-Shinji is too tired to deal with any Asuka brand shenanigans right now. He forces himself to smile.-

Happy to see you too, Asuka. Been taking care of Unit 02?

red_devil_02 April 23 2010, 00:18:16 UTC

Why bother? Obviously it's not needed.

a_young_legend April 23 2010, 00:34:05 UTC

-Well, this was awkward.-

Oh... I guess you're right. I was just worried since the last time I saw it it was, well, y'know.

How are you holding up?

Welcome back, Shinji. Welcome back.

a_young_legend April 22 2010, 17:35:46 UTC

Was there ever any doubt I'd be back? Pretty soon they're going to start betting pools on me. Scary thought.

But I appreciate it. Seems your dream self was adamant about my return as well. I'd expect no less from Simon the Driller.

spiral_hero April 22 2010, 18:36:56 UTC

Dream self? What happened in there?

a_young_legend April 23 2010, 00:34:55 UTC

Imagine the most surreal, bizarre, trippiest experience you've ever had in your life.

Then multiply it by about a thousand.

That's what happened in there.

Rei...

Thanks. We've haven't talked in awhile, so how have you been?

zomg_teh_rei May 10 2010, 22:07:17 UTC

Worried. Some of us thought we'd lost you. It wasn't even clear whether you'd want to come back, even if you could.

[This guy looks kinda familiar, doesn't he? ...nah, just your imagination.]

Welcome back, Shinji Ikari.

-Shinji takes note of the resemblance, a chill running down his spine. He forces a smile, though.-

Ah, I appreciate it. Say, don't take this the wrong way or anything if I forgot your name, but...

Have we met before?

You misspelled C-C-C-C-COMBO srw_u_mods May 7 2010, 18:44:36 UTC

[Kaworu subtly elects not to answer thte question directly, but his smile looks a lot less forced!]

I'm Kaworu Nagisa, the Fifth Child. I'll be working together closely with the four of you from now on.

had to make this joke eventually a_young_legend May 8 2010, 11:38:59 UTC

-Shinji considers pressing the subject... but shrugs it off, smiling at Kaworu in turn.-

So you're the one, huh? Asuka mentioned you earlier. Sorry I hadn't gotten the chance to meet you yet. I was a little busy being, y'know, tang.

-He extends his hand to Kaworu as a friendly gesture.-

I'm Shinji, Shinji Ikari. Pleasure to meetcha, Mr. Kaworu.
