Special Chapter: Lance Corporal Levi

[springcleaning]

[When Levi comes to, he's sopping wet and covered in slimy bile. The last thing he remembers is being swallowed by a Titan. Did it vomit him out before he'd been digested? He shuddered at the thought. He'd rather be dead, than...]

Shit.

[He gags a little, pushing his hands against the grass in front of the school until they're dry enough to get the slop off his face, before looking around.]

[It was nothing like where they had been fighting, but he couldn't be sure of that, with how Titans could move, but... Something felt wrong. Levi looks down at himself, seeing his 3D Maneuver Gear was gone as well. He was vulnerable, he couldn't stay outside.]

[So he goes into the school building, surprised to find it recently used, and looks for somewhere he can clean off.]

Comments

[springcleaning]

Sounds like some kind of Interior bullshit.

[Don't mind him, he doesn't like touching anybody.]

[strawberrytart]

What's this "Interior" you keep talking about?

[springcleaning]

Wall Sina, the Interior. It's where all the rich fucks live and leave everyone in the outer walls to starve to death.

[strawberrytart]

I was never rich. We don't really have anything like walls either. I've never heard of Wall Sina, anyway. That sounds like something horrible..

[springcleaning]

[He just shrugs, following along when he's cleaned off, if anything for the tea she promised.]

I guess this really isn't where I thought.

[strawberrytart]

I guess we really are all from different times. I didn't really pay attention to history, so you could be in the future or past, huh?

[ She looks a little curious. ]

I died in 2010, what year did you die in?

[ It hasn't occurred to her that he hasn't gotten the spiel yet.. She turns to open the door to a home ec classroom. ]

[springcleaning]

... 853.

[He looked at her in disbelief.]

2010? That's... fucking insane.

[strawberrytart]

Eh!? Seriously!? That's so long ago!

[ Ichigo looks pretty dramatically shocked too. ]

You're right out of history!

[springcleaning]

I guess, if you're really from fucking 2010...

Shit's insane.

[strawberrytart]

That'd explain why you don't know about cake though. The world isn't separated by a wall anymore, so there's no interior or exterior or anything like that. Especially this place, it just kind of loops..

[springcleaning]

And there's no Titans?

[strawberrytart]

What are Titans?

[springcleaning]

Giants. Biggest one's fucking 60m tall.

They snatch up humans and eat them alive.

[strawberrytart]

I think I would remember if that really happened in history, even if I was bad at it. Forgetting giants seems a little excessive... 853AD or BC?

[ Maybe they started a new era in the future! ]

[springcleaning]

Just 853. I don't know what that shit means.

[strawberrytart]

It's like... I guess numbers used to count down, then they started counting up after a certain point. So BC goes like 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Then I don't know what 0 is. Then AD goes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

[ That's how she understands it anyway. ]

[springcleaning]

That sounds fucking retarded. Numbers are supposed to get bigger.

[strawberrytart]

Well they do in my time but apparently they used to go backward!

[ She's not very good at most of her classes that aren't baking tbh ]

[springcleaning]

Shit's insane.

[He crosses his arms.]

Is there gonna be fucking tea or not? And cake, or whatever.

[strawberrytart]

Oh! Yes!

[ She got distracted. She's going to turn around and start leading him down a hall already.. ]

Do you want to eat in a classroom or the cafeteria or a dorm room?

[springcleaning]

Let's go to the mess.

[Er, the cafeteria. That's where you're meant to eat, anyway, it'd be proper.]

[He'll just drag along behind where ever she leads.]

[strawberrytart]

The mess?

[ That's not the classroom or dorms so she's assuming it's another word for the cafe. ]

Okay! I'll meet you there in about 10 minutes okay? I've got to go get some of the cake I made, unless you have extra meal tickets.

[springcleaning]

Fine, whatever.

[He watches her go, before making sure he's clean one more time and following directions posted around to find the cafeteria. It's... huge. He's been in huge ornate rooms before, but this feels strange. He just... sits at an empty table and continues looking around. It's too brightly lit and smells... so clean.]

[He could get used to it.]

[strawberrytart]

[ After about 12 minutes, Ichigo comes over with two plates of strawberry cheesecake with both filling made from cream cheese and from strawberry cream cheese, the bottom and sides with ground chocolate graham crackers and butter, and the top with a special strawberry puree infused with gelatin to make sure that it stayed in place! With bits of white chocolate sprinkled on top and a strawberry on the side of course, since the plate would look lonely without it and Ichigo doesn't have time to go make sauce so that she can decorate the plates otherwise.

For a first experience with sweets, this is probably going to spoil the hell out of him since Ichigo is, without a doubt, a professional at this point. ]

It's strawberry cheesecake entremet, I hope you like it! It's just what I had on hand already or I could make just about anything you like.

[springcleaning]

[Twelve minutes exactly? Levi's waiting in a chair across the cafeteria, tipped back on its back legs as he watches her come back in... and promptly stares at the brightly colored food she's set in front of him.]

Why the fuck is it pink?
