yeah she hasn't heard of anyone else bringing shit either but she's asking around for me.
i got the sense something was up with her guitar but i don't expect her to tell me if there is. so as far as i know i'm the only one getting shit i need for free.
[She actually specifically said nothing was wrong with it, but since Dodger hadn't asked he read that as covering something up.]
what the hell? unless that thing's supporting her life, this fucking place wouldn't have let it in.
[From what he understands of how the resort brings people. Weapons "existing" within a person's body, he believes get past the peacock's proverbial security check.]
i don't exactly know her well enough to ask about that. but i could keep digging around.
[Not that he's sure how to test that without just... asking. Damaging her guitar feels like a great way to just end that friendship whether it's tied to her life force or not.]
...information is power. if you want to know about my meds, trade cards with me.
her username is 'brother' and her name is mitsuki koga.
[He COULD be holding that information hostage too, but if Bakugo thinks he'll have an easier time learning about the guitar then Dodger can only gain by letting him try.]
sure, if you think that's what it's worth.
sparring is an equal information exchange. no payment necessary, we'd both get something out of it. but if you want to know more about me, i want to fuck you. that feels geared in your favor, if anything.
[Or they could just have a social interaction that isn't overtly categorized as a trade deal... something that has never once occurred to Dodger.]
[It could be nothing more than a guitar; one of his companions was given a recorder as a gift and another got his cellphone back from his world. neither were magical or had anything to do with their survival.]
THAT WAS SARCASM, DUMBASS!!
oh yeah? you wanna play equal exchange? i'll fuck you as long as you talk about yourself. the second you stop, i stop.
[HOW'S THAT FOR A DAMN TRADE?! ... Dude, just tell him if you die without your meds or something. Sheesh. Ever heard of a conversation?]
all this is payback for giving me food and somewhere to sleep. dumbass.
[And there's a VERY long pause before he deals with the rest of that, wavering hard on whether to just keep covering his tracks with bravado.
...Bakugo's a good kid. Esikko's vouched for him. This place is safer than Boston, everyone he's managed to bring this up to has been safe. Hell, Chobe was safe to bring this up to. He should just clear this up before another person finds out the hard way.]
if i try to bottom, i'll burn you. i can't control it. i don't want to, it just happens. if we fuck i HAVE to top.
[The panicking part is harder to admit. But it's a start.]
you worked or that crap! not everything in life is some damn trade!
[Damn, someone's living a literal "nothing in life is free" style. Dodger would go insane living in a world with heroes who regularly risk their lives for strangers.
At least his very long pause means Bakugo gets to contact Koga and have a quick talk.
...
WHAT THE HELL?! THAT WASN'T WHAT HE WAS REFERENCING!]
[Ugh. Does it really matter? Not really. If they fuck, they fuck. But doing it as some kind of damn trade for any sort of information?]
you're gonna fuck people regardless of trades.
i talked with that girl. her guitar's a normal guitar. but she didn't wake up with it; she got it almost three weeks after she arrived here. as a welcome gift when she got her suite.
sex IS a trade. i figured you'd like it better than paying me in chips. but if you'd rather pass up on good dick and getting your question answered, that's your problem.
that's the same thing, right? getting a welcome gift, i mean. she still didn't earn it.
sex is a damn action! people can fuck around without trading anything. you want your medicine private; don't dangle it like some prize i need now.
no. people can earn items from home as rewards if they have enough cards. sometimes the resort gifts items for no reason. usually with strings attached.
i only cared about whether someone arrived with their "magic item" or not.
[and so far, his claim people don't arrive with them continues to hold true.]
they're trading pleasure and, in this case, cards. one step closer to going home, right? but like i said, your problem if you want to be a prude.
[He says that like he isn't going to keep pressing to screw Bakugo. Really, he's just annoyed at himself for misjudging the value of this information.]
whatever. fine, then i got bad info. if i found anyone that woke up WITH their item, i'll let you know. but i AM going to expect payment for that.
you've got one fucked-up way of viewing the world. duplicate cards don't mean shit towards getting home. they're there for rewards and other crap.
I'M NOT A PRUDE, YOU ASS! do you even know what that word means?!
[In Dodger's defense, he didn't misjudge the value of his information. He misjudged how much Bakugo gives a crap about other people's private matters. Aka: very little to none.
Unless he's grown to care about them. Then his interest expands. Somewhat.]
uh-huh. the only time i've seen someone wake up with their items if it's for their personal health or safety.
i'm being objective. that's all it is. and you won't fuck me because i have an ulterior motive and that makes you feel like i don't lOvE yOu FoR yOu. that IS prudish.
[Is it.... is it really.........
....He also seems to have dropped the other topic entirely, just noting that down somewhere along with his intention to tell Bakugo immediately if he finds someone who woke up with an item they don't specifically need. Arguing is far more important.]
haa?! where the hell did you get that bullshit idea?!
[Who the fuck ever said "love" around this guy?! Certainly didn't come from Bakugo's mouth! What motive Dodger has doesn't concern Bakugo much, unless he suspects it's gonna be detrimental to someone he cares about.
Asides from that, he can do whatever the hell he wants!]
[There's a long pause before he answers that second part. Still hesitant about showing his hand, but he is flattered by the concern.]
bloemrose is figuring something out for me. if something happens to him i've got bigger problems than my medication. besides, worrying about me doesn't get you anything.
[Whether someone's suffering allergies or has a continuous sickness, it's not a bad thing to have a few damn backups in case something goes shit! But Bakugo's not nice enough to push the issue further.]
