...okay now I want to dump Friendship is Magic on them. Along with Steven Universe, and especially since the Massachusetts group exists, Gravity Falls. :D

On Gravity Falls: Yes. Definitely. Absolutely (I rigged it!). Hadn't thought it before, but the mech is just another reason the Chronicles cast needs to see the show. Hope it shows up on the next vote, and that the twins are dragged into the reaction.

As for the other two, they might be too long for it now. As much as I'd love to see the cast work through FiM because it's great and gets referenced all over the place, that'd be a lot to dump onto BG, and would probably take longer than all the Chronicles so far combined, especially since a lot of the non-show content would be 'must watch'. Speaking of which...

Umm...How many seasons of MLP are we talking about here? Last I checked they're on their 9th and final one. And with how many episodes are in a season, you really want to dump all of that onto our cast and writer?

200+ episodes across 9 seasons, 5 movies, quite a few specials, and more shorts than I could reasonably count without looking them up. As above, as much as I love FiM/EqG, I think we can assume this is, unfortunately, a solid 'Nope'.

"Kaworu?"

"Yes Misato?"

"Few questions. One: "

She pointed towards a shipping container, haphazardly painted pink with the doors open, filled to the brim with various materials. "Why on Earth would God send us this in a damn Dirac Rift?"

"I don't know."

"Two: "

She picked up one of the materials, depicting six or so technicolour ponies. "Why is it full of... this?"

"I don't know."

Oh, I'm just having a bit of fun with you two!

Kaworu rolled his eyes. "God damn it, Discord. Show yourself."

With a flash of light, the Draconequus, Gods of Chaos, appeared.

In the midst of a shower. "Give me some privacy, jeez."

Kaworu's Field flared, dissipating the bathtub and causing Discord to plummet to the top of the container. "Bah. You're no fun, Tabris."

"I thought we were in agreement that the only place you would sow chaos in this world was Australia." He held up a treaty, from the United Nations.

"That place was doing rather well without me."

"Yes, but unless you want to battle the Evangelion again."

There was a slight pause.

Before Discord grunted in annoyance, snapping his fingers and making the container disappear, but in its place leaving behind a few discs. "Fine, i'll just leave you with these to start off with. Curse that darn AT-Field of yours!"

And like that, he too flashed out of existence.

"God's sake, some beings, eh Misato?"

Misato's current mood was 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.'

"Pftt. Yeah, he's like that."

Misato yelped and fell to the ground at the bubbly voice, quickly realising it came from a pink pony with cotton candy for hair.

"How'd you get here, Pinkie?" Kaworu lightly queried.

"I dunno, probably Discord again." She shrugged. "I'm used to it at this point. Say, have you built that portal yet?"

"Unfortunately not."

"Darn it, guess I'm stuck here until Twilight yells at Discord enough" She chuckled. "Oh well. Lunch, Kaworu?"

"I wouldn't mind." He smiled, before beginning to head off. "I tried that hayburger recipe you gave me, they're surprisingly delicious."

"See? I told you so! Ooh how's Rei been doing? I'm pretty sure one of her birthdays is coming up soon!"

Misato simply stood there as the pink pony continued speaking into the distance, with a gaping stare, like a cockatrice had gotten to her. The ravens were bad enough, now this?

"I'm never getting used to this place."

Twilight would probably geek out about the Kleinium with Ritsuko, Shinji and Fluttershy would get on way too well, Asuka and Rainbow Dash would get on horrifyingly well (or terribly well), Rei would have to consign herself to being a model for Rarity, and Pinkie would somehow yoink Gendo out of the Eva. :V

Ritsuko stared at the computer monitor, eye twitching. After a long moment, she drew in a deep breath, attempting to calm herself.

It didn't work.

"What the f**k do you mean, 'Tilt'?!"
 
The magi trying to analize anyone form My Little Pony would bring up these messages. (See Super Paper Mario)

As mind shreddingly hilarious as this crossover idea is I have a sinking suspicion it might count as thread derailment. Tbh I'm not super clear on all the forum rules here.

We haven't derailed. We're just on a parallel railroad. And because the geometry is non-Euclidean, these parallel rails just so happen to get further away or closer to each other at random intervals. :V

Actually this is tied to Chronicales in the same manner Chronicles is tied to A&T; based on it. It just seems like a derail cause it's a discussion about an idea tied to another idea tied to A&T.

