Well hello everyone it seems that it's time once again for Adpetus Evangelion Quest: A Knight Does Not Die With An Empty Hand.

Last time on AdEva quest our main character Samantha moved into her pilot's quarters in the house of the old caretaker Lorenso. She them met her fellow pilots, and managed to traumatize one of them. The next day she accompanied Terrance, one of the pilots, to school and experienced what a pilot academy is like, which amounted to nearly being beaten in the ranking tournament on the first day.

Today? Who knows...

Rolling will be based on a d100 system. Up to three rolls will be counted and averaged for the total number. The system was suggested last thread and I like it.

Also I made you all a few maps my map making skills are horrendous to clarify the positioning of some things. Now, I will post them and wait a few minutes to get this show on the road.

Also I just posted the thread without the name and trip, and had to delete it... three times. So I might not be on my best game tonight! But lets hope!

Our Eva is stored at 1, and we live in the township on one of the building clinging to the upper dome. It probably halfway between the pinnacle and the base.

Yes I did, also this is three people. Let us get the show on the road. I will post the last thing we did last thread and give you all options on what to do next. Prepare for incoming text wall.

Samantha looked at the back of the boys head. Walking slowly towards him she sat on the far side of the bench. Nicolas did not even look up, and she saw what he was doing. In his lap a small bag was filled with the food Lorenso had made them for breakfast. He was pulling off strips and throwing it to the one solitary duckling in front of him.

The bird gobbled up the bread, flapping its wings each time. Samantha saw a smile on Nicolas’s face, not the one filled with gleeful rage from inside the Eva, instead it was a much simpler, gentler one. Samantha just sat there for a minute, unwilling to disturb the exchange. Eventually the food disappeared and Nicolas straightened up. Looking sideway he caught sight of Samantha, his face pled and he tried to back away off the bench.

“Wait, stop. I’m trying to make amends.” Nicolas did not seem to hear her, and instead fell off the bend in his haste, nearly falling a top the duckling. The bird flapped its wings indignantly and headed back towards the water. Samantha stood up, and walked over slowly. She tried to keep a smile on her face, how was the boy she had seen tear apart those beasts so weak outside his evangelion. How could one person change so much.

She held out her hand to him, the duck had made it all the way back to the water. Nicolas starred at the hand in terror, and for a few moments they stood frozen, Samantha unwilling to back down. Finally he reached up to grip her hand, allowing himself to be picked up. A shaft of sunlight fell upon his face, the eye that had gone blood shot during the battle was still stained red. Now it was a dull shade of pink behind the lens.
>>
>>22592306

"I'm sorry Nicolas. I didn't mean to remind you of anything or hurt you when I drew that. If I knew I would have never made it. I was trying to show my appreciation, when I was fighting you were there with me, and I liked not being alone out there. If you want I could show you a nicer portrait next time." Nicolas stood there, starring at his feet. Shuffling back to the bench he sat back down.

“It’s ok. The person you saw in the suit though was not me. I do not like who I become.” Samantha came forward, grabbing his hands and pulling them upwards. She held one against her chest and placed a hand against his.

“Why not? You fight well, you saved me. That’s something to be proud of.
The heart of a knight beats in my chest, and I think it does in yours too.” Nicolas pulled his hand away, and shied from her touch. His pale face was now stained red.

“I-I’m not a knight. I am a m-monster. I save, but I destroy. People die because I can not control m-myself, like Natalia or Terrance. They only keep me because it takes a monster to k-kill another.” Samantha looked at him, pity on her face. She stood up, puffing out her chest.

“Well, it’s a knights job to tame monsters then isn’t it! If you think you have a monster in you, then let me help slay it. Together we can make a knight of you yet.” Nicolas looked up, his teeth gritted, he looked about to say something, but bit his tongue. Instead a few tears welled on his face, to run down slowly.

The two stayed in silence for nearly a minutes as the tears rolled down Nicolas’s face.
>>
>>22592337

“Maybe... maybe you can show me a nicer portrait next time,” Nicolas stood up, this time his face was a bit more determined, the color returned. With a bitter tone in his voice he said one last thing before turning back to the school, “If you can slay this monster, then you really are a knight.”

Since the fist is some kind of mutant king kong, I'm betting it's B Movie Angels. Expecting an Angel that came from Black Lagoon.

>>22592686
I'm hoping for more knightly angels, m'self. Like, if OP manages to get the Green Knight into this, I'd probably have to suck his cock.
Of course, whatthefuck is still a mainstay of Eva.
>>
>>22592854
Since we are supposed to be the knight shouldnt we be fighting eldritch monstrosity type angels?
>>
>>22592739
Well, if we're a knight, then there has to be a dragon at some point.

Samantha looked as Nicolas’s retreating back as he started along one of the paths. Normally when put into a situation like this, confronted with an individual that acted anywhere bear this, she would have punched him in the mouth and shouted to suck it up. However, that just didn’t seem like it was going to work with Nicolas, and it wasn’t as if he couldn’t fight, he just wished he couldn’t. Breaking into a jog, Samantha caught up with him. When she did he didn’t look up, but get his eyes firmly on the broken concrete strewn across the ground. Eventually Samantha spoke up.

“Why do you feed the ducks?” Nicolas stayed silent, and Samantha thought he might not have heard her. They walked for a few seconds, she waiting for a response of some kind, and just before she repeated her question, he spoke.

“I don’t feed ducks, just one. His name is Arnold. I feed him before the other ducks do not like him, and if I did not bring him food he would probably starve before they do not let him have anyway.” Samantha cast her eyes to the sky. Oh no, he was even projecting. In a normal situation she would be have already punched him, probably twice, but there was something about the glasses, and the meek demeanor. It was like if she even touched him he would break.

