[ Then that bat is getting batted to its death, because Yato automatically turns to slice it in two with his Fucked Up Katana. A small pack of mistletoe bats flutters overhead, and he goes back to swordkilling them with absurd precision. A gentle rain of perfectly cut leafparts flutters around him... ]
Don't try to dump yours on me! I've got enough to deal with!
[ In fact, more are swooping down from the sky as he speaks. ]
[And that's admittedly when another mistletoe bat gets batted - but this time it's on fire seeing as Baren felt like flipping out his lighter and igniting it. It gets knocked into some other bats, which also catch flame and squeak when they would probably rather scream.]
[ Yato bats away a flaming, careening mistletoe bat with the flat of his sword, opting not to cut it lest the halves fall on him. More bats catch fire as the beaten one pinballs around in a wild path. As little charred mistletoe remnants scatter down on them, even more bats swoop in from above, seemingly double the amount that arrived just moments ago. ]
Are you crazy? You're gonna set someone on fire!
[ He raises his voice above the rising squeaks of the mistletoe horde. ]
[PROBABLY? Don't mind him, he doesn't see an issue with continuing to light bats on fire so that they can set fire to the rest of their fluttery brethren. He doesn't seem to notice that destroying them just... invites more....]
[why does yato want to set baren on fire again last time went so poorly
but regardless he's just making an annoyed noise at that before batting these fiery bats into other bats??? since more are gathering? little ashy bat corpses fall around them....]
SURPRISE YATO ISN'T DEAD (enough)... After a long, still silence, he erupts from the pond and proceeds to cough all the pondwater out of his lungs. More importantly than the fact that Baren just tried to drown him (that birdshit), he saw a memory. There's a cloud of mistletoe bats still swarming around him, but Yato ignores it in favor of staggering away to think about what it means.

Don't mistake me for you, stupid!

You wanna see bad aim? Then hold reaaaal still!
[ He starts beating flaming mistletoe bats directly at Baren... ]

It's like you're not even trying!

Yato shouts something, but it's hard to make out under all that jumbled Christmas-themed squeaking. ]
no subject
But that's a lot of fucking bats.
so he's just gonna
flip yato off like that's going to help literally anything]
no subject
and as the cloud of bats thickens around them, he grabs a fistful and straight up starts pitching them at baren's face ]
no subject
none of what they're doing is actually helping them
but damned if baren isn't going to just to try to send some bats bowling back to yato too????
it's a tornado of bats]
no subject
don't ask how
there are so many bats now that it's a wonder yato and baren can even see each other anymore ]
no subject
mostly because it'd be funny if baren tried to jump back to dodge a bat flying right toward his face and ended up slamming into yato]
no subject
so yeah
time for some punching and kicking and wrestling until baren gets off him ]
no subject
it's just a cacophony of mariah carey as baren is determined to be just as brutal to yato because why is this fucker picking a fight huh????
should they roll into some pond in the park?? they should.]
no subject
except not i guess, against all odds
yato surfaces from the pond with a big splash, flops out, and looks to find baren, if only to try to drag him up and smash some mud in his face ]
no subject
anyway that's a pretty shitty thing to do
another shitty thing to do is try to shove yato's head right back into the pond and hold it there]
no subject
yato flails around a lot, then after a few moments just kind of
goes limp ]
no subject
but yato's a god
he's probably fine
time to wander off]
