With our mission in Paris just about at its limit, I have a few questions to posit to you all. This isn't quite my thing, and I don't mean to sound high and mighty, but you have all piqued my interest.

Firstly, the ideas of liberty and self-government were, indeed, revolutionary at this point in time. They're run of the mill for some, and to others they are representative of an ideal rarely achieved in their own world. I speak this of course to all of us, members of this response team. Do you agree with this revolution? Which is more right, the government of a king, or of a nation's people?

Second, to those whose plans have been a part of the mission, what went through your minds during the planning process? Or during its execution. [ He does not...see the irony behind this phrasing. ] Having failed the mission directives, do you feel in part responsible for whatever consequences arise? I say this both to those that were successful, and those that were not.

And lastly, given the state of affairs, this hardly matters much. It's more of a personal question. Do you think you are free?

Oh. I’m from just after. Early 20th. Guess it developed a lot in that span. Burgers weren’t really a thing until after the second war though.

And, hey, you seem like a pretty swell guy yourself. Name’s James, for the record. Since I’m gonna be owing you a burger and all, that’d probably be helpful to know, haha.

[ Eren doesn't really know how to handle that compliment. ]

My name is Kruger. I'm sure you could have assumed that from the username. I look forward to the meal when we get back to base and leave France behind.

Well, I could probably look forward to anything if it meant leaving France behind.

[ Fuck the French. ]

Actually, I hadn’t. Wait, you didn’t think my name was Bucket, did you?

[Jesus. He doesn't even know why he's been assigned such a thing. What do buckets have to do with anything at all?! And this guy just got his name as his username!]

France isn’t so bad though. A couple hundred years from now, at least. Can’t wait for a proper shower, I can tell you that.

I had been entertaining the possibility. James is not an uncommon name, but I think it's charming in that it's curt. I'll have to see if the man behind these messages lives up to my expectations.

As for France, I'd like to put it past me. Indeed, with a shower as well. Hopefully base will be as good as it sounds.

I hope not to disappoint then. Afraid to say I’m quite plain though.

Yeah, I’m more ready for a place to return to, to be honest. Haven’t exactly made a permanent residence around here or anything. But having somewhere to go back to? After a long mission? Definitely gratifying.

I sure hope so. I'll see you there, James.
