I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna I don't wanna!!!

Dylan James

"Yeah, Mom, I gotta let ya go! They need me out there! .....I love ya too! Bye! Geez, finally, some action!"

Dylan had been in the middle of his weekly phone conversation with his mother when the call came out. Dylan skates his way to the launch bay, quickly changing into his plugsuit and getting into his Eva.

"Alright guys, everything good? Cool! I'm gonna knock this Angel outta the park like the Bambino!"

After preparations are finished, EVA-03 is deployed into the downtown sector. "Let's rock!"

"Great, I'm all wet. Don't even got any backup here. This is wonderful. Whatevah, let's see what we're dealing with here."

Dylan stops complaining long enough to bunker down and take a good look at the Angel, trying to ascertain anything about it.

"Jesus, this sucks! I think the water's leakin' into my cockpit! I gotta get outta this drat river." Dylan disconnects his Eva for now and makes his way towards the Angel just as it grabs Unit 02.

"Hey, you Martian freak! Hands off!" He raises his rifle and shoot off a few rounds at it as it's distracted.

Combat roll: 2 and gonna use Three Way Flanking to bump it up to 4.

Dylan is leaning over, toweling the LCL out of his hair and nods in response to Jagr's acknowledgement. As the superior officer berates Franklin, Dylan flashes him a silent look that says "Hey, don't worry about that rear end in a top hat."

If only that dickhead headmaster at ol' St. Tommy's could see me now, he thinks,

"Nah, if it was baseball, we'd be eatin' Cracker Jack. You don't know what chowdah is? It's like a clam stew. Trademark New England dish. It's Friday, so we should be able to get a good deal." Dylan shakes his head at Pax's ignorance of the holy broth.

Dylan's taking the gang to Young's, which is a small family-owned seafood restaurant in town. Most of the workers are all part of the Young family, in fact. Dylan comes here often, so the staff knows him pretty well.

"Finally made some friends, did ya Dylan?" A waitress teases.

"Ah, shaddap, Annie. They're people from work."

"Look at you, workin' man. Take a seat and I'll come get ya drinks."

Dylan leads the others to a booth near the back. "Best seats in the house!"

"Man, don't sweat it, Franklin. poo poo happens, alright?"

He turns to Annie, picking up a chip and tossing it into his mouth. Of course Annie knew to start with the chips, she's a doll like that. "It's Friday, whaddaya think I'm havin'? Clam chowdah, Annie. Get whateva you want, guys. It's on my tab."

"So we're not getting paid for it is what you're saying?"

"Shush, Annie."

"Er...yeah, we do." It took Dylan until after his first spoon of chowder to notice that Annie was still there, and he talks to her while absentmindedly crushing saltines and sprinkling them in. "What's up, Annie? Ain't your dad gonna get mad at you for slackin' off?"

Five Days Ago

"So, how have things been at NERV?"

"The hell you wanna know that for, bro?"

Dylan had always enjoyed a....tepid relationship with his older brother Marcus. He represented everything about St. Tom's that Dylan hated, and it was even worse now that they were living together again.

"Because I want to know if my little brother is safe."

"Yeah, it's fine, whateva."

"By the way, it's time for bed."

"THE gently caress, IT'S GODDAMN NINE."

Four Days Ago

Dylan finds himself in the principal's office. This is a familiar place for him. He was caught asleep in class. He brushes off the stern lecture of the principal, who hasn't even gotten to know what he's capable of yet.

Three Days Ago

Dylan has some synch tests after school. He's getting better at it, though it's not very much progress.

Two Days Ago

Some fish and chips at Young's for dinner! Annie talked a bit more with Dylan about being at NERV and piloting the EVAs. She said it was odd for someone as young as him to be working so hard. Dylan reminded Annie that she was only 17, and she got in a huff.

Now

Dylan's EVA gets into position as he gets a visual on the Angel. "Jesus, the gently caress is that thing? We gonna keep fightin' even more of this Hellraiser poo poo? You guys gettin' anything on this thing?"

"MotherFUCKER!" Son of a bitch, this guy's messing with Dylan's friends. It's time for Dylan to do the thing he knows best: talk big. Maybe if he can get the Angel's attention off Franklin, the attack will stop.

"Hey, you non-Euclidean piece of poo poo! Why don'tcha fight us like a man......alien....tower.....whateva the gently caress you are?!"

"Dammit, it got away from me!" Dylan rushes around the perimeter of the battlefield, finding a more advantageous position flanking the Angel and using Franklin's distraction to get a few shots off. "Gotcha, bitch!"

Dylan jumps out of the way, the attack just grazing him, but he's not so lucky to avoid the mental attack. His synch fluctuates wildly as he freezes in place.

Dylan has had his head in his hand ever since he got out of his plug, and more oddly, he hasn't said a word. He let that thing get to him, he fired at Pax and Noah. What the gently caress was wrong with him? As the debriefing ends, he stays in his seat, silent and clutching his still-aching head.

"Dylan? Did something happen at work? We can talk about it, you know."

"Go away, Marcus."

Marcus makes to speak up, but sighs and walks off. Dylan has spent most of the last 5 days in his room, only coming out for school, food, and work. On the fifth day, he finally managed to drag himself out to Young's.

"The usual, Annie." He orders with none of his usual enthusiasm, worrying the waitress.

Man, this was a bad idea. If Jagr wasn't Dylan's superior, he'd be the textbook picture of a stranger not to take a ride from. Dylan could tell immediately that Jagr had an ulterior motive, and once the questions about the Wonder Twins came up, he was positive.
