[Katsuki looks as grumpy as ever. But today...he's on a mission! If he's going to run for Guardian, he needs to do stuff to stand out. However, that has nothing to do with his current plan, which he doesn't elaborate on while he packs his knapsack, only stating bluntly:]

I'm going to catch a dragon.

[No, he's doing this because dragons are fucking awesome and he ends the video. Cut to about six hours later. His device turns on with Katsuki screaming various expletives and words that involve murder while fighting what looks like a group of bandits in Fayren. It cuts out before the outcome can be determined and it's not until the next day he's heard from again. Well...his phone is heard from again. Something like scales can be seen moving as an unearthly roar seems to shake the earth--

No, that's just Katsuki screaming at the top of his lungs.]

DIE, YOU FUCKING PEBBLE-SCALED LIZARD!!!

[There's a deafening sound that could bring down a mountain. That's the dragon. Katsuki doesn't literally want the dragon to die. The creature is way too fucking cool to be wasted like that. Moving the camera to show the top of the dragon's head, the wings at the sides which happen to be flapping, and then back at the thrashing tail...until Katsuki's platform lurches beneath him and he stumbles, grabbing onto his device before he can drop it and catching himself while the pissed dragon starts to take flight.

Katsuki just screams in anger, living out the dream of many RPG fans.]

No! Are you deaf? Eidion. Ei-DI-ON.

It's not your dragon. Aren't you one of the candidates for Guardian? This is how are you going to treat people?

I-HAVE-NO-CONTEXT-FOR-THAT. Asshole.

Is there something you wanna fucking say?

That is not my problem. I had no context for humans and I still earned what they were without calling them hairless monkeys. [ Dray huffs, ears flattening against his skull. ] Although with you, I have my doubt that you're not exactly that.

You're unfit for the role.

[ Happy? ]

...Fuck you, you whiny, overgroomed pissbaby. [He actually sounds mad this time. And at that exact time, he loses his footing, only not falling to his death due to the fact that he catches himself with his explosions.]

Yes, that really is an impressive display of maturity and conflict handling. How old are you? 3 years old? How do you expect people to put your trust in you when you do thi---oh shit.

[ Dude get a better grip on the dragon if you don't want to die. that fall even scared Dray. ]

You alive?

[ Dray might not like him but he doesn't want the kid to die either. Too messy to clean. ]

OF FUCKING COURSE I'M ALIVE!

[Two sweaty hands grip the side of the dragon while his device is lodged between the spinal ridges. Climbing on top, Bakugo seems to breathe the very fire the dragon exhales, but in reality he's just very dramatic and very, very angry.]

I don't care what you think! What've you done? You act like you're some kind of universalfuckingtranslator, insulting the strength of the creature you pretend to protect! I bet you've never even gotten close to a dragon... Idiot. If the dragon was truly mad at me, I would already be dead!!!

What a relief...

[ Dray's voice is flat and dripping with sarcasm but he is indeed a little bit relieved. The fire-eating thing, though, gets him to raise one ear and lowers the other. Weird.]

Are you a djinn? A fire spirit? It would explain the foul temper.

There's plenty of dragons in my world, of all sizes, and what I done it's not trying to fight or murder any of them. Which is more than what you can say about the subject.

Why did you want to fight it?

I'm a hero.

[Stated bluntly. But that sounded kind of cool. He probably takes it as a compliment.]

Not everyone wants to live in peace. [As for why...] To get stronger.

[Which is true, but what he is too embarrassed to admit is that he's doing it because it feels like being in a really cool videogame.]

It's 'hero' a synonym for 'insane' in your world? [ Because Dray really isn't seeing. ] A hero doesn't cause trouble, they stop it.

Says the one disrupting it. Tad biased, you don't think? If you want to get stronger, go to the Attleton's Colosseum and fight people there without damaging anything else. That's what the place is for.

I don't need to listen to your obnoxious lecturing.

Already did. No risk there.

Another reason why you are not fit to be a Guardian. Do you really want the job or not? Because if the answer is yes, you need to act maturely and accept critizism so you can improve.

So you're just a thrill seeker.

I'm going to win.

[His voice has become curt. As far as he's concerned, this stranger is just using this as an opportunity to constantly insult him without backing it up. In other words, he's not the kind of person Bakugo wants to open up to. But he does give him the reason, up there.

He wants to win.]

How, exactly?

[If Dray wanted to insult Bakugo, he would say worse things. He's not a shy kitty. ]

You need a plan for that. You can't just wrestle the other candidates into submission.

Edited 2018-06-07 08:54 (UTC)

I'll fight them to the death.

[He

He might be underprepared for this and hopeful that there's an actual fight involved. He's determined but he's still only 16 and has never actually done anything remotely political before.]

[ Dray looks severely unimpressed, then the sighs ]

Death isn't permanent here, they will come back a few days later and you'll end in jail for murder.

[ He's not saying it's a shitty plan but, that plan you got here buddy? Yeah, it's shitty. ]

Have you considered that fights don't solve all problems?

[ Crazy concept, uh? ]

I know how death works. How else are we supposed to prove our strength?

[Guardians need to be strong to protect, right??? It's perfectly logical.]

Have you considered your words are garbage?

Good, I had my doubts. Outsmarting them at the debates, that's how.

[ Yes, they need do but that strength isn't just physical. ]

Have your considered your views are wrong, you absolute walnut?

[ If he's going to be rude, so can Dray. ]

You need strength to back up your intelligence.

[Intelligence is important too! But...]

No because they're not.

Any mindless beast can be strong, that doesn't always make them the winner or the better at something.

[ He has a really complicated and violent past with people who had the same mindset as Bakugo and Dray now realizes that's why the kid's attitude bother him so much. Dray frowns, looking upset.]

Whatever. I have better things to do than to talk to a brick wall. We will see how you fare in the debate.

[ He hangs up after that. ]

[Bakugo doesn't care. As far as he's concerned, Dray used this as an excuse to insult him without giving him any constructive criticism beyond: I don't like your attitude therefore it's wrong and you're stupid. He's thankful when he hangs up. He was getting tired of listening to him.]
