.01 [Video]
[Is it any wonder that Commander Handsome is one of the first to perfect the use of the new video equipment? After all, dramatic speeches are so much more effective when he can showcase his cheekbones to their full potential.
Except now he's keeping it short and sweet, preoccupied with other matters, clearly:]
It seems recent events have sparked an...admirable rush of civic pride. I encourage anyone who is interested to see about applying for the Scouting Corps. We can always use Rangers with your sort of passion and drive.
As for everyone else -- continue to serve Union and humanity whole-heartedly.
[A brief salute to end this...clearly-rehearsed speech, and the video flickers off.]

Well I'm out here doin' my job. Where are you at, boss?
By the way you sound like a dumb old man.
no subject
Processing new recruits. Need to separate the wheat from the chaff, as usual. I'm surprised though -- we've only gotten five applications from underaged children pretending to be graduates. That's three down from last season.
You say the sweetest things.

[Levi you barely had a home, shut up. He finally turns the camera up to his face, though looking at a pink Murkrow probably isn't much help.]
There's a couple'a Guard kids I was with during the Mountain Expedition you should check out.
no subject
Erwin nods a bit, shuffling through the huge stack of applications.] Names?
no subject
[He scoffs a little. From the next movements it's obvious he's flying... or trying to, fluttering a few feet away from the tree before gliding to the ground. Bug comes over and nudges the video screen like Erwin is there.]
Eren Jaeger and Jean Kirschtein. They're both shits but they did all right.
no subject
"All right" in Levi-speak is very high praise. Color Erwin impressed.] Hm...ah, found them. Skarmory shifter and Flying Type, right? Interesting...that was a fairly successful mission, if I recall correctly.
no subject
[MUMBLE MUMBLE. Bug wiggles his feelers at Erwin and lets out a gooey hum.]
Yeah, those two. And he ain't flying type so much as he has these dumbass butt wings. It's hilarious.
Successful as in we didn't get eaten by a fuckin' Tyrantrum.
no subject
[Bug is best-loved gooey Pokemon. Gunsmoke, who had been sleeping half-upside-down under the desk, lurches up when he hears the hum, whacking his head against a drawer. Undaunted, he clambers up onto Erwin's lap, making high-pitched whining sounds.]
Butt wings? Is that...well, I'm assuming that's exactly what it sounds like, actually.
I consider that a success. Nobody died, nobody was injured seriously.
no subject
[He snickers, even if it sounds more like a chirp in this form.]
Only my fucking brain. Those assholes are so dumb... but they managed. Their little blond friend too, had some good ideas.
no subject
Mmm...he didn't apply, it seems. Interesting. Any others in your group worth investigating?
no subject
I only went with those three. The expeditions were about over by the time we go back.
no subject
Hm. Well, I'll make a note of it. We need talent and passion. Skill can be taught.
no subject
Yeah. He's scrawny, but he's probably good for something.
