Re: Armin Arlert | Attack On Titan

Armin's feelings on Krieg are... very diverse.

On the one hand, he's seen Krieg with Angel and he's had Krieg help him, so to some degree, he trusts Krieg. Like, he isn't expecting Krieg to just randomly snap outta nowhere and go all serial killer psycho on their asses and eat their babies. And Krieg has also shown himself very dependable in a lot of ways and takes good care of his pokemon.

There is also still a part of him that is wary of Krieg though, because he feels that of the people he's known here, he is among those that could most easily turn dangerous. Not under normal circumstances, but more like... what if something happens to Angel? What if she gets taken by Jack or leaves this world? Could they still control Krieg then? It doesn't help that Athena has gone who he sorta saw as someone who could've subdued him if needed. Krieg is obviously a man of many pecs, so clearly physically restraining him is going to be out for them. Could any of them talk him down if he was in a rage? He just doesn't know, which is why there is part of him that will remain wary of him.

That said. In terms of general day to day interactions -- Armin definitely has stopped with the nervous twitching. Again, he has learned to trust Krieg in normal circumstances. There is sometimes a bit of awkwardness because... Krieg talks Krieg. And it is hard for Armin to understand him sometimes, especially when he doesn't have Pandora as a reference point. So conversations between them can get a bit halting especially when Armin normally talks with many big words. He likes observing Krieg when he is wrassling with all his pokemon. He appreciates that Krieg will do that cause obviously he cannot wrestle with Magellan, but Magellan loves to wrestled with. So enter uncle Krieg!


Also. Super not related. But I know Krieg has one Moby Dick quote in the game, and sometimes I just want Armin to read poke Moby Dick and just be confused with the reference. Like wait. Does Krieg know this book?

Mmmm, that's some delicious teel deer.

What if something happens to Angel, indeed. I know how Armin feels, because I worry about that sometimes, too. NOT THAT I THINK ANYTHING IS GOING TO but this IS rp, where anything can happen, soooo....

On the plus side, Gaige is here, and she may not be a physical powerhouse like Athena but she definitely has a lot of influence over Krieg, so if things turn south, maybe they won't turn super south. Unless she decides to go all Anarchy on everyone and help him raze whole towns to the ground, because this IS Gaige we're talking about here. She could go either way.

In regards to super not related: P L E A S E do! Based on stuff he says in-game I'm 99.9% sure he was some kind of badass space mercenary before Hyperion got to him, and I'm also super sure he was just a really intelligent guy, or at least a very well-read guy, before he got hit with the crazy stick, because he's also got a very expansive vocabulary. The only way I can really RP that is when he texts - he uses capitalizes, punctuates, and spells really well even though his fingers are kind of big and clumsy and the shift key sticks sometimes.

Only the best organic, grass-fed teal deers.

Armin still needs to meet Gaige. Though even once he meets her it will always be a concern in his head just because Krieg is so hard to predict.

And I should then. Armin is stuck in Fuchsia for now anyway, so he might as well start reading thick whale books the size of his head. Though I haven't actually read Moby Dick myself, so fuck, I might be trapping myself in classics hell here, all for the sake of RP.
