Store Worker: Would a “Jean boy” please come to the front desk?
Jean, arriving at the desk: Hello, is there a problem?
Store Worker, pointing to Connie and Sasha: I believe they belong to you?
Connie and Sasha, simultaneously: We got lost.
Jean: I didn’t even bring you guys here with me-
First of all, thank you so much for this ask! I really had so much fun with this one 😆 I appreciate you leaving the character choice up to me because it gave me the chance to use all four of my favorites :) I hope you like it! ❤️
Vets - Stars
“We’ve been over this a million times!” Hange complained.
“Hanj, it’s confusing. Can’t you make an easier way of remembering?” Miche flipped through the packet of pages Hange passed out at the beginning of the meeting.
“It’s already an easy to use acronym.” Hange moved back to the board and pointed at the big ‘S’ written while Erwin rubbed his forehead. “S. What is ‘S’?”
Hange stood at the front and waited for one of the guys to raise their hands and answer. There really wasn’t much to this. It wasn’t a complicated concept, they even made an easy to remember acronym for them to follow, STARS. This most definitely wasn’t as difficult as when they had to learn Erwin’s Long-Distance Enemy Scouting Formation. Why couldn’t they get this?
“Levi.” Hange pointed. “What is ‘S’?”
“Subjugate.” He spoke matter-of-factly.
“No, no. The first ‘S’.” Hange corrected, moving to the board again to point at the first ‘S’ written.
“I don’t need anything other than subjugate.” He narrowed his eyes.
“This is a team formation! Erwin, please.” Hange turned to their commander. “Help me out here.”
“The first ‘S’ is swing, correct?” He frantically flipped through the pages in front of him.
“Nah dude,” Miche interrupted, “I think the second ‘S’ is swing. After we run.”
“Miche, I literally just said the second ‘S’ was subjugate. But great job on remembering ‘R’!” Hange clapped for him. “I will accept swing. Though the correct word is swoop.”
Hange turned back to the board and wrote ‘swoop’ under the first ‘S’. They took a deep breath and turned around.
“Anyone want to try for ‘T’? After we swoop, we…?” Hange waited for an answer. While Erwin continued looking for the answers in his packet, Levi took a sip from his tea. Hange turned to Miche to give him a hint. Moving their first finger in a spinning motion and mouthing ‘turn’ to him. He watched Hange closely to try and get it.
“Spin?”
“It’s a ‘T’ Miche.” Hange rubbed their temples. “It’s STARS, not SSARS.”
“I’m sorry, Hanj. I told you it was confusing for me.”
“I know. I know. Okay, let’s try this again.” Hange put the marker down and faced the group.
“Why do we need this method again?” Levi asked. “We already know how to kill titans.”
“This method has been tested and proven to increase support within a team when it comes to titan kills. We need to focus more on team kills and less on individual kills.” Hange explained. “My hope is to eventually use this method to capture a titan safely without any risks or fatalities.”
“Turn!” Erwin shouted and Hange’s eyes widened with excitement.
“That’s right!” Hange turned to the board and wrote turn under the ‘T’. “Swoop! Turn! What’s next?”
“Announce!” Erwin added. And Hange narrowed their eyes.
“Are you just reading from the packet I gave you?” Their voice became low and threatening. Erwin swallowed hard.
“No.” He closed the packet slowly.
“Alright!” Hange turned to the board and wrote announce under the ‘A’. “Swoop! Turn! Announce! What’s ‘R’? Miche!”
Miche jumped back in his chair, looking around the room nervously.
“Why are you picking on me?” He put his hand on his chest.
“Because you guessed it earlier, you idiot.” Levi stared at him.
“Ah, right! Thanks, little man.” Miche let out a sigh of relief and leaned forward, pretending to speak into a microphone. “The correct answer is ‘what is run?’”
“Great job!” Hange turned to the board again, writing run under ‘R’. “And finally, the last one, Levi?”
“Subjugate.”
“Correct!” Hange didn’t even turn around from the board. They wrote subjugate under the last ‘S’ and turned to face the men. “Swoop! Turn! Announce! Run! Subjugate! Great job guys! I really think we’re getting it.”
Hange looked at them and Miche and Erwin high fived. Hange knew that with a bit more practice, they would be able to use this technique in their sleep. They grabbed the eraser and erased the words under the letters.
“Again!” Hange leaned over the table, resting their hands on the edge and everyone groaned.
