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]

[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]

[personal profile] liketeenspirit 2016-10-12 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...I thought you guys hated each other.

[The pieces of his mind, still very shuffled up, have put themselves back together enough for him to express his confusion with his words.]
fortunefavored: newt all over the place ((98))

1/2

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-12 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[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]

2/2

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-12 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[at the mention of how annoying he is, though, Newt rolls his eyes--before, to the camera--]

Awwww, doesn't he say the sweetest things. [draping his arms over Hermann's shoulders again L O L] He seems really grumpy, but don't let him fool you--he totally likes it when I call him super sappy pet names. Right, honeybunches?

[...that statement might be more convincing if you weren't smirking widely when you said it, Newt.

Well, he never really has been known for his pokerface]
fortunefavored: ((86))

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-14 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
[at that disbelief, Newt's ears actually turn red--and he opens his mouth to retort--before there's an elbow in his gut and he lets out an 'oof!' of air as he does, in fact, let go for a moment. But easily, he's back in Hermann's space again]

Is that a promise?

OFF NETWORK, ACTION

[personal profile] fortunefavored 2016-10-14 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[and as soon as that connection is cut, Newt's just going to start laughing uproariously in that high cracking laugh of his, leaning against the table for support]

You--you should see your face right now!

[He blinks, opens his mouth -- and then lets out a breath.]

No, I guess not.

...

...

...you should really take him on a date, though. Seriously, dude, it's been a year.

Just saying. Besides, it kinda sounds like he wants you to.

...

He knows this is all public, right?
