[Mikasa never makes network posts these days, in fact it's like she almost likes to pretend that she's not even here. So uh, today is an extremely special case, apparently, because she's making this.]

So, there's another Jean around now too, not that mine's gone anywhere but this one's ... Different.

[Yes, mine, she's that type who loves repeating that about anything that she consideres as hers, not her problem if anyone hearing it doesn't like her style. Moving on...

Instead of explaining what he's like or what he looks like in her own words, she livestreams for a little while. It begins from when he's still pointing his weapon at her and her asking him who he is in a tone similar to like she could be talking about weather. And then his answer is this even if the words most likely only make sense to anyone from the same world as her or who know things about Titan Hell though some of it is unfamiliar to Mikasa too. Eldian? Also yes, he has a different last name. Weird.

But the point is that he says those things before he attacks her and Mikasa ends the livestream there. Clearly having a normal time here then considering how Jean is usually yelling at anyone who might even accidentally hurt her or whatever else that people shoudn't do to his girlfriend.]

Mght want to be careful if you run into him [warrior jean, that is] and before anyone asks, yes, I'm fine.

There must be three, then. I just met one who comes from an alternate of my own universe. An ally of Voltron. He's much more like the Jean we know, however, so you should be safe interacting with him.

Do you need any help, Mikasa? [Not that you're likely to need it, but he's got to offer.]

[callyourname]

Huh, haven't run into him myself, at least not yet but thanks for the ... heads up. [Or something, what do people call them.]

No, I don't think so but thanks. [and then there's silence for a long time.] Not with fighting against him at least, that I can handle. Not sure what I'll do besides knocking him out if he's going to go around attacking people.

[Not that she knows if he'll even do that to everyone or if people from the Titan Hell are the only ones on his list.]

[vrepit_no]

Jeans seem to like me for some reason. I'll try to talk him down, but if he keeps this up we'll have to find some way to keep him quarantined.

[callyourname]

Well that's good for you then, it's not like he's usually trying to fucking murder me or anyone. [but good for you for Jeans usually liking you then!!!]

[bite_the_hand]

Oh for fuck's- That is two too many Jeans for one glitching Liminal Space!

[vrepit_no]

I suspect he feels the same way.

[bite_the_hand]

I guess they'd all three feel the same way. But I only care about the feelings of the one I got stuck having a stupid emotion-sharing magical Bond with.

[He sounds grumpy and annoyed, but anyone that's paid attention to the way Eren and Jean normally interact can pretty easily pick up on what he actually means. All that bitching was just Eren-speak for him being a little worried about the Jean that he considers a close friend. He can't just admit to being worried about Jean's feelings in public like this, dang it!]

[bite_the_hand]

"What the hell!?"

[At first Eren just sounds annoyed and confused at Mikasa's announcement. Look, he might have come to consider the Jean he's Traveled with as one of his closest friends, but that doesn't mean he wants to deal with another one of him!]

[Then a second later when Mikasa starts the stream to show this Jean pointing his sword at her, Eren's 'voice' becomes completely serious and takes on a dangerous note.]

I'm on my way. [Then "Leitner" moves to attack Mikasa and Eren becomes angry and surprised as well.] Shit, shit! I didn't think that bastard would actually do it! He really is on those traitors' side!

[callyourname]

That's what I'd like to know too.

[Or more like how much changes to him does it mean that he's a warrior but maybe she'll find out. Not that that's her only question, she has many but she's about as bad at asking them as he may be in answering to some of them.]

What? No, he's on their side so you should stay away... [If his goal is the same as the assholes' back home though she knows that he's not .... going to stay away anyway. She's not really going to try stop Eren either, it's not like they can take him anywhere from here and so on. Totally not expecting him to say the being on his way to her direction so soon though but then again not really surprised about it either even after .... Everything. It's such an Eren-like thing to do anyway.] Well, if you want more about being on that side... I asked what he wants and his answer is 'Kill all of you, even if it's the last thing I end up doing.' Seems to really mean that, don't be surprised when he tries that too. [Mikasa sounds as unimpressed as ever or more so if that's even possible. She won't kill him, she just has no problem kicking his ass over a hundred or thousand times.]

[bite_the_hand]

[Everything that's happened doesn't mean he cares any less. The exact nature of his feelings might have changed, but he still cares about her. Always has, always will.]

What's he going to do? Kidnap me again? If the bastards still want me alive he won't even try putting me in The Floor. And if he does try, I've got a few surprises for him.

