You come to my place. You can help me unpack dishes and shit while we talk. I just moved out of the dorms.
[He evades actually answering if it's a virus or not. But he's currently using it so...
But he sends the address to the place. A house that he uhh... just kind of owns now? He can actually use it as an example of the weird shit that's been going down lately.]
Be glad you weren't here last month. The 'natural disaster' they're blaming for all the damage to the city. I'll tell you about that when you get here. Staying put for the summer was a hell of a mixed bag.
[Katsuki is there when Denki arrives, letting him in. There are boxes piled everywhere to be unpacked. Only some of which came from the dorm. He's been doing some thrift shopping to get things he'll need. So there are boxes of dishes and kitchen stuff and appliances he picked up and hasn't had time to deal with yet.
But it's pretty bare bones at the moment. He does have a decent looking couch, a basic tv stand with a tv on it and a scuffed up but sturdy coffee table in the living room. He picked up the pizza on his way back from class and it's sitting on the table.
Katsuki nods towards the couch.]
Might as well make yourself comfortable. You're about to hear some crazy bullshit. Good news? Not a virus. Bad news... I wish it was a virus.
[ Katsuki gets an arm thrown around him immediately in a bro-hug, and then Denki chatters non-stop about everything and nothing as they go inside. He makes the appropriate 'ooh'-sounds at the layout, snoops in some boxes and then finally flops on the couch with a slice.
The big brown eyes look at Katsuki curiously as he takes a bite, mildly distracted by the envy that the guys hair always looks so much better than his own blonde dyejob. ]
Huh?
[ Give him a second to connect again. ]
Oooooh shit dude, is this like one of those things that appear when you're gonna be in a death game or something?
[Katsuki grumbles but allow the contact. He only actively swats at Denki when he's at his limit for being hung off of. And a brief bro hug is tolerable. Though he gets some snapping for his snooping. Focus. Food and talk.]
I'd say you watch too much anime, but... fuck it. We're basically living one now. Not a death game one though.
[He flops on the couch and grabs a slice of pizza for himself.]
Basically, the fuckers who made the app are tracking people with "notable spiritual signatures". They notify us once a month when gates into the spirit realm open up and ask us to go in and poke around for them. And that's just the tip of the magical bullshit iceberg.
[But. You know. He's at least making an attempt to ease Denki into it. He's bad at that. But he's trying.]
Also you can't delete or disable the app and it'll install on any devices you use. I spent hours trying to get it out. No dice.
[ A piece of pepperoni falls off of Denki's pizza slice and on to the floor, the man holding it too frozen in place to react. Denki looks like a deer in headlights, staring at Katsuki. ]
Eeeeh?
[ He finally says, putting the slice down and picking his phone up instead. ]
None of us know how they're tracking this shit. One guy described it as 'magical bullshit'. Anyway, we just know they are. Fuck. There's so much shit I have to catch you up on...
[He picks at his pizza as he tries to think where to even begin.]
There's been so much bullshit going on. You probably won't believe half of it. But the last few months have been... wild. And I'd rather not watch you walk into it blind.
[ The look he gives Katsuki is full of both utter confusion and a little hint of shame. Sure, not even his parents know about his... friend, but it looks like he's run into someone with similar issues.
Right?
That has to be what this is about. ]
Kacchan, I... guess I wouldn't be like... blind-blind... but I didn't think this was, like, a problem big enough for an app. Is it like some kind of support group for people?
[While Denki is spot on in guessing he and Katsuki have the possession thing in common, Katsuki isn't on the same page about why Denki is asking.]
I guess in a way it's like that. Everyone I've run into from the app has some kind of supernatural shit going on. I'm guessing you already have an idea why they picked you?
[ He might have known Katsuki for a while but it's still a weird thing to open up about. Now being told there seems to be more than one supernatural thing going on out there just makes it weirder. ]
Uh... yeah? But that's been a thing since I was a kid.
[ Another pepperoni falls off the pizza, still frozen in front of the shellshocked faux-blonde. ]
[At least he hasn't put carpet in yet. But still. Pay attention.]
I dunno why now. Maybe because they only started looking recently? I've also pretty much been dealing with shit since I was a kid though. So. I don't think it's uncommon for that to be the case.
But Katsuki sits back a bit, slouching as he stares at his own slice of untouched pizza before setting it down on a paper towel and wiping his hands off.]
Yeah, no. I don't think anyone on the app is completely normal. And shit's just been getting weirder... I can blow shit up with my bare hands now. That started in June. And I'm fire proof. Dunno when that started. Definitely didn't used to be.
When I first got the app I could warm shit up and light candles. I had someone fucking protect me back in May. While I just watched and felt useless. But what do you mean you get pain and fried braincells?
[Because uhhh... Denki he's concerned. Even if he looks annoyed and sounds annoyed. That is concern.]
[ Not needing much sleep he blames on his ADHD, and he hasn't quite figured out how quick he really heals. He's never had any kind of serious injuries (to his knowledge, who knows what happens when he's out) and small cuts and bruises usually disappear before Denki even notices them. ]
The dog in my navel just likes using me as a generator and that fucking hurts sometimes.
[ Surely this is what it's all about? The creatures that live in them? ]
He... thinks he understands. And Katsuki is... a little less cagey about the whole thing because he's been slowly talking about it to some people. So...]
You had a near death experience and now you're not the only one living in there, right?
[ Oooh fuck. He fucked up, didn't he? He somehow misunderstood all of this and now Katsuki thought he was crazy or something. Denki looks a lot more nervous, fidgeting with the hem of his shirt.
...until the other man mentions a near death experience. ]
Y-yeah. I was hit by lightning when I was ten. Should have died instantly, but this lightning animal thought I was a good home.
(no subject)
Hell no I didn't work on it.
It showed up on my phone in April.
[Those little dots pop up indicating he's typing for about three or four minutes before he finally sends another text.]
My last class lets out at 4 today.
Are you free?
We should talk in person.
[Because that's not ominous at all...]
(no subject)
OMG do I have like a huge virus??

(no subject)

You can help me unpack dishes and shit while we talk.
I just moved out of the dorms.

[ He's gonna eat pepperoni from you floor, Kats. Sorry about him. ]
I thought I was like, the only one. It's been really weird.
(no subject)
[Denki please.

(no subject)
[ He's kind of lost his appetite for the big piece, though, putting it down and rubbing his face a bit.
Denki's attempt to pull himself together immediately fails when he hears that, though. ]
Wait, you explode things and you're fire proof? That's so unfair, all I get is pain and fried brain cells.
(no subject)
[Because uhhh... Denki he's concerned. Even if he looks annoyed and sounds annoyed. That is concern.]
(no subject)
[ What the hell was even going on right now? Explosions and candles and Katsuki-fucking-Bakugou needing to be protected? It's a lot to take in.
As for the question, though, Denki shifts uncomfortably in his seat. ]
I mean mine is an ass sometimes?
(no subject)
[He hasn't quite yet registered what Denki is hinting at. But he is aware he's missing something.]
Your magic?
[That doesn't make sense though... hold on.]
...whatever gives you your magic?

[ Not needing much sleep he blames on his ADHD, and he hasn't quite figured out how quick he really heals. He's never had any kind of serious injuries (to his knowledge, who knows what happens when he's out) and small cuts and bruises usually disappear before Denki even notices them. ]

Kitsune. My possession. And there is a support group for it. Meets bi-monthly. There's several of us. But not everyone on the app is possessed.
[He drops his head back against the couch. He can't believe he knew someone possessed even before all the bullshit...]
...okay. Before we keep talking, if you have questions, better ask 'em. I want to make sure we're on the same page here.
