Guys' Night [OPEN]

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 ♥ ))

[ 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?

( it's true. izou, despite his attitude, has foolishly decided to leave his blades behind... for the party's sake!!! clearly!

if anything, he'll make do with something else, and if anything, he didn't plan on riling up the entire group, but. it is what it is. he watches the display, tipsy, and then raises his can towards choso. )


Nice magic trick.

( it's a little unnerving... whatever the hell that is. )

Thank you. I spent a long time on it.

[ what a dead-ass monotone for someone whose blood is winding in a little helix over his head.





… though with izou’s can held out like that, choso, glancing at his neo-wiki-how page on social gatherings, lifts his own unopened can up to tap it against the other’s cautiously. tonk. ]

( ... okay, that does get choso points, that little tonk.

WHY IS IZOU SO EASY... looks up, his hostility starting to dissipate. )


How long it take ya to learn that? That whirly blood thing.

[ choso seems bemused by this, this strange bloodless dance between peers. libations and gecko meat wrought such peculiar things, and choso is hard pressed not to partake.

the can gives a little hssst like quiet admonishment when he opens it up. ]


Years. Well over a hundred; I had nothing but time on my hands.

A... hundred?

( what the. the narrowing of an eye, some obvious scrutiny. )

Don't look that old to me... but I guess it's like that sayin'—appearances can be deceivin', or whatever.

[ all of izou’s scrutiny wins him the vision of choso sniffing the opened can before giving the foam up top a Sip, followed by a wrinkling of his nose and the mark spanning across it. ]

[ the face-scrunch passes, only for choso to take another sip (like maybe it would be different this time?) and repeat the process. it, too, passes. ]

I mean not to deceive. It is how I was made; I spent a hundred and fifty years sealed away, and in that time I taught myself how to command my cursed technique.

Huh. Well, I was born almost a hundred and...

( this isn't a COMPETITION—

though izou does take note of choso's reaction to his sip, and with one of the only genuine smirks he's had in four months: )


Too bitter for you? Just chug it without thinkin' too much. It'll go down easier eventually.

[ choso nods and nods anyway, because it is impressive that some guy from way back before choso was even a consideration has managed to cut his way through history to land his ass in a kaiju fight in 2277, and the elderly must be respected.

at mention of the drink, choso's mouth does a sort of Thing, something like a pout like he must run the idea through his tastebuds first before it can be taken to council. ]


I understand.

[ so to demonstrate, he promptly tips the can back and chugs it in one go. one whole go. some people take their tequila like this, in one amphibious feat. ]

[ choso slaps the emptied can onto the rocks beside him with a loud tink while he swipes the foam from his mouth, frowning as if to demand of the world: how was that!? ]

( literally, what. the hell—

the flames of intoxication practically singe izou's throat as he downs his own can in one-go for sheer excitement of the display, a gasp of delight wrenching from his lips at the taste. this shit never gets old. literally.

still, the crushed can and all that... it gets izou to wheeze out a loud, boyish laugh. )


Uhahahah! Y-You, you're seriously somethin' else. Maybe I oughta get you to hang sometime if you're gonna be this hilarious. A good drink needs good company.

[ behold, signs of acceptance and glee. the operation was a success. choso allows himself a wave of congratulatory satisfaction for a job well done before he looks at his hand with a frown. the crunkled can topples back to the rocks, where he scoops it back up to tuck into... into his sweatpants pocket, there we go. no littering. ]

Be it company or an ally in battle, I am yourshh to call upon at any time.

[ for izou, he flashes a thumbs up. the colour is riding real high in choso's cheeks there, huh? ]