The rest of the walk was spent in silence, heading back to the school. The couples who had been along the path before seemed to have disappeared, and above some of the large demiclouds had made it to the photostrips to obscure the artificial light. The school seemed to have become deserted as well, and they made it all the way into the basement chambers before seeing anyone. The instructor stepped out of the dueling room, face crimson with anger.
>>
>>22592974
“Nicolas! Where the hell were you? I told you that your match would be in twenty minutes and you go off and nearly scive. Now get over there and get in your plug suit, Terrance is already ready!” Samantha perked up, after having caught some of the projected gloom of Nicolas, Terrance and him fighting each other? This might be interesting.

Samantha went back into the crowd at the base of the monitor and starred up at the screen, after a minute Nicolas came out in his plug suit. Him and Terrance entered the capsule together, and a few second later their Evangelions formed on the screen. The look on Nicolas’s face when he had gone in was changed, the sad demeanor replaced by fury. His tears gone and a steel glare in its place.

Both of the weapon selections clicked down to none, and the evangelions starred at each other as the start counter ticked down. The moment it hit zero Nicolas crouched down onto all fours and sprung forward. In the air halfway to Terrance another one of his dirac orbs appeared. It swung toward Nicolas’s evangelion, and Samantha cringed preparing for it to be decimated like the other, but before it could Nicolas’s jaw open. From over the speakers a bestial roar echoed, and his jaw closed around the orb.

The A.T. field generated was strong enough to be visible, and seemingly centered around the roar itself. It came out of his mouth like the crash of thunder and corroded the ball. It began to shrivel, chunks fading away into smoke. Nicolas’s mouth close around it to tear off chunks, eating them. How was this even possible? Another of the attacks appeared and shot toward’s Nicolas’s side. A hand shot out, another A.T. expanding with it, to grab it, squeezing to crush the ball in its bear hands.

Around Samantha people had begun to shout. Apparently this was the main attraction of the day. Most of the assembled crowd seemed to be routing for Terrance, but a few roared Nicolas’s name, including Jonathan.

Also, as for the Angel types. I have been reading up on Arthurian mythology. I was thinking of that, plus celtish, plus old Norse (not the gods, more their beasts and what not, trolls and the like) to be the main source of concepts.

An entire swarm of dirac balls were coursing across the field. Samantha chimed in on the cheering, adding her voice to the minority that routed for Nicolas. Each time one approached Nicolas he would turn to roar, expanding an A.T. field from his open jaw to rip apart the deadly weapon. Samantha had though Nicolas was a pure juggernaut, with no special A.T. powers to speak of, but that roar was something else. Nicolas had broken into his stride again, and was circling around Terrance, leaping between buildings to dodge the dirac balls.

Terrance on the other hand hovered slowly, his hands, unlike before where they had simply lay limp at his sides, were cast before him to direct his attack. It was a game of cat am mouse, Nicolas dodging between the traps being lain for him. Samantha watched as one of the dirac balls went into the ground, unseen by Nicolas. It traveled downwards under the city street to come to rest in the center of a crossroads. Several of the other balls formed together, the black substance undulating as they coalesced into a single entity.

This giant orb hashed out, small ribbons trying to catch Nicolas. It chased him towards the crossroads where the orb lay in way. Samantha almost shouted something, trying to warn him of the danger, but realized how silly it would be. Even if she did shout like an idiot there was no way he’d be able to hear it. Each leap took him closer to the trap, Samantha clenched her teeth when he went over, hardly daring to look. However instead of a yelp of pain, another roar chimed. Aiming downwards, Nicolas had expanded an A.T. under him with his open maw. Somehow he had known that a trap lay in way, the city street crumbled revealing the dirac weapon. It melted away under the force, and the power of the blast jettisoned Nicolas into the air.
>>
>>22593489
Flying above the battle field he aimed another roar towards the great ball, and with it dissipating nearly all of Terrance’s weapons were gone. When Nicolas touched earth each hand dug into the buildings on other side of him, and his feed crushed concrete below. Pushing off he threw himself at top speed towards Terrance, his body was a blur, like a bullet from the barrel.

Terrance’s feet touched ground, his hands waving in front of him to try and form another ball, but before he could Nicolas struck. his shoulder impacted the frame, and both hands began to tear away at Terrance’s armor. Arms strained as he peeled away an enormous steel plate and started to rip at the flesh beneath. Terrance, despite being attacked so viscously, managed to form another dirac ball, which began to devour Nicolas’s body. it was a race against time, to who would die first.

Before Terrance could consume all of Nicolas, despite making it to nearly his waist, a hand closed around some vital. With a sickening pop Nicolas held up something, the still beating heart of an evangelion, pouring blood across the city streets. The screen blackened, and the words “Victor: Nicolas” appeared.

“Why did Terrance have to lose! He won last time.” said one of the girls in the class. On the catwalk the two of them climbed from their plugs. Nicolas’s face had fallen again, but Terrance seemed happy, a grin plastered across his.

“You know they’re always trading off, Terrance will win the next fight.” The two shook hands before coming down.The two of them seemed to be talking, or rather Terrance seemed to be talking and Nicolas occasionally saying a few words. The girls were starring at the exchange with looks of malice on their faces.
>>
>>22593503
“Why does he have to be friends with that loser, always moping around during class. I don’t even know how he can be a good pilot when he’s always just a bitch.” Two of the other girls laughed as her joke. Samantha scowled, but tried to keep down her temper. Remeber what she had said to Edwards, no picking fights.

