if you're going to hit someone just him them. and he keeps calling me that. i told him my name.
you know what i'm not going to tell him? where i am.
there are tougher guys out there. or at least they're they're crazy enough to be.
[ Sorry, Bakugo. Till in no way believes him to be the toughest guy in the resort. ]
who the fuck is baku-kun??? wait that's this guy's name. i guess that's better than that other stupid thing he calls himself. no one is ever going to type out that whole thing. but he's right. he does have a bitch side though. it's all sides.
huh? why? i'm not going to change because i already went through puberty so i am done growing. at 16 i would still be changing. isn't that how it works?
I didn't say you weren't tough. Only that you try hard to make yourself seem extra-tough! Like with that long username that Till mentions. The one that has "murder" in it! That's a real "I'm such a tough guy!" name.
As for your cute side, I've definitely seen it! There was that time when you acted nice and gentle, for example. I know you'll say that was because of the cupid arrow, but it was still cute. And then there was that recent time when you wanted a higher star rating! When someone does their best to be praised, it's cute!
Which is something you have in common with Till, by the way. He also does his best, and he likes when I give out gold stars! ⭐
Anyway, you're not wrong about how puberty works. People do stop growing after a certain age, though it's not always 16. But even if your height doesn't change, other things about your appearance change with age. Your face starts to get all wrinkly, or your hair starts turning white.
Not that those are going to happen to me anytime soon. I take excellent care of my skin, and my hair is nice and lustrous!
ha! you think i can't find you? bastard, i'll hunt you down! crazy's not the same thing as tough, idiot.
[He's not the toughest guy in the resort, but he refuses to admit that. Doing so's the same as giving up his drive to be the strongest! At least he gets to smirk when Till questions Hiyori's nickname. Until he disses his hero name again!]
shut up! you're mad cause your brain's too weak to remember it!
[Hiyori's not helping things either. Well, he kind of is, in making sure the two don't keep going at each other's throats as much.]
i don't "try"; i AM tough! dont' agree with cat eyes! you know how important a name is to image, idiot!
SHUT UP! you know it was that shitty baby's fault and nothing else!
he is doing that thing. he complains and does the same. that name is such false advertising. he hasn't killed anything.
but you know maybe you're on to something. this guy didn't yell at me when i left the buffet. and he even brought my breakfast along. still doesn't make him cute. more like don't know. now he thinks he can hunt me down. good luck with that.
crazy people do crazy things. they just do it.
we don't have anything in common. hiyori!!! you're getting a negative gold star.
i know your whole name. i am not typing something like that.
stop. stop. shut up. what do you mean by getting wrinkly and hair turning white hair. what shitty? is that baby like in a small human child? forget gold stars. what are you two talking about?
[You knew he had a tl;dr problem, Bakugo, this isn't new.]
I just have a lot to say! When there are thoughts worth sharing, you share them!
To be fair, if Baku-kun did murder people, that wouldn't be very heroic! And I know names are important! Which is precisely why you chose that long name. To convey how tough you are, right?
I don't know how negative gold stars would work. Basically, when Till figures something out or does something good, I sometimes sent him a gold star as praise! ⭐ <-- Like this one! Simple but effective!
I meant just what I said. People start looking older as the years go by. Their skin starts to sag, their hair gradually loses color, and other such dreary things. You really haven't heard of this?
[ Sorry, Bakugo. He is going to dismiss that recurring threat. Nothing ever comes of it. He can only be wary when there are actual consequences. ]
my ears weren't bleeding because of some shitty singing. and no. they were not bleeding at all.
[ He doesn't randomly start bleeding, is what he would say, but he has enough tact to recall a witness. A loud-mouthed witness! As for Bakugo's heroics being diminished by a bit of murder, he has no opinion aside from the fact that he has a very misleading name. As he stated, that is false advertisement. ]
why are you telling him all that???
no. fuck you. i already know about that!
he is already sharing everything. but it makes him easier to understand. you're saying that like it's wrong to learn from hiyori. and no. i haven't seen that. forget it. it's not important. so don't worry about it.
Hey! Let's NOT kill each other, alright? Surely we're all mature enough not to resort to violence!
I didn't know the gold stars were a secret. You shouldn't feel embarrassed, though. Baku-kun likes getting stars from me, too. Just the other day, he said he wanted a five-star rating!
Till's the one figuring things out! Obviously, there were some gaps in his education back home, but that isn't his fault. That's what friends are for. They help one another fill in those gaps!
And true, I guess all that aging stuff isn't important right now. Humans in their twenties don't usually go grey or get saggy skin, so that's not something you have to worry about. Though I guess your hair is already grey-ish to start with. Sort of like Nagisa-kun's! He's my dearest friend back home, and his hair is a silver color.
[Honestly, that's the best way to handle him when he's mouthing off like this. Especially over text when he can take the dismissal as COWARDLY RETREAT and chalk up his win like the petty arrogant jerk he is.]
whoever was up there sucked! they shouldn't open karaoke stages if their options are crap!
