[Good thing Dan Heng's not here to see Bakugo roll his eyes when the dragon mentions his powers being at full capacity here. Figures. He leans back on his bed as he reads through the explanation. A lot of what the guy says makes zero sense to him and likely doesn't have anything to do with his capability in Neo Tokyo slaying kaiju. But...]
You split a sea in half?
[And it's staying in half because Dan Heng wants it to be? Is this a good time to tell him he doesn't think their presence in this world remotely affects their real worlds? Which Bakugo believes are "paused" for all their current selves are concerned. Returning home places them right back where they were taken from, with no memories of this place, and if they come back, the same "Pause button" effect happens, as the return here with new memories from home added to their previous Neo Tokyo memories right where they left off. Maybe not a good time for that discussion...]
So your powers are only weakened here, since you're away from your world? Know-it-All told me about Imaginary energy. You guys can still use it here even though it's not part of your world.
[It makes sense that Dan Heng would be briefly de-powered after his experience in the caste. Bakugo doesn't want to dwell on that any more than they already have with the dragon's comment. Yeah hang on a second-]
What the hell do you mean they offered anesthetics?! You got the implant already?! [This is the first time he's ever heard of and Outsider getting anesthetics when they got an implant/upgrade surgery. (Link me to Dan Heng's surgery request; I need to see this for myself.) He's irked now.] No one should have to go through that damn procedure without any anesthesia! They always say they're saving what they have for life saving operations.
[And technically, powering up the Outsiders to do better is going to SAVE LIVES! Ugh, Bakugo's been harping on this thing since fucking summer. Though he's only really been able to make progress on it this month. At least something good came out of that goddamn trip to Romania.]
Raidou.
[Raidou's nickname is a little more OOC, but he immediately reminded me of these guys when I saw him, so "Shashou" stuck since the beginning. Japanese conductors do wear similar outfits, or at least the hats... Go with it.]
You should do something more active as well. If you only read, you're still alone in your head. [And while he's aware that can be a great distraction, it would only take the wrong combination of words or mentioned idea to send a flashback. As was proven just now when Bakugo rashly mentioned chains. He mentally facepalms and drags his hand down his visage with a brain full of cuss words. Goddammit!] Everyone shares a fucking sleeping bag then.
[Yeah I actually noticed your question to the mods and had to laugh because they were "please have mercy!" which I totally understand. BUT STILL!! If you're gonna poof away kidnapping and you know people sleep together, might want to have at least some comment on how. Sheesh. I know you can't cover all the tiny details, but that's not exactly "tiny" when you're dealing with seasoned battlers who are already obviously weirded out by the circumstances. Enough that others didn't eat or ate very little. Could've just said "kaiju bs" and I wold've "oh okay" without a problem. Anyways, enough ooc griping from me.]
Yeah, yeah. But you're not gonna make anyone feel better if you drag your bleeding ass into their room. They'll just freak out about your health instead. [Because so many of you extras are nice people who want to care about everyone else except yourselves. Ugh. Bakugo has too many of those kinds of companions. WHY?! Says the guy who grumpy checks in on people all the time.] Text them or call them. They'll get the intent.
[Listen, he’s trying. His mun went and asked Ratio’s mun about this even. Not like it helped much, since Dan Heng’s way of understanding all this is kinda different from the scholar’s.]
Yes. I’m more attuned to the Arbor waters, since they were where I was born. [Also being the reincarnated high elder probably has alot to do with that. But he doesn’t. Have to go into that.] People who cannot breathe underwater needed to reach the homeland, so I removed the obstacle.
[Thankfully he’s had that "origin worlds on pause" conversation in part with Yuji. It was both reassuring and confusing…Dan Heng doesn’t look forward to one day returning to his visit to the Shackling Prisons and all the chaos going on there with the escaped Borisin Warhead but. Well. At least it also meant he wasn’t just disappeared and leaving Orion to fend for himself…still very much an existential crisis waiting to happen if thought about too much.]
I believe so. It’s hard to tell for sure. There are many factors with imaginary energy- ah yeah so Dr. Ratio told you some about it. Perhaps it has to do with cognitive abilities; I’m more familiar with the waters of the Arbor, so I can construct and use them more easily, make shapes I'm most familiar with. But if there’s water already there to use…it takes less work to just use that. But even then it probably only works because I believe it to be so…
I’m sure the doctor gave you better information on the matter. Researching paths and aeons and the power they grant has been a topic of study for ages. I’m sure he has a firmer grasp on the measurements and specifics of it all. It is…fortunate that our power still works in a world separate from these beings.
[Be grateful Bakugo’s canon offers concise explanations for how powers work. Be very glad. And yeah move aside trauma this is more important-]
Oh. So that’s not normal. Yes, they said I had the option to be put under general anesthesia during the process. I agreed, and I’ll be going through with it tomorrow. It’ll be alright. [He was about to say he’s had worse but remembers comments like that aren’t exactly comforting. (And lmao I took so long to get back to you, you probably went and found it already, but yea it’s real. Looks like many outsiders have gotten the privilege of being sedated with poppies and the like for recent procedures too. Yay progress?)]
