[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! ]
"That bird" is how he talks about the resort, yes! And he's right: if he smashes it, I will love it! 💕
Baku-kun's a hero and not a villain, and those don't typically throw people to the sharks, so let's just take him at his word and assume he won't do that!
[You're the one who suggested he would, Hiyori...
Being concerned about Till is something he and Bakugo have in common. They just express that concern in very different ways.]
Something even better? Very well, let's see it!
[He's officially curious!
Fortunately for him and his curiosity, the picture comes in soon. And it shows... a recorder. The kind of instrument children use to play adorably off-tune songs. Not what Hiyori expected, but he's not about to knock it when Till seems so happy about it.]
A recorder, huh? That sure is nostalgic. Is that something from home? A childhood keepsake, perhaps?
[Thanks for backing him up on this, Hiyori! Considering they've talked at length about what the resort is or does together. One of the reasons Bakugo likes hanging out with Hiyori in spite of their clashing traits.]
of course i am! what other bird would i be talking about?!
[Did he never get to talk with anyone about the resort and what it is?]
hmph.
[Bakugo won't argue. The only windows which really matter in this place aren't available.]
urusei! i don't wanna deal parrot crying and bitching at me if i chucked you!
[Right, definitely gonna yeet the blame on Hiyori rather than state the obvious. Would he throw Till overboard? Probably, if they were alone and Till was really pissing him off. Wouldn't leave him there to drown. And Till can't swim, so he'd be diving in right after him. Anyways.]
the resort gave you something dead? [That's fucking hilarious! And creepy as fuck simultaneously.] i don't want shit from this place! if it gives me something, i'm gonna use it for my own gains and fuck the resort over!
[ ... oy. ]
you play the recorder?
[He has the same reaction as Hiyori. A lot of kids in music class played recorders when they were growing up. Most of them made a real shit din with it. Till sounds so proud of the instrument though; it's the first time Bakugo's ever witnessed him show any real emotion and pride over something without being snarky.]
i don't know if that's a good idea while we're inside this place.
[ However, he hasn't been here long enough to feel any particular way about the resort or it being smashed or cracked open or whatever. It's an annoying kind of place. It's disgusting. It mostly leaves him alone. Mostly. Not entirely. However, considering everything, he isn't too upset. Or maybe he is not in a bad mood right now? Yet the lack of structure is an adjustment. ]
would he cry? people come back.
[ He is aware about the dead not staying dead. ]
no. it didn't give me that thing.
i wouldn't want it anyway. plus it probably wouldn't stay dead if it's here and i don't want to hear its whining. i said i got something better. see hiyori gets it!
and i am a singer.
this has nothing to do with that. i like music and because of that mizi gave this to me when we were young. it was my long ago birthday gift.
[Even Hiyori, the resort's #1 complainer, wouldn't be able to blame Till if he preferred the place to home. Because, well... yeesh.]
I probably would cry, because I'd be sad to see you torn apart by sharks! Even though people do come back, it's best to avoid unnecessary pain and violence, OK?
That's an awfully strange way to talk about a guitar, you know.
[When Till said his guitar was "dead" he just assumed he meant it cracked or the strings broke or something. But maybe he thinks of it as living thing because he's a composer. Those types can be quirky!
But onto the recorder.]
So it was a birthday gift!
I'm glad you got it back. I have a precious childhood friend too, so I know how sentimental things can get.
[As if the Peacock would bother looking their way for such a request. The only way out of here is breaking their way out, either through force or coercion. Using the Peacock's own abilities and gifts against it if necessary. Bakugo would even be willing to ally with the Suits if it meant turning the tables on the Peacock. Not that he trusts the Suits any more than he would the resort... or whatever might be affecting it. Fuck, there's still so much they don't know about the place. Far and far away from being able to mount an offense.]
aa, people come back, but they're punished for it every time.
and those sharks aren't gonna tear people apart, dumbass!
[Not in the violent death way. But Till should know the nasty side of their host's willingness to revive them.]
what the hell? a guitar?
[Suddenly Till's talking about a "thigh' and "dead", Hiyori's mentioning a guitar, and Bakugo's suspecting Till's got an enemy from home he hates. Violently, given his words. Obviously he's told Hiyori more about his past than Bakugo.
Hmph. On the other hand, the recorder is something from home till treasures.]

