Synchronizations and Tangents...

Another "incident" today had been the false hope that somehow that this black haired woman's love had somehow come back from the grave like the purple haired version's had....

Reika

Sigh, though still somewhat new to actually being able to feel the emotion called "love" (or more like knowing the feeling felt like, as it were). It is a wonderful, warm emotion that warms the body and heart.

. . .

Having that after being so cold inside for so long was . . . wondrous.

Makes seeing the Major's loss (one of them), a throbbing wound reopened, that much harder now to take.

As for MY Magor Katsuragi, I find that I am VERY happy for HER gain!

Two such strong and polar opposite emotions. At the same time! If it had not been for that "data dump" my older sister provided me in order to better understand both the otherwise inexplicable, confusing things happening about me and within me I fear that I would be quiet lost on how to react and act! So I give condolences to the "manga" Katsuragi's loss and heart felt congratulations for having regained the love she thought lost! Not at the same place at the same time, though. And not doing it in a way to reveal certain . . .things that some wish to remain silent.

See, via mindspeak with some of the others of the family, I learned that there had been high hopes of something miraculous having happened. Tests run by some of those from the starship Dawntreader had been able to confirm that Kauji WAS from "my" reality, and thus by extension was "my" Major Misato's Kauji!

Back from the dead, apparently. Maybe this Chaos Energy doesn't have to be totally bad for everyone, eh? A lot of strange coincidences sure have been coming up because of it, let us just say (understating it by a mile).

Some of the elven mages (two of the only twelve remaining upon their world!) had detected something hopeful, but it was dashed to pieces. It was just memories and nothing more of the OTHER person known as Kaji, and faint ones at that.

Alas, the "manga" Major Katsuragi will have to at least be satisfied that Kaji's killer had been caught and put in the brig. . . .

This said, I tried not add to the poor woman's grief, but it took some time and effort. Even though we've got a Quest to take care of here, I had to do something. Even though both had been in the same room I waited for an appropriate time to either consol or congratulate each in turn (alone). I had picked up enough sense of protocol from my big sister to know it had to be done "appropriately" so as to not appear false hearted!

I

That said however, now I now have a MUCH deeper sympathy for my remaining "sisters" (the soulless "spare parts") down in the Chamber of Gauf (or the "Rei Aquarium" as I overheard Uncle Elrondir call it sometime earlier). Thank Heavens those soulless ones do not actually have enough brains to feel the pain of synching mind to mind! While I never felt any pain down in the Chamber while synching with my "sisters", updating their information starved minds with the latest and greatest of the life and times of Rei Ayanami!

. . .

Oh Sweet Jesus' mercy, please tell me I just didn't sound like Asuka there!! And life back then had been so dreary that as I am VERY surprised that my very empty clone sisters (soulless or not) did not burst into tears over it all, seeing it. Hm, then again I somehow got an impression that dear sister Rei had, before meeting Mum and Dad, become VERY proud of HER purpose and skills as an EVA pilot. Even surpassed "her" Asuka . . .and by God didn't THAT stick in the Second Child's craw, being upstaged by a what she saw as only a doll...

Sigh, my sisters in the Chamber...

. . .

Sigh, what am I going to do with them all? They're still down there, alive but not. Elrondir had said he had a few off the wall ideas, but . . .

Hrmph, anyway. As painful as that synching with my sister had been (must have been something to so with having similar but slightly different minds and souls synching up . . . feedback on a spiritual level?), I now had a much better . . .means of being able to actually live life, as it were.

Before? Don't bother asking.

Still, did I HAVE to somehow pick up an inexplicable taste for HORSEMEAT of all things? I mean I know that big sister picked up certain tastes in food from the memories of the woman we now call Commander Rei Ayanami. . .

. . .

Would actually eating meat of any type be a bad thing? I mean I no longer am allergic to it at all and who is to say since big sister chose to remain a vegetarian that I must . . .

Never mind. That hardly is important, right? Sorry for the tangents. Sometimes I find myself doing that, now that I am . . . no longer a doll.

That all said at least I cannot feel TOO embarrassed at being caught somewhat flatfooted by what happened later on, after what happened to "my" Asuka and "my" Shinji.

It was straight out of something from that one children's tale:

The Chronicles of Narnia! Surprisingly, I actually read that series (if only to do some book reports on them in my younger years in school).

1. Ironically enough, the scene came from the book in the series called The Voyage of the Dawntreader. IN particular, it was where one Eustace Scrubb found that dragon's lair on an island.
