Greetings ladies and gentlemen of various ages and mental states, it appears that once again it is time for Adpetus Evangelion Quest: A Knight Does Not Die With An Empty Hand.

Last time on the quest we managed to finish the school day, watching a fight between Terrance and Nicolas, of which Nicolas just barely won. After which Terrance invited our hero to come with the two of them for lunch. An applebees substitute was eaten at and a few questions were answered. Unfortunately afterwards when Samantha was shown the city, soon after Terrance left for NERV headquarters, some hooligans showed up to mug her and Nicolas, and just after we got through to him too.

Lets see what happens to day, and pray that 4chan doesn't crap out on us and ruin the flow of the thread. I will wait a few minutes for folks to stick their heads in.

Good luck friends, and god speed.

I'm going to give this one small bump. Is no one around who wants to play tonight?

Well, one person at least. I shall post the turn and hope we have more lurkers than it seems.

--------------------------------

Samantha sidled over and patted Nicolas on the shoulder. He turned around to stare at her in a confused manner. The street was packed with people, dozens of them swarming around their small group as the exchange happened. Might as well get to know Nicolas, maybe she could even help him overcome that monster. Besides, he seemed a lot more calm than when they had been at that duck, just as sullen and nervous, but at least a tad more stable.

“Yeah, Nicolas can show me around a bit more.” Terrance waved at them as he retreated into the service tunnel, saying something about letting the two love birds be alone. As he left Nicolas’s face fell even further.

“Why do you want me to show you around?” he asked, starring at the ground as they walked along.

“Because I want to get to know you better.” Answered Samantha, they walked further down the street between two of the larger buildings. The district got darker as the photostrips were blocked out by the hanging city above. On either side of them the area was dominated by bars. Despite not knowing where she was Nicolas let Samantha lead him along.

“What, so you can fix me?” Samantha tried to think of something to say, but realized he was right in a way. Part of the reason she wanted to talk to him was to help him with that, monster, thing. That wasn’t the only part though.

“No, we’re comrades. We fight tog--” Nicolas raised his voice this time, the crowd has thinned since they left the city center. A man in a suit walking along turned to look at the child who raised his voice.

“So it’s only for you to know how to deal with me then? Don’t worry, I understand. The girls go for Terrance, the guys wish they could fight like him. No one idolizes me, it’s only pity. What is it, get close to me so you can get close to Terrance?” A few more people stopped to listen, including three boys who were just a bit older then Samantha and Nicolas.

“No, that’s not it at all! I want to help you because I want to be your friend dammit!” She raised her fist this time, losing control. The impact of her fist against his face sent him reeling. From the ground he sat rubbing his cheek. The crowd that had stopped to stare dissipated, except for the three guys. In fact the city street was next to deserted.

“You want to be my friend?” he said from the ground, a few tears in his eyes, but the smile he had was actually genuine instead of the forced ones she had seen up until then.

“Yes, you idiot,” Samantha was going to help him up, but before she could one of the guys stepped forward, a knife appearing from his pocket. The blade switched out.

“Well, a woman hitting a man. That’s quite new isn’t it? Now, from those uniforms I see that you two happen to be from that school. It’s been fun watching you fight, but I’m not so much one for happy endings. Give me your I.D. cards and no one gets hurt.” The other two circled around to corner them.

Samantha backed away looking between the man with the knife to the other two, they didn’t seem to have weapons, just fists. Well, even if the majority of her training had been on how to fight in an Eva it didn’t mean she couldn’t take care of herself. First thing first, neutralize the man with the weapon. Glancing around, she saw the rest of the street had gone deserted. Damn, where was NERV when you needed them? Normally she hated their meddling, but a security detail on their asses wouldn’t go amiss. A streetlamp flicked above them, casting the lot into shadows.

“I’m not handing over anything, now you three should just walk away before you get hurt.” The man with the knife laughed, flicking the blade open and closed. His eyes gleamed with something approaching manic.

“Walk away? From some girl and a sniveling excuse for a man? I don’t think so. I didn’t want to have to hurt such a lovely girl, but it seems you leave me no choice if you won’t hand it over peacefully. I wonder how your skin looks in red.” The thug jabbed forward, aiming for Samantha’s side. She side stepped him, grabbing his wrist as he followed through. Tugging hard, she managed to pull him off balance. With another hand on his elbow Samantha brought up her knee.

From under his skin the wet crack of bone echoed, and from his lips a scream of pain came. Though it wasn’t the only scream, from where he had been on the floor Nicolas launched himself at one of the others. The worry and sadness on his face gone, the same look of mixed fury and excitement had come to replace it. One had was closed around the thug’s throat, while the other punched him in the face repeatedly.
>>
>>22631617
Already his nose had split, and was pouring blood across the floor. Despite obviously being passed out Nicolas continued to hit, breaking the nose and knocking teeth free. The other thug shouted something, Samantha couldn’t hear over Nicolas’s enraged howls. From behind he tried to hit Nicolas, a punch square at the base of the skull. Before he could Nicolas’s arm whipped around to catch the fist.

