It seems to vary from person to person. I know some people who've gotten cursed, while others got showered with nice gifts! All I know is that it's not dependent on behavior, since I never got cursed.
[And he never follows any of the rules around here...]
By "we" I mean us, of course! We don't have to throw a birthday bash, but I do think we should celebrate. Everyone deserves to eat cake on their birthday. And I still have leftover party poppers! 🎉
So it is possible! They just need some of her hair!
I hope she gets a costume one day. Putting aside "modesty," fighting without any coverage just sounds dangerous. There's that, and designing a costume sounds like one of the fun parts about being a hero. I'm an idol, so I know how wearing a costume can give you strength!
Speaking of which, now that I have my hero name, I guess the next step is designing my hero costume!
[Because birthdays are a stupid "problem" he doesn't want to deal with. He'd rather skip the damn day and carry on like nothing happened. Good to know Hiyori never got cursed at least?]
Save it for someone who wants it. [The poppers.] You've got better things to spend your time on.
They've had access to her hair for years now. If it were possible, they would've done it when she put in orders for her costume.
[In other words, were it possible, Hagakure opted to forgo invisible clothes. But since she didn't, pretty damn sure the costume department wasn't able to replicate Mirio's costume technology with Hagakure's.]
Maybe they'll figure it out in the future. A lot of people in my class share costume designers. They take your ideas and intents into account while working with you.
Like your name, your costume's not something you change all the time, Parrot. So design it with recognition and stability in mind.
Don't tell me you never celebrated your birthday back at home! And setting off party poppers doesn't take *too* much time. If I say it's what I want to do, then it's fine, no?
That all sounds like a pity. But hopefully they will figure it out! Technology continues to advance, after all, to the point where us humans can hardly keep up. First smartphones, then smartwatches, and now we have things like VR worlds where idols can give virtual performances! Really makes your head spin, doesn't it?
Right, right, makes sense! I don't think you need to lecture me too much on costumes. That's something I'm plenty familiar with. Our unit costumes are made with "recognition" and "stability" in mind, too! As well as "image," "appeal," and all sorts of other things.
Though we do have more than just one costume. I'm guessing it's different for you heroes, huh.
Yeah, when I was a kid. And I didn't say you couldn't! Do whatever you want.
[You know, in general. Not trying to throw together some damn party or something. For him.]
Guess it's different when you're not living in a world where most people can wreck even advanced technology.
[Bakugo's never had to fear some computer taking over because he's fully capable of destroying whatever computer criminal shows up! Still, Hiyori's not wrong about technology improving dangerously fast.]
Ha? It sounded like you guys changed your damn costumes with each theme, tour, or performance you went on.
Some heroes retire costumes after a while. All Might had over four ages of costumes.
[Sorry Bakugo. You said he could do what he wants!]
Speaking of not being a kid, your next birthday is your 18th, no? That may still fall below the drinking age, but it *is* a major milestone. Which is all the more reason to celebrate if you ask me!
Perhaps you heroes can make any piece of technology explode, but you couldn't destroy a whole VR world, could you?
True, we do have specific outfits for different performances! But we also have our "main outfits," which reflect our motifs and show off our image colors! And it sounds like you heroes aren't *too* different, if you retire outfits and get new ones.
My image color is green, by the way, as you already know. But if I'm going to be the "Sunavenger," then it'd make more sense to wear sunshine yellow, wouldn't it?
[Growling to himself, he resigns for the attention. Then again, Hiyori doesn't know WHEN his birthday even is! Could be tomorrow, could be two weeks, could be three months! HAH!
BEAT THAT, PARROT!]
Yeah. The only fucking good thing about it. I don't drink, so that's not a problem. Che. Maybe after the actual day, so I can fake this shitty bird out.
[Spiteful.]
What?! You pull the fucking plug and the VR system shuts down. It might be a world, but it's still constrained within a physical computer, running on programs and code. You turn it off.
[Maybe he meant it literally?]
What's your "main outfit" then?
By retiring, I mean changing the entire thing, not just upgrading a few pieces.
No, you don't need to wear a color to match your name if you don't want. Your look and action will be associated with your name no matter what you wear.
Very well! We'll celebrate the day after your birthday! 😊🎉 Just be sure to let me know which date that is.
I don't know much about how VR works! I just know our "VR world for idols" is still around, even though someone from my agency tried to destroy it with a chainsaw!
I know what it means to retire a costume.
[But since Bakugo asked about his main costume, he figues he might as well just send him a visual air. There's a pause in the convo while he transfers a photo from his smartphone to his smartwatch. Since this is taking place after their event thread, Bakugo already knows he has access to his camera roll, and the photo Hiyori attaches is one that Jun took backstage.]
You can't see the bottom half, but here's the top half. As you can see, our theme color is black, but the costumes also show our unique image colors!
[Dammit, this guy's so persistent! Bakugo scowls at his ceiling before rolling his eyes and giving up.]
Fine! I'll let you know after the date!
[Sheesh. Still keeping the true date under wraps for stubborn sake.]
