Psycho Analysis
Chapter 1 Session One
-The concrete jungle promptly named Tokyo 3 was busy, like any other day. The Japanese City was in a state of tranquillity, the sun was shining brightly and the people were happy. Well if you didn't count the numerous craters surrounding the city and the smoking remains of the 9th angel Materiel……....other than that, everything was just dandy and the city never looked better.
-The city was in constant construction, so the buildings were either newly built….….a pile of rubble or..…..under repairs. It just so happens that a relatively new building was finished just a few days prior to the angel attack and was feeling the after affects of the battle……..(Meaning it looked like half of it was stepped on) The small six story structure was on the corner of 5th street and Main street and that was where a mid-sized blue sports car was headed ……..
"Misato remind me again why we're going there..…" The pilot of unit one asked.
"Shinji let me put it into simple terms….…The United Nations want the pilots to be more effective…..They want the pilots to be able to focus on piloting and nothing else…..…and……..."
"………and what?………. Misato, how is psychiatric therapy suppose to improve my piloting….…? I'm not crazy Misato."
" Shinji " she said, " It's more like a family counseling………… this way you guys can solve all your problems……… which will allow you to focus on defeating the angels…………"
" Wait….….did you say FAMILY?"
" That's right Shinji your father is gonna be there."
"Misato……...I'm scared……"
" Aw..…..Don't be scared Shinji….…I mean, what could go wrong?…...."
***********************************
-The blue sports car parked directly in front of the entrance to the building and out of it came four people, and they began walking towards their destination……..well make that three people dragging Shinji to the 5th floor of the building.
" Asuka, I can't believe you knocked him out………I mean he was just afraid to see his father," Misato said as she was reading a map of the building layout.
" Hey he wouldn't cooperate….….and Shinji didn't mind……isn't that right Shinji? " She said, while dragging the limp body of Shinji Ikari.
-The only response the unconscious boy gave Asuka was some random babbling and he was leaving a trail of saliva on the floor.
" Pilot Sorhyu, I hardly believe that Pilot Ikari enjoyed the experience of feeling the stop sign beaten into his face" Rei said in her usual monotone voice.
"Hey, I'm not the one who dropped him and let him fall three flights of stairs!" the red head argued.
"Pilot Sorhyu, you were the one who dropped Shinji three flights of stairs and shortly after you had a good laugh about how funny it was to see him wake up halfway, only to become unconscious again after you threw your shoe at him."
" Hey you have to admit that was a one in a million shot…….and did you see his face it was like he was sucking on a lemon……..talk about a Kodak moment!"
"Lucky for you Asuka…….." Misato said, while she was still fidgeting with map. " …..…there's a First Aid Center in this building…..….that is if I can find it on this map……."
"Major the First Aid Center is located in suite 27 on the 5th floor."
"Rei, how in the world did you know that?……..I never even showed you the map……"
"I memorized the blue prints using the Nerv database and the sign there simply implies that suite 27 is the First Aid Center"
"Oh…..….for a second there I thought you were a…….."
" I'm-m not a clone ….…..What makes you say that!"
-For a brief moment the Pilot of Unit zero, who was usually, calm and reserved became brash and completely out of character. All eyes were now focused on the girl with the blue hair, who was looking very nervous at the moment.
"Rei………..I never said you were a clone……..is there something we need to know?"
"…..…uh….…u-uhh…..."
-Throughout her life, the 1st child had a personality of a block of ice, showing little or no emotion. In her case she was only human (errr…. half human?) and she couldn't bottle up her emotions forever…..and so the ice melted and she snapped.
"You must be hearing things!…...i never said that!…..…hehehheh….." She said with a nervous chuckle.
"So what DID you say Rei…….?" The major implied.
"Well what I said was………."
"Spit it out First child, are you trying to hide something?" the second child questioned,
"Uh……...I-I feel alon-e……....yeah that's what I said."
"Okay, guess I heard you wrong……...now lets get Shinji patched up" Misato said while walking towards suite 27"
" What!….…that's it!….…..your not going to look into this any further??!"
"Asuka…….…do you realize that I haven't had any alcohol for three days now………..?" she said with a twitch in her eye.
" What does that have to do with…….…"
-Asuka Langley Sorhyu was fearless and had a good reason to be unafraid. She had the giant bio-mechanical monstrosity known as Eva at her disposal. She wasn't stupid though and she knew that you should never get in the way of someone in withdrawal.
" I mean let's go get him patched up!"
" THAT's what I thought now LETS GO!"
-When Misato didn't get her daily dose, she gets mood swings ever constant and ever present mood swings………
-To understand why Misato stopped drinking, we have to a look at what happen three days ago……
###### Flashback -Three days ago-######
"URPPPPP!!……...That's the way to start the day!"
-Sighing as he entered, the third child watched as his would-be guardian downed two more cans of beer.
"Misato I bet you can't go one day with out drinking…….."