“So you believe you can fight, eh?” Though the voice was coming out of Nicolas’s mouth it wasn’t him. A hiss of mixed hatred and glee. The thug’s face showed terror as he tried to escape the grip, wrenching his arm away. Nicolas let go of the other thug and fell upon the man. Hands tearing instead of punching, and soon chunks of hair flew and blood splattered the ground. Samantha watched in horror, stunned for a moment by the brutality, but grabbed rushed forward.

“You’ll kill him!” she shouted, grabbing him around the waist. It gook all of her strength, but she managed to pull him off. Afterwards he stood, stalk still surrounded by the tree bodies.

“What kind of monster are you?!” screamed the thug with the broken arm. Nicolas’s had turned, the glee still present.

“The kind that saves our world.” Nicolas wobbled on the spot, bringing a hand to his face. For a few seconds he stood there, but when he pulled it away the normal look of melancholy returned. Looking at the surrounded bodies Nicolas gasped, eyes widening in terror.
>>
>>22631626
“What? What happened?” Samantha looked around, what had happened? Grabbing Nicolas’s wrist she dragged him away, down the street and turning the corner. Not many people were around, hopefully no one had seen that, or at least wouldn’t expect them. Finally they made it to the station and Samantha pulled Nicolas into one of the bathroom, his arms were covered in blood and splatters of it had gotten onto his face. His teeth were even stained red. Had he bitten them. Pulling out her phone Samantha called nine one one. The operator on the other side answered in a bored fashion.

“Yes, what is the nature of your emergency?” Already Nicolas was trying to clean off the blood from his arms, his breath growing heavy with panic.

“Near the downtown train station in Eureka Valley, three guys were beaten up. They look really bad, you should send someone.” Closing the phone she looked back at Nicolas, his pale skin was flushed where not stained with blood, and a large amount of it had gotten onto his uniform.

[ ] Ask him what the fuck just happened.
[ ] Help him clean off the blood

We chose to stay and fight. We put him in that situation. And right now he needs a friend to be here.

Right or wrong, we shall protect our fellows. They had dug a grave when they mugged us at knife point. It was pure courtesy that we didn't fill it atop them.

>>22631637
>[ ] Help him clean off the blood

Nick needs a moment to calm down, and we don't need folks asking why our bro is covered in somebody else's blood.

Also we should probably try to bar the door. Blood aside, this is probably either a men's or women's bathroom, which means one of us isn't supposed to be here.

He's a berzerker; except unlike a certain Japanese pilot, it's apparently on account of him being shitfuck crazy IRL instead of just having no control over his eva.

We're fighting with monsters that are hell bent on raping humanity up its collective asshole. If anything, we should be getting his mother to pop more kids like him out.
>>
>>22632030
not saying it is a bad thing but it would fuck with the kid you know? Make him thing he is less than human maybe, a monster as has been said again and again.

When you lack control of something inside of yourself you can become a horrible monster.

Lust, Anger, Fear, even Happy. Losing one self into these can make one a fucked up person. Of course the happy sorts just tend to ignore the world but still.
>>
>>22632088
If we can give him some level of control over WHEN he rages, then we have a very effective fighting machine. If he keeps going off at the drop of a hat then we may have a problem.
>>
>>22632137
Yes as he stands now he is kind of a liability on the otherhand we need to findout how long he has been an EVA pilot as well, Terrance if I recall has been doing it for 2 years or so. If Nicky has been doing it for the same amount then well shit why fix what is not broken? Our meddling could be worse in the long run, We must be careful.

Shinji was a whiny bitch. Who doesn't want to pilot a giant mecha and live with a bunch of attractive girls?
>>22632186
If we "fix" him, that gives the DM a chance to have him "break" at a later point.
>>
>>22632186
>why fix what is not broken?
Because it IS broken, it's just that it still works in spite of it. Nicolas seems to cause pretty major collateral damage on a regular basis when he 'zerks in the Eva. If we can help him gain greater control over it, over the Tvar, we can make him far more effective.

Nicolas had begun shaking, his hands hardly able to hold the paper towels pulled from the holding. Samantha looked at him, in his eyes tears brimmed, and as they rolled down his face it cut through the gore covering it. His breath was labored, chest heaving. A pool of mixed water and blood had already appeared on the ground, running towards the drain in the center of the room.

Samantha walked over, placing her hands over his. Pulling a paper towel from his hand, she began wiping the blood from his arm. They were going to need a lot more than this. Nicolas turned to her, still crying. Samantha had never been good at these kinds of things, her attitude towards life, chivalry, honor, how people were supposed to conduct themselves. It had brought with it the unfortunate side affect of being alienated from most people. She wasn’t the best at dealing with people, and if she was going to be honest with herself she had never really had a friend. Nicolas buried his face in her chest, getting blood on her uniform.

“It’s ok,” she said, knowing it most certainly wasn’t. Even as the words left her mouth they felt hollow. Patting Nicolas on the back she tried to calm him down, several minutes passed and they didn’t move, Nicolas sobbing into her shirt. Eventually when he broke away his tears were dry and he turned back to the sink.

