Video | June 6th | Late Evening

[The camera shakes violently as it clicks on, panning around for a moment before landing on the disgruntled face of Asuka.]

I don’t care who sees this, but someone damn well better get me some new clothes! I’m not sitting around in this torn up plug suit just because some stupid machine decided to bring me to this stupid place!

[She shakes the device a little, causing the camera to wheel once again.]

And if someone doesn’t bring me clothes RIGHT. NOW. I’m gonna start kicking all of your asses the moment I see each and every one of you!

[It’s obvious that she is upset as she curses to herself about stupid people and stupid machines and stupid MP Evas, the camera still rolling through her muttered tantrum, the sounds of things being knocked over underlying her words until the camera itself is suddenly thrown and turns off with the impact of hitting the wall.]

[Sounds a lot less stressed than she had in her first message.]

It turns out I only had to hurt one person. And I accidentally left the feed on for it. I'm sure you can see it if you look for it.

[He looks.]

Wow, I doubt you could've picked anyone less offensive to punch.

[Still, he approves of her style, so he sends her a link to his FAQ.] Here, read this.

If you think that idiot's not offensive then you obviously don't know anything about him.

[But... she does read the FAQ, just because she knows it's good to have as much information as possible.]

...I'm not throwing myself down a flight of stairs. That would be stupid.

He's perfectly inoffensive to me. I can see how he might drive someone else nuts. Especially someone from the same world.

[Mello imagines most people would find little objectionable about Near, after all, assuming they saw enough of him to form an opinion.]

The stairs thing works, but there are obviously better ways.

[Oh, well... it's nice to know that someone understands her distaste for Shinji.]

What are the other ways? I'd like to get started fighting as soon as possible.

I'm a Meister, but I asked my partner about this a while ago. He says you just concentrate. Focusing on why you want to fight seems to help.

That sounds a hell of a lot better.

I can definitely concentrate! As long as it's not an all day thing like some of the tests we ran, ugh.

It's not as difficult as people make it out to be.

What's your problem with Shinji?

[Decides to answer that question as concisely as she can.]

Everything.

He's a coward and an idiot and I wish I'd never met him.

What the hell did he do to you?

A lot of things. But mostly I'm pissed at him for abandoning me when I needed help.

[Huff puff]

Fair enough.

I have a hard time imagining him doing anything that requires initiative. He doesn't make much of an impression.

[He's aware enough of possibly being unfair that he's glad Kaworu won't hear this.]

...that's... pretty much it, right there. And when he's one of the most important people on the team? Not a good combination.

[...aw, she actually admitted that he's important!]

[He notices that: interesting. Mello's sense of rivalry might work overtime as much as some people's sense of romance, but he's sure something is going on beneath the surface.]

And Kaworu?

[There is a long pause, followed by one confused word: ]

...who?

Huh. I assumed if you knew Shinji, you'd know him. Silver hair, looks like a teenager?

....

[She lets out a soft huff.]

...that sounds like the Fifth Child. Ugh. What an ass...

'Fifth Child'? What does that mean?

[Good grief, why does no one know anything?]

It means he was the fifth Eva pilot. I'm the second.

[Mello has always found Kaworu's being an angel by the far the most interesting detail about him or his world, and this girl has to know that, right?]

But you're human. Aren't you?

Huh? Of course I'm human! What else would I be? ... geez.

[What a weird question wow]

[So she doesn't know. Mello has a cover story.]

You can't always assume here. And this 'Child' business sounds like genetic engineering to me.

[Lets out an irritated noise.]

Well it's not. We're just special children who can pilot the Evas.

[THANK GOD HE'S NOT TELLING HER ABOUT KAWORU WOW.]

Children? How old are you?

[Is feeling like she shouldn't have emphasized the fact that they were children....]

I'm fourteen.

[Tries to make herself sound older as she says this...]
