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 ♥ ))

Don't view me like that. [ he corrects him. ]

It's not an ordinary egg. [ he holds it out, as if to exemplify his point by showing the patterns on its surface, and the clear fact that it's a decent amount larger than a standard egg. ]

[ Megumi regards this egg with interest now, having never seen anything like it. Still, there's no indication that it's a lifeform that can speak and understand. At least, not as it's still unhatched. ]

It's not ... [ But why is he talking to it ] Are you trying to promote its development?

[ Like pregnant women talking to their unborn babies ]

[ he doesn't especially enjoy... this pregnant woman treatment??

but, the statement itself isn't inaccurate. it's true he was trying to increase the % and the eggs overall potential to hatch. the last he recalls, it was a fairly small number. his brows furrow momentarily, before he looks back to megumi.
]

Not in the way you're thinking. [ ... ] When it wakes up, it tends to be fairly annoying. [ singing, trying to eat corpses he's saving for later, prompting him to hurry the fuck up.... ]

[ He is not following this conversation, but it's better than standing around and feeling annoyed at how much skinnier he is compared to Yuwon, so he shall continue to chase his curiousity. ]

Wakes up ...? Don't you mean 'hatches'?

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-04-12 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ you are perfect the way you are 🥺 ]

Not exactly. Sometimes it gets really active despite not being anywhere close to hatching. [ normally, he tended to be a bit more careful about what he says, but he didn't have much reservations about telling megumi. ]

[personal profile] seaurchin 2024-04-12 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ What does an active egg look like ... he has to know. Megumi glances at the egg with curiousity, reaching out to poke it. ]

So it ... talks to you? [ ??????? ]

Not exactly, but it has a certain way of communicating.

[ through message prompts mostly. then again, he does hear him singing, too. but, who knows if he could actually speak... ]

I also think it understands our words. [ he looks back it, recalling how it reacted to his threats. actually, the first time he realized it could comprehend the world around him when he toyed with the idea of killing it. ]

Yuwon-san, I'm going to trust you aren't making all this up or having a psychotic episode.

[ But he will bring him to the hospital if it's starting to look like the latter. ]

What sort of animal will hatch out of that egg then?
yuwon: (pic#17041715)

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-04-16 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
[ a psychotic episode...

he supposed maybe from the outside looking in, having a giant egg with strange patterns on it ... and limited information on it, could seem insane. he can't refute that fact, but psychotic episode was a bit much?
] Does that even make sense? [ it's a rhetorical question, of course. instead he focuses on answering his second inquiry. ] No clue.

I tried consulting others, but no one has any idea what will come out of this.

[ There's another glance at the egg and its interesting markings. ]

Where did you find it?

[personal profile] yuwon 2024-04-18 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
It was given as a reward, so it's likely a good item. The system is fair.

[ this may be the first time he's had megumi ask him this many questions... ]
seaurchin: (319)

[personal profile] seaurchin 2024-04-18 11:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ He wants to know more about eggy... ]

Are there any specific conditions to hatch it?

It seems to enjoy eating the carcasses of monsters. Or rather, it seems to feed off a specific type of energy. [ a brief pause as he seems to be struggling to come up with a valid comparison. ] Which I don't think exists here.

[ which he just knows from experience. that isn't to state it's the only method that exists, but it's true that it seemed dormant outside of those specific moments. ]
