Ritsuko the White Mage nodded and drew her white cloak with the red triangles around her. She was now in the alley behind NERV. Her abilities as a 1st level White Mage were mainly involved with spellcasting. Other than that, she had her abilities as a 17 year old Catgirl with the memories of Ritsuko Akagi. She could leap further and move faster than she could have as a human, roughly double in both cases. She was more sneaky, had better hearing, partially colorblind, and her sense of smell was more acute. Her musculature was more tight and she figured that she was slightly stronger as a Catgirl than she had been. She was also, she noticed with some satisfaction, more stacked than she had been at 17. Her nails were thicker and longer, though they weren't functional claws the way a warrior Catgirl might have.
Ritsuko next checked her equipment. Three (healing) Potions, an Antidote leaf, and a collapsible staff.
She needed somewhere to hide until nightfall at least. Where though? Ah! That would do. She'd also need to practice spells so that she could gain XP, sleep and recover her spell points.
Ritsuko began climbing a wall. Shinji's apartment was that way.
Human evolution and development was at a standstill. No new children were being born. The future ended in red goo within the space of a year unless measures were taken.
The Wizard of the Spells R Us shop had played a number of games over a number of years. Some of the RPGs were quite amusing.
A future in which he and every human alive went splut and turned into red goo because of the plans of Gendo Ikari and the old men of SEELE? Not amusing in the least. He couldn't touch Gendo Ikari or Keele Lorenz or the old men of SEELE. Not only were they not easily manipulated, they usually had numbers of triggerhappy snipers in their vicinity watching for threats.
It was human evolution and human development that were stymied by the whole Lillith-descent Wormwood/Second Impact scenario. By introducing the Statue of Miao Nyan Mew, he bypassed that limitation entirely. The essence of the goddess Bast provided a changed nature of being. Even if things progressed as they had originally, Ritsuko and now Maya would be immune to the Angel Of Death and would fail to go splut.
The Statue now belonged to Shinji. Men could not be affected by the "statuette of the holy catgirl" unless their mind/soul was female. An all female race was not normally possible however. So how would a race of catgirls propagate? By choosing a male of a similar species as a mate and "recruiting" him to the cause. The method involving no magic, but a lot of affection, cuddling, and mad passionate sex could convince many a male that it wasn't such a bad deal to have a girlfriend (or two or three or four) who had a tail and feline ears.
He'd originally found the Statue himself over two hundred years previously. The clothes of the changing forms of the catgirl had altered as it had (yes, the statuette itself was sentient on some level even if immobile) observed various RPGs and television programs over the years. Sometimes the Wizard had walked into the room and found that the wind had blown open a book or a magazine, or that some object had fallen across the TV remote and turned it on and put it on some channel.
Now the Statue had its chance to shine.
From the Wizard's point of view, this was a mutually beneficial thing. Not exactly his usual venue, but these were not usual circumstances.
Hmmm. Looked like Maya was over her initial shock.
Obviously being a tall, shy, gentle, though sometimes ferocious catgirl warrior - she kind of stood out.
How then could she sneak out of the Geofront from the medical complex? Not only were there sensors darn near everywhere, but guards. Her current form and garb were not suitable for sneakery.
What to do?
After pondering this from the foyer to the medical wing, she decided -
