[It's a video of a young man (around 18) standing sitting on a couch. Somehow making this kind of a post had become a habit. But if they had yet another world to save, he supposed it was going to be useful to know.]

We get a lot of these kinds of posts, but since we're just starting I guess that's understandable. So one more, at least.

[He's not a stranger to the network, but it still felt pretty awkward to make a post, especially now that this was yet another group of mostly strangers.]

My name is Jean Kirstein and I'm a soldier deployed in a branch called Survey Corps, which is basically a combat unit meant to fight the monsters in our world and gain back the lands we lost.

[A simple enough introduction and also a lead into why he's making this post.]

I wanted to know many of us here have military experience? I figured it would be useful to know so we could either train together or teamup otherwise when needed. Especially if our experiences align well.

[He shrugs, then.]

Or if you're not in military, maybe you can tell about what it's like, if you know.

Let's not give up so soon! I know you can do it!

Should I give you some encouragement? ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

[rustyhonesty]

Encouragement for making more fire puns? Is that even a thing?

[localweirdo]

Yes.

Because laughter always cheers people up! The more puns, the better!

[rustyhonesty]

I'm not exactly funny. I would get fired if I was a comedian.

[localweirdo]

And why you should practice some more!

C'mon, let's continue so we can keep on laughing! Think of another joke! (♡´艸`)

[rustyhonesty]

[Think of another joke? Ugghh.... hmm...]

... what did the fish say when he swam into a wall?

[localweirdo]

Oh, how fishy this will be?

Or perhaps even he would say how fintastic this will be?

[rustyhonesty]

... dam.

The answer was dam.

[localweirdo]

Oh.

[DRAMATIC PAUSE!]

Waterever the fish says, I just hope the other fishes know they were cursing!

[rustyhonesty]

I'm pretty sure dam is just a word for them that means a fishy wall that blocks water.

Then again, I don't speak fish.

[localweirdo]

Oh, I know.

It just sounds like a curse word so I figured I should say something. Either way, it still managed to get a chuckle out of me! I hope you smiled at your own joke!

[rustyhonesty]

... maybe a little bit.


[He did smile quite a bit. It was a silly joke. And Hu Taos additions helped.]

[localweirdo]

I certainly hope so.

Because I think you really could use it. You deserve the chance to laugh while you still can. Life is short to frown so much, you know?