What the hell is a VR world for idols? Some training ground or amusement park?
[And how the hell does Hiyori not realize such a thing has to be operational in the first place?
Anyways, he takes a minute or so to scan over Hiyori's costume. He's not someone who takes a lot of pictures with his phone, so there's little to no desire on Bakugo's part to have his back. Besides, he can call people on the stupid watch, so why have another piece of tech to keep track of? ... Unless the phone's somehow not connected to the peacock's network, and serves as a blindspot.]
You could be a hero with that costume. That shitty copycat blowhard from 1-B dresses in a full tuxedo with coat tails as his hero costume.
[It's not quite as intricate as Hiyori's, but the design wouldn't detract.]
Apparently it's a world where idols can give virtual performances to a sea of fans, all plugged into their VR sets. I haven't tried it myself yet, but there's a lot you can do with that sort of setup. For example, ES can revive old retired idols, using holograms and whatnot. I wouldn't mention that around Jun-kun, though, or he'll start talking incessantly about one retired idol in particular.
[Yes, AI and deepfakes are subjects that come up a fair amount in his canon. There's even an anti-cryptocurrency event!]
And a mask, right? Sounds classy!
[If you're going to wear a tuxedo, you've got to have a mask. (Yes, this is another Sailor Moon reference.)]
But I don't think my hero costume and my idol costume should be the same. I'm not a member of Ryuuseitai, so it seems to me those ought to be separate. Besides, don't you agree that I'd look striking in a cape? I'd have no trouble at all pulling off that look!
[Sheesh! If Hiyori shows up with party hats and balloons, he's gonna slam the door in his face!]
What the hell? People can't be fucked to go out and attend a real concert?
[That sounds lame as hell. Big difference between watching a movie and skipping out on an in person event. Granted, he can see the benefits to the idols, not having to travel as much and avoiding traffic and other shit associated with putting together an at-location event. But... that's half the fun of it!]
He doesn't wear a mask. He wants the world to see his stupid face.
[Monoma has some major ego issues. Unfortunately it's due to his Quirk and the treatment he received for it, though Bakugo has zero sympathy for the bastard. Now, Aoyama's massive ass winged visor is pretty stupid-looking in Bakugo's opinion. Compared to something more akin to Tuxedo Mask of Sailor Moon fame. That's the classy aspect.]
Fine, don't wear one! But I will, since it puts me in a festive spirit. Only I control what goes on my head!
Even though you tried to put pants there last time we went shopping, which was SO rude.
The VR concert was just ES trying something new, I think. I know what you mean though, since I'd rather see my fans in-person, too. Like that hero you mentioned, I prefer when fans can see my face! When I can look into their eyes, and reach their heart with my voice~🎶
You were rambling about how stupid rich you were! Would you rather I told you to shut up instead?
Do they ever record your concerts? [Some artists will only record one event during an entire tour, for better or for worse, to at least have some posterity, but not cheapen the rest of the tickets.]
So? Your first one was better than your second. Deal with it.
Nope! But I tell the hairdresser what to do, so it still counts! ⭐
That's what bothered you? You know I don't have access to my riches here, right?
Recordings are prohibited at most of our lives. But that virtual concert was during the SS qualifiers, and that whole competition is broadcast nationwide anyway. You could also stream it online, which is great for our fans overseas.
Baku-kun thought I looked good with a ponytail, huh? 😘 Or did you think white was my color? I like changing up my look from time to time, so I'll remember your feedback! 😊✨
Damn. Wonder how many times they've been tempted to scalp you.
Urusei! It's not something you did consciously.
[Besides, it was the third strike in a list of annoyances, so Hiyori got the pants to the face.]
Not surprising. But if they're streaming and broadcasting, people are going to record it and put it up on the internet to share. Pretty sure the SS knows that.
I never said that, dammit! [Hiyori looks good in anything not a dress. Sue him.] White's not bad for you.
That would be 0 times, since I don't go to violent hairdressers!
Throwing pants at people over something they did "subconsciously" doesn't make any sense to me. If you must throw pants, you'll need a better alibi!
True!
So you *do* think I look good in white!
[How ironic, given what his old unit outfit looked like.]
I'll keep that in mind, I guess. I don't like looking *too* angelic. But for certain occasions, white suits me just fine~🤍 It's the color of snow, so it's perfect for Christmas sweaters.
We idols have to be particular about our looks! But we do have stylists, and if someone's styling my hair before an appearance, I usually let them do whatever they think is best. I don't want to make things difficult for them.
It was a strange reason!
Good to know, I guess! But I'm someone who always looks lovely no matter what 💕
I don't think I've been called an imp before. Isn't that a demon? That sounds rather odd, coming from someone who criticized my Halloween costume!
But to answer your question, I've worn all sorts of outfits before. So there were times when I looked angelic, too~~ 😇 I can pull off just about any look.
[He just has bad associations due to his previous unit.]
Oh? Are you saying you'd find that fun? Does Baku-kun want to be my stylist for a day? I don't know if I'd trust you not to choose something silly on purpose! But you did point out some nice clothes when we shopped together.
