Introductions

[[Private, hackable to people who know Ryuusei]]
That Date kid must be kind of an oddball to turn into a Zonder like that. Hope he's not gonna compete with me if a new mech arrives on base... I'll have to put him in a wrist lock until he gives it up!
[[/private]]

So I met a few of you when I first arrived on base, and a few more of you when I went on my first mission, but Ingram said that I needed a proper introduction to you guys, so here I am. As long as you guys don't get too out of line and don't try to mess with me I think this is gonna work out pretty well.

My first mission with the EDF was great since I got to shoot down a bunch of Aerogator bugs, even if the big boss was some sort of special deal for the giant carpenter or whatever he was, with that kid stuck inside of it. I've read a few reports, but if anyone can give a better idea of what the hell all that was I'd appreciate it.

- Rookies and Newbies: Mao's got a lot of the trouble cases and I don't have a schedule yet, but I'm going to drag you into the simulators one way or another. If anyone wants it come and get it.
[[Filtered to Melissa Mao]]Melissa, send a few kids my way![[/filter]]
[[Filtered to Viral]] I don't know how much experience you have but I'll take you on with mechs or hand to hand or whatever any time, so come get some![[/filter]]

- Fellow Pilots: I've been piloting my Gespenst for a while, and as nice as it was when I got it, and as good as its been to me, it's also getting pretty damned old. I know you've got all your fancy custom units that you're assigned to, and Ingram said he's not reassigning anyone right now, but the brass be damned if any of you wuss out and can't handle your mechs, give them to me. Pronto. Or I'll be taking them.

- Anyone else who drinks: I'm totally new to Tokyo, and I know some of you have been here for a while, so I know you have to have found a good bar or two. Anyone who can match my schedule for a day off should show me around and we can go get a few drinks. "A few" being pretty damned relative. Thanks in advance.

Maybe Shinji...Or Kusuha.

One's a little punk, the other doesn't know what's she's doing, both could use a lot of work.

Also, I am always down for drinks.

I saw that Kusuha girl on the last mission. Still has a lot to learn, though she managed to get through to that Zonderized kid somehow. As for little punks... that, I can handle.

You find any good places in the city yet?

There's a place down in Shinjuku I've been before that's pretty good. Unfortunately it gets a little hazy when I try to remember where it is. Shiro might know where it is.

I'll write it down or somethin' when if we get there. You'll have to introduce me to this Shiro guy, though.

He seems like a pretty cool guy.

Well, whenever we all have the time. Maybe find someone else to drag along too.

Welcome to the base, Katina. It was...educational working with you.

[Private]
Ryusei's...unique. He's always been incredibly passionate about robots, real and fictional, and that thing that had him must have picked up on that. Deep down, he's a really heroic, compassionate guy and a good friend...it's just that everything above that deep-down is an oblivious robot fanatic.

And I don't think you have to worry. Ryusei's pretty devoted to his R-1.
[/Private]

Um...if you'd like to pilot the Type 2 sometime, I wouldn't mind...but Major Ingram says that only certain people can activate the T-Link System, and that's pretty important. Nothing to do with skill ~~obviously~~, just something you randomly have.

Thanks. I'll drag you into the sim and show you what it's like to be on the receiving end! That's how you'll really learn!

I'll keep an eye on Ryusei I guess. As worried as everyone was about him I figured he must be a good kid, even if he is weird.

And as for that T-Link System... even if I can't use it, I bet I could pilot the Grungust without it! I'll have to give it a try some time.

You...Sergeant Major Mao...Mr. Egret...silly me, I used to be worried I'd never be able to learn enough...

Eventually I'll have to figure out what part of everyone's training those two don't already have covered so I can fill in. They're both pretty damn good though.

Any suggestions?

Um...

Cooking? Proper use of a hot tub?

...no, no suggestions ma'am.

You look like the sort who already knows how to do all of that.

I guess I'll just have to consult with the two of them then, huh?

Damn... now I want to know if either of them can cook...

So your name's Katina? We haven't been introduced yet, but I've heard a lot about you around the base. ~~And most of it isn't good...~~

Anyway, I guess you could consider me new, but I've definitely been getting better. Done a few rounds in the simulator. Up for a round later to break the ice, maybe?

You're Shinji Ikari right? I've heard a little about you as well.

Anyways, I'll take you on in the sim whenever you're ready for it!

Ooh? You sure you're ready for me? A little hand-to-hand exercise would do me good, this base is far too boring.

You don't have anything I'm not ready for ~~except those claws. I've never fought a guy with claws~~. And don't be worried about being entertained... the only ones here who can match me are those crazy cyborgs.

Alright, then.

((Since it's Viral, he's gonna lose. He never wins against a main character. Maybe not completely a one-sided fight, since he does have claws, but clearly you will win :D ))

Alright then! Meet me in the gym in whatever you wanna fight in!

((Katina's more of a side character, but is also a better technical fighter than a lot of the main characters, so I guess it's the same result XP))

[Later]

L-lucky... monkey.

((Viral always fails. Lack of fighting spirit and all. So, he maybe got one or two good hits in, but still clearly is the loser. LOSER))

*Sporting a few minor bruises and a single nasty cut on her cheek*

So, you a little less bored now? Feh, you seemed bored during the fight. Is that really all you can do, Oh Mighty Kitten?

((He needs to hang around the King of Braves a little more))
