[brought_it_back]

(Mood music here)

[After the mission in Alaska, Eva can be seen wandering the hallways of the base, clutching her head with one hand. There was her headache earlier, and something went...wrong, with the summoning of the Albatross.]

Ugh...

[She leans up against a wall for support-and glances over her shoulder suddenly.]

What...

[Seeing nothing, Eva goes back to leaning against the wall-then takes her hand off and stares at it. She keeps looking at it for a while, before falling to her knees, closing her eyes and covering her ears.]

Stop...

[She sits there, shaking like a leaf.]

Comments

[jianai]

Hello? Eva?

[Ren waves their hand to get Eva's attention, while looking seriously concerned.]

What's wrong? Do you feel bad?

[brought_it_back]

[She looks up, her hands dropping from her ears.]

Ren...

...I need a gun.

[jianai]

Why? What good could come from it?

[brought_it_back]

They're...she's coming for me. I need to keep her away!

...I need to kill her.

[jianai]

Who is "she"?

[Ren turns around, looking in all directions curiously.]

No one's coming.

[brought_it_back]

[Eva looks around...then visibly relaxes.]

...No...

...but they were here.

[gold_four]

[Ataru was just coming back from tine tuning some equipment, when...]

H-Hey, are you okay over there?

[brought_it_back]

N-no...I need a weapon.

[gold_four]

...Eh? Why?

[Ataru's heard rumours, but maybe it'll turn out to be nothing...?]

[brought_it_back]

Why...Isn't it obvious?!

[gold_four]

...No...?

[Ataru is on edge here, trying to see if he remembers anything on takedowns... dammit, being a sniper didn't help sometimes.]

[a_louse]

...Should I call a doctor?

[brought_it_back]

No...

...Do you have a towel?

[a_louse]

No, but I will in a second. Hang in there.

[Roger disappears, and returns with a towel almost as suddenly. Also with a bucket, for some reason.]

Here. Do you feel sick?

[brought_it_back]

No...

[She takes the towel and starts wiping her hands down.]

Someone will need to clean up the wall, though.

[a_louse]

Well, the bucket might come in handy then, even if I brought it for another purpose...

[Roger doesn't intend to do the cleaning himself, of course. In any case, he looks at the wall and pauses.]

...It's not dirty. At least I can't see any dirt.

[brought_it_back]

Dirt...?

No; it's covered in blood. Quite a bit of it.

...Even if you can't see very well today, you should be able to smell it.

[itbelongsinamuseum]

What's wrong...Do you need something? Some medicine for example?

[brought_it_back]

I'm fine...

...But we're all in a lot of danger. I need a weapon!

[itbelongsinamuseum]

No, you're not. And I don't have any weapons to give you.

[brought_it_back]

Then I'll find a weapon on my own. Go raise the alarm!

[And off Eva runs!]

[itbelongsinamuseum]

[Okay, this was bad...

Rushing after Eva, Alex called out to her.]

Hey, stop for a second. What are you even preparing to fight?

[ugyuuya]

[Seeing Eva shaking Stella turns down the corridor and moves quickly to her side hitting an emergency call button on the way.]

Eva are you alright? Can you talk to me?

[Stella quickly begins checking the pilot for any signs of injury while waiting for a reply.]

[brought_it_back]

[Eva sort of halfheartedly bats Stella away.]

...I'm fine...

[Eva's breath is ragged and hurried; she's sweating too, like she just got done running. Her eyes are focused at something off in the distance, far down the hallway.]

...Give me your weapon.

[ugyuuya]

[Stella turns to look down the hallway as she follows Eva's line of sight.]

What is it? I don't see anything and we don't carry firearms during regular duty, only when an alert is raised, during training, or while we pilot.

[As she continues to watch the emptiness as she sits with Eva and waits for the emergency responders as more members of her flight approach to watch the situation.]
