god, he called for rain

[shooteverything]

[ the shatterdome is too loud, smells of seawater and sweat, and half the time k-science won't even let him stay in the lab, one of the few quiet places in the entire base. but it's home, in some ways, because heine has lived here for more than half of his life.

and that reason is also the reason why he's doing the introductions for the new pilot arriving today. she's not new new, but new to this shatterdome. heine has read her file.

now he's in his fatigues, arms crossed as he waits on the tarmac for her to arrive. there's a lot to go through before her jaeger even arrives. ]

Comments

WELP missing an entire word in that last tag, sorry

[shooteverything]

Not really.

[ he knows the name, and some of the rumors, but he doesn't pay too much attention to those. ]

Do you?

[ wait. heine stops picking at his food. ] Are you two related?

no worries. o/ i've probably had a lot of typos too D:

[armored_heart]

[There is the almost instinctive urge to deny knowing or even being related to Magato, but really there's no point. As soon as he found her, and he would because it was an annoying talent of his, there'd be no doubt that they knew each other. Her expression ran the gambit somewhere between resigned, pained, and annoyed.]

Yes.

[Unfortunately was the loud implication of that one syllable. Hopefully he had learned some restraint or, considering that was highly impossible, she wouldn't be judged too harshly due to his actions.]

But I haven't seen him in years.

[At least she'd already carved her way out of his shadow, and the only threat he was to her was the toll his presence took on her sanity.]

TYPO PARTY

[shooteverything]

You'll probably see a lot of him around.

[ heine doesn't like him much, but then again, he doesn't like anyone much. and he hasn't even interacted with magato much yet. ]

What's wrong with him?

the best kind of parties to be honest

[armored_heart]

[Of that she has no doubt, and her disgruntled expression says clearly what she thinks about meeting him again. She has the distinct feeling it's going to take place sooner rather than later.

And while she might not be very fond or close with him, it feels a bit rude to talk ill of Magato.

She puts her utensil down, stacking up her plates and bowls neatly.]

He is very... [How can she describe it?] forceful and unpredictable. He also has many annoying habits.

[Still, she might be biased, so she forces her shoulders to relax.]

If there's nothing else I should know, I can find my way back to my room to unpack.

[shooteverything]

[ heine listens, head resting on one hand. this magato sounds like kind of an asshole, but he... really doesn't have much room to talk. regardless, he finishes up the limited amount of food he got for himself and cleans up as well. ]

Nothing I can think of.

[ he gets up, giving her a short nod in lieu of any actual words. big as the shatterdome is, they'll be frequenting the same places—the training room, canteen, and jaegar hangar. ]

[armored_heart]

[Naoto inclined her head gratefully, not making a move just yet to get up.]

I appreciate that you showed me around.