[ ] Go congratulate Nicolas on his victory.
[ ] Go console Terrance on his loss.
[ ] Go to neither, fuck those guys... the dicks...
[ ] Confront those bitches.
[ ] Other

So it seems like they're of about equal strength. The Dragon and the Beast, who knew?
>>
>>22593527
Okay, as much as I would like to congratulate Nicolas he doesn't like who he is in the Eva, so don't remind him of it by bringing it up.

Go to Terrance and Nicolas, talk about something non Eva related, like any hobbies that either of them have.

>>22593311
Black Mesa Janitor had a thread listing different kinds of custom evas that would give a basic level of role specialization in the context of a "tree of life" prerequisite-point-buy system. AdEva 3.0 will at least have weapons-platform evas.

Of the girls in the class there do not seem to be a lot besides you and Natalia who aren't drooling over Terrance. However there is two others. One being a rather small girl who wears glasses, sits up in the front of the class. The other is a much tougher looking girl, angry glare, long black hair warning:possible tsundere.

They were both routing for Nicolas.

>>22593527
Congratulating nick seems like a very shitty idea.
Actually, talking about the God-Machines seems like a bad idea in general. And what sort of knight cared about the thoughts and actions of unvirtuous women anyways?

I'm here, I wore >>22593590 and vote for it.

>>22593700

Terry seems fine either way, Nick doesn't like to talk about his job and we aren't supposed to pick fights. Any other convo at this point would be forced as well.

I vote we go have a chat with the remaining team-mate we have access to. We need to have the honor and duty chat with her, since we seem to not be 100% yet.

As a soldier, I think that she would appreciate us being upfront and honest, so that we know where we stand with each other.

1 - Confront the bitches.

Meh. He's part of the team. If they were better pilots they would be instead, and then their opinions would MATTER.

Remember, part of being a Knight is dealing with jealous peasents who don't understand danger and hardship on their behalf.

.... That theme's better the more I think about it.
>>
Samantha detached herself from the crowd, it would be her turn soon anyway. The student were not taught to be bashful around each other, being pilots meant that at a moment’s notice they would be forced to strip and put on plug suits in order to defend humanity, and so there was not much time to be bashful when it could mean the end of days. Terrance came out first, still wearing the smile on his face. Samantha looked up to his eyes, despite the showing teeth they still showed the cold visage of a predator. A moment later he seemed to notice it, and the look softened to something a bit more friendly.

“Well hello there Sam,” Terrance glanced over his shoulder to where Nicolas was still changing. The arm that had been in the sling hung near uselessly at his side, Samantha marveled that he had been able to use it while inside an evangelion at all. Taking the suit off was a slow process with only one appendage. Terrance lowered his voice to a whisper, “Don’t talk about the match please, that was about as fierce as I have ever seen him. If I didn’t know any better I would have thought someone had riled him up.” Terrance gave a quick wink followed by a grin.

“I saw you two coming back together, what was it, a quick stroll through the grounds.” Samantha was about to say something to deny it, but before she could Terrance burst out laughing. Behind him Nicolas looked up and noticed Samantha, his face reddened, but he didn’t try to cover himself.

“Don’t worry, I’m only joking,” leaning in again he dropped his voice to a whisper, “I’m not sure out little Nicky would have it in him anyway.” Nicolas had finally finished his dressing, and was having trouble getting on his sling. Terrance tutted, but walked over to help him out.
>>
>>22594176
“Really, you gotta stop acting so frail in front of the girls. You know this is why they always don’t like you.” Nicolas cast his eyes away from Samantha, trying to not look at her.
“It’s not like I enjoy what they say.” A awkward silence permeated the room, Terrance looking from Nicolas to Samantha. Then a grin broke out on his face. Finally, once he finished pulling on the sling, he stood up and looked at the two of them, hands on his hips.

“You know what? We’re all pilots here, and we need to start acting like it.” A finger pointed at Samantha, “Now, after school before heading over to NERV me and Nicky here head over to Eureka to lunch. You’re going with us today, got it?” Samantha looked at him in a slight panic, if all those girls saw her leaving with Nicolas and Terrance. Well... they might be the ones picking fights, not her. Arriving this morning with him had already gotten the lot riled up, throwing her dirty looks when they thought she wouldn’t notice. Nicolas didn’t seem to like the idea either, his face growing even more pale than it already was. However before either of them could say a word Terrance held up a hand.

“Nope; I won’t hear anything of it,” said Terrance, and without another word he left the room. Samantha could have sworn she saw a slightly odd smile on his face as he passed her. Next Nicolas shot her a look, but didn’t say a thing. Sighing, Samantha went back out to the plugs, for her next match. The rest of the day went well, her hardest match had been by far Jonathan, who next to the actual pilots seemed the most skilled. The ranking tournament took most of the day, and by the time they got back the instructor only managed to squeeze in a half an hour lesson on the history of the Second Impact, saying that the first thing they would be covering was the Ikari incident.

>>22594186

After class, as everyone was packing up Terrance walked over to Samantha’s desk. Over his shoulder he flicked a thumb at Nicolas. From across the room Samantha could feel the glares of half a dozen girl drilling into her.

“Well then, will you join us?” Nicolas had just finished closing the clasp on his bag, and upon hearing this refused to look around.

I'd let rider do as she pleases to me, but that's beside the point.

>>22594400

Personal taste aside, said character was a sociopath or at least borderline. He raped, and intended to MURDER ALL OF HIS FRIENDS by having a super-human he controlled EAT THEM to give him a better chance of winning.

