AURORA CYCLE CAMP AU i couldn't stop thinking abt this there's so much potential here
BASICALLY there are 4 cabins, each with a pair of counselors. 
Auri/Scar (girls cabin)
Fin/Kal (boys cabin)
Ty/Nari (boys cabin, poor Nari)
Zila/Saedii (girls cabin)
Auri
she used to go to the camp when she was younger so she’s like a senior here
friends with everyone
leads the nature hikes
even tho she’s been going to the camp for 10+ years is incapable of making a friendship bracelet more complicated than a fishtail (she’s tried)
head chef!
one night she got really sick and couldn’t cook so fin took over, the result closely resembled a bowl of vomit. everyone ate smores for dinner that night.
her and scar are actually a great pair, they balance each other out and probably get along better than any of the other counselor pairs do
Scar
avoides her duties at all costs
just makes friendship bracelets and gossips about the other cabins
gives the campers relationship advice but they’re all like, eleven
“girl taking your pen!!! the sparkly one too?? i’m getting major red flags, that's such an ick. you need to dump him next recess.”
everyones fav counselor 1000%
surprisingly good at pep talks
always the one that gets called in when there’s camper conflicts
blasts britney spears in the mess hall (speaker is consequently confiscated by tyler)
Kal
came for the service hours, stayed for the found family
surprisingly very responsible and into nature
always the one who gathers the wood for the campfire each night
helps in the kitchen most nights (he maintains that it’s to spend as little time with finn as as possible orrr is it because auri is head chef cough cough)
no one knows anything about him. like anything. where he’s from? what his last name is? how old he is? if he has family? zilch.
has to enforce 98% of the rules bc fin couldn't care less abt disciplining the campers
very passionate about algae??? no one has any idea where that came from
could and would fight off a bear
takes the spiders that get into the cabin back outside in a little cup (while fin is curled up on his bunk screaming)
scar drags him into making friendhsip bracelets with him
has a black nalgene with like 5 half finished bracelets hanging off it that he takes everywhere with him
definitely doesn't make auri bracelets idk why you would think that
Fin
imagine how chaotic he was in the series, times 100
pushes everyone in on lake days and then whines when the campers push him in
“fin, what’s this type of plant called?”    “girl . . . a leaf prolly idk”
tries to sneak his nintendo switch onto the camp (it gets confiscated by a very disappointed tyler)
goes over to the girls cabins a bittt too often to flirt with scar (and annoy auri)
called the top bunk as SOON as he got in that cabin
allergic to everything under the sun so the forest scare the shit out of him (the other counselors have yet to figure out why exactly he signed up for a camp . . in the forest)
CANNOT swim and is terrifiyed of the lake on the campgrounds
again no one knows how tf he got hired
scar's theory is the camp had him signed up as a camper and the system fudged the lists up
Zila
so quiet she blends into the forest on accident
once fin was walking down a trail with rations, zila was just off the trail trying to get a goldenrod sample and started talking to him all of a sudden, not realizing she was completely obscured by a tree to his POV. cue the ration packs flying everywhere and fin running back up the trail screaming
once sat on a log for three. hours. motionless, just watching a stream
goes on very mysterious “nature walks” where no one hears a single thing for her for hours and hours
can identify ever bird call
knows every plant, it’s scientific name, if it’s invasive or native, etc etc
100% wakes nari up to see the stars during a meteor shower (in a very platonic way ofc ofc)
has a first aid kit on her at all times
Tyler
Ty 🤝 Nari
           ^
 running that cabin like a boot camp
no bc you will never be able to convince me that their dynamic wouldn’t have been peak
if everyone didn’t have a crush on him, he’d be the counselor everyone complained abt
scar still complains abt him tho (as her sisterly duties require)
actually a boy scout so this is his natural habitat
lovesss ordering people around its like his favorite thing
really demanding but he is also never seen not working on smth so you can’t really get mad at him for it
always starts campfire nights off with some Sun Tzu quote or a #motivational speech
has a trophy shelf in his bunk but its just all the things he's confiscated (the speaker and switch being some of said objects)
Saedii
do what she says. thats it.
is actually pretty chill if you follow the rules, do your chores, don’t get into fights etc.
with that being said, once you screw up, it’s over
shes like a crow she just remembers bro
can remember every camper shes ever had, what the looked like, acted like, every time they messed up etc.
