[Rei is standing on the roof. She turns the video on, then sets the camera down and walks away from it. Stopping at the edge of the roof, she stands still for a minute with the breeze ruffling her hair and her clothes.

Then she steps out into the air and is gone.]

life has death for neighbor, but no such winds blow hither

Rei? Rei! [Oh god this is her fault or something, that stupid event ruined everything, what the hell was Rei doing?? Elaine is going to dive out of her window and fly up to the roof.]

[Rei watches Elaine head up there, suspended in the air by her AT Field. After a moment, she moves up to join her.]

Elaine.

[The rate of Elaine's wings slows when she catches sight of Rei. She's surprised for a moment, but her emotions soon settle into relief, with a tinge of confusion.] Rei. What are you doing?

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 06:19:42 UTC

A test.

[Rei lands on the roof and goes to retrieve the recording device.]

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 06:24:54 UTC

What kind of a test? [Although she wouldn't be able to say why, Elaine remains flying. Subconsciously, she still wants to be ready to catch Rei if she does jump off the roof.]

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 06:26:58 UTC

Using my AT Field. [She assumes that after that event, Elaine will know what she's referring to.]

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 06:29:47 UTC

[She does, although those memories are starting to slide away. Still, some things stand out.] Yes, but why... [She trails off. Maybe she was the reason for this.] Did I damage it?

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 06:34:16 UTC

No. It's hard to do. [In theory, Elaine probably could neutralize Rei's AT Field if she wanted to. But that would require destroying her psyche or body.]

The AT Field can be used in many ways. I should learn how.

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 06:37:35 UTC

That's good. [Finally content that this is a purely innocent test, Elaine settles down onto the roof.]

...Rei, I haven't apologized for the event yet. I'm sorry. [It's a bit of a topic change, but it's also directly related to her AT field. Elaine feels like she needs to talk about Instrumentality, especially with Rei.]

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 06:41:13 UTC

[Rei looks at her silently for a moment. She's not used to being apologized to by anyone but Shinji. After a minute, she nods.]

I understand.

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 06:48:34 UTC

[Although she's still not quite used to Rei's confusing answers, she takes that as a sign of forgiveness.] You've had a really difficult time.

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 06:51:43 UTC

No. [After a second, she realizes that might require clarification, and adds:] Following orders isn't difficult.

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 07:02:41 UTC

Maybe only because you've been doing that your whole life. [Oh boy is following orders dirfficult, especially for Elaine!]

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 07:06:06 UTC

[Admittedly, Rei's life hasn't been very long. And following orders gives her purpose in a way nothing else does.] It's what I know.

[Action] demiurgos_girl November 11 2010, 07:12:17 UTC

The evil you know, huh? [She shifts her weight from one foot to the other, uncomfortable, trying to remember what she knew during the event.] You've disobeyed orders before, haven't you? At least once.

[Action] second_first November 11 2010, 17:36:49 UTC

Yes. [She had killed the angel rather than retreating.]

...Why?
