[ What kind of party decorations would Uraraka like best? The question lodges itself at the back of his mind, ever present. He ends up at a local cafe for a few hours scrolling through his device looking at party blogs. There's a notepad in front of him with different themes jotted down: wild west, pirates, tropical island, fright night, luau, masquerade, under the sea. It's quite an interesting assortment and he looks so very serious about it, staring intently at what he's written before adding another - rave.

When social media blogs fail to help him narrow down his choices, he turns to Trench. The video turns on showing him seated outside a cafe in street clothes. Once he sees that it's recording he gets straight to the point. ]

What do you like to do in the summer?

Action

[ Anyone who knows him is welcome to take up a seat and help him hammer down a theme. He can be found scrolling through a few party blogs online. Most of them are full of people AT parties instead of the decorations, so he ends up zooming into the background a lot of the time to catch a glimpse of the decor instead of the group cheering into the camera, beer sloshing, with ready smiles so unlike the one looking through them so intently. ]

[ooc; may need to do some mobile tagging this weekend so expect slow tags. ]

[ He's more weak to the idea of his friends having a blast with said water guns. Also, wait a minute, are you saying you can -- ]

You can make them?

I do not see why not, just a simple pump with a nozzle to concentrate the output. Construction would be easy, it's mostly the materials I imagine taking time.

[first fireworks now this. he needs to open a summer shop honestly.] If you help me find those I can construct some for you. Maybe we can make it part of one of your maintenance lessons.

I can get you the materials if you tell me what you need.

[ He's got enough blood vials for a hundred super soakers' worth of material which means he'll get at least enough for a dozen.

Viktor's Bazar? ]

I can help. [ Said almost immediately. It's something he's interested in, even more so when he mentions their lessons. ] Do I need to bring anything?

[viktor's bazar, funded by shouto's blood, open for business it seems.

meaning viktor nods, a faint quirk to his lips at the immediate answer.] I'll send you list of things to look for, so whatever you can find is all you'll need to bring. How many were you thinking?

[ Now, this needs to happen. He'll start eating more protein and iron to make up for it!

He shall await your list and head down to the market! ] A dozen, if I can find the materials. [ A pause and closer inspection of him. ] Will that be too much?

[assume that list is sent about an hour after their convo, and mostly consists of things like tubing, springs, etc. they are going to have some truly weird, steampunk looking water guns which? way cooler than normal actually. jealous.]

A dozen should be perfectly manageable as long as we have the supplies. [he assures, even if he's a little surprised by that many. still? if it's maybe for other teens too he is on board for the trench teens getting to just be teens for once.] I'll make sure the list reflects how much we need of each for that amount.

[ He'll get right on it and get the items to him within three days. Painfully overpriced, of course. But he'll be too busy looking mildly interested, which translates to excitement from him, on the mechanics of assembling it together. In truth, he'll likely have more fun assembling the super soakers with Viktor than actually using them, if he even does. ]

Private to Viktor

I'll let Uraraka know that you made them.

[just wait, if viktor notices any fun having there he'll try to get him into making more shit and Learning. but yes, there is a moment where viktor is like who? what? but wait, he remembers another post about a birthday from an intent young man.

ah, so this may be what shouto is doing, which now having all the pieces to this puzzle is making it hard not to chuckle at shouto's everything.

(honestly he's just happy shouto is having a better time than the very rough one of before)]

Ah, her birthday is coming up, yes? I'm afraid we haven't met yet. But Todoroki, make sure you do not downplay your own involvement here. You will be helping me make them.

Oh, he will most definitely get in on the action once Bakugou - being Bakugou - starts a fight. Shouto doesn't back down from fights and will give as good as he's given. He'll be roped into the game by his friends, using his quirk as a defensive shield from Viktor's super soakers because that's how they play in hero school.

This is sneaky!Shouto. At least, the sneakiest he can be. It'd be easier if he locked this post from Uraraka but he would feel bad about it, so he made it vague instead.

Her birthday is in December. Bakugou decided to throw her a birthday party since she missed her last one and was feeling sad about it.

[ ~~Don't ask about interdimensional, game-hopping BS!~~

As for the call-out. Is that a call-out??? Wait a minute... does he think... his brows crease slightly before his mouth pulls down, expression smoothing to something more neutral. ]

I don't expect you to do the work for me.
