Colony 101: Market

Both Jason and Melanie noticed the girl's spirit's drop a bit, and Jason looked back at his sister, glaring at her a tiny bit. Melanie looked confused but said nothing, leaving the oldest teen to get the girl on his arm to feel better.

"Heh, don't worry, heck we don't even know what we're gonna do when we get back. Sure we'll figure out something though, and so will you guys. I can't really guarantee you a room at our place when we get one--since Kanna may chop us all into little bits--but I can promise you we'll get you guys something! After all we all need to stick together right?"


Colony 101: Outside Manor

Kanna paused for a moment, hearing Samuel's words, before shaking them off with a simple shrug. It was true, she was lucky to have her children just for the fact that she didn't have them until she had already escaped. It wasn't until she was good and safe (for the most part) that she even met their father. She had heard rumors that NERV liked to take infants from their families, raising them into weapons. Obviously it was true considering Galv was one of them.

"Remind me to find you a really little violin, i'll play you a song" she taunted without looking back at him, hoping to bother him. It was just her nature. Plus she still was very annoyed with all three men behind her.

“...Help testify against NERV...Like I'm going to,” Galv spoke up, “You and...Walter. Strike a deal, so you won't get locked up or anything. Then you still have your pay, right? That should be enough to get on by, at least until we can all find something else we can do.”

Erin paused a little, then smiled, looking a bit happier, “Yah...maybe we can...Have a plan there. Something to do.”

The girl smiled happily now, “I hope Walter likes the idea too...”

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

Samuel shook slightly, then turned, back to the tree with the device. He slammed his fist into it, hard, the entire tree shaking, leaving a dent in the metal. His hand seemed fine though, as he pulled it back.

Ethan just watched, a little frown on his face, then headed after Kanna. He really couldn't think of a way to comfort his half-brother. They weren't exactly close, growing up.

Samuel shook slightly, then punched the tree again, the dent growing bigger.

NERV had given him the power to protect. He was indestructible. But then NERV managed to hurt him anyways. They had killed his wife and newborn son when he refused to fight though...He never wanted someone else to go through that. He couldn't bare it, if there was a way he could stop it...

Jason gave a shrug "Don't worry, if he doesn't like it we'll just make him! He won't have much choice when we get back to Earth! It's either straighten up out on the streets. We won't let that happen though! You guys will probably have to go to school or something though...I'm just about done, but you'll have two more years. It's fun though, very...Social!"

Melanie continued walking next to Galv, she could see the market coming into view once more, as well as the car that Felix had brought them in.

"I hope he's okay..." Melanie said with a bit of a frown. She looked to Galv and smiled at the boy. "We'll be in school too!" Melanie declared

Colony 101: Outside Manor

Kanna could tell she had hit a nerve with Samuel without even looking back. She couldn't help but grin.

"The kid's probably better off dead anyways, you don't look much like the daddy type do you? Anyways, if you want one you can take one of the ones that keep tagging along with me. Poor boy, cry me a river."

“Isn't there like a...test I could take, to get out of school? I already got a lot of education in NERV after all...” Erin said, tapping her chin thoughtfully, “Not sure how well I'd do in school...”

“I hope he's okay too...” Galv said, looking a bit worried. However, he turned to Melanie now, with the mention of school.

“That sounds like...fun,” he smiled, “What's school like anyways?”

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“...He was a baby, you...you...insensitive little (smurf),” Samuel said. Despite the censorship, the word he really used should be fairly clear. “He was a baby...barely alive in this world. I never even got to see him.”

He snorted slightly, shaking his head, “It's amazing your kids seem nice. With you as their mother, I'm surprised they haven't either run away or tried to yet...”

"You could probably try to skip a grade, maybe both, Melanie did it to get into high school." He suposed with a smile, as the reached Felix's car and leaning against it. "It would just take some studying, after all the stuff you learn in NERV is probably a bit different than the stuff you learn in high school. You pass PE for sure though!" he gave a small laugh.

"School is pretty fun, you spend most of the day sitting in a class while they teach you stuff but then you get an hour to hang out and eat. It's nice, but kinda hard sometimes!"

"You all would definitely meet a lot of people there, it'll probably be a bit different for you since you'll be surrounded by kids all day" Jason added.

"But don't worry! Most are nice, and the others...Well you just ignore them!" Melanie concluded with a smile.

