True. But you could always need more ways to twist the plot and surprise us!
The best way to do that is by not knowing canon! That way I'll have misassumptions about your assumptions which in turn will result in your misassumptions about my assumptions! Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

If that doesn't make sense then yes.

[X] Now, this is all completely hypothetical. Let's say that things you need to tell me are about some sort of supernatural entity or such. If we were to assume that such things exists, what would be chances of them trying to telepathically communicate with me?
-[X]Ahahah, i mean it is obvious that something like is completely impossible and you would tell me if something dangerous is after me. Just asking to hear your thoughts on this matter, is all.

"Yeah," you say, shaking your head as you walk into the elevator. "Just a bit weird from the long train ride is all."

"..."

Your father says nothing, and the elevator doors shut quietly behind you.

As the two of you descend into the bowels of the city, the elevator's walls gradually fade into transparency. Before you, the true heart of Tokyo-3 slowly reveals itself -- upside-down skyscrapers hang into the geofront, and beams of light pierce into a landscape mysteriously covered in trees, a lake, and what even seems to be a mountain off into the distance.

How the hell did they manage to build this..?

--BZZTT--

--!!!

...Again!? It's the same as back then, a sense of doom pressing down on you, like--

--your father fishes out his phone annoyedly, the holographic screen flickering briefly into view before it winks out again as he presses the unit to his ear. "What is it?"

"... ..... ..., ... .. ....... .... .. ... ..... ......" You can barely hear the woman speaking on the opposite end of the line. "...... ........ ... ..... ... ..... ...... .. ...... ... ......"

"...Alright, I'll be right there." His tone is grim as he kills the connection and turns to you.

"Work?" You pre-empt him, not quite able to shake off the vague feeling of unease that only you seem to be feeling.

Your father nods uncomfortably at you -- an odd thing to associate with the man -- and pockets his phone. "Yes. It seems like I will have to leave you alone for tonight, Shinji."

"What can you do?" You shrug as you try to smile. "Busy, important man, am I right? Can't be helped."

He inclines his head. "I apologise. I had intended to take the evening to introduce you to the city, but..."


[x] "Don't worry about it. I'll survive."
[x] "If it bothers you that much, couldn't I just tag along..?"
[x] Write-in.

Sorry for the late update, guys. >< I've been really busy with settling RL things. There's a lot of work to be done when setting up a cafe, you know.

Next one will probably be really quick and really, really short.

Let's see what in the hell he does with his day. Or what excuse he'll throw at us.
 
I feel it pertinent to add a few points to the FAQs now.

@Skewfiend if you don't mind:

Q: Will there be giant robots?
A: Unfortunately not. This is not a mecha quest, and there will be no mechs of any kind featuring in this quest. Even human-sized ones.

Q: The Evangelions weren't actually robots, you know.
A: :facepalm: You will not be piloting or controlling any giant thing. Is that any clearer?

Q: Will there be angels?
A: There will be no angels of any sort, whether they are the eldritch abomination kind or the "hiding as normal human beings" kind.

Q: Wait, is Gendo actually nice?
A: :drevil:

Q: Wait, is Shinji actually a high-functioning member of society?
A: :drevil:

Shinji shall be genre savvy and ignore all possible plot hooks as they are likely to be hazardous to his health!

It'll be interesting to see Eva without the giant biomechs or the eldritch Angels. But hey, on a good note, we probably won't have to worry about outwitting SEELE and preventing Third Impact.

I just can't get over the oppressive sense of doom being a phone ringtone.

I want my phone to do that.
