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 ♥ ))

[ calling it like he sees it. also does yuwon truly deserve to call anyone cringe? absolutely not, but somehow bakugo gets the brunt of it. but the yolk sack thing does make his features flatten momentarily. it's a weird thing to think of, but it could be true. who knows what form is houses within this shell...

he just knows the fangs that ate up the giant corpse of orochi...

Do you know a lot about eggs? [ lol. ]

[i saw not typo... he's still gonna wreck him.

gee, it's like yuwon does things that make people want to end his life. why would've thought that'd be the result.]


You're the one who thinks an egg can ignore you!

[because bakugo's obviously an expert on eggs from other dimensions. or whether yuwon's a cringelord or not. he resists the urge to slam a wave of water at him. ONLY because there's a baby something over there that doesn't deserve to get endangered over yuwon's dumbness!

... don't give him that look! how the hell is yolk sack weird?]


That's how eggs work! It's not sucking something through the shell!

[assumedly.]

[ that's what he thinks...

or so his face seems to say. though, yuwon's usual lack of expression is right back seconds later. there's a brief moment where he seems to consider how to explain this, and yet... he decides simply not to.

he looks back at his egg, who like before remains completely silent. there are no message prompts, or even the usual feeling he got when the egg was excited. was he just not reacting to the people here? he seems to ignore bakugo for a a solid minute before he does eventually speak.
]

This guy could be different than what you're used to.

[ but again, who knows what kind of eggs bakugo is used to... ]

Something like that happened before, but he doesn't react now no matter what I've tried. [ he also doesn't exactly have the means to feed it here, either. that said: ] I mean, you're so loud, I doubt it can't hear you.

[that egg isn't going to shield you forever, yuwon. not if you keep making those faces at him. bakugo notes the hesitation, figures the guy's going to talk about it... and then scowls like a beast when yuwon decides to keep his damn mouth shut. he was just curious, dammit!

fine! keep your shitty secrets. bakugo leans back in the pool and puts his elbows on the rim, hands dangling in the water. it's not like he isn't the kind of person who likes quieter hangouts anyways. enough time spent here and he'll have checked of his "social" mark for the fucking year at this rate.

oh. yuwon's actually gonna talk? ... a petulant "don't give a shit" is tempting. he's a young man after all, and a brat.]


What's it supposed to be?

[certainly not some kind of chicken. unless yuwon got it from that hybrid chimera thing...]

WHA-?! I'M NOT LOUD, YOU ASSHOLE!! YOU'RE PISSING ME OFF!!

[case in point. for both.]

Maybe he doesn't like you!

[ it's true that there may have been no real merit in keeping secrets in a place so far removed form their original worlds. regardless, it's more out of habit that he tends to keep to himself than anything else. still, it's true that this isn't his first exchange from bakugo and considering what they've already exchanged in the past, a few additional details wouldn't be any real skin off his back. fair is fair... ]

I don't actually know. Normally, it'd say what type of egg it is, but the details are concealed. [ showing up as a legitimate "?" - question mark instead of its species. it also suggests it being hatched, but doesn't provide information on how that growth is decided. ]

... you're being loud right now. [ ... he looks back at the egg. ]

It's possible.

[bakugo can't argue operating under habit. even if it means little here, he still won't tell people about midoriya's quirk, because it's a secret in their world. well, was a secret, but... it's not for anyone else to know right now unless midoriya wants them to know. bakugo's not the kind to talk much about himself either, outside of those boisterous claims and getting annoyed at people for accidentally interfering with what he wants. so mature...

but he's got his own curious side, and yuwon's someone that has piqued his interest more than once.]


Huh? Where'd you get it then?

[he says "it'd say" so now bakugo's thinking this guy got it off a marketplace or someone dropped it into his proverbial lap one way or another. both of which are weird. still not getting yuwon might be capable of pulling up a fucking stat sheet on things like some menu in a fantasy game... which is weird as fuck and kinda cool if he can.]

Can it. [he was being emphatic! that's all! (but he does quiet down. go figure.) bakugo eyes the egg as well.] They better not be randomly shoving eggs into our rooms.

[ it's true that he's quieted down a fair amount by the time he asks his inquiries. perhaps, that's why yuwon also seems to temporarily drop the topic (and criticism) of the volume of his voice. ]

It was a reward I was given in the beginning. [ it wasn't the first reward he's ever received, but maybe it was the largest one given. which he feels was only fair considering he put his life on the line for it. ]

You say that, and yet you were so curious... [ meaning, shhh it's okay to admit you secretly want an egg too bakugo. as if to punctuate his point, as in line with his usual fashion, he also adds a small: ] You can't have mine.

