[X][Home] District 23
Next to Rei is good, plus she's probably about as close to an alien as we're gonna get other than the angels :p

The only 'Peni' I can think of is Peni Parker from the Spiderverse stuff, and I'd be really surprised to see her. But the 'school dorms' option doesn't seem too bad in general though there might be all manner of inconveniences.

That girl needs company.

Except-

[][Home] District 23
Its been a while since I watched the anime, but doesn't Rei live in like a bombed out ruin?

Yes. Quite infamously. Her apartment complex isn't a bombed out ruin, but I suspect the only reason Rei has not been murdered in her sleep is that she's the only person living inside it after the Rats got the meth lab killed.

But she feeds the Rats, so she's safe. They recognize her as non-hostile, on order of the Great Rat King, who is about the size of a Doberman, for she fed him a slice of cheese when he was but a wee Rat Princeling.

Can't say Shinji would have the same luck.

...I suspect this option leads to us getting three roommates instead of two at Misato's place, because Rei legitimately lives in a near-condemned ghetto building, and I fully expect Shinji to run away screaming to Misato when she realizes the doors don't lock.

Why isn't any of this technology being used to make the world a better place?

There aren't enough mothers

Seeing the city start to come to life like this is…

Is…

Is what though? What is this feeling that is thrumming in your chest? You aren't sure. But you like the way that it feels.

Keep that feeling close, in this setting, you won't have many chances to feel good about anything.

You may refer to me as Father, Director, Supreme Commander, or some combination of the three.

I shall call you Supreme Tactical Director!

Look this is the only option that ensures a lot of penguin. And I want penguin. In fact one day I want a penguin piloting an EVA. Plus Misato is there too I guess. Lady needs someone.

AAAAAAAAAAAA GENDO IS SHOWING A TRACE OF HUMANITY!!!! He is treating the city like a model train set.
How dare he call us adequate as the first of the Children to develop an AAT Field!

Now of course, it is worth pointing out that Shinji may be misreading things here. The closest thing that Gendo did to emoting through all of this was leaning forward so that you could see his eyes.

He may be telling the truth. He may be lying out his ass. He may be trolling you. Its hard to tell

I'm good with any of these. We know what canon is like, District 23 will likely open up plot hooks about aliens Rei even if we don't stay there, and while Staff Housing does bring us closer to Gendo it does also mean we can hang with the bridge crew which might be neat.
 
Now... I'm of the opinion we should choose the school dorm for a few reasons.

One: If Rei's situation is how people are describing it... Well hopefully instead of moving in there with Rei we can have her move out to the school dorms and actually get her some friends and an actual home as well. If that makes sense or is possible of course.

Two: Just because we are choosing where we want to live does not mean we cannot visit and hang out at Misato's house. Honestly not living there but being friends and hanging out seems like a better thing for both Misato and Shinji.

Three: We can also hangout with the staff at Nerv as well. We are just choosing where we want to live ya know? Sure it might be harder or not be as viable otherwise but I'm sure Shinji would find time to talk with them about how everything at Nerv works like the space geek she is.

And Four: While I'm not sure if write-ins are allowed right now... I smell a potential shenanigans opportunities with Father's apartment.

-[X][Home] If it's okay with your Father, see about still being allowed to use his Apartment even if you won't be fully living there. Never know how useful a more private space would be ya know?

Hehehe- Of course this may not work or a legal vote but still- SHENANIGANS.
 
...I don't see why you not. That's a valid addition. Can't say for certain if it will pass Gendo's muster, but its worth a try I guess
 
Oh! Well I'll be!

NICE!

If papa director allows it that's a great boon to have! A private kitchen we can use, a safe space if we get overwhelmed and need a private moment, storage for all of the space geek stuff we wouldn't be able to fit in our dorm, a place for us to hangout with friends away as long as Father is okay with that (Gotta not step on his toes ya know?), and while I doubt Gendo would ever leave anything behind that's confidential, it would give us a chance to understand the man better and maybe foster a real relationship with him!

