Somewhere else.

Ne. Community. I could....well, use some time away from my world. I have a weekend, and, well...I'd really like to be as far away from here as possible. There are so many things to think out. I don't care where I go or how I get there, or even if there are people waiting for me, but...

...anywhere but here would be nice.

...Are you okay..?

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

I think it's been a while since I've even thought about being okay.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

...I see. W-well,...maybe you can find someone that can..world..hop you or ..something. I wouldn't suggest my world-it's...not any better.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Ah? What's your world? You wouldn't be from another variation of Japan, would you? It's just, your name...well, it sounds Japanese.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Um..yeah. I'm from Japan. The year here is,uh..2015.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Hunh. Here, in Area 11--my Japan--it's 2017. Perhaps they're more similar than you think.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

..Yeah..maybe.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

If that's the case...I'm sorry. Maybe you could use a vacation, too.

...Do you have any experience with this 'worldhopping' thing?

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

As..much as I would like a vacation,--I can't. I..need to stay here.

Well, someone came by and gave me lots of sweet earlier today....

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

I have responsibilities I should stay with as well. I'm the only one that can pilot Lancelot, and if the Black Knights attack...

...Lloyd-san says I should go, though. He says it's not healthy if I brood all the time. I wonder why he's always smiling.

So...a world-hopper brought you sweets? That's a very nice thing to do.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

..You're a..pilot too? What's Lancelot? I-If you don't mind me asking.

Yeah, they thought that maybe if they give me sweets, I'll..cheer up.

[defective-heir.livejournal.com]

Is there something bothering you?

...

O-oh, I'm sorry, that was kinda a stupid question. [*blushes*]

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

A-ah, Lancelot is my Knightmare Frame. A large combat-based mecha. You're a pilot as well??

And, well...if it were me, it's not so much the sweets that would cheer me up, but the fact that a stranger was kind enough to do such a thing. It's...nice to know such people still exist.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

No, no, it's not a stupid question. My world is just very...busy right now, and one could say I'm being forced to take a vacation.
It's either this, or Lloyd-san takes Lancelot and has me thrown in the brig for a few days ._.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Yeah,...I pilot Eva. I guess it's almost like your Lancelot. It's a combat mecha too. I should...find a picture and let you see.


It didn't really cheer me up but,...I did feel better than before. And yeah,...it is nice to know.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see your Eva. There are a couple other pilots I've stumbled across here on this community, but none so close to my own time and world.
Here's a picture of Lancelot:

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Wow, it almost looks like an Eva. Here's my Unit 01:

[earlpurin.livejournal.com]

Will you be returning soon, Suzaku~?

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Sugoi...they do look very similar.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah--they do. In my world, um, we have to...fight these...things called Angels.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

L-Lloyd-san! Ah, of course. I may not be going anywhere. I don't feel right leaving things the way they are...

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Things? Are they not...human?

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

I'm..not sure what they are exactly. I just..know they're creatures that I have to defeat..

[earlpurin.livejournal.com]

Very well then.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Creatures...at least they aren't...people.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

That's...one good thing. Do,..you have to defeat people where you are?

[defective-heir.livejournal.com]

Forced to take a vacation? Wow. There must be high stress levels, or something...

[and-dont-blink.livejournal.com]

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Yes. There's...kind of a civil war going on. More people are dying every day. I'm trying to stop it, but...there's only so much one soldier can do, you know?

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

Ah, you could say that. There's a lot at stake here.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Yeah. People..get hurt every day here too..

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I can have faith in a world where innocent people die for nothing. But...there's always some hope, ne? A chance that things get better? There has to be, otherwise...why do we fight?

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Exactly. There's a light at the end of every tunnel. Unless,...what I've been told.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

What you've been told?

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Yeah,..I was told that something good always happens..in the end. No matter..how hard you may think..there won't be.

[whiteknight7.livejournal.com]

...I like that. Thank you, Shinji-san. I feel much better. And...after this war is over. Would you...maybe...want to visit my Japan? Just an idea.

[shinji-eva.livejournal.com]

Really..? I-I would like that a lot!
