[Video & Action at Fayren]

[hot_handed]

[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.]

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.]

[mother_of_monsters]

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.

[hot_handed]

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.]

[mother_of_monsters]

[ 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? ]

[hot_handed]

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?

[mother_of_monsters]

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. ]

[hot_handed]

You need strength to back up your intelligence.

[Intelligence is important too! But...]

No because they're not.

[mother_of_monsters]

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. ]

Not Here

[hot_handed]

[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.]