And. Hm. I agree, but I can see the reasoning. Still. Some people can die from the shock and pain of that sort of thing. [He’s. Pretty sure he was put under when LILITH operatives worked on putting his legs back together in Romania. Silver Rails above it’s a good thing they did; the dragon may very well have gotten much worse if he had to be awake for that. So. Yeah. Owch. He’s really lucky here, even if this is likely an apology thing on LILITH's behalf.]
Oh. Raidou is a kind soul, I’m not surprised. And…I suppose his hat does kind of look like a conductor’s… [...seeing as how Dan Heng is thinking of a bipedal little rabbit, the nickname is kind of endearing actually. He’s distinctly not going to share that however…and it’s the Submas dudes isn’t it- YEAH same!! Raidou looks like he could be their little brother, fr.]
That’s a good point. I suppose gardening is looking more and more appealing here. Not too strenuous, but still active. [And Dan Heng likes the greenhouse. Nice and warm there. Bakugo’s doing his best, the dragon knows that. A smile quirks up on his lips.] I suppose LILITH needs to invest in bigger sleeping bags then.
[Ah you spotted my suffering! Lmao…yeah…listen I’ve never modded a game so big, but I have GMed some tabletop rpgs, and just. Sometimes it’s BS from the monster. Players will believe that. I would roll with it. It’s what I am rolling with here really. Yeah that’s a pretty big detail…alas. I do feel sheepish for stressing the mods out haha oops…]
I mean I’d make sure not to bleed- oh. Hyperbole. Right. Alright alright I get your point. That…wouldn’t be conducive to rest on either front. [Such is the price of having good aligned friends, Bakugo. Especially of the “shounen protag” variety. But also it’s easier to ignore one’s own problems when fussing over others…hypocrisy abounds!] …I suppose that works. Texting and calling are…preferable to whatever check-in system Mr. Godzilla’s been employing recently. [Sir. Please stop screaming at dawn A.M.]
[You know, Bakugo's gonna let you two talk about Imaginary Energy and that shit; he'll be blowing things up with his Quirk without needing crazy explanations. Maybe accepting "it just works" as the reason is the better choice.]
Your world doesn't have boats?
[Ironically being more attuned to certain waters is easier to swallow, especially since Dan Heng was born there. The way he said he simply "removed the obstacle" meaning a fucking ocean is ridiculous. How powerful are these guys in their own world? At least someone else explained the "world pause" thing to him already. Yuji probably did well enough with the description.]
He told me your powers get boosted by familiarity. Then we argued about whether Imaginary Energy is really here or some fucked-up stand-in for everyone's variant of energy.
[Yeah, it was kind of charged, especially because Ratio kicked it off by calling Bakugo an idiot. Or at least implying it. Did not go over well. At least the argument was relatively peaceful despite that, neither side really "winning" since it boiled down to an arbitrary unknown.
As for Quirks, well... some have tried to be explained by science, and some are biologically explained, but most of them don't have any explanation beyond Quirk mutations make it possible. How else can you explain a human body making explosive sweat without blowing his own face, eardrums, and hands off? To say the least.]
Get the name of that fucking doctor.[Damn right he's going to slam open the hospital doors and yell at the staff! They didn't do shit for other people! Why the hell is this special treatment? (And then realize they did it because the Outsiders already suffered enough in Romania and will grumpily but understandingly accept the reason and stomp off irked like.) It's not going to be the normal until they get more supplies. Sounds more like the hospital did this current thing as a mercy.]
That's why they need to put people under before they cut into their damn bodies! [Damn bastards. No one should have to endure that kind of suffering while awake, especially if they have ways of putting them under for the process. Bakugo scowls into the air above him, but is forced to accept the reality and settle his contempt. At least Dan Heng was able to benefit from this, though he's not happy to hear he's getting the implant. He'll keep that to himself. Plenty of his companions have undergone the procedure. It's not his place to tell them what they can and can't do with their bodies.]
That's what I fucking said!
[Raidou looks like a train conductor! So his nickname sticks! Why the hell are you thinking about a rabbit, Dan Heng? Nevermind, Bakugo does not want to know. He can deal with Raidou being one wide-set coat short of a Pokemon trainer from another world.]
They better. No one better sleep alone if we're going on abroad missions. [Hell, he's half leaning towards a communal room, but considering they were kidnapped with zero evidence or struggle, it's all for fucking naught if they're dealing with magical shit. But Bakugo's stubborn, so... we'll see.
Hey, sometimes the mods have to be asked the sheepish question so they know people are thinking about this. It means people are invested and care, despite the stress it can put on the mods. People inquire when they want to know because they give a shit. It's only natural.]
That goddamn lizard! I brained him with a fucking barbell to shut him up!
[No, he was NOT happy to have Godzilla roaring at 3AM in the morning! Look, he gets the guy's heart and intent were in the right place but WHAT THE FUCKING HELL!? Bakugo has every intention of coming across Godzilla in a good restful sleep and then detonating an explosion right beside him. "Just letting you know I'm safe" when he wakes up. Yeah. It'll be glorious.
