[Scott can't tell if he's trying to be humorous or just doesn't understand rhetorical questions. Either way, he's going to respond as he always does; dry as a desert.]

Is that all? And here I thought it would be something devastating.

[aroundthecoroner]

[Both. Is it possible to be both?]

I guess that depends on how much you like the other people here.

[Two can play at the dry sarcasm thing.]

Realistically, though, it shouldn't go that badly. There's... I mean there's at least a lot of us. They can't kill us all.

[Right? Right.]

[casualryder]

[Wow. Now he has to laugh regardless of it being humorous or not.]

Has anyone ever told you that you have a real gift for looking on the bright side of things?

[aroundthecoroner]

Would you be at all surprised if I said no?

[Well, he has been told that. But only sarcastically.]

[casualryder]

I would be shocked.

[Count Scott among the ones who would mean it sarcastically. But look, that's fine, that he understands.]

[aroundthecoroner]

Well, prepare for the surprise of a lifetime.

[At least they're speaking the same language, here.]

I'm Michael, by the way. I always forget you're supposed to introduce yourself at the start of the conversation.

[casualryder]

I like when the introductions come after and you can have that moment of, "huh, this guy really does seem like a Fred, doesn't he?"

[You know it's an interesting first meeting when you don't know the other person's name until a few minutes in. At least, that's how he sees it.]

I'm Scott.

[aroundthecoroner]

Well, if it's any consolation, you do look enough like a Scott.

[He shrugs a little.]

So hopefully you're one of those people who actually likes your name.

[casualryder]

[He does indeed love his name if only for the fact that it means people aren't calling him "Ryder" or "Pathfinder" when they use it, so there's that.]

Do I? Because I'm a twin, which means my sister looks like a Scott by that logic. So if you're not just saying that to be accommodating tell me now so I can work on my gloating later.

[Shitty sibling logic.]

[aroundthecoroner]

I mean, are you an identical twin? Maybe she looks like whatever the girl version of Scott is. Which would be... uh. Is there a girl version of Scott?

[His name is easy to girl-ify. He's probably met as many Michaelas as other Michaels.]

[casualryder]

Hey, don't take this away from me.

[He just wants to make fun of his sister. But HUH he never thought of the girl version of "Scott" before. He figures "Sara" was the closest his parents could get.]

Scott...Scottella? Scotia? Scotti?

[aroundthecoroner]

Alright, fine. If that's what you want, your sister looks like a Scott.

[Now he just has to hope that this guy's sister doesn't appear in Hadriel.]

And for the record, I like Scottella.
