[boy oh boy, isn't everyone just so excited to explore this... charming... place...?

this is a game-wide mingle and the timeframe isn't super-important, so throw in with whatever you want! play war games, go shopping for gas masks, get lost in the wilderness, hide up in the Iskaulit and refuse to set foot on the moon, anything goes.

here's the main event info post for reference! have fun!]

Maybe a teeny, tiny bit too strong. [Shinji should be more reproving, more disgruntled, but he can't help but smile at Ciri. It's a small smile and no less genuine for it.] If that had been me, [he says, shaking his head,] I would've peed my pants on the spot. Confrontation isn't my strong suit.

The scars are good for something.

[And the eyeliner. And the scary faces she's perfected over the years. But she seems pleased that Shinji's not upset, ushering him along so that they're a good distance away from the merchant. No need to hang out there.]

Oh, I wish you could meet Geralt. Now he's good at making people piss themselves. He wouldn't even need to touch them.

[astrobleme]

The scars are pretty cool... [Shinji has always thought the coolest anime heroes were the ones with nasty, exposition-laden scars. They were proof of a life well-lived, if not lived well. Shinji, for all his piloting, doesn't have anything like that. He's surprisingly (and suspiciously) spotless.

He looks down at his shopping list. "New clothing (?)" is written next, and he doesn't know how successful that's going to be. Maybe there are some stores nearby with decent clothes.]

My commanding officer could do that, too. She looked like a dragon when she got really pissed off. Ready to breathe fire and all.

[percolates]

Cool? [She's used to the word being used the way Shinji means, but it's strange to hear it when she's thought her scars are nothing but useful when it's time to be scary. Otherwise, she makes a minor attempt to cover them--a wisp of hair kept loose, covering her face. And an extra button unclasped on her shirt, though some of the clothing she's gotten while on the fleet don't allow for that.]

Oh, so your commanding officer was a strong woman. No wonder you're so respectful, Shinji.

[astrobleme]

Yeah. Scars tell a story about someone, and that's cool. It's like a living memory. [Shinji doesn't have the courage to ask about Ciri's scars, since they might be too painful or too personal. He's come up with his own explanations, though. That one on her cheek happened when she was trying to rescue a particularly angry mountain lion from a hunter's illegal trap.]

Misato-san was the strongest... Even my father deferred to her over battle plans, and he never did that with anyone else. [But something bad happened and NERV fell apart. Another mystery.] The other Eva pilots I served with were both girls, too. Really brave, really strong girls. I was pretty much the odd one out.
