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 ♥ ))

[Pump-grill-kin. Pump-grill-kin. Pump-grill-kin-kun.

No, Bakugo has occasionally dwelt on the idea of getting his implant removed. He knows at least three people with healing implants that could likely keep him stabilized through the process. But unfortunately, this is the only way to keep in contact with other Outsiders without seeing them in person, and a ticket to... everything else. So the necessary evil remains.]


Some would say so. [No comment on the reboot. It's a bad joke. The Outsider restaurant is more relevant, especially because Bakugo knows two of the workers there, a cook and a bouncer. He snorts at the "boozed up" part, glancing around the current cookout. A number of beers and the like are already open.] Uh-huh. You did it for free.

[He notices Kaito's hand and the scars on it. Somewhat reminiscent of Midoriya... Red eyes flick up to the other's face again when he speaks. To be present during the tsunami, the kaiju attack, rescuing as many as possible, but forced to face the limitations of being one person... Bakugo furrows his brows. He knows that feeling.]

Focus on what you succeeded at doing. You saved them. [Dwelling on what you failed to do will only drag you down. Give failure its due, but turn it to a springboard rather than a ball and chain. A hard lesson to swallow, for him too.]

Aa. If we can find out why the hell they're happening in the first place, we can put a stop to it. [Something's bringing these creatures to Neo Tokyo. It's unnatural that all of them would be attracted here with almost bi-monthly frequency. Eat each other, you damn freaks!]

Hn. Set up in a tunneling building. You'll know it's safe. [At least. Though a cart's mobility could keep it safe too? But Kaito would have to tend to it during an attack before he could do his Outsider role...]

Shut up. [Growled back at him. Don't throw his earlier grouses in his face, dammit! That's his job. To your face, Kaito. But he's not going to offer more advice with that comment. Accepts it for what it implies. The guy acknowledges his limits and success and that's all he can do going forward. Bakugo will always push to break his own limits, yet he's still only human.

Yeah, with the business of new arrivals and random fucked-up happenings around the city combined with the fluctuating heralds and arrivals of the kaiju, it's hard to spend time and actually think about larger-picture things. Such as trying to stop all of it.]


LILITH has interrogation chambers. [Which Bakugo participated in one time, though eschewed any unscrupulous efforts to extract information. Minus losing his temper and letting Denji nail the guy in the nuts... Hey it worked though?] I don't think the rift was the hybrid group's doing it. It felt random. [But he's not ruling out another party being behind it.] It could be they're drawn here rather than someone sending them.

[And likewise, if he finds out that LILITH is somehow responsible for the kaiju attacks, he'll turn on them in anger immediately. After all, they're mercenaries. They're not here of their own free will. LILITH would be wise to keep that reality eternally in their minds.]

Don't you want attention? You won't sell shit if no one sees you.

[He'll hold that 1st Free voucher though. No takebacks.]
