The door slides open.
“Heee~ey. Anyone home?”
Rei skips in, kicking off her shoes at the entrance, somehow getting
them both into the show closet by the front door.
“Um...Yui's going to Okayama and the Commander's still at NERV,”
Asuka says, pulling off her shoes and placing them in the closet,
“Rei, w-who did you expect to be here?”
“Oh, sometimes my sisters come'n visit,” Rei says, “Sometimes
Merrill the Murder Kitteh. Sometimes the thing in my closet
gets out, and I have to kill it again. You know. Stuff.”
Asuka blinks. That implies the dead Angel Rei stuffed into her
closet sometimes reanimates. Asuka is unsure of whether or not that
is ethical.
She is also unsure as to whether or not Rei cares.
“So, anyway,” Rei says, dropping her book bag on the left couch
of the L-shaped configuration at the center of the living room, “I
figure since Uri's busy debriefing everyone, that means we don't have
synch tests, so I asked Little Mommy and we got the afternoon off.”
Tossing aside the jacket of her school uniform, she grabs a
controller from the green and black Xbox next to the big screen TV
and taps the button at the controller's center. The light on the
machine glows green, the minicomputer that serves as the game machine
booting up.
“Ever play video games?” Rei asks.
Asuka shrugs, walking over to the couch and sitting next to Rei.
“N-not really,” she says, “I never had time.”
Rei nods, grabbing a second controller and handing it to Asuka.
Music like measured chimes begins playing from the widescreen TV.
“'Kay. I just got a copy of Final Fantasy XVI, and this
one's got co-op! So I'll walk you through it, 'cause I usually play
with Hatchi and she's a minmaxing troll.”
Asuka blinks.
“Wait,” she says, “If it says 'Final,' how are there
sixteen...”
“Heee~ey. Anyone home?”
