exsilium | 1 [video]

[Bloop. The video turns on to show a shiny new face, a teenage boy who's apparently not completely sure he's doing this thing right. After a moment of scrutinizing the camera he apparently realizes it is in fact recording, and starts talking, the busy market place bustling in the background.]

Uh, hi. I'm Toji. I just got here.

[Yeah, okay. Even he can tell that was basically the lamest intro ever. He grits his teeth a bit and decides to just lay everything down.]

Okay. I'm not gonna pretend I understood halfa what they just told me, but they said they bring a lot of people here, right? From different times and worlds and all that. So that means maybe it's a long shot, but there could be someone here I know.

[Hold on. Someone might misinterpret that. Touji decides to clarify a little, looking just the tiniest bit flustered.]

Not that I need anyone here holdin my hand or nothin, I'm just sayin it'd be nice to see a familiar face.

[A few more moments of deliberation, and Touji changes his mind entirely.]

You know what, forget I asked. Can someone tell me where the best place to get some clothes in this market is? Ones that don't make me look homeless. Wearin this plugsuit everywhere is gettin embarrassing.

What's a plug suit?

Never you mind, Missy.

[This video is going to be staying pointedly focused on his face from now on.]

Oh, I get it.

Get what?

[Suspicious.]

[You know normally she does text, but him of all people-]

Suzuhara?

[Aren't you crippled or something?]

You're ashamed or something, right? Does it look that silly?

[ Sup this is your roommate talking. But neither probably know that yet. ]

I've met a few people from my world but are from a different time. It could get a bit confusing; hopefully anyone you know from here are from the same time as you.

[ He then thinks for a moment. ]

I can't think of any place that is the 'best' in terms of clothing, but there should be several you can try in the market. [ Now that he thought of it maybe he should get some more clothing himself. hm. ]

[Erk. Hit the nail on the head.]

I'll have you know it's the most advanced fancy robo-pilot gear on the market.

[...him, too?]

Toji Suzuhara? The Fourth Child?

[ The arrival of another from their world is notable, but not completely unexpected. A second of reasoning confirms that hers would indeed qualify as a familiar face.

Which leads her to turn on the camera and wait. ]

[Huh. Soryu?]

Nope, you got the wrong guy. Ain't no Suzuhara here.

[have a pretty blonde girl looking very amused at you!]

Unfortunately, there isn't much in the way of shopping around here.

[He's scrolling through the network as usual, glancing over at the posts when he sees this.

The last thing he remembers is Toji in the hospital. But time here didn't work in a logical fashion apparently, because Toji looks fine. He's... well, standing. Was he taken from before that incident...?

Shinji's still uncomfortable with video, so voice it is.]

I can help if you tell me where you are.

Don't give me that! I recognize you! What the Hell are you doing here?

[Seriously, he only piloted for ~~one episode~~ a few days!]

So show me if it's so fancy!

From a different time? What exactly does that even mean?

[He lowers the tablet for a second and glances around the market. Where to start?]

Ain't it sorted by the type of clothes or nothing?

[Toji, you ask for too much.]

[Toji squints. At the text.]

And just who are you?

Ayanami?

...You gonna say somethin?

[Yes. Very pretty. And very much talking to him. Durr hurr hurr, this place is proving to be great already.]

Looks like. I'd even take one of them cheesy souvenir t-shirts at this point, if you know what I mean.

Aha, you mean one of those -- "I went to Exsilium and all I got was this dumb t-shirt!"

Ah well, there are some people that are from my world but they're from the future so I haven't met them yet. But they have met me.

[ It's very weird ok. ]

I think are and others have more of a variety.

[ But really he's probably not the best person to be asking these question to whoops. ]

[ Well, all right. ]

Suzuhara.

You are correct in your assessment of this world.

Ikari! Great! Finally someone normal! I was worried I'd be stuck alone with Soryu and Ayanami for a minute there!

[What a relief. Having those two was as good as having no one.]

I'm in this marketplace, see? The one kinda by this big building.

[He pans the video around, making it clear that he means the market place by the Initiative Hold.]

Oh.

[And that and a few blinks is about all the response he gets from Toji. It is indeed very weird. But they already brought him here, so weird was possible, he supposed.]

Right. You know where there are some that maybe just have, like, jeans and t-shirts or somethin?
