[One interesting fact about the watches: even if you cut off the limb the watch is attached to, it'll reappear on your body elsewhere! (Also, they can reattach severed limbs at the clinic here.) This information was shared with Hiyori just the other month. Fun!!
But he doesn't explain that.
He'd rather not be considered "live bait," but Bakugo isn't wrong. With his flashy persona, he's good at diverting a crowd. All his "traps" spring from that same personality. Though if Bakugo was hoping he's good at setting literal traps then he's about to be disappointed. He shrugs a bit and says,]
That depends. But you can trick someone into revealing more than they ever meant to, if you know which buttons to press. And getting people to do what I want is the same deal: that's just a matter of figuring out what appeals to them, not letting them have any openings, throwing out distractions, and other such things. But as far as appealing to "the House" goes, first we have to figure out what it is they value—other than just card games and debauchery—so that's what I'm on a quest to do now.
[Hopefully that suffices.
The other boy doesn't demand a Game 52 explanation, which is a relief. That still leaves plenty of other stuff he should warn him about, though. Goodness, where does he even begin...
He holds up one finger and smiles grimly.]
First of all, they like drugging us. A lot of the restaurants and cafés are safe to eat at, but you should still be careful. Someone on the Network put together a list of places that are safe if you scroll back far enough. And some of the places with drugged food say so on the menus, because apparently some people like to ingest that stuff on purpose—I don't have the foggiest clue why, so don't ask about that... But that's thing number one.
Second, [he holds up two fingers] some of the flowers aren't safe to sniff, either. I've been around the garden without any issue, but if you're the type who likes to stop and smell the flowers, I'd think twice about it.
Third, [he holds up three fingers] there are monsters here. There were these creepy "crawler" things at one point—they looked sort of like giant spiders, only a lot more monstrous! I've heard there are monsters with tentacles, too, though I've never seen one. I think those are only found on the lowest levels, so if you have a room on a higher floor, you should be safe. Although I guess with your powers, you could probably make them all explode, couldn't you?
the phrase "gay little green parrot" is going to live in my mind forever now, thank you
