synflux | 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 ♥ ))

Why are you here then? Just for the food?

[ valid if so, tbh ]

I'm here because a nuisance forced me to be here.

[>8/]

But free booze is fine, I guess.

I don't recall anyone using physical force to get us to attend.

[ Use a better excuse. :/ ]

It wasn't physical. It was psychological.

I thought you were supposed to be one of the strongest guys out there.

I am. But you deal with someone who has a master's degree in being a damn annoyance for a few hours. Besides, I'm just here in and out. That's all. Anything to get him off my back.

Good to know that even you aren't infallible. But I wish you luck in escaping once you've done your mandatory five minutes of community service in the form of pointless gossip.

So why are you here, then? Also mandatory pointless gossip?

I wouldn't call it mandatory. I like to keep abreast of things, that's all.

[ And sometimes there's something worth learning hidden in all the gossip. Like (looks at later threads) people eating fingers and also mermaid ice cream. ]

So you're addicted to people talking around the water cooler.

[no he knows this isn't it he's just being mean]

[ It's cool, he can take it. Definitely not the worst thing people have accused him of. ]

What can I say? It's a nice break from the mountains of paperwork I had to get through every day before this.

Oh, tell me about it.

[IN A SIGH THAT SAYS THAT AT LEAST HE UNDERSTANDS THAT]

[ 🤝 ]

You know, you're a lot more laidback than I was expecting. [ Actually, hold on a second, while they're here: ] Mind if I ask you a question?

I'm a bundle of surprises.

[said ever dryly]

Oh? Hm. Sure...why not.

[ without any hesitation: ]

Do you typically kiss people while you're drunk?

[???]

[?????????????]

[????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????]

What kind of question is that.

An important one.

[ It is literally not important at all but please answer it anyway!! 😊 ]

[taking drink]

[sipppppppppppppppppppppppppp]

If there's a certain incident you're trying to sniff out like a hound, better just be up front with it.

Oh, nothing of the sort. [ He waves a hand dismissively. ] Just worried about my virtue when I finally deliver on those drinks I promised.

[SNORTING]

[INTO HIS DRINK]

Oh. [Sorry, okay, wiping his mouth. Acchem.] Yes. You're very much in danger of me kissing you when inebriated. Extremely. I'd just attack you on the spot. Wild and crazy. That's me.

[a beat]

Who said this about me.

[ Verg, wild and crazy, that's absolutely how he's getting described from here on out. Wrio places one hand over his chest. ]

Glad to know I won't be in danger from your relentless advances.

[ Maybe Sooyoung was onto something. Maybe he should also start writing fanfic about the people around him. Okay, enough of that, time to dial back now— ]

Does it have to be prompted by something someone said? I could just be speaking from experience.

Uh-huh. Right.

How good was the last time, then? Must have been with someone you liked if you keep looking forward to something similar in future encounters with everyone.

Not bad, actually. [ Ignore the fact that it happened with Ishmael. ] But you never know, maybe a rendezvous with you would be even better.

[ There is a 0.3% chance of this happening but never say never. ]

[A beat.]

You're not my type.

[ That makes two of them. ]

So you're saying you'd do it with someone who was your type.