just don’t mess with her
is prepared for every possible situation
bear attack? dw, she’s got a gun. tsunami? she’s trained. wildfire? she’s a volunteer firefighter back home.
doesn't outright say she and kal are related but doesn't not confirm it either
bonded with tyler over their extensive shared knowledge of the camp's allowed procedures in the case of an intruder on the campgrounds

Collateral Damage, Chapter 2
First Chapter Next Chapter Masterpost AO3 Link
Summary: Four test subjects have lived inside of a lab for as long as they can remember, with barely any memory of who they are or how they got there aside from what they've been told. When they start suspecting things might not be exactly as they seem, they see no option other than escaping into the outside world to find answers despite knowing close to nothing about life outside the lab. Meanwhile, four completely normal teenagers just out of highschool find themselves wrapped up in a mystery involving shady organizations and illegal experimentation.
POV: Tyler Jones
Pairings: Aurora O'Malley x Kaliis Gilwraeth, (Eventual) Scarlett Jones x Finian de Seel, Zila Madran x Nari Kim, and Tyler Jones x Saedii Gilwraeth
Word count: 3,667
Author's Notes: I know it's been a loooooong wait since the last chapter, but chapter 2 is finally here! I was super preoccupied with life stuff and didn't have much time to write, then when I finally finished this chapter, I didn't have the energy to post it. But here we are! Enjoy!
~~~
At the same flat metal table in the same dark, otherwise empty room, another boy sits. He had only been there for a short while before the detective across from him had entered the room. He's admittedly getting a little irritated with the situation he's in, but he's significantly more patient than Finian, and if he's being honest, he'd probably say he's a bit more respectful too. He pays close attention as the detective presses the button on his recording device.
"This is Detective Adams, here with…" He trails off, gesturing to the boy as if to cue him in.
The boy leans forward to make sure he'll be picked up by the device. "Tyler Jones."
"How old are you, Tyler?"
"18 years old."
Adams nods. "When was the first time you met the kids from the GIABSA?"
"Well, they came up to me outside my friend Cat's house to ask for my help." Tyler explains. "I didn't know what they wanted me to do, they just told me that it was serious, and that they were being followed by someone."
"Wait," Adams holds up one of his hands as a signal for Tyler to stop speaking. "So these four total strangers just walked right up to you and asked for your help? They didn't give you any context?"
Tyler drags a hand through his blond hair. "Right. To be fair to them though, they did give me a little context. But it wasn't like that helped. I was still freaking out."
"So what did you do about this?"
"Honestly? I'd probably say I panicked, sir."
Adams raises an eyebrow. "Do you mind elaborating?"
"No, yeah, of course…"
~ ~ ~
The first thing I did was just stare at them. Obviously it was awkward, but what else was I supposed to do? Thinking back on it, I'm pretty sure my mouth was hanging open a little. It took me a minute even to just fully take in what they looked like. There was a girl and a guy who looked pretty alike. They both had tanned olive skin and sharp, piercing features. One had black hair, but one had silver hair, and that was the first odd thing I noticed. The next thing was that they both had purple eyes, and pointy ears like elves from some kind of fantasy romance novel my sister would read. Not to mention that they were both pretty ripped. Honestly, either one of them probably could've torn me in half. And believe me, I'm capable of putting up a good fight.
There was also another girl who looked a lot nicer. She had choppy black hair, with a thick white streak in her bangs. Her eyes matched her hair, one of them a dark brown and the other one white. Last but not least, there was a boy who looked a little like a coloring page that hadn't been done yet. He had bright white skin and hair, and for whatever reason, his eyes were tightly shut. There were a lot of other things that I could've let my brain not connect about them, but I didn't have a chance to, because at that point I was finally connecting what the girl with the mismatched eyes had asked, and what the white haired boy was saying to me.
A couple of thoughts ran through my head at the same time. What kind of 'situation' are they in? Why are they on a time crunch? Who are they running from? That was when I'd say I really started panicking.
All I could say was, "I… I'll be right back."
Then I turned right around and practically ran to the house. I closed the door behind me a little louder than I meant to, which made the other people inside glance up at me. My sister Scarlett was in a chair across the room, and our friend Cat was stretched across a couch nearby scrolling on her phone. We were at her house, one that technically belonged to one of her relatives who was never around.
