bad rap
The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.
how to play:
Top level with some aspect of your character's reputation they might be trying to shake. Maybe it's something they're tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them into, etc. Say it in person or over text.
Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

understood!
[it's not that he would've minded. but sometimes things just don't work out. what he doesn't get is why annie is bringing it up. he owes her too. technically. for petra. oluo. eld. gunther. but he also knows the brat had her orders too. fuck.]
What I don't understand is why you of all people care. You that bored off your ass?
[he's not incapable of a relationship...he thinks. truth is, he never really considered one all that much. never mattered.]

[ She doesn’t, not really. The rumors the other cadets had spread around weren’t something Annie spent much time thinking about. But she feels as though she has to say something to Levi, after all she’s done to him. Small talk isn’t her thing, and she definitely realizes how awkward she’s being, but hey. Social skills were never really her forte. ]
Not like there was a lot of time for romance for you. Being Humanity’s Strongest must have kept you busy.
[ The words come out a little sour, and Annie wishes she’d schooled her voice better. Too late now. She keeps her face stoic, folds her arms. ]

[it's a good thing small talk isn't really levi's thing either. neither are social skills. and he snorts at the 'humanity's strongest' bullshit. if that were true, then a lot of what went down would've never happened. he knows it. the brats know it. and that's all there is to say about it.]
You mean like being a titan kept you busy?
[he still remembers how they all looked when he went back for them. how petra looked all smashed up against that tree. how he couldn't even bury them properly. but looking at annie...yeah. he gets it. it's not like she's the only one who ever did fucked up things to gain someone's approval. and he knows the look.]
Whatever it is...I only got so many grudges I can hold. And as it turns out...not as many fingers as I started out with. Guess that lets you off the hook, huh?
no subject
[ She’d…wished, once. Known it was impossible, of course, but wished nonetheless. But Armin was far too good for her, after everything she’d done. ]
Look, we all did shit. [ Annie can’t meet his eyes, instead focuses on a point just over his shoulder. ] If it was my choice…
[ Well, no use in that now. It’s far too late for her to regret anything. ]
no subject
Yeah well, it wasn't. We did what we did and you know how I feel about living with regrets. All that matters are the choices we make from this point forward.
[he hopes anyway. it ain't like she has long to live and if he can't fight, well...he might as well be a talking corpse. but he can at least throw something that might be important out there. maybe.]
...Go easy on Armin. Kid cries if he so much as sneezes wrong.
