[ Kaworu is lost. Can you blame him? He was sent to a city to live by himself after he spent all his life inside a laboratory. He has no idea what is like to live in a society, he never worked or went to school - and now he is out in the open, is a student and was given a job. Even though he is lost, let's be honest, he's probably not all that worried about finding his way. So, since he is lost, he decides to sit down, watch people pass by and meet new people: you.

When the video feed starts, Kaworu is smiling because that's what he does all the time. A gentle, kind and caring smile, somewhat weird because why would you be smiling when you are lost ]

My name is Kaworu Nagisa and I was recently brought to this world. [ and before anything else, he has a question ] I'd like to know if someone by the name of Shinji Ikari is here. He is fourteen years old, has dark hair and blue eyes. Frail like glass. Afraid of close contact with other beings. [ kaworu. no.

And now that is out of the way ] I'm also lost. I have never been to a city by myself before, and I never went to school or had a job. Sunday Church pianist seems interesting, though. [ red eyes look around for a moment, only to watch someone pass by, smiling softly ]

Do you enjoy your life here, in this world? Even if you were brought in against your will, how is it like?

[ ooc: Action is also welcome! ]

Comments

OOC first: Action okay?

[bulwank]

OOC first: yes, totally! C:

[5thchild]

All right, wicked. SO ACTION

[bulwank]

[Stopped and sat and since it probably was something just done on a whim, Gamagori may just finding him sitting on a sidewalk with his back against some building, or fence. Not a place for a person of his age to just be- sitting, alone anyway. It catches his attention and he stops, still in that military dress uniform he wears for work.]

You shouldn't be sitting on the ground in the middle of a city. Come on, get up.

[No ifs ands or butts.]

Are you an imPort? [He feels it's safe to assume yes, but still- he'll ask.]

[imitari]

[Oh, uh. You look special.]

Sunday church pianist? We might be colleagues, Kaworu. [beat.] Am I saying that right?

[5thchild]

[ he is special, sure ]

Yes, you are. So you work at the church as well?

[imitari]

Yeah, I'm sort of a Sunday school teacher there. Which is pretty ironic, but you don't wanna hear about that.

[IF SHE ONLY KNEW]

I'm Katie. Katie Dallas.

[Damnit damnit damnit he really can't get away from home, can he? And of all the people. Maybe part of him is a little happy damn C&C memories making being closed off harder No, he's definitely annoyed. OH WELL Kaworu is going to find out he's here eventually anyway.]

You're wrong, you know. About my eyes.

[Whoa semi-assertive shinji what is even going on here

voice;

[5thchild]

Shinji-kun. [ in a way, Kaworu is glad to hear his voice and at the same time, he perhaps would rather if Shinji wasn't in this world. Though their world is a mess right now, Shinji had reached a point of understanding (SORT OF he was kinda strangling Asuka but shhhhhhh), to accept himself and the world around him.

Well, maybe this place might have a positive impact on the boy, away from the Eva and everything that happened. Though , that's like running away.

But, there is something else; the semi-assertiveness kaworu could forgive (Kaworu did make Shinji kill him and Shinji did scream at Kaworu how the angel had betrayed his heart), but he knows Shinji's eye color ]

Am I? How so?

voice;

[lastnerv]

They're brown. I thought you would know that.

[Of course, there's one possibility there.]

Unless I'm not the same Shinji that you know.

[ironbuttmonkey]

I haven't been here long, but I don't find it's all that bad. They've provided us with quite a bit and haven't asked for much.

Plus I've never been to America either, so it's nice to visit.

video;

[5thchild]

Is it very different from your own world?

[ironbuttmonkey]

Different enough. We don't have superheroes where I'm from.

[Some people there probably count as supervillains though.]

Things here seem a bit calmer.

video;

[larker]

I swear the jobs in this place are getting weirder and weirder. Do you mean never been to a city like this, or never been to an actual city?

video;

[5thchild]

Is it really that weird? Music is something amazing. [ and the whole thing is a bit ironic ]

I have been to a city, but only for a few days , and i never really explored it. [ he was busy being all over Shinji ]

[larker]

Depends on the music, if I had to sit through hours of Celine Dion then I would definitely disagree with you.

Lived out in the country?

[earnedmystripes]

...You've never been to school?

[But you're all. Child-sized.]

video;

[5thchild]

[ he shakes his head ]

No, never. It was not necessary.

video;

[earnedmystripes]

What d'you mean it wasn't necessary? Education's pretty important, y'know!!

[Says the guy whose only ambition in life was being a hero and didn't bother going to college....]

VIDEO.

[acrossyourpath]

Do you think it's possible? Enjoying a life you were brought into against your will?

VIDEO.

[5thchild]

If you decide to live, anywhere can be heaven. There will be chances to be happy everywhere and it can be alright.

[acrossyourpath]

Heaven might be exaggerating things. I don't know if anywhere is ever that happy.

[sanguineseams]

I'm slowly getting used to it. I can't say that I was brought against my will.

Where are you trying to go? I might be able to give you directions.

video

[5thchild]

Not against your will? So you enjoy here?

And I'm looking for the church.

video.

[glowsferatu]

You...know Shinji?

[ it's odd, any time shinji's spoken of home, it was only that no one there cared about him, no one wanted him. kanaya had never met any of them before, but that the first one would directly ask for him, despite at least somewhat comprehending the situation, and speak of him with such familiarity, that's an interesting contradiction.

but then, shinji always did like to accentuate the negative. ]

Sorry, I've been familiar with him for some time, but never met anyone from his world.

video.

[5thchild]

[ shinji is a ball of negativism, so it's not surprising. ]

I do know him, but it's a bit more complicated than that. [ he is not exactly from shinji's world ]