The more important point is how Terrance is giving the exact same vibe, from the 'evil and hiding it' hints and the 'incredibly polite, charming and civil' mask.
>>
>>22594481
If he is evil though, Terrance is MUCH better at hiding it. Because the Matou boy was always a bit of a creep. Terrance just seems a bit... off.
>>
>>22594481
Also repeated raped his adopted sister. For years. Because he was jealous that she was a potentially god-tier magus, and he had no potential whatsoever.

I hated him more for that than for Blood Fort.
>>
>>22594536

Shinji was actually incredibly popular and well liked by most people at the school the only people who knew something was 'off' were Shirou (Eventually), Sakura (Who he raped), Rin (Who distrusted him on principal), and Ayako (Who he stalked/raped/beat/something after she was already weirded out by how he was obsessing over her).
>>
>>22594585
I meant that Terrance isn't setting off as many alarms as Shinji did in my head. Terrance is still setting alarms off, but not to the level of "ABORT! ABORT! THIS GUY IS A CREEPY MOTHERFUCKER! DO NOT TRUST HIM!" like I got off of Shinji. Although the mention of him in the prologue probably primed me for it.

“Come on Nicolas, we do need to get to know each other better,” said Samantha. If they were going to go, might as well make the best of it. The muttering from the girls section seemed to get worse, and Samantha heard more than a few derogatory terms come from them. The look on Terrance’s face darkened, and he stood up from the desk, his eyes cold.

“Excuse me for a moment.” Walking over to the girls, his good natured smile reaffixed itself on his face. All the girls brightened up as he came over, trying to look their best for their lord and master. Nicolas stood up, his bag held in front of him, and a confused look on his face.

“What’s he doing?” said Nicolas, more to himself than Samantha. One of the girls stood up, and the others followed suit to gather around Terrance like usual, but before she could he held out a hand. When he spoke his voice wasn’t the pleasant one as before, but spiteful and full of malice.

“It seems like you all have been saying a fair few things about my friends. Now, I pride myself on being a gentleman, but that same code of conduct can’t allow me to idly watch as someone cuts my own to rebids. All of you, and I mean all of you. Those two put their lives on the line every time an angel come, they fight for your lives. If anything you should be given them words of praise, not what ever you have been doing,” his face brightened again, the cold stare disappearing. A few of the girls looked close to tears.

“If I ever hear one of you insult my friends again, then our brief stint of exchanging pleasantries will come to an end. Now goodbye, I must make my leave.” Terrance grabbed his back off the desk, and motioned for them to come along. Nicolas followed quickly, but Samantha had to finish packing her bag before she left.
>>
>>22594686
The moment Terrance left the room the girls all turned in unison, but none of them so much as opened their mouths. Wow, they really were that afraid of Terrance. If this was enough to keep them at bay then it was good enough for her.

Catching up with the others, Samantha followed them all the way back to the rail station. All the other students had left, some of them, the younger ones, had parents come to get them. The older ones milled around in groups, a few carrying brief cases and equipment. In the sky the photostrips had already begun to darken. Finally when they finished climbing the stairs to the rail platform, and were scanning their NERV I.D. cards did Nicolas pipe up.

“Terrance, why did you do that?” he asked. His hand was firmly closed around the handle of his bag, enough to whiten even his pale fingers. Turning around, Terrance smiled and pointed back towards the school.

“What we do in their is not important,” In the mid afternoon light he building reflected the light. In the distance behind it several large cooling silos, purposed for keeping the evangelion simulators function, sat belching steam into the sky, “What we do, as a team is. None of them, except for maybe Jonathan, could every hope for becoming a evangelion pilot. Their opinions in the grand scheme of things are just dust in the wind, and why should we bother ourselves with them. I know it hurts you to hear them Nicky, so might as well just shut them up entirely? Right?”

Terrance turned back around, in the distance NERV 07 rose high into the air. It was a semi egg shaped building embedded into the side of the Gerofront, several tracts lead into the ceiling where the Evangelions could be launched. Even now Samantha’s evenglion was being prepped there. Maybe Terrance wasn’t so bad after all, he did seem to value the team over his petty girls. When he spoke again his voice was bright and cheerful.
>>
>>22594696
“Now, where should we eat? Honestly I’m not feeling ramen today,” a finger pointed to Samantha “The new girl should make the decision! So, what will it be?” They sat down on the train while she was still considering, despite himself Nicolas has brightened up.

>This is freeform, where do you want to eat?
>Also, if there are any questions you want to ask either of them while on the train, then you may do so. I can accommodate probably three total questions.
>>
>>22594705
dude. Fucking mexican. git sum.
>>
>>22594700
I think someone might be in the wrong thread...

>>22594705
Does anyone else feel like the only reason that Terrance did that was... I don't know... because he thinks we're more interesting prey? I feel like we present more intrigue and so he shut them up to get close to us. What he did was nice, but we should still be wary of him.
>>
>>22594705

"Dammit, I was going to suggest Ramen actually." Hesitate. "Anything like an Applebees around here? I hate fastfood."

Assuming the school has the same real purpose as canon, I can't wait to see his reaction when he finds out.

>>22594733

Nearest department store. Hit the food hall in the basement levels, get a nice spread, then take it up to the roof for an impromptu picnic.
>>
>>22594835
They stated straight up that this was a school for training pilots. I think he means that none of them are as good as the team except for Jonathan.

I mean they were having us go in and out of plugs and fight each other. I think everything is pretty out in the open.

Hmm, I'm thinking TexMex, we're in California after all. Burritos and the like.

Also sit next to Nicolas on the train. He's calmed down, but if he gets skittish offer him our hand to hold.

First, thank Terrence for what he did, it was kind of him. Then ask Terrence why, if he doesn't seem to care that much about the other students, he maintains a group of followers.

