Jean here. I can't answer my phone right now so leave a message.
code creditIt shouldn't be a problem if you're just texting one or two people at the same time. I've never run into problems.
That's weird. Well, as long as he's not hurt or destroying things...? But I haven't heard of anyone doing that.
No, I'm not going to try.

No, I'm not going to try.
I'm going to keep doing it.
[ And if you complain he'll sign his name BIGGER. ]
He isn't hurting anyone. Look!
[ A second picture. This time, Marco is ruffling Porco's 'hair', and Porco seems annoyed that Marco is doing it, swatting at his arm. ]
C'mon, you don't want to try it a little?

You'll win favor points with Levi, at least. But it's not like I can stop you. But I won't sign mine ever.
[He sees no point in complaining, at least.]
No. I could probably give you a forest green flaming hair, though.

oh, that's right, Captain Levi is here. I still haven't introduced myself to him...
Why would I want that?!

I at least mentioned you were here, when we talked in training.
[Except it wasn't training, it was just Jean falling asleep. Whoops.]
Why not? I could be a fun idea for Armin's project.

I'll get Mikasa to let me dye your hair purple, then, if you do that to me before Armin takes pictures.
Oh! You're training over him? Learned any super special skills?

You wouldn't need to. I can shapeshift my hair color... though that's about the only thing I know how to do with that skill.
Well, I'm a lot faster than I used to be, with the gear. We mostly focus on the gear anyway. But I have managed to pick up some tricks, too.
Sometimes it's both him and Mikasa teaching me at the same time. Which I affectionately call hell days. It's tough being up against both of them. And I mean against, because a lot of the training is dodging them with the gear.

Shapeshifting and dyeing your hair permanently are two different threats, you know.
Faster? Wow! You were already so fast, the only person who was quicker was Mikasa. You'll have to show me when we go take on a quest, if we have time.
Wow... training against Captain Levi and Mikasa, you really have improved! I'm so proud!

What if we just leave each other's hair alone. And figure out what's going on with Galliard's sometime. Is he even aware of it?
[Jean can never understand how Marco said praises like that with a straight face. Sure, it was easier on text, even, but he did that even face to face.
And it feels good, it's silly, but he's smiling at his phone.]
I'll definitely show you at some point. Mikasa's still definitely faster, of course. Levi, too, but that doesn't come as a surprise.
Apparently they're related. Not closely, but they have the same surname. The more you know.

He doesn't seem to be. Just now he told me not to mess with his hair. And before, when I mentioned it to him, he thought I was making a joke.
They're related?! Oh wow, I wouldn't have expected that... Still, they're both very powerful. They call Levi humanity's strongest - but you know that already.

Show him the selfie, maybe that will make him believe. Or put a mirror in front of him.
Yeah, I'm well aware.
They do have some similarities, too, but it was still surprising to hear. Not that I've asked about it from either of them, since it's not that important.

I should buuuut it's also kind of funny that he doesn't realize it. And if it's not hurting him...
I wonder how distantly they are related. If they knew each other at all I'm sure you'd know by now, so it must be very far apart.
Still! That means I'm going to have a high expectation of your skills, now. :)

He'll realize it one day and ask why you never told him.
I'll try not to show off too much.
Maybe I'll teach you a thing or two, too. Might come in handy.

I'm sure I'll figure out a way to make it up to him.
No, no, show off! Are you telling me you've matured so much you won't do backflips for show anymore? I'm teasing, by the way.
Please! Nothing too hard, though. You know I'm not as fast as Mikasa or you.
[ Marco was good at using the ODM, especially in maneuvering, but his big skill - assessment - was one he shared with Jean and wasn't as good at. He knew a lot of it had to do with his ability to work with various teams. It'd been why they'd even given him command of a temporary squad at all, despite there being six other higher ranked candidates. ]

I did say 'too much' didn't I? I still plan on showing off.
I know. But I do have some that work with your style more.

Well, now I'm definitely curious to see what you think works with the way I use ODM. We should have a proper practice session at some point!
Hm... It's too bad we don't have Titan targets here. And I wouldn't want to ask anybody who did have a titan form to let us practice on them :(

We can make similar practice dummies we had in trainee corps. It wouldn't be too hard.
But don't go wishing for titans. There's enough monsters around without then showing up.

Don't worry, the last thing I want is Titans showing up here. It sounds like the segments are dangerous enough without them roaming around!
Practice dummies might be a good idea, though.

Ha. Marco said that too.
Don't worry. I'll make sure there are a few photos of myself to throw in as well. I'm not sure who would take them, though. Are you any good with a camera?

I mean, we ended up fighting a giant sentient house once. And then there were frost giants and giant worms. Plenty of big things to worry about, even.
It's not my area of expertise, but I can see what I come up with.

Yeah, a house that moves on its own and tries to eat you. It even had arms. And a tongue made of rug.
I can't make this shit up. Eren, Armin and Reiner all experienced the same thing.

That sounds... terrifying. And yet I kind of want to see one. How did you end up 'killing' it?
With a lot of fire. We had three summer users, after all.
Reiner had his titan, but even that proved to break because of the dark energy affecting our abilities. But he manages to keep the house still for us to fry it.

We just want to make sure you don't exclude yourself.
I think so. At least I've improved from when I first discovered what they are.