"What're you running from, Ty? Did you see a scuffed boot outside?" Scarlett wiggled her fingers at me, clearly amused by my fear.
"No." I shook my head, slightly out of it. "Actually, there might've been a ghost or something." There was the boy with the white hair. Who knew what his deal was.
"I'm sorry, what?" Cat sat up then, suddenly interested.
"Okay, I'm going to start this by telling you guys that either I might be crazy, or the people outside might be going to some kind of costume party."
A gentle, slightly concerned smile crossed my sister's face. "Ty, did you drink that milk that's in the fridge? Because that was just a little expired and you might be delirious."
"No, I didn't- and also you should probably throw that away- but that's not the point." I went to the window to the left of the door and pulled back the curtain a little. "It'll be hard to explain, so I just need you to look."
Scarlett raised an eyebrow at me, but still got up to look. She stood beside me and saw who I was looking at right away, given that this was a small town and they were really the only people of interest out there. "Oh, shit, yeah. Those look like cosplayers if I've ever seen them. What were they talking to you about?" She glanced at me, then back to the group.
"That girl in the middle, the short one with black hair, she was asking for my help. Then that tall guy in all the metal brace things started talking about how they were being chased." I explained. "I didn't get a lot more than that, but they seemed pretty serious."
"Are you gonna help them, then?" Scar nudged me with her elbow. "Seems like something you'd do."
"I don't know. Probably."
Cat, who was now standing behind us, decided to pipe up. "You've got to be kidding me, Ty! You don't even know what they want! It could be something insane for all we know. And look," she pointed to the group outside, who were clearly arguing about something. "I'm getting a bad feeling about this. I'm really not sure we can trust them."
"That's a good point, Cat," Scar admitted. "But still, wouldn't you rather at least try? I mean, if they really are in trouble, then I agree with Tyler. I want to help them."
Cat stared at her like she'd just suggested playing a drinking game with the milk in the fridge. "Have you both lost your minds? We don't know how bad their issue is. There's no way in hell I'm involving myself in this, and you shouldn't either. Just go outside, tell them to fuck off, and we can go back to enjoying our summer."
I had to admit, those were some good points too. Helping total strangers who seemed to be in some kind of danger was definitely a risky move, especially when they looked the way these guys did. Because sure, from far away they could've been costumes, but up close? All those weird things about them seemed just a little too real. There had to be a story behind that, and I wasn't sure if it was one I wanted to hear. Plus, Cat was right. We'd only just graduated a week before. It was our first summer out of high school, and personally I thought that the idea of spending it six feet under after having been murdered by a pack of wandering trick or treaters was a real bummer.
I heaved a sigh. "Alright."
Scarlett shot me one of those looks she did when she thought I was being dumb. To be fair, this whole situation was a little too complicated for any solution to not seem dumb. If we helped those people, and they were lying, they might murder us. If we didn't, and they were telling the truth, there was a chance that might put them in danger. I returned a look to her, just to let her know I had a handle on things. I turned away from my friends and opened the door again. I saw all four of the people on the sidewalk look up at me, stopping in the tracks of whatever argument they'd been having. Even the one with his eyes closed had turned his head towards me. The tall one with the black hair still looked pretty pissed, though, so I made a note to keep my distance from her.
I'll admit, I was a little nervous to tell them what I had to tell them. The short girl and the white-haired boy weren't all that scary, but the two taller ones were definitely not helping my nerves. "Okay," I began, speaking slowly and not making any sudden movements. "I talked to my friends in there-" I gestured back to Cat's house, where I got the feeling Scarlett and Cat were still watching all of this go down- "and they were both pretty opinionated. But the details aren't important. Long story short..."
I trailed off, finally meeting the wide gaze of the girl who had mismatched eyes. She seemed so… hopeful. It was like she was silently pleading with me, asking me to hear them out, and somehow I understood her perfectly. And taking in her face, I just couldn't see how she could possibly be a bad person. There was no way I could've really known, but I did.
Cat's not going to be happy with this.
"You guys can come inside."
The girl's face immediately brightened, splitting into a big grin. "Really?" Before I could make another move, she practically pounced at me, catching me in a tight hug. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Recovering from the initial shock of it, I gave her a polite pat on the back. I saw the tall boy with his eyes closed pretend to wipe sweat from his forehead. "We owe you, man."
