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
[c'mon, man.]
video
[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]
video 1/3
video
video 3/3
Now he's thinking about it, lol]
no subject
[let him tell you the tale of the time a woman platonically cohabitated with him. He is still platonically cohabitating, actually.]
I just figured you guys had been through a lot together. It's not exactly hard to tell. I thought you kinda drove each other nuts, but were close because of that anyway.
And besides, it's really annoying when people just assume things like that.
no subject
I mean, I guess that makes sense. [shrug] I just didn't think it was that big of a shock that it also lead to dating.
no subject
[obviously, Ichigo, you're clueless and your only experience with gay people before today was Chizuru
no one's first gay person should be Chizuru
but honestly what serves to normalize it most is...]
...has he seriously not taken you on a single date in a year and a half?
no subject
1/2
If this was the kind of place where you could think about dating but Haven wasn't...how bad would a place like that have to be? It's a sobering thought, for a moment, as Ichigo lets himself imagine some of the ways Hadriel could get worse.]
Man.
no subject
Well, there are plenty of places here to do it, and you guys clearly have a lot of catching up to do. It's like Dr. Gottlieb said, it's none of my business, but he'd better not stand you up or anything!
Don't worry, we'll take care of these dragons quickly so you can go to the park or study dragon guts together or whatever it is you guys are gonna do.