[Focusing on something else now. Regardless of bleeding ears or clear, their "serenading" over the meal was wretched enough to put people (namely him) in a bad mood. And if Till wants a front-row proof, wait until something in the hotel tries attacking him while Bakugo's there. He'll see murder. heroic "murder"]
cause parrot doesn't know how to shut his mouth.
then stop bitching about typing the entire username!
[Poor Hiyori's trying to play peacemaker between them and getting shouted at on one side and gruff averted on the other. What a mediator's nightmare.]
you're the one who gave me a four-star review in the first place! i want a five-star one!
i never said it was wrong to learn from him! what the hell have you been teaching this guy anyways, parrot?
you can't just "forget it, not important" anything you don't fucking like! suck it up and learn shit!
[ That's not disappointment. Instead, he thinks it would be kind of ironic if he dies in a place like this and off the stage. What would that guy's face look like after investing in him? Well, whatever, what are his chances anyway? ]
i guess it was meant to be for fun. for them. or some shit.
i am not embarrassed!!!
a five-star what? what are you rating. is it that thing with the alcohol? it's stupid. just take your shitty four-star review and stop bitching.
hiyori agreed with me that it's not important, that's all that matters. see i don't have to worry about it.
[ Aging is the least important thing that Till is opting to ignore and avoid. Instead, Bakugo's last message hits hard. And he quickly buries that line with the next text he sends. ]
[He wasn't there for the epically bad karaoke, but:]
One, I'm not a parrot! And two, I actually do know how to shut my mouth! I have it shut right now, for example.
Baku-kun's being overly harsh as always. I don't like bad singing, but everyone needs to start somewhere. Perhaps that singer just needed a year's worth of voice lessons! Or 10 years' worth!
I was rating his skills as a host! Baku-kun gave me a full tour of his suite and poured cocoa for me, so that earned him some points. But he also likes to shove marshmallows in my mouth, which subtracts a star's worth of points!
I do have to admit that Baku-kun has a point about your education, though. It *is* important to learn things, even if they don't seem terribly relevant right now. You shouldn't show signs of aging for a while, but it's good to know about the life cycle. Even animals change as they grow up.
[Next time he sees Till, he slapping fucking duct tape all over his mouth! No one should be dying in this shitty place! It's pathetic! Brought back before your body's cold, and punished by the resort for inconveniencing it. Even people who get murdered are penalized far harsher than those who killed them.]
they can sing in the damn shower then, instead of assaulting people's ears!
phhht, i bet your face's pink as fuck right now, gold-star-san.
i was an amazing host, dammit! food, drink, tour, information! you got the whole damn treatment! don't give me a reason to stuff your stupid mouth and i won't! you know i deserved a five-star review!
[Out respect for Hiyori's feelings, he won't hint what the guy had talked about to earn him a marshmallow stuffing. Best leave the topic alone and not bother Till with it.]
doesn't count when you're mouthing off in text.
[HA! Hiyori agrees with him. He's wearing such a smug face right now.]
a lot of people learn new shit in this place. you wanna waste away here waiting for something stupid to happen?
you're not in your world anymore, cat eyes. you don't have to keep living like you are.
[Till can take that comment as deep or shallow as he wants..]
[ A one word retort. A willingness to let go of that particular argument, all the while, Till is content to continue. He understands the game. The first to give in is the first to lose. There is a feeling that Bakugo thinks he has won all past arguments; this will be different. Sorry, Hiyori. ]
hiyori is typing.
there was no fixing that. they may as well have started over if they wanted to sing that bad.
[ He won't explain the whole meaning behind his words because it's not necessary. ]
shut up. it's normal. stop with the weird names.
wait. what's special about that room that you need a tour?
something stupid always happens. like being on this boat.
but i am saying that i don't need to know about showing signs of aging. i told you two there is no one like that.
And he's also right about another thing! Wanting to be praised by me is perfectly normal! And that's exactly why you both crave it~⭐️
I hadn't seen Baku-kun's new Ace suite, which is why he offered me a tour. Once you're a so-called "face card," you get a huge room to yourself. That goes for Aces, Jacks, Queens and Kings here. I know a former Queen and current King who has an entire beach villa in her suite.
When you say there's "no one like that," do you mean there aren't any elderly humans where you come from? That sounds rather disturbing if it's true.
[But it wouldn't be the only disturbing thing he's heard about Till's world. Far from it.]
[Three word retort, bitch! Is it an argument so much as shouting insults at each other now? Likely not. Bakugo wants the last word, so Till's gonna have to be the bigger man here. Petty brat. Go ahead and give up, Till! He'll take that win! Hiyori gets to put his face in his hands at their stupidity.]
they could've shut the fuck up and spared the audience.
[Instead they carried on like it was their personal show. Singers like Hiyori and Till should be appalled they were even allowed up there!]
don't tell me what to do, idiot! you wanna be praised by parrot, go for it. I DON'T CRAVE THAT CRAP!! SHOVE IT!!
