[Locked to Jaunt]

[chalicejoker]

...so does this place give anyone else weird yelling urges?

[Yelling to transform, yelling to attack, what is his life now?]

Weird yelling urges? [He's from shounen anime, okay. It's not that weird.]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah. Normally my belt just announces everything, but I'm yelling when I transform, yelling when I attack, pulling random attack names out of thin air...

[It's very unsettling.]

[icy_heavens]

[He'd like to comment on how ridiculous it sounds that Hajime's belt announces everything, but . . . well. Technically, Hitsugaya's sword talks.]

It may be necessary in order to use the abilities we have access to in this place.

[chalicejoker]

[Hey, he thinks the belt is kind of silly, but he's used to that, at least...]

It's just weird, not knowing what's going to come out of my mouth...not to mention probably a problem if I need to be stealthy.

...I'm louder than the belt.

[icy_heavens]

You can't resort to other tactics when you need to be stealthy? [Strategist up in here.]

[professorwolf]

Not me, but then, I don't think a Pillar would have any urge to shout at anything. What are you wanting to shout at?

[chalicejoker]

It's like I can't help myself, and I just want to announce everything. Transformations, attacks...like some kind of cartoon.

[professorwolf]

Oh. Oh. ... Hajime, have you ever watched anime?

[chalicejoker]

Not since I was a kid...

[Lyall, he thinks he knows what you're getting at, and he doesn't like it.]

[professorwolf]

I'm sure you remember that most of the magical children tended to use magical catch-phrases, even if you only watched it as a boy. I'm fairly certain it's something like that, here. I mean, honestly. Have you seen some of these people? It's like they actually stepped out of an anime, themselves.

[flatteries]

...

Er.. you mean you don't experience those usually during combat?

[ Because Inigo's totally done that before, okay. He might not be magical girl material whatsoever, but critical hits in Fire Emblem apparently just needed something to spice them up.. ]

[chalicejoker]

No.

[There's an awkward pause.]

It's usually my belt that says that stuff. And I'm saying some attack names I've never used before on top of that.

[flatteries]

[ Okay, look, Inigo can get the whole shouting out for attacks thing, but there's something in that statement that seems weird to him in turn. And not even just a little bit - he blinks, completely confused. ]

Your belt speaks?! [ A lot of weird things are possible in his world, but this is not one of them. ]

[chalicejoker]

Not to the point it thinks or holds a conversation.

[He knows this is weird, if this is any consolation.]

It just...announces things when I do stuff. Not much. Just transforming, certain attacks...

[flatteries]

Well, that is still.. quite.. er. [ He's trying to think of how he puts this in a way that's not too rude, but he's not that good at being diplomatic unless he tries really hard.. ]

It's quite unlike anything found in my world, I suppose. My belt is quiet no matter what I do, actually.

[abweichend]

...It's pretty annoying.

[Levi REFUSES to 'grasshopper doing doggie paddle' okay. He fucking refuses.

Is this how Eren feels...? He'd fit in here, Levi thinks.]

[chalicejoker]

At least it's not just me.

This had better not stick when we're done...

[abweichend]

[Oh god, even in his infinite Debbie Downerism Levi hadn't even gotten to thinking about that yet...

Levi makes a disgusted noise.]

If it does, they'll get a nice heads up when we're going for their throats...

[The 'remainder' from the Dokis was bad enough... The last thing any of the Travelers need is for the whole god damn group of them to get turned into a bunch of screaming lunatics permanently.]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, unless we tape our mouths shut before doing it.

[Granted, he's pretty sure he'd somehow figure out a way to yell through that...]

[abweichend]

[Levi almost smiles- that may or may not come through in his voice.]

That's a thought.

[rustyhonesty]

So it's... not just me.

[She sounds rather frustrated, this "girl".]

[chalicejoker]

Not at all. If you've got any sort of impressive attack powers, by the sound of things, you're stuck with it, too.

[rustyhonesty]

Great. I've always wanted yell something I'm doing to my enemies before I do it.

[chalicejoker]

If you're lucky, the title's not going to be too stupid.

I've yelled "Flying Mantis Kick of Death" before just kicking something. I can't say I'm proud of that.

[rustyhonesty]

So far I've got Aerial Strike, which is not so bad... but that sounds pretty lame.
