Scary News out of Tokyo-3 is a live web roleplay of Neon Genesis Evangelion which unfolded in Real Time throughout the latter half of AD 2015, the same stretch of time covered by the series. With one or two notable exceptions, it does not directly follow the main cast. Rather, it takes the perspective of a motley assortment of NERV insiders, reporters, intelligence agents, politicians, and web wizards — in other words, the kind of people who would have access to an online forum post-Second Impact — watching the story from the outside, so to speak. Wild conspiracy, in-depth world-building, and eldritch horror combine with paranoia and shout-outs to make a gumbo of drama and hilarity well worth reading. It is also surprisingly accessible to those who are not familiar with NGE, since the events are reported on from the perspective of the public and those who do know what's going on can't talk.The roleplay itself can be viewed here while out of character discussion and planning can be found here.WARNING: Given the presence of SPOILERS for Neon Genesis Evangelion, anyone who has not watched the series reads this page at his or her own risk. | |

As the Good Book Says... | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_2439b588 | comment |
As the Good Book Says...: Late in the game several posters, especially Arizona and chiasaur11, begin making biblical allusions, particularly when Kaworu makes his entrance. When shit really hits the fan, Arizona graduates from biblical quotes (some real, some mangled or made-up) to dead-accurate Pink Floyd lyrics. And then the Beatles during Instrumentality itself; LibraryLass's final message takes up the Pink Floyd references. | |

Different World, Different Movies | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_258a5cfe | comment |
Different World, Different Movies: Played straight in some aspects, averted in others. Disney's production schedule was disturbed by Second Impact, but LibraryLass's rant on the arrested development of Second Impact survivors indicates that The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Brave, and Frozen still exist, as do the Transformers film series, My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Steven Universe (which started out as a wildly successful comic book in this timeline) and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. John Carpenter's filmography ended in 1998 with John Carpenter's Vampires. He survived Second Impact, but before he could get back to filmmaking he was murdered by a gang of lunatics who thought his Prince of Darkness had predicted the apocalypse. Pacific Rim is a manga co-created by Guillermo del Toro and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. And Hideaki Anno is still an animator, but the show that made his reputation is Kushana, a television spinoff of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. (Reality Subtext: Anno actually was one of the lead animators on Nausicaa; his work on the God Warrior sequence can be seen as an early antecedent to NGE.) | |

| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_3bce9346 | comment |
Ragnarök Proofing: A certain extent, almost literally, with the infrastructure that runs the web. This is why automated contingency messages from some characters post after they are tanged, along with a few message fragments emerging from Instrumentality. Slybrarian and chiasaur11 imply that they've each got some kind of contingency in place that will allow them to survive and wait out Instrumentality. It probably doesn't speak in their favor that the posts in which they reveal this are their last posts in the thread. | |

Noodle Incident: Many are mentioned in passing, thanks to the events of post-Second Impact history not being known to the reader — the Colorado River War, for example (all we know of it is that Needles, California was devastated and Hoover Dam was blown up). There's also the "Invasion of '02". We're told enough in passing to put together a story of food rioters from Chicago and Detroit trying to force their way across the Canadian border and into Toronto, but that's about it. | |

Fantastic Religious Weirdness | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_47f524ff | comment |
Fantastic Religious Weirdness: Second Impact did a number on religions. The people who get most mention are the Scientologists. Some are normal(ish), many are Affably Evil Ruthless Modern Pirates, and some — like the Cruisist splinter faction — are certifiably insane. IkariFanboy/Kaworu Nagisa has some very strange ideas that the posters explain away as due to his upbringing in a Gnostic sect. | |

| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_47fea76b | comment |
Butt-Monkey: Fireballed Mage, thanks to a Running Gag where an Angel attack wipes out his workplace every time he gets a new job. This gag culminates in him becoming the pilot for the boat that floats in the LCL sea in Terminal Dogma. Just before Kaworu's attack. The last post in the thread is a corrupted copy of his resumé. Draco Light winds up getting locked in the bathroom during Angel attacks several times in a row. At first he's annoyed by it, but changes his mind after it saves his life during Armisael's attack. And then he gets shot when the JSSDF invades the Geofront, and crawls into the same bathroom to die. | |

Paper-Thin Disguise | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_48b9731f | comment |
Paper-Thin Disguise: No prizes for guessing who ZeroGirl00 is. Especially as she gives away knowledge that only a deep NERV insider would have, and frequently talks about Rei Ayanami in I Have This Friend fashion. Ironically, in-universe the disguise DOES work. Opinion varies on whether "she" is Ritsuko, Shinji, or someone else entirely; it takes months before anyone thinks it could be Ayanami, and even then nobody believes it until she outright admits it. Averted with IkariFanboy, who doesn't even try to hide his identity when he shows up. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The first few dozen pages contain all sorts of weirdness — players having whole conversations out of character, explicit references to events that haven't happened yet — that gets filtered out as the thread goes on. | |

