☮ 050; [voice/video] dated to saturday morning
[It had been a week since anyone heard this voice. Longer still since it was broadcast over the network.]
[For Hal Emmerich, it had been five years since he awoke from a dream calling itself Johto. Five long years of wandering as fugitives against the world, of unkind truths and harsh realities. Failed missions, broken hearts, and at last a hard-won victory at the end of it all. The Patriots' AIs were eliminated thanks in no small part to Naomi, and for the first time since 2005, Otacon felt that everything might just truly work out alright. But first there was Snake to worry about--he'd last been seen from the air, fighting Liquid Ocelot on top of Outer Haven.]
[And the very next second, Otacon was waking up in a room he only vaguely recognized. His voice was the only thing heard at first, sounding as if the Pokegear was a short distance away.]
Where--...? Oh, no. That's not good. I'm piloting a helicopter and I'm dreaming, that can't be a good thing. Wake up, I need to wake up or I'm going to crash right into Haven, it'd really be stupid to die now.
Phaaaa. [The concerned bleating of an Ampharos was much closer to the Gear than Otacon's voice--he was the one that had turned it on, most likely. The silence that followed was almost tangibly stunned.]
A...Asimov...? No way. This--that was just a dream. It still is, because this kind of thing doesn't just happen! Think of how many laws of physics a place like this would break, it's...it's not possible. I'm still in the Kasatka. I can't...
[Another pause. There was the shuffling sound of someone taking the Pokegear, and then a familiar yet somewhat older face in an unfamiliar turtleneck and trenchcoat appeared onscreen.]
...This really happened, didn't it? I thought--I thought it was just some dream I had. That I was going crazy or something. But it's too lucid to be anything like that, isn't it?
Is anyone else still here? How long has it been? And does anyone know if this place is even real?

Mechanical engineering.
...
Don;t think I heard your name, by the way.
[video]
Captain Asuka Shikinami Langley. [ It spills out easily and almost uniformed unlike the rest of her words during this conversation.
Also enjoy that name being different. ]
[video] 1/4
[video]
[video]
[video]
[video] 1/4 no one out comment spams me
Because he's a doctor, kinda smart, and tolerable of her attitude. ]
[video] no i lied on the 1/4 part i'll figure something out
Totally this now. ]
[video] cause it's past three am and i'm sleep deprived
Notice how this one is slightly less crazy? ]
[video] i'm nowhere near done so just kinda sit back and chill
[video]
[video]
Yes Shikinami. I didn't stutter, now did I?
[video] GUESS I'M DONE... for now
Remember bro, she's from Evangelion. Proceed with some caution if you value your limbs and brain. ]
For a doctor you sure display a lot of things that would make anyone uncomfortable. Rude, can't listen properly, those kind of things.
[ A pause. ]
Are you some kind of loser that just sits at his computer all the time?
[video] taking things seriously is for losers.
[Fact: Otacon never got a chance to watch Rebuild, being a wanted criminal running all over the place and all. He was not pleased.]
And no, I'm not. [You lying liar that lies, you.]
[video] you know you want your intro post covered in my gif collection
[ 8luh 8luh isn't it sad etc ]
You're not? Then where are your people skills?
[ HI ASUKA IS ONE TO TALK........................ ]
[video] damn right i do
[WHERE IS THE JUSTICE HERE, MAN. Otacon may be an idiot with proverbs, but even he knows basic logic when he sees it.]
[video] suddenly tsunderes are fun
[ But he didn't, so it's totes his loss now. Brushing dat dirt off her shoulder.. ]
So what's so surprising about Shikinami?
[video] >implying it wasn't already
[WHY DID THEY CHANGE YOUR NAME ASUKAAAAAAA]
[video] they are never fun what are you talking about
[ So she can match Ayanami and Makinami DUH!!! ]

Well, it's just a stupid name. Why are we even discussing it? I want to go back to seeing if you're intelligent enough to talk to regularly.