"What's that you *hic* say?…….a challenge?" the major drunkenly said,
"Huh?……..did I say that out loud?……...oh, well I was just kidding……"
-When The Operations director was drunk, she has what's called, selective hearing……..errr……..well something like that……
"OH! So you want to raise the stakes! Fine with me! If I can't go one *hic* month without alcohol………
" Misato I never said ………"
"So, mister big shot is already claiming victory!…….well starting now…...No more beer!…..…I am so confident I'll win……. lets say…….…if I lose *hic* you can have my car Shinji! AND if I win I get to have your car! Hah! *hic* "
"Uhh ……..but I don't have a ca-………I mean DEAL!"
###### End Flashback ######
"SO ARE there ANYMORE objections!" the major said in the most frightening way imaginable
-Asuka and Rei were trying their best to avoid eye contact with the major but to no avail the icy death glare she was giving could pierce through anything. The best way to describe it would be to compare it to the Lance of Longinus as it stabbed your heart with excessive force.
"WELL!…….ARE there ANYMORE objections!" she said carefully sounding out each syllable.
-The two Eva pilots answered as quickly as possible trying to avoid the wrath of the major Katsuragi and hopefully getting on her good side.
" .…..nope….." the two answered
"Well that's just spiffy…now lets go…... times a wasting……" Misato said in a cheerful tone.
-Knowing that her mood could easily shift back, the two girls continued to avoid eye contact and kept their mouths shut. They then headed towards suite 27, all the while still dragging the young Shinji Ikari across the cold floor.
***********************************
-Lucky for them the First Aid Clinic was for the most part intact and was in much better shape than other parts of the building, it was a bit shaken up but a person couldn't tell an Angel stepped on it.
"Doctor, why is Shinji acting like that?…….Its freaking me out"
"Well……..to tell you the truth Ms. Katsuragi………I'm not a doctor and this is only First Aid TRAINING facility……..The instructor left to go eat his lunch……..which leaves me in charge" the trainee said while grinning sheepishly.
"Then what the hell did you do?" the frustrated woman proclaimed,
"I think I gave him too much morphine………he'll be fine in a little while so don't worry…..…he just wont be himself until then"
" I CAN FLY!" Shinji said,
" …..oy..………"
***********************************
" Hey Misato what took you so long…..…." Asuka said,
" YOU"RE PRETTY…….….do YOU want to KISS ME!"
" What the hell happened to him?!?!"
"He's hopped up on drugs" Misato said, "He should just wear himself out"
" I love YOU!!!!!" the pilot of unit one said as he lounged at the girl, but landing his face squarely on Asuka's fist.
" That'll teach you not to ever.……...EVER touch me!!!!!!"
-That day the young Shinji Ikari received his very first black eye and among other things like his very first lapse into unconsciousness outside the Eva.
"Rei can you please go get us some ice…….….and while your at it get me some bee-……...I mean coffee……..LOTs of coffee……..and GUM too."
"Yes Major" Rei said with no signs of her previous odd behavior
***********************************
-Almost an hour late, the small group of four finally made their way to suite 32, for their scheduled appointment with Dr. Morimoto. Upon entering the room the first thing a person would notice would be the seemingly never ending plaques, certificates, and awards covering the walls. Unless that person was male, then the first thing one would notice was the pretty girl at the reception desk.
"Shinji……your drooling……."
" ……..gah…….." Shinji said while gawking at the secretary,
-The small but, cozy little greeting room had a couch on one side of the room and the reception desk opposite to the couch. The girl at the desk seemed oblivious to the visitors she had in the area, and had a good reason for it, being that her headphones were playing as loudly as possible.
" We're here for the appointment….….is he ready to see us?"
-Leaning back in the seat with eyes closed and humming to the music, Mana Krishkima was enjoying her lunch break. (Sorry don't know how to spell her last name…) Mana's face was full of disappointment; she had waited for forty-five minutes for the pilots to arrive. In anticipation of pilot of unit one, the girl had even cleaned up her work desk to impress the pilot.
"Excuse me?……..we're here for the appointment……."Misato said a second time,
-Usually the oak desk was very untidy and unkempt because she was only a high school intern and didn't actually work for Dr. Morimoto after all. There was no need to look professional and this internship was an easy grade for the class she was taking.
" HEY! I'm Talking to YOU!" Misato said with a hint of anger in her voice"
-Giving up on any hope that the pilots would show up, the girl went on her lunch break and being Shinji's biggest fan, she was more than a little upset that they didn't attend the meeting.
"ALRIGHT……..enough of this!" infuriated Misato grabbed the girl and shook her violently, then proceeded to choking and then she just openly strangled her.
"Misato!"
"I'm going TO KILL YOU!!"
" MISATO!" yelled Shinji
" Sorry…….kinda overreacted" she said as released her hold on the girl
Gasping for air, the secretary adjusted her blurry vision as she focused her eyes on a group of four, " ……...wheez…....wheez…….what the……wait aren't you….…"
" We're here for our first session…..…."Shinji said.
