savetheearth | Video - Late Friday Night

[The video flickers on to a close shot of a dark-haired woman's face. It's possibly you might have seen her face before, on the ad at the bus stop, or model that new dress in a magazine. She usually appears to exude pure confidence in her photographs, but right now, she doesn't look confident in the least.

If anything, she appears to be a bit apprehensive.]

I don't know if this is the right place for this. [She runs a hand through her long, black hair.] I'm not even sure if all this is real.

[Her thoughts flicker to the newly-formed scar on her chest. She shakes her head, as if to dismiss the thought entirely.] What am I saying? It had to be real!

[She forces her lips to curl up into a small, tight-lipped smile.]

I'm Misato Katsuragi. I don't remember any of my past life, but I'm hoping that someone out there might be able to tell me more. If that name or this face mean anything to you, I'd like you to call me. My number's 555-736-7360.

[Her smile widens now. It's certainly more genuine than the smile a few minutes before -- and relaxed, too.]

Hope to hear from you soon!

[Okay, that's it. It's late, and she's tired of being schooled by kids a half-decade younger than her. Misato's tone is short, her delivery curt.]

Haven't your parents ever taught you to respect your elders?

They, my teachers, and an entire Catholic church have tried, I'll give them credit for that.

But fuck that.

You're just that hard-headed, aren't you?

[Misato folds her arms over her chest defensively. She can't believe she's letting some teenage brat get the best of her!]

Well, if you don't have any answers for me, feel free to sit on it and spin.

Just ask all the people who know me! I do shit my own way, and you're handing out your phone number to strangers like a five year old.

[She's being goaded by a teenager. A teenager! She knows right now that she should stop herself, but the part of her that absolutely, positively has to be right forces her to continue this verbal parlay.

Stupid, but she can't help herself.]

Numbers can be changed, you know!

[ Yeah Marina doesn't even get why this lady's biting. ]

Wow, that is a lot of trouble to go to. Shit. Maybe you shouldn't have done it in the first place.

They say hindsight's 20/20.

You could use some glasses for your foresight though.

[Misato lets out a low growl of anger, then immediately cuts off communication.

Unsurprising to anyone, as soon as the camera's off, spends a good half-minute kicking the wall of her apartment.

Much to the chagrin of the people living upstairs.]

[ And Marina just annoys people laughing her ass off for a minute. ]
