( ordinarily, ginoza would never be caught with his image willingly on the network, but it's a special occasion, so. it's a selfie-angled recording, gino standing a number of inches taller than the woman wrapped around his middle — one angela ziegler — the two of them looking about as happy as can be. the image of a glamorous house is apparent in the shot, taking up a healthy portion of the screen. two dogs can be seen chasing each other around in the background every so often.

gino ducks his head, a little shyly, before huffing out a laugh. )

Well. Uh.

( it's a little bewildered, like he can't really believe he's making this post at all, but here they are. angie gives him a small tug of encouragement and he continues on. )

We bought that.

( a hand lifts off on angie's shoulder to point to the house. )

And we're having a housewarming party this triple moon to celebrate it. Everyone's invited. I'll attach the information in a text below, but — we'd be happy if you came and celebrated with us. ( he looks down to angie, questioning if he forgot anything — ) Oh. There's going to be plenty of food and drink, and it might be a good chance to meet new people. We hope to see you there.

( he ends the recording with a swift, somewhat blushy kiss to angie's cheek. as promised, there's a text attachment to the post that lists where and when the party is taking place. come on down and get fucky i mean friendly with some fun folk. )

( This goof... Once he has the feed shut off, she's giving him another little squeeze about the middle and tipping up to catch that blush still high in his cheeks, her nose still crinkled with her amusement. )

See? Not so bad at all. And look at it this way— anyone who sees this and who you'll have to deal with, you'll be meeting in person soon enough anyway.

( She'll help fuss over the post settings. )

What do you think we should make? I was debating fondue.

[Katsuki just. Stares. Normally, he ignores the network unless there's something going on that benefits him. He's not into reaching out. But he recognizes Angela standing next to someone he doesn't recognize.

He's not particularly paranoid. Angela is a grownass capable woman and her life is her own. He certainly isn't about to talk to her about what he's been doing lately, but a house is a big step. So he responds tactfully.]

Who the hell are you?

[efficients]

That's true.

( it's just a little bit grumbled but playful still, gino pocketing his phone and then swinging two arms around angie's neck, pulling her in for a hug. he kisses the top of her head, sweetly. )

Can you make that? I really won't be much help.

But it sounds delicious.

[spah]

[Dell's not familiar with Ginoza - but he does know Angela. So here's a middled-aged-ass Texan dude on the screen, waving a metal hand.]

Howdy. Not too familiar with the occasional here beyond knowin' Angela, but congrats to y'all.

Hey, Angela. Congratulations!
You seem so happy, I'm glad for you. :)

[ The voice that responds is a bit raspy, and colored with good humor, smile easy to detect just from the curl of his tone. Particularly as he laughs, soft noise as he watches dogs run in the backdrop of what looks like could have been slapped across a two-pager in a magazine. Damn, kids. ]

Big house, dogs ... was there a wedding I didn't get invited to?

[ A lilt of teasing, all good-natured. He doesn't know this guy, but certainly knows Angela, and she looks happy. Ain't like Rokurou isn't always up for meeting new people. Sup, man? ]

[cadeuces]

( It nets him Angela, quite clearly, but also her hands smoothing up his back to help him shake the nerves of making a public post. You were so brave!! Good job Gino. Her face is turned in against his chest and she rocks her weight from one leg to the other, setting them to swaying. They had a lot of work to do yet, but— she's excited. And so is he. And the dogs are absolutely loving the yard and threading through the trees edging on the woods, giving them privacy between properties.

This is nice. The sun warming their shoulders and his lips in her hair, and it already feels like home. )

I can, yes. I'll show you. I'll have to buy more pots for it, but we'll end up using them plenty, I'm sure. And there's all sorts of things we can make to dip into them on the side. And— drinks, of course.

Congratulations to you both! This is really exciting!
Your house looks amazing.

[ He's not familiar with Ginoza but Angela and him both look rather happy, so it's nice to see after everything that's happened. ]

( what is this username angie help please

gino just tries to take it in stride, expression carefully neutral. he's likely a friend of angela's. )

Ginoza.

