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

...Mantis?

[That sounds like... Shit, Levi doesn't even know what it sounds like. Captain city boy reporting for duty...]

Mine's some kind of bird, a big one.

[The upper echelons of society probably do a little hunting with birds of prey... But they all look the same to Levi. Someone get this asshole some Zoobooks....]

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, a mantis. You know, kind of a big, dangerous bug.

[Even if this particular mantis is not incredibly dangerous, Hajime's found.]

A bird? When it talks, does it talk like a parrot, or does it just talk like a person?

[Hajime is very sad to realize that this is far from the weirdest thing he's ever asked someone.]

[abweichend]

[Levi makes a face... Not that Hajime can see it. He isn't much a fan of bugs, honestly- they're messy- and a giant one? EH...

Then again, Fig isn't exactly a normal bird, so it's probably the same with this thing.]

At first it was just regular squawking... Now it's squawking I can understand.

[Fig can be heard chattering away again- if Hajime can understand her she's going on about the environment and how great the Valence Quest is. If not, well...

IMPORTANT BIRB CHATTERING IT IS.]

[chalicejoker]

Huh, weird. My mantis just talks. Even if he's still not very good at it. But he's learning.

[There's a tiny cry of "learning!" chiming in where Hajime is. It makes more sense than the chattering he's hearing otherwise.]

[abweichend]

Her screeching sounds like words to me now, and it didn't before. [He raises an eyebrow at the echo of 'learning' in the background.] I couldn't hear any others before either, but that was clear enough. I'm not sure what the trigger was there, or it if was just random.

[Trying, Levi. The trigger was actually trying.]

I guess they're supposed to be helping us.

[chalicejoker]

Might be random. I've understood mine from the start, but his vocabulary wasn't very good then. He's picking stuff up fast. I can't swear around him.

[There's a cry of "swear!" from elsewhere.]

Mine's helpful; you've just got to know how to ask him. He gets kind of upset when he can't help.

[abweichend]

[Jesus fuck, don't let him near Levi in that case, bro... Not unless you want the poor thing to pick up about nine hundred ways to call someone a piece of shit...]

Mine isn't that bad. [A pain in the ass, but she's growing on him...] Haven't been able to throw her off, either... So I don't have much choice outside of working with her.

[Fig makes a disgruntled sort of sound ("Why are you always so rude?!) which may sound a little like this. GOOD TIMES....]

[chalicejoker]

You get used to them, I guess.

[abweichend]

Mm. Wouldn't be the first time.

[Back in the world of misery and walls and FUCKING BASEMENTS WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT, Hange is definitely sneezing. He's talking about you, four eyes...]
