Part One
"Don't you people ever stop?!"
Once again, the sounds of the drunk and shameless (or poor and
destitute)
Or both.
"KGH... GH... KGHIIIII-I-I-I-I!!!" Katsuragi Misato shrieked as
she finished off yet another can of Kirin. "God, that was goooood!"
she exclaimed, crushing the beer can with her right hand. "I need
another brewski." She drunkenly reached over from the side of Godai's
desk to the beer cans on the other side, giving him a good close view
of her ample bounty from underneath her sleeveless green shirt. "Damn
it, I can't reach it..." She stretched even further and this time her
equally ample behind was right in front of Godai's face, barely
covered by her favorite pair of torn-off denim shorts.
hehehe. Misato is the perfect substitute for Akemi.
room burst open and Misato's fourteen-year-old red-haired quarter-
German ward Soryu Asuka Langley burst in,
ward, Soryu...Langley, burst
interrupting his
'contemplation'. "Will you people keep it down!" she yelled. "Unlike
SOME people I've got some REAL studying to do!"
"What do you mean, REAL studying?" Godai said, spinning around.
"I AM trying to study, but these morons just won't get the hint!"
Heh. Her and Godai could have fun playing off one another.
"Oh, no, no bother," Yotsuya said, making Kyoko sit on the floor
around the sake bottle. "Besides, he's interested in hearing the
latest developments in your relationship with your estranged
husband... Soichiro."
I remember this. Interesting development with the two of them breaking up.
nonchalantly asked me when I was coming back to him! Hmph! Arrogant
son-of-a..." She took another can of beer and opened it and proceeded
to consume the contents considerably faster than the last one.
Yeah. When she gets liquored up she can get downright obnoxious.
Kyoko slapped her forehead. "I should've known better than to
listen to you people..."
True.
Godai tossed and turned for the rest of the night. "'Where do
you get off wrecking the manager's marriage like that just to make a
fast buck? It's her life, it's her choice, let her make it on her
own!'" he repeated to himself.
He hit himself on the head. "What were you thinking, you moron?
Why couldn't you have left well enough alone? She might've decided to
divorce Soichiro by now if you hadn't played the hero like that!"
He sighed and pulled the sheets over his head. "Great going,
genius."
heh. Typical Godai. He'll do the right thing, then chide himself later for
doing it.
Kentaro did nothing the next day but idly watch Yoshimi watch
Ryunosuke watch Rei. He saw the lovesick expression on Yoshimi's face
as she gazed at Ryunosuke in undisguised adulation.
Heh. Poor Kentaro still luckless.
"I'll say. I sure as hell know he's not proud of MY grades,"
Godai whispered back.
"Hey, you passed, didn't you? Don't complain," rebutted
Kobayashi.
Is Kobayashi from anything? The name doesn't sound like it was from any of
these series, like the others.
couldn't see anything; he could only make out the sound of a
helicopter in the background. "Uh," Natsume-sensei blurted out, "I've
got to be going now! Bye!" And with this he ran out the classroom at
breakneck speed.
this could be messy.
"Well, do you?" Nobuyuki asked.
They all looked at each other, discussed it a bit among
themselves, and finally said, "No."
Heh
"Which is?" Godai asked, letting up on the head-whapping on
Kobayashi.
"Internship at NERV."
Ah. So this takes place before the Nobuyki chapter. I didn't realize it at
first.
Kyoko did not mind the many inclines
'inclines' seems a poor choice of word. 'hills' or something would be
better, I think.
He turned away and looked at the Nerima skyline traced by the
light of the fast-setting sun. "When are you coming home?" he asked.
"Don't you get tired of this? You've been doing this forever, it
seems."
"Four years," she corrected.
Yikes! And she hasn't divorced him yet?
balcony. You shop for groceries every Thursday, then you return the
day after that for the things you forgot."
"How would you know?" Kyoko spat.
"You used to do them before," Soichiro replied.
Interesting. In some ways she still hasn't changed then.
Nice work. Interesting variations, and it's always nice to see some MI
material. Given the nature of the series, it's not surprising much isn't
written about it. Prose flowed well, as usual
