[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.]

What did the poor dragon ever do to you? Leave him go in peace.

You fucking idiot!

[Aaand that was her sign to take a lunch break! Satou is running across Everglade and towards the Fayren archway, using her magic to cheat the streets and jump over a few blocks.]

Whatthehell whatthehell whatthehell WHYYY?

[hot_handed]

Who the fuck are you, Cat?

[hot_handed]

Hah...what did you call me?!

[He looks mad. But the dragon gains enough altitude to take a dive so he has to grab on, yelling ecstatically while he temporarily forgets the insult.]

[mother_of_monsters]

I'm not a cat I'm an Eidion.

And I am someone who lives in Fayren and doesn't like seeing their habitants chased and killed.

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

Elf-cat? [A what.]

[He scowls, not even flinching at the wall of fire behind him.] My dragon says shut the fuck up, he can take care of himself.

[mother_of_monsters]

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?

[priceofmagic]

Did I STUTTER? Youuuu are so... SOOOoo... Grrrrgh! [She can't arrest him or grounded him, but dangit!

By the time the dragon's dive is done, Satou has made it to the Fayren archway. She's going to be exhausted when this is over.]

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

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

Is there something you wanna fucking say?

[hot_handed]

...Eh? [He's just...staring dumbly. His brain may have broke.

But nevermind that, he's too busy riding his(?) dragon, cutting through tree branches as if it were nothing while his hijacker is smacked repeatedly with them.]

I won't fucking give up!!!

[Video]

[mother_of_monsters]

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? ]

[priceofmagic]

There's a difference between giving up and learning not to be a dumbass! Ugh, I swear...

[She has been swearing, actually. Something Satou isn't consciously aware of just yet. At the moment, she's more worried about that poor dragon.]

Leave the dragon alone! Can't you tell it's unhappy?

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

...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.]

[hot_handed]

Did you just call me dumb...?

He's fine! We're equals fighting to the death until I come out on top! [Obviously.]

[mother_of_monsters]

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. ]

[priceofmagic]

I'm not even honoring that with an answer.

[She's got a feeling that the dragon did not agree to these terms and conditions.

Also, why is Fayren so frickin big? She switches entirely to flight in order to save her legs. Ugh, and she has to take care of this mess before her lunch break ends?? Maho Shojo life up in here.]

I'm giving you until the count of 2. One-

[Raine couldn't help but rub her hand against her temple for the time being.]

Is this the in thing you people are doing this day and age?

[hot_handed]

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!!!

[hot_handed]

No.

[That's all he says. The dragon is clearly upset but that's okay because Katsuki is always mad so they can be mad together!!! Maybe the annoying pest will let go if he starts going upside-dow--

Nope, that just gets Katsuki to bite onto the dragon's back when he loses his grip.]

Re: video;

[hot_handed]

It wasn't that fucking easy.

[It was challenging as hell.]

[mother_of_monsters]

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?

[priceofmagic]

[Fine, be that way!

Reasoning seems to be a no-go, so she decides that it's time to use some force. Unfortunately, she's still far from him and doesn't want to be firing beam spam across uncontrolled airspace.

But her pink magic is visibly charging in the background as she chases him down.]

You're running for Guardian, aren't you? So why are you behaving like the type of people that Guardians arrest? Are you serious about your candidacy, or is protecting people a joke to you?!

[hot_handed]

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.]

[hot_handed]

[Even Pink Cheeks' magic is pink. He scowls and vaults back over once the dragon is done spinning.]

I haven't done anything fucking illegal! Do you think I'd willingly ruin my record when running for Guardian?!

[It kind of stings. He chose her for a reason.]

[priceofmagic]

No, I don't! I don't think you're so stupid that you'd sign up without really wanting it. Otherwise I wouldn't let you use my name!

[She huffs with annoyance.]

But if you don't stop, you're going to accidentally ruin your record! It's about more than not breaking the law: It's about making people feel safe. What you're doing isn't making people feel safe... So stop it, right now!
