Heya, it's lurker boy (mostly) on his first C&C.
Please don't kill me.
Don't look for timeline accuracy here, people. :)
Where?
C&C is most welcome.
I'm doing something worthwhile!
Every eye in the classroom was focused on the figure that
held out the gift-wrapped box of chocolates to Asuka.
Enough attention was left over for the red-headed girl that
her face flushed to match the colour of her hair, though it
was impossible to tell whether from anger or embarassment.
Hm. That last sentence seems a bit long. Maybe "Enough attention was left
over for the red-headed girl that her face flushed to match the colour of
her hair. It was impossible to tell if it was from anger or embarrasment,
though".
"Verdammt, Wonder Girl!" Asuka choked out. "You're not
supposed to give chocolates to another girl! Just to some
idiot boy that you like! Heck, I'm from Germany, but even I
know about the stupid reversed way the Japanese do
Valentine's Day!"
I'm not sure, but isn't it "Verdamnt"? Asuka would probably say "pervert" or
"hentai" instead of "idiot" there. Hm. By the way, I'm picking this part
ridiculously, if you don't think it sdhould be changed just hit me and say
bad cabbit or something. I don't think Asuka'd use "Heck", "Hell" suits her
more. Maybe a little emphasis on I, like _I_ or *I*. Asuka always gets
puffed up about herself when she's mad.
Rei's hand did not move. "But the advice was not gender-
specific. I am supposed to give chocolates to anyone I like
or wish to get along with."
Maybe you should have Rei pause after "anyone I like" while Asuka freaks
out. jsut for comic effect.
"Then give them to baka Shinji or something!"
"I have already given Ikari-kun his chocolates."
Asuka was ready to raise another protest when a couple of
voices piped up from the rear.
I think Kensuke and Touji sat around the middle of the class. But it's been
awhile so don't trust me on that.
"Actually, this would explain a lot of things." Touji
chuckled heartily.
"Right," added Kensuke. "Like why Asuka's so aggressive
all the time, why she has that old guy as a 'boyfriend',
and why she hangs around Hikari all the time."
Mayhaps a comment about domination and submission?
"Hey! You leave Hikari out of this," Touji sputtered.
At the front of the classroom, Hikari surreptitiously
edged her desk forward a few centimeters, while Shinji
stuck a wad of tissue up his right nostril.
"The blood, being crafty, changed tactics and splurted out his left nostril."
"Arschloch!" Asuka fired back at two of the Three Stooges,
before turning back to Rei. "Look, Wonder Girl, this is all
just a stupid misunderstanding. Who the hell gave you that
advice anyway?"
Nothing to nitpick ><
"Ritsuko-sempai?" Maya coughed hesitantly at the doorway
to Doctor Akagi's room. "I'm not interrupting anything, am
I?"
im not sure about coughing hesitantly, sounds bette with "knocking?"
Ritsuko laid down the latest Evangelion status report and
looked up. "No, Maya. What can I do for you?"
Well, you could-- Maya hastily banished the wayward
thought. "Um, I seem to have have baked an excess of
chocolate last night and I was wondering if you'd like some?"
"hastily banished the wayward thought, until later..." Everyone loves
innuendo. "chocolates" unless she's just handing out big slabs of chocolate
with no filling, in which case I jsut made a fool of myself.
"So how many did you get?" Shigeru asked Makoto, casually
biting into the creamy center of a white chocolate
confectionary. NERV central was fairly quiet and empty but
for the two operators.
"except for" "but for" doesnt sound right. probably got something to do with
"hey, you got a buttfor on your arm" "whats a butt for?" *insert childish
laughing here*
Black ghosts of misery hung over Makoto's hunched form and
he failed to answer. His finger continued to tap the enter
key on the keyboard as if the task would relieve the
stretching silence.
I like that. "Black ghosts of misery"
"Not a single one, eh?" Shigeru said as he progressed from
the white cream to darker, richer, and slightly bitter
chocolate offerings.
"Look, Shigeru, it's not like we're kids in school
anymore, keeping track of how many girls like us!" Makoto
flared up.
"Not even from Misato, eh?" Shigeru added with false
sympathy.
That sounds more like teasing to me...
Misato Katsuragi laid the box of chocolates on top of the
neat grave. "Well, Kaji, you always did like creamy-
centers, so I hope you'll like these."