[ are you sick of him yet? ]

[bakugo's loud and explosive with a short temper, but like explosions, they go off and then die down quickly. chain reactions notwithstanding. he's still curious about the egg though, already having assumed it's a badass dragon in there.]

Reward from LILITH or something from home? [because it seems strange lilith would reward someone with something like that. they tend to focus on implants and augmentations, technological crap. but if that's not the case...]

Obviously you're not gonna tell me shit, so how else am I gonna find out?!

[back to being loud again. (look, if he finds out yuwon got a dragon egg as his reward for something kaiju fight related, and bakugo ended up with themed cup ramen for life (for three months) there's gonna be words. WORDS.) he's still peering at the egg, so curiosity is not abated.]

I DIDN'T ASK FOR YOURS!!

[excuse you. been sick of him since first laying eyes on him! hmph.]

[ thanks for assuming it's something better than it actually is...

but, that's an issue for future yuwon who is back in his world, vs. whatever yuwon is presently existing in front of bakugo.
] From home. [ he clarifies a bit quietly, as he ponders a similar line of thought. he does wonder if there was any real merit in having it here, unhatched as it were, and unable to be hatched without the right conditions from home. regardless, he still decides to take it as a win.

if they were able to provide items like this, perhaps there was a method of regaining strength, after all. despite this consideration, he then gives a slight quirk of his lips, clearly unbothered by the reaction.
]

So you're not denying you want one. [ well, ] You seem like you'd be good at caretaking. [ minus how loud he is. he did seem diligent, and for all intents and purposes, it's clear bakugo put a lot of thought into his actions. ]

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-21 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[look, he's not a fucking pessimist. but yuwon's free to disappoint him later.

depends on whether yuwon is able to hatch said egg here in this world or if he has to wait until he goes home... which would be pretty shit if they brought him the egg here and he can't do shit with it.]


Is that good or bad? [it could be seen as an insult if they pulled it from yuwon's home rather than, you know, sending him home. then again, having something from home would hit the nostalgic area and be something yuwon could use. bakugou still operates under the idea of improving while in neo tokyo, so perhaps there's the potential of recreating the hatching criteria?]

Who wouldn't want a badass dragon, idiot. [that shouldn't even be a question. bakugou would put the work in to get it, if that was occasion here. he frowns a bit at the compliment to his potential caretaking.] If I wanted to, of course I'd be.

[but he's never had impetus to do so, not having a pet at home and not having time or space at u.a.]

[ it's a difficult question to answer, if just because he genuinely doesn't know the answer. while the future was written out so clearly to him— that was only the future of his previous timeline. a timeline where this egg didn't exist. ... and clearly one where he wasn't here.

is it better to have it here in the vague, very unlikely possibility that he could hatch it? or was it better not to even hold onto that belief at all. there's a complex mix of emotions that lay beneath the surface. one he doesn't actually wanted to stir, and so...
]

I don't know. [ he answers honestly. considering bakugo has also be forthcoming in his own way, yuwon wanted to at least respond in tune to that. ... and he does clarify with: ] Either way, it's dangerous so maybe it's better off not being utilized here. [ considering it hailed from unknown origins, there always was that risk that it was more of a problem than a solution. ]

... so even you have fantasies of a dragon. [ lol. ] They're a fairly antisocial species. [ coming from yuwon... ]

[personal profile] blastedass 2024-04-26 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[the silence he gets indicates the answer's not easy to come by. whether that means yuwon doesn't know or just doesn't want to say is unknown and bakugo eyes him in quiet for a bit before throwing the topic out the proverbial window. he's not going to chase down something yuwon doesn't want to talk about. not unless it's of dire importance.

at least he's honest about it.]


You know it's dangerous? [that's an interesting aspect to be sure of. bakugo looks at the egg, wondering if it's something lilith provided yuwon with as a weapon, a challenge, a taunt or something else. "dangerous" things can be useful here, if they can be controlled. or at least in the outsiders' case, worked with.]

Who doesn't? One of the Pro Heroes in my world has a Quirk that lets her transform into a dragon. [and so many kids thought she was one of the coolest things to grace the face of the planet. he leans back in the water.]

Antisocial or prefer one or two close companions? [yuwon wouldn't be talking to him right now (neither would bakugo) if he was completely antisocial.]
