probably best to just go ahead and post whatever scenario is going on after our stunt

>>22536559
Better give us a recap of her actions so far.

>avquing delicate
Um, no Captcha. Samantha is definitely not delicate by any meaning of the word.

>>22536559
Hey Faggot. What took you so long. I've been waiting for your thread

>>22536687
A recap?

Well I can do that:
Samantha was driving to headquarters, but unfortunately an angel attacked during it. Instead of going towards headquarters with Edwards she decided to jump into her Eva and head for the monster. Along the way she saved another pilot having a seizure and grabbed a lance. From there she attacked the beast, broke through the A.T. field, but got sucked into the pocket dimension inside its stomach. Nicolas eventually tore his way in two, and together they fought against the monsters within and broke the core. Samantha blacked out after that and just woke up in the hospital.

I am finishing up writing this turn, so wait one moment and we will begin.

Eva is obviously silver, for the knight in shining armor effect

"We completed the mission old man, what is the problem?" Samantha glared back at him, refusing to break the gaze. Edward’s hand reflexively went up to hold his cross.

“The problem is you disobeyed orders. You are a soldier, which means that what you commander says is what happens. Any less than complete compliance could result in the death of thousands,” he stopped for a moment, walking towards the window. When he next spoke he refused to turn around, “However, because you managed to defeat the angel I will be willing to overlook it this one time. If you do it again you will not be so lucky. Orders are meant to be followed, not ignored.” Samantha tried to lift herself up, and found, despite her head feeling like it was full of cotton, it was rather easy. A memory floated to the surface, Nicolas’s plug fluid stained red.

“Are the others okay?” Edwards turned around, and stood in front of her bed.

“Yes, Nicolas sustained some injured to his left arm, but he has already been discharged from the hospital and has returned to school. Natalia was uninjured. Terrance however is a tougher problem, his seizure subsided, but we have no idea what brought it on. He has returned to school, but we are watching him in case.” Samantha thought this over, than realized something was wrong.

“You said there were five evangelions here. What about the fifth pilot?” Edwards frowned at her, fingers rubbing the cross.

“That is not something for you to worry about. After you are feeling well you will dress and be escorted to your room. Tomorrow you will begin courses with your fellow students at the academy. It is inside the shield city, so you will not need to go to the surface for any reason. You will not exist the undercity without permission.” His stare bore into her.

>>22536768
We decided on white and some shit last time, I think?
Blue and orange?

>>22536823
>in b4 someone makes her look like saber

>>22536831
A man in a dark suit outside nodded at her, and lead the two of them out of the hospital and through headquarters. She had read the briefing before coming, Nerv seven, the largest in the united states. Unlike Tokyo-3 no natural underground chamber existed, and so instead the united states government had started the large excavation process in history. it gave birth to Mt.Tailor outside of the city, and hollowed out enough space for a true Geofront. Samantha starred out towards the surface hundreds of feet blow, packs and whole towns lay hidden under the great photostrips that lit the inner chamber.

After what felt like over an hour of walking through cramped corridors the security officer deposited her in front of a door. On the front a plague read “Mr. Lorenso, Pilot Caretaker”. Samantha turned around to ask the security officer exactly what that meant, but before she could he had already disappeared. Nervously, she knocked on the door. The sounds of shuffling came from inside, and after a good bit of shouting the door slid open to reveal a tall man. An enormous beard covered most of his face, and a rotund belly stretched his shirt taught.
“Why hello there! You must be Samantha? Good good, come in, come in!” The man turned to usher you inside.

So I take it we have All I See Are Weapons?

Samantha, despite her misgivings, crossed the threshold into the chamber beyond. The floors were wooden, across the room several large plush couches circled a television. It was one of these couches Lorenso was heading towards. Atop the coffee table a pot of tea and small plate of cookies sat. With a hand he beckoned her over.

"So what do you do here exactly, Pilot caretaker sounds kind of creepy." She followed him over as his huge form eased itself into a chair. A sigh escaped his lips as he leaned to pour a cup of tea, after a few grunts of effort he managed to pour too cup fulls and hand one to here.

“Wondering who I am then? Fair enough, have some cookies,” he waved towards the plate. Samantha took a small lump of shortbread and tried it. His grin was toothy, several of his teeth were missing and of the few that remained a quarter were made of metal. To her disgust the thing tastes as if it was been soaked in salt peter. The smile faded immediately upon seeing the look on her face.

“Ah, mixed the salt and sugar again didn’t I? Try the others, they aren’t home made,” he took a gulp of tea and leaned back again, “What I do is make sure all you pilots enjoy yourselves while you’re here. You can think of me as your nanny, and don’t worry,” the man laughed deeply, “I won’t be in your way. You can live your own life, I’ll just be cleaning your rooms and making sure you have a warm home to come back to. I’ll also be cooking meals, but don’t worry most of the stuff is just heated up so you don’t have to worry about me messing it up again. Now, you things have already arrived. You’re the farthest door on the right. I understand teenage girls probably don’t want to be talking to a nasty old geezer like me, so I’ll let you go settle in. Check the top drawer, I left something special for you.” Samantha got up and was about to leave, but before she did a thought popped into her head.

>>22537205
“Does that mean the other pilot live here too?”

