[He stopped checking the list of names on the watch. Too many have disappeared over the past two months. People he knew, people he'd come to maybe give a little more than a shit about. After what happened at the end of August...
Fuck, why should he even bother? What's the point of reaching out, of making any kind of damn bond, if it can all be torn away or corrupted in a goddamn second? More hooks in the heart, more distractions to tie him down, more pain when shit goes wrong! He doesn't need to feel wretched holes punched in his stomach! Feel his guts give out when another name he knew blanks on the screen! This place wants them to play nice together, grow closer, then actively sabotages their efforts! Fuck, it's gonna drive him crazy!
And yet, he's pressing his thumb on the screen, staring at the display bloomed up in front of him like a glowing wallpaper. Lying on his side in his bed, as if it might make him feel better to at least know someone he knew hasn't vanished...
...yet.
Been a while since he's actually had contact with this guy. Someone like him wouldn't give a damn, right? Who comes, who stays, all of it's a pain. As if he buys that load of bullshit. He's good at deflection too.]
@ Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
hey, have you been here from the start? this place is pissing me off.
[ he's got plenty of holes... leona will take care of them. his guts, too!!! :)
anyway.
days blend together with the exception of the random little events that the resort likes to shove onto people. a festival one day, a camp the next, but at the end of them all he's back in his huge ass suite where he has rooms that are still occupied by friends. by people who haven't been unfortunate enough to become a statue or disappear all together. he can't say he's used to the sight of a message never returned yet. voices and faces he will try his best not to forget.
but he might end up doing it anyway. that's just how it goes, right? ]
mhm years now.
why? you find something in your ass you didn't expect to see?
[always knew he could count on this guy. holes and guts included.
the last time he spoke to leona, he was dwelling in the basement, taking care of his little hotel room among the pipes and darkness. things change. while he doesn't have people staying with him permanently, his suite's open to his closer companions to swing by and use amenities or crash for a bit. half the reason he wanted to change ranks in the first place. a fucking middle finger to the resort's "social class" structure. fuck you, bird.
but... the reality some of those faces will never come by again... fuck, he should be happy about it! he is! of course he is! they went home, they're not here, it's fine!
it's just... fucking fine.]
i wouldn't call you for something like that, furball!
[ ... tch ]
a lot of people went home last month. another one's probably gonna be gone soon.
dunno, think people have called for lesser things.
[ booty call... it's okay bakugo. he wouldn't be turned away by the sight of your hole! at least that's not the part of him hurling loud obscenities. ]
[don't lump him in with booty callers! if he really wanted that, he'd... make a night out of it, or at least have a steak for leona before getting into it. get used to the obscenities and loud voice. they stay.]
che! i know. dammit, it's fucking pathetic some part of me is pissed they're gone! who the hell thinks like that?! i don't want people stuck in this shitty cage with me!
if someone's gone, i shouldn't feel anything but good riddance!
honestly that's not unreasonable but we don't have any say in the matter
besides they're so confident that no one can do anything that they don't care about you being able to blow things up they'll just fix it or punish other people for what you do.
not at all nothing destructive, anyway a little fire or water and ice aren't going to do much can't really do much more than that without really feeling it
if you don't have access to one spell, work on powering up your others. you think elemental magic's useless in someone's arsenal?
yeah. it was a large golden organ being strangled by black chains all around it. only gave us a split second to look before smashing anyone there into the top floor ceiling.
[from the basement, to give leona an idea of how fast it happened.]
i'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here because you don't sound like you know the basics of magic. but i'll put it this way--- the house knows exactly what we're all capable of. otherwise i would've been out of here as soon as i got tired of it.

or pissed that you don't have control over it in any way
because it's all valid.
i'm sure i don't need to be the one to tell you that
no subject
Date: 10/6/25 04:17 (UTC)[with him ... he fucking hates feeling that way]
i shouldn't want anyone to be trapped here, dammit
it's fucked up i'd even think that way
no subject
Date: 10/6/25 19:19 (UTC)listen.
hate to be the one to tell you this
but i'm sure there are people here that are glad that you didn't go anywhere
so
don't feel bad for anything
no subject
Date: 10/7/25 00:26 (UTC)i know. people are gonna think that way.
some probably don't feel a damn thing doing so.
[he wishes he could follow leona's advice. really. but he's not able to cut his emotions off.]
wish it was that fucking easy.
no subject
Date: 10/7/25 04:12 (UTC)maybe at that point you'll be made of stone too.
either way, you're stuck here with the rest of us players.

tch. it still limit people's powers if it thinks they're too strong.
do you have full access to yours?
[they never had much in the way of sparring, but leona's always seemed monstrously strong under his lazy nature. fucking annoying.]
no subject
Date: 10/9/25 03:53 (UTC)nothing destructive, anyway
a little fire or water and ice aren't going to do much
can't really do much more than that without really feeling it

huh.
an organ.
gross.
no subject
Date: 10/13/25 02:40 (UTC)stripping some people of their powers and leaving others with them suggests it's got a limit for what it can handle. some of your magic was past it.
[which might be why his own quirk was weakened during... moving on-]
an organ means it's living.
