VIDEO
Name: eren jaeger
Date: juril 13th
Format: video
[ Around a fire in the dark of night, a few tents and the movement of witches, entertainment and the like of volunteers behind them, Eren sits outside of the city wall with company as the feed starts, Lex sitting next to him with Dogmeat sprawled out a few inches away. ]
Anyone with any intention of walking closer to Wilder’s Edge, don’t go alone and don’t go unprepared to fight.
We ran into something. Humanoid, with a creepy laugh. It mimicked our faces, our movements, and it was not playing around.
[ The flex of her talons, the little grit of her monster-sharp teeth, probably makes it clear exactly what Lex thinks about that. Shoulder to shoulder, Eren’s head dips, sideways to rest his cheek to the top of her head— spontaneous as the dragon sinks half his face into her curly, furry, feathery hair. There’s no resistance; if anything, the chimera leans into it. ]
Fighting that thing alone wouldn’t go well. It wasn’t infected, as far as we could tell. The Cwyld isn’t the only danger here.
[ Eren confirms with a nod that comes with wetting his lips, only turning his face to direct himself to the camera again else he’d muffle his words. His own ink-dipped hands and claws hold somewhere around her back, under her opposite arm and stretching out the wide tears at the back of his ruined, bloodied shirt and closed nape wound that had been healed by magic hands. he points to his neck. ]
It looked predatory. And it probably won’t back off unless you take it down, or trap it first. The veterans don’t know what to tell us.
[ Eren also doesn’t spend too much time with video feeds, and presses. buttons, like a grandpa. He presses all the damn buttons (that probably fuck up configurations plenty, he mutters fucking because technology is hard), until a photo is tagged to the post. A lot of photos, most of them blurry messes until one actually shows a body, of the mimic in question. A black sleek face, no features to show for except for a broken mask, long limbs, and teeth like needles behind the fissures. Its neck bares a shredded hole and its middle is spilled.
Dryly: ] We didn’t get a before picture.

[ She can't help her slight frown when he mentions asking the Coven, but Lex doesn't say anything else to it; she just turns her head and busies herself with her dog. ]
Video
[He picks up on that frown and pauses. Yeah, it's not hard to tell Lex doesn't like the Coven for some reason. Elliot isn't really the argumentative type, so he pauses and says in a measured voice]
...We can't rule either option out right now until we know more. If it's local, then we can try make notes of what areas of the Wilde they're in and what precautions to take. If they're a cryptid, we're in more trouble because if those are appearing, then it could appear anywhere in this world.
Right now, the Coven is the best option we have for information.
Video
there’s a lot of room here for suspicion. even eren feels that something isn’t right the more they dig up information. ]
. . . My grandma. [ he won’t say her name on here. they’ve already made an alarm. ] My grandma’s probably worried about me.
[ he has many, in particular. the entire elderly monster populous, in fact, so that’s enough not to give a huge lead. but elliot knows. it’s etched into eren’s eyes. ]
If you can visit her before I can, she’ll be calmer.
[ if they want answers, it’s best they get them from more than one place. you can catch the lie. ] Can you do that?
Video
Oh yeah...
[His eyes light up and he nods. Whatever secret message that Eren's trying to get through, Elliot picks up on it. Right, there's another source right there]
Yeah, I can do that. [And then he'll give a smile, light and teasing] I wonder if she has any cute stories about you...
Video
I hope the cute stories are going to be shared, if you hear any.
Video
A friend of Eren's is a friend of mine.
Video
might as well keep up the act so it doesn’t get suspicious. eren has won Oscar for best actor three times in a row. his brows pinch, and while his cheeks are bright with the black-crimson shade of his scales for another reason entirely, he takes up the chance to bury his face along the chimera’s singed hair, grunting: ]
You’ll embarrass me.
Video
Heehee, sorry. If it helps, I have a feeling you'll be able to get back at me soon.
[What does that mean? Who knows]
Be careful out there, I'll do what I can on my end. Though don't worry if you two decide to take some extra time to get back~ ♫
[that sure was a bit of a teasing sing-song tone to the last part of his statement. Someone's noticed how touchy these two are. Probably helps being one of Eren's bonds too.]
Video
he’s all sorts of fluffy and floaty in his belly anyway, definitely not hard at all for another bonded to notice how goddamn twitterpated he is. alas, he’s a working man, and lex, a working woman. ]
Got things to do.
[ but he’s in perfect condition to be rubbed all over, cheek to hair. ]
Video
You never know what you'll run into at here.
[ Or what that might lead to. In this case... Well, Lex isn't complaining. ]
Video
Aha...right.
Well, later! I'll let you know what I find out!
[SIGNS OFF]