“Yes it does in fact, but they’re all at headquarters at the moment. probably won’t be back till late, something about a hearing. Don’t worry you head about it though,” Samantha looked past the grin, the man must be hiding something, but all she could see was good natured old man all the way through. Turning around she went down the corridor. Her heals clicked against the wood paneling as she made it to the final room. Inside was a nondescript grey bedroom, not much in the way of personality. Sighing, she went over to the desk to see exactly what he had given her, and to her surprise the drawer was filled of art supplies.

Pulling them out Samantha franticly dug through them, there must have been two hundred dollars worth of supplies here. Maybe the old man wasn’t so bad after all. Sitting down she got to drawing, and soon found herself creating a picture of the last battle. Drawing helped her think, and helped her work through what had happened to her.

She found herself drawing Nicolas’s evangelion as it attacked the beast, the ferocity with which it tore at the creatures. At the moment he was less human and more monster. Hours passed and the photostrips dimmed. She should probably go to sleep, school was in the morning and she no longer had any excuse not to attend. A knock came from her door, and in stuck Lorenso’s head.

“Now, the others aren’t going to be back for a few hours left. You can come have dinner with me, or you can take it in your room.” Samantha considered this, in his hands the old man held a large tray laden with sandwiches.

>>22537217
“In here, thank you.” She didn’t want to have to eat them in front of him, in case they were as bad as his cookies. The man looked slightly sullen, but put the tray on the edge of her desk before letting himself out.

Keep on working on this and maybe start another picture and otherwise stay up until we hear the others come in.

Then go out, meet him, introduce ourself, ask if he's doing okay, and then tell him that we drew a picture of the fight and were wondering if he wanted to see it.

No blushing, stuttering or anything like that, we're just showing off some art to a comrade in arms.

>>22537408
Y'know that's honestly pretty fuckin' perfect. I mean human beings hurt each other when they get close, whether they mean to or not. We fuck up and hurt him in our first serious interaction, it makes our later interactions all the more Eva-esque.

Samantha tried one of the sandwiches, it wasn’t actually half bad. She would really have to thank Lorenso later, for it and the art supplies. As she continued drawing Nicolas’s evangelion, as she ripped the arm off one of the beasts, a idea struck her. If she stayed up long enough she would be able to meet the other pilots, and show Nicolas he drawing too.

Eventually the piece was done, but the others still hadn’t arrived, so instead dhse moved onto another piece of artwork. From outside the tv blared, Lorenso was probably watching something. A picture of a knight began to take form, its face covered by a helmet, looking out over the red sea and old wreckage. A smile crosser Samantha’s lips as she drew the night. Just as she put on the finishing touches she heard the front bell ring and the door slide open. As she picked up the sheet of paper Lorenso’s voice boomed.

“Long day was it? If any of you didn’t get a chance to eat they’re still sandwiches in the cupboard.” A male voice, one she didn’t recognize answer.

“Thanks Lorenso, but I ate there. I’m heading off to bed early, can’t be looking shabby for tomorrow now can I?” Samantha pulled the door open to see a tall boy, his blonde hair plastered down against his face. Behind his was Natalia, already entering her room. She did not even pause to looked at her before disappearing inside. Then finally towards the door was Nicolas, a pair of glasses perched on the end of his nose. One arm was in a sling, bruising trailing up towards his shoulder.

“Now you must be Samantha!” said the blonde boy stepping forward with hand outstretched, “I’m Terrance. I must thank you for saving me last week. It’s indignant for a man to be caught in such a situation,” He shrugged his shoulders, “But it seems circumstances can overcome the best of us. I was told you put me into one of the elevators. You’re really quite a hero."

>>22537536
Yeah, but we don't just shove it in his face. We ask if he wants to see it, and when he gets angry it hurts us, makes us feel bad about our art, bad about trying to make friends with our fellow pilot and comrade in arms. Subtlety is key.

>>22537536
>>22537536
understandable dude.

I wonder if it was the worst thing to do as in he will end up like OH FUCK OH SHIT ATTENTioN FROM A GIRL or be all fuck you and your attention woman

>>22537576
He stopped though, the smile replaced by an almost comically serious expression, “Now, I need to get my rest, we can talk more in the morning. Good night.” He exteded through his his room, a wink following him through. Samantha wasn’t sure what to do, he certainly was not, what she had expected.


Instead of dealing with it she instead headed over to Nicolas. He had opened the fridge and gotten out a sandwich, and was not sitting on the couch next to Lorenso.

“Hi there,” siad Samantha. Nicolas’s head whipped around to stare at her.

“Hello, you’re Samantha. It’s nice to meet you.” His voice trembled slightly with each word, and his eyes darted back from her face to the wall. It was as if he was an animal backed to a corner, ready to sprint at the slightest provocation.

“I wanted to know if you wanted to see a picture of you i drew?” Her face paled and he starred at Samantha’s hands. Behind him Lorenso’s bushy eye brow raised, and he leaned forward in his chair, but didn’t say anything.

“I-I, ah.. W-what kind of picture?” THe stutter had become even more pronounced. Samantha unfurled the photo, showing his Eva tearing apart the beast. The paling increased and Nicolas continued to stare his expression changing from nervous to horror. His hand slacked and he dropped his sandwich, and without saying a word he near sprinted to his bedroom door.