But like most things in life we must still be careful. If were not one of the trains can easily break out of Non-Euclidean geometry and into "Outer God" geometry.

Non-Euclidean geometry is actually quite normal. For example, a triangle can have more than 180 degrees if mapped on a sphere.
 
Here is an omake I thought up. It is connected to the Eva fortune ones I wrote.

"Very well. I shall explain about who I am and what I do"

It started off as just another day for Shu the observer looking over his antique shop when some familiar people came in. "Hello, can I help you?" Shu asked. Then he recognized them. "Well now. I have not seen you people in a while, Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Kaworu." Indeed, the four youths he had read their fortunes before stepped into his store. They were accompanied by two adult women. Asuka then spoke up "Well we mention this place to our Mothers and decided to show it to them." Kaworu then continued "We also decided to shop for gifts for our respective partners." Shu nodded understanding. "Very well, please let me know what you would like when you find it."

While the youths browsed around, the two women introduced themselves. "Hello there Shu. I am Yui." "And I'm Kyoko." Shu them decided to strike up a conversation with them. "Pleased to meet you two. Are you related to those children by chance?" Yui answered, "Yes. I am Shinji's Mother. Rei is also related to me." Kyoko continued "Asuka is my daughter. Out of curiosity, they mentioned you do tarot reading." He responded "That's right. It is more of a hobby than a business. My primary income is selling antiques and delivering some to specific clients."

With in Yui, what was left of Gendo's consciousness stirred. "Wait a minute, isn't he that weird fortune teller that ripped me off for 100 000 yen?" Yui heard him think that and spoke to him. "Wait he appeared before you?" Gendo then explained to her about that encounter which happened prior to the assault on the Geofront and the death of his body. Yui though dumbstruck was able to speak to him. "Oh my. He accurately predicted what would happen to you." Gendo responded "I accept that he was right. My obsession was my undoing. What I am still angry at him for is that he overcharged me for that reading!" Yui chuckled "I guess even dimensional drifters can be petty."

At that moment both Shinji and Kaworu had found suitable gifts for their Girlfriends. They were about to bring them to the cashier when Rei noticed a peculiar gem. "Oh my. This ruby has an exceptional glow to it." Asuka decided to have a closer look at it, which caused Shu to panic. "NOOO! Don't touch that!" Unfortunately, Asuka picked it up. Because said jewel is the Phantom Ruby, it started to cause a dimensional disturbance. Fortunately, Shu was fast in stopping it and sealing it properly. He them promptly put it in a safe in the back. "Great, this just had to happen the same day I decide to clean out the inventory in the back. I hope I don't get in trouble with my boss."

He looked at the customers and realized he had to explain himself to Shinji and Asuka, as well as their mothers. "I suppose you want an explanation about what just happened." Shinji was the first to speak up "That and who you really are. The way you stopped whatever happened was not normal." Shu could only sigh. "I had a feeling this day would come. Fortunately, I received permission from my boss to explain to you people to a certain extent. Very well. I shall explain about who I am and what I do."

Shu then did a small bit of reality warping to give them privacy while they spoke. "To start Rei, Kaworu, and Gendo know of my true nature. Please don't be mad at them for not telling you. Gendo could not due to a hex I placed on him. Rei and Kaworu figured it out after I did my tarot reading on them. They promised not to tell anyone unless I gave them permission." Both Asuka and Shinji nodded understanding that some things had to be kept secret. "As I explained to them before, I am a dimensional drifter that can only be a neutral observer. I am not allowed to directly intervene in events that happen. What I can do is that if there is a dimensional disturbance that might spill into other universes, my job is to resolve such aberrations. That involves collecting aberrant objects so that they can be safely sealed and stored away." Asuka then spoke up "Leaving that gem in the open was a big mistake. What if that caused a black hole." Shu could only hang his head in shame. "I know. That was a careless mistake on my part. I will make sure it does not happen again." Shinji responded "We understand. Nobody is perfect."

"Thank you. Again, I apologize for that mess." Said Shu. Gendo then spoke up "Shu I have a question for you. Have you seen other timelines like this one?" Shu replied "If you mean involving Eva's and impacts then yes. I have seen how a lot of them turned out." Gendo then asked, "How often did I succeed?"

"That depends on your definition of success." "At minimum, achieving this state." Shu took a moment to examine the other timelines he observed. "Even including the timelines that you and Yui are together in death, very few." Gendo could only sigh at that statistic.