With a black expression he cleaned off the rest of the blood, leaving a mass sodden with gore in the bottom of the sink while the rest of the rosy pink liquid drained away. Samantha helped him, getting most of it out of his robe, despite it the strain persisted. When they left the station both of them headed towards the train. Ambulance sirens echoed from the street, hopefully the thugs were alright. Beating them was one thing, but after what Nicolas had done they might die.
>>
>>22632392
Samantha remembered the previous night. Lorenso had said Nicolas had just come from a trail, after he was being accused of causing excess collateral damage. Maybe she hadn’t seen it the last time because they had fought on the bridge, but after the brutality a moment ago. After boarding the train they received a few strange looks, but no one seemed bold enough to ask two students from the academy exactly what had happened.

Above the photostrips dimmed to sunset levels, and the two of them headed to NERV. Nicolas’s face had grown blank, his expression completely leaving him. Samantha honestly wasn’t sure what to make of him, she had met kids who loved violence for the sake of it. Most of them didn’t make it too far, hurting themselves beyond the point of return or picking fights they couldn’t win, but Nicolas seemed different. Every time he looked at his hands, red still peaking out from under his fingernails, a glimmer crossed his eyes. It was hatred, he hated himself, and what his hands could do.

Their train pulled into the station, NERV 07. Almost all the others had gotten off, save for a few workers heading for the evening shift at the base. Outside on the platform someone stood, wearing a grey suit. As they slowed to a halt Samantha saw it was Edwards, the cross glinting on his chest. As the car opened the two of them walked out, and he stepped forward.

“I received word from the information division that your phone made a call to the emergency services. I’m just coming out to make a check on that. It’s obvious you two have been in a fight,” Damn, thought Samantha, glancing down at the crimson still on her collar, “Please explain to me exactly what happened. I’m sure it wasn’t your faults,
>>
>>22632400
but we need to know the details.” If they were that concerned then why hadn’t they had a security detail following them, or at least surveillance! He was messing with them, he knew the truth already and was just testing their honesty. Shouldn’t he know what was going on. Then Samantha caught a look in his eye, it was worry. On second thought, maybe he didn’t know what was going on, the entire base commander coming to greet them at the platform. Maybe their net wasn’t exactly perfect.

[ ] Tell him the truth, Nicolas attack and all.

He's not blind or an idiot, he'll see the blood under the fingernails. But lie a tiny bit, say we were accosted by three men, one with a knife, we went after the guy with a knife, broke his arm, someone came from behind to attack us and then Nicolas tackled him. We want to paint him as him going mad to defend a teammate, much easier to explain and defend.

>>22632411
>[ ] Withhold information

Some muggers picked a fight, and they lost. Let's leave it at that for the moment.

We can always tell Edwards later, but getting ratted out right in front of the base commander might be a bit much for Nick right now.

>>22632456
Wait, no. Withhold information.
>>
>>22632411
>[ ] Withhold information, don't tell him about Nicolas going berserk
We admit our involvement and play up the show of potentially lethal force, demonstrated by the knife and superior number of our adversaries. Even if we killed a few, assuming common law still holds sway, this would be justifiable homicide.
>>
Withhold information, but we should really mention they demanded our ID cards, because of the saving the world thing.
>>
>>22632505
Actually, Nicky continued to lay into them after they were down. If the DA wants to, he can nail your ass to the wall over "unnecessary use of force" if you continue to apply force to a neutralized threat.

I'm trying out total votes instead of first to three. It seems that withhold information is the clear victor.

The various gubmints cracked WAY down on NERV after the Ikari Incident. There are armed US troops rolling around the Geofront, and I'm guessing they ain't there to go all Kaiju Defense Force when the Angels roll in. That speaks to them not trusting us. A career-minded and unscrupulous DA could make his career on locking up the psycho they gave an Eva to.

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, District Attorney Weinburg? Nicolas has a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for those men, and you curse NERV. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That the deaths of those men, while tragic, probably saved lives. And Nicolas' existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want him in that Eva, you NEED him in that Eva. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a PUNCHLINE! I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain my comrade to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that he provides, and then questions the manner in which he provides it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!

“There were three thugs, they demanded our I.D. cards and one of them had a knife. If we didn’t take care of them I expect we wouldn’t have gotten away with just losing our identification.” Samantha met Edward’s gaze, the two of them looked at each other for several moment. Turning his attention instead to Nicolas he starred at him as well. His gaze seemed to rest on his hands for a little too long, but eventually he turned away to walk down the platform. Samantha breathed a sigh of relief, and then pretended she wanted something from one of the vending machines.

As she starred blankly into the glass pane she saw Nicolas’s reflection appear behind her. His eyes were red rimmed, but he seemed better. Somehow he had managed to keep his hands from shaking the entire time Edward could see them.

“Why did you do that?” he asked. Samantha turned around, looking past him to NERV 07. The shape she had seen from a distance, the smooth oval, had been deceiving. Instead of being a smooth surface hundreds of gun ports, bolts, and crevices showed on the operation center. On its surface armed officers looked out, sitting in gun houses. Dozens of employees walked on railed cat walks to go about their business. As she stared Samantha considered her answer, why had she done that? It had only been a day and a half since she had met the kid, but already he had made an impression on her. She had said she wanted to be his friend earlier.

