((ooc: had meant to put this up a few days ago but I had to clean a virus off my PC; sorry about that!))

[Asuka - the eyepatch'd one - comes onto the screen... and looking none too good. Pale, bags under her eye and shivering despite a blanket and a heavy jacket. Yeah. Even her voice is hoarse:]

Anyone wondering about that side effects thing... well, it's pretty fucking confirmed. I'm about three weeks in; haven't touched anybody. Said I would a while ago; experiment.

Fever, headaches, sleep disruption... I think I'm starting to hallucinate. I'm calling it off.

They're not lying about that.

Perhaps. But given the fleet was under attack, we had more important concerns at the time. Once we were free from that they sat him down. They were quite literally briefing him when the Ayanami showed up. Should we apologise for being angry? It's only human nature.

As for Ayanami... no idea. Technically speaking, her original is probably your mother, Yui Ayanami, but in terms of personality there are considerable differences.

The one that lived the longest was the second one back when we were teenagers. She was around for 10 to 12 years, according to Akagi. I'd call that one the original 'Rei'.

_{[Give him a moment, he feels like he's going to be sick. A hand reaches up to cover over his mouth as he turns his eyes away. It's a bit traumatizing to have your suspicious confirmed 100%. To hear, once again, that your dead mom has been used as a base to make clones from. It sends a shiver down his spine and bile up his throat.]}

...I hope she never comes here.

[Asuka only shrugs]

It doesn't particularly matter either way. If they lose one, they only drag another one out anyway. They definitely feel emotions; it'd be interesting to see what one's like when your dad's not around teaching it to just be a tool.

[forevalone]

Of course she feels emotions...Ayanami wasn't soulless, Asuka.

_{[But he can't help but shake his head at the second part. It's just...too much for him at the moment.]}

I don't...I couldn't face her now.

[agelostdoll]

[actually, technically speaking she is, it's just that not having a soul doesn't really matter all that much. But that's beside the point right now]

If one does show up, me and Mari will handle it.

[forevalone]

...What will you do with her?

[agelostdoll]

[another shrug]

Keep an eye on her, really. She'd be about as useless as the rest of us here, anyway.

[forevalone]

I suppose that's true...
