Argon Genesis: Evangelion

Chapter two: Concentration and Angry Red Heads don't mix

Asuka: Shinji! Dumkopf! Where's my Dinner?

Shinji hurriedly tried to hide the book under his bed and it slid under just before Asuka burst in, unfortunately when she came in he was sitting on the carpeted floor in his room with nothing near him looking guilty, Asuka, being her normal self immediately jumped to conclusions.

Asuka: What are you doing Shinji? Having your perverted fantasies about me again?

Asuka kicked Shinji, hard.

Asuka: That should teach you! Go make dinner!

Shinji finished his cooking and cleaned up; Asuka took her meal without any thanks and Shinji departed, exhausted, to his room. Now, instead of contemplating the day's events and boosting his self hatred to higher levels he had something interesting to do. He removed the book from its hiding place and began to read the pages.

The first few seemed to be mostly about meditation exercises however Shinji skipped this bit figuring he would read that later if this really was what it appears to be. Finally he found a page bearing the words 'Light Spell' this would be easy enough if the role playing games Kensuke was into was anything to judge by, which it probably wasn't.

The book showed some odd syllables, which were probably incantations and diagramed hand movements. Shinji thought 'Oh, what the hell!' and began reading the words and making the gestures.

Somewhere Kensuke said 'I sense a disturbance in the force', however this was because he was playing the Star Wars role playing game, not because he had felt something peculiar.

When he finished he was slightly disappointed when nothing happened, slammed the book shut, put on his SDAT player and laid down to sleep, this was when he noticed that the light was on.

Shinji got up and switched of the light, he was rather surprised that a pale blue glow was still lighting the room. He closed the curtains to his window and it was still there.

Shinji: Curiouser and Curiouser Somewhere across the multiverse, a young girl named Alice, who had been observing some playing cards talking and ordering executions felt like someone had stolen her line.

Shinji resumed reading the book, examining the next few spells, such as an invisibility spell, one for making fake sounds and a minor telekinesis spell. An idea formulated itself in his mind which would work as a nice payback to Asuka, however he pushed it away. The idea stayed there however and he finally decided that it would work without fail, that is, if the spells did work.

Shinji calmed himself and began whispering the words for the invisibility spell, when he was done he examined himself in the mirror, or rather didn't and book in hand he silently left the room.

Asuka had been enjoying a relatively easy day of Shinji torture but was feeling rather annoyed about her low synch scores and was now reading. She was definitely not in the mood for was about to happen.

A hideous laugh sounded from a wall near her, this alone made her jump off the couch she was on. From her left came was an ominous clock ticking noise and then behind her she heard a deep moaning screech.

By now she was feeling very afraid, she collapsed on the ground and went into the fetal position and began rocking back and forth. Just before she fell unconscious she saw her neural uplink hair ornaments hovering in front of her eyes.

Shinji became visible and laughed, the best thing was, he thought, that she would have to admit hearing and seeing things that only a psychotic would see to talk about it. As an afterthought Shinji got out some pens and scrawled a message on some paper 'Stop being mean to Shinji' was written in blood red letters. He placed the message in Asuka's pocket and lifted her onto the couch, switched off the light and went to bed.
