Mini-Rei is pissed

[ayanami-1-blog]

// am I up on the rp?? I didn't think I was but i'm confused now, sorry to bother you.

its @nagisa-kaworu‘s turn i think lol

[ayanami-1-blog]

Memories are little more than film reel decayed and degraded. The present is the only time period known to little Rei. Here and now is the average Rei clone’s existence. Tomorrow she may not be the same Rei.

The child shakes her head. Not her. Not now. Never.

She is the original.

Kaworu-sama’s simplicity astounds even her sometimes. Death and dullness are one and the same.

“No,” she answers with a shrug. “I don’t remember anything but the electric storms and what the you from that time said to me and I don’t wanna be that person. I wanna be big. Then I can buy all the Liccas I want. That big sister was gonna help me but she wandered away so now I hafta do it.” She rolls her eyes. If she doesn’t go out to get her doll fix, who will?

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

Soryu... I'd like to introduce you to Rei Ayanami the First *nudges forward ayanami-1*

“oh a tiny Wonder Girl how amazing…. don’t you have other things to do Fifth Child? Is she supposed to be cute? she is but still..”

[ayanami-1-blog]

How easily does a child’s interest fade. Amusement is not found in phone conversations. Rei has been present at more than one U.N. meeting. Old people talk is talk of the worst kind. Big boy and big girl talk is not too far behind.

The longer Rei waits, the quicker the doubt sets in. Her cake is amazing, extraordinary; fantastic, even.

It could be better.

She glances between Hagley and Kaworu-sama. One is less given to distraction than the other.

Little Rei clears her throat. “You know,” she chimes in, “you hafta wonder about those Shinjis. Right?”

[ayanami-1-blog]

What? This oneesama must be hard of skull, too. Little else can explain the refusal to obey an order. The oneesamas love orders because they cannot think for themselves. From this day on, this elder sister will be known as Brokenami.

“I want you to get it,” Rei snaps.

A third and fourth pin sink into the miniature effigy’s tummy. Commander has not been around.

“I want a Licca Grand Dream House. I don’t care about logicalistics. I want it and I want it now.”

[ayanamitype]

     Little Rei will not be dissuaded. Ayanami has to stifle a sigh. Mustn’t be a bad influence on her younger self- for whatever good it’ll do (or not). She turns away, heading for the nearest set of consoles. “Alright,” she relents. “I will get it.” 

     Little Rei says logistics be damned. Ayanami can’t help but agree as she powers up the screens. She’ll just… find where it is. And charge it to the Commander’s account, under ‘Necessary Personnel Equipment’. While she’s at it, she might as well nail all the birds with one stone. “Is there anything else you require?” 

[ayanami-1-blog]

Little Rei physically staggers backward. She has not expected to get this far. Her tiny mind struggles to compute this turn of events. She may never do so again. Out of greed and childish zeal, she chooses to go the whole hog.

“I want Hair Color Change Licca and I want Cute Curls Maria and I want Bicycle Licca and I want Prince Ren and I want the pink one-piece dress and I want the Cute Licca gift set and I want Beauty Haircut Alice and I want the dressing room and the makeup salon and-- “

Like a baby monkey Rei-I hangs off the elder clone’s arm. Best oneesama ever.

“And I want to pick it all out at the store.” Big Rei is out of her gourd if she thinks her miniature counterpart is staying inside. “Let’s get the Commander’s old toadie to drive us.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Kaworu-sama is such a prince, taking her wish seriously. The clone girl would be worried if there were not a pang of jealousy felt toward dumb ol’ Ikari. She her desire to be treated as a grown entity overpowers her willingness to correct him. Her wish is more literal than Kaworu-sama realizes. She wishes to grow up and up, to a point where she towers over the whole wide world.

That will show Hagley and dumb ol’ Ikari. She’ll squash ‘em flat.

“NERV is boring,” she complains, stomping one tiny foot. “They don’t let me do nothing.”

If she gets big, she can stomp that pyramid, too.

