Shortly after a questionable decision:


[1] Scott, where'd you end up?


Sent ten minutes later


[2] Hey, has anyone seen Scott?

Comments

[xp_longshot]

[1] D - he said he was going to find you since I was chatting with the bouncer. Maybe not with words. But his eyes definitely said that
[2] Are you still inside

[xp_legion]

[1] I am, unfortunately.
[2] A club was a mistake. Pretty sure everyone thinks I'm a cop.
[3] Warren, have you seen Scott?

[xp_legion]

[1] Okay, I think we lost Warren.
[2] Tonight's going great.

[xp_longshot]

[1] In more positive news, turns out it is my birthday!

[xp_legion]

[1] What?
[2] Why didn't you say something? I could have rescheduled!

[xp_longshot]

[1] I forgot until the bartender said something
[2] And uh Shatterstar texted me
[3] Honest, though. What is time
[4] What's the strat here?

[One minute later]
[5] You lack the right natural menace to be a cop, but your authority is 💯

[xp_legion]

[1] Well now I feel like an asshole. Sorry I made you spend your birthday hunting for Scott.
[2] And Warren, I guess, but at least we'll find out what happened there when it makes the news tomorrow.
[3] I'm not sure what to do. Scott's phone goes to voicemail.
[4] ...wait. I'm a telepath.

[One minute later]

[5] forgot
[6] club
[7] extremely loud and incredibly high

[xp_longshot]

[1] This is why I avoid thinking
[2] Guess we need some luck

[2] [Arthur Centino has shared a live location pin.]

[xp_legion]

[1] How?
[2] ...you just picked a direction and walked, didn't you.

(1) Damn, I get one blow job and my phone explodes.

(2) Sup, fools.

[xp_legion]

[1] Oh, there you are
[2] We lost Scott. Arthur found him, I'm on my way to join them. You coming?

[xp_angel]

(1) One sec.

(2) Okay, now I came. Can Julius hang too? He's got good pot.

[xp_legion]

[1] Thanks for reminding me to watch my phrasing around you.
[2] You know what, sure. Why not.

[xp_longshot]

[1] I merely used my highly honed craft of intuitive deduction to get into the very mind of Scott Summers
[2] Also I asked the bouncer who knew a guy and so on. Honed craft
[3] Be quiet and sneak in. He's fleecing these people in the pool hall and it is a show

[xp_legion]

[1] You know . . . good for him. There are worse ways to spend the night.
[2] Me, Warren, and some guy named Julius will be there soon.

[xp_longshot]

[1] Free entertainment AND a new friend? Happy birthday to me.

[xp_legion]

[1] Um, yeah
[2] Either way, I'll make it up to you later.

[xp_angel]

(1) Awesome because he gives great head too so now I'm more interested in talking to him.

(2) Semf me a ping thing

(3) semd

(4) PING ME
