wide grin] Also real, live dragons, you guys. Dragons! This is seriously some King Arthur level shit! How cool is this?!

[ observe the look of deep, deep, depthless chagrin as it settles into the lines of Dr. Gottlieb's face, lines carved by almost seven years of this.

LOUDLY: ]


Videos if they may be safely obtained, observations, specifics, as specific as possible. Note the effectiveness of your standard weaponry, or whatever it is you can do and use. The scales would, indeed, be particularly helpful.

Be safe, but be quick and be thorough.


Yeah, don’t die while doing it. That’d be dumb.


...Right. The sooner, the sooner we may be able to put something together.

So, like….chop chop and stuff. Thanks! K-Sci, out!


[aaand yep gonna turn off that video now, though because he’s Newt, he’s continuing to talk as he’s reaching to do so--]

Though maybe it should be D-Sci since it’s dragons and not kaiju--


Please, perhaps once you've studied them for a decade, and you can't--


[--click!]

[ooc: i'm so sorry (nikki isn't) but plz help!! -- they'd have mentioned DRAGON PIES WTF but backdated) ]

No, of course not. Although I doubt too many people here are all that equipped to go up against something their size...

[ Honestly, Allison doesn't like sitting on the sidelines not doing anything but she's not even sure she'd feel comfortable doing anything. But at least she has her archery skills, which could come in much handier than hand-to-hand against something that flies, no matter that size. ]

He does seem pretty excited about them. And the dragons.

I will not survive without butter! I am a baker after all. Or at the very least eggs? But I haven't seen feather nor beak of anything approaching chickens around here. Or even ducks!

Oho! Then you don't use behemoth lightly, I see! Goodness. Imagine if something that big sneezed.

Only we dragoons are trained in that particular style of combat. We're an entire force, a specialized division of knights who emulate dragons.

[Baron's greatest, at one time, before the Red Wings came along.]

She's large, I believe I saw another of the dragons and it was much smaller... but this one... I'm surprised by how fast she is for her size. What she lacks in breath... as far as I've seen... she's making up for with tooth and claw.

I would say... beyond a doubt, they're similar enough. They can be fought in the same way, I'm sure of it.

[Though he does pause. Dragoons are trained to work closely with dragons, after all... fighting is just one of the things they do.]

What I've heard is that they've been hostile as soon as they came through. If it were any different, I certainly would want to consider... alternatives. We could leave them be, but... where else would they go?

i don't think i was the one to ruin it, my friend.
that came well before me.
well, if you get close enough to one to cut it open ...
you'll surely find out, won't you?
or are you leaving that to the rest of us?
robobees: (invite me in.)

text; you should be but i'm not so here u go

[personal profile] robobees 2016-10-17 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
ah, in that case ...
it's a bit more difficult to parse out alternative meanings via text, you know?
do explain.


( h-henry ... please ... don't do that. don't troll your tentative bro-in-science. )

i'm
really
really
sorry
i even thought to try to make that sort of reference
i should have known you were going to get all technical on me


( dude he even forgot to use punctuation.

look what you did.
)

do you do that often, by the way?
write out novels to debunk references made by teenagers in order to lighten the mood?
do you hate fun things, dr. gottlieb?

[Hermann gives hugs like a man who's never given-- or received, for that matter-- very many hugs in his lifetime. Not that Wade's the reigning Hug Champion by any means, but at least he knows enough to fake it. Not that he'd ever criticize, of course. It's cute, regardless of how awkward and dorky it is.

That very mature eyeroll on Hermann's end earns an answering shrug from Wade-- if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, and the two ducks bicker like they've been at this for thirty years...]


Little guy helps you blow off steam, huh? I feel ya. I'm kinda jealous, not gonna lie.
ishotyouuu: (whaddya want?)

[personal profile] ishotyouuu 2016-10-17 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)

yeah honestly it's mostly just his prickly outer shell. usually that sort of burns out pretty quick. sometimes it's how he shows affection

if he's actually really like permanently mad, u'll kno it because then he doesn't yell

[Newt can't help it--he full on snorts at the mention of a wall.]

Definitely, definitely not a wall.

[anyway] The more information we can get about them, the more likely a counter attack is to succeed. And maybe something we build out of junk can be something to help with that.

Damn. [Newt chews on his bottom lip] Are you going scouting or what?

Who emulate dragons? What does that mean?

[anyway, bout that dragon] So she's got both brute strength and speed? I mean, no breath, so she's like a tank. Is there a particular combat she seems to favor? Or a method of attack? I mean, like--if you were to compare her to another type of animal--a normal animal--what would you choose?

And, like...don't die n' stuff. That would be shitty.

Okay, what spire are you in, now? [just...getting straight to the point over here]

i'd be up for trying to cut it open but it's also a giant fucking dragon. and it'd be better to harvest what needs to be harvest and freeze it and then get to studying it from there

maybe i can at least get some pics and diagrams and stuff of a corpse, but they're so big that actually dissecting them would take way too long and we have a lack of a large enough freezer to store the body in.

Wow, yikes. They sound like massive douchebags. [newt wrinkles his nose] I don't like the sound of that 'world destroyers' thing, though.

Yep! We won. [supposedly. they haven't gotten their yet in their world but details.] Managed to get a bomb through the breach and took them and their masters down.

We will scout before we act, of course.

[Oh good, about damn time.

But something strikes him.

Oh, right! I wanna ask you something before I forget about it. You and Newt build machines and stuff, don't you?
liketeenspirit: (if there's something strange)

[personal profile] liketeenspirit 2016-10-17 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nah, he gets that it's not about powers. Ishida would be acting differently if it were. This isn't uncomfortable enough to be anything like that; nothing's being sidestepped, nothing's being left carefully unsaid.]

Seriously? You want me to stand here and videotape it like some kind of tourist?

[He yelled at a guy for doing exactly that like two hours ago.]
