[blastedass]

Yeah. There's less opportunity for the game to throw some random arrow at you offbeat.

[Two-person team. They're going into this together.]

[defendure]

I'll try to keep up! I normally just pick songs I like.

[ So...pop and rock mostly. ]

[blastedass]

You got a list of songs you know on these machines?

[They're about three teams away from having a practice round.]

[defendure]

They have the theme song for that Gem Guards show.

[ Otherwise... ]

Like everything by PoP-Rockers.

[blastedass]

Yeah, I've played that one a lot since we heard it.

[Can't say he's done a number of PoP-Rockers though... Katsuki frowns in thought.]

Most anything by Out with a Bang I know.

[defendure]

Oh, I know some by them. They're in a few of my cartoons!

[ Yes. That is how he knows things. ]

[blastedass]

They did a few themes songs and background tracks.

[Katsuki knows most of them from music browsing or action movies, with the occasional cartoon thrown in there for nostalgic purposes.]

[defendure]

They did the outro for one of the ones I watch regularly...huh, that team right now is pretty good.

[ Competition. ]

[blastedass]

[Katsuki's been watching the other teams like a hawks since they got over here. There seem to be some pretty good partners... No one's signing up who only *think* they're good.]

We're gonna murder a buncha extras today.

[defendure]

I kinda feel like that's your favorite date activity.

[ Murdering extras. ]

[blastedass]

It's one of them.

[He has a few favorites. One of them is staying in and not bothering with people at all.]

[defendure]

I'll leave the trash talking to you.

[ He's, uh, bad at it mostly. ]

[blastedass]

You get around to trash talking when you're riled up enough.

[Don't think he hasn't noticed that, both at home and here.]

[defendure]

I don't think I'm gonna get that angry about a video game?

[ At most he'll compliment their rivals. ]

[blastedass]

Competitive, not angry.

[Because yeah, Izuku wouldn't get angry over something like this.]

[defendure]

I'll try my best of course...

[ He never phones in a contest. ]

[blastedass]

You always do.

[Katsuki trusts him completely to do that. Izuku's grown a lot.]

[defendure]

I think we do three songs so...we can each pick one then choose the third together.

[ Maybe the theme song. ]

[blastedass]

Tsk, this machine doesn't have the song I'm best at.

[The three DDR-style games only share a scant handful of the same songs. That can cross them up.]

But that works. You, me, both.

[defendure]

Maybe the theme song for the shared one? You like the show too, right?

[ Or something else...? ]

[blastedass]

Yeah. I've done that one a lot.

[He pulls out his phone and in a minute or so, has the list of songs this machine has on it.]

Here, we can start looking.

[defendure]

[ Izuku leans in against Katsuki to see the phone screen. ]

I'm pretty okay with anything, but...I think this PoP-Rockers one for me.

[blastedass]

[Katsuki tilts it so Izuku has a better view, though not enough he won't have to lean on him. Dork.]

All right. That's one. Here's the theme song for the Gem Knights.

[defendure]

Then which one are you picking for you?

[ Which of them is the dork if Katsuki is enabling the lean? ]

[blastedass]

[He wasn't enabling it! He was looking at his phone! Excuse you, hmph!]

This one.

[Katsuki touches the screen and opens a song by Out with a Bang.]