Spy Fiction | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_50b1855d | comment |
Spy Fiction: Several posters, including Kreuzritter, 0Megabyte, and chiasaur11, are intelligence officials or secret agents for one organization or another. There are frequent references to Kaji's status as a NERV Double Reverse Quadruple Agent, and (on rare occasions) cryptic messages from one spy to another. | |

Crazy-Prepared | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_50f66629 | comment |
Crazy-Prepared: Shadowjack turns into this after a frightening close call during Matarael's attack. Shadowjack also programs a Dead Man's Switch macro into his computer to leave a message in the thread in case he doesn't check in for a few days — even though he doesn't think he'll actually need it. The Dead Man's Switch activates again on 27 December — by which time Instrumentality is underway. He also detects the gas when NERV arrests him, and actually manages to get a gas mask on before they come in to taze him. Kaji has a dead man's switch of his own; the news of his death triggers the release of stolen classified material on NERV and SEELE to a small number of people in influential government positions. One goes to Arizona — but he's already resigned his office when it arrives, and it serves no purpose but to speed up his Sanity Slippage. | |

Not Himself: Shortly after chiasaur11 leaves a post that's incredibly blunt and cynical even for him, he makes another post panicking and insisting that the previous message wasn't from him. ZeroGirl00's personality seems to undergo a change after she almost dies in Armisael's attack; she becomes more forthright and less reserved, and winds up finally admitting — on a sudden impulse — that she's really Rei Ayanami. | |

Sanity Slippage | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_62434fe2 | comment |
Sanity Slippage: Common among those who learn too much. Frequently combined with I Need a Freaking Drink. Arizona is the most obvious example; after receiving a document outlining the truth about the SEELE/NERV conspiracy, his messages start becoming even more drunkenly garbled, he starts having dreams of Third Impact, and during Impact itself completely devolves into a religious/lyrical rant ending with him repeating the outro to "Hey Jude" before he is Tanged. | |

Unfortunately, he has no time to read previous updates or stick around to read replies, so he misses ZeroGirl00 informing everyone of the fact on the previous page. | |

Freak Out: Pretty much everyone who isn't dead by the time Instrumentality starts goes through this. Earlier on, Shadowjack goes through one after seeing Matarael at very close quarters (it comes over a mountaintop right in front of him). Several seconds of his memory are completely blanked out, and he comes home with a bad case of the shakes and doesn't expect to sleep too well after the experience. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The remains of Antarctica, described in vivid detail by 0Megabyte. A red sea, barely still water, sterile of all living things, with pillars of salt rising hundred of meters into the air. The former NERV Second Branch (housed at Area 51) becomes this as well, after the accident that destroys it. | |

Alternate History: Second Impact was the point of divergencenote (unless you count the discovery of metabiology), and a lot has changed.

Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Seemingly played straight at first but averted later on: no mention is made of either of Hikari's sisters at first. It is later revealed that they live with their mother, which results in them being even more Out of Focus than in the original anime (where they didn't even get canonical names or appearances until the 20th anniversary of the series.) | |

Hope Spot: As to the world as a whole getting better. Many characters in the know see the development of autopiloted EVAs to be the key to winning the Angel War, and minor details such as the defeat of the Cruisists in the background imply there is hope for the post-2nd-impact world. Unfortunately, we know how this all ends. | |