Dumb thought but if Shinji made sure the Apartment wasn't tapped... well where else would be a good place to hide an alien then in the home of NERV's director hmm? This is truly the perfect Shenanigans option-
 
Gah, it has just been pointed out to me on the discord that I called for a roll involving the question about why you aren't being allowed to work with Agent P.

I don't have the time to write up that scene today, since I am about to head into work, but I will try to get that added to the update sometime tomorrow.

I like this, it's very teenager. Dorms have people, which can be good, but an empty apartment would be great for when you want to be by yourself. Very logical for an introvert girl who is in a new place.

Meanwhile Gendo is thinking of all the worst case scenarios from his undergrad days and zany teen movies. His extremely rusty parenting skills are slowly working out that he should say something.

"Shinji, I forbid you from reenacting the plot of Risky Business in my apartment. The '80s were a very different time. Do not, under any circumstances, take my old records off the shelf."
 
I'd describe Penni as being something between an homage and an expy. Do not expect any plot points or entities from Marvel to show up.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess Peni is the Heavy Mechanics mech pilot.
Peni: Well, technically speaking I'm not a mech pilot, but...
  • Rei needs the company but Shinji hasn't met her yet we don't know if there's any notable differences, also again "Spartan", but we could probably meet her on our own eventually.
  • Misato's place, it's the canon, but also Misato is an adult disaster of a woman, cute penguin though.
  • Gendo's place, on the one hand probably very nice due to his station, on the other he's probably the main target for several spy rings and also his own surveillance and whoever else is there.
  • School dorm, potential for socializing and separate from both work and "family" so relatively private, unless Peni's a plant.
  • Nerv Staff Housing, close to "work" and good for knowing what's going on more thoroughly but kind of isolating from the rest of Tokyo Novus but also a lot of exposure to Gendo.
Edit: Also the thing with the girl with the phone and the waving is cute and also I wonder if the reason the elevators feel so bad is because it's Rei whose been using them and has never complained about it.
These are all interesting points to bring up, and they do have merits to them. On the front of Penny being a plant, I'm pretty sure she's a mammal. And you could arguably call everyone involved in the HIP a plant of some kind, since the program is under the control of the Artificial Intelligences that NERV has, but there's no reason to assume she's any more of a plant than anyone else.
I shall call you Supreme Tactical Director!
Father: If Misato didn't have such an utterly terrible sense of direction, she might have been on the short list for the title of Supreme Tactical Director, but for the time being that title actually belongs to Deputy Director Fuyutsuki.

I wish to see the aliens Father.
Father: You will have chance enough to see Sachiel again in the future.

Yes. Quite infamously. Her apartment complex isn't a bombed out ruin, but I suspect the only reason Rei has not been murdered in her sleep is that she's the only person living inside it after the Rats got the meth lab killed.

But she feeds the Rats, so she's safe. They recognize her as non-hostile, on order of the Great Rat King, who is about the size of a Doberman, for she fed him a slice of cheese when he was but a wee Rat Princeling.

Can't say Shinji would have the same luck.

...I suspect this option leads to us getting three roommates instead of two at Misato's place, because Rei legitimately lives in a near-condemned ghetto building, and I fully expect Shinji to run away screaming to Misato when she realizes the doors don't lock.
Gendo: If you believe the Rat King is the size of a Doberman, then at best you have seen one of the 108 Rat Viscounts.
 
Father: If Misato didn't have such an utterly terrible sense of direction, she might have been on the short list for the title of Supreme Tactical Director, but for the time being that title actually belongs to Deputy Director Fuyutsuki.

Hey so long as someone has to live with their official NERV position spelling out STD in happy, but I personally would prefer it to be Gendo.

I don't have the time to write up that scene today, since I am about to head into work, but I will try to get that added to the update sometime tomorrow.

Until that happens, I'll just figure that the reason we're not allowed to work with Agent P is that O.W.C.A. can't afford the insurance to work alongside human agents.
