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 ♥ ))

(At the beginning of this little get together...)

This is the part where we should introduce ourselves and get to know each other, right?

(Yeah? There are a lot of new people and even among the veterans, there are people on other teams he doesn't get to interact with much.)

Since some of us are shy, let's keep it easy. (Holding up his fingers and counting down each point.) Name, where you're from, your favorite ice cream flavor, the most surprising thing about you, and who here you could defeat in a fight.

(That escalated.)

[Free food? A cookout with all of the dudes? Sign Taryon up! The weather is a bit chilly for an outdoor party, but it's not all too bad compared to his home. He's found all around the party with a can of soda in one hand and a plate of meat in the other.] Pretty intense fight, huh? [He asks in between bites.

And, of course, an enchanted pet roomba comes along with him. Kalimac stays as far away from the water as possible, usually beeping and roaming indoors by the grill, where the floor is cleaner.]

[ Aki hadn't been particularly enthusiastic about going to some kind of 'guys' event, since most of the people he had met here had been... Children... But he also can't resist the urge to spend a little bit of time enjoying himself after the intensity of the last mission.

The booze is what he goes for straight away, and ends up hovering at the edge of the party for a while, bottle of beer in one hand and cigarette in the other. What, a man can't have his vices? If anyone looks at him, he just raises his eyebrow. ]


What?

[ Unfortunately, however, Aki is a Motherâ„¢, so he is quick to go over to take part in the actual cooking, almost taking over if he notices anyone doing it poorly. He really can't help himself...

Then, later, he's letting himself sink into the onsen proper, his topknot out, so his longer hair can fan out around him, looking peaceful. His prosthetic arm is all the more obvious here, the fingers flexing absently as he breathes out and tries to relax.

[ 1. Toji has arrived here at his own pace and he has made a beeline towards the food since that's the only thing he's interested in right now. The stack of food, mostly whatever meat he can find, is mountainous, and he takes a seat either away from the group or maybe the only space left is next to someone else. It's an onsen, so he's ready to rinse off and bathe whenever, having only a towel wrapped around him and shamelessly showing off his impressive physique. Occasionally, he'll chime into the conversation above. Once he's finished eating, he'll head to the area to rinse off, because yeah, he's also here to bathe. Interesting enough, Toji has picked up no alcohol. He doesn't.. drink?

2. Once he's done with that, Toji will rejoin the group and remove the towel, placing it around his neck as he finds an area in the bath to soak. After a moment a silence, it's time to start the awful guy gossip with a lopsided grin. To anyone willing to answer: ]


Which team has the prettiest girls?

[ Ever since Yuji told him about it, Ryoji has been excited to visit the onsen, and this is a much better plan than the last time he visited one, where he may or may not have been executed by one Mitsuru Kirijo. There’s no risk of running into girls this time.

He’s in much better spirits today than he’s been since before the Yamadenki battle – perhaps all he needed was a change of pace to shake off the existential dread, wao. It’s easy enough to leave into his curious and social nature, flitting between people and the food both. Barbecue is familiar enough, but the pizza is new to him, so he rolls up a slice like it’s sushi and starts eating it that way. Oh.

When he’s not in the water eating pizza like a cryptid, he might be trying to lure out some of the cats with a fish, but they seem a little wary of him, for one reason or another. Surely, patience is the key, but for good measure– ]


Don’t worry, I’m sure it’s safe. Here, I’ll show you!

[ He’s lifting the artificial fish towards his mouth…

Otherwise, he’ll approach anyone who isn’t otherwise engaged in conversation at the moment with a can of beer in each hand. ]


Hey there. Want to join me for a drink?

[ He’s still Very Confused about legal drinking age, but it’s probably fine. ]

[It's pretty obvious that Raidou isn't great at this socializing thing, despite organizing both a base-wide dinner and a teen party in the past. He spent both of those events keeping busy with the food as a way to not have to talk to too many people.

Oh look, games. Games are good. He probably needs someone to explain to him exactly what he needs to do with these cornhole beanbags, but he listens and nods wordlessly at the instructions. Once he's ready, he spends a moment eyeing up the target, and sinks all four of his bags into the hole with almost no effort. On top of those incredible sword skills he has, he's also a crack shot with great aim.

He turns and looks at the opponent on his side, flat as ever.]


Did I win?

[You wouldn't expect Vergilius to be here, but here he is. Tall, dark, and as wrinkled and scarred as ever. As with any awkward introvert that also happens to be in the form of a large intimidating man, he's going to keep at a distance from most of the socializing, taking a sip at his booze as he watches everyone else.]

[He is looking over at the rest, occasionally moving in to poke a bit at the food, though he's not eating much.]

[He is approaching the horseshoes at some point, though, giving them an odd look.]


What is this...

[Or, he's just doing....his best to.............mingle(????). He's pointing to some of the drinks.]