The door slammed behind him, and she could have sworn she heard him muttering the entire way. Well, that hadn’t gone exactly how she expected. Looking back down at the portrait she tried to determine exactly what was from with it.

>>22537587
“Did you really have to do that?” sighed Lorenso. The old man had leaned back into his chair, “Nicolas is a bit of a special case, as you seem to not have picked up on. What you saw in the Evangelion was not him. Outside of the cockpit he has quite a sensitive nature, and gets a bit... nervous when confronted with what he does inside. it wouldn’t be as bad, but he just came from a hearing where he had to answer for the damages he caused during the last attack. The last thing he wanted was another reminder.” Samantha starred back, then down towards the picture. Self loathing rose in her chest, damn. She stalked back to her room without saying another word and crumpled the paper, before throwing it at the wall.

>>22537637
I can explain this without needing a turn. Most of the ecosystems on the planet are destroyed beyond measure. The geofront is a self contained ecosystem that can function as the earth did before the second impact, and contains everything needed for life if it was cut off. They're arks and symbols of humanity's triumph in these dire circumstances.

It would probably be a better idea to ask everyone else in the company what the fuck that was about before we apologize, so we actually know what we did wrong. Just saiyan.

It's also EVA, school on Saturday is a thing. In the morning, anyway. In canon because it's Japan and that's how they roll, in this case most likely because normal school days can be interrupted at any time by hot Angel on EVA action, meaning they need as many extra days in the school year as possible.

Hey fellow voices in Samantha's head.

Can we decide our thoughts on Nicky?
I think we have a thing for him due to his EVA piloting badassery. Charging into the fray with us and all that jazz.

We have a thing for strong men I will say and in the EVA he is a beast.

Thoughts?

>>22537806
He didn't like our painting, jerk. Didn't even stand up for himself about it, just walked off.

He's much cooler in the Eva, when he's fighting, when he's brave and stands at our side.

>>22537833
That is kinda cruel don't you think... Also seeing your guys reactions when I know all the character's back stories is hilarious. You guys are so fucked.

>>22537806
Yes, and outside the EVA he's a quivering mass of jelly, who seems liable to wet himself at the slightest mention of anything he did/does in the EVA.
We can't make a relationship with someone only while they're in the cockpit.

>captcha: principes menusuc
Yes, Captcha, we should go with someone more experienced.
Terrance deserves more investigating.

>>22537806
Right now, we probably just find him intriguing, and are a bit... perplexed... about him. I mean why would you be ashamed of piloting an EVA? You get to be a hero, a modern day knight, defending the peace of Camelot from all who would threaten it. That could easily evolve into a romantic attraction through our interactions with him, however. As long as we don't act like Asuka and look down on him, or get offended by every little thing he does.
>>22537833
We should tell him that, when we tell him that what he does is a very brave and honorable thing, worthy of admiration and respect.

>>22537833
He has glasses though which is sexy in a dude. (or least I want women to think so)

Also I see great potential here! I swear Some Faggot wrote him up to match up with our dear little Sammy

>>22537859
We should give him Big Goddamn Hero training.

>>22537857
I'm trying to think in Samantha's head. I'm thinking we're a bit hurt because he rejected our artwork.

I'll revise my opinion based on what we learn and keep civil and apologize for what we did, but I could see Samantha as seeing him as much more attractive when he fights.

>>22537888
He doesn't need it though, he is a Big Goddamn Hero, he just doesn't act like a hero when he doesn't need to be one.

No, we investigate Terrance.

I say we want to give him the dick.

(Flashback to undertone of dick envy)

>>22537921
No, bad, no. No fucking dick envy.

>>22537888
But he doesn't want to be a Big Goddamn Hero.
He seems reluctant to pilot at best, outright terrified of piloting at worst.
We can't make a Knight out of someone who doesn't WANT to be one.

I say we ask Lorenso what kind of snacks Nicolas likes the best, give him some as an apology, and never bring the issue up again.

Then jump Terrance's bones. He was suave.

>>22537921
No way Terrance sounds like a prick and also most likely angel touched or someshit (not that we would know that but still).

>>22537964
But he also had a seizure in the middle of the fight. Not very knightly of him.

Natalia might have some backbone and not spaz out during a combat operation.

>>22537888
But of course. We shall train him to be a true knight, brave honorable and strong.
>>22537921
>>22537964
>Terrancefags
Dudes clearly a hopeless womanizer. While that's not something we have a PROBLEM with (knights did after all have special swords for every night use, only drawn when they came upon a fair maiden), why would we want to be just another notch in his belt? I say we set him up with Natalia, she seems like she can give the boy some much needed discipline.

>>22538014
>special swords for every night use, only drawn when they came upon a fair maiden
They came upon a fair maiden every night?

>>22538020
Sometimes twice if they weren't too tired.

>>22537992
Mmm.
Natalia was heavy weapons, so she had the missile spam during combat, correct?
She handled herself pretty well.
After Nicolas (who's looking less like a valid choice for decent human interaction) she did best.
Terrance got his ass knocked out.
If we can get some kind of friendship going with Natalia, it could help smooth over our interactions with the others in the long run.

Samantha curled up in bed, only bothering to kick off her shoes. Across the room she starred out the window out into the geofront. More than two miles away small glowing lines ran across the far side as trains went from the overcity into the geofront. Sleep didn’t come easy to her, even at the best of times, but now with the situation she had apparently just messed up on her mind. It was hours before she dozed off and when she finally did the sleep was fitful and full of half formed dreams.

