Run [Open]
Asuka could never quite remember how or when she'd gotten into the habit of a daily run. She remembered training with someone on the ship - but their face and name were always just out of reach, on the tip of her tongue. That was frustrating, so she tried not to think on it. Of course, then she'd signed up for Rogue Squadron and they'd had to do that whole boot camp thing and by now, it was just a part of her daily routine. Get up, go out, sims, running. It kept her in shape and it kept her from going stir-crazy. Even the sensoriums got stifling and too fake after a while.
So she ran. The amount of available clothing had dropped, of course, so she was just in her plant suit - which was freaky as hell, but it was that or run in the nude and that wasn't about to happen. This helped her think, anyway. Just the slap of her feet on the pavement, the relative silence of the city - it was a bit eerie at times, but she preferred being alone like this.
Occasionally she would summon up memories and faces from home - Misato, Shinji, Wonder Girl. She would wonder if they were in the pods - and then she'd dismiss the idea. They weren't here. It didn't matter. She was fine on her own and she didn't care about them anyway. Today's run was coming to an end, anyway. She turned onto another street, accelerating slightly.
Just a few blocks more.
