I really should be doing something more, uh, 
productive, yes. For example, writing 
Revelations, or maybe RyoruMonogatari . . . 
maybe even Fusion. Obviously I'm not doing 
what I should be doing. Bear with me. My 
mind's not quite functioning . . .

This fic was written on:
151 doughnuts.
42 cups of coffee.

Outskirts of Kyoto
(a mountain path)
September 6, 1999

"I've been to a lot of places, but the night sky is 
still the most beautiful here."

" . . . Why's that?"

"It's probably because there's light pollution 
elsewhere, but still . . . the weather here keeps 
the sky clear."

Fuyutsuki watched as Yui looked up into the 
night sky.

"I like the stars," she said, "But the true reason I 
love the sky here is the Moon. I can see it so
clearly."

Fuyutsuki looked up, and sighed slowly. 

". . . and the Sage parted with His Maiden, not 
by will, but because Fate separated Them. In 
mourning, He tried to create a daughter with His 
flesh, to remind Himself of Her . . . have you 
read this story, Ikari-kun?"

"No. What is it?"

"It's a perversion of the original Genesis text. I 
came over it in my research."

"Why'd you say it just now?"

"I saw the Moon, and it reminded me."

"The Moon?"

"Yes. See, in this text, the first lifeform, the one 
that would have been Adam in Genesis, was a 
sort of an androgynous entity, with both male 
and female characteristics. The being was 
incomplete and unstable, and this was what 
caused it to split in half. The male side became 
Adam, and the female side, Lilith."

"And that's the 'Sage' and the 'Maiden?' What 
does that have to do with the Moon?"

"It has to do with the moon because of the text's
interpretation of the Eve. In this story, she's the
daughter of Adam, and she's rejected by him 
because she doesn't live up to Lilith's standard. 
She left his garden, and took sanctuary on the 
Moon. She's the 'Moon Goddess.'"

"Moon Goddess?"

"Yes. She also falls under the category of the 
triple goddess archetype. That is, she has three 
aspects, the Maiden, her purity; the Mother, her
singularity; and the Crone, her bearing of sins. 
There are elements here of both the original Eve 
and the concept of the archetypal moon goddess 
as having a dual nature."

Yui considered this for a moment.

"What was her sin?"

"Jealousy."

The moon hung in the sky, surrounded by the 
infinite darkness of the night, and what little 
light the stars could shine upon it.

"I feel sorry for her," said Yui.

Antarctica
September 13, 2000

She floated in the darkness of the void, slowly 
awakening to the sounds of voices. She opened 
her eyes slowly.

*Usagi . . .*

"Rei? Is that you?"

A different voice, this time.

*Usagi . . .*

"Ami? Makoto? Who are you?"

And yet another. And another. Another . . .

*Usagi . . .* said the voices in unison.

"Who? Who's talking?"

*We are.*

"What . . . am I dead?"

There was a shock wave. It wasn't a physical 
one. It was just . . . there. It was a wave of 
numbing emotion. A wave of . . . regret? Usagi 
couldn't tell. She felt as if she were drowning in 
it.

*We're sorry we couldn't be there for you.*

There was a blinding flash, and Usagi sqeezed 
her eyes shut. When she opened them again, she 
saw the farewell party . . . the tears . . .

*It's only half a year . . . not forever.* she heard 
herself say.

"No! What . . ."

*Accept our spirit. Live on for us, Usagi.*

"No! This isn't happening! This is not 
happening!"

Her brooch began glowing, as did the rest of her 
body. Glowing . . . until there was nothing to see 
except the white.

A inhuman wail rang in the Antarctic sky, over 
the sounds of the explosion, over the crash of the 
waves.

Tokyo-2 UN Headquarters
(SEELE Conference Room)
January 27, 2009

"We have been expecting you, Lieutenant 
Tsukino," said the monolith.

Usagi sweated and put an arm behind her head. 

"Um, uh . . . have I done anything wrong?"

"No, Lieutenant. We merely wanted to interview 
a promising new recruit."

"Um, I've been in the JSDF for a little over two 
years now, so . . ."

"No, Lieutenant. A letter of transference should 
have been put into your mailbox yesterday. Have 
you received it yet?"

"Uh . . . actually, I haven't checked my mail for 
the past week or so."

Keel sweated. *Stupid girl.*

"You've just been transferred to NERV."

"Really? Ha! I knew I would make it 
eventually!"

Keel felt the invisible stares of the SEELE 
members. 

"You are excused now, Lieutenant."

"Bye-bye!"

Usagi left the room.

"You are certain this is a good idea, Keel?"

"Yes, gentlemen. She is, after all, the successor 
of Eve."

Tokyo-3 outskirts
(Usagi's apartment)
August 11, 2015

Luna sat on the chair, in human form, staring at 
PenPen.

"What are you looking at, penguin?"

*Wark*

"Not used to it? You will."

*Wark*

"What? Feed you? Usagi's not even coming 
home tonight. How's she going to feed you?"

*Wark*

"No, I'm not."

*Wark*

"As one of our roommates, you have 
responsibilities. There's not enough money for 
all three of us." She paused for a moment. "Four, 
tomorrow."

*Wark*

"What do you mean you can't get a job? Join the 
circus, damn it. It's not as if you're too dumb." 

*Wark*

"I take that back. You are too dumb."

The explosion sounded.

"There's Usagi."

*Wark*

(To be continued . . . ?)

This story is plotted out. I don't know if I have 
the willpower to continue it, though. Maybe on 
my free time. Any C&C or offers to pick it up 
would be appreciated.
