Story: NGE Oversynch

If there were any three characters in a connected role that were more different to each other than the pilots, it had to be the bridge bunnies. Maya, the cute closeted lesbian. Hyuga, the kinda geeky guy with a crush on Misato. Aoba, the nihilistic loner who really didn't want anything much to do with anyone.

And now, all three of them were connected to one another in a gestalt. See. The thing here? About this particular grouping? None of them - not a one of them - was sexually attracted to anyone else in the group.

"What the -"

"Fuck is -"

"This bullshit?"

All three of them slapped their hands over their mouths in shock. That must have been Aoba's nihilism mixed with a bit of Hyuga's annoyance and maybe some of Maya's surprise, all coalescing together into - That. Their eyes darted around between the three of them as they all shared thoughts at a rapid pace, maintaining complete professionalism as they did so.

Isn't this what happened to the pilots? Sure was. They seemed to become psychically connected like this. Hey, wait, couldn't they do weird shit with their bodies too? Language! Seriously, this is not the time to tone police! Yeah, but maybe if we maintain a professional air - Can we not argue about this and focus on what matters?

Then out of nowhere Hyuga had boobs and Maya had a penis.

"Eep!" both shrieked, Hyuga grabbing his chest and Maya putting her hands in front of her skirt while Aobo pinched his nose and shook his head wearily.

"Okay, so, maybe those weird experiments Senp-" Aoba began, then scowled and forced himself to try again. "Doctor Akagi was trying on me. On Maya! Were connected to what happened to the pilots."

"Senpai wouldn't use us as lab rats, and nor would Misato!" Hyuga said, pushing his glasses up his nose.

"Oh yeah, sure, that's an impartial conclusion, coming from the guy who had a sex dream last night where Misato oiled herself up while wearing a bikini and - " Maya began, then started to blush furiously as she realised what she was saying. "Can you get out of my head?"

"Can you get out of mine?" Aoba countered. "Your bubbly attitude is kinda cute when it's out and about, but not when it's singing and prancing inside my head!"

"Guys, can we chill? Please?" Hyuga said, stepping between the two of them. "Alright. Fine. Something weird happened. On the one hand, we should report it to Se- Doctor Akagi so she can potentially sort it out before it gets worse."

"On the other hand, maybe she did it on purpose..." Aoba grunted. "Yeah, I see the logic there. Best thing to do then: Contact the boss. If he's not in on it already, he can help us out. If he is..."

"We're fucked anyway," Maya muttered to herself. "Oooh, Aoba, you've got such a filthy fucking mouth! Could you stop making me fucking swear like a fucking sailor?!"

Both of the men fidgeted a little bit on hearing Maya say that. In turn, she blushed once again, knowing why they fidgeted: It's really kinda cute to see her react like that. Unfairly cute, even! 

"Hey guys," said a familiar voice that made them all wince. It was Kaji, of all people. "How unusual, I don't see any water cooler, but here you are all hanging out. You want to cut me in on what's happening here?"

The three of them winced, looked at each other - and reluctantly agreed. They had to fill him in on what had happened to them. As bizarre and impossible as it seemed, this was the best thing to do, in the end. Kaji listened to them, calmly, patiently, not judging, not saying much of anything really until they were done.

"That being the case, I know a room that's not being used right now," Kaji said. "How about you wait in there until I can get the Commander? I think he'd like to hear about this..."

That did seem pretty sensible. Gendo Ikari was a busy man. Too busy to see his son, so he'd had to ask Misato to take care of him. Hyuga had a twinge of jealousy at that thought, which got the other two glowering at him. What? Misato is - Very pretty, with a great body. She's also a very nice person!

The three of them were a little distracted by that little internal debate. Hard to blame them. This made it easy for Kaji to lead them along to an empty room, where they got into a little internal debate, making it super easy for him to simply lock them in - so he could stand outside and wait for Misato and Ritsuko to get here.

Heh. He didn't even need to call them or anything! Together the three of them would be able to corrupt these three, maybe even make them subservient to the pilots. Oh. Wait a minute. Ritsuko herself was playing interference with Gendo right now. A status report on the pilots, and on her own discovery around whatever happened to them. He seemed very interested in that... which, given his general motivations, sounded about right to him!

Which left him waiting for Misato to arrive. What should we do, babe? Well, I don't know. Hyuga has a very obvious crush on me, but I don't like him that way. It's the glasses right? No, no, he's just... not my type. He doesn't do anything for me. So the glasses? Sure Kaji, it's the glasses. Urgh, what a group for Maya to pair up with. She has no sexual interest in either of them, another has basically emotionally shut himself off from everyone else, and the other one stares at my butt when he thinks I won't notice. Yeah, chicks always notice when you stare at them, no matter how discrete you think you're being... You think that, but you don't actually care do you?

By the time Misato got there she was in a bit of a dark mood. You could tell because she was forcing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.

"Hello. Kaji. Is. It. Okay. if we. Talked. In. There?" Misato asked, and every single other worker who happened to be on this hallway turned the fuck around. Which worked out well for them, but it wasn't on purpose. Honest.

"They've been together alone for about fifteen minutes by now," Kaji said. "You got lost on the way didn't you?"

"This place is a freaking labyrinth!" Misato threw up her hands, her eye twitching maniacally. "Even with our... thing! I kept on getting turned around! I half expected to run into a half man half beast on the way here!"

"It's funny, you only noticed that could be seen as a jab at me half way through saying it," Kaji said. He swung the keys out, ignored the 'shut up Kaji' blaring in his head, and unlocked the door. "Come on, let's get to sexually corrupting -"

Except, upon opening the door, it turned out they'd been a little late. You see, things had taken a bit of a turn in there. Aoba was on his hands and knees, Maya was in the corner, and Hyuga... seemed to be pegging Aoba while Maya was watching and masturbating.

"Hah! Hah! Ahaha, so that's what it feels like~" Maya moaned, and all three of them had their eyes roll up into their heads. On seeing this, Misato and Kaji quickly closed the door again, locked it, and stood there for a long minute, trying really hard not to listen to the sounds going on within.

"So... what now?" Misato asked.

"You're asking me?" Kaji asked, shrugging and shaking his head. "If I work that out, I'll be sure to tell you."
