[It really is dead in here, but Scott doesn't mind at all. It's better that way, less distractions, and maybe Junpei will continue to feel comfortable about all this when it's just the two of them hanging out. No worry about people judging or whatever shit, although the only other 'people' in this place are Etrayans and... okay, there's probably a few assholes that would chime in on stuff. On the whole though? Probably not.
Still, better this way.
He easily slides into the booth with him and Scott casually opens the menu, though he really doesn't pay much attention to the items offered. It's just more of that feeling normal thing, even if things are crap for them.]
A team name?
[It's not a bad idea... having an official name for their little group of teenage fighters. Or whatever. Scott leans back against his seat, actually putting some thought into what they could call themselves.]
Has to roll off the tongue, man. But something memorable too. Easy to say.
[And there's no hiding his snort hearing Junpei's suggestion.] And something that's cool, not giving the impression that we're just a group of misfits. And I guess we have to decide what we want our team to be, mostly just fighting together as a group?
[ Ouch. Critical hit. Junpei dramatically places a hand against his chest when Scott punches the point of it needing to be something cool. Thoroughly and completely rejecting Mischieviants. But Junpei's back to smiling only a moment later. ]
Fighting's cool and all, but I don't want a team that's full on assault and no defense. It's great to be a fantastic slugger, but the real MVPs can play in the field, too!
[ He lowers his menu with a slight sigh. ]
Truth is, we don't know what this place is gonna throw at us next. So we need a crew that can have each others back no matter what. Whether that's on the field or just as friends. Maybe we can make a group chat or something where we can check in on each other during missions if we get separated? Or go one step further and have our own walkies. Just in case the network goes down.
[ Junpei looks at Scott, tilting his head curiously. ]
You run any of this by Maelle yet?
[ Or is this just a team of two so far? Two Very Cool Dudes, of course. But still....that's less of a team and more of a partnership. ]
[He turns just a little more serious as they move away from the easygoing topic of naming their group. It's a big thing, it feels like, setting a definition and goal and purpose for what they want to do. It's not just playing around, not when they've been brought to this place to save the multiverse and whatever. They're sent on actual missions with real people getting hurt and worse. Even if they can't always be together on missions, it's best to still have this group too... if just to check in on each other.
Junpei reaching out to him in the middle of the night isn't something he's going to forget in the future.]
We can see if someone can make us walkies, or maybe a place here would have usable ones. But you're right, Junpei, it's not just about fighting but checking in on each other, whether it's before, during, or after each mission.
[Scott has the mutants and Maelle has her friends from the Expedition, but he wonders if Junpei has any group like that...? It's a thought that buries into his mind.]
I haven't run this by Maelle yet, but I think she'd be cool to join. But if we're both in and we both have someone in mind, that at least makes 4 of us.