( an awkward beat, )

Should I call you Explosion Murder?

[hot_handed]

That's LORD EXPLOSION MURDER YOU DOMESTIC MORON!!! YOU-

Whatever...

You didn't answer my question.

[efficients]

( metal hand?!?! guess who also has a metal hand ... slightly awkwardly, he fumbles his hands around to bring that one up for a wave, like a silent acknowledgement. some sort of brotherhood, maybe? )

Ah, thank you. Will we be seeing you at the party?

[efficients]

( the switch to audio is a relief, if for no other reason than to conceal the way gino flushes at the mention of a wedding. )

N — No.

( maybe they do have matching rings tho whats up???? )

Just moving in together. Are you and Angela friends?

[efficients]

Thank you. We're still getting settled in, but it's coming together inside as well.
We'll be able to show more off at the party.
Will we expect you?

[efficients]

( OKAY )

Nobuchika Ginoza. I'm a Moonknight. Sometimes people call me Gino.



I'm also dating Angie?

( one of these has to be the right answer please i am so delicate )

[hot_handed]

[A-Angie?

He's using pet names??

Ugh he doesn't want to think about Angela that way--]

Katsuki Bakugou. I'm...not dating Angela.

You kill anyone before?

[Because he's a Moonknight.]

[efficients]

( he's happy to sway with her, a little high off endorphins and still riding the property owner highs. having any place to call his own was literally impossible back at home, but here — well. it seems like a lot of dreams are coming true, and it's all mostly thanks to angie herself. he leans back, hands moving to cup either side of her cheeks, so he can press a lingering kiss on her mouth. )

Mm. Make a list, I'll do a run.

( and a couple more kisses for good measure, u kno. )

[efficients]

( just

assume he's sweating profusely through this entire conversation )

... Why?

[hot_handed]

Because you're a Moonknight. Ain't you a warrior?

Do moonknights make lots of money?

[cadeuces]

( oh my god katsuki you can't just ask people if they've killed anyone before!!! She's laughin when she blips on with a reply. )

Katsuki, please— I promise that he's a very nice person. He did police work where he's from.

( Then, to take some heat off Gino: )

Will you be coming by? I'm going to make fondue. I think you'll like it. And then you can meet him properly.

[efficients]

It's more like detective and police work.

( is he getting grilled on his ability to take care of angela

this is his worst nightmare )

They make. Decent money.

I have money.



Chroma.

( tbh he's getting more money from dating angela but thats a story about bedroom activities that sweet boys like baku do not need to know about )

[hot_handed]

...Fine.

[As long as he's willing to murder for Angela.]

Yeah. Whatever. Can I bring some grenades for home security?

[swordhardy]

[ Dang son, Beyonce would be proud. ]

We are. Though she might consider me more of a pain in the ass patient at this point, since I'm usually looking for a patching up. Rokurou Rangetsu, at your service.

[spah]

[brother????????????????????

Engineer's expression lights up as he sees a fellow artificial hand user, and grins. He flexes his fingers one by one, just to show off his skeletal-like hand. Just a little.]

Uh, well. I'm no good at those kinda things, but I'd got a feeling the doc would insist. [He chuckles.] I could bring y'all somethin'.

[hot_handed]

You any good? They give you a weapon to use?

I bet. That house looks expensive.

Are ya nervous?

[mysophobic]

It looks really nice. I'm glad to see Angela so happy too!

[ It looks nice and clean, which Shigeru approves of. But, ah, at that question he pauses. ]

I. I'm not...sure. [ He's not doing so hot so he's really not sure if he should go?! But it is Angela and he'd feel bad...so maybe he'll stop by to just bring over a gift and nope out. But he sounds like an ass putting it that way, ghsgh! He's so bad at this, forgive him. It's not that he doesn't want to go it's just...mysophobia tends to make everything harder than it normally should be. ]

I'm not really good at these sorts of things!
