01 - let's get down to business

[agelostdoll]

[the feed flickers on; it looks like Asuka's managed to find a reasonable approximation of her black hat and red/white jacket. A small blue scarf has been tied around one arm, since there's no longer a rush to discard the jacket to get into her Eva, and the hat is missing her badges but hey, it's close enough.]

Alright, may as well start trying to get organised. I propose we pool our knowledge; scientists, medical experts, concerned citizens, anyone familiar with crossing dimensions... hell, anyone who even knows magic at this point [THERE ARE DRAGONS, WHY NOT] - anyone who thinks they can contribute or has something to say, lets meet up at the plaza; same one where we arrived. I'll be there from noon tomorrow. Theories, ideas, anything. We'll throw stuff at walls and see what sticks.

I'm Asuka Langley Shikinami, by the way; Captain Asuka Langley Shikinami. Don't confuse me with the other one. [she taps her eyepatch]. And yeah, I'm older than I look. Long story.

Finally, to anyone concerned... supposedly, once we're done here they'll drop us right back off where we left; same time and place. There's also some kind of medical 'failsafe' in place should the worst happen whatever that means. Up to you how much you want to trust it.

...Oh, and try not to touch me either; I'm waiting to see what happens. Doesn't seem too bad yet.

[ The silver-haired boy can be seen munching on a box of takeout, presumably from one of the Beachside Shack restaurants long before he ever makes a sound that's not chewing or slurping. Even though the feed's on. ]

Alright. [ Kanata finally says, though there's a long pause filled with eating. ] Since you all already here seem to have a good idea of what's goin' on. [ Another bite of some sort of chicken. ] Tell me what all this touchin' is really about.

[ There's a small scene of choking; the poor soul's embarrassed himself. Also, if someone is questioning his ignorance, he was asleep and drowsy through most of the introductory period. ] I mean...I'm not stupid, I get you're supposed to go around hugging and everything! But we don't have to hug people right? We can do handshakes or somethin' else...I'll be the first to say none of you are getting a hug from me! I slap on the back or a fist to the stomach if you try, even! At least, without asking first.

[ He goes back to sheepishly eating his chicken. ] I just don't wanna have to go around huggin' people if I don't have to. Or if there's another option. I'm just not in the mood to keep on bein' sick, is all...

B-...but anyway...! If all we gotta do is go around giving high fives and whatever to power this stupid city, let's get on it! I've got a home to get back to! [ And thus he goes back to eating and fuming in silence. ]
