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) ]

[Newt, however, has zero trouble with that question. In fact, he's going to hook an arm around Hermann's shoulders from behind, grinning widely]

Yep! We've been dating for at least a year!

[and this is probably the part where he gets shoved off tbh]

[Newt, also, perks at that last bit that Alphys mentions] Guns blazing is for chumps! We should definitely, definitely be studying them.


[as for that other bit] Hey, Sans, I take offense to that. I'll have you know, we regular-flirt also. [:>>>>>>]

[the turn of phrase makes Newt pause, frowning at first, before he comes to the realization of:]

...holy shit, I don't think we've ever gone on a date. [HE HADN'T REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS BEFORE but now it looks like he totally is o o p s]
ishotyouuu: (what's all this then?)

[Private] see? he remembered!

[That earns a much brighter smile from the normally snarky merc.]

'Course I care! I'm happy for you guys. S'good that something good came out of that bullshit city, at least.

And you only had the one planet, I suppose?

[The Imperial solution to such problems is simple: kill it. Write off the collateral damage.]

We will try to minimize the damage, of course, but I'm afraid we cannot avoid it entirely.
sciencelizard: (« [Anxiety] Look sometimes...)

GOOD

[She's looking worriedly between Sans and the camera. Please tell her that he knows these two. Please. Sans, please. She fidgets a little more, uncertain of where her place actually is in this conversation between all the snark.]

Well, uhm, back where, uh, we're b-both from, most materials have to be scavenged, uhm, anyway, so I'm pretty used to w-working with secondhand material. I don't know what, uh, any of it can d-do against dragons but, with more data, we could at least f-fortify some sort of safehouse??

[Oh, right. Introductions. That's a thing he should be doing.]

Dr. Alphys, meet Doctors Noot and Sherman. [Witty banter and deliberate misnomers makes this all less awkward, right? Totally.]

Seein' as structural integrity doesn't seem to do much against these things, I'd say that's a pretty good plan.
silvercrusader: is that a sale at aeropostale i spy (talk ⚔ --wait what?)

[personal profile] silvercrusader 2016-10-12 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
See! This is interesting!

[It actually sounds kind of boring, which is a feat, considering they're talking about aliens. But whatever, now he's determined to keep Hermann talking, because spite.]

So what the hell's a jaeger? That's . . . [Something German, anyway. He almost says that, but best not to give the Doc any more reasons to think him an idiot.

From far overhead, there's a distant roar . . . but there's been roars all day. One roar does not a dragon sighting make.]

[LEANING INTO THAT VIDEO because of course he's going to shove himself into this conversation] What Hermann means is, yes, Bruce, we've been dating for 502 days. [grinning widely because he's a little shit]

Anyway, yeah, no danger, we're not going near them if we can help it. We make the stuff and get the info that the bruisers take when they fight kaiju; we're not heading out there ourselves.
ishotyouuu: (comforting)

[personal profile] ishotyouuu 2016-10-12 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[That was a lot more heartfelt than he was expecting from the normally reticent scientist, and Wade's features soften completely in the face of such rare vulnerability.]

...C'mere, man. Hug it out.

[He doesn't bother waiting for a response, drawing the much smaller man into a tight embrace. Wade's more prone to hugs these days, he finds-- more susceptible to the urges of physical affection that his machismo tends to steer him away from under normal circumstances. He supposes the PTSD is to blame, but he can't really bring himself to be bothered by it.

Wade breaks it off after a few seconds, gripping the other man roughly by the shoulder blades.]


There we go, that's better. Glad we're still buddies. I'd hate to think I made you legit mad at me, y'know? I mean, it's funny when you and Newt are goin' at it-- like an adorable old married couple-- but I definitely wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end.