Ask both of them if they have any hobbies or anything like that.

Ask Nicolas if he's doing okay.

Take a look around while we're on the train, maybe sketch a few things.

>>22595014
No. We might draw him with what we see under his expression, but an evil mustache is crass. The goal of our art is to cut to the truth of the matter, not add stuff like that. We might draw his smile as hollow, but we don't add extraneous things.
>>
>>22595054
Eh, I say we treat him dignity and respect until he shows his hand.
>>
>>22595054

It was a joke. It's like we draw a group portrait, and after we're done we notice that we've drawn him.... evil.

We should also ask the other girl whose name I can't remember if she gets the 'rapey' vibes off Terrance. She may or may not be girly, but she should still have feminine instincts enough to warn her of an incoming surprise penis.
>>
>>22595280
Natalia, and she won't might not have feminine instincts having removed them and replaced them entirely with soldiery instincts. She's an extreme example of a NeoSpartan from what we've seen so far.
>>
>>22595232

I was thinking more like him panicking over how to fix it, and punching us to death in front of a confused/horrified/aroused Terrance yelling 'WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING I DON'T UNDERSTAND'.
>>
>>22595280
I don't think Natalia would be the best to ask considering she seems to be at the Sousuke Sagara/Heero Yuy level of "not good with people".

“Do they have anything like Applebees?” Terrance looked confused for a second, then brightened up. The three of them walked towards the train. The interior was crowded by the sudden rush from passengers from school, but they managed to find themselves some seats near the back. Terrance sat on one side, and Samantha sat next to Nicolas on the other.

“Applebees, that used to be some kind of restaurant before the Second Impact, right? Seems like someone has a liking for history, or odd food, or both. Either way, I believe we can find something suited for her highness’s tastes,” Terrance grinned before letting out a chuckle at his own joke. The train began moving, outside the trees whipped by. As the train moved they passed other buildings, service roads, and the occasionally armed watch tower. The entire floor of the Geofront was covered with either NERV or US military operatives.

After the Ikari incident the governments of the world hadn’t been so eager to simply let NERV run wild, and while some wanted to keep the status quo the President had other ideas. Government inspections, funding cuts, and viscous investigations followed after the infamous day the world almost ended. Samantha found herself starring out the window, remembering the old videos she had been made to watch as a child. Next to her Terrance and Nicolas were already speaking.

“You really didn’t need to do that Terrance,” said Nicolas, but before he could finish stuttering his way through the sentence Terrance raised his hand.

“Nonsense, friends and comrades come before commoners.” Samantha watched the two’s exchange, and a thought sprouted into her head.

“How long have you two known each other?” The two exchanged glances, waiting for the other to answer. Terrance laughed and began.
>>
>>22595464
“Three years ago we were both transferred to the academy. Someone seemed like he was a bit down in the dumps, so of course I wanted to pick the guy up. Turns our we both loves footballs. Or at least,” Terrance leaned over and punched Nicolas in the arm, who yelped and rubbed his sore shoulder, “Some liked talking about it! I thought you were going to play with me, but no.” Shrugging, Terrance leaned back in his seat.

“Been friends ever since, still can’t get the bugger to play football, but I suppose he’s too damn interesting for me to just let him go. Also we both seem to have a penchant for games, even if Lorenso won’t buy us anything younger than we are. Also someone has to be around to hold him together when the girls start being vicious.” Nicolas tried to pretend like he wasn’t paying attention, pulling out his phone to mess with it. The screen flicked between several news sites.

“Hows you doing anyone?” asked Samantha, leaning over, “Those girls didn’t get to you too badly did they?” Nicolas’s head whipped around, and he shoved the screen of his phone against his lap to hide it.

“No, they always do that. I-it really doesn’t matter. I’m used to is b-by now.” Samantha’s shoulder pressed against Nicolas’s when she leaned in, and his face turned from pale to bright red. Across from them Terrance grinned. Samantha leaned back again, knowing he wouldn’t let her catch a glimpse of what ever was on there.

“Anyway, where is Natalia? I noticed you didn’t invite her along.” Terrance’s mile turned slightly sour and he shrugged.
>>
I APOLOGIZE, BOTH OF THESE ARE ME.
>>22595500
>>22595464

“Well, she doesn’t do much besides school and NERV. I expect by now she’s already over there running tests. If it wasn’t for Lorenso forcing us back hope, well, I’d expect she’d sleep there too. Every time I’ve invited her she refuses to come along.” The soul smile disappeared, “But maybe you can help with that! Come on, do it for me? Maybe if another girl asks she might be a little more willing.” The rest of the conversation dissolved into discussion of the ranked matches. After what Terrance did to the girls Nicolas seemed comfortable enough to discuss them as a whole, as long as none of them went into details on his matches.

They made it to something quite like Applebees, Pearcees Yes, I went there, deal with it, and after the meal Terrance dropped the NERV credit card into the bin, saying it might as well be on his tab since he invited them.

“Now, we probably have a bit of time before we’re supposed to report for duty training. I suspect that they’ll be wanting calibrations out of you Sam. We could show you around a bit, or head on there now.”

No, but he defiantly killed people he wasn't supposed to.

Can't think of any inappropriate sexual anything, discounting that thing with Guin actually.