The girl hugging me let go and turned back to the other girl in their group. "Not to say I told you so, but…"
"Tread lightly, Aurora." The tall girl snapped.
"Anyway," I piped up again, partly to remind them of my presence and also partly to distract the angry girl. "Just follow me in, and then I'm going to need you to explain what's going on here."
"Of course." The silver haired boy nodded serenely. "That is a perfectly reasonable price for what you've done for us."
Still questioning my decision a little, I led the group behind me back into the house. The group of strangers, back to the house, where my friend lived. Yeah, I know, not my brightest moment.
Now, I'm going to describe the way Cat looked when I walked back in. Have you ever been to a farm with chickens? Well there will sometimes be this moment when you're interacting with chickens when you lock eyes with one of them, and you just know, deep down in your soul, that this chicken is the one in charge. It's trying to keep things under control, keep everything cool. You're not a part of that, not even a little. And it. Hates. You. That was the exact same way Cat looked at me when I stepped back through the door with the four strangers.
Scarlett, on the other hand, seemed perfectly happy. At least she still had faith in me. "Hi!" She greeted the group in her best 'trying to make everyone comfortable' voice. "You guys can sit wherever you want, there's plenty of room."
While she continued to be the hostess, Cat grabbed the front of my shirt and dragged me into the kitchen.
"Are you crazy?" She hissed in a hushed tone, putting her hands on my shoulders and shaking me a little. "What happened out there?"
"Cat, they really don't seem that bad." I gently removed her hands from my shoulders. "I know, this wasn't the plan, but I need you to hear me out on this one."
"I don't really have a choice now, do I? They're already in my living room." She pointed accusatorially back the way we came. "I swear to the Maker, Ty, if you're wrong about this-"
"I won't be. Promise." I assured her.
She seemed to attempt to think of a good response, but settled for an exasperated sigh and a stomp back to the living room.
The four newcomers were settled in seats around the room. The scary girl was occupying the chair Scarlett had previously been in. The silver haired boy and the other girl- Aurora, I remembered her name was- were sitting next to each other on one end of the couch. The boy in the metal frame was at the other end. I positioned myself near the center of the room, with Cat standing nearby. "Alright, so. Explanation. First things first, can I get your names?"
Aurora spoke up, pointing to each of her friends in turn. "This is Kal Gilwraeth, that's his sister Saedii, that's Finian de Seel, and I'm Aurora O'Malley. Auri for short."
"I'm Tyler. That's my sister Scarlett, and our friend Cat." Scarlett waved to them from where she was sitting on the floor. Cat just continued glowering. "Now that that's out of the way, can someone please explain what's going on with you guys?"
The other three all looked at Finian, who obviously didn't know since his eyes were still closed. "Based on the silence, I'm assuming you all want me to do it?" He raised his eyebrows. "What happened to not 'immediately divulging our situation to complete strangers'?"
"Shut up and talk, Finian." Cat snapped her fingers.
"That's an oxymoron." Finian pointed out. "But anyway, allow me to explain, because I'm afraid of the angry girl." His speaking sped up about ten times after that. "So basically, we're from this crazy place called the GIABSA, or Global Intelligence Agency for Beings with Superhuman Ability if you want to be fancy about it. What that means is just that we've got these weird powers, like superheroes or something, and the people at the GIABSA were helping train us. I know that sounds totally sick but it's definitely not, because we're pretty sure there's some fucked up stuff going on behind the scenes, since a bunch of people kept disappearing and not coming back. We didn't want that to happen to us- because why would we- so we escaped. We had to escape because they were keeping us locked in there, which is definitely a red flag we somehow missed. But now the thing is, they're after us, and we've got no clue what they're going to do if they find us, so our only choice is to somehow figure out how to not get caught. Plus, we want to figure out what happens to the people who disappear, so on top of everything else there's also that." He breathed deeply, and it was only then that I realized he'd done all that in one breath. "Any questions?"
"Uh… yeah." Scarlett nodded, looking about as confused as I was feeling. "Do you always talk that fast?"
"Yup." Finian nodded.
"And he never stops, no matter what anyone may do." Saedii helpfully informed her.
"You know you love me." Fin waved dismissively in her direction.
"I despise you."
I interjected then, ignoring all of the other insane questions I could've asked in favor of asking a simple one. "Do your eyes open?"
