the other guy covered this already but i figure, what can it hurt to ask again? where can i can drugs here. anxiety meds, specifically. no, i don't have anxiety, but i can exhibit similar symptoms from time to time. this is life-threatening, i assure you.

second, because i don't think i can get away with just putting up a "don't fuck with me" attitude when touchy-feelies might actually save lives: i'm a touch-based telepath. yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. no, i can't just shut it off. yes, i won't touch you without permission. no, don't touch me unless i touch you first.

jesus motherfucker this is more words than i've written in years. hi, i'm tetora. i like pizza.

[ what a sad life rei lives. no rock music at all?! ]

okay, hold up. what's the second impact?
and also, did you guys even have music?

...it's a figure of speech.

[Some J-pop had to survive. Ikari-kun had that terrible walkman he listened to all the time. But... yeah, a lot of the good stuff was probably lost forever.

While she was opening up to the idea of mentioning fighting angels, she wasn't quite up to filling in the reality of what happened in her world. Too much classified, too many secrets the angels might somehow overhear. So, back to the old stand-by cover-up story for the second impact.]

We had some, yes. It was a meteorite impact in antarctica. Global devastation followed. I assume your history has nothing about it.

[Nobody's ever seemed to... which was becoming more and more of a concern.]

[nishizono]

[ considering global warming is a thing... ]

not too surprised about that. i figure it's something that'll happen at some point.

i'm just hoping i die before that shit happens, though.

[lilithsoul]

There has always been a risk of it, yes. Survival has not been too difficult. Humanity is resilient.

[nishizono]

humanity is bullshit. they pretend to be gods and then ask for salvation when they fuck it up.

humanity is its own problem.

[lilithsoul]

[...]

These statements are not mutually exclusive. They are, after all, the source of most of their troubles after the meteor struck.

[nishizono]

you realize that resilient fuckups are the worst for everything they end up involved in, right?

[lilithsoul]

I am aware, yes. Why?

[Because she didn't understand what the issue might be. She really wasn't stating a value judgment so much as simply stating what she perceived as facts. She really wasn't prone to making value judgments or arguing about them, so she didn't quite understand others' issues at times.]

[nishizono]

[ tetora, on the other hand, is more than used to making judgments in the blink of an eye. sometimes, it's those calls that decide whether he lives or he dies. ]

an inefficient system needs to either reboot, or get rewritten.

you can't exactly rewrite humanity in the blink of an eye. not without cost.

[lilithsoul]

The price will end up being near eradication, but that is outside of my concern. It will happen when it happens.

[Except it wasn't out of her control. She was one of three people in her entire world, maybe four, who basically had the full control over the fate of the human race. Of course, that was a topic for another day, and not something she had truly embraced.

For now? She was focused on knitting since she couldn't pilot a giant robot to beat up giant angels.]

[nishizono]

guess we can talk about that some other time, then.

but if you ask me, i'm all for eradication. humans have had enough time in the sun.

[ if mankind wanted kindness, maybe it should've learned to give it first. ]

[lilithsoul]

You may be right. I will defer the judgment to others. For now, I have a task.

[That was definitely a tune that would change in time, but for now, she wasn't making a judgment.]

[nishizono]

yeah, i hear you. good luck with that.

[ they'll catch up later, but for now it's a closed-up conversation better left for some other time. ]
