Option A:
Uh.
Don't panic: possible livestock emergency.

One of the locals told me she left a hen on my porch. Guess what? Porch, no chicken.
So, you know.

If seen, do not engage. Report all chicken- and chicken-related activity.

[ ooc: Network/action, feel free to sight this chicken around town if you like! ]



Option B:
I heard some of you booze hounds were sniffin' around, so lemme save ya the trouble. My name's Majima, and I run the bar. The rules are don't be an asshole.

Here's a map. There's pool and darts. Got some smokes, too, but you better give me a real good reason why I should part with those.

[justbeingknife]

Well, that ain't exactly true.

[ rei please

that's so sad to hear ]

[lilithsoul]

To be clear. I am learning to become friends here. In my home? I think Ikari-kun wants to be my friends, but I do not know that he knows how anymore than me.

He just has other problems. Most relate to his father, I think.

[justbeingknife]

Tough break, especially if he's also got to work with the guy. Your commander a real hardass?

[ hi i barely know anything about evangelion. I'm a bad anime fan, it's me ]

[lilithsoul]

If I understand the context of 'hardass,' yes. Commander Ikari could be described in that way. Reality has not been kind to those who are soft, and he has become hard and closed to everyone.

[justbeingknife]

...yeah. I think I know what ya mean.

There's places that're good for someone with a soft heart. Guess your military ain't one of those.

You figure you're suited to yer work?

[lilithsoul]

I am suited for it, yes. Ikari is, whether or not he is mentally prepared for it. He and Unit 01 have a special bond.

[She'd been created for this purpose. She'd damned well better be suited for it, she thought.]

[justbeingknife]

Guess that's a positive, then.

But I'm glad you're branchin' out a little. Hell, there's plenty of time out here, and no units to pilot. Might as well.

[lilithsoul]

It seems to be helpful in working with others here, as well. I am finding that the people I work with are more cooperative if I attempt to "Branch Out" some. So, there are a few positives.

[justbeingknife]

Makes sense. Oh yeah, Will, Eddie, and I are plannin' something soon that might help ya do just that.

You should come.

[lilithsoul]

Oh? What are you planning to do?

[justbeingknife]

We're gonna have a festival, kinda like they got in Japanese schools. Food, drinks, music... it'll be a blast!

Speakin' of which, you're still knitting, right? Ya think you could knit a couple stuffed animal prizes if we gave ya a pattern?

[lilithsoul]

Oh yes, I remember you asking about that now. I will probably participate. I could probably help with prizes, yes, provided you can find the pattern.

I do not know how to knit well without patterns.

[justbeingknife]

Alright! Thanks, Ayanami.

I'll dig up some patterns from the library. You got anything you wanna try in particular? I figure we'd try some bears or rabbits or somethin'.

[lilithsoul]

I am unconcerned with the variety, so if you have a preference, please let me know and use that. Though, if there are penguins, that would feel somewhat nostalgic.

[justbeingknife]

Come again? Penguins?

You partial to 'em?

[lilithsoul]

The Major had a fresh water penguin in her home. Very intelligent. It would be nostalgic.

[justbeingknife]

That's... alright. Sure. I'll try and find a penguin pattern for ya.

I'll come by once I find somethin'.

[lilithsoul]

It does not need to be that, but thank you. I will see you when you find one, or before.
