right. and sometimes, it can be pretty hard for those different personalities to mesh. i can't say my team was without its moments of friction.
[the fight Ryuji and Morgana had that nearly tore them apart comes immediately to mind]
but i'd say those moments can really strengthen those bonds, you know?
no subject
heh, you're telling me. there's been times where i wanted to kick peter's ass. he probably felt the same too. we've mostly been training so far in battle simulations, but even those things can get frustrating.
but yeah. if we can't tough it out through the hard stuff and only the easy things, then we won't make it.
no subject
i have faith in you guys.
peter is your friend who steals stuff, right? [how does he remember that when he was on hearts juice at the time] what's his code name?
no subject
[If just to prove that he can. And also steal some of his twinkies.]
and his codename is 'quicksilver.' yeah, all our names are kind of on the nose.
[Except for Jean, she hasn't picked one yet. Maybe Marvel Girl? But...]
no subject
[for HOARDING SNACKS away from his fellow teammate!!]
i like that one, too. quicksilver. it's snappy and evocative. what about the others?
no subject
[And he's like ten years older than him and the other mutants! Scott sometimes forgets that himself with the way Peter acts.]
just don't let him hear that ever, in fact, we're keeping this conversation between us. his ego doesn't need to be inflated. but my other teammates go by Storm and Nightcrawler. The last one is still trying to figure out her name.
no subject
what's a twinkie taste like? i've heard of them, but i've never had one.
[since they aren't really a common snack in Japan. he has probably only heard of their existence through all the American television he watches]
cyclops. storm. nightcrawler. quicksilver. you guys sound so cool.
what options does your last teammate have?
no subject
nah man, this is something you have to try for yourself. i can't tell you beforehand. it'd just fully ruin it. we'll find some in this casino.
[Not that Scott super loves Twinkies or anything, but principle of the matter. This is like another American icon, the same way Han Solo is.]
she was considering 'marvel girl,' but not sure she's sold on that. she has both telepathy and telekinesis, so probably something that's connected to those abilities.
no subject
now you're making it sound like some big secret. [HAH. . .] if you find one i'll trade you a tokyo banana for it.
[they are not the same thing, but hey! one cultural exchange for another, right?]
"marvel girl," huh. [yeah he can see why she isn't sold on it yet] i can't blame her for being picky. code names are serious business.
no subject
[Although all this talk about Twinkies is making him actually want one... maybe he'll grab a box for his room.]
yeah, doesn't quite have the same ring as the other names. i'd like to throw ideas at her and help out, but. haven't seen her in a while.
[...He really misses his friends now. MOVING ON:]
so all this talk about code names. you and your team must have them, right?
no subject
[duh, Scott!!]
[. . . the "haven't seen her in a while" comment throws Akira for a brief moment, but. . . he does get it. Scott has been here just a few months longer than Akira, and Akira is already missing the friends that haven't found their way to the resort]
[hashtag just leader things, he thinks]
mmyep. i'm joker, of course. then we have mona, skull, panther, fox, queen, oracle, and noir. those are our main members.
beyond that, there's also violet, sophie and wolf.
[. . .]
[the last text comes on its own, after a brief delay]
and crow.
no subject
you have quite a team.
[Joker, huh? Yeah Akira sure is one-- OKAY NO but huh, those are a wide variety of names. He notes how 'Crow' comes in later, wondering if there's something more there, but.]
do your codenames represent your abilities too?? or is there something else going on there?
no subject
[Scott cannot hear the affection in his words, but they drip from each letter like sugary syrup. Crow is a complicated story. . . but one that Akira isn't yet ready to tell. even if he doesn't feel right leaving that particular "member" of the "team" out]
we chose them based on our outfits, and what felt right in our hearts. i picked "joker" because it's the wild card in a deck of cards. it can be as low as a two, or as high as an ace, depending on what you need.
and that's what i do. i'm adaptable.
no subject
[He may not be able to hear Akira's tone or see his face, but Scott can still feel the affection from those words. Maybe because it's how he feels about his own team, but maybe even a little bit stronger. After all, they literally just became a team not too long ago and still working things out. He's sure that Akira has been with his group longer than him.]
guess that was pretty useful when you landed here. adapting to a whole sex casino out of nowhere. but i guess that's how leaders are supposed to be, right? adjusting to the situation the quickest so you can help your teammates out.
no subject
[as expected, Scott gets it]
if i wasn't not capable of reading the field and adjusting my strategies to help out my teammates, then i wouldn't be a very good leader.
no subject
[...It's actually kind of nice talking to another teen that leads a group. He hasn't had a conversation like this before in the casino.]
oh i forgot to ask, what is the name of your group?
no subject
[well. here it is!]
the phantom thieves of hearts.
no subject
so how does defeating shadows tie into being a phantom thief? i'm not quite following.
no subject
[he never elaborated on it, either!]
it's complicated. i DID tell you what shadows are, right?
no subject
[When will Scott ever let that go......] no, we didn't get that far yet. we were talking about our code names and everything, but this seems like a good time for you to explain.
no subject
[AKIRA WILL NEVER LIVE IT DOWN. . . not that he should]
and it's as good of a time than any. okay. so.
what do you know about carl jung?
no subject
i have no idea who that is.
[He... paid attention to school. Somewhat. Enough where he isn't outright failing, but definitely not doing amazing either.]
no subject
he's some guy who did a lot of writing on the human subconscious. where i come from, that writing refers to a whole separate world created from humanity's cognition. we call that place the metaverse, or the cognitive world.
shadows live in the cognitive world. they're created by the repressed desires and emotions of humans.
does that make sense so far?
no subject
right, everyone knows that.
[Scott you just said you had no idea.] so. there's another dimension in your world born from everyone's brain thoughts. with shadows and desires. and you have to kill them because too much is a bad thing??
no subject
everyone, huh? you can say you don't understand something if i get too far into the weeds, you know.
[this shit is complicated! it took him months to properly wrap his head around it]
and no, not exactly. it's not the amount that's the problem. humans are flawed creatures, so we all have desires, both good AND bad. desires are a necessary part of being alive.
but when those desires become DISTORTED. . . that's when the problems start.
