[blastedass]

I did.

[Hence no yelling or berating him. Just some smug advice for the future. Once Yuji has it moving, Katsuki nods.]

Yeah. Hold it in the air, with the hole facing up.

[eyescar]

[ He moves it around, shifting it absently, making a mental note to show this off to Choso later. ]

Hole up... Like that. I got it.

[blastedass]

[Once it's positioned, Katsuki holds his hand above the orb, fingers down. It takes a second, but droplets of sweat start to leak down his palm and drool onto his middle finger, then start to drip drip drip into the orb. He only puts in enough to make a small puddle at the bottom before making a fist to cut off the supply.]

Okay, now roll it around gently, so that coats the insides.

[What'd you do with your friend this evening? "MADE BOMBS!"]

[eyescar]

[ Sometimes, true friendship is making sweat and blood hand grenades.

Yuji flexes the little orb, moving it this way and that - he can't really say it's gross when it's literally made out of his own blood, but if anyone was watching them... They'd definitely find this weird. ]

We definitely have to try this next mission.

[blastedass]

[Hey it's a complex dare, but if this works out, then he'll be able to supply Yuji with explosive grenades during battles. Also Yuji gets to flex his powers more.

And Katsuki professes he's not a nerd...

Anyone watching them can fuck off. There's sweat and blood going into this. Though hopefully those two can mean there won't be the proverbial third: tears.]

That's why I wanted to try this. Whatever's out in the desert's gonna be a pain in the ass.

[eyescar]

Do you think we can make a set of them before the fighting starts? Choso could help too.

[ Choso could probably use them, actually, or make some more, or whatever he wants to do. ]

[blastedass]

Yeah. I can't be with you all the time out there, but at least you can carry some of me with you.

[... and then goes beet red when his brain catches up with his mouth. FUCK!]

[eyescar]

Well, it's going to be the same for me to you, in that case.

[ Yuji, at least, doesn't see anything wrong with the comment, and just beams. ]

Like protecting each other from afar.

[blastedass]

'rusei...

[It's not wrong, just... embarrassing. Ugh. Katsuki rubs the side of his head in annoyance, but doesn't dismiss Yuji's comment.]

All right. I can't detonate this externally, so it's gonna have to get shaken or heated to go off.

[eyescar]

Can you shake it and throw it before it goes off?

[ Yuji frowns, leaning forward to look at their handiwork. ]

Or put some sweat on the outside, something like that?

[blastedass]

Don't shake it! It'll explode if it's roughed up.

[Nitroglycerine and all.]

All you have to do is throw it.

[eyescar]

Right. So how are we going to store them?

[ If they're running around and they'll just go off... ]

[blastedass]

Running around isn't going to set them off. I usually carry two or three of them on my belt when I'm in costume.

[Yuji's seen how Katsuki bounces around when he fights. It takes really pitching the things to get them to impact and explode.]

Mine aren't as rudimentary as this though.

[He frowns at the grenade above Yuji's hand. This was just a prototype to see if the idea would even work.]

[eyescar]

Maybe we can put something around it, or figure something out with the blood. There must be a way or something.

[ Yuji frowns, leaning back to stare at the weird creation they've made. ]

This is just a prototype, anyway. We can work out the issues with it as we make more.

[blastedass]

Aa. Some plastic wrap inside would prevent it from absorbing into the inner wall.

[That's not a big problem, if the coating of sweat isn't enough to get through the shell of the grenade, but it's an idea to reinforce the strength of the wall.]

There's always freezing it.

[That would prevent the risk of accidental explosions, but the impact to made it detonate would have to be even greater than the "wet" version.]

[eyescar]

I wonder if we can get some back in the hotel area.

[ Yuji turns the object carefully, thoughtful. ]

If it's frozen, I could still try and explode the blood, the way aniki taught me. It might still work for me then.

[blastedass]

There's some in the campervans.

[At least there's a roll in his...]

Damn, good idea. That would work.

[Using his Quirk's sweat this way does require external stimulus.]

[eyescar]

Let's try it out that way first. We can freeze this one and see what happens.

[ This is science! Ratio would be proud, right? ]

[blastedass]

Oy. We should throw this one first and see if it even blows up.

[If the sweat dilutes too much with the blood, it might not even explode. Though considering mixing his sweat with Yuji's blood earlier definitely exploded even when both were liquid...

Now that they have the process down, they can make another one (later) and freeze it.]

[eyescar]

Is there somewhere safe we can throw it?

[ Sure, they're in a desert, but... ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki gives him a look, then gestures to the WHOLE FUCKING DESERT!]

Anywhere!

[ ... though a second later, he seems to pause himself. ]

Fuck, but if that attracts the kaiju... never mind.

[Granted their vehicles have been rumbling along the whole time.]

[eyescar]

Yeah, but people are gonna get freaked out if there's just a random explosion!

[ Obviously!! ]

Is there a contained place anywhere nearby? I haven't explored a lot.

[blastedass]

[Considering Katsuki pops off explosions wherever, spooking other people doesn't ever register on his mind. They can toughen up.]

No. There's not even a damn mound of rocks in sight.

[He look disappointed. Kid wanted to see a boom.]

We can test it tomorrow.

[When it's light, when people are awake and ready, and threats are more easily handled.]

[eyescar]

Tomorrow, then. We'll keep it safe for now.

[ As if this is some kind of egg that needs to be taken care of. ]

And we can just relax for now.

[blastedass]

Yeah, yeah.

[Hopefully no one tries to crack a blood bomb thinking it's an egg.]

It worked.

[He can't keep the pride out of his voice.]