“Because I want us to be friends,” stated Samantha flatly, Nicolas looked back. His teeth gritted, and for a moment Samantha thought the look of anger was going to come again, but he calmed down, unclenching his balled fists.

“Friends? You could be friends with someone like me?” His voice sounded defeated, completely devoid of any feeling. Turning around, Nicolas began to walk across the platform.

“Yes, didn’t I say that before!” she shouted after him, but he didn’t turn around, and mumbled something. Despite the distance Samantha could make out a few words.

“Knights don’t tame monsters, they slay them.” He went down the stairs and out of sight. Samantha knew she wouldn’t be getting through to him, at least not until he calmed down. Maybe after their training that day she could talk to him at dinner, hopefully Lorenso had made something edible.

Following after him she headed for the entrance to NERV, a wide rolling entryway, filled to the brim with unnecessary fountains lead to an atrium. A security check was there, armed soldiers, both NERV and U.S. stood at the ready in case something occurred. Scanning her I.D. card Samantha went through. Now if only she knew exactly where they were keeping her evangelion. They had said something about calibrations, but for what? Looking around she tried to see something that could help, but realized how stupid it was. They would hardly have a sign saying “god slaying machines this way” now would they.

Across the floor someone waved though, and persisted to. No one else stood near Samantha, so she nervously waved back. The figure ran over, it was a a middle aged man. Balding head glared in the harsh artificial lighting, what little hair he had was salt and pepper.

“You must be Ms. Black. Good good, we’ll be running tests then, come with me.” He checked off a tally on his clipboard and turned around to leave, and after a few moments realized Samantha wasn’t following.

“Excuse me Ms. Black, but we really must get going. You are nearly late.” His pencil tapped impatiently on the metal clip board. The man stood nearly a foot taller than her and his skin hung loosely in jowls around his face.

“I’m sorry, but who are you?” The man chuckled before responding.

“How silly of me, not introducing myself. I thought you would have read the briefings. I’m Doctor Augustine, science director of NERV 07, and you young lady need to have your evangelion get its special fittings.”

[ ] Go with him
[ ] Demand more information on what they were doing to your eva.

If you choose to go with him then you may choose who you greet your eva. Give it a hug or some such.

The Tvar is essentially the monstrous side of Nikolai. Nikolai is a Russian werewolf, the second most dangerous werewolf in the setting. He dealt with his monstrous side by essentially dissociating it's thoughts from his own. This dissociated side is "Tvar". It constantly screams at him to let loose, to tear people apart, to embrace the beast and take his place as the ultimate apex predator, blah blah blah. By the time of the book, Nikolai had shut the Tvar out for years, only letting it loose when he had no other choice, on the full moon, and then only out in the middle of bumfuck siberia. Then his wife was killed. So he goes after the guy he thinks killed her, and Tvar comes back into prominence in his mind, in full force. When he catches up to the man he thinks killed her, he wrests control back from Tvar when he realizes he was wrong, that the killer was someone else. The part that really gives me the Tvar vibe is >>22631626
>Though the voice was coming out of Nicolas’s mouth it wasn’t him. A hiss of mixed hatred and glee.
Perhaps Nicolas' heraldry should involve a Werewolf in some way.

>>22633028
I will be honest I got slight chills when he said: "The kind that saves our world." after he got screamed at for being a monster. That boy is bat shit insane... and I am really itching to know why.

The base didn’t seem like a proper military one. After the governments of the world had taken a much firmer hand with NERV they no longer could expect money be thrown at them without having a good PR division. High vaulted ceilings and stainless steel were everywhere, in a better person’s eye the place could have be considered artistic. To Samantha it only seemed to be a lot of unnecessary extra walkways and stairs she had to take.

Eventually they left the public face of NERV and headed into the real division. Augustine led the way into a EVA observation chamber, through the glass Samantha could see the face of her evangelion. The face had a single set of eyes, hidden behind armor plating that formed a harsh visor. Samantha had never seen it from this perspective, it was a proper knights evangelion.

“Now, it hasn’t been specifically fitted to your particular biostructure. You managed to pilot it with it only having your basic information inside. Today we’ll be letting it do a full scan of you and tailoring itself to your brainwaves and what not,” the old man practically pranced forward to the control console. Around him half a dozen scientists were working at their own stations.

Getting closer to the glass Samantha looked out at the chamber, it was covered with white panels, except for the large umbilical cable attached to the evangelion’s back. The armor was silver and grey, the unpainted steel gleaming in the artificial light. Around the edges blue and gold trim traded off on the different plates. Samantha could just stare at her evangelion for hours, it really was hers, she had finally made it here.
>>
>>22633570
Years she had worked to make it this far, training for endless hours, enduring the anger and bitterness of her fellow neo spartan. They had grown to hate her, for her talent or her honor she didn’t really know. It all amounted to the same thing in the end. It had all been worth it though, as long as she could fly and fight. Next to her the scientist pointed with one hand towards a door leading out of the chamber. With the other hand he continued to type at blinding speeds.

