Drakensis, I didn't mean to ignore you, but somehow I overlooked your entire message yesterday. I can only plead massive brain dysfunction, as I can come up with no other reasonable explanation.
My response(s), equally smart-alecky...
It's this cool lighter he's got, you see...
Anyway, this is part of a training session which I will probably nuke, since even for Doug, magic isn't solely a matter of will. It just sounded good when I wrote it.

He can probably make a fire without matches too.

Quote:I'm so tempted to use that.
Who is this WE, white man?
Quote:If I could afford to let the story slip into major silly territory, I'd steal this in an instant.
"It could be the Beansprout Liberation Army! Or ACROSS! British Library Special Forces! Knights Templar! Perhaps he's a Bane Sidhe agent! The Kolat! Autobot Intelligence! The RED Ribbon Army! The Four Sisters!"
"Perhaps he's SAFE?"
"Now you're just being silly... Oh shit! Do you think he might be working for..."
"Us? Hmmmm. It's possible..."
Quote:Correct. The only thing keeping me from definitely including this scene is concern about whether Shinji ever really would think he could understand the way his father thinks.
Learning from example doesn't require a GOOD example after all.

Gendo is many things, a giver of comprehensive briefings he is not. Why is this a cause for surprise?
Quote:I like and pity Rei, and I think she got royally shafted in the source material. If Heinlein's right, I'm going to be guaranteeing another universe where she's happy, as opposed to a 50-mile-long corpse.
A_a. How sweet.
Quote:Josh currently has our copy. Hey, if you're watching DVD, did you ever get the Omake entry on the menu to work?
Where are they? Ceiphiro? (Sorry, watching MGR off and on for the last few weeks)

Quote:Well, Gendo likes symbolism a bit too much than is good for him. But as I recall, Rei was the name Shinji would have gotten had he been born a girl... so it was appropriate to give it to Yui's "daughter".
That was a bit of a slip wasn't it, on the part of Gendo.
