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!

of course
the underworld is the quietest and calmed place in all of existence

regardless
i'm sorry
please feel free to pretend i do not exist

[blastedass]

you're not in the underworld anymore. welcome to surface life.

huh? fuck that.
you're coming over for dinner.

denji already invited you.

[queenofkur]

h
huh?
what?

but he said you said no?
that is so shocking!

[blastedass]

assumed. he should've waited until we were done talking before giving you a damn answer.

dinner's at 6:30. i don't trust the "cafeteria" here, so i cook out in the courtyard.

[queenofkur]

b
but

i just hurt you!
i caused you to feel untold negative emotions
you shouldn't have to tolerate my presence for dinner!

[blastedass]

don't tell me what i should or shouldn't do!

you fucked up and made a mistake. accept it, learn, and move forward.
if you let little shit like this drag you down, you'll be stuck where you are forever.

[queenofkur]

y
you are being kinder to me than i deserve

thank you

[blastedass]

[She's not the first person to bitch at him about his atrocious attitude.]

want me to kick your ass until your penance meter maxes out?

[He's not a fan of people who beat themselves up either. Even if he's a hypocrite by doing so.]

if you're allergic to tea, say so now.

[queenofkur]

no
i feel bad,
and i would understand if you wanted to do this,
but my pride as a goddess means i would have to stop you and retaliate

[ And she'd hurt him again, in a physical way this time! ]

i have no allergies
except to my sister
so long as she's not there its fine

[blastedass]

hoh? so you can put up a fight?

[He knows she can; she's been fighting for LILITH all this time. But Bakugo's never one to back down from a strong opponent. And he's also eager to challenge them for the same reason.]

pick a time and place. i'll crush you.

[Now he's curious to see what she can do.]

just show up hungry, dammit!

[queenofkur]

[ Wait, what? ]

no
i do not like fighting
and i like killing humans even less

[blastedass]

what, you can't control your powers enough to spar?

damn, the goddess of death is fucking lame.

[queenofkur]

[ ... D-Deep breathes. Don't get angry, don't scream. Stay calm. ]

i did not say i cannot
i simply do not want to

[blastedass]

you're not gonna get stronger that way.

[queenofkur]

why?
there are simulations and enemies to train on
besides im more of a support than a fighter

[blastedass]

if we're on the same team, i won't know what you can do.

[queenofkur]

I can tell you.
There's no need to fight.

[ Goodness, why does he have to be annoying even when she apologizes?! ]

[blastedass]

whatever. stick to the support lines then.

[He's been there, done that, hated it.]
