Re: An Insider's Look

Here's the next update, everyone. It took me a while and some rewrites to get it finished and, while I'm not 100% in love with it, I believe it's serviceable enough to keep the ball rolling. Kaworu will get one more update to shine after this and then we're likely going back to tieing things up on S...

Re: An Insider's Look

Here's the update I promised the last time. I'll also make certain that the next one doesn't require a multi-month waiting period. Enjoy! ^_^ Just as soon as he made it to Tokyo-3, Kaworu's feet carried him to the spot where he had first met him all that time ago, only to find it more or less in...

Re: An Insider's Look

When I last said that I was going to be busy, I didn't mean to leave this story sitting for close to a year. Sorry about that, but life has been busy. On brighter news, though, it is my intention to slowly begin to change all that again. I've settled in at a new job for the schoolyear and I should h...

Re: An Insider's Look

Hello everyone, happy new year! It's not much of an update, but here's a short little interlude before the end of 2021 (at least for me). Once again, sorry I haven't been able to update the story at all lately, but I simply don't currently have the time for it. I'm working full time this year and th...

Re: An Insider's Look

Here it is, the end of the chapter and full explanation of Mari's backstory. It turned out very monologue-y on Mari's part since I wanted to keep the spirit of the other flashback scenes, and I felt that was a necessary sacrifice in order to get everything I needed to out of the way in a timely mann...

Re: An Insider's Look

Sorry for the long wait, writer's block hit me hard on this one. I spent quite some time experimenting with how I wanted to tell the next months of the flashback, but everything I tried ended up becoming too bloated for the purposes of this chapter. Eventually, I took the scorched earth approach and...

Re: An Insider's Look

Here's another quick update. I want to try and finish the whole flashback chapter before I restart work in September, so let's see if the writing chops are on point for that deadline. For now, though, enjoy! ^_^ September 27th, 2000 That was the day I heard that Tokyo had been nuked. "Yeah… One...

Re: An Insider's Look

And so starts the flashback chapter. I don't want to spend too much time on this (Shinji is still waiting), but I have to explain some of Mari's backstory at some point. I tried to do a different narrative style for this part. Let me know what you guys think about it. ^_^ September 20th, 2000 She wa...

Re: An Insider's Look

Shortish update today. I had a bigger update to this same scene almost finished when I read it a few times to myself and decided to change gears with a better idea. This update will finish the current chapter and we will be taking a short (hopefully :um: ) trip down memory lane in the next one. Hope...

Re: An Insider's Look

It's been a while since the last update. I say we change that. ^_^ Maya Ibuki slowly awoke from a dreamless sleep. She rubbed at her eyelids, struggling to remember when she had succumbed to exhaustion and checked her watch, which read 3:37AM. The last time Maya had checked the time it had been near...

Re: An Insider's Look

I'm glad to read that you're enjoying the story! Mari's been definitely fun to write, she's a character with a lot of potential. It makes me a bit sad to see the bad rap she often gets, I think it's a bit unfair. Understandable (I used to be in that same camp a long time ago), but unfair. In any cas...

Re: An Insider's Look

Finally back with an update. This conversation took a lot of rethinking and redoing, but with some help I finally have something that I'm happy with, so I hope you guys like it. Next update starts production when I'm finished with the end of schoolyear admin tasks. Enjoy! ^_^ “I just want a word in ...

Re: An Insider's Look

Finally back. Like I said last time, blame Falcom for robbing me of so much of my time. ^_^ This update doesn't finish this scene in its entirety, but I wanted to take my time with the next conversation and make it as good as it can be. In the meantime, enjoy. Misato Katsuragi and Mari Makinami walk...

Re: An Insider's Look

Hello again, here's a bit of a short update this time, mainly meant to set up for the next few scenes. Scenes that are going to take a while to come out because I'm currently really busy with Trails of Cold Steel IV , and I expect to remain like that for some more... tens of hours of gameplay. ...I'...

Re: An Insider's Look

OMG you madlad. I thought that you got some auto correct messing with the text. But I don't believe that it would choose just specific names. And it happened it April 1st, what a coincidence! "squeaky anchor", "converted collier", "copied tin-can", "Ol' Lusty"...

Re: An Insider's Look

I put in some extra hours of writing to finish what was left of this chapter. Sorry to say that it's not a funny April Fool's update. But please enjoy, anyway! ^_^ “What’s… What’s going on?!” Shinji brought a hand to his stomach, from where strange tendrils had begun growing out of his abdomen. They...

Re: An Insider's Look

Actual update coming up this time, thanks to Akomis and all the others who pushed me back into writing. I hope you like and look forward to next week, where I should be ending the Armisael arc. Enjoy! ^_^ “…Huh? …What was that?” “What’s wrong, Asuka?” “…It’s nothing,” the redhead began to shake her ...

Re: An Insider's Look

“I know that we’ve unanimously decided on this and all that but…” Asuka’s eyes flicked from the ongoing combat preparations on the large screen to Ace’s focused expression as she oversaw those same tasks. The usually meek girl’s gaze then travelled further down her other’s arm, gulping hard to try ...

Re: An Insider's Look

“What about the N2 warheads? Do we still have terminal guidance for them?” Misato breathed out and crushed another empty cup of coffee, the traces of caffeine that had once resided in the plastic container doing little to help fan the flames of her working mind. The limit of what the fake substitut...
