Uh, 1983. I'm guessing this is a future thing. [He's learned a lot of things at this point, but 'boy bands' haven't really come up before.]
no subject
[ Humorous interlude aside, there was a real intent beneath her joke. ]
I'll be more direct: what are the X-Men? [ She's absolutely going to do her hacking and reading up on it, but she's curious what Scott's explanation will be given the weight he put on the term earlier. ]
no subject
[Maybe Kotone has a song or two in her MP3 player?? He'll have to ask her later, if he remembers, because it's back to something a little more serious. 'What are the X-Men?' Honestly, a fair question, and one that Scott shouldn't know about, given where he is in the time line. Maybe the X-Men won't even exist back home, because things are peaceful. His world just sounds so different compared to the other mutants.
But...
What did Quentin say? Kurt?? Morph and Rogue as well. Or maybe, more importantly, what does the X-Men mean to him??]
We're a group of mutants. [That's the easy answer. Does he include 'superhero?' Scott will avoid that for the time being.] Mutants that use their powers to help others, whether it's other mutants, humans, or in this case, AI. We help others because that's what we're supposed to do.
[...]
Improbable hail marys to save the world is what we do.
[Stealing from Quentin don't @ him.]
no subject
[ She's definitely just perpetuating the joke to be lightly annoying now, but it is a coping mechanism for her in itself. Root is constantly buried in life or death situations (most of her own making) and retaining some normalcy helps her function.
They are not using the word mutant the way she thinks of it, but Root's not about to argue semantics. ]
Sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon, but convenient for our current situation. The world need saving that often? [ She herself was interrupted in the midst of trying to save the world, but it was more metaphorical than literal. ]
no subject
Y-yeah? Kind of. [...] My world isn't as chaotic as theirs, but people try to either destroy the world or harm mutants and humans on a regular basis.
[Quentin has definitely bitched to him about it before.] And yeah, I definitely just mentioned that we're from different timelines. It doesn't change the fact that we're still X-Men.
[Maybe he's accepted that for himself, after worrying about it for so long. He compared himself to other Scotts for months now, maybe he finally figured to pull his head out of his ass.]
no subject
Okay. Well, as long as you keep your band together and you don't break up before the tour, it's fine with me.
[ Brightly: ] Thanks for asking! I need to get back to work now.