“But if I get the Fruit,” Rei-I suggests, smiling her brightest, cutest smile, “I can be happy.”

“Brightest” and “cutest” are a tad subjective.

small rei.

“Make them fight in a puppy tournament. The victor gets taken home.”

free kaworu from rei hell.

        “i’m pretty sure that’s illegal.” that’s definitely illegal. “i’d rather not be on the next episode of… animal cops… or whatever it is.”

        save him.

[ayanami-1-blog]

the revelation gives rise to a chant.

“do those exist? let’s do it! an - im - al cops! an - im - al cops! an - im - al cops! an -”

congrats. now you got her going.

[shugousha-blog]

        “i didn’t think finding a litter of puppies on the side of the road happened outside of movies… does anyone here like dogs? please say yes. i can’t take care of seven of them at once. and the cat’s getting pissed.”

        free him from this fluffy, adorable hell.

Soryu... I'd like to introduce you to Rei Ayanami the First *nudges forward ayanami-1*

“oh a tiny Wonder Girl how amazing…. don’t you have other things to do Fifth Child? Is she supposed to be cute? she is but still..”

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

“Very well then, both of our Shinji-juns. I trust you can get in contact with yours, Soryu?”

He can get in contact with his own, of course, as soon as he no longer has a little girl dangling off his not-so-free arm. Sending an invitation via phone is far more decorous than a psychic mind shout, after all.

He turns back at the insistent tug at his sleeve. “You’re right,” he says as he turns the yank into a pat upon Ayanami Rei’s shoulder. “A third judge would be best to avoid any ties.” Alas, his attention doesn’t linger long in this scenario. “Do you agree, Soryu? And if so, which Ayanami Rei shall we ask?”

“One of yours…” His words are directed to both of the impromptu contestants. “Or perhaps one I know?”

God help them all if he gets an Ayanami Rei that he knows to judge.

A Rei Ayanami she knows? Not the one from her world, she just knew there would be some sort of vendetta there for the amount of times she had been called a doll..best go for one she herself hadn’t been around much. but a tired Jury does nothing for her or against her.. and she could trust her Shinji to at least judge fairly.. hmmm a Rei picked by that Rei like toddler would have to be a fan.. so that was a NO.

“I can get in touch with MY baka Shinji super easily, but to keep things fair I say you should pick the final Judge Fifth i want to win fair so imitation Wonder Girl can’t have any real complaints.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Whichever oneesama is picked, Rei-I is a shoe-in. Very simply, Hagley is jealous. She is the type to be. The young clone shrugs, sticks her tongue out at Second Best and pirouettes away toward the oven. “Don’t care,” she sings while leaping on her tippy toes. She don’t care for Kaworu-sama’s interest in that phone, either.

On feather-light feet, she lands. Rei-I squats down in front of the oven and leans in until her button nose is squashed up against the glass. “You could pick the meanest oneesama,” she brags, “and I wouldn’t give one fig.”

Her cake is good and she knows it.

[ayanami-1-blog]

An old soul bearing a youthful heart, Ayanami‘s mind serves as the battleground on which emotions lay waste to one another. She frowns, then reveals a ghost of a smile, then grimaces, then hums a tune to a favorite cartoon show, then pouts, then fiddles with her teddy bear necklace, then at last shrugs.

“I dunno.”

When all else fails–

“I have money.”

[nagisa-kaworu]

His own expression betrays nothing as he watches the cascade of emotions that his words have brought forth. Patiently he waits. Waits and… blinks in surprise at the final offer.

…bribe?

….dowry?

“I’ve never been in want of money,” he says. Another more conscientious participant would perhaps have balked at exact why finances had never been a problem to such as he, but in the end lilim legislation had only been a passing amusement to him.

“If you don’t know, then shall we try it? Friendship and comradeship, that is,” he quickly clarifies lest he somehow find himself in a bigamist relationship.

“Besides cake, what is it that you would most like to achieve in this world? What is it you’d want to experience?”

