[True. If Bakugou had shared this publicly, Manjoume would have hunted down the other boy and tried to fight him. Though, that option is not completely off the table just yet the longer this conversation keeps going about it as he groans loudly in response.]
As fast as I needed to be going so that I didn't get fucking devoured by that stupid ugly lizard, alright? Now seriously, shut the fuck up about this already or else.
[Bakugou's a jerk and a brat, even if maturing, but he's not going to invade someone's privacy out of pure cruel spite. This is just a lark between himself and Manjoume and he's enjoying the fuck out of it.
Playing the clip again and laughing at it. Zoom! There he goes!]
Why weren't you looking forward when you ran, idiot?!
[There's no getting around the reality of that embarrassing video existing in Manjoume's head. Bastard. You're not supposed to have your own fucking ammo!]
Tch. Cause some bastard nailed it in the stomach a few times.
Oh, I'm so sorry for taking a moment to look over when I heard you getting caught nearby, and checking to make sure you weren't digested after. My bad.
[Calling him out on that sarcasm. How Manjoume heard him over everything els-
... okay so Bakugou can make himself heard over a lot of things. But in this case, being paralyzed and swallowed wasn't the noisiest. Ugh, not a memory he wants to go back to.]
Fucking lizards. I don't ever wanna see one of those bastards again.
[ssshhhh don't even worry about why manjoume was paying any attention to what bakugou was doing during the fight in addition to trying to survive, its fine]
Neither do I. Those ugly freaks were annoying as fuck, and had the audacity to try to slobber all over me and my cards.
[How the hell can he not pay attention to it when Manjoume's shoving the evidence of exactly that into his face right now?!]
You're bitching about the slobber?
[Not the electricity frying brains and bodies, the claws and teeth ripping at skin, the attempts to swallow them whole, or the sheer number swarming them.
[This is Manjoume you're talking to, of course he's going to bitch about the spit.]
Hey, do you have any idea how fucked I would be here if my cards got destroyed because of gross alien monster spit ruining them?
[Never mind the fact that several times in his damn canon his cards have technically gotten wet due to being dunked in water and they've seemed to be fine after, but still...]
[There was way more to bitch about that some fucking spit!]
Get them laminated then!
[Yeah, let's not talk about how cards are soft enough to get ruined in water yet strong enough to stab into solid metal. Bakugou stands by the lamination comment.]
[It's not disagreeing, but considering they had tech to bring the two items safely to their world...]
I've had them repair my costume and gear multiple times.
[Just something for Manjoume to keep in mind, since he knows Bakugou would never trust either of those to hands that didn't pass his judgement. And yet, their battles and those events have definitely left his costume and gear in worse shape...]
I don't want anyone touching my cards without my supervision at all times.
[They used to host his Duel Spirits, after all. There's a chance that letting Lilith fuck around might be a problem in that regard, as he's not sure if they are truly normal cards now or his ability to sense their presence has just been significantly dampened.]
I oversaw the work on my gear and costume from start to finish both times before I let them do it on their own.
[He knows the unwariness Manjoume's feeling; it took some severe damage to finally get Bakugou to let the workers handle his gear, and he kept repairing his costume until it proved to be an exercise in futility. But he got to watch the worker repair his gear, talk to him and reveal some blueprint schematics from his memories to make it exactly the way it was. Same with his costume, so now he can just send it in for repairs.
Still, getting cards laminated isn't the same as getting the Duel Disk repaired, though knowing what he does about Manjoume's cards, the cards themselves are more important than the holding tech.]
You could just get a binder or deck holder. They have things like that here.
[There's a whole arcade and gaming center. People have comics here. Nerds exist.]
I already use a deck holder for my cards when they're not in my Duel Disk.
[Don't worry, he is already prepared on that front at least. Though, that's because it came here with his deck, rather than having to go out and look for a new one, thankfully. Manjoume hasn't actually been to the arcade and gaming center yet otherwise.]
Ch. [Have a noncommittal bumble of his shoulders since he's out of options and not working his brain to give any more.
Other Outsiders have weapons and tech from home and Bakugou's willing to put money on them not going through two kaiju fights and some other battle-related events with their homeward items clean as fuck on the way out. Manjoume might just have to ask LILITH. As much as Bakugou distrusts and dislikes them, it'd be a lie to say the organization hasn't tried to be pretty damn accommodating and helpful to the Outsiders. When they're not being assholes to them...
As for the arcade... someone's gonna have to rectify that.]
[After a long moment of silence when no other ideas appear to be forthcoming, Manjoume sighs.]
I'll look into seeing what they have here and how much it might cost to laminate them, but I have to be careful to make sure it doesn't fuck my Duel Disk's ability to read the cards when they're played.
[That changes things. There's tech in there that makes them work with the Duel Disk, huh. Bakugou frowns at the confirmation of what he figured since the start.]
Talk to Seok Dang. That fucking drunk's shit half the time, but he does run the simulation tech. Maybe you and he can work on replicating the card tech here. They can always bring more cards over from your world.
[So Manjoume doesn't have to sacrifice the ones in his deck to science.]

... he knew what kind of reaction he was going to get.]
I took it, idiot.
no subject
[Yes, he knows Bakugou was fine obviously during that battle, what with having been the one who eventually dealt the killing blow, but still!!]
no subject
[Besides, they can film with their eyes</> now! How could he not take the split second to record that.
Manjoume's also missing the point Bakugou was watching
outfor him while he was running for his life.You know, being a hero.]

No it wasn't!! Fuck you!!

This would make a great reaction gif.

Ding! You have now received a video!
... Of that one part during the battle where Bakugou had gotten caught by a lizard's tongue before getting spat back out of the lizard's mouth.]
no subject
WHEN THE HELL DID MANJOUME EVEN HAVE TIME TO RECORD THAT?!]
WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU JUST WATCHED IT HAPPEN?!
[Some friend you are, asshole!]

[it actually does kind of look like shaky cam footage, come to think of it]
I just happened to see that you weren't as lucky, but by the time I could do something it had spat you back out again.
