For a long, long time she'd simply stared at her powered-down computer monitor, trying to will the familiar sounds out of her head. She remembered that day. Even two years later, it still came back, clear and sharp and just as traumatic. There were days she didn't think about it. Weeks, months, even. But it always came back to haunt her, one way ( Read more... )

Asuka stretched, one arm held high over her head. It was the beginning of the day - time for a shower. She tugged the towel tied around her middle a bit higher and then reached up to pluck out her nerve clips. She set them aside. The apartment was quiet (it usually was in the morning) and she didn't think she'd be disturbed ( Read more... )

It was actually fairly difficult to try and carry an adult, even if there were three of them. It wasn't because Misato was heavy (she wasn't, especially), but because she was just bigger then any of them. It was something of a placing that they onl had to stagger a few steps to dump her onto the couch. They were back in the apartment that Asuka had ( Read more... )

Asuka grinned to herself. Today was a good day. She had the day off, the A/C was running, and she had a TiVoed football match to watch. She flopped back on the sofa, remote control in one hand, can of soda in the other. With a few clicks, she brought up the game and started it running. One of the things she hated about living in Japan was being ( Read more... )

Asuka took the last few steps down two at a time and turned into the lobby of the dorm. Jet was supposed to show up sometime soon and Kaworu was in the building. Somewhere. She sat down on the couch and let out a small yawn. She'd been up a bit late last night and she was still trying to wake up entirely.  She slumped back, staring up at the ( Read more... )

[Asuka grinned, surveying the (relatively) small room she'd managed to get for her little party. Booth, karaoke stage, some food, good selection of music. Everything looked to be in order. She brushed some hair out of her face and found herself a seat, sprawling herself out. She had everything. Now all she needed were the guests...]

Hurry up already ( Read more... )

Asuka perched herself on the edge of the counter, legs swinging as she looked around the small kitchenette. She had to admit, these dorms were nice. Johnny was supposedly coming over. With cake. And that thought actually made her smile slightly. Johnny reminded her so much of Kaji sometimes. The way he acted, he was almost like a guardian to her. ( Read more... )

Asuka paced the walkway outside the small apartment, clutching her laptop case and a duffel bag with a few other essentials. This would be good for her. Really. Getting away from here. Getting away from... whatever it was. Probably stress. Just stress, yes. She sighed softly, waiting. She did hope this would be fun, or at least get her mind off of ( Read more... )

[The red-head paces to one tree, then turns, her skirt whirling and walks back towards the other. They said they were going to meet here, in this park in Iwatodai. She'd had to walk from where she'd been dropped off, but that was normal. The walk to school was longer. Asuka's hands twist together for a moment and then she shakes them apart. Don't ( Read more... )
