Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

Let's see about that.

[ Rimuru suddenly rushes forward, like a wave. He will sacrifice some of his HP, all he needs is to touch, and given that Bakugou uses his hands for explosions, then if he is to use his power, maybe Rimurur can get close enough ]

[hot_handed]

I know a guy like you.

[Katsuki tries swinging his weapon to deter Rimuru. He's wary about using his quirk now, though not entirely adverse to it.]

He's a real asshole.

[rimuru]

Sorry about that! [ Rimuru loves his power, but he knows many would abuse it if they had it. Still, it's a lot more limited now, anyway.

In any case, Rimuru avoids the sword and he tries to reach for Katsuki from his feet instead, to wrap around them. If that happens, then no matter what Bakugou tries to do, he won't be able to get Rimuru off him; the consistency of the slime changes and his body turns softer, like sticky watery jello that sticks everywhere.

he doesn't know if the boy is immune to his own powers, but if he isn't, trying to blow up Rimuru now could lead to some damage on himself. And trying to pull Rimuru off him will only help Rimuru to stick to him even more.

And like that, he will crawl all over Bakugou in order to literally absorb him ] I told you I've eaten swallowed bigger fish than you.

[hot_handed]

[By the time Katsuki realizes Rimuru's gone for his feet, it's too late.

Hell no. This isn't happening. Not again. He fights back, first by trying to lift his feet, cursing and getting more frantic when it doesn't work, the cold dread sinking in his stomach and making his limbs heavy.

His heart is pounding in his ears and his gaze is unfocused and he's not sure why, but he can see blue among all of the beige so he lashes out with his teeth instead one last time before the darkness settles. Yes, he's trying to eat Rimuru.]

You can't have me. You can't have my quirk. I'll kill you!

[rimuru]

[ well! That's unexpected. Rimuru is surprised, since while it's not the first time someone tries to eat him, it was never a human before. That probably would have hurt Rimuru had he any pain sensors and he is certain at least a tiny bit of his "HP" was lost, but no matter.

Rimuru wraps around the boy completely and swallows him. In return, Bakugou is sent to Rimuru's pocket-dimension where he stores most things he swallows.

As another dimension within the slime, basically Bakugou will just blink and be there. There is a ground and no walls, but even if he tries to run around or jump, he will just end up in the same place. It's not entirely empty, though - all the items Rimuru has swallowed are stored there: a TV, some chairs (the table is gone....), some books, even some food. Nothing can be destroyed or consumed while there, so even if Bakugou tries to explode everything, nothing will happen - and he can't hurt himself either.

This whole thing will happen very fast though, because all the slime wants to do is to analyze Bakugou and copy him. So when he has the information he needs, Rimuru will spit him out ]

There you go! Sorry about that, that was probably a bit too freaky.

[hot_handed]

Die-!!!

[He's swallowed, and Katsuki squeezes his eyes shut, waiting for the liquidy hell to start, but then-

It doesn't.

It just feels like regular air.

Katsuki would never admit he's nervous as he opens his eyes. But as soon as he gets a good look at his surroundings, his fear morphs into-]

What the fuck?

[He's running to the TV to try and break it, snarling and biting it when it doesn't work, and then he's back in the desert, squinting his eyes at the sudden brightness.]

YOU!!!

[Katsuki sees red and launches himself at Rimuru, bringing both hands up to aim a powerful explosion at him.]

[rimuru]

Now, now! [ rimuru can't help but top chuckle a bit at this, but he will accept that Bakugou is right to be angry - that was too sudden, wasn't it?

Still, Rimuru quickly jumps away, and eventually he decides it's time to use his power. And his body morphs again and this time doesn't look like a "kid".

He will look exactly like Bakugou instead, except for the hair which is blue, and the eyes that are golden. Rimuru stands, a hand on his hip, as he smiles wide ] Now let's level the playing field.

when ur tab crashes and eats ur tag

[hot_handed]

Stop running away, you co-

[Katsuki stops in his tracks with a cloud of sand. He isn't sure what he was expecting when Rimuru shape-shifted, but it wasn't...

It wasn't this.

This is just surreal. It's uncomfortable, but worst is seeing that smile on his face.]

Stop smilin' and level this!

[Just because Rimuru looks like him and can do what he does, doesn't necessarily mean he knows what he does. That's what Katsuki tells himself as he fires his explosions like a stun grenade, blindingly bright in the already sunny desert, and takes to the air, circling around Rimuru like a twister.]

the worst!

[rimuru]

[ now, the form he can keep for as long as he wants, but for the powers, Rimuru only has 30 minutes before they are gone. So he will stop dodging and will act because he does want to try them.

Thanks to his ability to eat others, he knows how the power work, but that doesn't mean he has the techniques and tricks Bakugou learned on his own - after all, Bakugou had his whole life to learn all of that, while Rimuru just got it on his hands (literally).

For example, he knows his "sweat" is now nitroglycerin (sort of), but to make a stun grenade? No, he can't do that (unless he trained, probably). But Rimuru can still watch and try his best, right? When Katsuki moves to the air, Rimuru readies himself to meet him. When he is close enough, he will use an explosion on Bakugou, just like he saw him do earlier ]

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki is building up his speed to aim for a powerful attack, but he's not used to having his own quirk used against him. He pauses, stumbling in the air, and he's thrown out of his tornado several yards away, not unlike a ragdoll.

Picking himself up, he blasts back over to Rimuru, throwing a punch at his face.]

Stop using my face!!!

[rimuru]

[ the punch comes and Rimuru is too late to avoid it. There goes some more Health Points! But since he doesn't feel pain, the impact is what causes his face to move, but he doesn't react to anything else.

Instead, suddenly he goes for an uppercut with his fist, joining in an explosion. ] I quite like it!
