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 ♥ ))

[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.

[eyescar]

The quirks you guys have are really cool, aren't they?

[ Yuji laughs softly. ]

I'm almost jealous.

[blastedass]

Heh. Yeah. But a bunch of them are fucking lame.

[Plenty can be trained to become stronger, buuut...]

You've got shit several heroes would be envious of.

[eyescar]

Only because of what I ate. It's not like it's me.

[ Shrug. Whatever! ]

If it means I can fight, it's fine.

[blastedass]

Oy.

[He's seen this before. Just like Midoriya who inherited All Might's Quirk.]

Don't downplay your power. Even if it's borrowed or transferred at first, you've done a lot of work to make it yours.

[Knocking something that once belonged to the devil is wasting time when you could focus on how to use it for god. Or something like that. Heard it on television when some priest with a Quirk addressed the notion Quirks were negative things.

Quirks have a turbulent history in his world.]

[eyescar]

I'd like to think that's true. I've only been a few months, but I've been doing my best.

[ And paying the price for it... ]

And I'll keep fighting here, too. As hard as I can.

[blastedass]

It is true. One day you're gonna have to suck it up and accept it.

[Sukuna's power is Yuji's power. (He doesn't know Sukuna jumped ship, buuut, Yuji's still using cursed energy and his techniques, so moot point.)

Bakugo acknowledges the price paid however.]

Hmph. Not like wussing out on a fight here's gonna help anyone.

[eyescar]

One day!

[ He says it with a huff of laughter. ]

No, not here. We've got jobs to do, and that's okay. I'll fight hard!

[blastedass]

[He agrees, Bakugo wins, topic done. See how easy that is?]

What do you do for a day job anyways?

[Curious.]

[eyescar]

What, here?

[ He griiins. ]

Firefighter.

[blastedass]

Haa?! What sector? I'm on the police force.

[Unless they're, you know, the kind NOT to send out firetrucks + ambulance along with each police car dispatch...]

[eyescar]

I don't know... I just go where they tell me...

[ Sorry, Bakugo... ]

[blastedass]

[Hey neither of them control where their squads go. He just thinks it's cool Yuji's a firefighter.

You know. A hero occupation.]

It suits you.

[eyescar]

It's what I thought about being before everything.

[ Eating the fingers and everything. ]

[blastedass]

Planning on going to the training school?

[Talk about a derail... though technically Yuji's fighting fires?]

[eyescar]

Nah. I'm not gonna live that long.

[ WHOOPS

NOT IN FRONT OF BAKUGO - ]

I mean, not in the human world anyway!