Asuka then spoke up. "Kaworu one mentioned how in another time line he and Shinji are a couple. Can you tell us about some other combinations among us?" Shu smirked at that topic. "No problem. I addition to the one you mentioned, here are the others. Rei and Asuka. Rei and Shinji. Asuka and Kaworu. For three-way relationships I have seen Shinji-Rei-Asuka and Shinji-Asuka-Kaworu. I would not be surprised if there are other combinations. The most memorable one for me is a four-way marriage between all four of you." The pilot 4 blushed madly at the thought of a foursome between them. Yui, Kyoko and Gendo were mind blown at the thought of that type of relationship. "How did that happen?" Ask Rei, face redder than a tomato. "Let's just say it involves Las Vegas and a scenario similar to the Hangover."

They wisely decided not to ask for further elaboration. Since they were done, Shu brought them back to reality. They still made the purchases and promised to keep this a secret. They also promised to meet again to ask about different topics.

Welp, for a moment there I thought I was going to get a second Friday update week in a row... but the next two scenes are really dang complicated, so they're still cooking. I've got two scenes done, but I'm not going to post until I can get those other two, since they end on a hell of a wham line. Shinji and Misato have to be brought up to speed on what Rei has told Asuka, and then things are going to be... tricky.

I'm taking the next week off work, so there should be some writing time, assuming my family doesn't totally distract me.

In the meantime, how about a preview?

Ritsuko could feel the Second Child's stare burning into the back of her neck.

At least it was just a stare. Asuka's running grumbled commentary while her foot soaked and Ritsuko had been trying to work on the Suzuhara kid's process had been annoying enough. It had elevated to louder and more pointed snarls when the Fourth Child's turn had come. Only the timely intervention of Rei had headed off a potential explosion when Ritsuko began to load the Third Child into the healing pod. Asuka had started threatening her with doom and death if anything happened to Shinji. After Ritsuko had threatened to have her removed from the room if she couldn't stop pestering her while she worked on the most delicate case, Rei had managed to extract a promise from the redhead to keep silent as the price of her staying to watch.

'It's not like I need more stress right now!' Ritsuko thought to herself. 'The Horaki kid was easy, all soft tissue repair. Even Suzuhara wasn't that bad, just the complication of it being brain tissue at center. But damn it, the Third Child's is all a mess of broken ribs, lungs, and major blood vessels! The last thing I need right now is some smart-ass little bitch jogging my elbow while I try to- shit shit shit, potassium and calcium levels are all wrong, balance balance!' She hurriedly typed commands into the control computer, trying to stay ahead of the fluctuating readouts. The Third Child's system was being heavily taxed by this process, and his vitals were not making her feel reassured.

'His pulse is way too high, damn it. Increase the glucose feed, blood sugar too low...'

Her hands flew over the console, trying to stay one step ahead of the alarmingly unstable process. It was bad enough in the best of times. On this second round in less than twenty-four hours, she couldn't take her eyes off it for more than thirty seconds before some new instability cropped up.

'Arterial oxygenation dropping, his lungs aren't keeping up with breathing and regenerating at the same time damn damn damn!'

"Doctor!" Asuka muttered urgently. Shinji's pulse was still increasing.

"I know!" Ritsuko snapped, her hands moving faster. She spared twenty seconds to order the MAGI to begin predictive analysis of the instabilities and automatically respond to recurring ones with adjustments she'd already used.

"Rei, I'm going to scream if I have to just sit here!" she heard the Second Child whisper. "I can hear his heart racing, I can see those monitors, and I can't do anything! Nothing but sit and watch this woman work on him!"

"Doctor Akagi is the best in the world. She will save him."

"That's a little hard to trust in after what she did to you!"

"She truly wishes to make amends. Do you understand now why I said I know she is not lying?"

There was a long pause before the Second Child replied again. "...alright. I trust you, Rei. Whatever you can see in her, she's still got to earn it as far as I care."

"She will."

'I wish I had as much faith in me as you and Maya do, Rei,' Ritsuko thought for a moment. More indicators began bleeping on the pod. She worked faster.

Ritsuko is not a good person.

But she wants to be. She is trying to be a good person, because she wants to be worthy of the faith Maya and Reí give her. Which is honestly a lot more than many people do, because Rits is making the attempt.

(Obvious joke is obvious: Don't believe in yourself Rits, believe in the Maya who believes in you!)
