⚔️️ WHAT: Arrival, Quests, Magic - General Catch-All
🕒 WHEN: Throughout Feb
🗺️ WHERE: Around!
⚠️ WARNINGS: Language, Fighting, Possible Spoilers



( Red Spring: Training )

[ All right. He's been soaked to the bone. Insulted by both classmates and other losers on the trip over through the caravan. All the while his Quirk is 100% gone and this magic crap is being thrown at him. It's kind of a horrible time to be Bakugou Katsuki right now? Like, seriously, he hates all of this and definitely isn't having a good time of it. How he feels about it is something he's definitely going to keep to himself and despite what people think, he's actually an emotional person. Keeping his trap shut is the only way he's not losing his absolute fucking mind.

When it's explained that they can ask people to help them learn basics and maybe even figure out the new talents they've been given? Well Katsuki doesn't really want to ask for help. It's rough for him to admit that he needs it. However, he swallows his damn pride and goes along anyway.

So he's actually sitting there, taking notes on the smartphone ( though it probably looks like he's playing around to be honest )... And half staring at his open palm. There are no sparks, but flickers of light dancing around his fingertips. ]

Damn useless.

[ That's his opinion anyway. Maybe someone better tell him what all he can do with his newfound Light Magic. ]


( Poliwag Grass )

[ You know who actually doesn't have a problem cleaning? This guy. It's almost a compulsion, really. No, he doesn't talk to the Trolls. It's honestly for the best and if anyone who knows Bakugou is around, they'd probably tell you exactly why! Not that it matters...

He sees the mess and just. Has to. Fix it. So expect him to either snatch your cleaning instrument out of your hands and berate you for a "piss-poor job" or actually throw a towel at your face and tell you to start working and to do it right.

Sorry but not sorry. ]


( Quest: Pure Heart Side A )

"The pure of heart will form the bridge with a leap of faith." This magical quest bullshit is actually real.

[ So, as far as he understands it, in order to get the crystals that this lady or whoever wants, he has to cross this bridge. No big deal, right? Only... There's not... A bridge? And right now he can't really see anyone crossing it so it's not like he has any clue that he can just walk across. Though he'll probably figure that one out in a minute. ]

What's gonna be next? An actual sphinx?

[ Boy, your nerd is showing. And okay maybe he's having issues with the whole "pure of heart" thing? But that's not something he'll openly admit to. ]


( Quest: Pure Heart Side B )

[ Okay so now there's a crystal in hand and it's retained it's silver color. For now. Yet Bakugou is still walking towards the cottage, little vial in hand. Well, tucked into his pocket. That is, until he stops and holds the thing up to give it a good look. ]

This is some kind of shady shit.

[ So... Are you going to encourage him to go through with it or agree with him? His answer might surprise you! ]


( Exploring )

[ Otherwise... Katsuki can be found just meandering around the City of Camelot in general. It is a new location with a lot of stuff going on. Of course he's not moving about the city to enjoy himself and to just "take in" in the sights as it were. No, Bakugou is definitely sort of walking around with a purpose. It's like he is memorizing the layout of the city and mentally marking places of interest or of note in his head.

All the while sort of, you know, telling people that get too close to "screw off" and giving them glares to scare them away. Because that's kind of how he rolls.

Speaking of rolls... He might, in fact, stop in front of one of those bakeries. At least temporarily before trying to find something that might be a library. Something, anything that could give him information. All the while his phoenix flies overhead. ]

Get lost you damn turkey.

[ Maybe he should be nicer to her too... ]


( Wildcard! )

[ You know what to do here. Throw me something or ping me at jardaan @ plurk! ]

[did this

LITTLE MOTHERFUCKER

just throw a dirty towel in Zelgadis' face???

How dare????

He's known this kid for three seconds and he's already had enough of his nonsense. He plucks the towel from his own face and pitches it right back at the kid, after using his elemental magic to soak it with water. He can be a bit on the petty side but you know what, eat shit.]

[apshot]

[ And Katsuki is absolutely petty in return. He throws up a quick barrier and the towel hits it with a wet splat before landing on the floor. In a wet heap. ]

How original. A plus on the worst form of retaliation I've seen.

[heartlessswordsman]

Sure, whatever.

[Zelgadis isn't picking that up, fuck you kid. He has pictures to dust, or whatever the hell he was doing before this extremely unpleasant child had decided to start throwing shit around, so he turns around and gets back to work. It's whatever, man, he can set the kid on fire later or something.]

[apshot]

So you'll throw the thing back at me then just ignore me right after!?

[ Come on now. The whole point of him throwing it at the guy is to get him to actually pay attention! ]

[heartlessswordsman]

Why don't you make yourself useful and go scrub the bathroom.

