[defendure]

Mm? If you ask at the end, sure.

[ He's walking more slowly despite being worried about their start time. Katsuki should be able to finish the food before they get to the door, he thinks? ]

[blastedass]

[Oh now he has to ASK for his own rating?! Fuck that!! (He will.) And while he's not wolfing it, Katsuki doesn't bother slowing down his steps either.

He'll leave Izuku behind if he doesn't pick up his pace. Does offer one ball-strewn stick to his date...]

[defendure]

[ It takes a full twenty seconds for Izuku to realize he's actually being offered food, at which point he sort of startles...but does accept it! So there's that. ]

[blastedass]

[Will it take the full twenty if Katsuki pokes him in the cheek with the end of the stick after five seconds of holding it out to him?

Poke poke. Pokey poke poke...]

[defendure]

[ No, he realizes it sooner then but he also stumbles off the sidewalk like a dumbass when he jumps so give him a second to catch himself? ]

2 AM tag. take it or leave it.

[blastedass]

[Did he manage to avoid stumbling into the rose bush and *deep breath*

Accidentally whacking an old lady with one of the branches making her throw her arms up in shock
Which sent a bottle of apple juice flying out of her handbag and landing on the brakes of a stroller
Which sent the baby carriage rolling off down the hill towards an intersection
Only to be grabbed at the last second by a passerby on a bicycle at the cost of
Sending his baguette sailing into the air and promptly bonking some poor guy on the top of the head
Which knocked him out and landed him face down in his bowl of soup
Getting the nearby diners' attention and leading to a small crowd of worried people gathering around as the present doctor quickly manages to revive the man who falls in love with her at first sight and results in the two agreeing to have lunch together?

Does his dumbass catch himself and prevent all that?]

i will take all of your tags

[defendure]

[ Since he was stumbling street side instead...he does, and just stubs his toe. Ow??

It's less dramatic but he does hop for a second as he shakes it off.

So that's smooth? ]

[blastedass]

[All is spared. Katsuki still gives him a flat look. Amazing he doesn't fall over on the bus or subway with people bumping him.]

Smooth.

[Not. He's really dating this.]

[defendure]

[ Just try to keep in mind the reasons why, Katsuki. Izuku's gone bright red, and just.

Eats the takoyaki to avoid having to defend himself... ]

[blastedass]

[Well he's not harping on him about it further, right? And he's got some takoyaki to munch on as a balm. Spicy though, so enjoy that. All the practice he's done to make it palatable are gonna be put to the test.

Bakugou's heading their way to the room. Snack was worth the brief stop. Didn't want to do the room hungry and then have to wait for dinner after.]

[defendure]

[ Izuku manages it! He's been trying to acclimate so Katsuki doesn't have to cook special for him. He produces their tickets to sign in, and they get the introduction spiel - no phones or items really, just themselves and their brains, they get three hints total they can ask for if they get stuck, and there's an hour time limit. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki doesn't cook special for him. (Most of the time.)

He washes his hands and face before getting inside so at least he's presentable without hot sauce decorating his lips.

And there goes the introduction spiel. Katsuki pays attention to the rules, not having done one of these before. The restrictions on phones and items are fine, and of course he's not going to destroy things; this is an escape room, not a stress room.

Still sounds interesting.]

[defendure]

[ Leaves off the spice special? Whatever the case may be. Izuku's also fine with just dying let's be honest.

The first one is the advanced version. Then the expert, then the mystery. The advanced course room they're ushered into is - well, a very small entry way with two locked doors and several bookshelves. There's two doors to enter in, side by side, and they're each meant to go through one - they have to speak back and forth through a small hole in the wall and pass items back and forth to solve the door unlocking puzzle, but the doors they're trying to open go to the same room.

There's an intercom they can use for hints, but first step is getting into the room itself, as the employee explains before they shut the entry. They need to find and assemble the key(s). ]

amusingly, mom, nii-san, and i just did our first escape room early oct on vacay. it was fun!

[blastedass]

[He won't leave off the spice, he'll usually make two versions or just spice one half of the dish is in a large enough pan. Spicy spice isn't something you can just "add" at the end like salt and pepper. Sure hot sauce exists, but it's better cooked into the dish. That said, the times he does cook for the two of them, he's conscientious of Izuku's lower tolerance of heat. Most of the time.

Ugh, go die on your own time.

Advanced. Bakugou narrows down and focuses on the room as they're led into it. Two locked doors and bookcases. Hm... wait, they're not going into the same room together?! That's not what he thought, but hey, not complaining. This is a new experience. Course that means he has to speak more. Damn it. Forced cooperation is key then.

As soon as he's left alone in his room, he quickly goes for the bookshelves.]

Check every book for a key or if its hiding something. Don't forget to check under the bookshelves as well for something taped under them.

i love them

[defendure]

Obviously! [ Izuku's already checking his side, voice not muffled through the hole. Their rooms are a little dark, but light filters through his side after a second, though dimmer than a usual lamp. ]

Light switch. Ah, hey, these are all murder mysteries!

[blastedass]

[Don't fucking "obviously" his instant deductive rationalizations! Katsuki works through his own books, pulling them off and shaking each one via a light grip on the spine to leave the pages as look as possible for anything to fall out. Pictures, cards, keys, whatever.]

Light switch to what? And how many books are there over there?

[defendure]

I mean, the lights were off - uh, maybe they weren't on your side.

[ There's shuffling on his side. ]

About twenty. There's some jars, too, I'm opening them now.

[blastedass]

Mine was only a little dark.

[He's going to look for a light switch anyways. And still make sure every book gets a quick shake search for secrets.]

Did they give us paper to write shit down on?

[defendure]

Nope. Maybe there's paper in the next room though?

[ He doesn't expect the initial puzzle to be too hard since the main story should be inside...

There's a triumphant little noise on his side of the divider as he rattles out a - this might be a key? He'll try it in his door. No joy. ]

Kacchan, come here a sec, this might work on your half somehow.

[blastedass]

What the fuck? How we going to write down clues?

[Twenty books about murder mysteries. Shouldn't they notice any titles that are out of place or some kind of pattern? Katsuki stacks the books on one shelf as best he can to line all the spines up. Nothing inside them, so that sucks...

Checking under the shelves now. Well, he was, before Izuku pulls him away.]

Found something?

[To the hole in the wall.]

[defendure]

We haven't even heard the basic story yet, that's probably inside.

[ He puts his hand through the hole, scarred and holding something. ]

Looks like half a key or a key, but it doesn't go to my lock.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki accepts the item and turns it over in his hand, using the light through the hole to get a better look at it.]

Okay. I need to find the damn light switch over here if I want to see a keyhole. Anywhere besides the fucking door.

[Which he goes to try the key in first off because why the hell not.]

[defendure]

Mm, check the walls I guess?

[ Izuku's going back to his explorations.

The key fits, but doesn't seem to be complete yet? ]

[blastedass]

Fuck! It doesn't work yet!

[He shoves it into his pocket and quickly resumes searching the room, finding the hidden light switch almost a second later.

That gives him more ease with which to scan the shelves and books again. Seeing the titles brings it into sharper focus and he snorts at the older copy of The Spine Key. Should've been obvious. A quick feel along the spine, not just gripping it at the sides, gets him the outline of the key and he works on shaking it out of the hidden slip.]

Got the other half.

[defendure]

Check if it works? Maybe you can open my door from the other side. I haven't found anything else yet...

[ He's still rifling through books. ]
