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) ]

video
Yep! We've been dating for at least a year!
[and this is probably the part where he gets shoved off tbh]
video
With a disgusted roll of his eyes.
Yet.
He does not deny it.
...actually, damn his need for precision --
MUTTERED: ]
502 days. Technically. Together more than dating.
[ Technically, because given respective disappearances in Haven, the count would be different for each -- but the total time, as experienced by one or the other, cumulatively... and they've never exactly gone on a date, have they? Words may be inadequate as a rule, but here, they could be more accurate. ]
video
...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]
1/?? here we go
they
they are?
as in
the old guy and the super excitable scarred-up nerd are.....]
2/god even knows
how.
this whole time?? for like a year?! HE HAD NO IDEA]
3/and going strong
4/wheeeeeee
5/6 I think, but I make no promises
6/6 there we go
[The pieces of his mind, still very shuffled up, have put themselves back together enough for him to express his confusion with his words.]
permavideo; 1/2
Well, when were we supposed to? And where? To the suicide convenience store, to the spiral's well, eating more of nothing? Here, the bar? It's ridiculous--
[ Honestly, priorities. It had been enough to survive and then, to recover. They've only in the past three weeks -- well -- ]
no subject
Hermann huffs, his expression pinching. ]
He is the most irritating person I've ever met, yes, but rather, let me ask you this, Mr. Kurosaki -- notwithstanding Newton's penchant for saying too much -- is it really any of your business?
1/2
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
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]
1/2
[ With scathing disbelief. Mostly disbelief. ]
no subject
jabs his elbow back, hard, into Newton's gut. ]
Newton, if you don't shut up, I'll have your tongue!
[ He should probably have better thought out that word choice, but unfortunately, he's too often reduced to the bristling defensive with Newton. ]
no subject
Is that a promise?
no subject
After three attempts, he does. ]
OFF NETWORK, ACTION
You--you should see your face right now!
PERMA OFF NETWORK, ACTION
Hermann stomps over, cane jabbing hard, then released as he grab Newton by his tie.
Snarling. ]
Don't, don't say that sort of obscene thing where anyone can hear! Particularly daft teenagers!
PERMA OFF NETWORK, ACTION

No, I guess not.
...
...
...you should really take him on a date, though. Seriously, dude, it's been a year.
no subject
Certainly, when he was losing his mind to spiral madness -- or perhaps in the actual, literal prison, when people were being tortured --
Hermann looks at Mr. Kurosaki -- but not with fury or indignation really, just a total inability to comprehend the rampant stupidity unfolding. ]
Thank you, Mr. Kurosaki, for your unwelcome contribution, further nosing into our affairs and with an extraordinarily narrow idea of what a relationship should be.
no subject
...
He knows this is all public, right?
no subject
[ Only, he heaves a sigh, yielding. ]
Of course he knows. I'm sure that's 65% of the appeal for him.
no subject
no subject
[ A matter-of-fact statement. Oddly, he doesn't look annoyed about it. Not obviously happy either, or even resigned. ]
