[Look, it's not because of his sentencing that he's making a message like this; he's been meaning to apologize to everyone that he hurt last month. Stupid Jerry and the stupid council had kicked him to high gear, but he definitely doesn't feel forced talking like this. Just. A little anxious and shit, because who wouldn't be?

Maybe it would be better if he just personally reached out to those that were affected, but honestly, some memories around that time are foggy. Kind of happens when you have a splitting headache from your powers while dealing with anger caused by corruption.]

Hey, uh, in case you didn't know, I was the one that destroyed the club building. [Kotone didn't mention it in her broadcast, because she's that kind of person, but he'll own up to it.] Thanks for everyone that's helping out with that, by the way. I'm gonna be working on rebuilding too. Can't have TWAT club without the building, right?

[Ha ha......]

Just wanted to also apologize for everything. Especially if I hurt you, I... I don't remember some of it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen and shit. So, uh.

[.....]

Just wanted to say that.

[SMOOTH AF. Just going to end the feed now.]

Comments

[laserguy]

[Great, thanks... at least it feels honest, so it's actually a little encouraging.]

Well, there's other clubs at the building, but mine's just a place where teens like me can just hang out. Maybe help each other out with our powers. I kind of formed it when I was newer to this world and everything.

[Yes, he formed a club to basically make friends and not feel like the only freak around here. Why say all that though.]

[thegtg]

Not bad, not bad. And what do you all do with your powers?

[try to break out of the system?? that's what gojo would like to do.]

[laserguy]

Uh... show them off, sometimes? I guess learn from each other when we can, especially if we have similar powers.

[Definitely not using them to break out of here.]

It's good to see what we can do, right?

[thegtg]

It's always good to know what you can do, and what your limits are.

[he says it cheerily, though, not like he's handing out advice.]

And once you all get a grip on how your powers work here, maybe we could work on busting out of here. Ever think of that?

[laserguy]

[...Cool?? It seems like they're in agreement??]

Wait, what? No? [...] You think we should just combine all our powers together and attack Jerry and the council? I feel like that's a bad idea, especially if we don't know the extent of what they can do and shit.

[...also he doesn't want to go home.]

[thegtg]

No, that's short-sighted. I think there must be some kind of barrier they pull us through to get here. Break through the barrier, get back to where you came from. Simple concept, right?

[laserguy]

Why do you think there's a barrier? They could just be bringing us here from our world through... magic or some super ability.

[Although, there's that weird 'progress bar' that Shinjiro mentioned. Like this place is some weird video game. If they break the simulation, would they just return back home...?]

Besides, the barrier would probably have to be at a place that no one can easily come across. Otherwise, one of us would've bumped into it already.

[thegtg]

Sure, we'd have to hunt for it. But I think it might be closer than we think. In the woods around Aldrip, or even on the streets. Just hidden above eye level.

[people appear from thin air and fall to the ground most of the time, right? that's his reasoning.]

[laserguy]

I feel like the barrier would be more well-hidden than that. Be stupid otherwise.

[He's so helpful, sorry Gojo--]

Besides, what if destroying the barrier just ends up killing everyone here? That would be even more stupid.

[thegtg]

Well aren't you just a little Debbie downer!

[he sounds amused, though.]

That'd be interesting, wouldn't it? Where would we all go when we died?

[laserguy]

[Interesting is one way to put it...]

I'm not spending the afterlife with you.

[thegtg]

I think you'll find that from a certain point of view, you're already spending the afterlife with me!

[laserguy]

[There's a loud, painful groan coming from Scott's end.]

Dude, please don't say that. I actually kind of enjoy being here-- minus Jerry and other shit.

[thegtg]

Better than where you came from?

[laserguy]

Yeah.

[The answer comes quickly-- maybe a little too quickly. Even Scott frowns at himself, backpedaling a little as memories of his brother and Xavier's float in his mind. He still misses them-- it's not like never wants to see them again.]

I mean, I like the friends I have here. They're cool. [...] Also no school and everything. The best part.

[thegtg]

Ah, but with no school you eventually lose your edge. Or maybe you attend a different kind of school?

[a boring normal one??? surely not, with his having laser eyes and all. it only makes sense that other places would have specialized schools like Jujutsu High.]

[laserguy]

Oh no, losing my edge of applying U.S. history and geometry. Don't know how I'd live without that.

[...Well, he's attending Xavier's school now, but... he was only there for two days before coming here. And from the brief stint he was there, it still felt like normal school, just for weirdos like him. Maybe at some point, Professor McCoy or Professor Xavier was going to delve more into his powers, but he never got the chance. Whatever.

He's lucky that Professor McCoy made his shades in such a short amount of time.]

[thegtg]

Man, all the boring parts without the fun parts mixed in? No wonder you don't miss it.

[a beat.]

Not that, uh, there's anything wrong with history and geometry.

[laserguy]

No, they both suck. Not like they're helping me right now.

[School sucks!! At least his old high school.] Teachers always say how important it is, but feels like a load of crap.

[thegtg]

...You know I'm a teacher, right?

[or maybe not? this has probably never come up before.]

The cool kind, not the boring kind.

[laserguy]

No, you never mentioned that before.

[Actually a little surprising, but whatever.]

You know, every teacher says that they're the 'cool' teacher ends up being the opposite. [Granted, Scott is still very thankful for Gojo's help, but why by honest!! Especially since Dazai is now gone and everything. Adults just leave this world.]

[thegtg]

Not me! I, the Great Teacher Gojo, make school a delight for all of my students!

[there are about six people in another world who would beg to differ but, hey, they're not here so they don't count.]

[laserguy]

[.....]

Yeah, delightfully a pain, I bet.

[TOTALLY GOT HIM!!!!]

[thegtg]

Oh, Scott. Why do you try to hurt me with your words?

[...based on his tone of voice it's not working very well, anyway.]

[laserguy]

Because you deserve it, asshole.

[...But what's that, Scott actually sounds amused, a little less sour now. Gojo's... Gojoness might be rubbing off him yet.]
