Eh, everyone sort of sucked there.

[As in, Scott didn't really have friends at his old school.

Sure, guess there were some other guys he'd sort of hang out with here and there, but he doesn't find himself missing them at all. It was just a dumb school in the suburbs that he didn't really click with, so of course he had to cause a little trouble when he was feeling particularly pissed off and speak with the principal as a result of that. Whatever. It doesn't matter anymore.]


I don't miss it.
laserguy: (okay not bad)

[Scott's face visibly scrunches upon hearing that, especially the 'guy taking pictures of Kotone in her gym uniform.' That's some real weirdo behavior, hopefully he got punched or something because freak!! But besides that and the bullying, it sounds like her school is pretty cool, especially if it had a view of the ocean.

He looks over the town once more.]


Hm? Is there a reason why you aren't doing your third year there?

[JUST. CASUAL.]

[Oh. Okay. Maybe she had to move or something? That happens a lot, but... Scott bites his lip, suddenly feeling like he's missing something. It's not that he thinks she's lying, but Kotone is also being really vague. She could've just said she moved, or maybe it is pretty personal??

Scott keeps his gaze focused on the town still, although he sounds serious, if just for a moment.]


It's okay if you don't want to tell me-- you can just say that.

[But he's moving on with this slight change in topic.] I actually haven't met Ken yet, but geez, you made him tell you all about the future? [He lightly ribs her.] Pretty sure that's against time laws.

[....?]

Why would I be sad?

[Scott asks, a light frown forming across him as his eyebrows furrow. It feels like an odd thing to hear and he tries to ignore the rising anxiety that builds in his chest. Maybe he's just taking things out of context, but it feels a little ominous hearing this.]
laserguy: (no party favors)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-01 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[This is actually happening, right? He didn't just step into a weird dimension where everything is fucked and Kotone is telling him that she's going to die. Scott isn't sure what's going on anymore, and how things went from innocent sandwich eating to this. His mouth parts slightly, although no words come out, not at first.]

...What?

[His voice comes off as shaky, almost in disbelief, like he's not sure if he heard her correctly.] What do you mean...?
laserguy: (we're seeing him again)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-01 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Kotone.

[He shifts his body so that he can directly look at her without turning his head as much. They can't just go back and pretend everything is normal after a comment like that. His mouth shifts into a small, if worried frown, wanting to hear more about this even if he won't like the answer. It's going to be stuck in his mind either way and it's better to know than not.

Right? He thinks so, at least. Even if he is afraid.]


What happened back home?
laserguy: (no i can't see)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-02 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[His mouth parts, but nothing comes out from Scott, not yet anyway. So... that's it? Kotone's dead back home, her life completely over before she even reaches adulthood? And that's fine?? Is he supposed to just accept this without fuss? Stare at the sky and go 'oh that's cool??']

F-fuck that! [He gets up from his seat, his face torn between anger and a growing despair that's difficult to push down. It's just easy to be mad about things, it's familiar, because that he's reacted for most of his life.] H-How can you be so accepting?!
laserguy: (i'm sorry)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-02 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
...No, I'm sorry, I just.

[Shame creeps up his chest when he sees the hurt on her face, because it's not like he's really mad at her. He's. Just. Upset!! Upset about the situation?? About everything she had to deal with?? About he can't change anything about it, which also sort of pisses him off, because he wants to help.

Just. What is he supposed to do? He can't do anything to help Kotone, someone that's grown to really care about. Scott pushes back the tears that threaten his eyes, instead curling his hands into fists as he tries to keep some sort of calm and lower the anger that was previously in his voice. Maybe if he at least controls some of his reactions, he won't make her feel worse.]


It's just not fair. Y-You shouldn't have to die, I don't want you to die...

[...This entire time, she's been so cheerful and upbeat and supportive, but she's been dead and he didn't even notice. If he was in her shoes, he'd be fucking pissed or at least far less responsible, but she is still giving it her best every day and acting like everything is fine. He doesn't know how she does it, and even now, she's trying to cheer him up, even though she's the one with the raw deal and shit.

His shoulders slump, and he doesn't even try to return her smile.]


...You don't have to act like it's fine, you know. I mean, I'd be screaming if I were you. [...] Like, I know you said it's no use crying about it and shit, but...

[Where is he going with this? He doesn't know.] ...Sorry, I probably just sound like an idiot.
laserguy: (i'm sorry)

[His eyes draw to the gun that's in her lap, remembering the time when he thought she was going to shoot herself in the head with it. It's still probably one of the scariest moments of his life, just thinking that a friend would do something like that, but it's something more.

It awakens her Personas... and also represents the acceptance of death, as she tells him now. Guess it makes sense, since they have to shoot themselves in the head for it to work, even if that's also fucked in a lot of ways.]


...It just seems so much for you to deal with. [Scott says quietly, but without any real protest. What can he say or do? She's accepted her fate and it seems sort of shitty to stomp on that any more that he's already done.] But I get it.

[No he doesn't.]
laserguy: (i'm sorry)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Is it really okay...? Scott doesn't think it is, and he feels like he disappointed Kotone in some way. He's not sure where things went south, okay, he knows, but it still makes his stomach clench uncomfortably, despite the fruit sandwich being amazing earlier. It's a feeling that has nothing to do with what he ate.]

I want to hang out with you still. [He does his best not to rub his arm or look entirely glum, because that's not what Kotone needs right now, right? She said she wants to enjoy her remaining days and she can't do that if he's being upset on her behalf. Scott bites his lip, trying his hardest to be as earnest as before.]

I like our time together. [At least he doesn't have to lie about that.]
laserguy: (still closing them)

[personal profile] laserguy 2023-09-04 06:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[The smallest of smiles reaches Scott upon hearing that. He's still not sure what to do with this particular topic and maybe it's just something to never bring up again, but is that fine? It could be, because who wants to talk about death and everything and its inevitability? Still, there's something uncomfortable that's settled in his chest that he can't fully get rid of. He can really only push it aside as he plops himself on the ground next to her, pretending to act like everything is just... normal.

He's good at that right? Pretending that everything is normal again. It's what he wanted to do with the other mutants and he can do it now.]


Definitely not as good as Star Wars, not even the third one. [He jokes lightly while staring up at the slowly moving clouds. With his glasses, it feels just a tad apocalyptic, but it's cool.] I'd get us popcorn, but too lazy to grab anything now.