[To answer his question, yes, that is pretty much exactly what Zelgadis is doing. He's used to dealing with some pretty fucking annoying people, so Dorkface over here is gonna have to try harder.]

[apshot]

Like hell I'm going to do all the work myself here.

[ Oh does he really have to try harder? ]

[heartlessswordsman]

[Yes. Yes he is.]

You're the one who decided I wasn't doing it right. Since you're so much better at cleaning, then it only makes sense to send someone with your superior skills to the most challenging parts of the house. Don't you think?

[Zel had been fully prepared to tackle the bathroom on his own but you know what, fuck you, kid.]

[apshot]

No. It means you better learn how to do it right if you want these assholes to be satisfied.

[ The Trolls. But also maybe because it might drive Katsuki a little nuts. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

And yet they haven't complained about my work any time they've come by to check it. You know, I doubt they'd take too kindly to being called assholes.

[He takes a quick look around, as though he were checking for said assholes, but really he doesn't give too much of a shit.]

[apshot]

Then they definitely don't know quality work either.

[ That's his opinion and he's going to stick to it. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

Their problem, not mine. I'm not going to sit here and complain if they're satisfied with the free work they're getting out of us.

[have your opinions, bro. Zel's opinion is that this is all just a gigantic waste of time, he could be doing something way more meaningful with his time. Like stabbing the trolls.]

[apshot]

It's bullshit, but it's not free.

[ They're gonna get the grass out of this one way or another. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

What it is is a waste of time. We'd probably get faster results if we just beat it out of them.

[He's not even joking. He might want to fight a troll.]

[apshot]

So ahead and do it then. I'll be sure to watch and start digging your grave shortly after.

[ He's not joking either. It's not like Bakugou disagrees. It's the opposite. There's just not much they can do for it. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

I am tempted. Would venting my frustrations be worth the trouble, though...

[He actually takes a little time to think this over, nodding when he makes up his mind.]

Yeah, this is fine. Make sure you bury me deep.

[Death by trolls is okay, he guesses.]

[apshot]

Six feet nice and proper.

[ Go on then. Go and engage with those Trolls and see what happens.

He'll probably be there to stop it too ]

[heartlessswordsman]

Excellent.

[Oh he GOES all right, he goes and he starts talking with the first troll he comes across, first asking how they like the progress everyone is making since he doesn't want to jump aggressive right off the bat if he doesn't have to. The troll seems pretty pleased so far, but they start rattling off another list of shit they want done, and it's about here that Zelgadis has had enough.]

We've been at this for hours, I think it's time that you started cooperating.

[The troll seems to disagree and attempts to shoo Zelgadis away. That's about when Zel pulls his sword out and starts to say something that was probably meant to sound cool, but that's about when the troll smacks him in the face with a large frying pan. Because they were just carrying that around for some reason I guess.

So this is going well.]

[apshot]

[ Okay so... Bakugou had actually meant to be sarcastic? He shouldn't have been taken seriously? Because come on. If they're all, like, relatively new to magic and shit then they really should take unnecessary risks. But this guy... THIS GUY-

Gets whacked with a frying pan. All Katsuki can do is watch. And blink.

Dumbass. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

[Zel may be a pretty intelligent guy, but sometimes the fact that he used to hang with a gang of impulsive morons shines through in instances like this. They've definitely rubbed off on him, here is the proof.

After taking a frying pan to the face, Zel decides that this isn't the hill that he wants to die on and sheaths his sword. He'll just take the L on this one and hobble his way back to his original position, resuming the cleaning job he'd been doing before. After stopping at a box of tissues so he can jam one up his nose beeeecause it's bleeding now. This is fine, he can deal with this.]

[apshot]

[ That sure lasted a grand total of a couple of minutes. Then Zel what? Just gives up? Well then. ]

Ah huh. You sure showed that Troll.

[heartlessswordsman]

[NYUUUPPppp Zel's just not feelin' it, man. It all just feels so pointless.]

Thank you, I appreciate the sarcasm.

[apshot]

And I'll provide it any time you need.

[ Bakugou is snickering. Good dude here, right? ]

[heartlessswordsman]

I'm sure you'll provide it even when I don't need it. Just the vibe I'm getting from you.

[A total douchelord, that kind of vibe

Also according to Chrome's spellcheck, douchelord is, in fact, a real word.]

[apshot]

[ Hmm... Well. ]

Probably.

[ A shrug! He's gonna go back to scrubbing now. ]

[heartlessswordsman]

[FAIR ENOUGH

Zelgadis is also going to go back to scrubbing. This sure is an exciting day cleaning a fucking TROLL HOUSE. Eventually, surely they've cleaned every goddamn thing, Zel looks like he wants to jump off a bridge.]

Is that it? Is there anything else?
