video - laptop

[neopianangst]

[Initially, Shinji's holding his laptop so you can only see part of his head in the video. It's a pretty bad view to be shooting a video of. His voice is pretty quiet and hesitant.]

So, um, does anyone know what--

[Moving the laptop now, revealing the fact that's wearing a skintight article of clothing that resembles a wetsuit. He tried it on out of curiosity and is looking pretty embarrassed.

He's already sure he's going to regret this.]

--this is? Or remember anything like it, I guess...besides the girl I was talking to before.

[Knowing what you're doing, she'll forgo knocking and just open your door, then leaning in the doorway.]

Kaworu should like it.

[neopianangst]

[DON'T JUST BARGE IN ON HIM LIKE THAT GEEZ.]

Rei...

Re: In person

[talkshitgetsis]

[A Rei is gonna go where a Rei is gonna go.]

What? I have one too, you know.

In person

[neopianangst]

You do?

[Maybe Asuka's diving club theory isn't as far off as it seems...

Except it is in the worst possible way.]

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Yes.

I didn't think it was a big deal, so I guess I put off bringing it up longer than I thought I would.

[And like she'd admit to drinking the water.]

It's white. [Closes the distances between herself and Shinji, prodding a finger into his chest.]

And it says 00 here, instead.

. . .

I don't really want to put it back on.

In person

[neopianangst]

Yeah, it's okay, I'm not going to ask you to.

[He regrets putting his on at all.]

So there's at least three of us that were involved in...whatever those suits are for, then.

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Think we'll get echoes if we go surfing?

[Beat]

...Hold on, three? You did mention a girl, didn't you...

In person

[neopianangst]

Because that would go so well for someone that can't swim.

[Just to drive home the irony of the apparent situation.]

Yeah. Red hair. Yells a lot.

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Water wings.

[Frowns at his description of the girl. Rei is expressing actual emotion this can't be good.]

Ugh.

In person

[neopianangst]

No way.

[Wait woah what is this.]

What's wrong?

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

...I don't want to be connected to that girl.

I don't like her.

In person

[neopianangst]

She said she remembers me wearing her clothing.

[He gestures to the plugsuit.]

One of these. But girlier.

Re: In person

[talkshitgetsis]

[Just...staring.]

I...see.

Are you sure she wasn't just lying?

In person

[neopianangst]

That'd be nice.

She said it before I got this, though.

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Coincidence?

[Sigh.]

Don't listen to her. [She's a BITCH.]

In person

[neopianangst]

What'd she do to you?

[Not that he's her biggest fan exactly but. It's rare to see Rei like this.]

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

I just don't like her.

I'm not gonna write you an essay about it.

In person

[neopianangst]

Uh...alright, then.

[This is awkward.]

I wonder what Kaworu has to do with it, since we remembered each other...

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Maybe he has one too, and then the color coded super hero team will be complete.

In person

[neopianangst]

[He looks thoughtful for a minute and blushes a little. Rei probably can make a pretty good assumption from that.]

I wonder what color he'd have...

In person

[talkshitgetsis]

Are.

Are you.

Are you daydreaming about your boyfriend in a skintight wetsuit in front of your sister?

In person

[neopianangst]

What?! N-No!

[Yes.

Whoops.]

in person

[talkshitgetsis]

{SHE LOOKS SO DISAPPOINTED]

You are.

The gayest.

in person

[neopianangst]

[He throws his pillow at her.]

Shut up.

in person

[talkshitgetsis]

[Bullseye. The pillow hits her in the face and falls off. Rei's blank expression hasn't changed.]

Assault.
