[Katsuki is sitting in his bedroom wearing casual clothes, which ends up being a black tank top and pants. He looks irritated as he looks down at his screen, but then again he usually looks irritated.]

I'll get right to the point. Hugging and physical contact's how we make money and everything, ain't it? I wanna make enough money so let's- let-

[His scowl deepens and his face begins to redden as his frustration grows. His voice goes low and gravely as he tries to cover up his embarrassment.]

Look, I can't be the only one here who wants to get rich and multiple god powers and shit but thinks hugging for it is fucking stupid. I'm willing to hug you idiots and put up with your disgusting smells and stupid fashion choices, and in return we can both get paid and do whatever we want.

Let's do this shit.

I don't need luck. [Katsuki grumbles.] This is fucking stupid-

[Posting his idea was a mistake, but it was the quickest way he could think to stop this torture. Why can't he make dora off of fighting instead???]

Wha- No, I'll be fine.

[menaretrash]

It's pretty dumb, but also like... convenient, right?

[ Listen, man. There's no such thing as a dumb idea. ]

It's more or less... awkward, if you ask me. But I guess it beats having to actually get up and do a real job... sorta.

[ ....He says he'll be fine, and yet: ]

You sure? If you're hurting for cash, I'd gladly come to wherever you are and give you a few pats. Or uh, whatever.

[hot_handed]

Not every real job is shitty. Why can't we save the world and make money through shit that makes sense, like killing villains or those monsters that appeared? Expecting a bunch of strangers to hug and hold hands is-

[...Okay, it's awkward, like Ann said.

He scoffs loudly and is about to argue and insist he's fine, but-]

Fine, whatever. It ain't like I'm hurting, but you don't seem very annoying.

[menaretrash]

True enough. Even still, it could be worse, right? Consider yourself lucky that it's only holding hands.

[ Listen, dude. She knows someone from the last place she'd been trapped in that hadn't gotten this lucky, so, she's counting her damned blessings. ]

Sure, gimme a time and place and I'll meet you there and we can do back pats or whatever cash grab we need to.

[hot_handed]

I should consider myself lucky just because it's only that? A kidnapping's a kidnapping. I don't gotta be grateful for shit.

[Is everyone but him stupid??? He doesn't see how he's lucky. The only thing he's grateful for is that his friend is here and the people he's met, but the gods are assholes as far as he's concerned.]

What about the gardens or whatever? [He's trying to think of a place that's free and not weird.] ...Thanks.

[menaretrash]

If it helps, this is my second go at this 'kidnapping' shit, too. Not to mention a few incidents at home, so, I get your frustration. But right now, it is what it is, and we just need to bide our time. But this is probably something to discuss in person and not over the network.

[ Because she trusts exactly 0 people who may be paying attention (save for Seto, but, deets), namely the aforementioned asshole gods. ]

Sure, that's fine by me. See you after a bit! [ She pauses, and then smiles. ] No problem!

video -> action?

[hot_handed]

...What do ya mean, some other omnipotent losers pulled this bullshit with you?

[Still, she has a point. Katsuki grunts in response and and ends the feed. He makes sure to put on his hero costume before he heads out to the gardens, mostly due to what they were just talking about. He doesn't trust the locals.]

video -> action! [ALSO sorry, DW ate this tag for some reason orz]

[menaretrash]

Yeah... something like that.

[ She flashes him a peace sign before the feed ends, and soon she's on her way to the designated meeting area. Upon arrival, she smiles at him and lifts a hand in greeting. ]

Hey! Good to see you in person!