"Yes, actually, they do." Fin explained. "But I found out immediately after leaving the GIABSA that bright lights hurt my eyes real bad, at least that's what I think the deal is."
"We could dim the lights, if you want." Scarlett offered.
"That would be great, thanks. Are there windows in here? If so then we'll also need to close the curtains, I think."
Scarlett got up to do what he was asking. Cat shot me a warning glare, and I wished I could've properly communicated to her that I was a little more nervous now too. Luckily, when Scarlett closed the curtains and turned off the lights, nothing crazy happened. What did happen, though, was that Fin finally opened his eyes. What I hadn't picked up on originally, due to his eyes being closed, were just how big they were. They were definitely bigger than normal human eyes, just enough to put him on the edge of the uncanny valley. Not to mention that they were completely and totally white like the rest of him, no iris or pupil or anything.
"Damn, if I knew how good looking you all would be then I would've worn my good uniform today." He tugged on the collar of the grey jumpsuit he was wearing.
"So you can see us, good. Now that that's out of the way..." I nodded, considering which of my many questions to ask next. "What were you saying about superpowers?"
Kal was the one to jump in this time. "We all have them. Everyone in the GIABSA, that is. And every ability is different."
Cat chuckled. "You're kidding. You can't possibly expect us to believe that."
There was a sound like ripping paper. I hadn't seen her move at all, but suddenly Saedii was directly behind Cat. "It doesn't matter if you believe it. That doesn't change that it's entirely true."
Cat startled, whirling around, but by the time she'd turned, Saedii was right back in her chair.
"Woah, okay." I continued as Cat settled back into frustration, directed more at Saedii than at me now. "So how did you get them? Were you born with them, or were they given to you, or what?"
The four of them exchanged a glance, and I got the feeling that they were all expecting someone else to know the answer to my question. Auri spoke. "We… don't really know."
If I hadn't already been concerned, I was definitely concerned then. I briefly caught Scarlett's eye, and I knew we were thinking the same thing. She was just the one to say it out loud. "How could you not know how you ended up with crazy magic powers?"
"I think it's probably more science than anything, but I mean… as Auri said, we don't know." Fin gestured to his friend. "That'd probably be a good thing to look into, though. Personally I'd love to know how we ended up with crazy magic powers."
"I think we all would." I muttered, brow furrowed in thought. Pieces of a solution started floating together in my head. "Fin, you said the start of all this has to be science, right? I've gathered at this point that going back to that GIABSA thing is a dead end, but obviously it would take a supergenius to crack this."
"I consider myself a pretty smart guy, I-"
I cut him off. "But you've been living with all this for how long, and you still don't have a clue what's going on?" I turned to Scarlett and Cat. "We might need a fresh pair of eyes on them. Someone who has enough experience with freaky science to be able to look at the situation and give us something new."
After a moment, Scarlett understood. "Ty. She's probably busy, you can't just drag her into this."
Then, Cat got it too. She glared at Scarlett. "What, with us it's fine but now that he's getting that science girl involved he's crossed a line? I could've used this energy before, Scar."
"Okay, it's different." My sister held up a finger as if that would do more to prove her point. "I'm his sister and you're his best friend, we're special cases and we're required to go along with all of his stupid plans just as he's required to go along with all of ours." She gave me an apologetic look. "No offense, Ty."
I held up my hands in surrender. "None taken."
"But anyway," Scarlett continued, "'That science girl,' as you so eloquently called her, is a third party person. AKA, off limits."
"And I get that, but we don't really have another choice here." We technically did have other choices, but for the most part they involved things I didn't really want to do, so I didn't feel the need to mention them. "We'll bring these guys to her, and she can help us out. It'll be over and done with before you can say 'summer vacation,' I promise."
When I heard Aurora's voice, it occurred to me again that there were four other people in the room who should definitely be involved in this conversation. "Can… someone fill us in?"
I brought my attention back to the group, where I was met by a frustrated glare from Saedii, a confused expression from Aurora, a sharply focused gaze from Kal, and a distinctly un-focused one from Fin. "Right. So, there's this girl who goes to our school. She's probably the smartest person I've ever met, it's a little scary. With luck, she'll be able to help you figure out a little bit more of what's going on."
"Is she trustworthy?" Saedii crossed her legs and leaned back, like I wasn't worth much of her attention.