“I’d like to see the city how a--” At this Terrance leapt from his chair and held out a hand to Samantha. His smile had gone from good natured to almost comically corny, and he swept his other hand out in front of him. Both Samantha and Nicolas were starring at him as if he was crazy.
“It would be an honor to show such a lovely lady around you fair city,” from the corner of his mouth he shot a loud whisper at Nicolas, “Right Nicky, an honor right?” Nicolas nodded nervously, obvious not quite sure what was going on, but in his haste to stand up to join Terrance he tripped, and nearly knocked Terrance over as well. Despite herself Samantha broke out laughing as the two disentangled from each other. Terrance took the lead as they went outdoors.

The city really was amazing, before coming to San Francisco Samantha had never seen a real Geofront. The one in New Seattle was still under construction and wouldn’t be done for at least another five years. High above them over a thousand steel towers extended down from the dome. They pointed through the floor at varying angles to form a hanging city. Only the stuff at the pinnacle was actually retracted and could move from upper city the lower city, the rest that made up the town of Eureka Valley spent its entire time under the earth.

High above permanent metal walkways, some as wide as streets, strung their way between the towers. Samantha could just make out the tiny dots of humans scurrying along them, she wasn’t sure where, but somewhere within the forest of iron their apartment was situated. Several rails extended outwards from this hanging city to come downwards into the proper town. Terrance noticed her starring upwards.

“Impressive isn’t it?” Samantha realized how long she had been starring and tore her eyes away, a bit embarrassed. Nicolas had a weak grin on his face. To Samantha’s surprise it was him who spoke up.
>>
>>22596160
“I guess I’ve just been around it so long I don’t notice it anymore. I mean; I’ve lived here for three years now. After a while it just gets normal,” he shrugged, and looked upwards too, “It is kinda nice though.” Terrance slapped him on the back, and Nicolas was sent stumbling forwards spluttering.

“That’s the spirit Nicky, finally coming out of your shell in front of a girl I see. Maybe I was write when I thought something happened between you two out in the gardens,” A eye brow was raised towards Samantha. nicolas seemed about to join in, but she managed to cut him off. Two could play at this game.

“Yes, of course we were doing something. We’re known each other for a whole twenty four hours now. I’d be rude of me not to.” Terrance starred back, and behind him Nicolas stood shocked. His laughter this time was enough to cause a few people to stare, and even Nicolas let out some weak chuckles. The rest of their journey through the city streets went well, even if Samantha’s comment seemed to have caused Nicolas to retreat back into his shell.

The lower district seemed almost entirely devoted to commerce, and the part attached to the dome was where people actually lived. Dozens of cars traveled the roads and people pushed past each other in the streets. The town contained all the support NERV needed, places for their employees to live and relax when not on work hours. THey saw more than a few military convoys make their way along, large humvees filled with men who were far too armed. if they had only known that a couple of Eva pilots were less than a dozen feet away from them. They might have even gotten solutes.
>>
>>22596171
Dozens of restaurants, clubs, and office building dotted the landscape. It would have taken a long time to see it all, but their group made it through most of downtown until Terrance stopped them.

“Now, I’m needed for a physical. The station is right through there,” he pointed to an access tunnel leading up to the trains, “So you two could either come along, or maybe I should leave the love birds alone?” Nicolas shriveled next to Samantha.

[ ] Stay in the city by yourself
[ ] Go to NERV
[ ] Stay with Nicolas

Now, we can make this decision and I will do a short blurb before stopping for the day. Unfortunately the thread didn't go s well due to the whole 4chan crashing for a little while. Maybe on Wednesday we can do better.

Also I now have a schedule everyone.

The thread will go on Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday from 22:00-2:00 4chan time for writing, then after writing I will answering questions and doing discussion. If you all have problems with this schedule feel free to voice them; I am flexible and willing to change it.

[X] Stay with Nicolas

Let's hang out with him for a bit. We can sketch our current view before heading to NERV for calibrations and giving our Eva a hug.

[ ] Stay with future rape victim.

It's cool. Bad days happen.

Also everyone, I archived the thread. If it isn't too much trouble I would love you if you voted.

>>22596160
>“Right Nicky, an honor right?” Nicolas nodded nervously, obvious not quite sure what was going on
He's either using Nicolas to get in our pants, or trying to set the two of us up together.
>>22596216
>[ ] Stay with Nicolas
>>
>>22596279
Or is trying to get us comfortable enough to say something around him to push him away. He's playing games with us, I'm sure of it. It's just that he's a damn good actor.

The relationship between Terrance and Nicolas is interesting so far. Terrance does seem to be friendly with Nicolas, maybe because he only seems to hold any respect for Pilots and maybe Jonathan because he's set himself apart from the rest. Though his interactions with Nicolas are kind, they are rather aggressive about it, he pulls him out of his comfort zone but in a way that you can't justify being mad at him for because he's just being "friendly". He's getting our measure now and seeing how interesting we can be, and he knows that we like Nicolas and he can use Nicolas to mess with us.

He seems a bit like a cat, we're interesting so he's toying with us. He doesn't seem to like Natalia as she's boring to him, he considers her part of friends and comrades, not a commoner, but she isn't interesting to him.
>>
>>22596216
[x ] Go to NERV
>>
>>22596390
Also the choice of words he used...

Commoner. It doesn't sit right with me. It feels like he's playing a very large game of chess and we're just pawns. Also, my guess that he is manufactured is now kind of thrown off. He seems a tad too human for that.
>>
>>22596433
He very well may have picked up on our fixation on knights, and chose the term due to it.
>>
>>22596468
How could have gotten on our fixation of knights? If he deduced that from the mere fact we use a lance then he really is 3Gendo5me. Also, giving us the option of staying with Nicolas...

