Jeez, you sleep for one night and everything happens.

Strypgia said:
I've been... having a month. Yes. A month. Too much work, too little sleep, and a plague over the land means no writing time.
So this week I looked up and noticed I hadn't written anything in weeks. No A&T, no ACoS, not even an omake.
I needed to fix this.

So I did something perhaps foolish.

I told @Aleph she may poke me with the sharpest objects she can find if I don't write at least weekly. And to prove I meant it, I had to write something by the end of that day.

She was... um... alarmingly pleased at the prospect of poking me with sharp things.

Well, it's a good motivator at least.
Not sure how I feel about a rogue Catra dancing through the halls of SV with an arsenal of pointies, though...

Strypgia said:
"F*ck," Kaworu muttered. "This always looks so easy in movies."

Shinji stared at him.

Kaworu noticed the look as he got up to pick up the other cards that had missed the hat. "What?"

"You... you just said an asterisk. Not 'fuck', not 'bleep', you actually said the typographic mark." Shinji stuck a finger in his ear and wiggled it around. "I just heard you say it, and I can't even describe it. How the fuck did you do that?"

Either that or it's an audible bleep or weirdly accented 'EE'.

So... F-aeyeh-ck? :p

"Starring in a big budget series of underground Russian porn. What's dinner tonight?"

"Thing is, by 'underground', she means it was filmed in some guy's basement."

"Shut it, Fish. Let me have some mystery, at least."

Whenever Rei is trying to clear out her house after a party, she just puts it on the presumedly massive widescreen TV she has :V

All that NERV compensation had to go somewhere, after all.
What do you mean 'wrong universe'. This is Rei! Like she gives a damn.

Strypgia said:
Rei: ".....Stupid Fish, the multiverse is not a gacha game."

Kaworu: ".......you sure about that?"

"Fairly sure. Either way, no need to give Dr. Akagi even more of a headache trying to work it all out."

Meows are a rating Xon made up once as a joke, and people loved it so much he made it permanent as a subscriber benefit. Staff also get it. Since it's about all I get 'paid', I use them on posts as a super-like. :)

So that's where they came from. Always knew they were a sub perk, but didn't realise they were originally a joke rating. Neat. :)

Really? I normally can. How are you laying them out?

But they're all Stupid Fishes!

Okay, how about Shinji surrounded by Gendos It's going to end either with him screaming madness or genocide (of the Gendos, of course).

Moving on, I've found out this little bundle of sadness on Reddit yesterday:

I don't own this
So to all Fanfiction Writers in this thread, what would you do to her as a character?
 
There are at least two fics on SV that are doing neat things with Mari, incidentally.

Transfer her ghost into one of Rei's spare bodies, on the strict understanding that she not use it for purposes of sexual harassment.

In Chronicles, right? beacuse I can't find the logic of putting any characters inside a Rei's spare normally in story.

Gryphon said:
What he said. There's so much untapped potential with Mari it's almost criminal.

Exactly, I agree with you, she has so much wasted potential as a character that's actually a shame; from my point of view, you could do alot of things with her.

For example:
  • Deconstruction of the Genki Girl trope.
  • Sister figure to Asuka.
  • Comic relief.
  • Give her an interesting dynamic with some other character (Like Septimus did with Kaworu or Gryphon with Kensuke).
  • Make her a spy from some other organization that's against NERV (probably SEELE), and have her doubt of what she's doing.

The list can go on but as I said, even if Final does something interesting with her or reveals her backstory (which I don't think they'll do) that ship has already sailed for her (at least in canon).

Given this thread's track record, i'd wonder if this is almost deserving of a full omake at this point, if that hasn't been done already at some point in the past 1832 pages. Would do it myself if I had the right ideas. :p
Alas, the reading of the last will and testament of Yui Ikari shall have to wait.

Who said they had to be dead?

It was a normal morning in Tokyo-3. The Keyword being "was." Asuka answers the door to find a relatively odd sight.

"Please sign here ma'am." Said a hefty looking man in a polo shirt and grey pants.

"What am I signing?" Asuka is doubtful. She's dealt with enough spy shenanigans that she wouldn't trust any mailman or package delivery. To the dismay of her lover and friends.

"Just an for a... Mikato katsuga?"

"It's Misato Katsuragi and I will sign for it." The recipient of the package responded. Asuka jumps at her surprise appearance.

"Thank you ma'am. Where do you want to put the packages?" The dull monotone voice of a man who seemingly is un-phased by the half dressed misato.

"Packages? Whats goin-" "Just put them in the third room down the hall."

The man leaves and gives a signal to he two guys near the truck. It was a massive semi-truck with tons of boxes. One by one, they unloaded into the room Misato said to. Asuka stared awe-struck at the amount of boxes. Eventually, the truck was emptied and that single room held every one. Well, almost every one...

"Sorry ma'am, the room's full and I can't afford to linger to long on this job. I'll leave this last box here for you."

"Fair enough, thank you."

The delivery man got into his truck with his two buddies and drove off. After a moment of silence, Asuka asked the obvious. "What was that about?!"

"Oh, I was just ordering a few things. Yui has been bugging me about getting a will ready, but I don't really have much to put on that will. I just need to find a lawyer willing to play ball and then I'll be ready to go."

"Play ball?"

"Look in the box."

Asuka moved towards the box carefully, as if it was a bomb ready to go off at any fast movement. Carefully she teared the tape holding the box closed. It was full of boots. Large, brown, studded, american cowboy boots. A look of disappointment lingered on Asuka's face.

"Really? This joke is older then you."

"Yeah, but its a classic. Besides, your not getting my boots."

"What am I getting?"

"Something equally useless..." Misato paused, trying to make it as dramatic as possible.

"My underwh-" Before she could finish, a brown leather boot of justice slammed into her head.
 
I have a question in regards to Mari Makinami in the rebuild series. Is it common for one to be energetic and Ax Crazy? For Mari, that gives the impression that her mind is messed up, yet she embraces it.
 
I dunno if you have seen the half-beast characters in Re: Zero season 2 yet, but Mari originally was part cat / jaguar / lynx and it was all US NERV's fault.