[ayanami-1-blog]

All throughout Kaworu-sama’s soliloquy, girl Rei blinks up at him. This non-compliance clashes with her little girl logic and ideas on the workings of the world. The commander always indulges her.

If not money, cuteness will win his heart.

“I have a gachapon,” Rei replies. The minuscule capsule is fished out of her pocket and pressed into his hands. “It’s really rare,” she adds, as if to impress him.”

Other than cake and toys, there is nothing else Rei-I takes joy in. Her baby pouty lips purse in thought. Usually she has the old grey-haired one do the thinking for her.

She thinks of the best method of drenching her soft voice in syrupy sweetness. She ponders the best angle at which to tilt her head. She draws from her album of mental screenshots that she has snapped throughout her short life, stills depicting all manner of “cuteness.” All things that could ensure victory are studied and reviewed.

The thing that pops out of her mouth is an honest to Lilith, “I want to grow up.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Is this oneesama hard of hearing or what? Rei-I dislikes repeating herself almost as much as she dislikes repeats of herself.

“I want a Licca Grand Dream House,” repeats Little Rei.

She sticks another pin in her current favorite toy; a small brown-haired, blue button-eyed figure sewn together from rags.

“Should I run that by you again?”

[ayanamitype]

     Little Rei’s repetition brings Ayanami no closer to understanding her demand. The whys and whats can probably be answered by a quick search in NERV’s database, but that doesn’t explain her desire for this very specific house. There’s also the problem of money- NERV doesn’t pay its pilots, so Ayanami can’t buy the house even if she finds it. “There are some logistic problems with that,” she says. Her younger self is smart enough to figure what they are, right? “Why not ask Commander Ikari for it?”

[ayanami-1-blog]

What? This oneesama must be hard of skull, too. Little else can explain the refusal to obey an order. The oneesamas love orders because they cannot think for themselves. From this day on, this elder sister will be known as Brokenami.

“I want you to get it,” Rei snaps.

A third and fourth pin sink into the miniature effigy’s tummy. Commander has not been around.

“I want a Licca Grand Dream House. I don’t care about logicalistics. I want it and I want it now.”

[nagisa-kaworu]

“Very well then…”He takes the little hand in his. At his acquiescence, a nearby phone floats up to do his bidding. The contacts list flickers open before his eyes. 

“Let me send ahead advance warning to make certain she is available.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Little Rei can barely hold on to Kaworu-sama’s hand, her energy is so great. She paces around the older boy. Five or six times she almost succeeds in twisting off his arm.

The call takes too long. She has a life to live! In particular, she wants to spend as much time as possible outside of that basement.

“Take me to the playground if she can’t come. I’m not gonna waste my time standing around for some girl who only comes in second.” The little girl puts her hands on her hips. Time is dolls and candy she could be enjoying.

[nagisa-kaworu]

With a flick his phone clicks shut. “There we are then. Let’s be off. Perhaps all three of us can go to the playground together. Although…”

In the end, all he hopes for are a lack of fireworks.

“I wouldn’t mention coming in second to Soryu. She’s very competitive.”

Off to Soryu.

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

Soryu... I'd like to introduce you to Rei Ayanami the First *nudges forward ayanami-1*

“oh a tiny Wonder Girl how amazing…. don’t you have other things to do Fifth Child? Is she supposed to be cute? she is but still..”

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

The amount of arrogance per kilogram on this little imitation rei ayanami must off the charts to keep this up. And to keep this up and still not have any better insults. She must be a total idiot. Losing to her would be like have a sync ratio lower than Suzuhara. The issue is her sync ratio isn’t in doubt, cooking anything by herself is. 

“You’re lucky I play by the rules. One call to baka Shinji and you’ll lose by so much you’ll be asking for cookbooks for your next three birthdays. Verstehen?” 

She looks over Kaworu.. playing with his phone.. what was he thinking about? 

[ayanami-1-blog]

Little Rei pouts at her idol’s total disregard of the spat happening under his nose. Kaworu-sama interests should be in the contest, not his phone or the person at the end of the line. No one should be that invested in an electronic when she is present.