“Come on then girl, there is only so much I can do without you in there, and I’ve already imputed all the local atmospheric and environmental conditions. If you don’t get into your plugsuit in the next three minutes I might just have to get you in there for you.” Samantha glared at the creepy old man, but he seemed serious. Leaving through the door she found another room with a shower and lockers. It seemed to be paneled in the same nondescript white tiles as outside, only scaled down, and the entire place smelled of disinfectant. He plugsuit hung on a rack in front of her. Taking a quick rinse she pulled on the plug suit and headed for her evangelion. Already the entry hatch lay open for her, before going in Samantha leaned over to give the Eva a quick hug.

Climbing inside she heard a voice over the intercom, it was the old man’s again. It was grainy and slightly static filled, but clear enough for her to hear. Samantha listened while settling and waiting for the LCL to pour into the cock pit. Even if she did love her eva, the taste of salt and iron would be something she never got used to. Just try not to think about it, she told herself as the voice became distorted by the liquid, your tongue would give up on tasting it soon enough.
>>
>>22633584
“Now, some displays will be appearing. It’ll have a few things for you to enter. There are no right or wrong answers, so simply do it as you see fit. Then it will be running a full body scan and aligning itself to you. Not much else to it, just sit back, relax, and let’s get this show on the road!” the last words were said with a unnerving happiness, did NERV really have to have a resident mad scientist. Samantha bet he had named the five magi something stupid too.

The LCL glowed, passing through several colors before becoming clear and showing her a view of the chamber. In front of her face though half a dozen messages appeared. Most were easy to answer, but a bit odd. Questions about her background, life at the school in Seattle, how she felt about it. Why did this matter. Finally only one question remained.

‘What do you want to be?’ Samantha starred at it, unsure of how to answer.

>So everyone, what do you want to be? I will be doing this as a quick draw. It will not accept all answers, so think carefully. If someone replies I will say if it is an acceptable answer or not so you guys can plan accordingly.

"What do I want?
To dream ... the impossible dream ...
To fight ... the unbeatable foe ...
To bear ... with unbearable sorrow ...
To run ... where the brave dare not go ...
To right ... the unrightable wrong ...
To love ... pure and chaste from afar ...
To try ... when your arms are too weary ...
To reach ... the unreachable star ...
This is my quest, to follow that star ...
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far ...
To fight for the right, without question or pause ...
To be willing to march into Hell, for a Heavenly cause ...
And I know if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest,
That my heart will lie will lie peaceful and calm,
when I'm laid to my rest ...
And the world will be better for this:
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach ... the unreachable star ..."

“I want to To dream... the impossible dream ...” Samantha continued on her monologue, pouring her heart out to the machine. If it wanted an answer it got one. Around her she felt something, it was odd. It wasn’t a physical feeling, maybe a shift in the LCL, or simple the light, but it felt like there was something inside the evangelion. Had it heard her? The evangelions, there had been stories of what they really were passed between students in Seattle. Some had thought they were actually alive, grown rather than built. Others thought they had a human soul put into a machine. Samantha had never really believed this, it was just a weapon in her hand, a partner, but not alive.

What she felt though, was something reaching out to her, something replying to her. It felt like something touched her face, Samantha tried to move in the LCL, but she couldn’t THe voice of the old scientist came over the speakers again.

“Don’t worry, that’s just the body scan. I know it can be a tad uncomfortable, but bear with it.” The entire eva, she could feel it around her. The body began to move, change into something else. It started with her arms, they became more slender. Her legs followed suit, and from her forehead a sudden pain came. This was the full body scan? it felt like something was looking at her straight in the face, starring through her eyes back into her soul. A scream welled up in her throat, but she couldn’t force it out.

The fringe burst, spines forming into a knight’s plume. The armor plating shifted, growing into the semblance of a suit of armor. Samantha blinked, and when her eyes opened again something was wrong. Something actually was starring back at her, it looked like her, an identical copy, except completely naked. It was floating in the LCL in front of her, with a smile on its face.
>>
>>22634284
The hair floated back around its head, forming a black halo. Pain shot through Samantha’s leg, she could still move her eyes at least, and as she looked down she realized something was wrong. They looked like veins, except over and inch wide and spider webbing across her calf. It pulsed, and each beat sent the lines coursing further upward. The pain was unbearable, fire spread from the entry up her torso.

Around her the evangelion moved, one of the arms going forwards to press against the wall. The alternate her finally broke eye contact to look forwards. both arms were raised now, and an A.T. field began to form it front of her. It morphed, shaping itself into something. One of her eva’s arm struck the wall, cracking panels and sending shard flying.

“It’s going berserk! Disconnect the umbilical!” the voice over the intercom shouted. The umbilical forced its way off her back. Damn, she was better than this. Samantha tried to move her arms, but they wouldn’t so much as budge. The A.T. ball became denser, folding in on itself many times. Something formed in its center. She couldn’t make out what exactly it was. One of her hands reached for it.

