Script Sneak Peek: Asuka Langley (Evangelion) You Can (Not) Wait (Patreon)

Asuka Langley Soryu's a prideful girl. But everyone has a breaking point... When she's stricken with a stomach bug that leaves her rushing for a toilet she finds that her favorite bathroom - a secluded single-stall toilet on the highest floor of NERV Headquarters - is occupied by Rei Ayanami. But time isn't on Asuka's side. Rather than risk an accident finding another toilet she stubbornly waits for Rei to finish up. But as her composure breaks down, Asuka (as always) starts to say things she doesn't mean, and eventually has to make a choice to save her pride or... well, you get the idea.

In line with the avant-garde direction and melodramatic style of Evangelion, this piece has a bit of a darker slant to it in terms of how Asuka acts out her desperation, including a scene that definitely blurs the line between parody and stylistic excess. As such I would consider this one bit more sadistic than what I usually write.

Neither Asuka nor Rei have been cast yet, nor has a thumbnail artist been decided on.

UPDATE: Title changed with the suggestion of patron Anthony Gigliotti, as well as a few more lines added to the major desperation scene.
