Sounds like I'm going to have to make some more, then. [There, that lines up at least the next two baking projects. He doesn't have a lot of time to dedicate to it - what with missions, training, two jobs and studying - but he likes to when he can. It's relaxing.
Raidou considers this, nodding. Sure, maybe he hasn't been feeling too great about his skills since he arrived here, but there's one thing he's still confident on, and that's his aim.]
[Fair warning. He doesn't make a habit of snacking on sweets, saving them for occasional desserts or things like these. Raidou's not going to have much luck dumping three bags of varieties on Bakugo's doorstep. A sampler grab-bag would be the more ideal route.
But hell if he's going to stop Raidou from learning more about baking. Bakugo makes time to cook his own things as well.
The blonde arches a brow at the suggestion. He's had pair up requests, but this is a first time to ask for the opposing team. A smirk curves the corner of his lips.]
[He shrugs lightly.] I don't know. I'm still new at this.
[Hey, if Bakugo doesn't want to eat too many sweets, there are plenty of other people who will! He can just accept them when Raidou brings them by.]
I'm already on the winning team.
[He gives Bakugo a little grin as he pops the last bit of his cookie into his mouth. Raidou should know better than to egg Bakugo on when it comes to a competition, but he can't help it. It's too fun to tease him.]
[Bakugo might not want to eat too many sweets, but he's not completely adverse to them! And maybe he does want to sample Raidou's cooking. Sue him. Also cooking with the guy is a good experience because Raidou's not a damn ball of energy. The rambunctious type at least.]
What was that? [Bakugo narrows his eyes and leans towards Raidou, mouth curling in a challenging sneer.] Don't think I'm gonna go easy on you.
[There's going to be a big difference this time; Bakugo's not going to lose! Granted he still hasn't succeeded in besting Raidou in swordplay yet... but damn if he doesn't continue to try.]
Tch, we'll see how good a swordsman is at shooting.
[He occasionally places Raidou in a more feudal era, but has gotten the feeling he might be in a time period that's more modern than that. Especially if there were rudimentary rifles and pistols... Hence the curiosity.
No comment on the well-rounded preparations because Bakugo agrees 100%. Just impresses him more.
JUST YOU WAIT!! HE'LL HAVE YOU ON YOUR BACK AT SWORD POINT SOON ENOUGH!!]
Hm? [5th of May, huh.] Could set up something big for that...
[Outsider laser tag. Hell, they could "rent out" the arcade, or do something in the simulator.]
There are many. But if you're asking what I use, typically a revolver. Here I've taught myself to use an automatic handgun, since it's what was available.
[Besides, it holds so many more rounds. Very handy.
At the mention of something big, Raidou shakes his head.]
It doesn't need to be anything big. Really. Just whoever wants to come is fine.
[Shouldn't be surprising that he's not into having a big deal made over his birthday.]
A revolver. What other technology do you have? Take it you're past the horse and carriage.
[Damn, so maybe Raidou's world is further along than he thought. Bakugo frowns in contemplation. The automatic being Raidou's choice here isn't surprising.]
Yeah, I learned to use one when I joined the force.
[Standard issue protocol, even with his Quirk and status as an Outsider.
Damn, there goes his plans of throwing a big party for Raidou's birthday. (No, he wouldn't do that. Bakugo doesn't like big parties in the first place and certainly wouldn't do one of his own unless roped into somehow.) But setting up a dorm-wide laser tag competition? ... Possibly.]
If an announcement goes out, a lot of people are gonna come.
[Hm.]
I'd want the best team... Just won't mention it's your birthday.
[Okay so perchance Bakugo would set up something small in the back people can stumble on and then the word will spread and it'll be Raidou's turn to squirm.]
I am from 1922, not 1822, yes? We have things like streetcars and automobiles. [He grins a little, shaking his head. He's been over this with other people here, but he never thought one would be Bakugo.]
I suppose if we tell the whole base, we will accommodate whoever wants to play. The more the merrier. It can just be a game for a game's sake.
[Many people have tried convincing him that it's fine for him to celebrate his birthday - or more like let others celebrate it for him. Even if it is a little embarrassing, he'll be gracious.]
[Growled in a dry tone. Sue him. Not really, but he certainly hadn't thought Raidou from the 1900s. Despite the look of his uniform, which Bakugo speculated was anachronistic, and calling him Shashou. The use of swords and demons and sealing rituals gave the indication of something not so modern. It's not like he and Raidou talked about the guy's past.
He quickly re contextualizes Raidou's world and time frame in his mind. The swordsman's uniform still looks military. Anyways, moving on.]
Haa?! Fuck that! If I'm going to play, I'm going to come out on top of everyone else! Team or solo!
[Always a competition with Bakugo. A game is never just a game. Why play otherwise? You keep score? That's competitive! SO SOMEONE HAS TO FUCKING WIN!
Bakugo grew out of birthday celebrations. Now it's a big deal over what he thinks is "nothing" and other people (his classmates) have never accepted that from the grouch. He'll agree with Raidou on this too.]

This is not Bakugo defending his right to be Raidou's taste tester, no of course not!
... he'll fight for it, dammit!]
Aa. All right. I've got time tomorrow. You sure you don't want to be on the winning team?