I don't like your language, but I guess I'll take that as praise too!
Grunge? You mean that dark and slouchy look? We do wear a lot of dark colors, but I don't know if I've ever worn that sort of thing.
You know if I try to look it up in the library, it'll just lead me to "that" sort of material, right?
Lots! There are still all sorts of themes we haven't tried. And since we're going to be successful for many years, we should get the chance to try at least some of them. To branch, out spread our wings, and go where no idol has ever gone before~
WHAT PART OF "THEY" SOUNDS LIKE "I", YOU DAMN PARROT?! Jeeze, you can twist anything to suit you!
[In some regards is ridiculously talented and fucking scary!]
Get over it.
[Before he grows exasperated and makes a trade: Bakugo won't cuss for 24 hrs so long as Hiyori cusses at least once every four sentences. You know, or so.]
Tattered jeans, paint splatters, torn sleeves, dyed hair, that kinda crap.
Yeah, and you walk past it. You said the school's one of those "clean" spaces, right?
[Where the suit's more in control than the hotel. Or is he mixing it up with another place?]
Huh. How long does an idol's career last? Heroes can be active even into their 70s.
We haven't worn a lot like that. Eden has more of a high-class vibe. I wouldn't mind trying out that sort of look, though. And it'd probably suit Jun-kun well, also!
The school is, more or less. Though they also offer some less-innocent classes, and some of the uniforms are just plain obscene-looking. I was thinking of the main library, though. The one called Swan Lake!
I'm not sure I've heard of any idol lasting that long... The last of the great Super Idols is Seiya Hidaka, and he's got to be 40 or so by now. He's not the only older idol, but it's common for people to retire in their twenties.
I didn't feel as though our days were numbered, though. We'd only been gaining in popularity.
You can't hang a smartwatch! Or at least not these watches, since they're attached to our bodies!
I know the sort of look you're talking about. I just had a different image of "grunge," that's all.
I'm surprised you don't like that stuff. Clothes like that are considered "tough" and "cool," right? Especially by boys your age. Isn't that the image you want to project?
[Though now that he thinks back to their clothes-shopping trip... Bakugo's taste was somewhat traditional, wasn't it? Geared more towards standard casual wear and sportswear.]
I'm glad you found the right books eventually!
I'd say they're both important, so I guess you aren't wrong. But perhaps I'll still be good-looking well into my 40s! Nobody knows what the future holds 😊
You think I wanna walk around in clothes that look like I got them out of a dumpster?! I take care of my clothes! If they get worn or ragged, I get new ones. Wear trash, you look like trash.
[Bakugo keeps himself well. He has a high standard of quality. While he isn't gonna be wearing a damn tie at a formal event, he's not gonna show up in t-shirt and jeans either. And what button down + dinner jacket and slacks he does wear are going to be neat and clean.]
Makes sense! I wouldn't say every pair of jeans with rips in them looks like it was pulled from a dumpster, though. But it took me a while to get used to that sort of look myself! When I first encountered such clothes, I thought, "It seems strange that they're already pre-ripped! Is this really how the commoners dress?"
But anyway, I'm glad we can both agree on the importance of dressing well. Looking good helps you feel good~😊✨
And no! I will not, because I won't need it! A good diet, good skincare, moderate exercise, and cosmetics can help you look good into old age, or so I hear.
[Does he really have all those things, though...? Mostly, but he could probably stand to cut back on the cake and quiche.]

[Though now that he thinks back to their clothes-shopping trip... Bakugo's taste was somewhat traditional, wasn't it? Geared more towards standard casual wear and sportswear.]
I'm glad you found the right books eventually!
I'd say they're both important, so I guess you aren't wrong. But perhaps I'll still be good-looking well into my 40s! Nobody knows what the future holds 😊

Wasn't a fashion movement in your world?
You think I wanna walk around in clothes that look like I got them out of a dumpster?! I take care of my clothes! If they get worn or ragged, I get new ones. Wear trash, you look like trash.
[Bakugo keeps himself well. He has a high standard of quality. While he isn't gonna be wearing a damn tie at a formal event, he's not gonna show up in t-shirt and jeans either. And what button down + dinner jacket and slacks he does wear are going to be neat and clean.]
Tch. It just takes some searching.
You're not gonna get plastic surgery are you?

It was, but I had a different image of it!
Makes sense! I wouldn't say every pair of jeans with rips in them looks like it was pulled from a dumpster, though. But it took me a while to get used to that sort of look myself! When I first encountered such clothes, I thought, "It seems strange that they're already pre-ripped! Is this really how the commoners dress?"
But anyway, I'm glad we can both agree on the importance of dressing well. Looking good helps you feel good~😊✨
And no! I will not, because I won't need it! A good diet, good skincare, moderate exercise, and cosmetics can help you look good into old age, or so I hear.
[Does he really have all those things, though...? Mostly, but he could probably stand to cut back on the cake and quiche.]