The redhead receive the brunt of little Rei’s venom. “Oh, I forgot. We need a team of unbiased judges. Thanks for reminding me.”

The small clone skips back over to Kaworu-sama and she tugs on his sleeve. “If you get Ikari on the panel,” she whispers, “I promise to not use the voodoo doll in front of him.”

[nagisa-kaworu]

His attention is finally diverted from the messages upon his screen. He tests the atmosphere. It feels no lighter than before. “That begs the question of why you have a Shinji-kun voodoo doll in the first place, Ayanami Rei,” he says as he lightly leaps down from the counter top upon which he’d been sitting.

He’d be more inclined to worry if voodoo magic actually worked in most of the worlds he traveled. Still… this is Lilith’s incarnation. Best to keep an eye out.

“Soryu…” he calls the flame-haired girl. “Would your Shinji-kun count as an impartial judge? Or shall we use mine instead? Or both, perhaps?”

From his own point-of-view there could not be too many Ikari Shinji. Yet he still must if the Third Child would act as a buffer between the two squabbling girls or simply add more fuel to the fire.

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

“well.” there was a problem.. as much as she didn’t like it Shinji would certainly be an impartial if Kaworu was involved. No he would be impartial no matter who was involved in because that’s how he was.. so… but she didn’t like the idea of imitation wonder girl knowing that so she needed to play this out right. Some scare should do her wonders.

“One Judge would lame, so it’s easy we get both of them, baka Shinji is the best cook out of all of us so he would be the most qualified.” 

[ayanami-1-blog]

The small girl taps her foot, as loudly and as quickly as a rabbit’s thumping hind leg. She’s still here. No one gets to ignore her. It’s not done. She tugs thrice as hard on Kaworu-sama’s sleeve.

“I think,” she declares, “we need three judges. Get an oneesama on the panel who doesn’t know me. She’ll do a good job.”

That’s what they’ll think. They are fooled by her quiet demeanor and mild manners. Rei Ayanami is still Rei Ayanami. There is a kinship among them. She will want to reward a clone of hers with the prize.

Rei-I rubs her hands. She will stack the panel yet.

[ayanami-1-blog]

An old soul bearing a youthful heart, Ayanami‘s mind serves as the battleground on which emotions lay waste to one another. She frowns, then reveals a ghost of a smile, then grimaces, then hums a tune to a favorite cartoon show, then pouts, then fiddles with her teddy bear necklace, then at last shrugs.

“I dunno.”

When all else fails--

“I have money.”

[nagisa-kaworu]

“Thank you, Ayanani Rei.”

He smiles as his gift is taken in hand. It seems he had guessed the correct occasion. Or at least his guess had fallen within acceptable parameters. And so lightly the little girl’s gift is taken in hand, the box lid flicked gently open.

This looks… expensive… for such a child’s gift. Not a crackerjack ring as he had half expected, and had received before. Did the First have access to the same sort funds through NERV that he did through SEELE? Yet questioning it, however, would certainly count as a faux pas. 

“It’s lovely. You have good taste.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Little Rei stares at him until Kaworu-sama must feel the red-hot heat generated from her eyes. This is not the reaction that she has been expecting.

“Well?” she demands. “Aren’t you gonna wear it?  What’s your answer?”

A pout the width of her head sits on her face. The little girl crosses her arms and exhales. She is not leaving until she has an answer.

[nagisa-kaworu]

Crimson eyes shift carefully between the ringbox held within his hand, the stance of the little girl before him, and the sour look upon her face. He’s long weathered a storm of glares cast towards him, and so his own expression shifts not one whit from its serenity.

The gift of a ring brings one thing most prominently to mind. After all, he wears his own wedding band underneath his glove. Of course, it doesn’t always necessarily mean that. He has given away plenty enough rings in friendship, himself.

Of course, he’s not precisely the epitome of lilim customs. Yet neither is this girl before him.

Gracefully he drops to one knee in front of Ayanami Rei, one gloved hand reaching forward to lightly rest upon her shoulder.

