1.0 | You can(not) intro [Accidental Voice/Video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

[Instead of doing the smart thing and asking for information first on Vine, Asuka decides to explore around herself. Her journey brings her to the Arcade. Surely, she figures that she could get a connection to NERV and they would send a private plane to bring back home.

... The "getting connection" part isn't going very well. Painfully described as we hear Asuka kicking against one of the game machines.]

--This is so stupid! Don't tell me that technology around here is useless too! [And she finally notices the Vine is on.]

... Oh, how long has this thing been on? Well, whatever! The Queen or whoever is behind this is going to have to answer to me. If this really is a network, then some information behind this place would be... appreciated. But if it's not any help, then I'm cutting you off.

Are you supposed to be famous?

I am Yukari Yakumo. Are you from Japan?

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

Of course I'm famous! As an Evangelion pilot, I'm very well known.

That's where I was staying until I ended up here.

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Not where I am, clearly. But a pleasure to meet you Miss Shikinami. [Evangelion. Hmm.]

Now you said you wanted information. Let me ask you: Where on Earth do you think this place is?

[video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

Huh...? Aren't you supposed to tell me that?

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

If I told you right now, you would likely scoff, announce I'm lying, and close the connection like you said earlier.

Then I would probably contact you again when you figured it out for yourself and mock chastise you for not listening.

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

... [That's extremely true.] Fine. So you want me to figure things out for myself and then ask you to see if I'm right?

[She's a good judge of character/willingness to tolerate weirdness] I'm willing to guide you along.

This is obviously a garden, right? We're nowhere near Japan, Germany, America or anything like that?

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Quite so. In fact, it is no country on Earth.

[video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

Then what country is this called?

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

You assume it is technically a country to begin with. But it's called "the Gardens".

[video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

[Sighs loudly.] Then you're trying to say that this isn't a country at all.

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

No it's not. You're getting closer.

[video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

This isn't anywhere in the real world.

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Correction, it's not anywhere in your world.

---WHAAT?!

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

I do hope this isn't when you decide to stop talking to me.

[video]

[likeabossuka.livejournal.com]

... [It's extremely tempting, but she decides not to.] How much more do you know?

[video]

[border-phantasm.livejournal.com]

Quite a bit.