A banging on her door shook Samantha awake, someone was knocking hard. After rubbing sleep from her eyes she grabbed the alarm clock propped against her night stand. 8:00?! Class started in less than half an hour, springing out of bed she wrenched the door open to reveal Lorenso’s large face.

“Thought I should get you up, didn’t know how long you normally take to get ready.” Samantha starred into his toothed smile, unsure of how he could be taking this so lightly.

“I have class in twenty minutes! Couldn’t you have woken me up a litter earlier?” The bob on the end of his silken cap, the same one matching the night shirt stretched across his belly, bobbed with his chuckle.

“My dear girl, you aren’t going to normal school any longer. Your classes start at 9:30. You’re going to a school for pilots and potential pilots. Now, get ready, Nicolas and Natalia have already left, but you can have Terrance show you the way.” The next hour consisted of her exploring the enormous bathroom off the hall and getting ready for class, another uniform waited for her in her room. This one was slightly less boring than the Nerv one, but overall not a large improvement.

After pulling it on she headed for the front door, where Terrance was waiting with a bag over one shoulder. The boy didn’t looked so bad, and maybe if he refrained of going into a seizure again... For a moment she imagined what he would look like in knights armor.

>>22538049
“Why hello there!” A hand extended to open the door for Samantha, and in the other he held something wrapped in a paper towel, “breakfast for you. We’ll going clear across the geofront this morning.” Samantha took it from him, and unwrapping it found a bagel. The two of them began to walk, Terrance not speaking as she ate it hungrily. It was less than a five minute walk from the joined apartment to the train station.

“What’s wrong with Nicolas?” she finally voiced. The two of them had been sitting on the train in silence for several minutes, surrounded by businessmen and commuters. Terrance seemed to consider this for a moment before speaking.

“Our little Nicky. Well, I don’t know all the details, but it seems that something happened in his past. I’m sure you noticed the difference in him from pilot to not. That’s been there for as long as I have known him, which is over two years now. I would not put it against him, he is really a nice person, he just do not like thinking about what he does inside the beast when he is on the ground.” The smile on Terrances lips seemed to try and reassure Samantha, but it wasn’t working. The train pulled into its station and the two of them walked out. The training facility was in the middle of the geofront floor, surrounded mostly by forest and flat padded down earth. Children of varying ages swarmed around the building as they entered.

It was larger than any school she had ever been to, with tall gleaming steel girders and reflective windows. Despite it being hot outside they were both blasted with a gust of frigid air upon entering. Samantha shivered, Terrance chuckled and removed his coat, placing it on her shoulders.

>>22538054
“They keep it cold in here for the training units. Part of our curriculum is inside the artificial evas. You’re just in time for the new semester. You’ll be getting the whole ground deal today, along with Natalia.” They went up the stairs, and Terrance lead the two of them into a room. Inside students were hanging around, and a teacher sat in a desk near the front shuffling papers. Near the window sat Nicolas, along looking outside. In the very Front Natalia sat stock still. The others turned around to look at Samantha with curious eyes. Terrance leaned in.

“Now don’t mess this up, you’re the new pilot. They’re all hopefuls... think of it you’re the big fish, but they’re the piranha. Good luck.”

I'll just let you know this. There are no bad people among the pilots. They are damaged individuals, broken goods, and they might make bad decisions, but none of them bad people. You should give them a chance.

Besides, I love it more when there are no real villains, just people who are set upon different paths that happen to be opposed to your own.

On second thought, as a female knight with dick envy...

I saw we have a lezboner for Natalia

>>22538065
>[X] Introduce yourself to Natalia, might as well say hello.

We need a trusted lancer to assist us at our side.

>>22538087
We don't have fucking dick envy. We're a knight, we're a woman, we don't mind being a girl. We get bad at people thinking we're weak because we're a girl, but we're not strong because we wanted to be a boy, we're strong because we wanted to be a Knight, a gender nonspecific knight.

This is Nerv after the Ikari Incident. The place has changed. I don't want you all to know too much and be too familiar with your surroundings. Would be too easy for you all to make informed decisions.

>>22538087
Dude, the dick envy was a joke. We don't actually have it. Besides the whole "penis envy" thing is Freud, and Freud's theories, while significant in laying the groundwork for modern psychoanalysis, are largely outdated and of little use. And before anyone goes and says there was lots of Freud in Evangelion, there was far more Jung than Freud.

>>22538282

Well, the stricter they are, the more like they are to accept RAGING LEZBONERS.

I'd say that she's the most honorable and tactical among them.
We could learn from her, or have serious issues with her brand of honor...
Or teach her the way of the knight...

All in all, I think she could be an interesting friend.

What are we calling our EVA, anyway?
It's no good calling our Knightly Charger Unit-0X, or whatever.
I propose White Glint.

Please stop talking about lezboners and penis envy. It's not helpful in any way, we just barely met this girl, we know nothing about her, and you're already suggesting we should have the massive hots for her.

It's reducing a character that we should try to befriend, work with, and maybe initiate romance with at a later date depending on how it grows to just saying we should bang her because lesbians.

>>22538324
dude, shut up.

>>22538376
That'll do.

