its not like he doesnt try in spite of his best wishes, gosh!!

but its great because his first two games he was really against. and if he was alone would have bussed himself tbh

the second game they managed his preferred way but if someone told him to play he might have snapped

...awwwwww come talk to dick about this HE HAS FEELINGS

look virgil we have to win always all the time constantly no other outcome acceptable

ok neutral somewhat accpetable

but win preferable

piecrumbs absolutely

guardiandeity aims for neutral at all times

im kidding

but he would in murder games

IT COULD BE A SECRET

to be fair bakugou would genuinely prefer neutral as well in those cases, but he's unlikely to admit it because he's like MUST PUSH MY LIMITS (AND EVERYONE ELSE'S IN THE PROCESS) AT ALL TIMES

THE SKY'S THE LIMIT

he would compromise on saying well because you are a pansy we can do it that way tho

THO I DO WANNA TAKE THE CHANCE TO SAY if you ever feel like oocly pressured into things pls don't worry, bakugou's like ... very inflexible ... mostly unresonable ... though he's Getting There

but me oocly i am obviously looking forward losses for selfish reasons but don't actually care

so i hope you don't feel OOCly pressured to keep up AT ALL TIMES

nooo oocly im fine!! like i get kinda nervous about if im looking at things as critically as reid would

or if itd not make it fun for others if he figures things out so i kinda hesiiiiitate

but reid is the one with issues icly becausr one this is not his job

two hes super afraid of crossing the small boundary he believes he has and comw to not

not only not care about murder but liking it too

no reid you're great okay wonderful team member you just need to learn to summarise things

but i am at his issues

he tries to swallow that down because it doesnt seem as important as einning

but hes simmering

DONT WORRY VIRGIL YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM

And I don't think marigold has anyone who was like "if we lose ill eat you"

reid is v dumb rn okay

well no!! but he gets the impression from katsuki. and darc said as much aaand

i think keith was like if i have to to win

and virgil is. still the dumbass eho will confront murderers without protection

or go into bombed rooms to talk to psychos

a~ life decisions. esp when half his memories are early series

KATSUKI WOULD IN FACT BE MAD PISSED AT HIM IF HE LOST A GAME ON PURPOSE but not as much if he told him why

but he's like always grumpy

angry 24/7

he's just very short-sighted and has a other time realizing other people do exist even if he's trying

so he defaults to my needs > everyone else's

i dont think hed purposefully lose unless it was something that really triggered but its still early

...Bakugou mostly reminds Robin of

Superboy early on

it's cute

but yes, come let Robin tell you all about how you are not alone

befriend my tiny friend he's good

he's already trying gosh!!!

he needs more... adult friends.

ps he doesn't consider anyone friends here yet

team is much too baby must older brother them

how does he morgan????

Keith is pretty much like, if he has to, yeah

although his answer might be different if Shiro weren't here BUT he's also likely to be like

just let him do any killing necessary Virgil ok he'll be fine :|

technically child soldier faces
