Greetings everyone (edit: except Silco).

I come to ask for your shared wisdom following a disagreement I have had with one of our peers, Bakugō Katsuki. I am of the opinion that his unusual vocabulary, his aggressive predisposition and his unstable temper are a detriment to his social life. I have personally experienced difficulties communicating properly with him, seeing how all conversations quickly devolve into a purposeless rain of insulting words before any progress can be made.

When I said as much, he suggested the problem comes from myself. He accuses me of taking his words too literally and of behaving in too much of a maternal manner towards him. I admit it is a possibility we simply don't see eye to eye - however, I doubt his temper, poor choice of words and aggressiveness are limited to our interactions.

This is why I am asking for your wisdom and opinion, especially those familiar with Bakugo to - hopefully - help him see reason.

Thank you kindly!

If you got issues with her, then tell it to her face.

[zauneyete]

Don't worry. I have. Frequently and openly.

Would you believe she hasn't posted to the network about me? She cuts straight to the chase, and tries to kill me instead.

[blastedass]

Why hasn't she succeeded?

[zauneyete]

Because I'm uniquely talented at staying alive.

[ People keep interfering to save his stupid ass. ]

[blastedass]

Or she decides not to kill you each time.

[zauneyete]

Considering I've killed gods before... I would understand her hesitation.

[ He says. Modestly. ]

[blastedass]

Hah! So you got real nerfed coming to this place, huh.

1/2

[zauneyete]

Nerfed?

[zauneyete]

[ hold on looking up slang.

Alright. lmao. He's got it. ]

Oh no. I come from a place where people don't have powers.

[ We aren't getting into greater runeterra bullshit this isn't about them. ]

[blastedass]

And yet you've killed gods.

[Sus to the max.]

[zauneyete]

One god. Specifically.

I'm a planner, you see. Never underestimate someone who enjoys putting things together just right.

[ also might have tried to sell his soul to a devil ]

[blastedass]

Never trust someone who lies about their accomplishments either.

[He doesn't appreciate a blowhard.]

[zauneyete]

Oh no, you see, I am hardly lying.

I am simply the type that understands what is needed to achieve a purpose. I can devise the plan, and do it. Never doubt someone truly motivated.

[ Unfortunately, Silco is silco ]

[blastedass]

What's motivating you against the gods in your world?

[He could continue to harp on the difference between "i killed gods" versus "one god. specifically" but Bakugo's already made the point. It's petty to keep hitting it.

(And yeah, he can be real petty.)]

[zauneyete]

[ Bakugo is correct to be petty to Silco always. ]

When they get in the way of what must be done. I will stop at nothing to see my goals made manifest.

[blastedass]

[Don't encourage his petty. Cause one version is hanging up.]

And Pigtails is getting in your way?

[zauneyete]

Often, yes.

And if she isn't in the moment, she's one temper tantrum away. Ah, but LILITH keeps all of our hands stilled, don't they? How fortunate for all of us.

[blastedass]

Aren't you lucky.

You're one of the few people who can accomplish his life goals in an entirely different unrelated world.

[zauneyete]

If our captors keep their end of the deal, I will.

Which means I need to not be killed by weak-willed goddesses who cannot handle it when someone tells them a truth they don't want to hear.

[blastedass]

Their end? All they're gonna do is send you back home with nothing.

Whatever you do here won't mean shit for your homeworld.

[zauneyete]

Do you think I believe their promise blindly?

I can assure you, it will matter. Either for my homeworld, or for this one in some way. It's up to them if they choose to see me leave my mark here or there.

[ :) Threateningly ]

[blastedass]

Then don't talk so self-assuredly like you do.

No shit. They can send you home in an instant, so you won't be anyone's problem but your own and your world's.

Unless a kaiju kills you first.

[or the other outsiders, since apparently this man is 'most detested number one' in majority vote.]

[zauneyete]

I'll talk however I want. It's not my fault you all take everything presented at face value when someone speaks.

[ crying... silco... just stop lying to people already ]

Sure, they could send me home on a whim. Wouldn't that be terrible? I'm sure I would be devastated to be back where I belong.

[ And devastated if any of his contingency plans that will not work because i said so failed ]

[blastedass]

You wanna doubletalk riddles, go run your mouth at a mirror. I don't have time to second guess any bullshit outta your mouth.

[prepare never to be trusted again. or have a very bratty response of "so what do you really mean?" at every single thing he says. trolling petty brat.]

We should all be back where we belong. At least we should've been given the choice.

[No one deserves to be kidnapped. Even if he understands why people would want to stay here. Himself included.

"because i said so" - i'm laughing!]

[zauneyete]

[ i mean. he is a liar, so. bakugo is correct to question everything. ]

Oh, correct. Wouldn't it be nice if they asked? Have you ever heard of a company asking anything of the people? We are their commodity, fighting Kaiju for their profit.

We'll see if they fulfill their promises. At the end of the day, though, we have no choice, do we? So we'll make this as palatable as we must. Whether that is indulging in dreams of them fulfilling their promises or not, hm?
