[ it's not the most pleasant experience, for sure. by now, oushi has learned to tune it out. but he imagines it's easier for him than a 2; because he's a little higher on the lowest rung of the totem pole, he hasn't received any treatment that's too terrible... ]
[bakugo likewise hadn't received terrible treatment as a 3. though mostly because he didn't put up with bullshit. if he paid for something and they didn't check him out, he left the chips on the counter, walked out with his purchase, and beat the shit out of any guards which wanted to push the issue.
that's not breaking the law; that's self-defense. so fuck off.]
[ well that's just mincing words, isn't it? what is a vigilante, if not someone whose heart of gold is just a little more selective.................. ]
yeah, obviously, if they're a suspicious person they're not gonna be some boy scout
[ then again, bakugou himself doesn't exactly scream "role model," does he? ]
[some people like to make a distinction, and there are plenty of differences between vigilante and hero in his world. but those guys had good intentions in mind, even if some of their missions were motivated by selfishness and personal grudge.]
boy scout? che! some people think that kinda person's just as suspect.
[HE'S A GREAT ROLE MODEL! LOOK AT HIS SUCCESS RECORD!]
no. from his own. he had most of his teammates here for a while.

pros and cons to each rank group.
no subject
not having much storage space feels a decent trade-off
no subject
for some people it is. i knew a guy who ranked down to 2 on purpose.
no subject
dropping down to the absolute lowest seems a bit extreme...
no subject
[Though was it really? When rank 4-2's tended to have people looking at them with scrutiny expecting them to steal or do some shit?]
no subject
guess he must be a really private person
no subject

uh-huh. it helped him with his activities.
no subject

i guess i've been lucky then
no subject
he was a thief who stole from criminals and shit holes.
no subject
what, like a robin hood type?
there's really someone like that, huh? i thought thieves with a heart of gold were only in stories...
no subject
uh-huh.
always pissed him off when i made the comparison.
[so of course he compared him on purpose, for bully smirks.]
never said he was some fucking saint.
he was a vigilante.
no subject
yeah, obviously, if they're a suspicious person they're not gonna be some boy scout
[ then again, bakugou himself doesn't exactly scream "role model," does he? ]
was he from your world?

no. from his own. he had most of his teammates here for a while.
no subject
how long have you been here man?
no subject
over a year and a half.
no subject
makes sense why you're so angry then
[ little does oushi know... ]
no subject
[though bakugo's normally angry, so enjoy earning that later.]
