Fünfte: Couldn't we have used Rock Band instead?

[red_devil_02]

*Over the course of the week, Shinji and Asuka have been forcibly moved in with the NERV field commander, Misato Katsuragi, and are undergoing immersive training to work together on a coordinated attack to defeat the latest Angel - living together in a small apartment 24/7, ordered to do everything together, and trying to coordinate movements to a

-Shinji starts up the same song from before again, per Misato's orders. The two of them have lost all patience, and thus, all sense of tact, screaming and swearing at each other as their preferred form of communication.-

Asuka! Move your fat ass already! I might be a turnip but at least I've got some sense of rhythm! Why do you keep moving left when I move right, anyway?!

[red_devil_02]

Because you're the one who's behind, moron!

I swear, I should just quit. It's not like they've got anyone else who can do this job!

-Rei is sitting nearby, having been asked by Misato to be present, and has no intention of speaking up. She does not realize that she's twitching her index finger to the rhythm of the music.-

[red_devil_02]

You got something to say, Wondergirl?

[zomg_teh_rei]

Nothing.

[a_young_legend]

Why don't you just shut up already? Rei didn't do anything wrong, don't take it out on her.

-Shinji flails in the general direction of the screen.-

There! Up, down, jump... oof!

-And, of course, he ends up falling over in a spectacular mess. Again.-

God...

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!

Deus please get on AIM sometime in the next ever

[red_devil_02]

That's it. I quit.

First, have the fuck at it, and when you prove this is impossible, I'll be over here to hear Misato's next brilliant plan.

-Rei wordlessly stands and walks over to take Asuka's place. When the music starts up again, she proceeds to sync her movements with Shinji's perfectly.-

[[Argh can't upload new userpic have an old one]]

Argh! I can't stand this!

*storms out, totally not about to cry*

[zomg_teh_rei]

*watches as Asuka leaves*

What can't she stand?

[gattai_dood]

*Hero tugs at Rei* Can I try, dood? I love DDR!

*he proceeds to make a complete spectacle of himself, horribly failing at matching Shinji's movements, even falling flat on his beak near the end.*

*Lovely and Fake, meanwhile, are over by PenPen. Lovely is attempting to conversate with the penguin, completely ignoring Fake*

Soooo, dood, how long you been here <3?

What'd you do to become a prinny, dood <3?

Why aren't you answering me, dood <3!?

...Fine! You want a staring contest, dood, you got one! <3 <3 <3!

*she glares, unblinking, at the penguin*

*Fake sighs* It's not a prinny, dood...
*he puts a fin to his face, embarassed* You two are hopeless, dood.

[a_young_legend]

Do you really want to know, Rei?

What she can't stand... is herself. Herself, and you.

[red_devil_02]

*a shoe flies back through the door and nails Shinji neatly in the head*

When a woman storms off, you're supposed to follow her, idiot!

-Shinji stumbles and swears and now looks rather alarmed.-

Jesus! Okay, I'm coming, I'm coming!

-Shinji does as he is told. He approaches Asuka hesitantly. He opens his mouth to speak, then closes it; this happens several times before Shinji can piece together anything coherent.-

Asuka...

Look, I'm sorry for yelling at you. I'm just... I'm frustrated with myself, not with you. Honestly, you are more talented than I'll ever be, and maybe...

-Shinji struggles with his next few words.-

Maybe I'm jealous of that. But this isn't the time for name-calling. We shouldn't be arguing like this. There's a fucking monster out there who's going to go on a bloody rampage, and we're the only ones who can stop it! That has to mean something to you, right
