[CW for: blood & injuries, cursing]



[He's getting sick of this being ported out and ported back in shit. Only this time, months have passed, and he's not been left unscathed. Katsuki is wandering around Heropa, his movements almost...drunken, and while it might be harder to see via the network as he turns it on, it's apparent that he's bleeding heavily from his left shoulder. Those in his vicinity may also notice that he's bleeding from his stomach and both wounds go straight through his body. His breathing is strained as he growls out.]

Where is he-

["Uhm, Mr. Lord Got Arrested Killing People, you really should go to the hospit-"]

WHERE IS THAT SON OF A BITCH?! I'LL KILL HIM, I'LL-

["A villain! My purse has all my coupons!

With a controlled explosion, Katsuki goes flying toward the purse-snatcher, retrieving the person's purse with his teeth. Unfortunately, the second blast is less controlled thanks to his current state and he does a back-flip in midair before landing on his face. Standing up, he snarls and throws the purse at its owner, swaying as he continues his rant.]

OKAY YOU ASSHOLES, LISTEN UP! THE NAME AIN'T LORD EXPLOSION MURDER NO MORE, GET READY TO FEAR GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT!!!!

ESPECIALLY YOU, YOU CRUST BA-bas ...bastar-mmmph-

[The blood loss finally cuts his threats short, leading him to passing out right there.]

Comments

Uh...

[Is this how Denki feels, any time he talks to anyone? He stares at Momo blankly before his pride catches up and he glares back.]

The hell I ain't! The doctor said I was stable or some shit so that makes me stable! You can be a distraction.

[recommendations]

Stable just means you aren't in immediate danger of getting worse. You still need time to heal!

[ She's putting her foot down, hands on her hips and mouth set in a tight line. With a decisive gesture, she points back at the hospital bed. ]

Back in bed. Now, Bakugou!

[ Oooh, she's not using honorifics... She's MAD. ]

[hot_handed]

[He starts to snarl at Momo, but when she yells he immediately falls silent and just stares.

Slowly, he makes his way back to the bed, sitting down, and then he notices the gift basket.]

What's that?

[His face turns pink.]

[recommendations]

[ Seeing that he obeys her command, she calms down somewhat, and when he draws attention to the gift basket, she looks a little sheepish, but tries to hide it, clearing her throat and trying to play it off as no big deal. ]

Just some things I thought might help speed your recovery.

And... some things I thought might cheer you up.

[hot_handed]

You...

[She did this for him? Because they're friends? He picks it up and then notices the bear, his face practically going fluorescent pink.

Sure, he remembers seeing everyone recently, but he missed them. Seeing his friends here.]

Yeah? T- Tha-

Thanks or whatever...

[recommendations]

You're welcome.

[ She'll take the thanks, even as quiet as it is. She also digs something out of the pocket dimension inside her ponytail, a small clear shape with red plastic end caps. She's already filled it with water from one of the hospital water fountains. ]

Here. I figured you would be bored while you're stuck here. See if you can win the game without blowing it to pieces.

[ She sighs, tucking a strand of hair back into place. ]

I thought about trying to make you a handheld gaming console, but that level of programming is a little bit beyond what I'm capable of in just the few hours I had.

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki just...stares when she does that, then stares at the game before snorting. It's not derisive. He's just still floored. He pokes at the button a few times before looking at her, that strange warm feeling in his chest.]

This is fine.

[It's great.]

Don't just stand there. [He nods at the chair.] Let's see who dies first.

[recommendations]

[ O-oh. Momo hadn't thought he would want to play with her there. But she's glad that he would welcome her company. Quickly, she makes herself another ringtoss game, and fills the chamber with water from the small sink in the corner of the room that I just decided is there, before sitting in the chair besides Bakugou's bed, smiling. ]

Alright, you're on!

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki smirks at Momo, holding the game in his hands.]

I'LL KILL YOU!!!

[He presses the button and tilts the container around to get the rings to float down, getting two of them on their target while the last misses.]

Tch. What about you?

[recommendations]

[ Momo isn't as practiced at these kind of games (or any kind of games, really), so she isn't faring as well, barely managing to get one ring onto its target after several minutes of trying. She heaves a defeated sigh, and watches Bakugo manipulate his game with ease. ]

You tilted the container! Isn't that cheating??