[Dammit, Hiyori! Always so confident in himself.]
tch. i changed ranks. he was looking at my new room.
[Hiyori gets to cover the "face card" introduction to Till, so he's not adding anything there. Not gonna argue the "something stupid always happens" comment either. Till's 100% right.]
the ace and jack suites usually have six to ten rooms. the king and queen suites have even more. almost everything's customizable.
che. you're gonna piss yourself the first time you see an old person here.
[But fine! Be ignorant. He'll let Till answer about his own world. It makes sense why there are no old people in the guy's world, with humans being treated as pets, talents, and art pieces. With all the darker implications.]
[ Is there any point in replying? No. He doesn't even realize that at this point, it's a competition and that the last man standing wins. It just feels right to respond immediately to the insults, and as long as Bakugo keeps going, so will Till (until something distracts him). ]
the audience was also the problem. it really was just for fun.
i don't crave it either. i don't need praise or anything. but i guess if its hiyori doing it then its okay.
[ The resort just feels needlessly complicated. He can complain about it, but it doesn't change anything. There is one thing he has to ask. ]
who needs that many rooms? why even. but i did tell baku-kun my current room is smaller than the dorminatory i had back at anakt garden. it just has a lot more stuff. i guess for people that want to accumulate stuff they would want a lot of rooms.
hopefully in your new suite.
i don't even know what you mean by elderly. how old is that? like fifty? but i've seen images of past alien stage winners. from the last two seasons. and even before like that mri from the 30th season. she was in a magazine advertisement. but she's not like you say.
[On the one hand, he doesn't like rude language. On the other hand...
"i don't need praise or anything. but i guess if its hiyori doing it then its okay."
^ That is cute! Overwhelmingly cute! Incredibly cute!!]
I'll give you all the praise you want, but first let's resolve to do some things differently!
1. Let's all agree to cool it with the rude words and bad language! For example, the "b" word! 2. Let's also try to be more honest about our feelings! Baku-kun could learn a thing or two from Till on that front.
Anyway, I'm sorry your dormitory is small. Baku-kun started out a low rank and then rose higher, so you could always follow in his footsteps.
I think of "elderly" as being closer to 80 than 50. Some people even live to be over 100! I suppose that isn't too terribly common, though.
And idols do tend to be young. Usually they retire when they're ready to get married and have kids, or pursue some other career path, so generally by age 30. But there are always exceptions, like Seiya Hidaka! He's still an idol even though he has a son around my age.
[What the hell is this guy's problem?! Drop it! Admit he won the first part and screw off! They can keep shouting at each other while trying to mediate with Hiyori as the only adult in the damn digital room.]
you bitched about it too, ya know.
[Stop making it out as if he was the only one who thought it sucked.]
tch. saps.
[Till's either sucking up to the idol or genuinely likes his praise. Well, Hiyori gives him gold stars, so whatever. If he likes someone here, Till's improved from his starting snail mode. And the idol's always fond of doting on people he likes. Maybe he can coax the other guy out more than Bakugo's gruff manner.]
1. bitch, bastard, butthole 2. i'm always honest with my feelings, dammit!
[Like right now! Unfortunately, he only expresses a set few...]
visit your companions' rooms and determine which level you're comfortable with. then aim for it. only rank 2 through 4 are in the basement.
[Leaving Hiyori to do the elderly topic teaching. Till not knowing is pretty dark shit...]
some of the resort staff members and guests are older. oy parrot, take him to the shopping district for a few hours; he'll see a few before you're done.
[ How is that going to help any of this? Wait. Now that he thinks about it, didn't they get sidetracked entirely from the original point of the conversation? And! What was wrong with the "b" word? Bitch? He is going to have to go out there and pick up more words. He knows exactly who to go to for that lesson. Well, that won't help avoid rude words and bad language, but what was so wrong with it? It's fine. He'll try. For Hiyori. ]
we're typing. we're all typing! no one is talking. but sure. whatever. but i'll die after you.
i didn't say a bad word. and i honestly expressed he should do the dying first.
i also left because it was bad. you would have sat through the whole thing.
[ He wasn't complaining about his dormitories size. It was fine for his needs. Rather than clear up misunderstandings, he will not mention that again. It's not important. ]
i have seen another room. the one i have is fine. i guess.
last season's winner is still active. he is 30. it doesn't work the same way. who knows if that guy will ever retire. i don't think he will. maybe once he dies. you baku-kun. you were nagging at me about not caring if i was the highest ranked performer. that guy is number one. and i don't want to see a bunch of thirty somethings walking around. that's creepy.
This is starting to feel like I'm dealing with two kindergarteners!
Rattling off rude words is just immature, you know. And that is NOT the kind of honesty I was hoping for.
I really think you two should consider making up. Let bygones be bygones, put the past to bed!