"I've never had an issue with her." I shrugged. I heard Saedii make an unsatisfied 'hm' sound.
"That will have to do." She examined her nails, which I only then noticed were weirdly sharp. Somehow I got the feeling that the arrangements we were making wouldn't do, but I had nothing else at that point.
"What is her name?" Kal asked. I decided that I liked him a lot more than his sister. He was nicer, at least. That time, it was Scarlett who answered.
"Her name is Zila Madran. And as much as I regret having to drag her into this… she'll definitely be able to help you."

*clears throat*
It is one of the great tragedies of the Aurora Cycle official art that they didn’t make Fin’s exo chonkier. Make it really in-your-face and obvious. It’s the first thing a lot of characters notice about him and it’s incredibly impressive that he built it himself??? Like damn king you dropped this 👑 you incredibly awesome gearhead
I could say a lot here about the representation of disability and mobility aids in media, but when he has an adapted chair in the ship just to accommodate his exo, I feel like it should be more obvious. At the very least, it should offer support to his entire body (he says things like “my fingers take a second to articulate” which implies that his suit’s area of effect extends to his extremities.)
thank you for your time

L'intemporel Neon Genesis Evangelion
Tumblr media
Ex-libris Aizouban Neon Genesis Evangelion Illustration : Yoshiyuki Sadamoto - Copyright Khara
Neon Genesis Evangelion est devenu un manga culte pour les fans du genre Mecha et fin du monde. Actuellement, il est possible de se plonger dans cette histoire, assez ardue, dans une belle perfect edition en 7 tomes chez Glénat.
C'est une œuvre signée par Yoshiyuki Sadamoto.
Synopsis (l’officiel est au bas de ce billet) : Le big bang a donc eu lieu en l’an 2000 en Antarctique avec un cataclysme qui a rayé de la carte la moitié du globe terrestre.
15 ans après, dans ce monde post-apocalyptique, l’humanité tente de se reconstruire après ce Second Impact. Cependant, la guerre n’est pas terminée, les hommes doivent faire face à une forme de vie mystérieuse : les Anges. Le jeune Shinji Ikari (14 ans) est destiné à piloter l’Evangelion 01. Dans cet objectif, son père, le commandant de la NERV, une organisation scientifique et militaire placé sous le contrôle de l’ONU, le recrute.
Les Evangelions sont des unités mobiles de combat qui prenne la forme de mechas. Mais derrière cette armure de métal se cache un secret…
Si être pilote est un rêve pour de nombreux jeunes, cela est loin d’être le cas pour Shinji. D’ailleurs, dés la première case de l’histoire, le jeune garçon exprime son indifférence à la mort ou à un potentiel accident. Son seul intérêt est de se rapprocher de son inconnu de père.
Une chose est certaine, leur première confrontation n’est pas d’un grand enthousiasme, bien au contraire car Shinji va déjà faire face à la mort pour sauver l’humanité (selon les dire de son paternel).
Il va alors devoir se battre contre ces Anges qui attaquent en permanence la capitale forteresse Tokyo-3.
Pendant ce temps, la SEELE, une mystérieuse organisation qui dirige dans l’ombre la NERV, font tout pour accomplir le plan de complémentarité de l’homme. »
Le scénario est bourré de mystère, de psychologie et de religion. Ce dernier est rarement abordé dans le genre shonen. Autrement dit, on ne peut rester passif tout au long de cette histoire et parfois il est nécessaire de faire une pause pour ingurgité les événements.
Attention au dépressif… lecture non conseillé car ce n’est pas forcément très jouissif.
Bien entendu, il est toujours possible de (re)voir l’anime, sortie dans le milieu des années 1990 sur la plateforme Netflix. A ce propos, l’histoire diverge vers encore plus de pessimisme. On touche le fond...😂
Dans le même genre et plus récent : Darling in the FranXX. Là encore, ce sont les enfants qui peuvent sauver la planète Terre et c’est plus compréhensible (disponible en anime sur Crunchyroll).
Synopsis officiel : « An 2000, Un astéroïde gigantesque s’abat sur le pôle Sud. Cette catastrophe sans précédent dans l’Histoire fut nommée le ‘Second Impact’.
Montée du niveau des eaux, perturbations climatiques, crashes économiques, affrontements, guerres civiles… la moitié de la population humaine de ce monde disparut…
Quinze ans plus tard, alors que les premiers signes de renouveau se précisent, l’humanité s’apprête à affronter une nouvelle crise… Les Anges.