No! She shouted in her mind. You’re my evangelion, and you will listen to me, not her! The alternate her turned around, her eyes were gone, instead replaced by pitch black holes in her head. When her mouth opened thousands of fangs spread inwards. Samantha starred back, she wasn’t afraid, she was a knight, a savior of the weak. It was her duty. The arm of the eva began to retract, their two wills battled against each other.
>>
>>22634289
Despite the pain in her leg Samantha managed somehow to keep focus, her mind swam, but all her might funneled down to one point, to keep her hand from reaching into the center of that ball. The other her screamed, and mixed with what ever was coming over the intercom. inside the cockpit Samantha reached forward too, gritting her teeth against the pain. With one final effort she punched forward, and her hand went through. The other dissolved back into the LCL, and the ball dissipated.

Looking down she saw what ever had been on her leg disappeared as well. Samantha leaned back, wanting to breath easy, but realizing the LCL made that pointless. The evangelion slumped down, the power counter still ticking.

“What happened? Ms. Black are you ok, all we could get was static?” it was the scientist, what was his name? It didn’t matter right now, she needed to answer.

That works.

We could also name it Rocinante after Quixote's horse. King Arthur was said to have ridden horses named Llamrei and Hengroen. Sadly, Lancelot doesn't have any named steeds.
>>
>>22634556
It was existential and shit. Like was said in thread 1, "Angels don't have to make sense, they just have to kill you."
>>
>>22634556
First battle, we were inside the Angel, our feet touched the ground and it tried to eat one of them and insert itself into the leg, it seemed to have succeeded at the second one. We got in, the part of the Angel tried to vie for dominance, we won and shot its punk ass down because we're a knight and it was a knave. The AT ball was probably just full of bad stuff.
>>
>>22634476
Well remember, in Eva it wasn't straight depression and sadness from the start. The first few episodes seemed like a pretty standard super robot show, albeit with some darker elements and a protagonist who's basically a "fuck you, this is what you would be like you fat sweaty otaku" to the audience. The first signs of shit unravelling didn't show up until Both of You, Dance Like You Want To Win!/Moment and Heart Together when Asuka crawls in next to Shinji then cries out for her momma, but even that's more "okay, so what was that about?" the first time you see it. The Descent Arc doesn't really start until Ambivalence/The Choice of Life, when Toji gets Toji'd. That's the point where everything starts TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN TUMBLING DOWN! into the ball of depression and grimness that we all think of when we think of Eva.

“Something happened, or someone happened. I don’t know. I won though, it couldn’t made me do... what ever it was trying to do.” On the other end of the intercom Samantha could hear arguing, and the clear tones of Edward shouting something at the scientist. She just wanted to sleep for now, what ever had just happened had been exhausting.

“Samantha,” the voice was Edwards this time, “we’re going to be ejecting you now. Once you come out you will give me a full briefing on exactly what happened while you were inside the plug.” Samantha felt a shift as the back of the Evangelion opened, and spat out the plug. The LCL drained away, and the hatch opened to allow her exit. Though her leg still hurt, and a throbbing in her head had begun, Samantha still managed to stagger her way out of the plug and across the cat walk back towards the changing room.

Once inside she saw Edwards standing there, he had already taken off his coat and had his sleeves rolled up to the elbow. Somewhere he had found a medical kit and was washing his hands in the basin near the door. Through the few windows lining the wall Samantha could see her changed evangelion. it really did look like a proper knight now, the shoulder fins had flattened into pauldron, and the blade had somehow passed through her body to come to rest at a built in sheath on the evangelion’s waist.

“Are you hurt, what happened when you went berserk?” Edward came over and grabbed Samantha’s face, turning her head left and right to examine it. Directing her to one of the benches he sat her down and began pulling at her arm. From inside the medical bag he retrieved a pair of rubber gloves, putting them on before turning back.

“I don’t know, there was something in there with me. it looked like me, but it wasn’t. Also my leg, it hurt so bad. I don’t know what was wrong.” At this Edward pressed the button to decompress her suit, it expanded to hang loosely off her slim frame. Rolling up the ankle cuff he examined her leg. Bruising in the exact shape of the tendrils traveled upwards to her knee.

“This isn’t good, we examined you in the hospital and didn’t detect any physical corruption. There might be a possibility however that there was mental bleed over. You are to not pilot an evangelion until we do a full examination of you once again. The training dummies are fine, but you are disbarred from the actual thing,” Edward scratched his head and starred at the machine, its new form.

Samantha didn’t answer, she was still feeling woozy, and the image of the other her persisted in her head. it’s open maw, it was terrifying, but it hadn’t felt like an agel. The thing didn’t have the same feeling, not the terror. Samantha didn’t know what to think, the entire series of events had come and got too quickly.

“Agent Black! Do you hear me? I gave you an order!” shouted Edward, he had finally pulled the cuff back down and was beginning to pack up.

“Yes sir!” samantha added weakly as she stood up and began to undress. Edward didn’t seem to notice, but when he looked up his face immediately reddened and he hastened to finish packing. over the intercoms a voice came.

“Damn, we won’t be able to reconfigure it for another few weeks after something that violent.” The voice of the scientist came over the intercom. Samantha finished undressing and found a new uniform waited for her, clean of the blood stains.

