I have to admit, I'm confused as to why Hikari is suddenly unable to sync at all with Unit-00. There shouldn't be any difference from before regarding how the Rei fragment (or was it Ritsuko's mother? Either way, it applies) inside of Unit-00 feels about Hikari.

Nor can I fathom why Yui feels less accepting of Asuka now than she did before.

Rei I is a very, very angry and not very sane persona. She's berserked three times on activation, and Shinji only even got that much response because Rei II left a good impression of him. Rei I has never met Hikari, and has no reason to play nice with her.

And Yui being... less accepting? When has Asuka ever sat in Unit-01? She and Shinji have done dual synch in Unit-02 versus Gaghiel, and in Unit-03 when it was an emergency and in the later test, but she's never had a chance to warm up Unit-01 before. This is pretty good for a first try. It's just a bit low because like Shinji, Asuka's a bit leery now that they all know Yui was once a member of SEELE's end-the-world plan, and at the least complicit in Second Impact.

Good!Kyoko: Aww, what a nice, educated young man. Asuka is lucky to have someone as kind as you.
Evil!Kyoko: He's a BUM! Throw him out!

Worse: Crazy!Kyoko's response is more like "Aww, what a nice, educated young man..... Die with me..."
 
That said, at this point everything Ritsuko knows, she has told Maya. Maya may not have spread it further (they're not her secrets, after all), but Ritsuko confessing her sins to Maya is one of the things that has helped this version of Rits from killing herself.

False on the face of it. Unit-02 has gone berserk; when it tore its way out of Leliel's shadow. That was what gave Asuka the clue that led to she and Shinji realizing their mothers were in the Evas' cores.

Even in canon you could argue that, at the end of the fight against the vultures, when energy had run out.

Either that, or Asuka infused her own life force into the Evangelion in her desperation.

People often overlook that, yeah. Asuka was the only other Pilot who managed to get her Eva to berserk (Her batteries were well and truly dead. Asuka was making Unit-02 move on it's own.), and it didn't do any good, since she was so mutilated already she could hardly raise her arm... and then got impaled by all the thrown False Lances anyway.

Which only goes to show that the time to go berserk is right BEFORE you get torn apart.

Also:

More like "Die with US!".

I don't see Crazy!Kyoko rejecting Shinji, more he's going "Eww" every time she gets dark and morose.
 
2200 words of Evangelion: The Hangover down. This is going to be silly. Featuring a cameo by the most popular NPC from Children's Crusade: Lieutenant Growlsky! He's 2.75m tall, weighs 450kg, is Russian, loves vodka (but I repeat myself), wears a very nice fez, and is a very surly polar bear.

Preview? Sure!

"Kaworu!" he hissed. Kaworu was usually cheerful and sensible, right? He was a good one to wake first.

"Mmmurble," Kaworu replied, nuzzling his face deeper into Rei's lap. Rei did not seem to mind.

"Kaworu! Wake up!" Shinji said a little louder.

Kaworu's eyes snapped open. He vaguely focused in on Shinji, and started to smile.

Then his face turned green, and he murmured, "Oh Gott…" before leaping out of the bed and streaking for the bathroom. Sounds of extensive, deep vomiting began.

Shinji sighed. Ok, so much for plan A. Plan B.

Really? I thought it would be: Good Kyoko: Aw, what a nice young man. When are you going to make Asuka a mother?
Bad Kyoko: I WANT GRANDCHILDREN! GIVE ME GRANDCHILDREN!!
 
Well, there's enough points of commonality to explain a 44% synch rate with Bad Kyoko (which is about as good as the pilots had in most of canon Evangelion from what I remember). It's just that there's about enough difference between the two Kyokos to make the difference between a "wow" synch rate of 59% and a "meh, not bad" synch rate of 44%.

"Where's Misato? This is definitely all her fault."

".....all that's here is her underwear."

"There's a note over here, but it's written entirely in Drunk Misato."

Asuka coolly handed the note over to Shinji. "You're the most Japanese of us. I already can't read normal kanji, nevermind... that."

"This isn't Kanji. This is... Drunk Misato. There's not even one actual character on here."

You had me at the fez. Fezzes are cool.

I bet cryptanalysts would have a field day with Drunk Misato's note(s).
 
One day, people hundred of years in the future will be wracking their brains trying to decipher Drunk Misatoese.

"I have no idea." Rei rustled some papers. "I think I may have found our wedding papers. And a...note from Misato?"

"What does it say?" Asuka said, pouring out four glasses of juice and Gatorade and placing painkillers beside each glass.

"I do not know. It is written entirely in Drunk Misato." She walked over to Asuka and handed her the note.

Asuka looked at the paper, shook her head, and coolly handed the note over to Shinji. "You're the most Japanese of us. I already can't read normal kanji, nevermind... that."

Shinji squinted at the paper, but shook his head as well. "This isn't Kanji. This is... Drunk Misato. There's not even one actual character on here. There's a sketch of a bottle and… I think that's a dickbutt." He looked at Rei. "No other sign of her?"

"Her bed is not slept in, and all that's here is her underwear."
