[...Well he doesn't hate Scott but-]

You can be annoying, and pushy.
laserguy: (look i know i'm an ass)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-10 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least Shadow thinks he sucks because he actually sucks-- but honestly he's in slightly of a shit mood that he doesn't reply in his normal way.]

great, glad that i have your support too.
thelightshines: (Even children get older)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-10 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Was he expecting him to say everything will be fine? He's not the right candidate for that.]

Did you make everyone angry?
laserguy: (out here doing my best)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-10 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
no. it's. never mind.

the bots filled this out anyway. it's unimportant.
thelightshines: (You are my possession)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-11 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Yes, it seems they can do that. As he discovered himself unfortunately. Thankfully, while still annoying, the information they chose wasn't anything too personal.

There's a long pause where nothing is said. Could be Shadow had decided to end it there, but then-]


Did you have plans today?
laserguy: (srs)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-11 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's honestly a little surprised to see Shadow's message, but he responds soon after.]

no, not really. unless you call just staring at the ceiling as something to do.
thelightshines: (Even children get older)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-11 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there something you want to do?
laserguy: (okay not bad)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-12 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
wait. are you telling me that you want to hang out?
thelightshines: (like a bundle in my palm)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-12 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[....siiiiiigh]

Do you? [Cause if you want to keep staring at the ceiling, that's fine too.]
laserguy: (how did you know)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-14 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[What a pal.]

i do.

hang out at the diner? or we can lie on the ground and stare at the sky. big difference from the ceiling.
thelightshines: (the changin' ocean tides?)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-15 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Man, what is he doing, asking this fool to hang out and everything.]

I know a place where we can look at the sky. Do you remember where you found me in the forest? Meet me there.
laserguy: (so the plan is)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-16 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[This really is surprising... but of course he's going to take the opportunity.]

yeah, i remember the place.

give me a few extra minutes, not all of us have superspeed, but i'll be there.
thelightshines: (in the deepest darkness)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-17 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[...All right, well. He'll meet him there eventually then. He doesn't give back a response, since it's already been agreed on to...hang out.

It's no surprise that Shadow reaches the clearing first, even when he was going at a more leisure pace getting there. There are no birds to bother him today...he be surprised if they did after what happened. He'll come down to the lake, looking across it. And it's here he'll wait for Scott.]
laserguy: (look i know i'm an ass)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-18 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes Scott an extra ten minutes or so, but he'll eventually make it to the area. His footsteps are purposely loud, because it's not like he's trying to catch Shadow off guard (not that he probably could), and it makes it easy to track his movements and general distance from the other until he finally stops to stand next to the hedgehog in silence.

A silence that lasts a few seconds, at least.]


...Thanks.

[He says, quietly, but there's something less angry actually clinging to him.]
thelightshines: (mirror in the sky)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-19 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[His ears swerve slightly at Scott's approaching steps. He didn't need to turn to know it's him. Silence is something Shadow always welcomes, so he doesn't mind that Scott isn't saying anything at first. But it is strange to see the boy being his less chatty self.]

. . . This way. [He turns and starts moving away from the lake, back towards the forest to his right. There was a clearing he took Fio to not too long ago. Full of flowers and a clear view of the sky above. It's where he was taking Scott.]
laserguy: (big ol' visor)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-20 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[At least he's positive that Shadow isn't leading him to his death. That sounds more like the other Shadow's MO-- okay, maybe even that's unfair, but it's definitely true that he gets along with this version of the hedgehog more. It's funny how different they are despite being the same 'person.'

He wonders if that's how the other mutants see him, and there's only one Scott Summers in this world.

Nonetheless, he follows Shadow without complaint, simply nodding as he keeps his footsteps steady behind the other. He's not too sure what Shadow has in mind or what he should expect... but there's something undeniably nice as he steps into the clearing with him. A field full of flowers, a clear sky; there's something definitely peaceful about this area.

His shoulders visibly relax as he looks around. Kind of surprising there's not many people here.]


...This is nice. [Scott compliments quietly.]
thelightshines: (that I cannot follow)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-21 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
[Most stick to the city. Shadow prefers the relative calm and peace the forest offers. So he has a better idea where things are than most. After watching Scott for a moment, he walks to find a spot to settle among the flowers.]
laserguy: (ruby quartz)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-22 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's like he's fully taking cues from the other now, because as soon as Shadow finds a spot to lie around in, the teen joins him right after. He lets his body rest against the flowers, eyes temporarily shutting behind his shades before he stares up at the sky with that slightly more relaxed look.

...

Yeah, he can see why Shadow comes to this place. Not only are there less people around here, but you can't really hear the noisiness of the city either. Guess this is what people meant by just having some sort of nature experience, huh? That's what's happening now.]


So, is this your favorite spot?
thelightshines: (I know you crossed a bridge)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-22 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Very strange experience when Scott decides to "slow down". He should be content with this, but it just...bothers him.]

I have a few other places. [Gotta have alternatives incase one gets compromised.] You can come back to this spot, whenever.
laserguy: (still closing them)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-24 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? ...Well, thanks, Shadow.

[His voice continues to carry on that more quiet tone, still battling with his mixed emotions when it comes to the other mutants. Maybe, deep down, he knows that they don't really hate him, but it's still hard. Guess it's just difficult because he was initially excited to meet more mutants, as he was starting to adjust and like the ones he knows back home, but... it's different here.

Like he found a place to fit in back home, but now he's back to feeling like the odd one out. However, he doesn't bring these things up, assuming that Shadow doesn't want hear more of that.]


I'll probably take you up on that offer when I just want to get away from everyone for a bit. [Then slightly joking--] Might be often, warning you now.
thelightshines: (as you slept forever)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-24 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You, wanting to get away from people. [He knows some people need it, but he can't help and look unimpressed at Scott. Could have fooled him with how often he pushes wanting to hang out with Shadow.

...Or does he really have no one else to spend his time with? Just going by that Chirper. A huff, looking back up at the sky.]


Like I said, I have other places. [Stay here however much you want. If Shadow doesn't want the company, he'll go elsewhere.]
laserguy: (ruby quartz)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-06-25 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[He slides his hands to the back of his head, mood improving and slowly sliding to something that's a little more familiar to the hedgehog, although Scott's still not behaving as boisterous as before. He just feels a little more calm, simply enjoying the present company without fully saying it out loud yet.]

I know this is surprising to you, but I'm really not that outgoing. Never had a lot of friends back home. [He lifts one shoulder in a half shrug.] It's whatever.
thelightshines: (last warning)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-06-25 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[...] Am I the only one here you keep bothering?

[He hasn't exactly been the friendliest. Not exactly going out of his way to do anything with them, besides right now. At most, he tolerates Scott when their paths cross. And he knows there's definitely those way more willing to make friends here than him. Do they hate him too?]
laserguy: (out here doing my best)

[personal profile] laserguy 2025-07-04 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not the only one, but like I said, I never had a lot of friends.

[Besides Shadow? Fio, maybe, but he's not about to bother a 8 year old girl to spend time with him. And then there's sort of Sophie, but she's also part of the problem at times. And other than those two... yeah, guess Shadow really is the only person that he keeps on 'bothering' around here.

Of course there's Cable and Hope, but... also complicated shit.]
thelightshines: (Even children get older)

[personal profile] thelightshines 2025-07-04 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
...At least you had some. [At least Scott looked human enough to make some. Not like he ever had that option. The bond he had with Maria was a miracle in itself. So it's hard, for him to sympathized when he never belonged anywhere in the first place. Scott should be glad with what he has.]
