Forgot to establish this in headcanon form but Raleigh developed Drift Induced Epilepsy post-Pitfall. It turned out the strain of piloting solo back when he lost Yancy had put his mind in a fragile state; every time he got back in the cockpit afterwards was a roll of the dice, and luck hadn’t been on his side with that last Drift. As a result, he’s no longer an active duty pilot. He does still contribute to the PPDC by way of training new recruits.
He also still has some difficult with his left arm after Yancy’s death, including trouble with his grip strength and periodic numbness or tingling. He gets by, but he definitely misses the days when it worked like it was supposed to.
“You haven’t heard one nice thing about me from Jake. Ever.”
@pilotsjaegers
“That’s not true. He said you had a nice jawline.” Raleigh wasn’t making that up, either. Jake had said that. He used to think it was sarcasm, but Lambert did have the jawline of a model or a recruitment poster boy.
“You haven’t heard one nice thing about me from Hermann. Ever.” [from Holtz]
@musesthroughtheages (holtzmann)
“I think I’ve heard a few nice things. You just have to read between the lines. He seems to like your work ethic and curiosity.”
That was probably being generous, but if there was one thing Raleigh was good at, it was reading compliments cloaked in insults.
“inside llewyn davis” sentence starters:
“If it was never new and it never gets old, then it’s a folk song.”
“Boy, you were a mess last night.”
“Yeah, I’m sorry. I’m an asshole.”
“Had to open your big mouth, huh, funny boy?”
“Can I leave this cat with you?”
“For Christ’s sake, it’s cold out and I don’t even have a winter coat!”
“All right. Thanks for the coat.”
“Explain the cat.”
“You haven’t heard one nice thing about me from ____. Ever.”
“So, I can’t stay here tonight?”
“Does he have higher function?”
“You gonna plug yourself in somewhere?”
“Shit! Cat!”
“I’m sorry, which? ‘Out’ or ‘fuck you’?”
“Everything you touch turns to shit. You’re like King Midas’s idiot brother.”
“You should just walk around in a giant condom because you are shit.”
“Well, I’d say we should talk about this when you’re less angry, but that would be… when would that be?”
“Yeah, well, what the fuck.”
“Did he say that I need my guitar? Do I need my guitar?”
“Shit, man, I need the money now.”
“Boy, that man goes to a lot of funerals.”
“Please don’t start with the double condoms again.”
“The future? What, like flying cars? Hotels on the moon? Tang?”
“And this is why you’re fucked.”
“You don’t listen. You just spout vitriol.”
“I can tell, this is one of those things where I tell you ‘no’ and you think I’m just asking you to beg more.”
“Sure, move in, don’t mind me. Make yourself at home!”
“Holy Jesus, what is that thing?”
“It’s not my cat, I just didn’t know what to do with it.”
“Well, if you make a living at it, more power to you.”
“Hey, ____, I’m wondering, would that cane fit all the way up your ass, or would a little bit stay sticking out?”
“I don’t see a lot of money here.”
“I don’t know? Because I’m a communist?!”
“There has to be someone in the five boroughs who isn’t pissed at me.”
“I’m tired. I’m so fucking tired. I thought I just needed a night’s sleep, but it’s more than that.”
“I fucking hate folk music!”
“This show is bullshit.”
“Au revoir.”
musesthroughtheages:
“Oh, Hermann? Yeah, definitely 50/50 on his chances.” She leaned back in the chair again, spinning it slowly. “I think he probably wanted to but that stick up his ass kept him from going for it, you know? You gotta let loose to deck a dude in the face.”
“That’s true.” Raleigh glanced over his shoulder at Hermann’s side of the room and chuckled. “Though I’m not so sure about that stick. He looked pretty ready to kill Newt first time I met them.”
IMPORTANT QUESTION: Is Raleigh Jake’s weird adopted uncle or pseudo-brother-in-law?
not uprising compliant means:
Mainverse won’t default to treating the plot of the film as canon.
I can do Uprising compliant but that will be hard since the movie BARELY acknowledged Raleigh existing so I’ll probably just default to post-first-film all the time (unless you have ideas for integrating him).
I am 100% open to talking to characters from the film, though, especially Jake and Amara, please come love me.
((Sequel film only recognizes you exist when it’s convenient, that frees you from having the recognize that the sequel film unless it’s convenient.))
musesthroughtheages:
“You know, I don’t actually remember the details, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t biting,” said Holtzmann thoughtfully. “Someone definitely got a black eye, though, and there was a lot of screaming. Sorry, manly yelling. Probably.”
Raleigh chuckled, still visibly delighted by the story. “That’s great. Thank you for sharing.” He meant that, he really did. Newt had been a bit of an enigma this entire time. Raleigh would take any context he could get.
“Do you think Dr. Gottlieb ever got in a fight at science camp? I feel like it’s...50/50 shot, based on what I know about him.”
loadeddeck:
No pilots.
That thought just kept running in her head over and over.
No pilots, no pilots, no pilots.
It took a moment and it jarred her, his question. The girl had always come across as “frightened” animal at best. But it seemed oddly prominent now. She bowed, instead, taking on a tradition that she had picked up again being in Hong Kong,
“I apologize…for bothering you, Beckett.”
“Hey, hey, hey, no...” Raleigh frowned. “No, you’re not bothering me. Soyon, what’s going on?”
Something had her more rattled than usual. She’d been through a lot, and Raleigh couldn’t blame her for being jumpy. But there was jumpy and then there was cryptic. This was the latter.
“I might not be piloting anymore, but I can still help. I’m not completely gone from the scene.”
musesthroughtheages:
“I mean, it’s not really that hard,” she pointed out, grinning back at him. He didn’t seem so bad for a jock type, but then again, Jaeger pilots did have to be a fun kind of crazy to do what they did. “You can make one with a can of Axe and a lighter, but if you wanna get fancy, you add some tubing. Boom. Done.”
“Probably a good thing I didn’t know that growing up. So, you made a flamethrower...what’d he do?” Raleigh gestured towards Newt’s side of the lab. “Did he bite someone? He looks like a biter.”
loadeddeck:
Soyon looked more distressed by that news that she would have been comfortable with. Whatever this bad feeling was it was getting stronger. She looked up at the ex-pilot, pressing a hand into her eye trying to muster up understanding.
"What if this war isn’t over?“
“...then I’m gonna have to help another way. Soyon, do you know something I don’t?”
It had occurred to him that the Precursors might re-open the Breach if they were pissed enough. That was why they were keeping the PPDC around. He didn’t like to think about it, but if something was happening, he wanted to know.
@loadeddeck (soyon)
“They didn’t tell you?” Raleigh was surprised, but...definitely pleased. He wasn’t used to his life being so private. With the whirlwind of publicity that had surrounded him post-Pitfall, he just assumed everyone knew by now. “I’m not piloting anymore. I...guess the solo Drift messed up my head more than I realized. Pitfall pushed me over the edge. I’m out for good now.”
musesthroughtheages:
“Well, for starters, the counselors didn’t appreciate the use of improvised weaponry, apparently. That was my first flamethrower, and I never did get it back.” She rolled her eyes at the indignity of that slight; never mind that it had been over two decades ago. “Other than that, hate to burst your bubble, but nerd kids fight over pretty much the same things as jock kids.”
A startled, delighted laugh burst out of Raleigh’s lips. “Shit, no kidding? You made a flamethrower at science camp?” She definitely sounded like someone who’d be Newt’s friend. “That’s awesome.”
((As with Newt I might not get to these until tomorrow, but if anyone wants a starter with Raleigh, hit me up.))