“I suppose the answer depends upon exactly what the question is.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Kaworu-sama is the most princely dunce Rei-I has met. The fairy tales have all lied to her. The commander and hag will be hearing from her.

This is not rocket science. The imagery is too established in lilim society for Kaworu-sama to claim ignorance. A ring offered on one knee can signify but one thing.

“Get an annulment,” she demands. “Marry me. You can get me anything I want and fed me cakes for the rest of my life.”

Ah, yes. No one could refuse such an attractive offer.

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

Soryu... I'd like to introduce you to Rei Ayanami the First *nudges forward ayanami-1*

“oh a tiny Wonder Girl how amazing…. don’t you have other things to do Fifth Child? Is she supposed to be cute? she is but still..”

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

People should give her credit. She isn’t the best for nothing. if she wants something she doesn’t give up easily, and if she wants too she can focus intently onto whatever she wants. And right now she wants to trash Rei I in a cooking contest and that means cooking like crazy.. so she isn’t paying enough attention to be dissed by Rei’s bump..

“Danke, fifth child I’ve got exactly what I need for this.” She says at last taking her requested ingredients.. with a twist she pours a large amount of vanilla into her batter followed by a large scoop of cream cheese. She’ll use that for the frosting too mixed with some chocolate.  and after all that is done.. now she can gloat.

“now. I get to wait to win until you finish cooking huh, mini wonder girl? well i guess that’s a price I can pay too see this though. I guess i should compliment you, normal wonder girl isn’t even confident enough to try and fight me.”

[ayanami-1-blog]

Asuka tries, Rei will give her that. But Rei? She tries harder. She has fought to walk around under the sun and swim in the oceans and bake cakes. Asuka is oblivious to the fine quality of her life. Rei will show everyone. The red girl will not best her. Perhaps the other Reis were bested easily.

She is different.

She would be lying is she said she felt bad for Asuka’s upcoming defeat but the bigger the ego, the harder their fall. Asuka could do with a slice of humble pie.

The ganache comes last. Easy. Rei-I melts the butter and chops up the baking chocolate, then waits for it to melt. Now she has a bit of time for taunts.

“Hagley,” she calls to the redhead, “d’ya need some pointers?”

[nagisa-kaworu]

The sharp aura of competition electrifies the room. Or at least he hopes that’s merely the spirit of competition and not some malfunction with a kitchen appliance. He suspects that his presence would somehow be blamed for any fires.

The tense atmosphere of combat does not lift. Words even sharper than the knives they wield fill the air.

Meanwhile he sits upon a nearby counter, uncluttered by the mass of as yet unwashed cooking utensils and dishes, and nonchalantly texts on his NERV branded smart phone.  

It’s Shinji, of course.

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

The amount of arrogance per kilogram on this little imitation rei ayanami must off the charts to keep this up. And to keep this up and still not have any better insults. She must be a total idiot.

[ask-asuka-x-shinji]

By the time he has opened the refrigerator door upon Soryu’s request, the cream cheese and vanilla extract have already come floating forward obediently to his hand. Wait… why was the vanilla extract in the fridge to begin with?

He gives a shrug and carries the ingredients – by hand as lilim do – over to the counter next to the frantically stirring redhead. In doing so, he pauses to make certain that the stepladder underneath the little girl does not waver. And so, he is within far too close a range when the taste request comes.

Vague warnings float through his head regarding the dangers of eating raw cake batter with its uncooked eggs.

Oh well. It’s not as if such a thing could harm him.

He dips his head and takes a delicate taste from the proffered spoon. He does not immediately spontaneously conbust, which is a good thing.

”Mmm… it’s good and sweet, as is suitable for a cake.” He gives a wink. “Now let’s see how it tastes cooked, hmm?”

People should give her credit. She isn’t the best for nothing. if she wants something she doesn’t give up easily, and if she wants too she can focus intently onto whatever she wants. And right now she wants to trash Rei I in a cooking contest and that means cooking like crazy.. so she isn’t paying enough attention to be dissed by Rei’s bump..
