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!]

i was just making sure that everything was all cool on team k-sci thats all

i mean sometimes u cant tell the difference between a "you left the toilet seat up again" argument and "i'm taking the house and the dog and the hot rods" argument

especially not when u guys are fighting

like two cats going at it

Yeah, actually. Both Hermann and I do. We built a bomb out of scrap back in Haven.

Seriously? [Newt sounds very interested in this bit of info] I mean--is that a common thing in your world? People trained for combat with dragons?

Quicker? How so? She just moves faster, or her reactions, or how she's built--?
fortunefavored: ((42))

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-14 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. Just, like...don't get hurt and stuff? I mean I know you can turn big and green and mean but that doesn't make you immortal.

[....]

Does it?

[Newt just....blinks for a moment. Because he knew Rosie WAS a youkai, he's just....never seen her form. Huh.

Except, also--]


Wait, wait, wait. You have dragons where you come from?!
fortunefavored: ((70))

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-14 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We can do that, but we'll need someone to get us to the lab. We're currently stuck in our house, and most of our supplies is at the lab.

Then I'm afraid there will not be enough time. Henry and I are departing immediately.

[She pauses, thinking.]

When this is over, we will speak.

[personal profile] zen_en_vert 2016-10-14 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Functionally, it sort of does. As far as I am aware.

[But that's for another day.]

You--you should see your face right now!

[Oh, good, maybe this one will play.]

Hm? Oh, in the... [He hesitates, his eyes winging toward the ceiling, and then he wags a finger.] You know, I'm not entirely sure of the exact location. I only just got here, so I'm still kinda getting a lay of the land. I had been grocery shopping, and then suddenly there was a big... fracas. It wasn't far from the Spire where I live now, though.

[She has no idea what her place in this string of shenanigans is. All she knows is if she doesn't get to do something with her hands in the next couple of hours, she's probably going to explode from sheer anxiety. And as Sans isn't helping, considering he seems to be in a perpetual state of Mostly Void, and Also More Void, she has to do something about it herself. And since she doesn't have the energy to chide Sans, nor the social standing to correct Newt or Hermann, she's going to move the topic at hand along.]

Do we, uhm, have anything to protect against a-all of that? Anything being exposed to, uhm, c-contrasting elements like that would weaken quickly. Unless we just, uhm, make some sort of b-big wall until someone els deals with the problem.

[She's very used to hiding behind things while Someone Else Deals With The Problem. That's a solid 90% of her problem solving skills.]

[Sans, for his part, simply snickers. "Deliberately disrespectful" is practically his M.O., as it dovetails very neatly into his whole persona. Minimal effort required! And he's all about minimal effort.]

C'mon, Alph. We're a bunch of nerds. I mean, you all are. We got this whole nerd trio here, and you're sayin' we shouldn't crack this open like the wall-nut it is?

[That's a one-way ticket to ting-tang walla-walla bing-nope.]

Why not somethin' with a little more oomph?

[Hermann stomps over, grabs his tie, and Newt, predictably, just smirks up at him like the little shit he is] It's not my fault you set it up for me so well. [that smirk widens towards a grin] What was I gonna do? Just leave that there?

[Newt can feel the noose of the tie tighten just slightly, and he tilts his chin up as if that might somehow offer him some more room to breathe when actually all it does is bare his neck a little more--but it sure doesn't stop him from continuing to look particularly smug]

It didn't insinuate anything they don't already have a solid idea about.

[Or is it a pink chinchilla with gray stripes?]

Oh, no, I would obviously taste it first to make sure it was safe! I'd never poison human customers through ignorance! Intentionally, maybe, but that's only if I'm in the wrong sort of mood, hu hu!

[ Well, surprise! Here she is. At least, for the time being. How normal the conversation carries on after the fact is a bit relieving at any rate. ]

Uh, ch'yeah. They're super condescending assholes though. I mean, sure, they're known as 'world destroyers' and could obliterate life as we know it in a blink but they could at least try to be humble sometimes.

I've never met any personally, but... Everyone knows about them. They're probably the closest thing to I dunno, like, overlords us yokai have.
