Rei frowned imperceptibly at the Second Child from her position in front of her locker. Of course, the usual stoic gesture was spoiled somewhat by the light flush that suffused her pale cheeks, a product of the ongoing frontal massage that she had been self-administering since waking up this morning.
"And will you stop touching yourself like that, Wonderslut! Scheisst! You're in public! I mean, mein Gott, have you no decency!?"
Rei's frown deepened ever so slightly as she turned to address the frothing Second Child. "I was not aware that I was incorrect in doing so, Second Child. However, if it is inappropriate, as you say, to touch myself in this manner in public, then I shall refrain from doing so in the future."
"Good!" Asuka snarled, glancing over at the other girl and flushing as she met her crimson-eyed gaze. After realizing that the other girl seemed fully intent on continuing to stare at her, Asuka finally wheeled around, placing her hands authoritatively on her hips. "What?!"
"I have a request," Rei replied calmly.
"Well," Asuka grumbled, her anger briefly abated by the prospect of the First Child owing her one. "What is it?"
"Touch me."
Asuka blinked.
Then she blinked again.
Then she blinked once more for good measure.
"WHAT?!?!"
Rei gazed upon her co-pilot much as one would when confronted with a particularly strange-looking bird before finally answering, "You have stated that it is inappropriate to touch myself in public. However, I am still in the process of assessing the nature of the tactile stimulation garnered by my recent growth. Therefore, I ask that you administer the examination in my stead."
"Y-y-you...!" Asuka spluttered, her mind momentarily derailed by the calmly-worded yet utterly-unbelievable request that had just been voiced by her coworker.
"Can you not fulfill my request?" Rei asked after a moment, cocking her head inquisitively.
Asuka huffed frantically, trying in vain to bring her thoughts into some sort of coherency, desperately searching for some sort of answer. "Bu-but..." Asuka floundered, "We-we're both girls!" she protested lamely.
Rei nodded imperceptibly as she absorbed this information. "I see. Then it is inappropriate for girls to touch each other in public as well. Very well. I will go get Shinji to do it."
That brought Asuka out of her funk.
"Like HELL you will, Wondergirl!" Asuka raged, growling and snarling at the offending albino.
"Do you not think that Shinji will honor my request?" Rei questioned curiously.
"Are you kidding me, Wondergirl!" Asuka sniffed disdainfully, reigning herself in with some difficulty, "Baka wouldn't know what to do even if he could get his hands on a girl!"
"I see," Rei replied, turning unconcernedly back to her locker.
Asuka stared at the other girl in disbelief before finally turning her attention back to what had angered her in the first place. Well, the latest thing that had angered her at any rate. Reaching into her locker she extracted her plugsuit from the inside hanger, tracing over the florescent pink material with obvious distaste. When she got her hands on whoever was responsible for this, she'd make them pay!
"The plugsuits appear to have been modified as well," Rei noted.
A quick glance showed that the First Child had succeeded in extracting her own plugsuit, and that it, like hers, had undergone a significant change in design. Like her own, it was cut extremely high on the hips and while still skintight, Asuka noted that the other girl's plugsuit was most definitely NOT pink.
Oh yes, they'd definitely pay...
Grumbling and cursing under her breath, Asuka slowly clambered into the modified plugsuit, the multi-hued garment bearing more resemblance to a one-piece bikini than actual combat equipment. The dark pink bolero overcoat went on next, followed by the skin-tight thigh-high pink vinyl boots. Stripper boots aside, the jacket wasn't actually so bad, being seemingly patterned after Misato's own NERV-issued jacket, the stylish fit highlighting her shoulders and drawing attention to her breasts.
Not that they really needed help in that regard.
Briefly, Asuka wondered if this outfit would draw Kaji's attention, a thought which drew a momentary smile to her face. Smirking slightly, quickly turned towards the nearby wall mirror, catching her first glimpse of herself in her new suit.
...
Moments later, flocks of birds situated miles above suddenly erupted from their perches as an ear-piercing scream echoed throughout the Geofront.
