Shinji will probably be OOC

*Shinji's thoughts*
=== Change of scene

======================================================
Thanks for the reviews. Author notes (more like an explanation actually) About the cast: I chose kaji as Luc because 1º Gendo would have been too predictable in that role. 2º Luc is not what we'd normally expect from the 'devil'. Luc is more mischievous than evil.

During the ride, Shinji had a pretty accurate idea about "the boss": He was extremely absent-minded and a tad moody; but the latter was probably 'misato's merciless teasing. They were currently engaged in a discussion concerning the man's bald spot which, by the way, was only visible in her mind. An eternity bickering should earn them a place at Tokyo's University: "disagreement over dull topics 505". It sure as hell beat the "Nap 101" class that Asuka was always complaining about from her college days.

The car came to a stop and they were back at the headquarters. 'Misato' went to fetch the forgotten papers and the boy and "the old man" were alone in the lobby.

RING RING RING

"Sir?…. Sir?… Are you going to get that?" Shinji said trying to catch the Man's attention.

"Get what?"

"You are ringing. Actually, your cell phone is "

"Wha….right, cell phone" He patted his clothes trying to find the offensive object. Finally his search came to an end in his jacket's inside pocket. He took the phone and looked at it "Lets see……. Bloody hell!! How do you turn this on? Do you know?"

"Just press the ON button"

"..ON button…. ON button…Of all days to forget my glasses….ON button, here. Hello?.. Uhu..the WHAT?…Well, it's not the first time that I'm late for a meeting….Yes, I'll tell her" He turned off the phone and put it back in his pocket. "Thanks for the help. I'm too old to catch up with the new 'toys', but she" he pointed at the direction 'Misato' had gone "makes me carry one the whole time because of the company and all that. Do you have one?"

"A phone? Yes, Misato gave me one. She said I had to use it in case of an emergency"

"Who?"

"Misato…. I….. live with her" *Isn't God supposed to see and know everything?* puzzled expression nº 1203.

"Gee, no kid! that's a myth; The experts _see_ and _know_ everything. They watch it all trough special cameras; think of it as a….. universal Big Brother. At the end of the shift, they make a synopsis with the most relevant things and attached it to the individual's file in the main computer. Do you imagine what would happen if I had to look at all those monitors at the same time? No way José."

"If you don't look upon earth constantly, what do you do?" It was a good thing that God looked like Fuyutsuky, even if they didn't act alike. It was easier to talk to him than to talk to a god that looked like Gendo or Asuka _shivers_

"Most of the time I answer to prayers. Humans are a very religious kind, always praying. Not that I'm complaining. I get billions of them via e-mail that require my attention. I may not have a very good memory but I can type like a bat out of hell. Most of the time its 'Thanks, I'll keep it in mind' or 'grow up! If you want good grades, study'. But sometimes the request is not shallow or stupid and needs my special intervention. You know what they say ' I work in mysterious ways'"

"Yeah, I've heard about that" So far Shinji was not impressed with his subconscious's idea of god.

"I can see that you're not very talkative. You can talk to me; I won't tell anyone. What's troubling you? Does it have to do with girls?"

Shinji looked doubtful but the man's voice had a soothing quality that made him trustworthy. He added it to God's main features list for future reference:

1_ Extremely absent-minded.

2_Irritable.

3_Hobby: Golf.

4_Not happy with modern technology.

5_Deteriorated vision.

6_Interested in reality shows, as weird as it may seem.

7_ Doesn't talk often to others, but when he does, he talks a lot.

8_In urgent need of an anger management class.

New!!! 9_ soothing voice= trustworthy.

He sighed and picked out an aspect of his crappy life to talk about.

" I…..don't like my dad very much; I don't think he likes me either….uhhh.. We have a complicated relationship. For some reason I always try to do the right thing so he can know what a nice person I am, but it doesn't seem to be working. He compliments everyone but me. It's like he's doing it on propose.I'm a little jealous"

"That's…… too deep for me to analyze now; as you know I'm no Freud, but I'll give it a shot: If your father is a fool, don't pay him attention. Find a role model to look up to, and you'll stop wasting your energy for an ungrateful bastard"

"You can swear?"

"Not everything is entirely black or white; like a person is not completely good or bad. I can swear and that doesn't make me less of a God, although it makes me sound a bit unstable. Well….. as long as it doesn't make me sound senile there's nothing to worry about, right?" He said with a laugh.

The pilot gave him a hesitant smile while contemplating about the man's odd sense of humor.

'Misato' chose that moment to make an appearance.

"What took you so long?"

"I couldn't find them, they were in the wrong pile with the wrong papers. I hate paperwork "

"That's because your desk is a mess, you need to tidy it up"

"We'll discuss it later. I need your signature on the first three pages and the last one"

"Ok, Here are the admission papers signed, now What's this for?"

"Office supplies."

"Did you found out what happened to the pencils?"

"Sort of….Luc stuck them into the ceiling"

"He is incorrigible!!"

"Don't be mad at him. After all he's got a reputation to live up to"

"I almost forgot!! He called me and said we are late for the meeting at the restaurant"

"Come on, I'll drive"

*Ok* Shinji thought *Here we go……………….again*
