urusei! a hero's name combines everything a hero wants people to know about them! when people see my name, they'll know everything's gonna be okay, because i'm here, and i'll win!
wait how is anyone going to believe things are going to be okay when there is someone who has murder in their name? you know what murder is? have you even done it? and shut up dumbass. i'm getting to it. it's your fault for having that stupid name. it's distracting.
[It was me, Dio!! All this time!! Or it was Agatha all along.]
i'm not some fucking criminal!
[Don't call him out on his intimidating childishly-cool naming patterns! He likes dramatics and intensity and people need to know he means business! He's no more a murderer than he is a god, but there it is!
But there are consequences: a shit-ton of villains smoking on the road, ready to go to jail.]
DYNAMIGHT!!
[If the rest is too much, at least get that right, dammit!]
you're not giving it to me for nothing; we're trading.
humans die all the time. it's surprising none of my classmates ended up killing each other. i guess there was no need. there was snow often enough.
[ The god part didn't need much calling out on. That's a given! Although it's just about as ridiculous as the rest of it. It's fine. It's not like he is going to call Bakugo by that whole thing anyway, as for Dynamight. That's a toss-up depending on his mood. ]
fine. whatever.
[ He won't be saying it now. ]
give me something more. i don't really know how the trade works so i want something i can see.
there's a difference between dying and killing, idiot.
harsh winters?
[Welcome to the majority of his world. The censors made him come up with Dynamight before they allowed him to tack on the rest of that ridiculous macho crap. Something PG to call him on TV and in the news. He still gets mad when they don't use his full name; they cut those parts out.]
humans die when they are killed. and no one really just dies.
no. that's not something that happens. i don't know what winter feels like i only know about it. everything is controlled. anakt garden is meant to simulate earth. the environment is meant to produce good crying sounds. singing. the snow is just ashes.
[ If he gets most of the name, then he will be doing much better than the news. He can probably get the full name. Can, but he is more than unwilling and purposely will continue to call Bakugo by whatever random parts of his hero name he feels like using that day. ]
isn't the whole thing gross already? why would asking for something be gross.
[ See! The segyein were right to deem Till a genius! ]
what? who dies like that? i guess there is this guy that must be like thirty or close to it. he is popular with segyein. you said to aim higher. i can't be like that guy.
no. that's stupid.
they incinerate the corpses and that makes snow. it would fall all over anakt garden. when i was little i didn't know what it was.
[ Maybe as a treat he'll say the whole thing one day. Maybe. It's a big maybe. ]
i don't know what the typical life expectancy for a pet human is. why would i know that? i think i am the only left from my class but it's different because we were trained to enter a competition. that's why we were placed in anakt garden. once we graduate we go on to alien stage.
it's just how it was. it was better not to know.
[ It was enchanting? Mesmerizing and a little unnerving. Until it wasn't those first two things, and only entirely unsettling. ]
my music already gets sold and i get used to promote a human editing company. at least i'm deciding this myself. i don't get why it is illegal in whatever you said. forget it.
[Ugh, hearing more about this world makes him feel really irritated. Slavery pisses him off, especially cause he grew up in a world that has so little of it. (He's not an idiot, he's sure it exists in places of his world.) But Till talks so casually about pet humans, masters training, and other degrading shit.]
alien stage was where you sand.
[He makes a face at "human editing" company, not sure if he wants to know what context that comment's in. Humans working as editors, or humans being edited, whatever that means. Gross.
As for the question-]
because it makes me feel dirty, dammit! paying someone for sex is degrading!
asking questions doesn't mean i'll get an answer. like you haven't answered my question from earlier. what? are you ashamed you were all weird and you were really trying to do that stuff with me?
not all pet humans go to a music kindergarten. only those being trained to go on alien stage are sent to one of those. and going to a kindergarten doesn't guarantee graduation. or at least that's how anakt garden functions. those that can't produce results are gone. then there are the preliminaries, which reduces the number further until there are only the pet humans that will move on to the live competition.
i guess i don't know what it's like for those that don't produce crying sounds for the segyein. but i have seen some of the products that guy keeps.
alien stage is the name of the competition. usually i got to perform in karaoke bars while that guy was doing some kind of business stuff. he made it all look like a party or something. so alien stage is the place where i could sing for everyone out in the universe. but because it could be my last chance i wanted to say something to someone. i think that's what it was.
[ That is his normal. That is all Till has known growing up. It can all be easily recounted, despite his memory sometimes feeling hazy; at worst, he can sense his own confusion. It's easier to get information out if he starts to disconnect himself from certain events. A vague recollection works best. ]
you feel dirty paying for that and not other shit? i don't even get how it would work anyway. hiyori already said no one is making products here. is it meant to be entertaining for humans too?
[WHAT THE HELL IS THIS WALL OF TEXT?! HE THOUGHT TILL WAS TERSE!!]
I'VE ALREADY ANSWERED YOUR STUPID QUESTION, DAMMIT!!
[And he answered in the way he did BECAUSE he doesn't want a repeat of that shitty influenced attempt the first time they met!]
that sounds fucking sick.
[And not in the good way. Humans forced to train in a specific art, then pitted in an elimination "talent" contest performing for their Masters, loser's fate be damned. Makes his stomach twist in anger and disgust.]
so you used your song to convey a message to someone?
[Did he succeed, or fail? And would he even know? Questions Bakugo's not gonna ask. This topic got really heavy really fast. Till's life here is going to be a major whiplash of culture shock.]
of course you're not gonna get it! we come from two different cultures.
