"REI! REPORT!" Asuka snapped as she and Touji pounded across the internal landscape of the suddenly opened Geofront.
Rei looked up at the circling Eva 05 series in dawning horror. "They're... They're the Eggmen!"
Eva 03 tripped at this announcement, and measured itself in a full-length sliding bellyflop that tore a dreadful gash through the carefully prepared chunk of national forest where they were doing their shooting. Its comm systems were silent.
Asuka, her mind intent on the mission, didn't really notice."Scheist! That means we'll have to..." What Rei had just said, as opposed to what had been in the script, finally penetrated, and she shot a nasty glare (or/and her Eva shot a nasty glare) in Rei's general direction. "And you call -me- a snarky little bitch? Hah!"
She turned and planted her Eva's boot into Unit 03's side. "Get up, stoodge. We've gotta do this over."
The comlink finally opened, revealing a prostrate Touji convulsing helplessly in his control chair as dozens of tiny silver orbs of saline floated away from his eyes and off into the LCL.
She glared at him, "Dummkopf," before turning to wave her Eva's free arm cheerfully at the distant director. "Shouldn't you go do a control room scene, or something? We'll be a while muzzling Wondergirl and getting the Stoodge on his feet again."
There was the inevitable clang of Eva-contacting-Eva as Unit 00 completed its sneak and grabbed Unit 02 in a full body glomp from behind, its hands reaching forward and around to paw suggestively at Unit 02's chestplate. "No, keep the cameras rolling... We'll have such -fun-, and I'd hate to have the viewers missing what they were waiting for."
Asuka didn't even flinch, but rather slumped. "Lucky Charms," she said quietly, then repeated, louder, "Lucky Charms!" before cutting loose for real. "Somebody let Wondergirl at the verdammt Lucky Charms! We're overbudget, underslept, massively behind schedule, not out of any fault of our own, oh no, but rather because of overruns -upstory- from us and no fault of our own, and now we're going to have to spend a full fucking day fixing this fucking scene because some fucker was stupid enough to let Wondergirl, of all the fucking people, at the fucking Lucky Charms!"
"So -cranky-," Rei pouted, then leaned Unit 00 forward, as though it had a mouth, and Unit 02 an ear for that mouth to whisper sweet nothings in. "But don't worry, you're pretty enough to be worth calming down, and even if you wouldn't usually be interested, I think that I can promise that Touji will be more than cooperative enough to make it worth your while..."
The Director finally ripped his eyes away from the spectacle. "Cut. Just cut."
"But don't lose the footage," said his assistant, combing his fingers through his ponytail. "Just think what it'll be worth on ebay!"
"This is your fault, isn't it?"
"I blame the caterers!"
Blessed be.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
