Eren yells a lot and no one is surprised (filtered from Rose)

What the shit was that!? I know we end up in overlays that have a lot in common with us, but that was too close! The asshole that double-crossed my overlay and his band-mates was too much like that backstabbing bastard Reiner! The people he ran off with were just like the other two traitors we had to deal with back at the Walls too!

And why was our band named Basement Dilemma!? Basement Dilemma! Is what my old man did going to start messing with me even when I'm Infiltrating now!?

Has anyone had an overlay's life be that close to their own before!? That was exactly the life I probably would've had if I was born into a normal world instead of that Titan-infested hellhole of a cage!

Unfortunately, no.


Let's not even talk about your crush at Mikasa being similar to hers at you. You idiot couple...


[The insult is said more as a tease than an actual insult, though he is salty for needing to experience this again but the other way around. Geez you two.]

[bite_the_hand]

[He lets out a wordless shout of frustration. Although that "idiot couple" comment makes him splutter a bit before he quickly shuts up. Wow is he embarrassed by that, and frustrated that he can't think of a good response fast enough to give a good comeback. ...He also feels just a little guilty, too, what with getting a first-hand experience of what he accidentally put Mikasa through.]

[But then Jean and Korra start joking around and Jean can probably tell through the Bond that Eren's having more and more trouble holding back a laugh. Then Korra makes that comment about the girl in that group calling her album Crystal Clear because she's that done with them and nope, he can't hold it in anymore. He doesn't even think to turn the livestream off so please enjoy the sound of Eren laughing his butt off instead.]

[Also, hey, what a great opportunity for "revenge". Once he can catch his breath he speaks up again.] Wow, who's supposed to be the "idiot couple" here again?

[rustyhonesty]

[Ack! There's a wave of embarrassed coming to Eren from Jean's side of the bond, but it's all in good amusement? It's not like he's mad or anything.]

Okay, I admit, I deserved that.

[Look, he can admit that. He's mature.

But on a more serious scale.]

About what you said. None of the overlays for me so far have been close to home. None of my overlays' friends, family, rivals or enemies have appeared familiar. I'm mostly drawn to familiar travelers I've gotten to know here.

Though I did sort of feel personally attacked by having an overlay named Markos.

[Especially since he was a son of Hades.]

Public -> Private

[bite_the_hand]

[Eren's at least quick to turn serious again when the conversation does.] That's weird. I wonder what the difference is?

[He switches the conversation to a private one at this point.]

Hey, uh, we never really talked about that last time. So if you feel like you need to...?

and private it will remain

[rustyhonesty]

Your guess is as good as mine.

[He'll also switch to private from now.]

It's-- I'd be lying if I said it's fine, because it really isn't. It wasn't enough that my name was that, but I had to be obsessed about the world of the dead. Be the son of the God of the damn Underworld.

A new way to rip my wounds open on the subject.
