[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.]

[He never imagined that him being all upset about the destruction of the club building would lead to this, but he's certainly not complaining. This like the best turn of events! Too bad Ange can't see the broad smile that's on his face right now, although it is tempting to turn on video just for that.

But he figures that she might die of embarrassment if he followed through.]

Don't sweat it or anything, not like I'm gonna charge you rent. I guess maybe stock your own food? And until the house is expanded, you are going to have to share a bathroom with Quentin... sorry about that.

[He'll have to make it a priority! Because god who wants to share a bathroom with that guy--]

[ Most people might catch onto what Scott means by that.

Ange, however, instead just asks: ]

What, do you think he's going to try and walk in on me in there?

[ Just asking it so directly.. Sorry, Scott. This is apparently also what you have to deal with when it comes to those two housemates. You're the only one good at being social in a relatively normal way here. ]

Wha-- hell no! Quentin's an asshole, but not like that.

[At least he's pretty sure?? Not to mention he has a girlfriend...? Okay, maybe there's a giant fucking question mark on that one, because who the hell knows what him and Jinx are. But still. The other mutant's a huge dick, but not the type to just barge in on girls when they're getting dressed.

Geez, look at him, defending Quentin. Ange, this is what you have caused.]

I just meant that it sucks sharing a bathroom with someone that spends more time in there than any girl that I know.

.. really?

[ Apparently that's just as surprising to her, if not more so. ]

What does he even do in there?

[ Apparently Ange also believes girls definitely spend more time in there than boys.. Or that might just be because she looks down on guys as a whole enough to believe they don't exactly all have a great sense of hygiene.. ]

Take incredibly long showers for one. He's also probably making sure his stupid hair is in place.

[Scott doesn't really get it, he likes to just hop in and out of the shower whenever possible. Well, doesn't help that taking a shower is a lot more awkward for him nowadays compared to like a year ago. Always making sure his eyes are closed or else his stupid bathroom will get a new hole in it. Kind of lame!! Whatever, he's used to it.

He takes a little more care regarding his hair though, just not to the same extent as Quentin.]

I'd be surprised if you're in the bathroom longer than him. [Although, it would be really amusing to hear Quentin complain about it.]

[ She hums. ]

You don't have to worry about that. I don't use it excessively. I just get done what needs to be done. [ A very Ange-like answer, huh.. Then again, this is the girl who's wearing the exact same kind of childish pigtails every single day, even here. Maybe she just doesn't pay all that much attention to her appearance, other than making sure she looks presentable. ]

I'm not really good with cooking or anything though. [ In case she's expected to help with that.. ] I'm not sure how it happens, but everything I touch in the kitchen just ends up being set on fire.

[ Kind of like your own eye power, Scott.

Except more dumb. ]

Hey, it wouldn't bother me if you used the bathroom for a long time. I got my own, sorry, a perk for the guy that actually owns the house.

[Although...]

Actually, please use the bathroom for as long as possible. Just to annoy Quentin and everything. [He wants that more than anything.]

Geez, you think stuff like that matters to me? I'm not expecting you to cook, although one rule of the house, if you see leftovers-- specifically if they're mine, don't take it. Or ask first.

[.........]

Do you really set the kitchen on fire every time you cook? [He sounds way too amused, sorry Ange.]

[ No hesitation, considering agreeing to the other stuff is easy enough that she doesn't even have to think about it, so there's only the last thing to actually address: ]

Yes.

[ Every single time. So far, anyway. Listen to that straightforward answer, like it's just a normal thing to have happen to you. Apparently it is that way to Ange. ]

I don't know, it just happens. One moment I'm trying to cook, and the next moment there's fire everywhere.

[Maybe he should tell Kotone about this AND make Ange join her cooking club. Surely either Ange will stop setting fires or the club might have a very interesting day...]

I have to see this in action someday.

[ Even if it's not visible considering they're talking over voice, she is absolutely raising an eyebrow here.

The action is kind of reflected in her tone, anyway. It works. ]

Are you for real? You want me to burn down your-- [ ... ] --our house?

[ Still feels kind of weird, especially when she hasn't moved in just yet. It's so new.

But maybe she could get used to it. ]

[Eheh, she said 'our' house. Scott's grinning like a fool now.]

Not our house, but maybe the club building? I mean, cooking club's there and they definitely have stuff ready on hand to put out fires. I'll ask Kotone to be sure.

I can't tell why you're doing this.

[ Maybe she could if it was anyone else. But Scott is sometimes a total mystery to her, especially when he seems to operate on such a different social level than Ange herself. It's utterly confusing. ]

Do you just think it's funny? Is that why you insist?

Come on Ange, would I do something just because it's funny?

[...]

Okay, partly that, but also, I want to see if it's true. And if maybe the combined talent of everyone at cooking club can help you out. You know, like defeating a supernatural force.

[ It's a good thing Scott already admitted it himself, because-- yes, yes, he definitely would do something just because it's funny! That's half the problem with you, Scott!!

But Ange doesn't have to dryly point that out when he's already doing so himself, so she can instead focus on the rest of it. ]

Now you're saying I have to go spend time with a lot of people?

[ Just getting this straight. ]

You're asking a whole lot from me here, Scott. Do you know that?

[Oh right, Ange and being sociable. Sometimes he forgets.]

Pretty much.

[No way around that because cooking club has quite a few members. It is Kotone's club after all.]

Thanks Ange for agreeing to do this.

[You're the best!! ✨]

Wha--

[ Hold on.

What?!

Ange is immediately sputtering. ]

Scott, I never said I agreed to anything! What are you saying?!

We're going to defeat the unstoppable force.

[He's having a little too much fun right now. Thanks Ange, you really know how to cheer someone up.] So, when are you moving in? The third bedroom is already open, no one's really stayed in there before.

You're the worst kind of man, Scott Summers.

[ SHE'S USING YOUR FULL NAME NOW.

Now you've done it!!

.. even if she's still adding: ]

I'll grab my stuff and I'll probably be there sometime this afternoon.

[Oh he's in hot water now.

Eheh.]

I'll be here. Someone's gotta be here to welcome you to your new and improved home, right?
