I understand sometime has passed since we first arrived to this world. I would like to know what you enjoy the most about this place, if anything.

I do have another question, for those who wish to answer.
Why do you exist? Why do you think you were born?


[ Action ]
[ Kaworu is currently at the library reading a bit about food. Not recipe books, but books about different kinds of food people eat, and strangely he seems quite amazed, too!

feel free to approach him. ]

Because my mom went temporarily insane and decided to settle down with my dad. Does there have to be a reason?

text;

[5thchild]

Some believe there is.

"Destiny" or "fate", if you prefer to call it that.

text;

[ichoosefight]

Destiny is great and all, but I like to work with what I have.

[heroofjustice]

I was born to help people. I guess that's why I exist, anyway!

text;

[5thchild]

To help people?

How?

text;

[heroofjustice]

I stop bad people who are hurting others, to make the world more safe.

[favored_four_eyes]

I'm not really sure what I was born to do just yet. I mean if I had to pick it'd be something liking piloting an Eva since that's led to pretty much everything else in my life.

[5thchild]

Don't you think there is something else?

[favored_four_eyes]

Maybe meeting the princess...maybe.

[goldcomplex]

Those are rather deep questions considering the situation we're in.

text;

[5thchild]

Perhaps. But no one has to answer them if they don't wish to.

[goldcomplex]

Fair point. May I ask why spurred it?

[pinetreemary]

Those are kind of weird questions, aren't they? Why do you want to know?

[5thchild]

Weird how?

I'm curious, actually.

[pinetreemary]

I don't know. They just seemed like something people would think was weird. I guess? Probably. [Very specific.]

[Mani's been looking at books about food too, although she has gone for the recipe books, eating out all the time is more than she can afford and she needs to figure out how to make her own food.

Of course she wouldn't bother someone else who was already studying and would carry on her way, but her claw gets snagged on the library carpet and she falls over with a yelp.]

Oops.

[Action]

[5thchild]

[ noticing the other falling, Kaworu moves from his table to reach for Mani. He offers her his hand in case she needs help to get up ]

Are you alright?

[Action]

[rabbitheartedfox]

I'm okay. [She's more embarrassed than anything clearly she was going to have to be more careful when it came to grooming

She gathers up the few books she had collected and reaches for Kaworu's hand.]

Thank you.

You know... Asking these kinds of questions isn't exactly normal!

text;

[5thchild]

Why not?

text;

[fierily]

Are you stupid?

Do I have to spell this all out to you?

Because normal people don't often think about these things. They have other things on their minds! Like work, school....

[ And in Asuka's case, impressing anyone who's willing to put up with her! Oops. ]

[hamburgerhero]

I totally know why I was born. I'm America. Simple as that.

_{[So obvious. So he likes to think.]}

text

[5thchild]

America?

The same name as the continent.

LATE TO THIS AGAIN [text]

[flamesfanned]

[...Congrats, Kaworu, you have attracted this replica again. How does this keep happening.]

I was born because of a prophecy.

[That's the non-complicated, non-specific version.]

It's not really a big secret. But the reason I was born isn't the same as the reason I'm here now.

I guess I don't really know what that is.

IT'S ALRIGHT~ [text]

[5thchild]

The reason you were born, do you wish to follow through with it?