After all, if you keep fighting, the resort might use that against you. You might get paired as roommates on the next cruise, for example. That's what happened to me and
[... whoops. Ignore that.]
Anyway, best not to give them any more ammo!
People in their 30s aren't old. I know they seem that way to people like us, who are young, beautiful, and full of vigor, but you've probably already seen people in that range walking around here. And some older folks, too. Though I doubt they bring many elderly-looking people here, since those types would have trouble finding partners. They seem to prefer youthful immortals.
You know, this all reminds me of a saying where I come from. "I want to grow old with you" - that's something somebody would say to a romantic partner! It means they want to spend the rest of their lives together. That's sweet, don't you think? It goes to show you growing old isn't *too* bad.
[He's trying to encourage Till to live. Even though he can't blame Till for thinking he wouldn't live long, given the environment he came from.]
[ooc: sorry for the delay! had a family outing for the week. thanks for your patience!]
[IT'S NOT GONNA HELP THIS AT ALL, DAMMIT!! Ugh, this bastard's always pissing him off!]
stop stating the obvious! DIE FIRST!! i don't have shit to make up for!
baaaka! grow up, parrot, there's nothing immature about a bad word.
[One of the few times Bakugo's not demanding to be 1st place. Even if he's both amused and annoyed at Hiyori for always griping about language. He must hear bad language at least four times a day unless he stays in his room! Bakugo compromised and watches his volume around Hiyori, not his words.
As for the hotel forcing Bakugo and Till together...]
che, sucks for him. i know how to throw someone out the window.
and i would've left if they did an encore, dammit!
[He left for another reason. A certain blue-haired reason... Stop running from conversation topics, Till! He snorts at his comment. As long as Till knows his options, fine.]
do what you want.
[Some people like the lower ranks, some the higher, some stay in the middle. Pros and cons to both. Bakugo was fine as a rank 3 for almost an entire year, only ranking up when he had the means to, and without playing the house's stupid game. Mostly... Still did it his way!]
shut up! i wasn't nagging you! you made it sound like the losers got offed!
[He was concerned commenting! That's all! On the other hand, Till calling people watching creepy is a point in his favor in Bakugo's book. It is creepy. Even if it'd be hilarious to make him look at old people for a few minutes. Hiyori makes a fair point about the hotel preferring people in their youth and prime rather than older captives. For obvious reasons.]
you can find some hags and geezers on the staff and running stores. the guests probably cap out in their 40s physically.
saying that kinda crap makes you sound like a relic from old movies, parrot. i'm still gonna be kicking ass as a hero when i'm 90!
[ To fair, Till doesn't think he is cute, and it is likely Bakugo shares that sentiment. So there is that. If only they were actual kindergarteners. Well, considering what Anakt Garden is. Too bad Till graduated. ]
okay. maybe i was just being mean not honest but i think i should be with him. see. and anyway. he doesn't care.
just like with those words. nothing happens if you say them a lot.
[ He means here. ]
don't be a dumbass. the windows aren't real. they're virtual displays it's like the sky in anakt garden
no. you left because you started following. and i am doing what i want. that's why hiyori is here talking to us.
[ Give him a second. What? Well, why not say it. ]
that's how it works
[ As for people watching being creepy. Well, that's something! And while Till said observing old geezers is creepy, he was also the kind of guy who would watch the object of his affection. However, that's typical behavior. He isn't the only individual to engage in the sport of hiding behind one of Anakt Garden's artificial trees to observe others. ]
i don't have a romantic anything and that stuff isn't something i'm doing. i told you about that guy. i've watched his stuff. he hasn't changed. i don't think so anyway. who cares. watching old people is creepy. but that guy is way creepier than doing something like that.
whatever.
hiyori! remember you said this place could maybe give me a guitar?
( ooc: you're fine. no worries! hope it was fun! )
I don't want to be told to grow up by Baku-kun of all people. A boy who never left his "Look how tough I am! Fear my awesome powers!" phase.
And no throwing Till overboard. Then he might meet one of those creepy sharks!
[Does "I'm doing what I want. That's why Hiyori is here talking to us" mean that Till wants to talk to him? How cute! ... even if some of his behaviors do strongly resemble a kindergartener's.
And even if the things he says are worrying. Does Bakugo even know about the Alien Stage, or what happens to the losers...? He's just going to skip over that bit himself.]
I guess that's one thing you two could bond over. "Not liking romantic stuff!"
And yes, I do remember! But why do you bring that up? Was your guitar already returned to you?
[He'll be the judge of who he thinks is cute or not, dammit! And there's a difference between physical cute and personality cute. So shove it. Not like Bakugo's gonna offer Till a compliment to his face.]
shut up! take what you dish and don't bitch about it! YOU WANNA GO, PARROT?! you're gonna love how tough and strong i am when we crack this fucking bird open!
[Not like Bakugo's one to talk about give and take, more than willing to insult someone, then getting mad when they insult him back. That's how you fight, dammit! Throw a punch, block a punch! He has to keep his tough and strength up so he's ready to fight at a moment's notice!]
baaaka! there's a shit ton of windows around this place! only the ones against the "walls" are fake.