[Similar to how he gets irritated when people look down on him for being "too young" despite Bakugo putting his life on the line to fight for his country's very existence. Some people feel disgusted with someone younger (or a certain younger) than them. Guess it's what you grew up with, the culture raised in.]
if you're talking about the cards and who's watching, the cards are a sort of currency here, and the house is the one watching.
[ APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT HE TYPED ALL THAT!!! HOW UNGRATEFUL! ]
no you didn't because you're all embarrassed and shit
[ Which turns out to be extremely amusing to Till! He wins this! Whatever this is. ]
i didn't make the contest. what do you want me to do?
and i tried to. i think that is what i wanted.
after that first round she was not the same. i don't know if she was listening but maybe i caught her eye for just a second. i guess i understand now. it took me some time. i didn't realize it before. i think sua lost on purpose.
or i should say i am sure of it.
[ He isn't getting it now. Considering that perhaps it is for the best that things didn't pan out as he expected? Maybe he overestimated interest. Then again he has no idea what the fuck he is doing. How does it work anyway? They're not making products. They're just going to be watched? How is any of it remotely interesting? ]
[NO!! HE DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW ALL THAT WEIRD SHIT!!]
I'M NOT EMBARRASSED ABOUT ANYTHING!!
[There's nothing to win, dammit!! He literally told him his answer already! Till's a stupid vending machine refusing to take legal tender and spitting it back out like a crap job!]
you already said you can't rebel.
[So there goes the thing he wants Till to do. As for the rest of that... story, Bakugo's left frowning at the screen. Not even sure why Till's telling him this, but... guess it helps him work through something.]
you won't know until you get back home, huh.
[Technically if Till wants to get a job in a restaurant or shop, he'd be making stuff? Probably shouldn't ask where those places are getting the raw materials, but... it's something to do if he needs the directions.]
have you gotten any cards already?
[Doesn't need the details, Till. yes or no's fine.]
[ The Till vending machine wins! Time to spit that crisp legal note right in Bakugo's face. ]
i don't even know if she is alive. but if it's a maybe. i thought maybe i could do more but i'm so stupid. i can't even do anything with the only thing i'm good at.
[ Maybe. Maybe he just needs to vent. Just a little.
As for products. They're not that kind. However, they can be obtained from a shop. Till was obtained from a shop. Also, too bad! ]
[Bakugo's gonna dropkick this shitty vending machine and leave it busted all over the fucking floor for not doing its damn job! TAKE THE STUPID MONEY YOU ASKED FOR, DAMMIT!!]
haa? why the hell are you suddenly beating yourself up?
[Did he miss something here? Till went from growling at him to self-depreciating doomsday! Ugh, does he have to listen to another sob story? Yuck...
But the invitation to vent is there, albeit rudely conveyed.
And RIP on understanding the product implication. Bakugo's not gonna like hearing about that either.]
aa. you don't have to have full sex to trade cards.
[ The vending machine will now take that money, and in return, it will give nothing back. Life is suffering! ]
i just thought that i could do something
[ Does this help? No. It makes him feel worse. He can't change how irremediably useless he has been. He will, however, not mention it again. That's for his alone time in his room. When he is alone with nothing to do, all he can do is replay all his memories, even if he is beginning to question some of them.
What is said next sparks his interest enough not to end the conversation, so he doesn't have to think about how his approach was rejected. That's a little embarrassing after all. He really must have overestimated interest, and this guy had seemed more off than usual then. It's time to never bring that subject back up after this. ]
[Where's the fucking plug? He's gonna "THOOMP!!" and pull it right out, dammit! See if you take anyone else's money, you shitty box of treats!]
instead of bitching about wanting to do some vague "more", what's one concrete thing you could've done?
[He has no idea what he's trying to help Till triumph over in his mind. But letting him spin himself into a depressive state over some background regret's a fucking pathetic state to be in; Bakugo doesn't wanna be the guy sitting here listening to it! He's no stranger to wishing he could've done more. But "more" isn't an ideal you can accomplish. Just a never-ending goalpost forever out of reach.
An action, however... Yeah, so they're having the discussion now. Along with this OTHER discussion. Which... will also bring back up the topic Till thinks he can avoid.]
[ Unfortunately, this is a vending machine created by aliens. There is no plug. However, it will take more money. Keep your credit card away from it. ]
lost the last round
[ That is how things should have panned out if things had progressed normally. He could never predict that man, and as it turns out, things deviated even further from how Till assumed the round would end. He stopped singing. He gave up. He had no motivation to continue. Yet he got to live because of someone else's actions. He has time to think now, considering how quickly he was being ushered to the final round, it would have been impossible for him to win. He was on a second wind that could easily be knocked out of him. Barely rested, hardly lucid. How could he hope to win against the ruler of the stage? He was a mess. Ivan, he is certain, could keep it together. ]
i know what sex is. hiyori explained that to me. it's mating but it's not meant to produce products.
[He's not getting any more money from him, dammit! Not until this stupid machine gives him the snack he already paid for! Gonna shove a gift card in there next.]
you mean throw the competition?
[As much as it'd normally piss Bakugo off to have someone suggest giving up like that, doing so to save someone in danger is a caveat. If Till's had time to think about it, and this is the re-do result he came up with...
Amazing how a few words make things click. The realization "products" in Till's world mean people is fucking disgusting! And brings to light how Till views himself and other humans. Ugh... great.]
gross.
if two people are together at the same time, and they're going something sexual, only one person has to orgasm and it counts as sex. the cards trade.