I think he knows we don't know how to deal with him yet. He's waiting for us to fuck it up, or hoping that we don't so he can tear us apart later for his own amusement.
>>
>>22596496
>How could have gotten on our fixation of knights?
He could have read our dossier.
>>
>>22596468
Well, no matter if he chose the term due to us or not, it's possible he didn't, he doesn't see most people as worthy of his respect. He tolerates his hanger-ons and doesn't mind telling them to fuck off because he thinks it'll make us like him more. He could have done this for Nicolas a while ago, but he waited for us to come around.

>>22596496
He read our file? We don't go out of our way to hide it. Or he heard about it from someone else.
>>
Samantha sidled over and patted Nicolas on the shoulder. He turned around to stare at her in a confused manner. The street was packed with people, dozens of them swarming around their small group as the exchange happened. Might as well get to know Nicolas, maybe she could even help him overcome that monster. Besides, he seemed a lot more calm than when they had been at that duck, just as sullen and nervous, but at least a tad more stable.

“Yeah, Nicolas can show me around a bit more.” Terrance waved at them as he retreated into the service tunnel, saying something about letting the two love birds be alone. As he left Nicolas’s face fell even further.

“Why do you want me to show you around?” he asked, starring at the ground as they walked along.

“Because I want to get to know you better.” Answered Samantha, they walked further down the street between two of the larger buildings. The district got darker as the photostrips were blocked out by the hanging city above. On either side of them the area was dominated by bars. Despite not knowing where she was Nicolas let Samantha lead him along.

“What, so you can fix me?” Samantha tried to think of something to say, but realized he was right in a way. Part of the reason she wanted to talk to him was to help him with that, monster, thing. That wasn’t the only part though.

“No, we’re comrades. We fight tog--” Nicolas raised his voice this time, the crowd has thinned since they left the city center. A man in a suit walking along turned to look at the child who raised his voice.

“So it’s only for you to know how to deal with me then? Don’t worry, I understand. The girls go for Terrance, the guys wish they could fight like him. No one idolizes me, it’s only pity. What is it, get close to me so you can get close to Terrance?” A few more people stopped to listen, including three boys who were just a bit older then Samantha and Nicolas.
>>
>>22596676

“No, that’s not it at all! I want to help you because I want to be your friend dammit!” She raised her fist this time, losing control. The impact of her fist against his face sent him reeling. From the ground he sat rubbing his cheek. The crowd that had stopped to stare dissipated, except for the three guys. In fact the city street was next to deserted.

“You want to be my friend?” he said from the ground, a few tears in his eyes, but the smile he had was actually genuine instead of the forced ones she had seen up until then.

“Yes, you idiot,” Samantha was going to help him up, but before she could one of the guys stepped forward, a knife appearing from his pocket. The blade switched out.

“Well, a woman hitting a man. That’s quite new isn’t it? Now, from those uniforms I see that you two happen to be from that school. It’s been fun watching you fight, but I’m not so much one for happy endings. Give me your I.D. cards and no one gets hurt.” The other two circled around to corner them.

That's it for writing today everyone. It seems that now Nicolas genuinely realizes you want to be his friend and are not just using him. Wonder what could have gotten him to have such a defeatist attitude? Anyway, you're also being mugged. We'll pick up here again next thread.

For now I'm here to discuss and answer questions. Anyone wondering anything?
>>
>>22596697
NEXT THREAD WILL BE ON WEDNESDAY ON 22:00 4CHAN TIME. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE.

ALSO, REMEMBER, I NEED THAT BLOOD SACRIFICE. SOMEONE STEP UP.
>>
>>22596746
My gerbil will never be forgotten
;_;7
>>
I hope we roll well nect thread or we're getting ourselves stabbed.
>>
>>22596813
Personally I'm hoping Nicolas goes all blood rage on them. Though that could undo all the friendship building we just did.
>>
>>22596697
We're getting mugged. I hope a NERV pilot security detail has been following us.

We might end up fighting them, which will be bad for us, because we're aggressive as hell like that.

But I'm happy we got that through to Nicolas, if that didn't work we'd have to end up kissing him.

Anyways, mugging. We're a NeoSpartan, so we've probably received a fair chunk of combat training, we've gotten into plenty of fights and we're obsessed with Knights so we probably know how to use a sword. Our first action should probably be to find something to improvise as a sword/club and bash them over the head.
>>
>>22596825
>that could undo all the friendship building we just did.
Or it could give us a chance to do the whole "grab him in a bear hug and don't let go until he's calmed down" thing.
>>
>>22596832

>Find something to use as a club.

Use Nick!
>>
>>22596832
I suspect they are, and hopefully close enough that they can get here fairly so--

Holy fuck, I just thought of something. Could Terrance have planned for this?
>>
>>22596852
He's certainly dense enough. Dohoho. Took punching him to get him to realize we actually like him.

Neither of us are good at friendship.
>>
>>22596866
Friendship hard, violence only answer.
>>
>>22596865
Not everything is one big conspiracy by Terrance...I hope.
>>
>>22596866

It's like watching Asuka/Shinji all over again.

Except we're too open and he's legitimately crazy.
>>
>>22596895
>Not everything is one big conspiracy by Terrance...I hope.
I don't think you know who Terrance IS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RsepQh342g
>>
>>22596905
We're not actually Tsundere though. We quite obviously like him, if asked we'll say we like him, we just get frustrated when he thinks we want to go after the prettyboy. We don't insult him or anything like that, he's just got an inferiority complex a mile wide.
>>
>>22596916
Guise... guise...

What if Terrance is actually reformed Gendo. We know something called the Ikari incident happened. Maybe Gendo implanted Adam, dissolved, and eventually reformed into a new angel.

A Tabris style angel...