>>22538376
Well, King Arthur's spear was named Rhongomyniad, but I don't know if Lancelot had one.

Samantha walked past the starring eyes, she was used to such things. The training facility in Seattle had been just as bad, if not worse. Besides, she doubted any of them would try a punch in front of the instructor. Gliding between the desks Samantha made her way to the front to talk to Natalia, she had already met Terrance and Nicolas, even if her meeting with Nicolas hadn’t gone too well, so might as well get acquainted with everyone.

“Hello, I’m Samantha, I’m the other p--” Natalia held up a hand, her finger ran along the line in the book she had been reading. Finally when she reached the end she carefully closed the book before looking up at her.

“I know who you are. You are the one who believes orders are a polite suggestion to be ignored at your leisure, you are the one that values your own ego and chance at heroism over the group, and you are also the one who will see us destroyed if things do not change. Please, unless your attitude is far different from when I last say you I do not have any business consorting with you outside of operations.” Samantha starred back, stunned for a moment. The other students leaned in, trying to get a taste of gossip. Clenching and unclenching her fist, Samantha tried to let go of some of the anger welling up in her chest. Mustn't get angry on her first interaction, must stay calm.

“I apologize for what I did. Now, how about we start over?” Samantha held out her hand for Natialia to shake, for a moment she merely starred at it, but eventually took it. At least that didn’t go too badly. The instructor at the front of the class stood up.

“Everyone take your seats!” the students filed towards their chairs. Samantha realized she didn’t know which one was hers, catching Terrance’s eye she saw him point to the seat directly behind Nicolas’s. Sighing, Samantha took her seat just in time for the beginning speech.

Right, so on another note... How exactly is Samantha messed up currently?

Or will we be seeing the degradation of her mind in threads to come?
I was really suggesting Lesbians because I wanted to see something more broken in her character, with that in mind, I'd almost think that Nicolas would be more fun to follow/control.

I want to see the normally irrational occur.

>>22538412
“Now as you all know we have a new student joining us this semester. Samantha Black. She is the pilot of Unit 31, as you all probably saw from the last battle,” The eyes focused on her. Samantha turned away to look out the window, and noticed Nicolas was still doing the same.

“Enough of your gawking!” shouted the instructor, “Now you all are potential Evangelion pilots. The shields of humanity against the endless tide of angels. I will not have you acting like a bunch of ninnies in the face of duty! Today we will be heading down to the simulation chambers to get a gauge on your abilities. Each one of you will be ranked across the board with the rest of the school. This is just the pre match, so do not feel as if you have to try for top score today. In a month time we will do this again for a revised ranking! Now stand up!” Everyone stood up in unison, “Follow me!”

The entire class, which started as an orderly line, dissolved into a talking gaggle before they reached the bottom of the stairs. They proceeded down through the floor into the basements beyond. Samantha didn’t talk to anyone, neither did Nicolas. Terrance was off to the side, followed by a group of girls, all laughing at every word he said. That wasn’t even a joke? Why were they all giggling, a small bit of anger rose in her chest, but she wasn’t quite sure why.
Finally they made it to the simulation chamber. Ten enormous spines, topped with stripped evangelion heads, sat in a row. The instructor turned around and threw out his hands.
“Now, if anyone would like to call their match do so now, you may settle any personal scores you have inside the system instead of with your fists.” The muscles still attached to the strange metallic evangelion bones twitched

>>22538423
erratically, the tubes pumping fluid into them undulating as they replaced the preservatives. From down the line someone shouted.

“I want to go against her.” It was a boy, a head taller than Samantha with black hair extending past his shoulders. His finger was pointed towards her.

[ ] Do you accept?
[ ] Do you refuse?

If you accept what strategy will you use to defeat him? I will tell you now he is a heavy brawler type.

>>22538394
It's easier to just shorten it to Rhon or Ron. Rolls off the tongue better.

>>22538385
Arondight, most of the time. Though he was best known for just being really good with anything. He used Secace against the Saxons and his father used Coreiseuse.

How about the Lance of Olyndicus?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olyndicus

>>22538279
I am not DMing anything currently unfortunately, but I DM a lot when I am on campus.

>>22538422
She's a Neo-Spartan.
She's been trained by Nerv for war at least since age 7.
On top of that, apparently she had a history of... non-verbal conflict resolution, with the other pilots back at her last base.
And she seems to be pretty insubordinate, and overly proud on top of that.

>>22538431
[X] Do you accept?

Yes we do, he just called us out. I'm assuming this is a mock Eva battle simulation or something like that.

Keep out distance, let him wear himself out, swing a bit wildly, throw himself off balance and then we sink our lance to the hilt into him with a burst of speed.

>>22538431
>[ ] Do you refuse?
I don't like to fight in tourneys. Best that your enemy not know what you can do should you meet them in battle.
>>22538448
Not very knightly.

>>22538452
Ever thought of roll20 or IRC dming? A good storyteller is hard to find.

But yes we accept his challenge

We use a fast agile EVA to lance his face in with.

A lot of quick movements if we use a facsmile of our EVA in the engangement we abuse the shit outta our boosters

>>22538431

A knight accepts the challenge, however she will decide the terms, no?

A battle of lances.

>>22538460
Surprisingly enough compared to everyone else you are extremely well adjusted.

