[blondtactician]

I'm curious. How many of us here are below the age of 20? Of those, who have served officially or unofficially during war or fighting in some capacity?

Uh, I'm fifteen, but I've never been a soldier or anything like that. I'm just a high school student. [With fire powers, but that's besides the point]

voice;

[blondtactician]

I'm fifteen too. Well, technically the day of my birthday came and went, so I suppose that makes me sixteen... [Time travel, sigh.]

High school? I'm guessing that's some sort of standard of education?

[pactfulfilled]

yes to both. i'm about 19?

[All this world-traveling business has made keeping track of his age a little confusing, too.]

is it unusual for young people to enlist in military institutions where you're from?

[juneshero]

17.

nvr been in a war but I've done the fighting thing b4. sort of?

I'm a lot older than that, but I never lost my child like innocent heart.

That counts right.

[He totally knows it doesn't but here he is to derail conversation topics as if by magic.]

[blondtactician]

Not at all. I enlisted when I was 13. I'm currently 15 - 16 if a birthday that passed while I've been here counts, I'm unsure it would - and occasionally adult soldiers have expressed surprise or distaste at that.

[blondtactician]

Sort of?

[blondtactician]

I'm afraid that wasn't really what I was asking.

[juneshero]

it's hard to explain... but I no how 2 fite! that counts, right?

[ignoring the uncertain status he currently has about his Persona. w/e Yosuke could still sort of fight even without Jiraiya's help!]

oops wrong journal

[blondtactician]

[This text is actually a little hard to parse...] I'm glad you know how to fight, though it's not quite the same as being in a war.

[ Stalking a lot of these answers.

Meanwhile, she wonders if Armin saw what she did in the observatory though she didn't approach. ]

One of your allies is here. Eren, right?

haha that's fine

[juneshero]

well no... but I can defend myself at least? r we actually doing full on battles tho? nvr got a clear explanation for what we're expected 2 do other than 'help out the Initiative'

[Yosuke seems to be waffling between properly typed out messages and shorthand, honestly]

voice;

[hotdate]

Really? That's pretty cool, bro.

...Uh yeah. Don't you have it in your world?

[blondtactician]

Yes, as well as 3 others. Only one of them is below the age of 20 though.

It's interesting that all 3 are people that are known to me, though. Miss Annie trained with us, but chose to serve in a different legion.

[blondtactician]

[Bro?]

I attended classes during my military training, of course. Is a high school like an academy?

[blondtactician]

Anyone here doing the outbreak fought, yes. And from my reading I've seen that we've definitely engaged in full-on battles in addition to other kinds of missions.\

We need to help them change the direction of this war. Somehow.

[angel_of_death]

Both of those categories apply to me. Why are you asking?

voice;

[iphigeneia]

Why do you want to know?

[hotdate]

[Get used to it, BRO]

I...guess so? I mean, it's just a school, where you learn...regular school stuff. We're nothing fancy or anything.

Whoah wait, back up, military training?

[blondtactician]

Like I said, curiosity. I wondered if there was any sort of demographic similarity of the Transports in my age group.

voice;

[blondtactician]

Curiosity isn't enough of a reason? I wanted to know if there was any trend among transports in my age group.

[juneshero]

[he was trying to forget about the fact that there was apparently a zombie attack when he arrived. woooo- wait, this guy actually went back far enough to read all of that? (Yosuke gave up after going back a couple of weeks from when he arrived)]

Change the direction... So find some other way to beat the UE or whatever it's called?

[blondtactician]

What subjects did you study? [Since it's abundantly clear 'regular stuff' varies a lot.]

...Yes. I'm a soldier. I'd only been serving actively for a short time before being brought here.

[blondtactician]

Apparently we're already on our way to changing the course of history. Perhaps there won't be as strong a need for fighters as there was in the past.

[angel_of_death]

Most of the people here are ill-suited to war even if they display an ability to fight. Perhaps separating the two will give you a better grasp of how similar they are.