[Though that's not 100% the case, since most windows in suites can't be broken. Tempting as it is to pitch Till overboard into booby shark territory, he knows the guy can't swim.]
i left cause the singing sucked! and i'm not gonna throw him overboard, idiot.
[True, he was following Till, but that's not for Hiyori to know!]
thought so.
[Is it surprising he was concerned about someone who comes from a literal execution round style entertainment field based off fucking slavery?! Bakugo's not going to coddle of baby Till over anything, but he isn't oblivious to the sort of world the guy came from. And he takes it into account when interacting with him.]
che! i'm not bonding with this guy!
[Already has, to their abrasive degree.]
it's not gonna "give" you a guitar, cat eyes. it'll make you earn it.
what bird? are you talking about the fucking resort?
there aren't any windows that matter here.
and hiyori you don't meet those things. they eat humans. or anything thrown overboard. and why not? you don't like me. it makes perfect sense to throw me overboard.
[ He would throw someone overboard. That someone is not taking part in this conversation. ]
you're saying that like i'm agreeing with that suggestion.
it wasn't my guitar and it's dead. i got something better. because it did give me something. but i guess this place doesn't like baku-kun if it never gives him anything.
hold on.
[ Give him a second and! He sends an image of his recorder. His most valuable possession! ]

[ Sorry, Bakugo. Till in no way believes him to be the toughest guy in the resort. ]
who the fuck is baku-kun??? wait that's this guy's name. i guess that's better than that other stupid thing he calls himself. no one is ever going to type out that whole thing. but he's right. he does have a bitch side though. it's all sides.
huh? why? i'm not going to change because i already went through puberty so i am done growing. at 16 i would still be changing. isn't that how it works?

crazy people do crazy things. they just do it.
we don't have anything in common. hiyori!!! you're getting a negative gold star.

che. he's gonna start printing those stars out and sticking them on your cheeks.
[Look, he's gonna take that star bit and rib him with it!]
what the hell? hit "g" and pick from the dropdown, you dumbass!
[Yeah well Bakugo didn't invite Hiyori into this mess, dammit!]
You don't have to share everything!
Of course that's why I chose it! Villains hear my name and shit themselves in fear!
What the hell's he figuring out or doing good? Are you teaching him?
[He knows Till comes from a very different world with stunted social interactions, but learning all that from Hiyori is downright questionable!
Enjoy explaining human aging to Till, Hiyori. Bakugo's gonna sit here and watch this.]

[ He doesn't randomly start bleeding, is what he would say, but he has enough tact to recall a witness. A loud-mouthed witness!

why are you telling him all that???
no. fuck you. i already know about that!
he is already sharing everything. but it makes him easier to understand. you're saying that like it's wrong to learn from hiyori. and no. i haven't seen that. forget it. it's not important. so don't worry about it.

Date: 7/12/25 16:50 (UTC)I didn't know the gold stars were a secret. You shouldn't feel embarrassed, though. Baku-kun likes getting stars from me, too. Just the other day, he said he wanted a five-star rating!
Till's the one figuring things out! Obviously, there were some gaps in his education back home, but that isn't his fault. That's what friends are for. They help one another fill in those gaps!
And true, I guess all that aging stuff isn't important right now. Humans in their twenties don't usually go grey or get saggy skin, so that's not something you have to worry about. Though I guess your hair is already grey-ish to start with. Sort of like Nagisa-kun's! He's my dearest friend back home, and his hair is a silver color.

Date: 7/12/25 21:00 (UTC)whoever was up there sucked! they shouldn't open karaoke stages if their options are crap!
[Focusing on something else now. Regardless of bleeding ears or clear, their "serenading" over the meal was wretched enough to put people (namely him) in a bad mood. And if Till wants a front-row proof, wait until something in the hotel tries attacking him while Bakugo's there. He'll see murder.
heroic "murder"]cause parrot doesn't know how to shut his mouth.
then stop bitching about typing the entire username!
[Poor Hiyori's trying to play peacemaker between them and getting shouted at on one side and gruff averted on the other. What a mediator's nightmare.]
you're the one who gave me a four-star review in the first place! i want a five-star one!
i never said it was wrong to learn from him! what the hell have you been teaching this guy anyways, parrot?
you can't just "forget it, not important" anything you don't fucking like! suck it up and learn shit!
no subject
Date: 7/13/25 09:16 (UTC)[ That's not disappointment. Instead, he thinks it would be kind of ironic if he dies in a place like this and off the stage. What would that guy's face look like after investing in him? Well, whatever, what are his chances anyway? ]
i guess it was meant to be for fun. for them. or some shit.
i am not embarrassed!!!
a five-star what? what are you rating. is it that thing with the alcohol? it's stupid. just take your shitty four-star review and stop bitching.
hiyori agreed with me that it's not important, that's all that matters. see i don't have to worry about it.