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.

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.

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.]

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! ]
no subject
Date: 8/18/25 04:11 (UTC)Baku-kun's a hero and not a villain, and those don't typically throw people to the sharks, so let's just take him at his word and assume he won't do that!
[You're the one who suggested he would, Hiyori...
Being concerned about Till is something he and Bakugo have in common. They just express that concern in very different ways.]
Something even better? Very well, let's see it!
[He's officially curious!
Fortunately for him and his curiosity, the picture comes in soon. And it shows... a recorder. The kind of instrument children use to play adorably off-tune songs. Not what Hiyori expected, but he's not about to knock it when Till seems so happy about it.]
A recorder, huh? That sure is nostalgic. Is that something from home? A childhood keepsake, perhaps?
no subject
Date: 8/18/25 22:17 (UTC)of course i am! what other bird would i be talking about?!
[Did he never get to talk with anyone about the resort and what it is?]
hmph.
[Bakugo won't argue. The only windows which really matter in this place aren't available.]
urusei! i don't wanna deal parrot crying and bitching at me if i chucked you!
[Right, definitely gonna yeet the blame on Hiyori rather than state the obvious. Would he throw Till overboard? Probably, if they were alone and Till was really pissing him off. Wouldn't leave him there to drown. And Till can't swim, so he'd be diving in right after him. Anyways.]
the resort gave you something dead? [That's fucking hilarious! And creepy as fuck simultaneously.] i don't want shit from this place! if it gives me something, i'm gonna use it for my own gains and fuck the resort over!
[ ... oy. ]
you play the recorder?
[He has the same reaction as Hiyori. A lot of kids in music class played recorders when they were growing up. Most of them made a real shit din with it. Till sounds so proud of the instrument though; it's the first time Bakugo's ever witnessed him show any real emotion and pride over something without being snarky.]
i thought you were a singer.
no subject
Date: 8/20/25 04:46 (UTC)[ However, he hasn't been here long enough to feel any particular way about the resort or it being smashed or cracked open or whatever. It's an annoying kind of place. It's disgusting. It mostly leaves him alone. Mostly. Not entirely. However, considering everything, he isn't too upset. Or maybe he is not in a bad mood right now? Yet the lack of structure is an adjustment. ]
would he cry? people come back.
[ He is aware about the dead not staying dead. ]
no. it didn't give me that thing.
i wouldn't want it anyway. plus it probably wouldn't stay dead if it's here and i don't want to hear its whining. i said i got something better. see hiyori gets it!
and i am a singer.
this has nothing to do with that. i like music and because of that mizi gave this to me when we were young. it was my long ago birthday gift.
no subject
Date: 8/22/25 21:37 (UTC)I probably would cry, because I'd be sad to see you torn apart by sharks! Even though people do come back, it's best to avoid unnecessary pain and violence, OK?
That's an awfully strange way to talk about a guitar, you know.
[When Till said his guitar was "dead" he just assumed he meant it cracked or the strings broke or something. But maybe he thinks of it as living thing because he's a composer. Those types can be quirky!
But onto the recorder.]
So it was a birthday gift!
I'm glad you got it back. I have a precious childhood friend too, so I know how sentimental things can get.
no subject
Date: 8/23/25 03:37 (UTC)[As if the Peacock would bother looking their way for such a request. The only way out of here is breaking their way out, either through force or coercion. Using the Peacock's own abilities and gifts against it if necessary. Bakugo would even be willing to ally with the Suits if it meant turning the tables on the Peacock. Not that he trusts the Suits any more than he would the resort... or whatever might be affecting it. Fuck, there's still so much they don't know about the place. Far and far away from being able to mount an offense.]
aa, people come back, but they're punished for it every time.
and those sharks aren't gonna tear people apart, dumbass!
[Not in the violent death way. But Till should know the nasty side of their host's willingness to revive them.]
what the hell? a guitar?
[Suddenly Till's talking about a "thigh' and "dead", Hiyori's mentioning a guitar, and Bakugo's suspecting Till's got an enemy from home he hates. Violently, given his words. Obviously he's told Hiyori more about his past than Bakugo.
Hmph. On the other hand, the recorder is something from home till treasures.]
how good are you at it?
