We are going to remind him of Yui all the time.

Until he breaks.

I am here, but I have no idea on how to run the tally program thing.
Just download it and mess around a little. It's intuitive.

[X] Is the dramatic entrance a normal thing or are you just trying to make a good impression? Cause you certainly haven't been doing that for most of my life. Or you know...even visited me at all.

Guys we should have made Gendo have a heart attack and maybe increase our understanding/empathy!

I'm so ashamed of you all.
 

"Heh." A small chuckle escapes your throat as you adjust your bag strap absently. "Well, you certainly know how to make an ominous entrance."

His countenance stiffens barely perceptibly before it relaxes again as he strides towards you. "And you've grown to be a pretty ballsy brat. How have you been, Shinji?"

"Not too bad, all things considering." You shrug, then smile a bit. "I mean, my Mom's dead, and my Dad never even visited me or anything, but... it's nice to finally see you, I guess."

An odd expression flits across his face, obvious even behind the orange-tinted lenses covering his eyes, and his voice is... a little bit odd when he speaks next. "Curious, how closely you've grown to resemble your mother despite all that."

"..." ...and you're honestly not sure how to react to that. Even though you've placed obvious barbs in your words, it wasn't like you had actually ever... missed your real parents or anything. That's not to say that your aunt and uncle who raised you are the ones to have filled that gap; they're a pretty young couple, and they've always seemed more like... cousins, or something.

"...Well, come along then. I'll show you where you'll be staying for the next few years."

Just like that, the moment passes, and you follow beside him as he leads you inside. "You're not gonna give me any explanations, are you?"

"There are certain reasons why I can't tell you yet," he agrees. "But perhaps one day."

The two of you walk in, and head towards what are obviously the elevators. As you wait, you speak up again. "...You know, it's gonna be pretty weird calling you 'Dad'."

"...You're not wrong."

--.....!!
.... ... .... . .. .......--


--!!!

...Again!? Although it's a different feeling from the jolt at the train station, this... Just what is going on..?

And then the sound of a bell chimes through the air, interrupting your musings, and the elevator doors open. Your father walks in ahead of you, then looks over his shoulder. "Well, are you coming?"


[x] "...Yeah. Sorry."
[x] Write-in : "Yeah, just a bit weird from the long train ride is all."

Congratulations, the winning vote partially unlocked one of the status tabs on the front page, and earned you 1 point of Imagination.
 
[X] Sure...
-[X] Also call Gendo father, you dont know him well enough to call him Dad.

Why are we apologizing anyway, we did not do anything wrong. In my opinion it's better to curb Shinjis habit of apologising to everyone and everything early on.
 
:oops: It's a habit I picked up IRL, and this Shinji shares a lot of traits with me. Shinji isn't spineless or anything. Obviously.

Welp sorry if I offended you, i just believe that one should apologize only when the situation warrants it. If one apologizes for everything than a real apology coming from them will have less meaning.

I use a different tone for my casual apologies and for... serious apologies.

People can tell, because with serious apologies I usually tack on a short speech before or after. Also, body language.

Well, you guys got a rank up to your imagination. Not bad. I didn't realise that you guys were almost Rank 4.

Hmm, so attributes start at 1 then increase by for every 5 points?
Nah. Ranks use a weird formula.

The value gives you whatever the attribute is supposed to do, but ranks will determine the element's bonus damage, and other things that are hidden in the black box.