[ Aging is the least important thing that Till is opting to ignore and avoid. Instead, Bakugo's last message hits hard. And he quickly buries that line with the next text he sends. ]
no subject
Date: 7/13/25 16:17 (UTC)One, I'm not a parrot! And two, I actually do know how to shut my mouth! I have it shut right now, for example.
Baku-kun's being overly harsh as always. I don't like bad singing, but everyone needs to start somewhere. Perhaps that singer just needed a year's worth of voice lessons! Or 10 years' worth!
I was rating his skills as a host! Baku-kun gave me a full tour of his suite and poured cocoa for me, so that earned him some points. But he also likes to shove marshmallows in my mouth, which subtracts a star's worth of points!
I do have to admit that Baku-kun has a point about your education, though. It *is* important to learn things, even if they don't seem terribly relevant right now. You shouldn't show signs of aging for a while, but it's good to know about the life cycle. Even animals change as they grow up.
no subject
Date: 7/13/25 17:21 (UTC)[Next time he sees Till, he slapping fucking duct tape all over his mouth! No one should be dying in this shitty place! It's pathetic! Brought back before your body's cold, and punished by the resort for inconveniencing it. Even people who get murdered are penalized far harsher than those who killed them.]
they can sing in the damn shower then, instead of assaulting people's ears!
phhht, i bet your face's pink as fuck right now, gold-star-san.
i was an amazing host, dammit! food, drink, tour, information! you got the whole damn treatment! don't give me a reason to stuff your stupid mouth and i won't! you know i deserved a five-star review!
[Out respect for Hiyori's feelings, he won't hint what the guy had talked about to earn him a marshmallow stuffing. Best leave the topic alone and not bother Till with it.]
doesn't count when you're mouthing off in text.
[HA! Hiyori agrees with him. He's wearing such a smug face right now.]
a lot of people learn new shit in this place. you wanna waste away here waiting for something stupid to happen?
you're not in your world anymore, cat eyes. you don't have to keep living like you are.
[Till can take that comment as deep or shallow as he wants..]
no subject
Date: 7/16/25 07:07 (UTC)[ A one word retort. A willingness to let go of that particular argument, all the while, Till is content to continue. He understands the game. The first to give in is the first to lose. There is a feeling that Bakugo thinks he has won all past arguments; this will be different. Sorry, Hiyori. ]
hiyori is typing.
there was no fixing that. they may as well have started over if they wanted to sing that bad.
[ He won't explain the whole meaning behind his words because it's not necessary. ]
shut up. it's normal. stop with the weird names.
wait. what's special about that room that you need a tour?
something stupid always happens. like being on this boat.
but i am saying that i don't need to know about showing signs of aging. i told you two there is no one like that.
no subject
Date: 7/17/25 15:43 (UTC)And he's also right about another thing! Wanting to be praised by me is perfectly normal! And that's exactly why you both crave it~⭐️
I hadn't seen Baku-kun's new Ace suite, which is why he offered me a tour. Once you're a so-called "face card," you get a huge room to yourself. That goes for Aces, Jacks, Queens and Kings here. I know a former Queen and current King who has an entire beach villa in her suite.
When you say there's "no one like that," do you mean there aren't any elderly humans where you come from? That sounds rather disturbing if it's true.
[But it wouldn't be the only disturbing thing he's heard about Till's world. Far from it.]
no subject
Date: 7/17/25 19:29 (UTC)[Three word retort, bitch! Is it an argument so much as shouting insults at each other now? Likely not. Bakugo wants the last word, so Till's gonna have to be the bigger man here. Petty brat. Go ahead and give up, Till! He'll take that win! Hiyori gets to put his face in his hands at their stupidity.]
they could've shut the fuck up and spared the audience.
[Instead they carried on like it was their personal show. Singers like Hiyori and Till should be appalled they were even allowed up there!]
don't tell me what to do, idiot!
you wanna be praised by parrot, go for it.
I DON'T CRAVE THAT CRAP!! SHOVE IT!!
[Dammit, Hiyori! Always so confident in himself.]
tch. i changed ranks. he was looking at my new room.
[Hiyori gets to cover the "face card" introduction to Till, so he's not adding anything there. Not gonna argue the "something stupid always happens" comment either. Till's 100% right.]
the ace and jack suites usually have six to ten rooms. the king and queen suites have even more. almost everything's customizable.
che. you're gonna piss yourself the first time you see an old person here.
[But fine! Be ignorant. He'll let Till answer about his own world. It makes sense why there are no old people in the guy's world, with humans being treated as pets, talents, and art pieces. With all the darker implications.]
no subject
Date: 7/19/25 04:11 (UTC)[ Is there any point in replying? No. He doesn't even realize that at this point, it's a competition and that the last man standing wins. It just feels right to respond immediately to the insults, and as long as Bakugo keeps going, so will Till (until something distracts him). ]
the audience was also the problem. it really was just for fun.
i don't crave it either. i don't need praise or anything.
but i guess if its hiyori doing it then its okay.
