[Katsuki had been turned into a vampire a few days ago, and he's just been SO bothered by it the whole time since. No matter how many times his friends try to comfort him and reassure him that being a vampire doesn't change who he is as a person, he feels so...... evil. And he hates it.

He needs to know he's not alone in this. So that's why he's making this post today.]

So. Vampires.

Those are apparently a thing.

Anyone else dumb enough to get turned into one or is that just me and my stupid ass?

Kid, are you serious?

[He's not judging! But geez, Bakugo can't catch a break. Boothill was pretty immune to vampires for obvious reasons and didn't need to worry about them. He had a ton of fun kicking their asses, too. So, he wasn't going to judge or nothing. But he still couldn't help being flabbergasted anyway.]

[boombam]

[The moment Katsuki sees that Boothill has responded, he feels a wave of shame wash over him. Especially after reading what he wrote. He thought Boothill was so cool and wanted to be like him, and now he has to admit that he got himself in this stupid situation by trying to be heroic when he shouldn't have been...]

I wish I wasn't.

But I wanted to help by being a light source where people needed it. I thought I'd be fine. I thought that even if I was still healing from an amputation that I was healed enough to at least walk someone home.

And then I was attacked from behind.

[forkeroni]

I ain't tryin' to scold ya, kid. Walkin' someone home shoulda been a cake walk for ya.

[No use rubbing salt in the wound and it seemed pretty obvious Bakugo was torn up about it.]

No one coulda predicted the forkin' bloodsuckers. Tried to take me while I was down but them yellow bellied shirtbags found out the hard way just what kinda blood is runnin' through my veins. I got lucky, I'm sorry you didn't.

Is there anythin' I can do?

[boombam]

[Oh... Katsuki's not sure how to react when, rather than being scolded for making a dumb decision, he's told that it should've been as easy as he expected it to be. And that he was sorry he didn't get as lucky as Boothill had. It's tough when you're being hard on yourself and you're almost looking-- wanting for other people to be just as hard on you. And instead, they reach out with empathy.]

I don't know. I don't know if there's anything anyone can do right now. All I want is to be human again.

[And all anyone can do is just.. wait for now. Wait to see if someone finds a way to cure vampirism.

Katsuki does think for a moment about what Boothill might be able to do, specifically. There's not a lot in mind, but maybe a little bit of violence would help him feel better?]

Do you have an extra gun laying around anywhere? I could use the shooting practice. I'm having one installed in my new arm and I want to own a pistol as a backup.

[He's been really getting into guns, lately. As he's been trying to figure out what to supplement his fighting style with, since he has to completely re-work it from the ground up.]

[forkeroni]

I'm sure you do. Someone'll figure somethin' out, I'm sure of it.

[Boothill might know a thing or two about getting empathy when he wasn't expecting it. Bakugo was with him during that trial with the dragons, after all.]

As for a gun, I don't got one lyin' around but I'll take ya to the gunsmith where I get my bullets. They'll have somethin' for yer body size and weight. Mine woulda just been too much kickback if I'd given you one and you'd just hurt yerself.

Look, kid, I ain't one who would consider 'imself human these days either. But, as you know, it was my choice to become what I am and I know it wasn't yers to become a vampire.

No good deed goes unpunished an' all that bull hockey.

But try to use it to yer advantage until a cure is found. Don't let those muddle fudgers who turned ya get the last laugh! Give 'em hell right back and make 'em regret turnin' ya!