Guys, why are you so excited about Excalibur? You should be more excited about it's SCABBARD!
>>
>>22634902
Everyone I am having issues, apparently 4chan things my last post for the turn is spam. I need to reformat and shit.

>>22634902
NERV Science Department: Pofessional as fuck.

>>22634840
>You should be more excited about it's SCABBARD!
Why?
>>
>>22634974
Excalibur's Sheath was purported to have powers of it's own. Including the bearer not suffering the consequences of blood loss/not bleeding (varies by source).
>>
>>22634917
Put it in a text document and take a screenshot. Post that with a derisive comment about 4chan.
>>
Ok what the fuck, it won't let me post it.
>>
>>22634840
>You should be more excited about it's SCABBARD!

while the Scabbard's attributes are quite nice to have, it is the Blade that is symbolic in this situation at hand
>>
>>22635009
Throw up a pastebin and link us for now.
>>
>>22635009
fragment it more
>>
So I guess our next quest is to find the horn of Avalon so we can get Excalibur? Is it just me or are we getting crazier and crazier? Must be the stress.
>>
This is god damn embarrassing, but here is a paste bin to the text: http://pastebin.com/7hNYEBD0

Anyway, here are your options.

[ ] Go with Augustine
[ ] Try to find someone else to take you, like a fellow pilot
[ ] Go home and rest
[ ] Other

Also, for everyone, this is the last full turn of today. After this I will write a short blurb for the mini turn and then be around to answer question. Next thread will be on Sunday at 22:00.
>>
>>22635061
I still just want a sword made out of an A.T. field. We don't seem to be good at A.T., but an A.T. weapon. Shit would be awesome.
>>
Everyone raise your hand, who is a Terrancefag and who is a Nickyfag?

I'm a Nickyfag, the fucker may be a psycho, but he is our psycho.
>>
[ ] Go with Augustine
Good idea to get on the good side of the local wackjobs.
>>
>>22635061
>Is it just me or are we getting crazier and crazier?

We're a teenage girl who pilots a giant haunted cyborg knight and whose every thought and life decision is the result of consensus achieved by several anonymous twenty-something men.

How would we NOT be crazy?
>>
>>22635061
Go find nicky.
>>22635103
Nickyfag, Terrance seems like an ass.
>>
>>22635117
He seems full mad scientist... also, speaking of eva scientists...

Who invented evangelions? Who made the first from scratch?
>>
>>22635076
We have little interest in a science facility. Let's go home and paint/read Arthurian shit
>>
Rolled 79

>>22635103
Nicky Fag for the win
>>
>>22635076
I think we need to paint this out. Maybe also start on that picture of Nicky
>>
>>22635076
>[ ] Try to find someone else to take you, like a fellow pilot
>>22635103
No. We are NOT forming trenches. Besides you're forgetting the PilotOrgyfags and the Nataliafags.
Nickyfag. He's just so sweet and vulnerable. Like a puppy.
>>22635146
>Who invented evangelions? Who made the first from scratch?
>from scratch
They aren't made from scratch, and Project E was HUGE, with dozens of brilliant scientists, all experts in their fields, like Kyoko Zeppelin Sohryu and Yui Ikari, involved.
>>
>>22635076
Let us track down Nicky and have him come with us and we can paint him in hunam form!
>>
>>22635076
>[ ] Go home and rest

We could probably use a little quiet time with the old sketchbook after that little episode.
>>
>>22635175
I know, it just seems like something Faggot would do.

"Oh yeah, that dick ass unprofessional old scientist? He helped create the Evangelions."
>>
>>22635076
[X] Try to find someone else to take you, like a fellow pilot

Also etch the sight of our Eva into our mind so we can paint it later. And if we're allowed to give it another hug.
>>
>>22635177
>>22635175
>>22635129

Seems like we're heading off to find Nicky. Give me a roll to see if you actually find him. If you fail you're stuck with...

>multiple dramatic camera angles

Doctor Augustine.
>>
>>22635192
Oh he very well COULD have been involved, and considering that he's head of the Science division of a NERV branch he probably was involved on some level.

He doesn't seem like a bad sort, just creepy.

>>22635214
God damn it dice, this kid needs help.
>>
>>22635217
Yeah your probably right, but as the head, and because he isn't dead, I predict he had a fairly important role.

Maybe he developed the Mk III evas, Faggot said that's what they were on now.
>>
>>22635229
OH NOW YOU HELP ME.
>>
>>22635229
Psychic senses activate, we will find this boy... we will!
>>
>>22635229
and it looks like we'll give some help after all

>>22635229
Oh yeah! We rolled perfect on something where the worst thing that could happen was go with a creepy scientist...

No, we don't do this when preventing the third impact...

They call her lady luck but there is room for doubt, because sometimes she has a very unladylike way of runnin' out.

Samantha walked slowly, though her leg felt like jelly some of the strength was returning, and at least her balances seemed to have gone back to normal. Rubbing her eyes, Samantha walked back through the double doors. Augustine was sitting at his console, slowly spinning while shoveling noodles into his mouth from an instant ramen cup. His eyes met Samantha’s and waved her over.