" OH my GOD! SHINJI IKARI!"
"Huh? Yea……that's me……."
"I'm YOUR BIGGEST fan" Mana said as she scrambled for something to write with. "CAN I have your AUTOGRAPH!"
"Ummm….…sure"
"THANK you….…you know…….your my hero" she said in a way that would make most guys melt,
-What Shinji didn't realize was that Mana was giving him every possible signal that she was hitting on him.
"Well it was nice meeting you……"
-Upset that her charms had no effect on Shinji she lead them into the office and thought up a plan to grab his attention……..
***********************************
-Once inside the office, the four of them took a seat in each of their own chairs as they surveyed their new surroundings. Except for Misato. She was nervously pacing around the room, while chewing furiously on her bubble gum, to avoid thinking about her cravings. The office itself was about 5 times the size of the waiting room and had a welcoming feel to it. Glancing around there was no sign of Dr. Morimoto but one could hear a faint snoring sound echoing in the suite.
"This guy must be rich………." Asuka said after observing the leather chairs and fine red wood table.
"…….huh?…….oh you've finally arrived!!" the mysterious man said as he popped out from under the desk.
-This had surprised the visitors but the shock had subdued and the pilots were now currently trying to pull Misato away from the doctor as she was strangling him.
" You stupid jerk! You scared the shit out of me!!!!!"
-The kids succeeded in calming her down while the mysterious man gasped for air and then adjusted his tie, while looking very exhausted.
"What were you doing under a desk?" Asuka asked while holding on to Misato's left arm.
"Sleeping under the desk is in fact good for your back" the mysterious man answered,
-Upon seeing the mysterious man Shinji immediately recognized something familiar about the man but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Dr. Morimoto……...you must be the pilots?"
"That is correct" Rei said with no emotion in her voice
"Sorry about being late, we had a few accidents on the way here"
"…..…and you must be Major Katsuragi. I'm sorry that we had to go through that but……Ms. Katsuragi you no longer have to be here……."
-Misato was already in her cheerful, carefree mood.
" Well that's okay but wasn't this supposed to be a family counseling?"
The doctor hesitated and stared at Misato. The way her mood shifted back and forth was very intriguing to the doctor...…....He shook his head and opened his mouth to answer her question.
"The UN thought it would be better if it was just the pilots here and found it irrelevant to have the guardians here…….since you have other duties to attend to "
"So my father isn't here?" the third child asked sounding disappointed,
"It was your father who suggested the idea of him being here was meaningless."
"……...I should have known better….…."
"Well if that's the case…….I'm going to go to Starbucks and try to get my mind off alcohol" Misato said as she left in a hurry. (Is there a Starbucks in Japan?..…)
.
***********************************
"All right lets begin…….first we'll play a game so I can get to know you better" Dr. Morimoto said as he put on his glasses, " ……and remember kids. "A HAPPY PILOT IS AN EFFECTIVE PILOT" he said with a big smile.
" Okayyy…..."
"I'll say a word and say the first thing that comes to mind"
" GET on with it already!" Asuka said as she became inpatient.
" Here we go……….Apple……"
"RED"
"Nourishment"
"Loneliness"
"That was good..…..now try……...Baseball bat……..."
"HITTING"
"Recreation"
"Loneliness"
"One more…….…Candle……."
"FIRE!"
"Light source"
"Loneliness"
" Ok, That was interesting………lets try something else…...." he said as he took some notes.
************************************
"..Ummm…….can ask what this game has to do with you getting to know us better?" Shinji questioned,
"Shinji, everything I do has a purpose"
"You're a Freak'N nut….…"
" Ms. Sorhyu, please relax and just try to enjoy the game" the doctor said while rubbing his temple.
"ENJOY! Don't tell me what to do OLD MAN!"
"Asuka I'm hurt……..I thought most people your age played Dance Dance Revolution."
" ……….. "
************************************
"This is pointless….…"
"Come on, Ms. Sorhyu even Ms. Ayanami is enjoying herself" the shrink observed,
"I'll KICK YOUR ASS old MAN!"
"That's the spirit Rei!"
"Maybe-be we should stop…….Ayanami is starting to scare me" Shinji begged,
"I'll Kick YOUR ASS TOO, IKARI!"
"Rei its just a game…….."Asuka said,
"You're just saying that because YOU'RE LOSING!" Rei boasted,
"THIS GAME IS EVIL!!!!!……I must DESRTROY IT!!" Shinji said as he picked up the game and prepared to throw it across the room, " AHHHH!!!!! ITS GOT MY FINGER!"
" I'm surrounded by idiots….…" The second child said as she watched on in disgust,
"IT'S possessed!"
-Shinji frantically ran around the room trying to get the foreign object of his finger, but only succeeded in knocking over the lamp and the book self.
"This is the last time I ever play Connect Four with you guys…" Asuka grumbled,
-To be continued.......
