Hmph. So, you decided on me after all. Well, at least you have the good sense to not go with the damn emotionless doll...but seriously...

...And while I should be flattered that you chose me for a "muse", after all I -am- among the elite and chosen to defend mankind, I think you're still an idiot. You can't even figure out one simple, little plan for anyone else running around in this "headspace" thing...what makes you think you'll manage something that isn't stupid for me to do?

Besides, it's not like I want to make friends anyway. I don't even like people and I do have to worry about my scores...my position and future with NERV is much more important than a game or two with strangers. (She also silently makes the note that it's not like anyone will ever see her for the true her anyway. No one ever has. That thought should hurt, she knows, but really she feels nothing. Asuka is used to this truth.)

But, you know, a tiny part of me would find it nice...but...I don't really need any phony friends...that's soooo not me. Besides, people just use each other anyway. There's no such thing as a true 50/50 give and take.

(A slight pause.) AND WHY IN THE HELL AM I TELLING YOU THIS?!

I dare suspect you felt someone should hear it, eh?

[whatareyoustupid]

I'd say you're entirely wrong. (She crosses her arms. Okay, maybe he was a little right...slightly...right.) Maybe, I'm just putting her on notice. She seems just as dense as someone else I know.

[olympic_lion]

[Okay, now she's just reminding him of Tony Stark. How many people are there in the world who just reflexively start with 'you're wrong'?]

Such a terrible burden for you to bear, putting up with her. If only people could keep up with you!

Of course, if she values you enough to choose you as a muse, does that not mean she appreciates what you have to say? Mayhap you might consider advising her on such important matters, surely she would be grateful for such piercing insight.

[whatareyoustupid]

Not even on a good day. She's more in Shinji's league than mine. Or even that doll's. Best case she would be Misato...that's on a good day. (Asuka grumbles.)

It is a terrible burden! On top of everything else I have to do! It's annoying. (Now she has a "Don't make fun of me" expression on her face and her movements while she speaks are a bit more erratic.)

She better appreciate it and listen to everything I say! (Was that an agreement? Maybe. But, she isn't aware of it just yet.)

Ambassadrice Rouge is playing in my head now

[blaster_es_master_es]

Well... I don't know about much about what you're talking about, but I know sometimes people do manage to break even.

... Sorta...

*Is going to google this now.*

[whatareyoustupid]

Sorta? Then I'm not interested. If it isn't 50/50 then I want no part of any of it. I hate being in other's debt and I really hate the idea of giving more than I should to someone stupid enough not to hold up on their end.

(Of course, this might be referring to something else. But, Asuka is too worked up to listen to be sure.)

[splendid_solitude]

Was I really that stupid and rude when I was a kid?... Geez.

[She was a dumb, dumb kid. Dumb for crushing on a certain boy, dumb for isolating herself from others, and even dumber still for treating everyone around her like crap.

In all, Asuka was none to happy to be face to face with her younger self.]

[whatareyoustupid]

Stupid and rude...geez...what...(She turns around and goes quiet.)

(Is that her? Asuka looks a bit confused by the appearance of this other her. She gives the woman a stern glare and mutters. How come she has an eyepatch? That can't be an impostor, right? The younger Asuka just stares for a moment longer before deciding to mutter under her breath.)

If you're supposed to be me...then you have no room to talk.

[splendid_solitude]

I've earned the right to call myself stupid!

[Thinking, that sounded a bit stupid in itself. But Asuka was never really one to think of any truly good insults.]

I've been fighting for the last fourteen years! Can you say that? No, you can't. Because your just a dumb kid.

[Asuka sneered. She may still have been a bit hard headed and hard to deal with, but nothing like when she was fourteen. It was none to fun dealing with the child she had once been]

Just keep being all high and mighty and see where that gets you.

[friendlydeathgod]

No, no, you definitely look like you could use a break.

[Fortunately Duo has experience with the tightly-wound.]

[whatareyoustupid]

A break? No, that's not what I need...I need to go back to where I'm from!

[friendlydeathgod]

Ehhhh. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about it. When your mundane gets bored you'll go right back where you came from like nothing ever happened.

Of course, then they might decide to drag you out again at any time, so that's floating over your head. Kinda like now!

[Not helping, Duo. Not helping.]

[weddingcrasher]

WHY SO LOUD!?

[whatareyoustupid]

I AM NOT BEING LOUD! (Asuka is really shouting now.)

[weddingcrasher]

Well, you totally are now!
