The Survey Corps came into Shiganshina this morning, scheduled to ride out to titan territory at noon. Lucas Vogel was tending to his horse named Hedwig, giving her a carrot that he bought when they arrived in this town a few hours ago. It would still be about an hour before they had to assemble and ride outside the walls, so Lucas went to check his vertical manoeuvring equipment to make sure everything was in order. He walks into the room that had become a temporary quarters for the Survey Corps soldiers until they would ride out. There was a lot of soldiers in there. Some were walking around nervously, others were sitting down completely relaxed. Lucas, however, was excited. Each time they ventured outside of the walls he saw something new that he had never seen before. Whether it's big or small, Lucas lived for new experiences. He walked over to where his vertical manoeuvring gear was and started inspecting it carefully.

Keiko Barone was one of the soldiers that was relaxed, she laid back in her chair and was going to get a quick nap in, but was interrupted by the unsettling sound of someone vomiting in the corner of the room. She sat up and hurried over to the puking soldier as he staggered away from his puddle and plopped down on a bench, beside his guitar. "Really Jack?" A soldier snapped at him. "I just mopped this floor!" Keiko stepped in, pushed Jack's guitar aside, and sat down beside him, rubbing and patting his back. Let him be, he's obviously nervous." The Soldier stormed of getting the mop bucket. Jack leaned forward putting his head in his hands coving up his tears, beginning to shake all over, "I can't do this anymore. I should have quit the first time, why didn't I just go home after the first time!?" Discreetly whipping away his tears, he abruptly stood up and tured to Keiko, "This is it, I'm quitting. I'm gonna go talk to Lucas." Keiko stood up with him and said in a calming voice, "Don't you remember what I told you? Stick with me and we can do this as a team. I'm one of the best out there, I wouldn't let anything happen to you." Jack looked away, shaking his head. He walked over to the window, putting his hands on the ledge, looking out at the morning sky. Keiko tip toed over to him putting her hands behind her back, bumping her hip against his. "You wanna know a secret about Titans?" Jack darted his eyes over at her, giving her a sullen look, as she continued. "The reason they don't have balls, is because I sliced them all off before the battles even start." She gave him a wink watching a smile crack on his face as he howled with laughter. "You still wanna quit?" She asked as he catches his breath, "Well, not anymore. Not when I have an awesome friend like you." Keiko squeals excitedly grabbing Jack, giving him a huge hug, bouncing up and down. "Thank you-thank you-thank you! And you know what I'd miss most of all if you left?" Jack smiles down at her tilting his head, "What?" Keiko let go of him, and looked over at his guitar. Jack blushes a little, went over to the bench, and grabbed his guitar. He and Keiko sat down together, and Jack began to play. It lightened the mood a little in the Survey corps quarters as some of the soldiers looked up at him, some of them smiling.

While sitting on a stool tending to his vertical manoeuvring gear, Lucas had been able to observe most of the conversation between Keiko and Jack. It was a bit touching, and he was glad it ended well. He smiled widely to the sound of the music. A couple of minutes later he walked over to Keiko and took a seat next to her.
"Do the titans really not scare you at all?" he asked her, suddenly with a more serious expression.

Keiko sat up straight and crossed her arms, sticking her nose up in the air. With a proud and confident grin on her face, she said to him, "Why should I be? Titans are nothing more than big bumbling Neanderthals, that have on and off switches for brains." She giggled at herself and looked Lucas in the eye. "Titans," she said with a glint of determination, "are my playground."

Janet walked into the tent. She'd been gone for only an hour or two, but had completely forgotten that the Survey Corps would be taking up space for the next few hours. A little annoying that she'd have to maneuver around all of them to get her report in, but they wouldn't be here long, and honestly they did more good in the long run than harm in the short. Janet had been out doing her daily wall inspections, watching for cracks and weaknesses. She had quite an eye for such a thing, and blessedly, nothing had popped out to her. At least, not on her section. She couldn't be sure about the others. As she crossed the room, however, she heard Keiko's statement and gritted her teeth. The girl must've been new to the Corps. She hadn't seen what those things were capable of yet. Blissful, yet ignorant. Pompous, yet naive. "Tell me in another few months if you think the same thing," Janet tells Keiko, "A little more time on the force, a chance to see what they can do. Maybe then you'll have a healthy amount of respect for what they're capable of."

Lucas nods in agreement with the garrison girl who entered the conversation. Then he faces Keiko again. "Just be careful out there today, alright? Don't do anything TOO crazy. Remember that freedom is much better spent alive than dead." Lucas then stands up and extends his hand to the girl from the garrison. "Name's Lucas, and this here is Keiko. We're in the same squad of the Survey Corps, so I get to see her goof around quite often. " he lets out a slight laugh. "Anyway, it's nice to meet you. It seems like most of the soldiers from the garrison usually stay away whenever we're around, so it's nice to be talking to one for a change." Lucas smiles pleasantly.

"Sure is!" Keiko says enthusiastically, when she realizes it's almost time to go on the mission. If you ever need any Choice Cut Titan meat I'm your girl!" She grins at herself in admiration, while behind her Jack rolls his eyes.

Janet almost throws up in her mouth thinking about eating titan meat, but she's able to quench the thought. "I don't see a reason to avoid you all, so long as I'm not distracting you," she replies, accepting Lucas's hand, "The name's Janet. A pleasure." She steps back and looks them up and down quickly. Lucas appeared to be more experienced than his friend, but... that didn't exactly seem very hard. Even so, she gave a curt nod to Keiko.

"Well, I think all of us in here are just about ready to go, even though all of us don't quite look it," Lucas tells Janet. "No more preparations needed anyway." He starts fastening his vertical manoeuvring gear to himself as he speaks. "Keep the walls standing tall for us while we're away. Otherwise we may not find out way back." Lucas gives Janet a quick wink before grabbing two bags and starts walking toward the room's exit.

Janet laughs and turns away from the group, "Take care out there!" she continues across the room, towards her original goal.

"Thank you kindly! We'll need all the luck we can get," Lucas replies over his shoulder right before leaving the room. When he comes outside he walks to the big street close to the outer gate and places the bags he was carrying on a carriage what they would bring with them on the mission. Then he mounts his horse Hedwig and waits for the last of the Survey Corps to arrive.

Keiko bounced up and down in her seat, enthusiastically and impatiently "Lucas! Is it time to go yet?"

Lucas sighs with a smile. He had gotten used to this girl faster than he had expected. While she was still fairly new in the corps she had been easy to get to know, and even difficult to shake at times when Lucas wanted some downtime alone. "Yes, I do think we're leaving pretty soon," he responded with an excited expression. "We just gotta wait for Commander Keith to give the signal."

Keiko grumbled and sat down, she waited, and waited, and waited. She started to carve her name in the table. She took a notebook and drew herself killing Titans. After five minutes of waiting, Keiko let out a huge impatient groan, like a child.