Really school was one of her favorite times, though she found socializing a bit hard considering she was a bit younger than most. She often found herself rushing through the halls to meet her brother and tagging along with him instead of meeting people her own age. This often got some cold responses from Jason's friends (who had a much different personality since he had been a 4th year while she was just a 1st) but he never seemed to hold it against the girl.

Colony 101: Outside Manor

Kanna raised a brow, but didn't turn back.

"Then you really shouldn't miss him then, after all how do you miss something you never even saw. Just pretend he didn't exist, and that's the end of your pathetic problems. Or you could whine and cry, wondering if where they dumped the kid's body until you go crazy. Heck they probably set the thing ablaze so does it really even matter. Too bad."

She gave a shrug and continued "And they like to run away, sure i'll give you that. Sure i'm cruel, dark, horrible, b*tch of a mother, but i'm not the one punching trees either. I know how to keep cool. My children respect me."

“True...but I'd still like to try and test out of it if I could,” Erin said, “You know...then I could spend some more time with you, eh?”

She grinned at Jason again.

Galv continued to smile at Melanie, holding her hand, “Well, I know I'll have one friend at least! And that's all I need.”

He squeezed Melanie's hand for a second again, smiling.

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“Respect...? Really? No. Respect is when you like someone. What you have is fear. They fear you,” Samuel answered, glaring at the back of Kanna's head. “Maybe I lost my kid, but what do you think will happen when your kids grow up and don't need you anymore? They won't have any reason to put up with you. They'll leave you all alone.”

Colony 101: Market

Melanie blushed and looked to the side a bit, smile still on her face. Jason, noticing the girl groaned a bit. "Well if you aren't in school, you'll probably have to get a job." Jason informed Erin "And trust me, that's much worse! Trust me, I've had to do both and it's no fun. Earth isn't too fun in that aspect."


-Colony 101: Outside Manor-


Kanna grinned slightly, still facing the other way. "Trying to guilt me will just make you look like a pathetic child you know. And if they want to leave, let them. Both of them will get themselves killed trying to think like you lot, and if they do so be it. They'll end up like you filthy kid and wife; so is the cruel world we live in."

Okay, so Kanna didn't want her children dead...She would do anything to protect them. But she was also to proud to say otherwise.

"Being a hero gets you killed, you should know that. But obviously you didn't right? Trying to be all noble got your kid and wife thrown in the burner right? Probably something like that. Shouldn't be noble unless you have a better plan than hoping for the best. Oh well you turned out fine though, can't say so much for the smoldering pile of ashes which is probably your baby somewhere."

“A job...? I suppose I would at some point...But I still have pay from NERV for a bit, like Galv here,” Erin shrugged, “I'm sure I can find something to be good at. After all, I can control air. That has to be useful.”

Galv merely blushed back at Melanie, leaning a little closer to her.

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“...I can't be killed. Not anymore...” Samuel said quietly, “I get to live with my actions for a very, very long time...”

However, as Kanna finished talking, Samuel shook again, closing his eyes tightly. He wanted to fight, attack this woman who spoke like his dead wife and child were nothing.

“...I'll help make sure the kids are okay...But after that...don't expect me to hang around. I really don't know why I even bothered,” Samuel said, and walked off, heading for the market now, “Try not to get those kids killed...They seem like a good bunch...”

Jason smiled, laughing again "I guess you have a point, it really shouldn't be too hard to find you something. Eh we'll worry about all of that when we finally get there!" Jason looked to one of Erin's hands and pulled a piece of hard candy from her bag. A cinnamon disc.

He plopped it in his mouth and looked back at Melanie and Galv again.

"Think mom is gonna be mad?" Melanie asked

"Mel, she's always mad, i'll handle it if she is. Don't worry"

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

Kanna watched Samuel go, looking rather bored with it all. "Well that was quick" she said boredly, twisting a strange of hair around her finger. "Last time I checked, men out of NERV were a lot tougher than that. No wonder they got bored with him"

She really didn't feel guilt.

Erin grinned again at Jason. It seemed to be a happy coincidence that he liked cinnamon as well.

Maybe she could try making something cinnamon for him? Then again, she didn't really know how to cook...

“We haven't done anything though...Well...we haven't...Sorta,” Galv said, then motioned to himself and Melanie, “No making out, at least.”

“Maybe later though...” Galv thought to himself...Well, he was a teenage boy...

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“He is tough...” Ethan said, “In more ways then one...” he frowned a little watching his half-brother walk off, “And to think...I never knew I had a nephew.”

