NOTIFICATION/REPORT #2 || BACKDATED TO 10-10 AFTERNOON
Attention: Hadriel Residents

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) ]

[Video]
[ He did see his responses to Newton, but they were not very specfic. ]
Indeed, and this cave simply isn't large enough for them to comfortably live. Unless the Door took them back out, we would need to coexist. Their likely inability to fit into the tunnels would also put us in a position of having to provide beast corpses for their food.
[Video]
[There is a note of pride in his tone as he talks about this, being a dragoon is more than simply a job, it's a way of lift for him.]
Exactly. Dragons require a great deal of sustenance, and it's just as important for them to have the sky above them to fly through... [So does he, but he's trying not to think about that lack of sky too much.] Anyway, if we could coerce them back where they came from, I would aid in those efforts. But I fear there may not be enough time for that.
[Video]
[ That... lends itself to quite the mental image. It would be something to record, yet he cannot quite bring himself to ask if this man knows someone who would be willing to do so. ]
Yes, imagining winged beasts of such size without the sky, contained here... they would surely waste away. However, it is not a matter of time. They did not choose to come here. The Door took them; it is unlikely it will take them, or that the god or gods capable of using it, will remove them.
[Video]
[There's a lot of tactical maneuvering to it all. Kain considers what he's saying about the Door. By now he's gone through the introductory information so he knows what that means, at least. Not a rift this time, but a door. Not manikins but dragons.]
They couldn't survive... and nor could we, in such a confined space. But this Door seems... difficult or impossible to control, anyway, so I can't see it as an option either. Unfortunate.
[Video]
[ He could have assumed as much, but it's a confirmation. ]
In fact, there is one god who can control it. Mr. Sorrow taught Mr. Fear how to open it. He has not yet shown any inclination to send beasts back through it.
[Video]
[Kain speaks with pride as he always does when talking about his duty and purpose. So it was back home anyway... a lot had changed.]
Why not? If they know how to open it, what's stopping them from sending us away?
[Video]
[ He can well understand a pride in such service. He -- too well. ]
Hm. Mr. Mello may need to be -- they use us. They gain power from our emotions and regularly alter the environment to produce desired responses. That said, I do not know that any of the gods but Mr. Sorrow actually knows how to send us back. Mr. Fear opened the Door, but I do not know all of what he learned from Mr. Sorrow.
[Video]
[Less so now, with airships and the Red Wings, but even so, that's an important part of their legacy, not to be forgotten.]
It seems someone ought to have a talk with this Sorrow and find out what he knows. Unless that's already been attempted. Though... from what you're saying, and what I've heard, it's probably in the gods' best interest to keep us here.