Also i want your guy's guesses. What origins are our other pilots?

>>22538431
>[X]Accept.

A knight cannot refuse a fair challenge.
We'll try to close to melee asap, using the boosters if possible, then outfight him for victory.

>>22538470
A knight fights when their honor is questions. Lets kick this fucker's ass.

Hmph, Natalia has us down. Being her friend would be cool, but not at the loss of ourself.

And then run off and do it again.

>>22538483
Well, I'm pretty damn sure Natalia is a NeoSpartan.

Nicholas is probably a Prodigy. I think Terrence is Manufactured, it'd explain the seizures, but I'm not positive.

As for our 5th mystery pilot, no fucking idea, probably Manufactured.

Serial womanizers are usually far from well adjusted, ESPECIALLY in Eva. Although I wouldn't be surprised if he has no actual interest in that rumor of girls that follows him around beyond using them as an emotional shield.

Also for strategy, I don't think it is wise to reveal all of it to the GM, no? Especially an AdEva GM.

Provided that he chooses his own weapon, I saw that we simply use the maximum range of our lance in advantage while not straying too far. Should he try to close, we sidestep him and stab. We need to show superior form and technique.

>>22538538
He doesn't spontaneously generate avalanches of spaghetti just from being in social situations, unlike some Manufactured I could name.
By EVA pilot standards, he's stabler than fucking Everest.

>>22538538
"Well adjusted for a Manufactured", I assume. I mean, he can interact with humans and make facial expressions at appropriate times and everything!

>>22538535

As an aside, I don't really like the lance as a weapon.

If you accept what strategy will you use to defeat him? I will tell you now he is a heavy brawler type.

“Fine, but don’t cry when you’re beaten.” Samantha starred the boy down, but he kept his eyes confident. The rest of the class exploded into a torrent of whispers as the two of them headed to the changing rooms. Samantha caught snippets.
“Is she really going against Johnathan?”
“Do you think she can win?” Samantha grit her teeth, of course she would win. She was a knight. Inside the changing room she pulled on her plug suit. Pressing a button on her wrist it pulled taught against her body. The two of them climbed the cat walks behind the Eva, with the stares of all their fellow students on them. Just before Samantha slid into the plug she caught sight of Terrance giving her a thumbs up.

THe plug fluid tasted disgusting in her mouth, but she forced it down while settling into the cockpit. At the field ionized a strange tenicolor world appeared on the screen. A few hundred feet away from her another evangelion stood. Armor plating covered its entire front, and from the top of its head two enormous organic horns sprouted. The muscles covering its body bulged awkwardly, threatening to strip the plated. A display appeared in front of her.

“CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON.” Samantha scrolled down the list and hit LANCE, her shield and spear appeared in her hands. Then she waited, thinking her opponent was still choosing. however to her surprise she saw him move, on the ends of head hand were a pair of extended brass knuckles. The hulking form crouched, and sprinted towards her.

>>22538729
Well, if he wanted to impale himself on her spear, let him. Samantha activated the vibrations, and her weapon glowed a bright mint green. She took a stance and waited for him. Despite running full go from the start he didn’t slow down as he neared, instead he sped up heading directly for her lance tip.

Inches from the edge he leapt forward into a dive, completely avoiding the lance all together. Samantha brought up her shield just in time for his knuckles to bounce off, but even so they punched huge dents in the round. Even if he wasn’t an official pilot she couldn’t under estimate him. Dodging backwards she tried to set up for a jab of her lance, but Jonathan closed the distance, like a boxer ready to strike.

He jabbed with his right, but this time Samantha was ready. She caught the fist in her palm, while still holding the shield. With her lance arm she stabbed forward to piece his side. instead he leapt up, bringing his legs to his chest to land them atop the lance. Pounding downwards he forced the lance head into the ground, and reared back for a kick. but before he could Samantha charged forward, putting her shoulder into a tackle to push him off her weapon.

Their battle lasted for over fifteen minutes of them bobbing and weaving away from each other. Finally Jonathan slowed, growing tired from the constant battle, and Samantha got him. With a jab of her spear she managed to sever his umbilical cord. From that point it was easy, merely a waiting game for him to lose power.

>>22538729
Shit is about to go down.

We better win this GM or I swear I will cry like a little girl about it in every susequent thread

>>22538746
After wards when she climbed from the plug the students were starring at a place just above her head, a giant screen showed their battle, at a one minute delay. Well, at least they should know how their betters fought. Climbing down Terrance came to the bottom of the stairs, holding a towel for her.

“You should clean off the plug fluid, I hear it does a number to your hair. Now, wish me luck. It seems as if I’m going up next.”

Also, I am wondering if you guys are ok with what I have done with the evangelions. Each one is a lot more unique, but I am still trying to retain their flavor. I am explaining these away as they are MkIII Evangelions. Asuka's would be a Mk I.

If we are going to be Lance Leader, we need to know how best to direct our compatriots

>>22538765

What was the accepted strategy? Or was it because he had gotten the jump on us due to us waiting on him?

Don't wish him luck.

We ask Natalia what she thought of our match,

>>22538801
Wait, also do
>>22538792
>Find Johnathan, congratulate and thank him for an excellent fight, pay our proper respects to a fellow warrior. He fought well, we should not snub or insult him in any way, be gracious about it, not arrogant.

