No journey can be started without that initial step. And so it's fine... I'm more than glad to venture out to establish the Evangelion tag.

I was once the First after all.

You are quite adventurous.

[17th_angel]

Before, I always remained in place, even as the universe flowed around me. It's a pleasure to be able to wander freely now.

And you? Do you enjoy adventuring out?

[the_lady_and_the_unicorn]

I was content in my forest, but I had to leave it in order to save my kind. (Shakily, she sits down, smoothing her purple skirt over her long legs.) Now I am in this form. I can barely walk - much less save them.

Your kind...

(Smoothly shifts closer to her side)

The human form is not your true shape then?

[the_lady_and_the_unicorn]

(Great tears well in her purple eyes.)

No, it is not. I was once so pure and innocent.

I was a unicorn.

[17th_angel]

A unicorn... They were myths back in that world, I believe.

[17th_angel]

We are alike then. This is also not my original form. It is a bit of an adjustment, but I've grown rather fond of this shape.

We are not myths! (Forgive her anger.) Men have simply become too blind to see us!

[the_lady_and_the_unicorn]

...truly? (She gazes at him fixedly.)

(Anger is perhaps better than the previous sadness)

Forgive me, I did not mean to offend. My kind were believed to be something akin to a myth before we returned as well.

Yes... I've been called many things, but perhaps "angel" or "seed of life" best fits here.

[the_lady_and_the_unicorn]

(She cannot stand the ignorance of men.)

You are not a man. (Her eyes tell her that much.) Are you immortal?

[extradite]

That's... that's nothing to be proud of.

Hello, Shinji-kun. I was hoping we'd cross paths again.

[17th_angel]

But do you mean the tag or being the first?

1/2

[extradite]

Eh - ? The... tag? The tag's -

As far as tags go, it's very...

[extradite]

...either of them. They're both things that just happen, aren't they? Nothing that could be made right, nothing that could be made wrong. They simply happen.

1/2

[17th_angel]

Yes, it simply is. For both of them. But the tag must exist first before it can be tracked, and hence my purpose this time.

[17th_angel]

But besides that, how are you now?

[extradite]

[ Oh, he knows the right answer to that! ]

Operational.

[17th_angel]

. . . . operational? Are you still with an Eva then?

[extradite]

Why ask if - I'm its pilot. Don't think - whatever happens, I'm... I'm the Eva-01 pilot.

[But that should be impossible after--]

Ah, I see. This mixing of worlds can be a bit disorienting. It seems we are from different points in time.

Of course, you are her pilot shadow of Lilith, as long as you wish to be.