What is the strongest.

[Tell him now.]

i. [ there is absolutely no reason he should be here. he tended to avoid most social obligations, but he figures it may have been a good time to get him out and about. though, it's not like he wants to make a spectacle of it, either. hence, he's been mostly keeping to himself.

maybe later out of nowhere, he lets his egg out to rest in the hot springs. allowing it to soak as he peers over at it. as he thought, there's none of the usual response from it, but he can tell it's alive. for whatever reason, it just seems to be dormant, perhaps similar to before. he thought he made progress with it, but...
]

You rascal. Are you ignoring me again? [ normal things like cursing out your egg.

but, feel free to think he's talking to you...
]

ii. [ ... and with that, he's leaving with his egg. thank you. ]

[After the horrible experience of raiding fucking Disneyland with all its traps, battling hybrids and crazy scientists, getting almost swallowed and chewed on and electrocuted by gecko kaiju, and whatever the fuck that rift was, Bakugo's up for a break. Getting an invite to the hot springs was weird... but this time around, he's going for the hell of it. Cajoled by himself of all people. Just gonna crash there and eat, rest, soak, train, whatever.

💥 1) Anyone who knows Bakugo knows he's good in the kitchen. So this time, he's not in it. Kaito's free to do all the cooking and Bakugo's grabbing a plate to bounce. Well, not too far. He'll take a seat at one of the tables to the side, not wanting to have guys splashing his food with hot spring water or whatever. Ripping into a few kebabs with rice and vegetables on the side. You might notice he has bandages on, wrapped around his shoulder and arm, and one on a cheek, but other scrapes, cuts, and burns are either already healed up, or in the state of fading thanks to having friends who've got healing implants. Join him for a meal?

💥 2) Hand eye coordination is nothing short of amazing for him and Bakugo's tossing horseshoes towards the post or slamming beanbags through the holes in the board. The first game had to get explained to him (it's a western thing) but the second one is obvious enough. Competitive as ever, he initially thought the games were boring, but egged on enough...


HA! Beat that, bastard!

💥 3) He doesn't drink. Multiple reasons. But that doesn't mean he won't hang out in the pool with a cold bottle beside him. Probably water due to sweating out in the steamy bath. Considering the only covering is a white towel draped around his shoulders (and the water below his chest) the mixture of well-defined body, noticeable puncture scars on his shoulder and side + a burst-like one centered on his chest, and the aforementioned bandages easily suggest what kind of life he's come from. Bakugo seems content to lounge back against the rock wall and soak up the steam and heat around him. This is his kind of socializing: aka, not.]

[ Oh, Winter loves a good party, and is happy to flit around from station to station, a drink usually in hand, sampling the food as it’s made available. He has an easy manner despite being a giant goth man, and integrates himself with no problem. Perhaps he’s stepped up to join your conversation?

At some point, he makes a grab for a tray of tacos, stops short, and turns to ask, ]


What are these made of again?

[ SURELY NOT KAIJU—

Anyway, later on, Winter settles himself into the hot spring to lounge, long hair tied up in a messy bun with a few raven-colored strands hanging loosely in front of his face. Most notable is his tattoo, a series of eight coiling tentacles that start somewhere on his back and circle his limbs, his neck, his torso. The ink is so dark as to almost be lightfast. Perhaps it’s a trick of the light, or the water, but did one of those tendrils just… move? ]

( regardless of my other shenanigans,

as izou fiddles with the new can wriothesley brought him in the bath, having some intoxicated difficulties with snapping the pull tab back with his thumb: )


Let's say, hypothentically... ( hypothetically ) ... someone got you a gift. What's the, ... the best way to repay 'em for that? What'd you wanna get 'em in return?

( For Kiritsugu's part, he feels quite out of his element. Wallflower that he was, never being good at small talk or opening up about himself. Frankly, he's not even certain why he came.

Well, no. That was a lie. Irisviel encouraged him to come. To relax, to make friends. And his wife always gets what she wants, whether or not this felt like a herculean task.

As such, he's taken to sitting on a bench outside the springs of the onsen, taking advantage of the free drinks, and sticking his nose into a book: hardback cover, with lettering in... Cyrillic? Curious, given the appeared to be quite Japanese. Anyone is free to pester him! Needing to report back to Iri with at least one (1) conversation tonight. Or at least, one that didn't involve violence or death threats. )

[Manjoume feels a little out of his element here--it's not that he isn't capable of socializing or hasn't been to gatherings similar to this before, but he's so used to being at this sort of thing with other duelists. Here, however, he's the only one.

He has his cards as always, but instead of talking about Duel Monsters, he instead asks whoever decides to strike up a conversation with him--]


What kind of games are you familiar with? Either ones you picked up here, or while in your own world? If it's the latter, is it something that can be played here?

[He's curious to know what people might have played instead of Duel Monsters, if they took part in games at all.]
