Week 4: April 22nd - April 26th

[cartesio]

Fourth Week

A second murder shook the town of Cartesio. Clarisse's ambush plan ended with Katsuki Bakugou's death. Now what?

Nothing to be done other than continuing their life and watch what happens. After two weeks, after the deaths they have seen, it's hard to think there's a way out. The only option is to wait for the right chance to turn the tables and see a weak point in the Sergeant's plans -- and hopefully not see any murders.

The townspeople's attitude towards the tourists soured even more. The destruction of the church was much worse than anything they had seen so far, and they ran out of patience. People who in the past were nice and wanted nothing more than to make the tourists happy now aren't afraid of saying to their faces what's what. Random pedestrians shout at the visitors, telling them to stop being criminals. Although there are a few who have more patience than the rest, general opinion is clear:

The tourists are nuisances, to say the least.

In the lobby of the motel there's a few more brochures, and the maps have been updated once again.

Your bar survived until the heroes got there, so villains with a hardware store doesn't sound all that awful. [Not like the stuff in a hardware store isn't the stuff they all have access to anyway. More access isn't going to change much. Maybe the lizard will find something else to attack with than chunks of metal taped together.

Is that a challenge Dabi? It sounds like a challenge. Hawks leans forward towards Dabi, hands braced on the ground for balance.] I certainly don't hear ya sayin' I'm wrong, hotshot.

[amburere]

[ More pointy objects for Toga is always a bad idea. But enough about teenagers and other villains who's names he can't be bothered to use half the time. That was a challenge, made for entirely selfish reasons. This time he'll let Hawks come to him at least in the physical sense—the rising heat around them a different type of encroachment. ]

Wrong. Think you're skippin' a few steps, like knowing my name for one.

[icariot]

[Hawks gives Dabi his best grin, unafraid of staying in Dabi’s space. His wings rustle with the movement, but make no indication towards moving from where they’re cupped around them both.]

You’re forgetting that’s a two way street yourself. “Birdie” is no more my name than “Hotshot” is yours. [ “Hawks” and “Dabi” are implied as well, of course.]

[amburere]

[ The heat isn't the only thing that's making it harder to think clearly. But it's fine, he's used to it. Probably. ]

Here's where I'm supposed to say: you tell me yours and I'll tell you mine. Too bad I never do the shit I'm supposed to do.

[icariot]

"Too bad" we're a bit past that stage, anyway. [Hawks parrots back teasingly, not particularly serious but making an attempt at copying Dabi's drawl for the beginning.]

If it means that much to you, how 'bout we make a deal? I don't yours, you don't ask mine.

[amburere]

You sayin' I'd kiss and tell, Hero? [ Don't answer that or rather Hawks won't be able to answer that, cause Dabi's making a show of just how well he's able to use his mouth here. It's pretty late and there's no one around, so it takes a while for him to pull back with an overly satisfied smirk. ]

[icariot]

[Hawks doesn't get the chance to reply before there's no room to reply. The kiss is long and deep and leaves him slightly breathless at the end. He takes a moment to breathe, and then it's with a barely there flush and a leer that Hawks answers.]

I'd have to say you're guilty of a lot, but I bet it's not that.

[amburere]

It's a shame really—just imagine the tabloid headlines. Number two hero and number two villain equal a number one romance. Fowl turned lovebirds??? Bet they throw in a beauty and the beast reference to top it all off.

[ His mockery is clear, yet Dabi embraces the ludicrousness of those headlines anyway. Not by going for another kiss, but by not so gently pulling Hawks onto his lap. That's better. Don't mind his roaming hands. ]

[icariot]

The real shame would be if we only got one story printed. There's enough speculation and intrigue we should be all they talk about for weeks. [Hawks easily goes with the motion, settling knees on either side of Dabi and wings circling to totally encompass them.]

[amburere]

[ Dabi lets out an amused huff, his grin curving wider. Sometimes, Hawks was unmistakably a ham despite all his chicken jokes and motifs. He shouldn't be so fond of that really, but his still roaming hands speak otherwise. ]

Y'know, we probably don't need to wait and see. The rag here reports on paper sharks, they're just dying for a real headline. 

[icariot]

[Whether Dabi intended the pun or not, Hawks cracks a grin at it and leans closer. Arms on either side of Dabi’s neck, elbows just resting on the back of the bench puts him at a very good vantage point to admire Dabi’s face.]

As long as you’re not the one dying to produce that headline. That’s not exactly something to crow home about.

[amburere]

[50/50, given that he's not opposed to using fire puns in equally terrible situations. Hearing it mirrored back at him makes him tut, it really was awful. ]

Did that once already, pretty bird. [ Too much information? Yeah, but in this case it kinda proves Dabi's point from earlier. And sometimes with Hawks, it's far too tempting to just hit back beside his better instincts. ]

[icariot]

[That's not what Hawks had been expecting Dabi would say-- if it wasn't said so easy, in a way only simple truth tends to come, he'd think his leg is being pulled. He doesn't let that stop himself from rolling on, however. Just tucks that bit of knowledge away for another day.]

Then there's no way you want to repeat it. Can't have your stories getting stale of all things.

[amburere]

You really have to save everyone, huh? [ That might sound biting and it kind of is, but he doesn't linger on it. ]

'm more interested in making the headline than being one nowadays. Can't let myself get rusty either.
