If you're only interested in useful posts, you can skip the rest of this. I'm only out to waste the time of those who want it wasted, today.
For anyone else, color me curious.

Water, Wind, Light, Flame, Earth, or Darkness.

Pick one, please.

To clarify, "light" doesn't mean good and "darkness" doesn't mean evil, or bad. Or vice versa; there's no moral alignment to any of them.
And I didn't "skip heart", so don't bother bringing that up.

No, you've got it a little mixed up, at the end.

Light is straightforward, but it isn't always gentle. The sun might nourish life, but it burns your eyes to stare, doesn't it? And in a blistering summer, it's shade and darkness that provides gentle comfort.

[imusntrunaway]

I didn't think of it like that. Summer nights are nicer than summer days, too.
I think I understand now.

[heartsink]

Right. Your conclusions all depend on your position.

[imusntrunaway]

Then... I think I might change my answer to Darkness.

[heartsink]

That's alright. Answers don't have to be static.

Are you like a summer night?

[imusntrunaway]

I guess.
I wouldn't know what a winter night or any other sort of night would feel like...
But I'm more like the night than the day, I think.
I don't like confrontations.

[heartsink]

Yes. That can be a trait of darkness.

But, what did you mean before that? About winter nights and others. Have you never experienced night before, or do you come from a place without seasons?

[imusntrunaway]

My world didn't have seasons.
After a catastrophe, there was only summer.
I know about the other seasons from books and stories.

[heartsink]

May I ask what happened?

im not late at all

[imusntrunaway]

Second Impact.
Scientists found the First Angel, Adam.
Something went wrong during an experiment.

[It's bare bones, but it's the extent of what he knows and what Misato had told him.]

god don't even worry i was secretly on hiatus anyway

[heartsink]

First Angel?

You don't have to answer, if you don't want to. I'm only curious.

im supposed to be on hiatus but w/e

[imusntrunaway]

It was a monster. Mankind descended from it.

ahaha i'm honored that you would bend it for me

[heartsink]

You would call something like that a monster?

[imusntrunaway]

It tried to kill us. All the Angels did. They were the enemy.

[heartsink]

That explains it, then. I think I understand.

[ quietly scoffing at humanity and their use of the word "monsters." ]

[imusntrunaway]

They're all gone, now.

[Because his world is gone. A+ extermination method.]

[heartsink]

Are you glad for it?

[ w2g ]

[imusntrunaway]

[What a weird question.]

I obviously would be.

[heartsink]

Would be, huh.

[imusntrunaway]

That's a 'yes.'

[heartsink]

It's not always easy to tell, with language like that.

[imusntrunaway]

If there aren't any Angels, humanity is safe. [And he can be useless again.]

[heartsink]

Why are they called Angels?

[imusntrunaway]

That's what we decided to call them.


I don't know why. I asked that question too. Nobody knew.

[heartsink]

It's strange to me. I'm not used to humanity using a term like that for something deemed an enemy.
