all the more reason to do it.
 
[X] Bribe him with what he wants.
-[X] A girlfriend. Rei would be willing to go along with it, you're sure.

And it's best to have a backup plan.
[X] Bribe him with what he wants.
-[X] A boyfriend. You're not judging.


If someone's looping, then we shouldn't do anything we do in canon, just to mess with them or make them think we're looping too. This means I'm going to vote for the crack option.

Convince Shinji to get in the robot
[] Send out the injured clone based on his mother.
[] Play the parent card. Threaten to ground him.
[5] Be honest, lay your cards on the table, and don't lie.
[7] Bribe him with what he wants.
- [7] A girlfriend. Rei would be willing to go along with it, you're sure.
[8] Promise to be more active in his life.
- [6] This is important. Make sure he knows it's important, even beyond the fact that the giant monster stomping this day will kill everyone. You'll eat dinner with him once a week. And pretend to care about his stupid teenager angst problems.

[9] Send out the injured clone based on his mother.
- [5] She'll probably die from the combat, sure, but you have an entire swimming pool full of Rei. Shinji doesn't know that, though.

Stickin' to the guns.

This. This so very much. Hey building a giant robot is time consuming! We at least made sure he grew up ok(even if not in the good way for us.)

    As you look down at the slender boy standing there, staring up at you with fire in his eyes, you can't help but feel a little kinship with him. Just enough to make you purse your lips and pull out your phone.

    You already have Misato's number, so you select it and punch 'dial'.

    She picks up a few rings later. "Give the phone to the child." You say. The leggy brunette glances up at you, then does as you say.

    This is going to require tact. "Shinji." You whisper, trusting in the high-tech phone's microphone to pick up on your words. "I made a mistake when I sent you away."

    He sucks in air with an audible gasp, and your son's head snaps up to stare at you again.

    "I thought that I was the worst possible person to raise you, but that's in the past now. I'm very busy with important things, but maybe-" when are you not busy doing important things? Today is Thursday. "Wednesdays we could have dinner and I could. . . get to know you again."

    "That would. . . that would be nice." He whispers back, and-

    Oh god, you bet he's crying. You know what fixed your crying problem? Beating the shit out of people. It's also how you met your wife. Speaking of your wife-

    "But you're the only person compatible with the Evangelion we have that hasn't been horribly injured in a training accident or falling down the stairs." You say into the phone, "And if you don't get in Unit 01 and do your best to stop it, then that angel is going to kill me, you, and every other living person on the face of this planet."

    The silence stretches on. If he makes you say please you're just going to ask Rei to pilot Unit 01, and you'll decant a spare.

    He doesn't say anything, and you can see that he's shaking, paralyzed by indecision.

    You give the signal, and Rei is wheeled out of the elevator, using her IV stand as a walking stick. You've got to give her credit, she's good.

    Shinji takes on look at her and he breaks. "I'll pilot the Evangelion."

    It's all you can do not to smile

    -- You are a terrible father --

    The fight goes about as well as you can expect. Your son lacks your fine-tuned instincts for brutal physical combat, and he crumples like a drunk before, also like a drunk, flying into a screaming cannibalistic rage.

    So there's good news and bad news.

    The good news is that the third angel is dead, and your only available pilot only needed three days in the hospital to recover. The bad news is that Unit 01 ate the third angel's core, and is rapidly developing an S2 organ.

    Definitely not in the scenario.

    . . . Whatever.

    So who should you foist your impressionable fourteen year old son off on?

    Pick a chump, any chump.
    [] Misato
    [] Ritsuko
    [] Rei
    [] Kaji
    [] Write in (not yourself)

    [X] Misato

    Imma gonna have to go with the classics on this one. Misato is after all my favourite chump in canon.
     
    Well, he needs a good mother figure in his life and who better than a clone of his actual mother (mixed with space abomination, but that's minor)?

    [X] Rei
    - [X] Make clear to both of them that Rei is the one in charge.

    Alternative plan:
    [X] Rei
    - [X] Make clear to both of them that Rei is the one in charge.
    - - [X] You realize you might need someone that's technically older for legal purposes. Add Misato to the mix.
    - - - [X] Make ultra clear to the three of them that Rei is still the one in charge.
     
    [X] Madame Kurenai does run the best brothel in town. Shinji obviously needs to man up. Best place to do it

    [X] speak with Misato and Ritsuko about them moving in together along with Shinji and Rei. They need to be familiar with the tactical officer so they can trust her in battle and Ritsuko can provide the level headed authority figure the pilots need. all future pilots will be moved in with them as well. This will make security much easier as well.
    -[X] NERV will pay for MUCH better living conditions then they currently have. (give them a large penthouse or something)
    -[X] Personally Drive Shinji and Rei to their new home, Share stories about about Yui during the drive. Also discuss with Shinji about what time you should come over on Wednesday.
     
    ...

    [X]Ristuko to A. More closely monitor your son. B. keep your relationship based impostions together. C. Tie Ristuko more firmly to you with the responsibilty of caring for your spawn.

    Have cameras on all rooms of the building, right? For security of course. Yes, security. :p

    Do recall that we're Gendo. Being actually thoughtful is not an option.

    [X] Your son needs to man up. Misato, Ritsuko and Rei are out of the running.
    -[X] Kaji would be a candidate, but he isn't due to show up for a while.
    --[X] What other men do you know aside from Fuyutsuki?
    ---[X] ...Well, you guess a lesbian is close enough.
     
    [X] Rei. They're both pilots, after all. Makes sense to have them living in the same location, so that they can monitor each other's health and well-being or something else that sounds reasonable.

    Eh. I'm not Sure Ritsuko and Misato are the type that can live together and we don't won't Misato in Ritsuko's grill too much. She might let something slip. And will catch something off with Rei and is Spirited enough to raise a stink. And she's good. We don't want to have to disapear her.
