When the shellphone post revs up, it's someone mid conversation putting said shellphone down for one reason or another. "--ave to, Bakugo. Eventually everyone has to."

"Can't convince me of that. What you can convince me of is you going and fucking yourself."

"...Why would I be able to convin-"

"Shut your mouth, shut it and keep it shut."

There's a long silence and a frustrated groan/sigh combo, somehow defying the sounds from being separate. "Say what you were saying."

"Why would I be able to co-"

"NOT. THAT ONE, MORON. BEFORE THAT."

"Oh."

"Ughh."

"You have to, Bakugo. Eventually everyone has to."

"Gimme one good reason."

"Having a broad spectrum of friends."

The person speaking next makes a noise that's supposed to emulate a buzzer, "Hard pass."

God that's even worse than a regular pass. Hmm... "Being able to reach out to more people in general?"

"Not on your life, keep trying."

"Networking...?"

"For what?"

"To bring more people toget-"

"Nope."

There's another sigh, this time just a regular one and it's from the first of the two speakers.

"Because if something happens and someone needs Dynamight, how will they know to reach out to you if they don't know that you're capable, willing and able? Through Midoriya and I? They will reach out to us and us alone. I think that would be a disservice to themselves and to you, you're an accomplished hero and I think people deserve to learn that from your mouth."

A small silence yet again. Something that when the next speaker speaks up finds him less animated and less uninclined.

"...Whatever. I don't care. Set me up with your friends or whatever."

"I only know a few people he-- Oh. Huh."

"What?"

There's rustling and obviously they're getting closer.

"I must have hit the broadcast."

"YOU WHAT?"

"I must have hit the broadca-."

"IDIOT!"

"Ah, Hello. This is Shoto Todoroki. If anyone can hear me. Please meet one of my best friends Katsuki Baku--"

"--NO."

There's a grabbing noise, scraping the phone before the feed ends.

Comments

[callmekacchan]

[He makes a choked, annoyed sound.]

Smug jerk.

[He can't deny it... Rody is right.]

Friendly fire then.

[anhonestsoul]

[There is an amused chuckle from Rody's end.]

Careful now, partner. We don't wanna sink this ship we're on, do we? [Metaphorically speaking, but he couldn't not say the pun.]

Besides, now you get the opportunity to meet a bunch of new friends! Isn't that great? [Said in a tone that indicates he's got a large shit-eating grin on his face. ]

[callmekacchan]

Shuddup. I know how to not sink the ship I'm standing on.

[Insert obligatory sailing ships jokes here?]

Anyway I didn't ask to 'make friends' here. I'm only agreeing to talk to people for the sake of getting to the bottom of what's going on.

[anhonestsoul]

Oh come on. Don't you know how valuable it is to have friends around? And even if you're just using people for information, don't you think it's better to get along with them, so they're willing to share what they know with someone they like? People don't work with people they don't like, you know.

[Come one Katsuki, this is Schmoozing 101 here.]

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki is too blunt and forward to schmooze, Rody.]

Either they like me or they don't. If they don't, I'm not gonna try to change their minds if they don't.

[anhonestsoul]

Hmm. Alright, just know you're making it harder for the rest of us. Don't come crying to me if I find someone who can help us get out of here before you.

[Is he trolling? Just a little bit.]

[callmekacchan]

If people are judging you for shit you didn't even do, that's on them for being dumb assholes.

[But that was clearly a challenge from Rody so...]

Fuck you, I'll find the way home before any of you!

[anhonestsoul]

[That comment actually gets a particular look from Rody, and he lets out a short huff of sardonic laughter.]

Hah, if only it were that simple.

[Even his voice is a bit smaller, as if he was saying that more to himself than Katsuki. But when he talks again, he's back to normal.]

Well, if you do, let us know! We'll be grovelling at your feet for all your hard work.