[ The resort just feels needlessly complicated. He can complain about it, but it doesn't change anything. There is one thing he has to ask. ]
who needs that many rooms? why even. but i did tell baku-kun my current room is smaller than the dorminatory i had back at anakt garden. it just has a lot more stuff. i guess for people that want to accumulate stuff they would want a lot of rooms.
hopefully in your new suite.
i don't even know what you mean by elderly. how old is that? like fifty? but i've seen images of past alien stage winners. from the last two seasons. and even before like that mri from the 30th season. she was in a magazine advertisement. but she's not like you say.
no subject
Date: 7/19/25 23:28 (UTC)"i don't need praise or anything.
but i guess if its hiyori doing it then its okay."
^ That is cute! Overwhelmingly cute! Incredibly cute!!]
I'll give you all the praise you want, but first let's resolve to do some things differently!
1. Let's all agree to cool it with the rude words and bad language! For example, the "b" word!
2. Let's also try to be more honest about our feelings! Baku-kun could learn a thing or two from Till on that front.
Anyway, I'm sorry your dormitory is small. Baku-kun started out a low rank and then rose higher, so you could always follow in his footsteps.
I think of "elderly" as being closer to 80 than 50. Some people even live to be over 100! I suppose that isn't too terribly common, though.
And idols do tend to be young. Usually they retire when they're ready to get married and have kids, or pursue some other career path, so generally by age 30. But there are always exceptions, like Seiya Hidaka! He's still an idol even though he has a son around my age.
no subject
Date: 7/20/25 00:33 (UTC)[What the hell is this guy's problem?! Drop it! Admit he won the first part and screw off! They can keep shouting at each other while trying to mediate with Hiyori as the only adult in the damn digital room.]
you bitched about it too, ya know.
[Stop making it out as if he was the only one who thought it sucked.]
tch. saps.
[Till's either sucking up to the idol or genuinely likes his praise. Well, Hiyori gives him gold stars, so whatever. If he likes someone here, Till's improved from his starting snail mode. And the idol's always fond of doting on people he likes. Maybe he can coax the other guy out more than Bakugo's gruff manner.]
1. bitch, bastard, butthole
2. i'm always honest with my feelings, dammit!
[Like right now! Unfortunately, he only expresses a set few...]
visit your companions' rooms and determine which level you're comfortable with. then aim for it. only rank 2 through 4 are in the basement.
[Leaving Hiyori to do the elderly topic teaching. Till not knowing is pretty dark shit...]
some of the resort staff members and guests are older. oy parrot, take him to the shopping district for a few hours; he'll see a few before you're done.
no subject
Date: 7/22/25 17:27 (UTC)we're typing.
we're all typing!
no one is talking.
but sure. whatever. but i'll die after you.
i didn't say a bad word. and i honestly expressed he should do the dying first.
i also left because it was bad. you would have sat through the whole thing.
[ He wasn't complaining about his dormitories size. It was fine for his needs. Rather than clear up misunderstandings, he will not mention that again. It's not important. ]
i have seen another room. the one i have is fine. i guess.
last season's winner is still active. he is 30. it doesn't work the same way. who knows if that guy will ever retire. i don't think he will. maybe once he dies. you baku-kun. you were nagging at me about not caring if i was the highest ranked performer. that guy is number one. and i don't want to see a bunch of thirty somethings walking around. that's creepy.
no subject
Date: 7/24/25 16:12 (UTC)This is starting to feel like I'm dealing with two kindergarteners!
Rattling off rude words is just immature, you know. And that is NOT the kind of honesty I was hoping for.
I really think you two should consider making up. Let bygones be bygones, put the past to bed!
After all, if you keep fighting, the resort might use that against you. You might get paired as roommates on the next cruise, for example. That's what happened to me and
[... whoops. Ignore that.]
Anyway, best not to give them any more ammo!
People in their 30s aren't old. I know they seem that way to people like us, who are young, beautiful, and full of vigor, but you've probably already seen people in that range walking around here. And some older folks, too. Though I doubt they bring many elderly-looking people here, since those types would have trouble finding partners. They seem to prefer youthful immortals.
You know, this all reminds me of a saying where I come from. "I want to grow old with you" - that's something somebody would say to a romantic partner! It means they want to spend the rest of their lives together. That's sweet, don't you think? It goes to show you growing old isn't *too* bad.
[He's trying to encourage Till to live. Even though he can't blame Till for thinking he wouldn't live long, given the environment he came from.]
no subject
Date: 8/4/25 22:34 (UTC)[IT'S NOT GONNA HELP THIS AT ALL, DAMMIT!! Ugh, this bastard's always pissing him off!]
stop stating the obvious!
DIE FIRST!! i don't have shit to make up for!
baaaka! grow up, parrot,
there's nothing immature about a bad word.
