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 ♥ ))

no subject
So you want it to be a surprise. [ maybe if they keep stating the obvious here, they can make more forward progress. ] Have you tried asking a friend of theirs and asking them to keep a secret?
no subject
folks who have mentioned march to him.
... ishmael. malkuth? malkuth. his brain screeching to a halt. )
Guess, that might work. But don't women tend to gossip... to each other 'bout that stuff?
no subject
But still, that's a valid point. Even if based on his limited experience, women tend to be more likely to enjoy planning surprises for others. ]
Can't say I have too much experience with that sort of thing. [ He lifts a hand. ] The other option is to tell us here who you're shopping for.
no subject
and while that suggestion makes sense, too... for some reason naming who he wants to present a gift to makes his head feel a little lighter in the heat of the bath. the embarrassing admission of it all. )
You... know a girl, named March?
( he's never gonna slap that seven on there... )
no subject
But he will act cool about it, taking another sip of his drink as he mulls this revelation over. ]
Sure. [ Is there anyone here who doesn't know March and upbeat energy by now? ] She's a nice young woman. Friendly, very welcoming. She'd probably like anything cute, or something related to photography.
[ Another second as he thinks... ]
But I think you could give her almost anything and she'd be happy to receive it. She's quite bent on befriending you, you know, so I'm sure she'd take this as a sign of things moving in the right direction.
no subject
and as wasted as he is, if anyone else had started this off by listing march's amiable traits, izou might've been a little miffed to hear it, of their knowing and of their familiarity with her, but it's true that she's tenacious when it comes to befriending literally everyone. he's been witness ( ? or heard of it ) to this many times now. a victim to it, even.
okay, but. what really shakes him hearing she's been talking about him to people? again? )
You're, tellin' me. Can't entirely fathom the why still, or the... the takin' whatever about me, the good or the bad, but...
( he trails off, bringing the can up to his face to hide the half-stammer of his speech, and then: )
Right direction... as friends.
no subject
Is it so hard to believe that she might want to be friends with you?
[ He has no idea what this guy's history is but his behavior (outside of being a sloppy drunk) hasn't painted him in any sort of negative light. ]
Unless that's not what you're interested in. In which case, you should probably tell her.
no subject
izou, drunk as he is, flinches at a possible implication here, raising his scratchy voice and body half-way out of the heat of the bath on an elbow— )
That's not what I—
( ... only to sink back down, the distress in his outburst only amplifying when he remembers how many eyes are here. )
... If I didn't want it, I wouldn't be askin' the whole lot of you, for advice. Comin' to terms with the fact that someone sees ya, for who you are... and won't leave, might be easy for you, but. Not for me.
no subject
Did I say it was easy for me? [ It's less an actual question than it is an offhand comment, said lightly and without any real inflection. ] I had to learn, the same as everyone else.
[ A lot of years of trying to unlearn bad habits, plenty of which still linger. ]
But I hope you're ready to get used to it. Seems like it'll be happening more often now that you're here.
no subject
wriothesley is patient in a way that can only be on purpose, a thing that doesn't dawn on izou but brings him down from the emotional high nonetheless.
and he's right. there is no avoiding everyone, what with the way they're bound to work together, the realization coiling in his chest until it sticks heavy to his ribs and comes out in an uneven breath. )
... Haah. Didn't mean t'mouth off like that.
( a glance away, then back. )
Really? You don't seem the type, to have had trouble shakin' hands with folks.
no subject
When the hand that feeds and cares for you suddenly tries to choke you without warning, you learn to be wary of any hands that reach out afterwards.
[ Is that a little too oblique? Ah well. And yet it's more than he's said to almost every other person he's met. But enough about him, and his voice picks up in volume and tone as he shuffles the conversation along. ]
March has a photo wall in her room. [ Presumably Izou knows this if they are in fact Friends™ (or getting there). ] Why not get her decorations for that?
no subject
not that he was particularly innocent in his case, or that he knew the depth of wriothesley's circumstances or cared to ask, but that little admission feels as genuine as two men can be five feet apart in the bath.
what he'll remember more intimately, though, is the turn of the other man's gaze, and of his advice. )