invoked Moral Event Horizon: Consensus among the posters is that Gendo crossed his with his horrendous botch of a strategy for the fight against Bardiel. Nobody, not even the posters from NERV, is willing to defend him after that; Drogo suggests, only half joking, that a group of NERV security agents ought to arrest Gendo and hold him down while Shinji kicks him in the crotch. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Scary News out of Tokyo-3 (Roleplay) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Numerous, usually contributing to the world building. Susan Calvin (from Robot Series) was a colleague of Yui Ikari. Egon Spengler (from Ghostbusters) is named as one of the founding minds of metaphysical biology. Along with Doctor Vahlen — who is revealed by ZeroGirl00 to be Asuka's stepmother. The events of Who Goes There? and The Thing (1982) were both actual Antarctic expeditions, though how much the public knows about them is unclear. At the time of the Katsuragi Expedition in 2000, Gendo compared it to the ill-fated expedition from At the Mountains of Madness. The scary thing is how much sense it makes, given the backstory of the Elder Things. On the anniversary of Second Impact, a band made up of NERV members (called Battle School) sets up in the street and performs Pink Floyd's The Wall in its entirety. Highlights include a NERVite dressing up as Gendo to play The Teacher and The Judge, Maya Ibuki singing lead on "Comfortably Numb", off-duty security officers charging onstage in their uniforms during "In The Flesh", and the retracted towers suddenly beginning to rise right behind the band at the end of "The Trial". Most of Arizona's posts during the UN/JSSDF invasion of the Geofront are liberally peppered with (or even entirely consist of) Pink Floyd lyrics, as well. LibraryLass also gets in on the action when Instrumentality hits. The investigation into Ramiel's corpse is invaded by an unkempt scientist and a teenage boy who show up waving official-looking clearance papers. The scientist takes scrapings from Ramiel, crushes them into powder, and snorts them. It turns out that Rick Sanchez is legitimately connected with NERV's previous incarnation, GEHIRN. He was a friend and associate of Misato's father, and co-authored a top-secret paper (possibly on dimensional theory) with another GEHIRN employee referred to only as Dr. Freeman. Hino Rei and the Hikawa Shrine exist in this Tokyo, so it's probably an alternate universe where the Sailor Senshi failed to stop Second Impact for whatever reason. The Sailor Moon connection has now been elaborated on, and it's confirmed to take place after season 3. Yui Ikari studied at Mugen Academy and was on the hairy edge of being made into one of the Witches 5. The university did indeed go up in a horrible meta-bio "accident". And worse, it's implied that there's a connection between what Gendo has been up to and what happened to Dr. Tomoe — who is himself considered a crackpot far ahead of his time, much like Tesla. NERV's auto-censor software is named, of course, for the protagonist from Catch-22. It includes a self-diagnostic that crashes the computer when it finds a program fault — in other words, running the error-catching feature only works properly when there aren't any errors to catch. The U.S. Department of Defense uses Winston 8.4. It also redacts documents, but does so by compiling a new file and then deleting the original. People have lost vital materials this way, thanks to not keeping backups. One of the player characters quotes from A Song of Ice and Fire, and mentions that it was never completed thanks to Second Impact; as a result of George R. R. Martin's death, neither the finished series nor Game of Thrones exists in this universe. A parallel version of Breaking Bad exists, called Angel's Fall and starring Bryan Cranston. In this version of the story, his character isn't dying of cancer — he's just desperate to keep his family alive and safe in the wake of Second Impact. There is mention of a pessimistic and therefore alarmingly accurate horoscope from a London newspaper, dated 13 September 2000 (the date of Second Impact). The regular astrologer was on vacation and convinced a certain friend to fill in for him; in one of the Contrived Coincidences that seem to follow this friend around, he correctly predicted that every Pisces who read the paper was about to die. Slybrarian works for a NERV contractor, Weyland Industries. John Titor is, in this universe, claiming to be from the world of Rebuild of Evangelion. There's a reference to the Mitakihara City hurricane of 2011. Further elaborated on, in this universe Madoka Magica exists as a visual novel, the climax of which is set in the middle of a hurricane that was an actual event from recent history. Whether there is more going on is not specified, but it's been made clear that the premise of harvesting Soul Power is entirely feasible, and probably inspired some aspects of this supposed version of the story. It's strongly implied that Gendo Ikari may have attended Ohtori Academy in the past (and that he may have been responsible for the massive fire there). Also that Akio is probably a member of SEELE. 0Megabyte gets into a relationship with Nanami, then — for reasons not made clear — is forced, in his capacity as an intelligence agent, to assassinate her. At ZeroGirl's request, Kreuzritter hunts up a photograph of Yui Ikari to demonstrate the close resemblance between her and Rei Ayanami, but he is quick to note that it means nothing and is probably sheer coincidence — a similar search for Shinji revealed that he was a dead ringer for a famous female circus acrobat from the 1880s. The Fireballed Mage's list of aborted careers — which dates back to before Second Impact — includes a brief stint at Umbrella Corporation. Remarking on British politics, posters bemoan the fact that King Henry IX (Prince Harry in our world) is an Upper-Class Twit and Prime Minister Roger Waters is an ineffective figurehead... Serial Experiments Lain comes up fairly frequently, both references to computer technology and to Accella being the weirdest drug on the market in Tokyo-3. Rei apparently takes Accella medicinally for some of her issues. Titus Crow gets a reference in the form of the Wilmarth Foundation, which moves in the same circles as NERV (and helped to fund Shadowjack's embedded reporting). The rumored Fifth Child after Shinji's disappearance is named Alberto Minoleta, after the guy who made a fake golden ticket in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. One of The Fireballed Mage's failed job prospects includes learning that GENOM isn't hiring. Then there's this from Pip: Apparently Abstergo Industries is part of SEELE. When Fireballed Mage applies there, he's told to run for it if they ask for tissue samples. Lilith's manifestation as a giant woman is retroactively hinted to be one to Steven Universe by 0Megabyte in an out-of-character post months after the fact. | |