[callyourname]

He'll try to annoy you with the worst ways he can with things that only happen where he's from... [Have fun with that, spoilers it's not fun at all but what the hell is anyone here supposed to do to things happening in all the different worlds where they come from anyway?] Who knows, maybe he'll try kidnapping, not sure if he realizes that it won't make any sense here but I wouldn't count on that or even to him wanting you to stay alive. [She'd rush to help/save him if he needs that, no question or hesitation about that.] He already saw water and metal out of nowhere but seems like he put his weapons away after that but seems like they're not his only defense.

A few hours later

[vrepit_no]

Jean. Mikasa. Eren. Armin. The version of Jean who calls himself a Warrior has a kill-on-sight policy for all four of you. [His voice is strong and authoritative, but definitively worried.] Like Mikasa said earlier, avoid him at all costs. I got his story, but you're not going to like it.

[rustyhonesty]

Based on what Mikasa told me, I'm not really surprised. Besides, I'm not even sure I want to meet myself anyway.

[Even if he wants to punch him for trying to hurt Mikasa.]

[vrepit_no]

It's probably not a good idea just from a standpoint of interdimensional causality, but regardless. Yeah. Just be careful out there. I'd much rather keep you around, thank you very much. [He cares, okay? An awful lot.] If you ever need backup, you know I'll be there as soon as I can. ...Though Mikasa's probably faster.

[rustyhonesty]

You say that like you believe I'd just die in that encounter. I can defend myself, Shiro.

[Even if he absolutely doesn't mind being protected by Mikasa. He's more than fine with that. Or anyone else either. As long as he could protect them in return when he could.]

[callyourname]

I noticed, somehow not surprised that it's for all of us. [From the fact how fast he tried to kill her which means she'll try to keep an eye on things and stay fast with going to the rescue if the others need her to.]

I got ... a part ... of his story when he tried to make me help with getting out of here [that's a nice way of murder, right?] and saw his weird skills too, though I don't think they're a match for ours.

[As long as they'll at least be ready to defend themselves and not be like they can't because he looks like Jean. Look who is talking, Mikasa]

[vrepit_no]

From the sound of it, those weird skills will fade off the longer he's here. It's from an injection his captors gave him. [There's a tight anger and tension under his tone.] But since they're not here to renew it... Regardless, I think you're right - you're more than a match for him. [So long as he doesn't get the drop on her, but he's not going to bring that up now thank you.]

[callyourname]

Maybe, unless he'll stay around and figure out another way to renew it... [Not sure if that's even possible but less surprising if she thinks it might happen.] I know, but I doubt I'll go meet him again. [ He could hurt her a lot with words, she doesn't really want to go through that or any other things that could follow from it. ] Unless he'll give me no other option but I don't think he will and even then it's ..... better if that won't be me.

[neverfeltthatway]

...Thanks. Anything else we should know about him?

[Shiro doesn't know him very well at all, while simultaneously knowing him in more intimate and vulnerable moments than most people here. It probably isn't surprising that his voice is flat and hard in this situation, stripped of emotion for considering this new - and extremely personal - threat.

...Whether Shiro knows him well enough to be worried about the hint of determination in his voice, and what it might mean, is another question.]

[vrepit_no]

He knows about the different timelines and intersections of dimensions now but he does not care. [This is disturbing to him and the unease is audible.] He's not going to stop just because you're not from his world. He's armed with several blades, his 3DMG is broken, and at this point... He may just be looking to die and take as many people with him as possible. But he's not going after civilians or people from other worlds. Just you. I'm keeping an eye on him, but he's annoyed with me asking questions, so I'm keeping my distance. I'll be there if he starts anything, though, you can count on it.

[bite_the_hand]

I, uh, sort of already fought with him.

[He purposely waited until no one was watching to do it, too. At least he sounds a little bit awkward here, so odds are he already knows that probably wasn't the best decision he's made today.]

I got a little information out of him, but not much. You were probably able to learn more than I was.

[vrepit_no]

[There's a brief moment of silence as, somewhere, Shiro muffles a tired curse. He should have known.]

First things first: Do you need help? Are you hurt long-term? I know your healing factor takes care of a lot, but.

[rustyhonesty]

You're an idiot.

[photonicfighter]

...oh dear. That's... [Good to know? No, not good, that wasn't anything good.] That's helpful to know. Thank you.

How do you want him handled? Give him space, or try to talk him down or contain him?

[callyourname]

[ Technically it's also good to know even when he could be a bad problem! On another note, she's not used to this. ] You're.... welcome.

[ and then the other thing that Mikasa is not used to is anyone asking her how she wants to handle shit... ]

Uh... ... I'm still working on thinking about that? I don't think it's my decision. [Or is it because she found him? She doubts that.] Not that he seems to be the worst problem ever, stopped attacking me when he saw that he has no chance against skills from here but not sure if he'll stay that way.
