It's an old episode | [OPEN]

[glaciers]

WHO: Shouto and various
WHERE: Various
WHEN: Throughout July!
WHAT: Bingo catchall/open post
WARNINGS: Probably nothing


A. Bonfire

[Shouto's been moving driftwood to a small pile on the beach. He wonders if he's supposed to line it with rocks here too, so he looks out of his depths for a moment. Making fires like this is new to him, but in the end, he's surrounding it with rocks.

Noticeably his left hand seems to be on fire, though it's clearly not bothering Shouto at all.

He kneels down, putting that hand next to the fire and keeping it there until the wood catches on fire.]

B. Marshmallows

[Now for the second part of that bottom right square. He has an extra large bag of marshmallows and a whole bunch of marshmallow sticks. When he went out to get them, he realized that they only came in packs.

So here he is, skewering a marshmallow on a stick and looking whoever's close enough over.]

Want some?

[ooc: Shouto's bingo card is here. PM or reach me on aureatian if you want to do one! I'm willing to do the squares more than once.]

Comments

[explodosafe]

[A plastic bucket filled with water hits the ground heavily before Cutter drops himself unceremoniously next to it, sitting crosslegged and staring into the fire for a long moment.

He wants to ask if that hand doesn't hurt.

Or if everybody has gone crazy once again, although he fears the answer to that one.

So he just refuses to look at Shouto, heaving a sigh.]

I want a divorce.

[glaciers]

[Shouto looks over at him as soon as he hears the thunk.]

You can't divorce me if we aren't married.

... I'm not ready for that stage in our relationship.

[Is he joking or serious?]

[explodosafe]

[Cutter bristles.]

And I'M not ready to go check on your just to see that your hands on fire and you're using it like a lighter!

[glaciers]

[It's pretty alarming, isn't it?

... Yeah.

He'll turn his flames off and display his totally fine arm.]

I'm fine.

[explodosafe]

It's not about you being fine or not! It's about me getting half a heart attack and thinking you were attacked or something like that before I watched and got what's really going on!

[admiringly]

[ The beach is her third home, especially during the summer. Bonfires attract her not unlike a moth to a flame, and could she find in her heart to refuse a gooey marshmallow? ]

Yes! Please. Thank you.

[ No, she can't. She beams and takes the stick from Shouto. She's going to make the marshmallow perfectly golden, or it'll go down in flames. ]

Is this something you do all the time, or...?

[ Is it a Bingo thing in this month of Bingo. ]

[glaciers]

[It's not a bad place to be, considering the nice ocean breeze offsets the heat of the summer.]

It's kind of fun... Maybe I'll do it more often.

But it's a bingo thing.

[admiringly]

You should! Making s'mores and popcorn over a fire is the best, and this is a great thing to do for Bingo! Better than slapping someone or stealing something.

[ She inches the marshmallow closer to the flame because it's not toasting as quickly as she wants. ]

[glaciers]

Did you have those on your card? I have those too, but I don't... really want to do either of them.

[Shouto'll stick his own marshmallow over the fire.]

... You can pop popcorn like this? I thought that was microwave only.

[wordcarvings]

[ Bonfires are nice, sure, he thinks that too.

But a person's hand being on fire... Well, that's a thing now, apparently. Koutarou can't help but stare at that.

Sorry, he'll snap out of it soon. It's just, it's a little unsettling to see. (It doesn't look like the boy is in pain at least so it's gotta be one of those powers, right...?) ]

[glaciers]

[Shouto looks completely at ease with the fact his arm is on fire.

But on his defence, he actually meant to do it this time around.]

... Are you okay?

[wordcarvings]

Yes--more importantly, are you?

[ Because while he looks like he's not in pain, that's still a bit worrisome. And what if he loses control of the fire and actually sets himself on fire or sets something else on fire? ]

[glaciers]

[There's a reason Shouto's hand is in the bonfire right now.]

I'm fine.

[He'll pull his hand out and turn the flames off.]

No burns or anything.

[chargebomb]

[ uh, wow.

some red-headed kid just walking by does a double-take because... yeah, you don't see that every day. that hand sure is on fire. ]

... Is that some kind of trick, or do you need help?

[glaciers]

[There Shouto is with his half and half hair, and his left arm clearly on fire.

He looks like there's nothing at all weird about this scene. If given the choice to just deal with the incredibly weird power he was given like it's not a big deal or panic... he's just going to treat it like a normal thing.

There is only so much energy he has to panic, and that should be reserved for other things.]

What?

[So eloquent, as he keeps his arm in the fire.]

[chargebomb]

Don't know if you've noticed, but you're kind of on fire...

[ actually, saying it is slightly surreal. he just... walks on over and takes shouto's arm if he'll let him, to pull his hand out of the bonfire. because come on, that's pretty alarming. ]

[glaciers]

I know I'm on fire, don't touch it.

[Shouto edges away from him when he tries to get close.]

I... spontaneously set my arm on fire, it doesn't hurt me. But it might hurt you.

So don't touch it.

B

[tarotcards]

[ Probably after Shouto sets his arm on fire in front of Souji?! But in other news, they can just sit down and enjoy their little bonfire and whatnot. ]

Thanks.

[ He'll take the marshmallow on the stick and scoots over so Shouto can sit down with him by the fire. ]

I'm guessing you didn't use a lighter to set the fire.

[glaciers]

[Works just fine. At least there's somebody out there that doesn't have to suffer through being burned.]

... What gave it away?

[tarotcards]

[ These two can chill and set themselves on fire and watch as everyone else screams. ]

Nothing really. Just a hunch. No need to spend money on buying lighters or matches if you can start a fire on your own.

[glaciers]

[Shouto's preference is nobody screaming, but he also uses his power on a very public beach.

Shouto, please.]

I forgot to bring anything else. So it seemed easier to do it like this.

[He'll spear a marshmallow and start roasting it over the fire.]

sand castles~

[heroforall]

[Izuku arrives early to the beach in order to scout out the perfect spot to build their castle. They don't want to risk being too close to the water and risk having their work washed away, or too close to the heavier populated areas of the beach where people are likely to trample.

Finally, he settles on a spot several feet away from the water, but close enough to make filling their buckets easy, and in a more secluded part of the beach. He's brought with him two plastic sand buckets and a shovel. Izuku can't remember the last time he ever built a sand castle and, to his surprise, beings to feel anticipation as he waits for Shouto to join him.]

[glaciers]

[Shouto, as it turns out, does not enjoy saying no to his friends. He doesn't have that many of them. So as long as he's not busy, he's easy to get to hang out with. And Izuku keeps showing up in his memories- more reason to spend time with him.

He arrives a few minutes later with a bucket and shovel in one hand, and a picnic basket in the other.]

Izuku.

[He settles next to him.]

Have you done this a lot?

[heroforall]

Hey!

[He smiles up at Shouto from his spot on the sand and gives the picnic basket a curious look. He hadn't even thought to bring them lunch. His mom would have prepared something if he'd told her.]

I did when I was younger. It was one of my favorite parts about going to the beach. But I haven't built one for a long time. What about you?

Did you bring us lunch?

[glaciers]

[It's nothing fancy, but Shouto did make it on his own. As on his own as store bought bread and peanut butter and jelly can be, that is.]

Hm... I've done it a couple of times this month. But I didn't do it while I was growing up.

Yeah. Mom said it would be good if we were planning on staying out here for a while.
