[open log] stranger in a strange land - a day in the life of Scott Summers

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

Characters: Scott Summers, you.
Setting: Assorted mansion locations.
Content: A typical day in the (second) life of Scott Summers.
Status: Open and incomplete.

Similar to petitebelette 's entry for Julian, except Scott just doesn't have much to do these days, so it's just morning, afternoon, evening and night. Either commentspam format or prose responses are fine, I'll run with it! I really, truly don't have anything already planned for Scott, so if you have an idea of how your character would relate to him, jump in and let's see where it goes.

[Bobby quirks a small half-smile.]

I'm always down here. It's the only time I can eat my ice cream without having to hand it round.

[He sobers slightly, smile fading.]

Plus, I've had a lot on my mind.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that. What's getting you down?

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

Uh. Girl trouble.

[He tries to keep his tone light, because he's not sure how much he really wants to get into an entire conversation about his (lack of) love life with someone who used to be his teacher.]

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

Uh oh. That's the worst kind.



Girls are complicated, that's for sure. What kind of trouble?

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

Um. Well, you know Rogue and I broke up a little while ago.

[He's looking intently at his ice cream because he doesn't really want to look at Scott.]

I... [Sigh.] I just miss her, that's all.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

Right, right.



That's tough. You two were pretty close.

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[He finally looks up from his ice cream.]

I know it's been almost four months, and I should just... get over it. But I can't.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

Don't be so hard on yourself, Bobby. It takes a lot of time, and it's not any easier when you have to see her everyday. But you're young...



I'm sorry. We both know that's a load of crap. I think you're taking it pretty well, actually.

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

Hm. Thanks.

[He scoops some ice cream into his mouth, a thoughtful look on his face.]

I guess I know I'll get over it eventually. It's just waiting for it that sucks.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

I don't doubt that you'll get over it.



So what else have you been up to?

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

[Change of subject. Excellent. Bobby gives a casual shrug.]

Class, training. Haven't really gotten out much lately.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

You have to keep some outside interests, you'll burn out if you push yourself too hard. We should have a poker night, maybe shoot some pool. Think any of the other guys would be interested?

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

[Crooked smirk.]

I remember when you used to give us detention for gambling, now you want to organise a poker night?

[He chuckles as he presses the lid on the ice cream container, and then he gets up, replacing the container in the freezer and dropping the spoon in the sink.]

Yeah, I think some of the guys would enjoy it.

[He pauses for a moment and smiles at the other man.]

Thanks, Mister Summers. I don't know if I ever said this, but it's really good having you around again.

[scottheboyscout.livejournal.com]

It's really good to be here, Bobby.
