Guys' Night [OPEN]

[seafloor]

WHO: Dudes, dude. Bring all your dudely Outsiders, bro.
WHAT: Man I sure wish I could tell you Cracking a cold one open with the boys
WHERE: The Onsen
WHEN: 4/11
WARNINGS: Alcohol, nudity, dad jokes... This'll be updated accordingly

[ A few days after the girls have had their fun (cause girls just wanna have fun), another blanket text sweeps over the Outsiders' inboxes. This time, it's from Kaito: and he is proposing a very original idea that all the guys should come by the hot springs in a few days' time. Gossip and bathing are optional, but an empty stomach is mandatory.

Several pictures of newly purchased smokers, grills, and even a fucking pizza oven can be seen at various points throughout the message. There are also mountains of stacked beer and soda cases. Kaito's apparently going to be cooking enough to feed the whole base, or so he purports.

Where did he get all the money for this? Whatever, it's free!

He also adds in no uncertain terms that if any girls try to show up and sneak a snack, he will send them home with a stern warning and a bottle of water.

If you take him up on the invitation, welcome! It's a spring cookout and Pitmaster Kaito Nagano is going to be serving up enough barbeque to temporarily turn the onsen area into a Texan territory within Japan. Seriously, there's gonna be a metric fuckton of food and booze, and the hot springs will be right there when you're ready to get hot and hungover.

There are absolutely no plans after food. Feel free to stick around and socialize, but you will not be publicly shamed for just yoinking a plate and dip setting. Probably.

Aside from the barbeque, there are some horseshoes and cornhole boards set up (google it, it's safe, this is not a bit it's just a funny name for an american game) for dudes to try their hand-eye coordination at after having one too many drinks.

If you're feeling particularly brave, Kaito's got an ice box full of artificial fish (all the meat's artificial, let's be real) that you can try to attract a feral cat with. Good luck. ]

(( ooc: hello yes i didn't want The Boys™ to feel left out so feel free to make top levels and just get some general cookout social time in with your boyos. make it as friendly or awkward or awkwardly friendly as possible. go nuts. get naked. cause a ruckus. [ insert toxic masculinity here ] ilu ♥ ))

Who the... hell're you callin', shy?

( this isn't the first time he's heard that lately... MAN!!!

izou's already a couple beers in, as is his right ( thank you for being free ), and he barks out his answers from the back. )

Okada, Izou. Born 'n raised in Tosa-han. Ice cream... ? Surprising thing, bein'... that no one's technique is their own in my eyes. And there ain't no one here who could take me down in a fight. No one!

[frostfist]

[ Izou really said no one could take him down in a fight, huh. ]

You really don't think anyone here could take you down?

[hitokiller]

Not... Not a one of ya.

( the memory of vergilius besting him... nope. dashes that away. no one!! )

[frostfist]

[ Denial is a river in Egypt...... Casually he takes another sip of his drink. ]

What makes you so sure of that?

[hitokiller]

Call it... a man-slayer's intuition. Yeah. Intuition.

( simply put: bullshit. a big sip from that beer in his hand follows. :) )

The way folks carry themselves. I see it all.

[lifeprice]

No one?

[ Aki has a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, shaking his head as he huffs a little laugh. ]

You're pretty confident, aren't you?

[hitokiller]

( help, the guys turning their heads immediately over his confident declaration...

STAND YOUR GROUND IZOU... he clenches his fourth? fifth? beer over that chuckle. )

What, you think a man bein' so sure of themselves is funny?

[lifeprice]

[ You say that in front of a group of men who fight, dude...

He can't help himself, sorry. ]

I just wonder about 'no one here'. I can think of people who could beat me, for instance.

[hitokiller]

Well, that's yer problem. Not mine.

( i'm sorry... aki...

a generous sip of his beer, and then: )

The hell kinda guy walks up to someone and says they're ass-beatin' material?

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ izou.. cute.. ]}

Not even me?

[hitokiller]

( toji and his wildly more impressive frame... wipes my forehead. )

You heard me.

( sip. )

[assassinsgreed]

Alright.

_{[ Slowly standing from his seat and rotating his arm to stretch it. ]}

Let's see you prove it then.

_{[ does he seem taller.. bigger ... or is it just because he's projecting that much of an intimidating aura? ]}

[hitokiller]

( it's an intimidating aura for sure.

and in the middle of this "friendly" get-together, izou is going to

—toss his half-empty beer can straight at toji's head with an abnormal speed. fuck fighting fair, and sorry to anyone clearing out of their little huddle. )

[gimu]

Izou of Tosa-han. [ choso lifts a, is that a can of beer? unopened, yes. ]

I bet I could do it.

[hitokiller]

Oh, yeah? Based on what?

( like izou has anything to back-up his assertions...

besides a talent he isn't showing off rn ig. )

[gimu]

[ unlike izou, who has the good sense to not swing his sword around in public, choso reaches up to his face to touch a finger to the peculiar mark across his nose and cheeks, almost as if he were about to pull a maddening “thats a secret” gag.

thankfully, his hand moves away soon after, pulling with it a line of blood from the mark like string, which bubbles up into a small orb once disconnected from the rest of him. bloop. ]

Based on this?

[immortalpoet]

[looking to the side]







[siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip]

[hitokiller]

( don't



say





anything )

[yuwon]

I don't know anyone who wins a fight after saying that. [ isn't that normally how it was in movies and comics? he says this from the side as he casually just splashes his face in the water and other things, looking entirely unbothered.

on the bright side, no pet comments today. ]

[hitokiller]

( we meet again...

yuwon being one of the few people at this point who can literally fluster izou when he's literally just 🧍.

he clicks his tongue. )

Well, you're lookin' at him right here. The one who'll win.

[yuwon]

[ he looks at izou up and down clearly assessing him. ]

Hm. [ he makes a small hum of consideration before, giving a nod. ] Then let me know when you get into it. I'll place my bets after seeing the other guy. [ he's not serious for the most part, but hopefully the word bet doesn't trigger anyone. ]

[blastedass]

[Well that's just asking to get your ass handed to you right here and right now in the most humiliating way possible.]

Urusei. Half the guys here can murder you and you fucking know it.

You shitty trapped tanuki.

[Yeah, he recognizes you from the woods. In your cage.]

[cranekin]

I didn't call anyone shy, Izou-kun.

(LOOKING AT IZOU... feeling called out, buddy???)

[hitokiller]

Wh—

( i'm not owned!! i'm not owned!! i continue to insist as i slowly transform and shrink into a corn cob )

... I knew that.

[cranekin]

As long as you know.

(Just a friendly reminder.)

It's a good thing you aren't. You're quite popular.
