Hey, I have a proposition for the best Eva pilot in the world. It involves Paintball.

That sentence got much better as it went on. Where?

[duo_death_god]

I rented out that big place a couple of miles south of the base for Sunday afternoon. I was thinking of something along the lines of an afternoon of brutally shooting the crap out of each other.

[red_devil_02]

You are very much on.

[duo_death_god]

Oh but I wasn't done yet. As exciting as paintball is, and aside from being a battle for the honor of Gundams or Evas, I think we need to up the stakes a bit more.

Are you a gambling girl, Asuka?

[red_devil_02]

I am in countries where the age for it is 17 or lower. Did you have something in mind?

[duo_death_god]

Nothing too outrageous. When we're both too tired to keep playing, the loser must perform a forfeit of the winner's choice.

[red_devil_02]

That's a pretty dangerous bet to make with me. You're on.

[duo_death_god]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[The next day, plus a few hours]

[A panting, sweaty Asuka covered in blue paint is standing over a Duo covered in slightly more red paint.]

Told you this was a dangerous bet.

[duo_death_god]

I'm guessing asking you to be gentle with me would be a waste of breath.

[red_devil_02]

You know me so well.

[She will help him up though.]

[duo_death_god]

Still worth it though. That was fun, and way more interesting than dinner and a movie.

[He wipes the twigs and dirt off his back and paint off his face.]

Alright then, what's the damage?

[red_devil_02]

...I didn't really think this through, actually.

There's a lot of embarrassing things I could make you do, but I don't know if they'd actually work to embarrass you.

[duo_death_god]

Do you really think so? Maybe. I figured you would go for extortion before humiliation, though.

[red_devil_02]

The question is what do you have that I want?

[duo_death_god]

Well I'm sure not helping you pinpoint my weak spots or what you can dig out of me. You'll have to figure that out on your own.
