And again:

Hope you enjoy it.

We'll see.

There had been method to her madness. There had been a reason
she had taken the interior room of the apartment. She didn't realize
that her madness would later come in handy. No windows. That
had been the reason. There were no windows in her room. Shinji's
room had windows, which meant that he had to deal with the
sunshine in the morning. Asuka had to deal with it too. There was
a window in her room too. Maybe it was a little bit of selfish evil,
but she dismissed that thought because Misato had chosen her own
room *long* before either Shinji or Asuka moved in.

Last sentence is a bit awkward. Almost sounds like it's not Misato.

until...She couldn't remember. Misato sighed and rubbed at her
eyes. She glanced at the door and saw a shining sliver of light peak
into the room. She followed it along the floor. It climbed the far
wall and up her dresser. Misato sighed as the shaft of light glinted
silver off of her cross. It reminded her of what she was in NERV to
do. Responsibility. Her father.

Money for beer.

Clamor arose from the livingroom and Misato's hangover decided
to make itself known. She grabbed her head with both hands and
moaned softly, trying to grab sympathy from the little dwarf in her
head who had the hammer. Kaji rolled over and smiled up at her.

"Good morning, sunshine," he said softly.

He needs to be kicked. Repeatedly.

Misato urped slightly as she made her way to the bathroom. She
closed the door and she lifted the lid. She prayed. And then she
prayed some more. And lo, the tile felt good as she rested there. It
never smelled nice the morning after, but a quick flick of the
handle removed that. She sat back up for a moment on the floor
where she had slid down and listened as the dwarf climbed out of
her ear and into the bowl.

Blech. Mine last longer than that.

"Misato?" Shinji called out, "I'm taking off now. Dr. Akagi has
more tests to run, but I'm gonna go see Touji and his sister after
that...Breakfast is on the table..."

Still wanna know what Shinji did to hack Asuka off so much.

There wasn't a soul on the streets.

There were some lawyers out, but they had no souls.

"Hyuuga?"

It's remarkable how his name also sounds like the sounds I make when I'm
throwing up. :)

Misato looked to the television. An American program blared. An
audience screamed the name of the host in a chant. She didn't
recognize it immediately, but then the title of the show came on
and she knew. Reruns of Jerry Springer.

Better than reruns of the Chevy Chase Show. :)

Misato made her way from the cafeteria down into the bowels of
headquarters. It never ceased to amaze her the shear

sheer (I think)

She shook her head as the doors to the elevator opened.
Commander Gendo Ikari looked out at her from beneath his
glasses and Misato smiled a greeting at him. She wondered slightly
at the light sheen at his forehead, like he'd working

he'd been working

That depressed her. It was okay that the complaints were less, but
it was only because no one wanted to live in a city that was a target
for creatures that NERV could barely beat.

I'd say no one wanted to live in a city that was a target, period.

"Yeah...Come on, Misato," Ritsuko said as she hunted through her
purse, "If we get there before eight, we can get good seats for
karaoke."

"Yeah, and you just can't resist singing Divinyls, huh?" Misato
smiled.

Ohh. Now that's evil. Stiil, could have been worse. Could have been a Lords
of Acid fan. :)

He watched her expression change to doubt. It was an obvious cop-
out on his part.

he's a smart man,

He pulled at the sides of his mouth as he tried to think. It wasn't
working. He closed his eyes and sighed slightly, as if mustering his
own courage. He then turned back to her, bent to her ear quickly
and whispered it to her. He backed up and once again couldn't
meet her gaze. Kaji took a deep breath and chuckled nervously. He
turned again and began to walk back towards Ritsuko's office as
Misato began to sputter. He turned the corner, nodded his head and
smiled as he heard her shout behind him.

"What did *I* MEAN 'Not tonight'?!"

Heh. Very nice.
