A simple meme. Post a comment describing a hypothetical meeting between the Save the Earth AU version of your character (IE the one in this game) and the original version (IE the one straight out of the TV show/book/game.) either with a description of their opinions or with an actually written out conversion.

Also, if you like, you can continue by way of tagging other people's posts, and threading out an encounter between your StE AU and their Original Flavor version. Or between your your Original Flavor and their StE AU.

Well, you're obviously way younger. And you're not as tall. So yeah, tiny Bertl. How old are you, fifteen? Seventeen, at most?

[ Still cute at sixteen, daw. ]

[toobig]

Uhm... sixteen? Almost seventeen I guess...

[Youre kind of throwing him for a loop here, Ryan-san...]

[schild]

Wow, sixteen... That's way cute.

[ Tiny boyfriend... Bertholdt would be so embarrassed if he knew. ]

So what's Bertl like at sixteen?

[toobig]

Uh... You mean him, right? Not... me...

[schild]

You're not so different, right?

[toobig]

He's... We're not the same.

[schild]

I remember you, though.

[ Ryan smiles fondly. ]

It's a close thing.

[toobig]

[Bertholdt looks unbearably sad, then.]

You do?

[schild]

Yeah. I remember you being super important to me. Or, uh, Reiner, I guess.

[ Don't be sad, little guy... ]

[toobig]

Oh.

Well, at least you remember. I guess...

[schild]

O-oh.... He forgot? How? You've... been the most constant thing in all of my echoes.

[toobig]

Reiner... forgets a lot of things.

He only remembers being a soldier.

He doesn't remember me or anything we've done.

Not until they forced his hand... but even then, he's struggling.

[Why bother lying to his best friend's reincarnation? As he speaks, his voice just gets softer and sadder.]

[schild]

[ This is... really upsetting.....!!! ]

But he cares about you... so much. How could he...?

[toobig]

He... wanted to forget.

[schild]

That can't be right. He wouldn't want to forget you.

[toobig]

No.

But he wanted to forget what I did.

[schild]

What you did?

[toobig]

[You're not his Reiner. Even if he wishes you were.]




If you don't know, I shouldn't say anything.

[schild]

Whatever you did, I know he cared about you, okay? You were important to him. The most important person to him.

[toobig]

If... that's what you believe.

[schild]

Hey, if all else... I care. About you-- and my, uh, you.

[toobig]

[He finally gives Ryan a more genuine, if still nervous, smile.]

I'm glad.

I'm jealous of him, really.

[schild]

[ Ugh, he's so cute and small... Here's a hug-- ]

Don't be. He's your second chance.

[toobig]

[Hug--!!! What.... N-no, Ryan, you'll make him cry...]

Y-you...

[schild]

I'm glad I remember you, Bertholdt. You're important to me. I'm sure you were to Reiner, too.