Des armes de combat gigantesques, d’origine inconnue, attaquant les unes après les autres. Sont-elles finalement, comme leur nom l’indique, « les messagers de Dieu » ?
Pour contrer les assauts des Anges, l’humanité développe l’ultime arme de combat humanoïde : Evangelion.
En 2015, trois unités sont presque prêtes à l’usage. Pour piloter les EVA, un trio composé de deux filles et d’un garçon a été choisi.
Les adultes n’ont d’autres choix que de leur confier leurs propres espoirs en l’avenir.
Ces enfants portent sur leurs épaules la charge d’un combat qui déterminera l’existence de l’humanité.
Ce combat commence aujourd’hui »

Statt abzuebben wurde der Regen immer aufdringlicher. Fin’s Blick wanderte zu der gläsernen Kuppel, die vermutlich ohne Magie schon vor vielen Stürmen kaputt gegangen worden wäre. Doch für ihn war es leicht einen Schutz- und Verstärkungszauber auf das Glas zu legen, sodass es vermutlich selbst einem Tornado standhalten würde. Der junge Hexer kannte sich mit Magie aus. Er war mit ihr aufgewachsen und von klein auf brachte man sie ihm bei wie das Buchstabieren oder Schreiben. Tatsächlich war er noch vor seinem ersten gesprochenen Wort in der Lage gewesen Magie zu wirken. Damals war diese jedoch noch rein, unverfälscht, auch wenn man oft irrtümlicherweise davon ausging, dass die Dunkelhexen mit einer schwarzen Seele geboren wurden. Natürlich lag es ihnen nach so vielen Generationen der Dunkelheit in den Genen, im Blut, aber es war die Erziehung und die Bindung zu Pan, dem Gehörnten Gott, der die Seele einer jeder Hexer oder eines jeden Hexers verdarb und verdunkelte. Auch andere Hexen beteten Pan an, allerdings nur in einem gewissen Maß. Pan war der Todesgott unter den unzähligen Göttern, die es in seinem Glauben gab und doch stand er auch als Hüter der verstorbenen Seelen. Er war also nicht gänzlich boshaft, dennoch war er in der Dunkelheit erschaffen worden. Manchmal zweifelte Finnian diese Tatsache an. Niemand wurde in der Dunkelheit geboren, schon gar nicht ein Gott. Es wurde als Verrat und Ketzerei gewertet, wenn man die Legenden und Sagen als falsch abtat oder gar hinterfragte. Dabei stand die Magie dafür, dass man hinterfragen sollte, um zu lernen und sich weiterzubilden. Wie in jeder Religion, wie in jedem Kult gab es auch in seinem widersprüchliche Sachen, die keinen Sinn zu ergeben schienen. Fin war schon immer jemand gewesen, der hinterfragte und auf eigene Faust nachforschte und sich Wissen aneignete. Auch wenn er den Göttern Freya und Pan seine Magie und seine Gaben zu verdanken hatte, schloss er es nicht aus auch zu anderen Göttern zu beten. Dabei legte er sich nicht auf eine Mythologie oder eine Religion fest, auch wenn er sich trotz allem als Wicca fühlte.