With that, he shrugged, and walked alongside Kanna and presumably Rica for now.

Jason was careful not to choke on his candy as Galv spoke. "Well either way, don't say anything to her. Knowing her she's probably mad at something or someone by now. She tends to get worked up over stupid things."

Melanie frowned a bit but nodded. She knew Kanna just as well as Jason did, and that was probably a smart move. Their mother was...Complicated to say the least. The teenage girl sighed.


-Colony 101: Outside Manor-


Kanna's frown returned and for a moment she wondered what it would have been like if the tables had been turned and she in fact had lost her children in such a way. She instantly shook the idea from her mind.

"If you're going to get all emotional too then you can join him" Kanna stated. "That goes for you too Rica. The sooner I and my children are out of here the better..."

“I wasn't planning on it...” Galv said. He knew that letting Kanna know about anything he did with Melanie, even just holding her hand and buying her candy, would result in Kanna trying to stab him. Or shoot him. Or set him on fire. Or anything painful.

“What should we do while we wait then? Maybe we can find a high spot and find Felix?” Galv wondered.

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“...No...we weren't exactly...close, growing up. Different fathers, for one,” Ethan answered Kanna, “And getting choked up isn't in my repertoire. I never had kids. Hadn't found anyone who I thought would be a strong enough mother for them yet...”

"That should work" Jason decided, looking around in effort to find a place that he could get a good enough look. He looked over to the hood of Felix's car and gave a grin before walking over to Melanie and Galv. He pointed at Melanie. "If I could borrow her for a moment" he said with a smile, taking his sister, lifting her carefully by the waist, and putting her on the hood of the car so she could stand. Melanie, though usually too short to see much of anything, had a pretty decent view of the market from her spot. She tried to spot Felix.



-Colony 101: Outside Manor-


"Well count yourself lucky" Kanna decided "Children are more trouble than they are worth half the time"

Galv paused, watching as Melanie stood on the hood of the car. He glanced around, realizing he was quite short himself, and climbed up as well to look. After all, with his red hair, he should be easy to spot on the car, if Felix was looking for him.

“Be careful Melanie...Don't slip!” he said, making sure she wouldn't fall.

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

“Ahhh...but children are how one passes on their genes. It's how we leave our presence in an ever changing universe,” Ethan smiled, “And I, for one, would want to make sure my genes are matched with someone else of a high caliber.”

Ethan was, however, neither stupid enough nor insane enough to continue along with this train of thought to Kanna.

“As it is, I do hope to someday have a child...And anyone who would threaten it will have their heart removed and shown to them before they die.”

Colony 101: Market-

Melanie smiled as Galv climbed up next to her, the two trying to catch a glimpse of Felix if he was anywhere nearby.

“Be careful Melanie...Don't slip!”

Melanie blushed, turning her head to look in another direction. Galv was just as concerned as Jason had always been for her. While she didn't want everyone to have to trouble themselves worrying about her she did like the warm feeling it always gave her. She was always safe when those two were around her. The pink to her cheeks didn't go away.

"See anything?" Jason asked the two.

"Nope, I wonder how far he is in there" Melanie said, turning carefully on the hood. Hopefully felix wouldn't mind the fact that two teens were standing on his car...

-Colony 101: Outside Manor-

Kanna rolled her eyes, that was such a masculine reason to justify having children, beside the genes she knew the fact that children almost always carried the father's name probably had something to do with it.

Truthfully Kanna had no clue why women wanted children. She remembered as a teenager she decided she wanted a family because she wanted something that was just hers. After leaving NERV she really didn't have anything that she could call her own. She didn't have luck finding her parents, and she didn't know anyone where she had ended up. She wanted a baby so she would have something for herself to take care of and look after.

It was a really a stupid reason Kanna decided, but somehow it led to having a son. Later she regretted making such a naive choice (she had definitely not been ready to take care of a baby when she didn't even know how to make actual meal that didn't consist of powder or mix) but didn't regret the fact that she had something that was hers. Even if she was still running from NERV, or if Jason's father was even less ready for parenthood than she was, and even if this crying baby was going to drive her crazy she still loved her child more than life itself.

“As it is, I do hope to someday have a child...And anyone who would threaten it will have their heart removed and shown to them before they die.”

Kanna rolled her eyes again. Well that was a nice mental image.

"How noble of you" she said sarcastically.
