i. (You are filled with) Shear Determination

[It sure has been a trying month for some people. Ochako in particular has had a go of it, slowly coming out of the rut she was in through the support and love of those around her. Though she's lost friends, she's been constantly reminded that the ones still here value her and care about her wellbeing. It's been a big help, and shined a bright light on her when she fell into a bit of a dark hole. And now that the new month has started, it's high time she got out and started doing things again. Worked, busied herself, earned her stay in this world (and a bit of coin, too).

Quests are the easiest way to go about that, and while she's not diving headfirst into anything overly dramatic, drama always tends to...lock onto her, or people she knows in some fashion! A casual little bout of shearing some sheep turns upside down when the little creatures start bleating flames and catching things on fire. Ochako's not only attempting to herd the tiny arsonists, but she's also putting out flames with her elemental magic - puffs of ice or rain to douse the flames, or waterbending pulling water from barrels or troughs meant for the livestock to drink from.]

Ah, eh...p-please calm down, little sheepies!! It's okay, n-no one's going to hurt, you, promise! The shears don't hurt at all - it's just a little haircut--oh!

[Oh lord, there's another one getting spooked by the buzz of the electric clipper, and shooting fire from its mouth onto another one in line. Ochako is swift to douse the flames, the splash of water spooks that sheep and it in turn barfs embers and...well. Snowball effects. But with fire. Fireball effect??Anyway.

Help.]

ii. Cult Classic

[Welp, after the shear calamity (hurhur) of the sheep debacle, it's late, the sun has set, and Ochako is tired. She's a bit sore, lets out a massive yawn, and is making her way back from the farmlands into the city of Camelot proper. The streets are barren, most people are aware of the rumors about the criminal skulking about at night, causing violent acts and even deaths to innocent people...but Ochako hasn't been out much, kept mostly to herself, and really didn't keep up with gossip or much in the ways of news.

Her own folly, definitely, because she doesn't seem to notice that she's being followed, step matched for step, by someone moving towards her...keeping mostly to the shadows and avoiding the glow of the lamplight. She doesn't stop, per say, but Ochako's pace does slow just a bit as she stretches out and hears her stiff joints crack and pop a little, and her pursuer seems to take the opportunity to act. The lamp above her flickers and suddenly goes out - magic, most definitely - and Ochako finally realizes something is up. Movement, fast, footsteps approaching at a run...

The terrifying visage of a horror mask, a startled yell, the glint of a blade--]

iii. Unicornhole

[Welp, sure is nice to be reminded there are villainous scumbags in any and every world, yup yup. Ochako has no intention to do any sort of poaching, and is instead out to stop anyone she finds trying to poach unicorns for the shitkicker that requested it. However the hell she got wind of this kind of thing...well. Better left unsaid, but she's not here to do anything other than kick ass and take names. And maybe punch something, for good measure.

She's not fully suited up (because SOMEONE still owes her a new pair of boots!), but Ochako does have her headpiece on, and the gauntlets/wrist guards as well. The grappling hooks inside might prove to be a good tool to use to close the gap if anyone tries to flee the scene...and can also be used to deliver a hearty shock now, what with her elemental magic thrown in as well.

But, uh...erm...the whole job itself would be a heck of a lot easier if. Um...w-well--]

Ehe...ehehe--! Ah! Shhh...you're so cute and pretty, but you need to shoo! Go--shoo! [She's practically whisper-hissing, gently pushing at the nose of a unicorn that's nudging her rosy cheeks as if to give her kisses. It doesn't seem to budge, mouthing her hair and nuzzling her shoulders and arms. She moves away, trying to get into a better spot to hide, and comes upon another one that trots after her cutely.] Noo...go away...! I'm trying to save your horns, I--hehehe...no! No more kisses!! Stop!

[WHY ARE THERE THREE NOW?? WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM????

Apparently, and unbeknownst to Ochako, the unicorns can feel emotions, and they're sensing some bad mojo radiating off the young teen, and are drawn toward her to try and make her feel better. Animal therapy or...something.

Friendship is Magic™.]

wrapping! 🎀

[fullgauntlet]

[He has the same sort of struggles he always has. Worrying others is something that Izuku really dislikes doing. He has told himself over and over again that he needs to get stronger so that no one has to worry about him. It seems that has translated over to things like magic and things here too. But... When she places her hand on his arm Izuku looks up at her and catches the colour of her eyes and nods. Lately, he's known his friends to be much more forward about telling Izuku to slow down, to share his weaknesses, stop holding things to himself... Getting plain scolded- really. And he figures that's fair given everything that's happened back home now.]

I'd ... I'd like that too, Uraraka-san.

[Just a small promise that maybe he can tell her the real truth behind his faulty blood magic at a later time. And work together with her to try and figure things out with their magic issues together.

Then he nods and prepares to head out again with a determined nod.]

I'll be back as fast as I can. Make sure you get some water and catch your breath...!

[And with that he takes off again towards the woods. Like the endless force that he can be. Luckily when he gets back into the woods it will be easy work to find the baby unicorns again as they have seen the two teens as trusted people now. It will be some more horn headbutts before Izuku is satisfied with the results and he can head back to Ochako to tell her the news that the unicorns are just fine.]
