    This is a simple quest. No stats, no objectives, just you being a terrible father to your son. Note that this quest is based around making light of child abuse and being a terrible parent, which is why I took it off of SB.

    INDEX
    1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,


    Sometimes, you think that maybe you aren’t cut out to be a father. The rest of the time you know that you aren’t. That said, there are certainly worse parents to raise your son. Perhaps. . . no. Maybe . . . probably not. What about . . . yes.

    You are absolutely sure that you’d have done a better job raising Shinji Ikari than Yui’s step-brother.

    As you stare down at your son, your not-all-that-impressive looking fourteen year old son, you are suddenly reminded that you did let your wife’s step-sibling raise your son for you while you were laying the grounds for Third Impact.

    “You will pilot the Evangelion.” You say so calmly, reasonably, but the look he gives you- it’s like Shinji’s trying to figure out how to say no politely.

    It’s worse than you thought. They taught him manners.

    Perhaps you should have taken some time off, maybe just stuck him in a room in the geofront and Nerv’s policy books like you did with Rei. Maybe you could have stuck them in the same room?

    Your musing is interrupted when Shinji shouts back at you. “No! I won’t do it!” There’s that spine! You were starting to think he wasn’t an Ikarii at all, with all that hemming and stammering he was doing.

    Well, you’ve got a few options here.

    You could just lay down the law with your hand, except that didn’t exactly make you obey your father, and you’re not sure you’d survive the fall if you jumped out of the Pribnow Box to get to Unit 01’s access ramp. So scratch that plan. That leaves. . . verbal manipulation, being honest, and blackmail.

    Mmm. Blackmail, has it ever failed you?

    No, no it hadn’t. A least when Yui wasn’t involved, anyway.

    Convince Shinji to get in the robot
    [] Send out the injured clone based on his mother.
    [] Play the parent card. Threaten to ground him.
    [] Be honest, lay your cards on the table, and don’t lie.
    [] Bribe him with what he wants.
    [] Promise to be more active in his life.

    And it’s best to have a backup plan.

    [X] This is important. Make sure he knows it's important, even beyond the fact that the giant monster stomping this day will kill everyone. Then, grudgingly, negotiate. You'll eat dinner with him once a week. And pretend to care about his stupid teenager angst problems.
    [X] If that fails, deploy Rei. She'll probably die from the combat, sure, but you have an entire swimming pool full of Rei. Shinji doesn't know that, though.

    fuck that shit, actually using logic and shit pales in comparison to the lulz possible with the other votes.

    we can still be terrible though, so long as Shinji doesn't want to be awesome.

    If we have to waste a dinner a week on him, can we at least invite Rei, and ignore him in favor of her?

    Also, changing to:
    [X] Remind him that you built a giant robot for him to pilot, and that this makes you a good father. Then question his masculinity and 'coolness' as a fourteen-year-old boy who doesn't want to engage in mecha battles.
