[ Jean's normally spiky/fluffy haircut is even spikier today, if that's possible. The culprit? His baby mareep, which has decided to perch itself on his fluffy head. Babies are tiny, ok. And also full of static. ]

So the egg hatched the other day. You wouldn't believe what a pain it is to keep an electric-type from friggin' waking you up all the time when you've got feathers. This dumb mareep won't stop messing with my wings! But ma' likes her a lot, I guess, so we've been keeping her at home. Personally, I think she just wants free wool. (Don't let her know I said that.)

Anyway I guess I'll add my two cents in saying this tournament stuff is bullshit. But it beats getting attacked by weird machines so whatever, y'know? As long as they don't pull that shit again, who cares?

[ Pause............ ]

Oh, and I joined the Rangers, I guess. You can blame friggin' Eren and his dumb face. I know this shit ain't my journal or whatever but I've been kinda busy so I figured I owed some of you guys an update.

Still sucks that I couldn't get into the Swords, though.

Well, you probably didn't write the generic answers for your reasons right? You know- "I wanna serve Union and humanity" or "I wanna see the world outside the city!" or "I've always dreamed of being a Ranger!". I bet they get hundreds of applications saying that sorta stuff- so yours will definitely stand out!

Oh, yeah. I guess they might... be kinda pissed about what I wrote, huh...

[ Well, fuck. Maybe stuff like "I wanna make sure my asshole friend doesn't fucking kill himself" would look bad on an application... y'think, Jean? ]

Pissed...? [Amused he figured, but pissed?]

Why? What'd you write instead?

The truth, duh. That the Rangers were super friggin' dangerous and that I had no intention of 'dying for the right thing' when I could survive it.

- What?!

Jean, are you stupid?! You don't tell 'em that!

They should damn well know! I don't wanna bullshit my application then have everybody get all pissed at me later when I can't remember any of what I put in!

[ Why do you think he can't get into the Sword of the Savior... ]

I'm not saying you had to lie! But seriously Jean, there's such a thing as being too truthful too! Don't you have a brain to mouth filter?!

[Oh yeah. this is explaining a lot]

Nope, not really.

....Well, at least you're honest about that.

Maybe they'll miss it...[said in a tone that states he doesn't even believe it since man, they sure didn't miss a beat on his application]

I'm honest about everything!

[ Which is true. And it's unfortunately too late for Jean, as Erwin has already called him out... we'll see how that goes. ]

Yeah, I got that!

Just hope your over honesty didn't shoot you in the foot! [Not that I want you on my team anyway baka]

Ah, the Rangers need all the help they can get, anyway. And it's not like I don't got the skills! I've actually been in the Guard for a while, y'know.

[ Really, he's the ideal candidate if it weren't for his personality. ]

I guess so...I'm sure you got more experience than I do. And it sounds you've been an Enlightened for longer too.

[Still that personality is a huge downside...]

Since I was born, basically.

[ Really, he's got the poke-thing down-pat. ]

Yeah, that's way longer than me.

[He also thinks that explains a lot about your prick attitude, but he knows to bite his tongue there]

[ You would be right on the nose there, Sora. ]

Oh yeah? How'd you figure out you were Enlightened?

Uh....

[A-AWKWARD STORY]

Well, I sorta...got freaked out once and...blew up some Zubats with my mind.

Holy shit! Are you like, Psychic-type or something?! That's nuts!

Y-yeah, Psychic and Flying-type...

But don't worry! I got better control of the psychic part than I used to!

That's pretty damn freaky though, jeez. So you can blow stuff up with your mind?

[Thankfully, he's not all that phased by being called freaky so he just shrugs]

Sometimes! It's based on my emotions. So depending on how I'm feeling, sometimes I can blow stuff up, other times I can crush them from their own weight and...sometimes I just splash them with water. And I think I can do more, I haven't fought with every emotion yet.

But I know it's really annoying when the splashing happens.

Damn, you psychic types must have it rough, that sounds like something I'd abuse it like every day.

[ Ah, that Jean-level honesty... ]

Edited 2014-02-25 05:50 (UTC)

You get used to it after awhile...

...Wait, are you saying you'd blow up stuff every day? How much stuff do you want to blow up??

Nah, I'd just do it for fun.

Oh...

[That's...worrying!]

Afraid nothing happens when I'm happy. I checked.