>>22538797
>fight dirty.

My fingers grow weary, typos are coming. I apologize if the quality goes down more guys.

>>22538802
>>22538792

Ask Natalia after talking to Jonathan.

I say if we're really missing our 5th, or there's something up with him/her, he's likely to be next.

>>22538802
Ultimately you did use your superior speed to defeat him (which was the right choice). I didn't have you do it off the bat though. Sorry for being shitty...

Ok, is everyone cool with the "congratulate Jonathan, ask Natalia, watch Terrance" plan?

If so toss out a roll!

Something to keep in mind for the future we will lose these games eventually. Bound to happen but that's not the end. The real fight is outside this is tournaments to the crusades. Shows of skill. Quote related.

"It is defeat that turns bone to flint; it is defeat that turns gristle to muscle; it is defeat that makes people invincible. Do not then be afraid of defeat." - Henry Ward Beecher.

“Good luck!” said Samantha, smiling at Terrance. he grinned back and ascended the stairs towards the plugs. She could’t help but look back at him as he retreated, and as she did caught sight of Jonathan looking sullen. Turning around, she confronted him.
“What’s with that face? It was a good fight. You did well.” Jonathan's scowl turned confused for a moment as he continued to stare. Looking back at the other students he shook his head and indicated towards the locker room. Once inside he turned around, pinning Samantha to the wall a hand over each shoulder.

“You don’t quite get it do you?” His face was less than an inch from hers. Samantha’s fist balled to punch him, but before she could he pulled away, turning around to begin undressing.

“This is not what you think it is. I assume you believed this was a simply match to show off some skill. That’s not how this place works. You are a pilot, I am not. You have the glory and admiration of the citizens, I do not. You get to actually step inside an Eva, and experience what it is like to really fly, I do not. If I beat you I have shown I am more capable, and so they will reconstruct the Eva for my usage. You will be rung out to dry and left here with the rest of us. Now, I am not saying we are incapable of being friends, but seeing as you were flown out here to pilot an Eva instead of one of us being chosen,” He paused, pulling back on his uniform. Samantha had begun changing as well. Jonathan's voice faltered slightly as he spoke.

“You seem to be under the false impression that this is a school. It isn’t it is a battle ground.” Jonathan turned away and left the room, straightening his tie. Moments later Samantha did the same. At the head of the room, on the jumbo screen, the fight had already begun. Terrance’s slender blue Evangelion stood at one end, it’s limbs so slim that they looked brittle. Atop its head two huge lens filled eyes starred out at the world.

>>22539098

The other was stalkier, and held a riffle in its hand. As it began to fire Terrance raised an A.T. field, the bullets reflected off as if they were nothing. From within one of the gun lockers the other Eva grabbed another, a grenade launcher. With a thunk the projectile flew through the air. The eva turned towards it, and it was then Samantha realized that Terrance wasn’t standing, but floating a dew dozen feet of the ground, legs hanging limply under him. Suddenly disappeared before ever reaching Terrance; no explosion, no nothing, just gone.

A small black orb was floating in front of him. A dirac sea? As she watched several more appeared, orbiting him. The other Eva began to run, trying to fire while putting distance between it and Terrance. With a flick of his wrist Terrance sent the orbs after it, they flew through the air, passing through objects to leave perfect holes. Their flowed around it, obviously faster. He was playing with the other Eva.

Finally after sending it running Terrance seemed to grow bored. The balls sped up, going almost three times as fast as before. They closed it and began to devour the other. It didn't go for the quick kill, merely destroying the head. Instead he severed limbs, cutting off body parts and stripped away plating. The sound of a howl came over the speakers. The battle ended as the other Evangelion bled out. The timer at the top of the screen read less than three minutes.

Samantha had to look away, and beside her saw Natalia starring upwards. There was no way she could think about what she just saw. An idea struck her, the other pilot who wasn’t here. Edwards had said there was five, and if so shouldn’t that person have been here defending their spot like Jonathan said. Or at least in Lorenso’s house.

>>22539109
“Natalia,” The girl turned away from the carnage, “Where is the fifth pilot.” Natalia starred at Samantha for a few seconds before answers. From the cat walk the hiss of opening tubes came.

“He is, ill.” Was all she said as Terrance came down head held high. His smile was huge as he addressed Samantha.
“Did you see that? Wanted to show off a bit to impress the new girl,” laughed Terrance. behind her, Samantha could feel the stares of a few other girls on her back. Well, this was not going to be a pleasant year.

[ ] Stay until your next match.
[ ] Go check out the rest of the school
[ ] Go talk to one of the students (specify which)

I probably have another turn in me after this, then question and discussion time for a while longer. How you guys like the thread today?

Oh and just so you know. I will not be writing out every fight. There are more than two dozen between you and the end of the ranking tournament. So suffice to say you will probably win them. Jonathan was the strongest of the non pilots most likely (at least that you will encounter this day).

>>22539118
[X] Go check out the rest of the school

Let's see the rest of our school, get to know the area.


For later, once we get home we should find some time to talk to Natalia, explain ourself, and so on.

>>22539118
Go check out the rest of the school.

>>22539118
We should argue with Jonathan about honor and grace in defeat and the pure joy of combat and shit.

>>22539118
>[ ] Go talk to one of the students (specify which)
Jonathan, why are you so tsun?

