[ this. what the hell was this? this wasn't like home. it wasn't like anything. it wasn't even like hell. hell...he'd have a lot more to deal with ]

[ Levi was quiet for the longest time as he lay in his cell, just looking up at the ceiling. all those years during his stupid youth had somehow caught up with him and now... now he was paying for it. and this wasn't even the way he thought he would be paying for it. he thought he'd have a one way ticked to the electric chair after how that trial went.

Levi remembered how he stayed completely quiet during the trial. what was there even to say? nothing, of course. he just accepted it and also accepted the fact that he was probably going to get the death penalty. but he didn't. they went soft on him. the bastards.

now, he was just staring at the ceiling. he had opened his mouth to tell the crying girl across from him to shut-up, but then closed it. once the cells were open, Levi stood at the door for the longest time. his expression was, well, the same as usual. vague and annoyed, even looking slightly bored. he walked past others, not even interested in speaking to them ]

...

[ now, he was standing at the door to go outside. snow, just like home. was he even allowed to go outside? he didn't know and he didn't want to risk it. so he continued to stand at the door, watching others as they were outside ]

[All Eren sees is the back of a really short guy's head. He might even be younger than Eren, if not by much. Whoever he is, he's in the way, so he doesn't bother keeping the irritation out of his voice when he steps beside him.]

Are you going to go outside, or what?

[Surprise, bitch.]

[captainapathetic]

[ already being a brat, tsk. oh? you're wanting him to move? i don't think ge can hear you from all the way up there. you might want to speak up ]

...

[dacnomania]

I said move.

[sighing, he walks right past him, but he doesn't bother to sidestep him and ends up bumping his shoulder.]

Creepy...

[He stops at the door, ready to head out.]

[captainapathetic]

[ Levi slams his foot down on the other's foot. he doesn't even look at him as he's looking outside ]

Watch your mouth.

[ he pushes past the other now, going outside ]

[dacnomania]

[Eren bites back a hiss, ready to beat the shit out of him. It's not like he had anything against him personally, not until he went and crushed his foot. He can't just back down from that. But that voice? He knows that voice. How could he not know that voice?]

W-wait!

[Without thinking, he reaches out for Levi's sleeve.]

[jakotsu]

Oooh, it's really snowed a lot tonight. How pretty... I could live without the chill though.

[ You don't know this dude. He also doesn't know you. But he does not care, he will start talking to you as if you were friends while looking at you a little too curiously. ]

[captainapathetic]

[ Levi glances over at him after he's stopped talking, noticing that he's still looking at him. as if he wants him to say something back. he inhales deeply though his nose, raising his chin as he's looking outside. finally, he makes a noise ]

Hm.

[jakotsu]

[ What a profound reply. Jakotsu isn't going to be stopped by that. ]

Not the talkative kind? Figures, with that frown you have. What a pity, your face otherwise is really pretty...

[captainapathetic]

It's my natural look.

What do you want? Do you want me to tell you my past so we can be best friends here? [ he looks over at the other now ]

[jakotsu]

Well, if you put it like that...

[ Jakotsu puts on an exaggeratedly thoughtful look for a second. ]

Is your past any good? Otherwise that sounds kind of boring.

[badwolvesatbay]

[She looks at him looking at the snow before making her way over.]

You...wannaplay? [She's not good with new people so she might talk a little fast, here.]

[captainapathetic]

...Excuse me? [ his eyes flick over to her. how old did she honestly think he was?? ]

[badwolvesatbay]

[She points.]

In the snow. [She fiddles with her fingers.] It's a lot of fun!

[captainapathetic]

What are you so nervous about? [ yeah, he'll address it. so what ]

[badwolvesatbay]

[She won't come out and say he looks scary until he does something scary.]

Meeting people makes me pretty nervous. [She kind of chuckles at herself.] But doing something fun makes it easier.

[If Takaya was going to be stuck in this whacked place, he’d be damned if he wasn’t going to make it a little more like home. Since the prison offered so much freedom, he took full advantage of it and surveyed the grounds to see if—maybe—there was ample room to play baseball, or even catch. He wasn’t going to slack off because of his situation.

After a while, because of the cold, he headed back inside—but when he opened the door to enter, he nearly bumped into some short kid who was in the way.]

Whoa—didn't expect anyone to be standing there.

[captainapathetic]

Excuse you. [ he glances to the other, but doesn't move or do anything else ]

[catcherinthelie]

[Wait a second--wasn't this guy one of his blockmates? The scary-looking one who'd been just...standing there in his jail cell earlier that morning. Yeesh. Didn't want to mess with this one.]

Right...my bad. Mind lettin' me by?

[captainapathetic]

[ he's going to push the doors open, heading outside now. what a brat. bossing people around... ]

[catcherinthelie]

[Yep, there's definitely something up with the short guy. Takaya stands to the side and waits for the guy to get out of the way before heading back inside, and mutters to himself.]

Wonder if everyone else is as weird as him.

[bystandering]

Are you okay, sir?

[She's just going to stand a little off to the side looking a little bit worried.]

[captainapathetic]

Yes, I'm fine.

[ he doesn't turn or anything, just looking out the little window in the door ]

[bystandering]

[Well. That's awkward.]

The snow is nice.

[captainapathetic]

It was snowing when I left my home as well.

[bystandering]

It was?
