[paraclete]

Who: Kaworu Nagisa and whomever else
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: he's in his quarters on the Vanquish.
When: 9/13, which is the anniversary of a horrible catastrophe on his planet!! also his birthday. but mostly the catastrophe thing.

I've gotten a sponsorship box, although I am still not entirely sure what that means. Anyway, it came with the assertion that I should have a wonderful day. But since I hope that you, the reader, will have a wonderful day, and because it would take me a very long time to eat all of this, I'm going to leave it out and let you come and take a cup full, if you'd like to.



It's sitting in the cargo hold of the Vanquish. There are other things there, as well, but you can find this particular box thanks to the glitter on the floor surrounding it. You can take more than a cup, too. I won't be monitoring it. I want to share any bounty I can with any creature I can. A debt is no good.

I do have one request, independent of boxes and cups. If you have the time, and if you feel nostalgic, would you tell me about your planet? It can be anything you want to say. Whatever details are most vivid as the memory of your home. Whatever hallmarks you consider to define your dwelling place. Thanks.

Don't you think it would be nice to go swimming?

[Well, that took a second or two. Maybe Kaworu's just unaccustomed to swapping to video for her. She knows what day this is, too.]

You know what? They taste better on frosting.

[paraclete]

Well, frosting is very good. [It's thanks to Asuka, and the cake she made for Shinji, that Kaworu knows that at all...] I would guess most things taste better with it. [...but he might be slightly overzealous about it. Well, an Angel's tastes...]

[interstices]

Do you have a favorite?

[paraclete]

[Almost immediately, and with a gleam of unrestrained delight in his eyes: ] I really like vanilla anything.

[He pauses, here, catching himself, and he isn't embarrassed by his expression of gladness, but he does feel a little awkward for focusing on stuff he likes. It feels even weirder to do it in conversation with Asuka.

...]

Well, lots of things taste good, though.

[interstices]

Oh.

[He actually sounded as if he was enjoying himself there for a second. How weird. Well, it's not like Shinji could get this kind of information without being transparent as hell.]

Have you had chocolate?

[paraclete]

I haven't had as much of it... I think it's... [He's considering this seriously, casting about for a worthy description. Finally: ] Rich? I had never had rich things before. It was more amazing than I expected.

[interstices]

Yeah, it is rich. [It's not small talk, of course, though with any luck, he's not aware. She's trying to decide what kind of cake they should make for him. The fact that it's they instead of just Shinji is still weird and a little uncomfortable.] I had a bar of it once.
