Character Fandom: shingeki no kyojin ( tentative canon point is c51 )

( armin wonders what the catch is.

see: a place like this is almost incomprehensible in comparison to the world he comes from. but more importantly, it's a place where everything is free. he grew up with careful rationing, he knows how hard it is to sustain a population with the limited amount of farm space and resources that humanity had left. after the walls were breached, he saw human greed and practicality in action. his parents and grandfather were essentially culled to keep the rest of them alive. so a place like this, with no restrictions on food and goods? it's unthinkable.

this kind of prosperity is suspicious in itself. it's starting to feel like they're cows being fattened up for slaughter. and armin has really no doubts that they are.

he retrieves his clothing from the shops but doesn't don the uniform, thinking that it's probably best to keep a low profile for the moment. until he knows how to proceed. the lack of the familiar weight of his 3D gear on his hips is also strange, but necessary. for now, he wanders, and it seems like he's doing so aimlessly when he's carefully watching everything he can, filing away details for later use. )

( despite being kidnapped, and despite the horrifying rumors he's heard around town so far, armin's voice is very calm and polite when he addresses the city. )

Hello. Since I'm new here, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to answer a few questions.

( the journal thing is interesting. it's a combination of a familiar object and technology that he's never dreamed of. he'll study it in-depth, later. )

Are there rules against leaving the village? And has anyone seen what's beyond this place?

( a slight pause, like he's deliberating the next part of this post -- )

Mikasa. Eren. If you're here, let me know.

Within the enclosure. So there's something to keep us in. Is it a wall?

More like a glass dome. You can reach it if you go south to southwest, but there's not much to see. Just a point where you can't go any further.

Has anyone tried? Do we know what's beyond the dome?

Breaking the dome or otherwise trying to escape, yes, though no one's succeeded.

There are other enclosures outside of Luceti. You can also visit other areas if you're willing to work for the Malnosso. I've been to the jungle and Depot 8 myself.

And what kind of work do they expect you to do?

( he's heard some pretty bad things so far. he's not really all that hopeful at the answers that he might receive. )

It depends on what you want to do. Training others how to fight, performing maintenance on vehicles and other things, researching, going into combat areas, there's something for everyone.