It would explain why Terrance is so powerful at A.T. and seemingly hides his true emotions. Fuck guys, I'm scared.
>>
>>22596985
Just wait until you find out why. Shit is depressing.
>>
>>22597025
His mom's dead?
His dad's dead?
His puppy's dead?
>>
>>22597007
Actually, as the guy who posted that joke, I really think if Gendo's still around he's Lorenso. Mostly because I posted that guess at the end of the last thread and when I brought it up earlier in this one Some Faggot dodged the question like a master.
>>
>>22597025
Accidentally killed someone he cared about while 'zerking?
>>
>>22597057
>>22597072
I'll just say that you both are correct and incorrect at the same time.
>>
>>22597089
THINKS he accidentally killed someone he card about while 'zerking, but isn't actually to blame?
>>
>>22597062
Lorenso is Gendo? Hmmm... hadn't considered that. Though I do not think Gendo could every be as nice and Lorenso, the fucker seems like a complete kindly old man. I'm voting for repentant member of Seele.
>>
>>22597117
You might be right, you might be wrong, I might be saying all of this to throw you off the real track. Anyway though, spoilers aren't fun. I can answer some questions, but mostly about setting and what not.

Like for instance how many units are there total now?

The answer is 46. The vatican treaty dissolved a long time ago due to there being more evangelions than the poor countries could afford so all the rich ones got more than three.
>>
>>22597152
Could you give us a bit of background on the Ikari incident and the aftermath? Just the stuff that Samantha would know.
>>
>>22597152

What happened to Asuka/Shinji/Rei/.... Mari?

Did they get something resembling a happy ending? Like, survived and shit?

Most of the canon shit pointed in that direction anyway. Original Eva at least. Don't know as much about the rebuild stuff.

>Though I do not think Gendo could every be as nice and Lorenso
Yui would disagree with you.
Remember, we only ever see Gendo at two points in his life. His two LOWEST points.
Before he met Yui (well, immediately after their first meeting, but before she can really have any affect on him), and after he lost her. We never see what he was like around her. He could very well have come to realize how badly he fucked up with Shinji, and see this as his shot at redemption.
>>
>>22597174
The Ikari incident refers to what occurred instead of the events in End of Evangelion. What happened was that the cluster fuck of coexisting plans, instead of going off together to cause 3rd impact, was ultimately prevented by Shinji not being a bitch for twelve seconds and telling his dad to fuck off. Shinji broke into NERV with his eva, destroyed Lillith and Adam like anyone with half a brain would have done, and buggered out of there to help Asuka. Human instrumentality never occurred, and Asuka survived to actually kill the mass production Evangelions. Gendo was never seen after that day, it is believed he died. Seele was hunted down by the world governments and scattered to the winds, disproved of their MP Evangelions they could no longer do as much damage. NERV HQ was really destroyed though, but most of the cast survived that day.

Even now Shinji lived in japan along with Asuke and Rei. I am not telling you under what circumstances they live (married, going out, divorced or otherwise), but suffice to say Shinji retired from active duty as he grew older, eventually overcoming his daddy issues and becoming missions director himself. Also it was found after a certain part of the brain matures at the age of 21-25 the pilot can no longer link to their Evangelions (imagine Asuka's sheer fury when she was the first one to have this happen to). None of the main cast can pilot any longer unfortunately.
>>
>>22597202
So he has turned the repenter? Faggot did just say that he disappeared after the events. Maybe he's trying to make up for what he has done.

Also dammit Faggot! Ship the characters, give us something to go on you fuck!
>>
>>22597332
Personally I LIKE him not telling us.
Mainly because I despise red vs blue faggotry, which is what Eva discussions inevitably turn into.
Asuka/Shinji/Rei OT3

Now if no one has any other questions I will be off to bed.

Just to say again. Next thread is on Wednesday at 22:00 and will continue until approximately 4:00.

Hopefully we can finally make it through our first day on the job. I'm suspecting the first day will be the longest, then it'll just be events along the way and angel attacks and what not.
>>
>>22597457
Oh yeah, if you have questions, you have five minutes as I get ready for bed to ask them.
>>
>>22597474
On a scale from 1-10 how much Go Fast does our Eva have? How much Toughness does our Eva have?

How good are we at AT field stuff? How good a brawler are we?

What chance do we think we would have in a straight fight between us and Terrence or Nicholas?
>>
>>22597474
Mike or Joel?
>>
>>22597499
Between Terrance or Nicolas?

Either of them would probably kill you at the moment, it would be a tough fight, but they would most likely win.

For speed you're around an 8, toughness a 7. Your A.T. field is weak at probably a 5, your brawler skill is another 8. Basically you're a good fast point men and melee fighter, but your A.T. skills could use some work. This is partially because you've only ever actually been in an Eva once.

>>22597507
Mike because fuck you.
>>
>>22597588
I like Mike too.
>>
>>22597588
Okay. We need to acquire more GO FAST, and learn more A.T. stuff, but mainly more GO FAST.
>>
>>22597609
Yes! more couched lance damage!
>>
>>22597609
Well I am planning on every angel you beat, or every milestone or something, giving you the chance to choose some upgrades. Some will be more fast. Next to Nicolas you're the fastest by far. He just happens to be beast running I'm gonna actually break the sound barrier fast mode.
>>
>>22597637
And now I must really go to bed, goodnight all, remember Wednesday 22:00. The schedule will always be at that time on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.
>>
>>22597637
The sound barrier will be but a stepping stone for us.

For A.T. stuff we should focus on shields and more GO FAST from it.
>>
>>22597690
I wish I could actually see his and Terrance's fight. It sounds badass as fuck. Especially the sound barrier breaking tackle Nicolas did.
