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...ugh. His nose is all wrinkled throughout this continued discussion--he doesn't like where this is going]

Yeah, can I put in a vote for adding the dragons to that 'minimal damage' thing? I mean, like, kill them and stuff, but the more that's left behind, the more I can study. And the more intel that can be gathered can be used against them if anything like this happens again. Because just going in guns blazing and blowing them to smithereens might help right now, but sure isn't going to help if they come through again. [js]

If you can get me some video of them, I may be able to pinpoint some possible weak spots. For now, just off the top of my head, I'd aim for joints and tendons--like wing joints and stuff. Eyes, anything that seems like a membrane--stuff that would tear easily. I can't say just from looking at them what their physical structure is made out of--I can make guesses based on dinosaur anatomy but honestly that's about it.

[[Maketh frowns.]

Thus far we haven't had any of the same monsters twice. Some linger, of course, but they have not come back in force more than once. Perhaps that could change, but I do not think it likely. And though I understand your concerns, our resources are limited. The threat must be dealt with quickly, and with whatever force the situation requires.

[She has bombs. They will probably be used.]

[It's all logical information, of course, but little that can be proven beforehand. Maketh sighs.]

I understand. I will instruct the guardsmen to do what they can concerning your data.

Dude, A.) I can totally hear you. And B.) you do know that sexualities other than "straight" are a thing, right?

Aw, crap, I left it on.

[to Newt:]

Uh, yeah, of course I have, it's just -- you? And him? This whole time?

[One, they didn't seem the type, because unfortunately, while Ichigo Kurosaki has heard of other sexualities, his experience with them is about as limited as the average Japanese seventeen-year-old, and two, they didn't seem the type to be into each other. But....well, they're both enormous nerds, so maybe it works....?

he'd had no idea, romance is weird

[honestly...Hermann may be grumpy muttering to him but--Newt's actually thinking about it]

I mean...we could go to the bar. Or, y'know, we have food now. And a lake with a relatively nice park. We could pack a picnic or something. [said a little tentatively, like he's just trying the idea out]