[One of the few times Bakugo's not demanding to be 1st place. Even if he's both amused and annoyed at Hiyori for always griping about language. He must hear bad language at least four times a day unless he stays in his room! Bakugo compromised and watches his volume around Hiyori, not his words.
As for the hotel forcing Bakugo and Till together...]
che, sucks for him. i know how to throw someone out the window.
and i would've left if they did an encore, dammit!
[He left for another reason. A certain blue-haired reason... Stop running from conversation topics, Till! He snorts at his comment. As long as Till knows his options, fine.]
do what you want.
[Some people like the lower ranks, some the higher, some stay in the middle. Pros and cons to both. Bakugo was fine as a rank 3 for almost an entire year, only ranking up when he had the means to, and without playing the house's stupid game. Mostly... Still did it his way!]
shut up! i wasn't nagging you! you made it sound like the losers got offed!
[He was
concernedcommenting! That's all! On the other hand, Till calling people watching creepy is a point in his favor in Bakugo's book. It is creepy. Even if it'd be hilarious to make him look at old people for a few minutes. Hiyori makes a fair point about the hotel preferring people in their youth and prime rather than older captives. For obvious reasons.]you can find some hags and geezers on the staff and running stores. the guests probably cap out in their 40s physically.
saying that kinda crap makes you sound like a relic from old movies, parrot. i'm still gonna be kicking ass as a hero when i'm 90!
no subject
Date: 8/12/25 11:17 (UTC)okay. maybe i was just being mean not honest
but i think i should be with him. see. and anyway. he doesn't care.
just like with those words. nothing happens if you say them a lot.
[ He means here. ]
don't be a dumbass.
the windows aren't real. they're virtual displays
it's like the sky in anakt garden
no. you left because you started following.
and i am doing what i want. that's why hiyori is here talking to us.
[ Give him a second. What? Well, why not say it. ]
that's how it works
[ As for people watching being creepy. Well, that's something! And while Till said observing old geezers is creepy, he was also the kind of guy who would watch the object of his affection. However, that's typical behavior. He isn't the only individual to engage in the sport of hiding behind one of Anakt Garden's artificial trees to observe others. ]
i don't have a romantic anything and that stuff isn't something i'm doing. i told you about that guy. i've watched his stuff. he hasn't changed. i don't think so anyway. who cares. watching old people is creepy. but that guy is way creepier than doing something like that.
whatever.
hiyori! remember you said this place could maybe give me a guitar?
( ooc: you're fine. no worries! hope it was fun! )
no subject
Date: 8/14/25 17:21 (UTC)And no throwing Till overboard. Then he might meet one of those creepy sharks!
[Does "I'm doing what I want. That's why Hiyori is here talking to us" mean that Till wants to talk to him? How cute! ... even if some of his behaviors do strongly resemble a kindergartener's.
And even if the things he says are worrying. Does Bakugo even know about the Alien Stage, or what happens to the losers...? He's just going to skip over that bit himself.]
I guess that's one thing you two could bond over. "Not liking romantic stuff!"
And yes, I do remember! But why do you bring that up? Was your guitar already returned to you?
[If so, that was fast...!]
no subject
Date: 8/15/25 17:02 (UTC)shut up! take what you dish and don't bitch about it!
YOU WANNA GO, PARROT?! you're gonna love how tough and strong i am when we crack this fucking bird open!
[Not like Bakugo's one to talk about give and take, more than willing to insult someone, then getting mad when they insult him back. That's how you fight, dammit! Throw a punch, block a punch! He has to keep his tough and strength up so he's ready to fight at a moment's notice!]
baaaka! there's a shit ton of windows around this place!
only the ones against the "walls" are fake.
[Though that's not 100% the case, since most windows in suites can't be broken. Tempting as it is to pitch Till overboard into booby shark territory, he knows the guy can't swim.]
i left cause the singing sucked!
and i'm not gonna throw him overboard, idiot.
[True, he was following Till, but that's not for Hiyori to know!]
thought so.
[Is it surprising he was concerned about someone who comes from a literal execution round style entertainment field based off fucking slavery?! Bakugo's not going to coddle of baby Till over anything, but he isn't oblivious to the sort of world the guy came from. And he takes it into account when interacting with him.]
che! i'm not bonding with this guy!
[Already has, to their abrasive degree.]
it's not gonna "give" you a guitar, cat eyes. it'll make you earn it.
no subject
Date: 8/17/25 06:37 (UTC)there aren't any windows that matter here.
and hiyori you don't meet those things. they eat humans. or anything thrown overboard.
and why not? you don't like me. it makes perfect sense to throw me overboard.
[ He would throw someone overboard. That someone is not taking part in this conversation. ]
you're saying that like i'm agreeing with that suggestion.
it wasn't my guitar and it's dead. i got something better. because it did give me something. but i guess this place doesn't like baku-kun if it never gives him anything.
hold on.
[ Give him a second and! He sends an image of his recorder. His most valuable possession! ]
