A Sasha Braus Roleplaying Blog

Sasha sighed, sitting down. “This was a family recipe, you know. My mother used to make these for my dad and I since I was a kid. They’re probably not gonna be as good as hers seeing as I don’t really bake that often, but it’s worth a shot.” she said, smiling at the king.

“Braus, please stop that. Especially while I’m in the middle of a lecture.” warned  professor Levi, resuming his lecture about biology. Sasha tried to fight it, but the urge to hum the song stuck in her head, specially Flashdance… What a Feeling by Irene Cara, was too strong. She hummed to herself quietly, gathering odd looks from her classmates. She took notes, wondering why this was happening.

“Let’s get down to business, to defeat the huns. Did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons.” Scarlett sang next with no shame. She loved Disney songs so much. “You’re the saddest I ever met, but you can bet before we’re through. Mister, I’ll make a man out of you.” Jack rolled his eyes and laughed at his best friend.

Sasha walked back home, humming I’ll Make A Man Out Of You. She didn’t know why she had it stuck inside of her head, she hadn’t watched Mulan in years. She came to the conclusion that she had heard it somewhere and kept going.

Scarlett finished cleaning up the kitchen and got ready to go out on the beach with Jack and a couple of friends from school. She pulled on her coat and left her house.

The brunette unlocked the front door of her apartment and walked in, removing her shoes at the front door. She was feeling rather peckish and was hungry for something sweet, so she went to the kitchen and got out the necessary materials to make cinnamon rolls. She set her phone on the counter and hit shuffle on her favourite playlist, getting to work. “Gina works the diner all day, working for her man, she brings home her pay, for love, for love…”

Sasha finished making her cinnamon rolls and left them out to cool. She set a place for herself on the table and poured herself a glass of milk while she waited. She grabbed her phone and was about to watch some vines when Connie walked in. “I smell cinnamon rolls.” he said bluntly, stepping into the kitchen. Sasha nodded. “We can’t eat them yet. Well, unless you wanna burn your tongue.”

The second Sasha told Connie not to touch them, he grabbed one and shoved it in his mouth. “AH! FUCK! IT BURNS!” he yelled, grabbing glass of milk Sasha had poured for herself and pouring it into his mouth. Sasha couldn’t help but giggle. “I told you to wait! This is what you get for not listening to me!”

Sasha found herself outside of a lighthouse with a man that was unfamiliar to her. Words came out of her mouth, words that weren’t hers. She chucked rocks into a body of water against her will. She was used to having some control over her dreams, but this dream wasn’t like the others. She watched on, wondering who’s eyes she was seeing through.

Scarlett and Jack continued chucking rocks into the water before getting up. Jack yawned and stretched, cracking his knuckles. They walked back to their house where they just relaxed and played video games.

Sasha watched, feeling at ease. She found herself really into the game they were playing and was about to uncover an important piece of information when her alarm went off. She bolted upright, hitting the snooze button and trying to fall back asleep. No luck. She shut off her alarm, getting ready for the day.

“F-fifty percent?” said Sasha, staring at her test in disbelief. “Damn, you really bombed it this time.” said her friend Jean, looking at his mark. “What did you get?” the brunette asked, hoping she wasn’t the only one with a bad mark. Jean showed her his paper. “Eighty-five?” Sasha said in disbelief. Jean nodded.   Sasha hung her head. “I should’ve studied more…”

Scarlett yawned, slowly falling asleep on the sofa. She found herself with a boy, looking at some test. Scarlett didn’t know who this boy was or what the test was even on.

“Cheer up, Sash. Let’s go out for some ice cream, alright? I’m paying.” said Jean. Sasha smiled. “That sounds like a good idea.” she replied as they walked off campus to their favourite ice cream place.

Scarlett sighed, wondering what Sasha was like. And what her friends were like. Where did she even live? Maybe there would come a chance where Scarlett would meet her. She let out a sigh.

Jean punched her in the shoulder. “Don’t let it get you down. You’re better than that.” Sasha sighed, licking her ice cream. “Hey Jean?” she asked idly, staring at the wall. Jean cocked his head. “I had a weird dream last night. Do you know anything about it?”

Sasha stared up at the titan, the corner of her mouth twitching in an awkward smile. She tried to speak, but all it came out as was a mess of awkward squeaks and assorted sounds. Her brain was working in overdrive to comprehend what she was seeking. “H-h-hello…!”

The titan just stared at Sasha, tilting his head curiously at her. Scarlett stepped back to stand next to Sasha as Jack straightened up.

Sasha was frozen in fear, reminded of the battle for Trost. 

Surprisingly, the titan put her down and growled. Scarlett looked up at the Titan. “Thank you.” She said. The Titan growled and stood up straight.

Sasha was in shock as she stared up at the titan. The corner of her mouth twitched. “H-how…”

“I guess you could call me a ‘Titan tamer.’” Scarlett joked, giggling softly.

“Y-yeah...” Sasha replied, unable to say anything more.

Scarlett let out a sigh, glancing at the clock in her history class. Her bicolored eyes glancing around the classroom at her friends who were writing down notes. Everyone had gotten used to Scarlett’s different colored eyes, since that it was a sign of your soulmate. It had been a shock at first when she came in with one vibrant green eye and the other being a golden-brown colour. Once the bell rang, Scarlett got up and packed her things away, meeting up with her friends. Scarlett still had no idea who her soulmate was.

“So, you any closer to telling Jaeger how you feel?” asked Connie, genuinely curious. “Not so loud!” hissed Jean, shoving him as they exited the school. “Not yet, but I’m thinking…” Sasha smiled. This was a daily occurrence with them, but she didn’t mind. If anything, she found it rather entertaining. “If you’re not too busy, do you guys wanna come over to hang out?” she asked, wondering if that bag of chips was still in the pantry. The two boys nodded as they headed in the direction of Sasha’s house.

“Dammit! Why am I always the one who dies first?” Jean exclaimed, dropping his controller in frustration. Connie and Sasha were left to fight to the death, Connie coming out on top. “No fair, you pushed me off the edge!” said Sasha, shoving him. “Oh, come on, Sash, you were just begging to get shoved off. And it’s your fault for choosing a heavyweight.” Connie replied nonchalantly. Sasha sighed. “You do have a point...”

Scarlett whined and covered her face. “Stop..”

Sasha punched her in the arm playfully. “If I’m being completely honest, it’s kind of cute.”

“Oh shush you. I’m not cute.”

“You are.”

“Well…” said the scout, rubbing the back of her neck. “I didn’t know her up until recently when I saw how pale she looked and asked if she was sick. As for how we got here, she couldn’t walk on her own so I called a cab. Is there anything else you need to know?” she asked, fidgeting a bit.

Sasha stared off into space for a moment, deep in thought. She quickly snapped back to her senses. “Huh? O-oh! Y-yeah! I remember that she made a call earlier back at my place. I don’t think she ever mentioned a name, but someone was coming to pick her up. Is there anything else you need to know?” she asked, racking her mind for anything useful she could remember.

“Yup. Connie brought home some new, exotic brand of alcohol and I was feeling good last night so I said to myself ‘Alright, guess I’ll try it’. Why?” the brunette asked, not wanting to remember any more. It was too tiring, and she didn’t have the energy to think about that. The only thing she wanted to know was when Riza would leave so she could go back to bed.

“I felt fine for a bit, then I wanted to have a nap. So I did. As for Connie, probably not. He’s kinda oblivious. Don’t tell him I said that, though.” Sasha said, sinking into her mattress. She wasn’t quite sure what Riza was planning, but whatever it was, she knew that she wasn’t gonna let herself get out of bed.
