[Accidental Video, daytime]

Eh? A gift? What's all this about...?

Something from home, huh? Well, if they're going to let me pick a-ny-thing...

[Action, the Dark Hour]

[Later that night, an enormous - taller than many of the buildings - but mostly inert Shadow appeared in the Business District! The ever-vigilant Asuka is of course one of the first to come across it...and it sheds its disguise into an equally enormous red monstrosity.



It...it...IT ACTUALLY WORKED! YES! YES! FINALLY!

[Asuka's going to run forward and....hug the thing's foot? Really?]

Oh man, this is the best day ever. I feel like I can fight for real again now! I guess I don't have a plugsuit but if that idiot can beat an Angel in his street clothes I can...



Hm.

How am I going to get up to the entry plug...? I've never done this without the cage gantry before...not while it was standing, anyway.

[Asuka will eventually be climbing a fire escape to try and get up there...this could take a while.]

Holy shit.

That's cool.

[Action]

[soulsborderline]

It's way the hell beyond cool! This is my Eva!

Now help me get up there!

Action

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Whooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaa! Asuka, is that yours?

[Action]

[kindofademon]

Right away ma'am, anything you say ma'am! What do I do first?

[As for the matter of the rooftop... Who's this douchebag?

He's standing on it like he thinks he's some kind of superhero or something.

He also may be not paying attention to Asuka, and poking at her Eva once with a spear, quizzically.]

[action]

[soulsborderline]

Phew. That was a long fire escape...

Hey! Don't touch that, it's mine!

Action

[soulsborderline]

Who else would something this awesome belong to?

This is my Evangelion! Unit 02, the first proper production model.

[Action]

[soulsborderline]

I guess the easiest way would be to get onto a fire escape and go from there...is there going to even be any LCL in the plug? I don't even know where they make that stuff...

[action]

[athngabla]

Well, that's good for you. Nice you got it back and everything. Congratulations.

Mind if I ask what in the hell it is?

Re: [action]

[soulsborderline]

That is the greatest weapon ever devised by mankind, my Evangelion, Unit 02.

Action

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Awesome! What does it do? What kinds of weapons does it have?

[action]

[athngabla]

A huge metal doll is mankind's greatest weapon?

[That sound is the sound of someone who can't keep up with progress. A sound Asuka's probably familiar with, by now.]

[action]

[soulsborderline]

It is not just some doll! It's a miracle of biological and mechanical engineering! Forty meters of cybernetic muscle, advanced weapons and control systems, and more importantly perfectly tuned to become an extension of its pilot, me! It can and has killed giant invincible monsters that make the biggest Shadows here look like stray pomeranians!

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

What is that.

Action

[soulsborderline]

Well, it fights Angels. A lot of the cool stuff is classified, of course, but for basic weapons it's got a machine gun called a pallet rifle...which doesn't seem to have arrived with it...

...an axe...missing...

...glaive...nope...

...

Aha! The combat knifes are probably up in the shoulder holsters. And of course, it can't have gotten here without its Secret Weapon.

[action]

[soulsborderline]

An Evangelion~

[Action]

[kindofademon]

I think I spotted one right over... there aways.

[Action]

[soulsborderline]

Great!

...how do we get the ladder down?

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

It's taking up that place that everybody puts their vehicles at.

("Parking lot", Kaoru.)

[Action]

[kindofademon]

It's kinda stuck to the wall.

[Action]

[soulsborderline]

If I'd worn pants today I'd ask you for a boost. *sigh* Let's get a crate.

[action]

[soulsborderline]

So what? This is the most important vehicle in the world, it at least deserves one parking lot.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

What's so good about it?

[action]

[soulsborderline]

You know the big Shadows that show up every month? Imagine monsters dozens of times larger with unstoppable bodies and forcefields impenetrable to all conventional weaponry rampaging through a city to attempt to end the world.

This is the one and only thing that can stop them.

[action]

[breatheinthefog]

So you want this to kill Shadows.