>>22539118

>>22539185
No, let us not do this. Just because we are a knight doesn't mean we're stupid.

>>22539185
>>22539197
I don't think we fancy being assaulted and/or raped.

>>22539197
He has a backstory as well. I am also planning on eventually when Nerv 07 gets more evas t--

Wait, that would be spoilers. I'll just keep it under wraps.

>>22539209
He doesn't seem like the type to me.

>>22539185
Let's not antagonize him right now. If we want to talk we can talk later, but at the very least give him a chance to cool down and collect himself.

>>22539264

Heh, no. Just bored.

>>22539272

I will take my crits and go home.

On an unrelated note, since I'm too busy doing my own thing.... First rolls only is a bad way to run quests. Almost as bad as 'highest roll decides action'.

>>22539272
So, does this mean happy crit time?

Because if so we explored this school so well it's not even funny.

>>22539245
HAHA! Get home from work and your still here.

>>22539290
It's a bad way to run quests where the ultimate goal if you all to succeed. This is AdEva... I am merely helping you dig your graves. You must stick by your failures just as much as you do your successes. It is the way of evangelion.

>>22539337

I have no issue with that, I'm not saying 'best of three' but 'average of three' would be less.... insane.

And yes, AdEva. I know. That has no impact on my point.

>>22539382
Average of 3 normalizes it too much. We'd have a 27 or so percent chance of getting between 40-60. It'd make things average as all hell.

Though personally if there's a crit in either direction in the first 3 rolls I'd just take that.

>>22539382
Average of three won't really help. Bad rolls still suck, and good rolls and still good. All it will do is pull you closer to fifty. I mean, do you want to be average all the time or win big and fail big? I'll let you all decide.

>>22539456
I say if we crit or crit fail in the first three we take that but otherwise we take the first one.

>>22539456

As the next to pile into their plugs Samantha turns away to leave. She didn’t fancy watching an endless stream of matches. The instructor gave her a quick nod as she exited the room.

“Your next match will be in half an hour, if you are late you lose by default.” Samantha gave a quick salute. The school were was freezing, there was still some plug fluid clinging to her, and she shivered as she climbed the stairs up into sunlight. Students bustled around. As Samantha walked among them she blended into the crowd. It seemed the ages varied wildly, from children no older than five to adults that could have been in their twenties. They all wore the same grey uniform as they passed through.

Samantha went outside, she had never liked crowd and indoors it seemed that the entire school was on break at once with the among of hustle and bustle. In the glare of the photostrips she blinked upwards. The geofront was large enough that actual clouds formed in the upper edge, brushing against the ceiling. Around the school paths lead into the forest, the trees growing close together around them.

As long as she didn’t stray too far away it’d probably be a good thing to head out into the woods to clear her head, and besides the glare of the light was starting to get annoying. Artificial light, even on this large of a scale, irritated her. The concrete path was cracked where roots had crown through it to destroy the even concrete. This place was old enough o have trees this large, not just ones that were transplanted, but ones that had grown up here. There were probably children who had never seen a real sun in person.

>>22539492
If only she had brought her drawing tools, she thought as she strolled down the concrete path, then she might have been able to sketch a few of the trees. Once inside the shade she could see shafts of light filtering through, but the glare was greatly lessened. A few others walked through the trees as well, mostly in pairs. Samantha blushed as she caught sight of two kissing in the trees.

What kind of a school was this, they seemed to just let the students wander about and do what ever they wanted. It was nothing like the academy in Seattle. Her hands shook as she walked past them body rigid. Maybe she wasn’t ready for the change yet, but as she breathed in the sweet honey suckle sent her nerves calmed. It was a nice change though compared to the smell of salt and iron, which was all that was left in the great factory districts of Seattle.

Finally Samantha came to a clearing where a few benches sat around. A long figure sat facing away, looking towards a still pond. As she approached she realized the figure was in a sling. Oh now, it was Nicolas. Turning around, Samantha almost left, but maybe it was time to make amends. Maybe she could apologize.

[ ] Talk to Nicolas
[ ] Puss out and leave
[ ] Beat him senseless for being such a wuss
[ ] Other

>>22539464
After the turns are done for this thread we can all talk it over. What you guys decide is what I will go with.

>>22539506
[X] Talk to Nicolas

Sit down near him, not next to him, but a bench or so away, we don't want to spook him.

This is a good chance to apologize for what we did, to explain that we were just thankful for having someone to fight alongside and that we didn't mean to bring up anything painful.

>>22539506
A true knight would never abandon nor beat up those in need of help. We are a true knight.

>>22539506
>[ ] Talk to Nicolas
We need to apologize. We hurt him.

>>22539506

Sit down and talk to him.

But at the FAR side of the bench. Don't crowd him, but be close-ish.

Suggested dialogue.
"I'm sorry Nicolas. I didn't mean to remind you of anything or hurt you when I drew that. If I knew I would have never made it.

I was trying to show my appreciation, when I was fighting you were there with me, and I liked not being alone out there. If you want I could show you a nicer portrait next time."

>>22539618

Hi, my name is Sam and I suck at first impressions.

Hey do you guys like ducklings?

Yeah you probably like ducklings.

>>22539701
They're cute and fluffy. We may be a knight, but we're still a 14 year old girl and ducklings are adorable.