“Ah, I suppose he suggested I take you around didn’t he?” said the men with a chuckle, “But as you can see I am very buys with... with...” looking around he picked up a pencil and threw it at one of the scientists, who turned around rubbing the back of his head.

“Arnold, what am I busy with?” The young lab assistant looked confused, glancing back from the cup to the man’s face.

“I don’t know sir, um, measurements?” he answered nervously. The scientist perked up, and poured the last of his meal down his gullet, turning around he pressed a few buttons and an image flicked onto the screen. It was Nicolas, sitting in a locker room. Terrance and Natalia were there as well.

“Now, as you just heard I am very busy with measurements, and I believe you’d rather have one of them show you around right? Now, just leave here, walk down the hallway, take the stares three floors up, go right, and three doors down on your left is where they are. Scoot scoot little miss, best make it before they leave.” The old scientist turned back, pulling a candy bar from a small basket on the console containing about a dozen of them. He waved without turning around as she left the room.

There you go everyone, your half turn and more crazy scientist. Now, it's time for Q&A! Remember everyone, Sunday at 22:00 is the next thread!
>>
>>22635365
Oh and I almost forgot, I archived the thread for everyone! Just so you all know. I believe I will start linking to archives every thread from now on.
>>
>>22635365
It's official, I like him. We're gonna have to add Augustine fag to the list.

what is that now? Seven different types...
Nickyfag
Terrancefag
Natfag
Orgypilefag
I think SF is a Lorensofag
Augustinefag
and Jonathanfag
>>
>>22635408
I don't think we need a fag for everything. I mean... it's not like we want to set up Sam with him do we?
>>
So everyone, I want to take your impressions on what the fuck just happened to us in the Eva. I mean I knew the encroachment was gonna bite us in the ass, but not that badly.
>>
>>22635451
I think it went rather well. The EVA obviously respects us.
>>
>>22635463
What gave you that impression? Though I am currently with the theory that it wasn't an angel, but it was our eva doing all that.
>>
>>22635451
The Angel left a bit of itself inside our Eva. When we synched up with the Eva it synched up with us as well, and then tried to override our control. The Eva went Berserk, started doing something freaky, and possibly swordy, with the AT field, and then we told the Angel to fuck off and get out of our Eva, it might be sticking around waiting though.

I think our Eva likes us.
>>
>>22635473
We aren't dead.
>>
Oh yes, almost forgot! If anyone has any questions I am willing to answer! Also I love discussion, you guys always generate such delicious ideas.

Also I am thinking of running the quest a tad earlier to allow for eastcoastfags and eurofags to be able to participate too. The more audience the more better! Right?
>>
>>22635451
well i'm guessing that the Not-Us that was in the tube with us is either the Evangelion trying to contact us or it's a Angel, if that's not it then i don't what the hell is
>>
>>22635478
Good point.
>>
>>22635498
I make excellent points. And get excellent rolls.
>>
>>22635488
Okay well you know we have to fall in love with the nicky and then watch him being torn apart by an angel infront of us bringing us to a rage that not even old Nicky could have ever felt.

Our wave of destruction would make the 2nd coming look like that time I sat on my balls when I was drunk.
>>
>>22635527
We should paint a portrait of him, but not looking scared or wrathful, one of him looking calm, proud, and protective. And tell him that this is what we see in him when we look into his eyes and we don't know why he can't see it too, possibly while crying.
>>
>>22635527
Or it causes the Not-Us to come back, and we draw our sword.... fuck I really want it to be a sword.
>>
>>22635564
Yeah, the whole "A knight doesn't tame monsters, they slay them" thing was fucking heavy. He really does think he is a complete monster.
>>
>>22635592
Which knight was it that went crazy at times? Sir Cedric?
>>
>>22635635
I don't know, never was into arthurian legend.

>>22635635
Well, Lancelot went mad with grief at one point, look up the Folie Lancelot.
>>
>>22635650
Well, either way, we need to let him know we don't think of him as a monster. Using a knight as an example probably isn't the best way to go about it, but it's definitely what Sam would do.
>>
>>22635677
We already tried that. He knows we want to be his friend, he doesn't seem to care... too much baggage.
>>
Ok everyone, five more minutes until I retire for sleep! If you have any burning questions, ask now. If not the next thread will be on Sunday at 22:00 4chan time!

well i thought this paintwerk turned out alright
>>
Some things i want to do in the future:

Train swordsmanship and/or martial arts with nicky. Its quite easy. Only he can defeat this monster, and that is by growing stronger than it and crushing it. We can't do it for him, it hides inside of his soul. So we will teach him. And he will best the monster, like the true knight we are going to turn him into.

Also, ask for some spraypaint. Ask to be allowed to paint the shield of our EVA. The more time spend with our steed, the better.

Oh, and do a giant wallpainting of Avalon, the Lake and Camelon in our bedroom. When people come in to us they should think they have entered the pre-fall green island.
>>
>>22636249
We should also get Nicky to drag out his oil paints and paint along with us.