Myabe you should make them cherry filled (Kajin likes cherries ;P)
The grave remained silent.
"The grave remained silent, as most tend to do."
"Status?" Commander Ikari rested his chin on his woven
fingers.
"All three Evas ready for launch, sir!" Maya proclaimed.
"Pattern Blue definite! Angel coming into video feed
view," Makoto added.
"visual range" sounds better than "video feed view"
The large hanging mainscreen flickered, then produced the
image of open air and flat land near Tokyo-3. Fuyutsuki
stared at the picture, willing the Angel to come into view.
An indistinct shape began to protrude from the left of the
screen, and he bent over to whisper into the Commander's ear.
There isn't any open air and flat land, it was all hilly as seen throughout
the series :P. "An indistinct shape began to protrude from the left of the
screen while Fuyutski bent over to whisper into the Commander's ear."
"It's about time for the Fiftee-- Good Lord! Is that an
_Easter EGG_?"
"Finally, the Fifteenth Angel has arri-- Good Lord! Is that an _EASTER EGG_!?"
Gendo commendably managed to avoid jumping as the yell
erupted less than ten centimeters away from his eardrums,
though he shook his head irritably. The incoming Angel did
look remarkably like gilt-foiled, giant-sized chocolate
egg, but it was probably just coincidence. Gendo resumed
his interrupted posture.
"Composition of the Eg-- ah, Angel is unknown," Shigeru
said.
maybe a comment about it raising/not having raised an AT field yet.
"Is that an Easter Egg?" Shinji wondered as he moved Unit-
01 towards the target.
"Is that an Easter Egg!?" Shinji exclaimed" If I saw a giant easter egg, I'd
be pretty damn flabbergasted. Maybe enough to make the robot I was
controlling to stop dead in its tracks. Just a suggestion.
A small screen popped up in front of him, revealing
Asuka's glaring face. "Baka! How can it be an Easter Egg?
It's just some clever disguise!"
"Really?"
"Of course! I'll show you! I'll crack it just like Humpty
Dumpty!"
With that, Eva-02 raced ahead of its compatriots, ignoring
Shinji's weak "I thought you said it wasn't an egg?"
"Shinji's weak reply"
The red production model closed the gap to the floating
egg-shaped Angel swiftly, progressive knife held ready. "I
have you now!" Asuka yelled fiercely.
maybe "held at the ready"
A blast of brown sludge erupted from the Angel and slammed
into her machine, sending it tumbling to the ground. The
sticky fluid held it down as effectively as industrial-
strength glue despite Asuka's desperate attempts at recovery.
"What the hell is this?!" she screamed.
hm. maybe "_IS_" Asuka has a tendency to emphasize words like that in bad
situations.
Ritsuko's face appeared over another screen. "Initial
analysis indicate it to be chocolate syrup. Just hold on,
Asuka."
Maybe a brand name? Cadbury, Hershey... :P
"Units-00 and -01 will advance and engage the enemy. Be
ready to use your AT Fields to defend against-- against--
erm, sticky chocolate blasts," Misato ordered over the
tacnet, before dissolving into hysterical laughter and
closing the channel.
"Roger," acknowledged Rei as she brought Unit-00 up to
speed-- directly into the path of another brown syrup
blast. The AT Field protected her, but the blue prototype
was flung back into a cluster of outlying buildings.
"nearby buildings" outlying makes it sound like they're on the city edge,
unless they are of course. In which case, you guessed it, me = fool again.
"Nooo, Rei!" yelled Shinji as he felt his fury rise... and
matched by a dark force emanating from his Evangelion. Was
that... _hunger_?!
He'd probabaly yell "Ayanami!!!" instead of "Nooo, Rei!"
"Synchro-ratio on Unit-01 rising! It's going berserk!"
Maya exclaimed, horrified.
Its usually "Synch-ratio"
On the screen, Eva-01 avoided incoming jets of chocolate
syrup with animal grace and ferocious speed, darting close
to the Angel and ripping at the lifeform's AT Field. It
began hammering its progressive knife into the outer
structure, flaking off bits of gilt and dark brown matter.
Slowly the Angel sank to the ground, overwhelmed by the
furious assault.
"animalistic"
One last blow shattered the core and all resistance, and
Unit-01 began to feed.
"creamy core filling" perhaps?
Anyways, that was my firct C&C. PLEASE Don't kill me.
