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 ♥ ))

[As soon as he mentions "knee release" Bakugo almost instinctively follows the flow of the move's intent. A low-slung body with a high-rise roundhouse.]

Heeh? Not bad, Gari Head.

[It reminds him of something Ashido would do. Elements of revolution and evasive dance along with a powerful strike.]

You "vanish" from your opponent's line of sight.

[eyescar]

Yeah! It takes a lot of people by surprise.

[ It works really well against curses. ]

My grandpa taught me.

[blastedass]

Most people don't instinctively look down first.

[Left and right, then down, then up, are the general order.]

Was he a martial artist?

[eyescar]

He was just my grandpa.

[ Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, as if Gege will tell us. ]

[blastedass]

[As mysterious as Midoriya's dad... *cough*]

So how'd he teach you?

[eyescar]

[ They have so much in common ]

Just at home, you know? I guess he felt it was important.

[blastedass]

[Poof.]

Did he go through the motions or just tell you what to do?

[eyescar]

A mix of both? So maybe he was good at it.

[ He was pretty old, though... ]

[blastedass]

[That just means he was a martial artist at some point in his younger years.]

The rest you just learned on your own, huh.

[eyescar]

Yeah, pretty much. I sparred a bit with my senpai, but sometimes I just do whatever works.

[ Like... A natural fighter... ]

[blastedass]

You've probably fought long enough you instinctively learned techniques.

[You don't stay a floundering brawler for long if you fight regularly.]

[eyescar]

You think?

[ Yuji's counting on his hand. ]

It's only been like six months...

[blastedass]

You've only been fighting six months?

[Or did you ONLY Manji kick for years?]

[eyescar]

I've only been properly fighting curses for six months. I only beat up bullies before that.

[blastedass]

[He rests his case.]

Hn. Good for you.Ichigo

[What counts as a bully though...]

[eyescar]

You think?

[ The trauma, Bakugo... ]

I can still get stronger, though.

[blastedass]

Yeah.

[Considering how he used to treat Midoriya and others, the single word is more self-damning than Yuji would hopefully ever know.]

No shit. You're not one for plateaus.

[eyescar]

That's right!

[ He clenches his fist. ]

I'm gonna beat that guy into the ground...

[blastedass]

[He wants to ask... but he curls his tongue.]

Slaughter him. I know you can.

[eyescar]

Yeah... I hope I can.

[ He breathes out sharply. ]

I gotta do it.

[blastedass]

We both will.

[He frowns in his own thoughts.]

We have to.

[eyescar]

... Yeah.

[ Yuji reaches over to shove him gently. ]

C'mon, it's a party. Let's not be sad!

[blastedass]

[DID YOU JUST PUSH HIM?!]

I'm not sad! I'm agreeing with you!

[Yeah yeah, he gets it.]

You'd get along with a girl in my class. She uses a fighting style like your Manji Kick.

[eyescar]

Yeah, I know!

[ Tilting his head, he leans close again. He hasn't heard much about the people Bakugo knows from home, so... He's curious. ]

Tell me more.

[blastedass]

[He doesn't talk about them much for multiple reasons, some jerkass-ish, some jerk's got a heart-ish.]

Her name's Ashido Mina. Her Acid Quirk lets her create corrosive liquid from her skin and adjust the acidity, viscosity, and clarity, but she fights using elements of Capoeira and dance. And she's pink.