Fin hatte gelernt solche Dinge für sich zu behalten, bis er jemandem vertraute. Allerdings war Vertrauen auch eine Sache, mit der er nicht leichtfertig umging. Fin vertraute im gewissen Maß seinen Zirkelmitgliedern, seinen Hohepriestern. Abgesehen davon schenkte er niemandem sein Vertrauen. Bisher war es noch nie so weit gekommen, als dass er darüber nachgedacht hatte. Wenn man sein ganzes Leben lang von Dunkelheit und den Toten umgeben war, lernte man irgendwann sich diesen anzuvertrauen, denn Tote konnten nicht sprechen. Jedenfalls konnten sie nicht über das sprechen, was ihnen eine Hexe oder ein Hexer anvertraute, wenn sie von eben solchen beschworen wurden. Im Moment der Beschwörung wurden sie an die magieausführende Person mit einem Schweige- und Treuezauber gebunden, sodass es ihnen nicht möglich war etwas weiterzutragen, was geflüstert wurde. Sich tagtäglich mit Toten zu umgeben hatte auch zur Folge, dass die Lebenden schnell in Vergessenheit gerieten und man so in eine Art Einsamkeit fiel, die vermutlich nur ein weiterer Totenbeschwörer oder Nekromant nachvollziehen konnte. Auf ihre Worte hin hob er schwach die Mundwinkel. Er konnte charmant sein und nutzte diesen Charme gewiss auch an, um Kunden dazu zu bringen Geld in seinem Laden auszugeben. „Komisch. Eigentlich bin ich mir sicher, dass ich dich noch nie in Rosemarkie gesehen habe, Jovana“ erwiderte er, ehe er auch einen Schluck des Tees nahm, der so heiß war, dass es ihm fast die Zunge verbrannte. „Aber manchmal führt das Schicksal zwei Menschen zusammen, wenn es so sein soll“ grübelte er laut nach, auch wenn er die Worte nur halbherzig ernst meinte. Das Schicksal war eine verworrene Sache, über die er oft und gerne nachdachte. Doch ob es nun wahrhaftig das Schicksal war, welches sie in seinen Laden gebracht hatte, wagte er fast zu bezweifeln. Auch wenn ihn die Bilder, die er bei ihrer Berührung gesehen hatte, nicht losließen. Vermutlich würde er noch bis spät in die Nacht hinein darüber nachdenken, was es damit auf sich hatte.
„Du kannst nicht zufällig Bilder in Köpfe anderer fließen lassen, oder?“ neugierig sah er sie durch die grünen Augen an. Oft hörte er, dass seine Augen an einen dichten Wald erinnerten. An Bäume, die an der Spitze von der Sonne geküsst wurden. War es wirklich sie gewesen, die ihm die Bilder gezeigt hatte? Aber das ergab keinen Sinn. Wieso sollte sie so etwas tun, wenn sie sich doch kaum kannten? Außerdem war ihm aufgefallen, dass auch sie etwas bleich geworden war, als sich ihre Hände berührt hatten. Vielleicht hatte auch sie diese Bilder gesehen und die Magie spielte ihnen beiden einfach nur einen grausamen Streich. Finnian konnte sich keinen Reim daraus machen, doch es verleitete ihn dazu nachdenklich auf seiner Unterlippe herumzukauen – eine dumme Angewohnheit, die er sich schon in seinen Kindheitstagen angeeignet hatte. Sein Blick wanderte wie von selbst wieder zu Jovana, die nur zwei Schritte von ihm entfernt stand und ebenfalls an ihrem Tee nippte. Der junge Hexer bemerkte, wie die wohlduftenden Kräuter allmählich zu wirken begannen und er sich deutlich entspannte. Es war, als würde eine Last von seinen Schultern abfallen, die sich seit ihrem Eintreten in seinen Laden aufgebaut hatte. Finnian hegte keine Vorurteile gegenüber den Lichthexen, allerdings wusste er, dass auch diese listig sein konnten. Und er wusste auch, wie die meisten Lichthexen über Seinesgleichen dachte und er konnte es ihnen nicht verübeln. Er war kein Unschuldslamm – er war verdammt weit entfernt davon und wenn er sie so anblickte war er sich sicher, dass sie das wusste.

ok so. what if the reason kal always speaks so formally is that that was all he was taught by whoever taught him english (cause it’s not his first language) and he had no EFL friends to speak informally with and he couldn’t be bothered to watch tv shows or read books in english so he just didn’t know slang?
As someone who only knows English, I hadn't even considered this but I am in love with this take.
I also love the idea that when Scarlett realises this, she sits Kal, Saedii and Auri down for a powerpoint presentation on all of the slang that she knows (which is expectedly a lot) and thinks they should know. She does a new presentation (that she refers to as a class) every couple of weeks until she thinks the group has got the knowledge to be released into the English speaking world.
That being said, Fin and Scarlett have the opposite problem. Fin grew up on a space station and Scarlett is a Face, so I reckon both know a few secondary languages and will every now and then slip an idiom into conversation that is definitely not an English one, confusing everyone but each other.
Basically, Tyler is the only one of them who can comfortably throw English slang around 100% of the time.

You ever think about the fact that in the Alternative Timeline, even though it was basically hell, Tyler and Saedii were able to make themselves a life?! And they even raised a functional kid. 'Cause I do...
