You glare. They go away, a bit surprised. It wasn't funny. Mayumi smiles at you.

"So, want to go to the boardwalk?" she asks.


Accept!
Say no. you want to do some make-up training after you and Rei didn't train at all this week.
Say no, you're tired.
Say no, and make up some excuse.



PHASE ONE OF FIVE COMPLETE

This was the longest phase, at 23 days instead of the 20 of the next two, or the 19 of the final phases. This phase functioned primarily as a tutorial, introducing most concepts except the purely optional/avoidable ones (doing work for Nerv; character death). There are a couple of new items that will be discussed at the end of this assessment.

Relationships: Your relationship values fluctuate. One day, you're buddy-buddy with someone, the next you've blown them up and made out with someone else despite telling the first person you weren't interested. It's pretty chaotic.

Insight into Relationships: You've yet to experience this category. As of yet, for example, you have no clue why Rei and Asuka are so overly hostile to each other (more so than in series, excepting 22). Developing higher relationship scores would help you here.

School: You've been a mostly good student, although having missed those last few days, you're probably gonna have to work extra-hard to keep up. Henceforth, however, school is an entirely skippable scenario.

Work: You participated in no work for Nerv. This isn't a problem, but finding out Nerv's secrets can't be done by just going to school, piloting, and hanging out with people.

Piloting: Your synch ratio is improving, that's for sure. Unfortunately, your competence comes and goes, which has caused many issues.

Deaths: None, but this is because I pussied out during Jet Alone. Try to keep it this way.

Overall Decision Making: Really, I think I can summarize this up pretty well with one scenario. Toji and Kensuke propose you kiss Asuka. Despite there being two other choices; both of which making it clear that this is a moronic decision, you opt to kiss her. SPOILERS on Toji/Kensuke motivations:

SPOILER: Show
They never actually thought you would kiss Asuka, and even if they had, considering that you were clearly the boy she preferred the most, they wouldn't have thought it would have been such a big a deal as it ended up being


Phase Two Changes: First off, the kid gloves are off. Misato lived. Rei didn't, but that was okay because she's clonable. Henceforth, excepting Rei, death is the consequence of failure.

As mentioned above, school is entirely skippable. I will note when end of day is coming up and give you the option to go, or not to go. Of course, your classmates are all in school, generally, so this is really something that you should consider when you want to interact with adults.

Finally, relationships have become a bit more complicated. Thus far, I've been gentle, and the characters forgiving. However, you've caused enough complications that few of them are going to assume "Oh it was just a misunderstanding" now that you've had so many misunderstandings. Add in the fact that lying and deceiving have received additional complications (I won't elaborate here, and suggest that you avoid giving me reason to), and you're going to have to tread carefully.

Final Analysis: Poor. You guys have made some shitty decisions every now and again (waving at Shamshel? really?), and Shinji's relationship scores are pretty low compared to what they could be. Making intelligent decisions and focusing on building relationships that won't lead to conflict may help you improve.


LET PHASE TWO COMMENCE

You learned your lesson, no stringing along; if you are already in tenuous good terms with Rei and Asuka, there's no need to add another variable. Keep Mayumi as a friend for the moment, but no romantic overtures.

Sorry, duty calls.

Thursday is a training day (wouldn't want to make Rei upset by skipping, assuming she even remembers that deal), so we must sadly turn Mayumi down. Tomorrow or Saturday night is an option, however, and we shouldn't leave her hanging for too long. We got off pretty easy so far with her, and she's done nothing at all to deserve being dumped.

As to the "we must choose now!" mentality, why should we commit at this stage to to any of them? We should continue trying to get to know people better whenever possible, but it's way too early to be making any mission statements.

Realistically I'd agree, but we don't seem to be doing too well with juggling them all as potential choices in this, as Legendary pointed out in his big status post on the previous page.

I admit to having possibly been responsible for effing up the game with the harem thing, (read too many fanfics, I guess :redface: ) IMHO what we really NEED to do is work on increasing our RELATIONSHIP INSIGHT with an if not ALL of our choices. We need to get a clear look and view of where we stand so we can make an informed and wise choice on who we want to date. frankly we could do this by picking either choice here, but it will depend on our choices we make after that. Also we should probably try at the very least to spend more time with the stooges. Reallisticly thinking here, Asuka or teh Rei would most likely be one of our best choices, without getting to the "oh shut up your just shipping" territory.

"I'm sorry," you say. "Ayanami and I have to train since we've both been out for so long. Maybe another time?"

She looks disappointed, but nods. "I understand," she says. "Good luck, Ikari-kun." She sits down and eats lunch with you.

***

Training with Rei goes by well, and when that's finished (relatively quickly as Eva-00 is still a bit damaged and Rei can't stand being in there so long), you can pretty much go anywhere; talk with anyone.


Where to?

Except maybe some insight on how to be a better pilot, IMO.

Right now you need a friend in Nerv besides Misato; go look for Kaji.

She may be a bitch but she doesn't hate Shinji, she hates that Gendo put other womans(read: Yui, Rei) before her, and in the end she projected that hate in the only Ikari she could hurt(read: Shinji), we can make her less resentful and save our asses if we talk to her from time to time, and she's the head of the Project E there's a lot we can gain talking to her.
