[Quentin's still not back home.
He takes a long breath, mostly to get his feelings somewhat under control. His roommate is a huge asshole, but he's worried and everything. Maybe he should just do text, but whatever, he's going through with this.]
If anyone has seen Quentin Quire around, tell him to stop fucking around and come back. He's uh.
[Fuck, what is his normal hair color?????]
He's a dweeb with a mohawk and glasses. Usually wearing some stupid t-shirt with a slogan on it. Anyway, tell him that his room is starting to smell.
[Please don't be gone. Fuck. Did he get lost in the middle of all this bullshit? Trapped somewhere? Sent 'home?' They just went through that whole stupid thing with the alternative life and now Aldrip is a city, so he's feeling all kind of ways. He's really confused and upset and he doesn't know what he's supposed to do, but he's starting here.]
Oh, I'm calling a mandatory 'we're going to the movie theater' event to all members of TWAT club. Don't feel like going? Too bad, don't care, you're going-- that's what mandatory means. Leader's orders.
[He just wants to do something normal with his friends okay--]

What exactly does that acronym stand for?

[Scott answers with a somewhat knowing tone. He knows the joke now...
The voice isn't familiar to him, but... she(?) sounds young at least, so Scott's just going to invite her to join the club. The more the merrier? Geez, look at him though, being a leader of a club; he'd never imagine something like that back in his old school.]
Teenagers With Abilities and Talents. So, joining, right?
no subject
Unfortunately, I wouldn't qualify.
[Rejected.]
no subject
Huh?? Why not? [He's not pouting what are you talking about.] If you're worried about the 'talent' bit... listen, it can be anything.
no subject
No. I'm completely average in every way.
[Yup, completely normal 17 year old detective with magical powers.]
no subject
......
You know, only people who are not average say shit like that. You're totally holding out on me, aren't you?
no subject
Perhaps. [Pretty much confirming he's right.] But I doubt I'm suited for such a club.
no subject
Still resisting? Would it make you feel better if I told you about my power?
no subject
[Cause she was keeping her persona a secret. If she could anyway.]
no subject
[Scott don't be proud about having no standards--]
no subject
You can shoot lasers out of your eyes? [So much skepticism in that one sentence.]
no subject
[Scott emphasizes, pulling some attitude although he doesn't actually sound annoyed. He knows that he's just giving her a hard time.]
They're a concussive force. So, purely physical.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, totally that.]
Sure. [...] I still shoot out bright red beams though. Maybe a little demonstration would be better.
no subject
It would be. And this has no effect on your vision?
no subject
Oh, yeah, no effect at all. [Scott dial down the attitude by ten--] Besides seeing everything in red all the time now.
[It didn't work.]
no subject
That said, she was completely deadpan.]
That sounds like quite an effect.
no subject
[...]
I can still show you.
