[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.]

[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!

[bite_the_hand]

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

[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.]

[vrepit_no]

I suspect he feels the same way.

[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.

[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.

[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!]

[vrepit_no]

[Yeah, Shiro's spent a lot of time with Keith. He knows exactly what those words mean.]

I'd like to have someone check in on him from time to time. Can I count on you to do that while I make sure people stay out of the portals?

[See? Have an easy out for saving face.]

[bite_the_hand]

[There's the mental equivalent of a (feigned) eye-roll.]

I guess I have to if it's a request from my captain.

[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.

[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]

I almost hope he does try. I'm not as easy to kidnap as he expects me to be. [Eren would be quite happy to have a chance to prove it. Especially to himself.]

Elementalism might not surprise him, but I've learned a lot more than just that. I even have a Red spell I learned just to counter Warrior assholes like him!

[vrepit_no]

[ Please excuse him while he has A Moment. He-still-can't-believe-he's-been-accepted-as-a-Scout-let-alone-as-a-captain-all-these-kids-are-so-great-and-he-wants-to-take-care-of-all-of-them-ahhhhhhhhhhh ....Okay, better now. ]

Good man. I knew I could count on you. Let me know if you think you could use backup.

[vrepit_no]

[ There's a brief, startled silence. Then he speaks up more quietly. ]

Mikasa. That's not what I meant, and I think you know that. Do you want to come talk to me for a little bit?

[bite_the_hand]

Yes, Sir! [He gives that response with the tone and weight that only comes from someone with the military training to back it up. That said, he's also stopped pretending to be annoyed.]

[callyourname]

Where would he even take you here? [ not a real question, kidnapping here sounds like nonsense to her especially from someone new... But sure let him try.]

I didn't mean it wouldn't surprise him... Good, he'll probably be a lot less bored around you [Maybe she could bore that warrior to death with her silent no reaction at all style.] and this is probably where I say that don't let his shit enrage you too much and don't do anything stupid. [and then ask herself when do those lines ever work.]

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.]

[vrepit_no]

No, I don't believe you'd die. You have a lot of firepower he doesn't have a clue about; you're older, stronger, smarter, and faster. But that doesn't mean that you need to go into battle alone.

[Don't be him, Jean.]

[rustyhonesty]

If I see him, I'll teleport away. He won't have time to attack that.

[vrepit_no]

Good strategy! You'll be fine. I know you will.
