Hello
Is anyone awake?

Comments

[theguideless]

I dont know much about music
But i think I saw those when we were at the palace and some people talk a lot about music on here
Maybe you can find one in the city?
Its possible

[imusntrunaway]

Maybe.
I guess it would be nice if I could find one.
It's been a while since I've played.

[theguideless]

Whats it like?

[imusntrunaway]

Like...?
What do you mean?

[theguideless]

What is it like to mkae music with a cello?
I dont know how I never heard music played before coming here

[imusntrunaway]

You don't have music where you come from?
That's... odd.

It's hard to explain over text.
You use a bow to slide across the strings while pressing them down with your fingers.
That's how you make music.
I'm sorry.
I'm not very good at explaining.

[theguideless]

[a delay.]

What does it feel like when you make it does it make you happy/

[imusntrunaway]

[That is met with a very long delay on Shinji's part. He legitimately has to think about this.]

It's okay.
It helps me relax.

[theguideless]

That sounds good
Do a lot of people where you are from make music to?

[imusntrunaway]

Yes.
It's a popular skill for parents to teach their children.
It gives them something to do after school.

[theguideless]

[school...SCHOOL!!! he knows this one! he knows what a school is!

kind of!!]

Do you make music with lots of other people?

[imusntrunaway]

Not really.
I usually play by myself.
I haven't played a duet with anyone besides my teacher.

[theguideless]

Oh
Would it be nice to?

[imusntrunaway]

I don't know.
Maybe.
It's supposed to be, but I can't say...

a wild asuka appeared

[redheadcarrier]

you'd probably fail at it.

just like everything else you do.

[imusntrunaway]

I've been playing it for several years.

[redheadcarrier]

and you piloted the Eva for a few months.

you still never got better at it.

[imusntrunaway]

Misato-san and the others said I was as good as you were.

[redheadcarrier]

who was that who got trapped in the sea of dirac right after that?

oh, right. Someone named Ikari.

[imusntrunaway]

I said I was sorry Asuka
I really am sorry
Im sorry
I dont want to argue with you

[redheadcarrier]

at least you get one thing right.

you really are sorry.

[imusntrunaway]

Why wouldn't I be?

[redheadcarrier]

I mean you're pathetic, you idiot.

[imusntrunaway]

[A minute passes before the next message.]

What do you want, Asuka?

[redheadcarrier]

[Asuka starts to type "I don't know" and then deletes it. Her reply takes a few minutes to pop up.]

Since when do you care?
