🧙 WHO: Izuku Midoriya & YOU!
⚔️ WHAT: Catch-all log for the month of March! Quests, open prompts and closed threads inside.
🕒 WHEN: All throughout March.
🗺️ WHERE: Camelot and surrounding areas.
⚠️ WARNINGS: tba.

[a: quest: run snaggle foot run]

[Snagglefoot Miffen is the name of the thief that has snatched up some precious gems from a local jewelry shop in Camelot. And if there is one thing that Izuku can’t tolerate as a student studying to be a hero? It’s crime, of course! When he had seen the task, he had signed up right away. Being away from his homeworld and his school hasn’t taken anything away from Izuku’s determination to be a hero and to help out whenever he can.

But this thief is chalking it up to be quite the challenge. A slippery fellow that once Izuku gets a single lead is off before Izuku can reach the next one. He’s been tracking the man through the streets as fast as he can, but the thief seems to be one step ahead of him so far. The next lead means he’ll be heading to the Red Springs Inn next. That means Izuku has to get there before he does.]

Alright, I’m not letting him get ahead of me this time. Even if I’m here... I still have to be. Plus Ultra!

[There is a flicker of magic as Izuku places his hands on a nearby tree. A flash and a bang later and the tree transmutes and grows into a twisted-looking wooden ladder with footholds and all. Izuku is then climbing up the ladder onto the roof of the nearby building and is then running and leaping from roof to roof. Better for the bird’s eye view and to get to the Red Spring Inn faster! Occasionally, only stopping to transmute more branches and tall hanging trees into planks to use as a jumping point to the next roof or ledge!

Witness his alchemy trick or help him out!]

[b: quest: farmers-r-us]

[Farming is still helping and Izuku is just glad that he can lend a hand. Alchemy magic also seems to be a good thing to have in this regard. He’s working with the local farmers with helping the new crops sprout. He’s slow at the work at first but he’s getting better at it bit by bit. And when he’s not helping with the crops himself he is also a healthy strong boy so moving supplies and hauling tools or crops is right up his alley too. The hard work feels nice!

What he doesn’t notice right away while he’s working is the small next of pixies that have seemed to have nested in a corner of the field he’s working in. One moment he is kneeling down to plant and work on some seedlings when his foot catches a part of the nest buried in the brush.]

Eh-??! [Whoosh!!

In an instant, the nest of pixies erupts like a swarm of bees flying around him in a pink and glittery haze! His hair flies up and sticks there as he blinks rapidly at the swarm whooshing all around him! He flails!]

Ah-!! Ack- AHHHHiiii!!

[How does he get the swarm of bees pixies to stop?! They’re starting to chant some sort of magic or charm and the air is starting to spark!]

[c: 🥦 broadsword shopping]

[Being in a fantasy world like this and without his usual quirk Izuku has realized he needs a way to keep up with combat and battle without being able to use his usual superpowers. Alchemy isn’t always a combat type of magic (or at least he hasn’t quite honed a way to use it in a combative way just yet) so he thinks with a weapon that it would be a good way to supplement his skills.

And who doesn’t want a big as heck sword to go with this entire fantasy world vibe?? Like right out of a JRPG!?

Izuku is browsing a local blacksmith and weapons store. Looking at a row of the broadswords that might fit his style and his grip. He’s never bought a sword before so he is a little out of his league right now but looking at the weapons is just … so freaking cool.]

Uaa... These swords are amazing! I can’t believe I’m really here and I can get one…!

[d: 🥦 alchemy studying]

[Izuku is still very new to alchemy but he is getting the hang of transmuting organic matter. Wood, plants and the like came to him easily enough. But with his classmates learning their own magic he does want to try and see if he can study enough to help them as well. With Katsuki and Tsuyu both using light magic, he has figured that the faster he learns how to change and manipulate glass, metal and precious stones? The better.

And that is where Izuku is right now. He’s sitting on a bench outside as he tinkers with a handful of copper pieces and a container full of sand. He’s currently trying to transmute the copper pieces into different shapes and later trying to change the sand into proper glass lenses.

Holding the piece of copper in his hand Izuku suddenly winces as his magic flashes and burns his skin. He drops the copper piece with a clatter! This is going to take some practice...]

If I can get copper and sand to work right... I can start making magnifying lenses...

[Izuku is starting to mutter to himself!]

[e: 🧭 wildcard]

[got something else? feel free to toss it down here! or contact me over here on the cr meme for some plotting! more than happy to make some closed starters as well!]

D is for Don't hurt yourself, Deku

[recommendations]

[ The best chance they all have of mastering their magic and working to help this world and return home, is if they work together. At least, that's what Momo thinks. So when Izuku asked her for help with his alchemy studies, of course she volunteered.

She's glad she did. He's got the right idea, but clearly the way he's going about it could use some... finesse. ]

Maybe, take up the copper again and try to do it without burning yourself this time.

[ It's a bit hypocritical of her, when she herself is having trouble conjuring flames without burning herself. But... Oh well, she's trying. ]

Picture in your mind the form you want the copper to take. Then bring that image into reality.

[fullgauntlet]

[He is absolutely thinking along the same lines as her. It's really great that they all have each other in this world. They all worked well together in class so why not here as well? It's all about teamwork making the dream work. Even Katsuki has been more cooperative lately!]

Right, magic isn't as literal as a quirk is. A lot of it is about picturing it in my mind, isn't it...? I'll try to make a thin square shape...

[Magic is a concept and alchemy is too. Luckily his magic really is similar to how Momo's quirk actually is. He holds the copper again and concentrates for a moment.]

Is that what you did when you used your quirk?

closed to katsuki bakugou

[fullgauntlet]

[This really is a repeat of the time that Izuku was trying to make sure Katsuki was able to train properly back in South Sister. Complete with the notebook in Izuku’s hand where he’s gotten right back into his habit of writing down way too many notes about every little thing. Except his notebook has things about alchemy and other magic things now. And he’s pretty sure he’s going to need way more notebooks. Eventually.

Where they meet is just an open enough area where Izuku can see some of Katsuki’s light magic. He’s already seen a fair amount of Tsuyu’s light magic be he’s almost certain there’s going to be differences between her and Katsuki.]

Kacchan!

[He greets with a short wave. He’s still trying to ignore the fact that they had a rather stressful quest down in the magical archivists’ library but still... They’ve got work to do. And that is what he’s going to focus on! Yeah!]

[apshot]

[ It's less stressful and more embarrassing. Awkward. They haven't talked about that much like they haven't talked about the reason they had gotten into it at that inn made of ice. Honestly it's starting to build up isn't it? An issue that at least Bakugou doesn't want to fully acknowledge that's there, but it's going to blow up eventually.

All of their stupid problems usually do.

That's neither here nor there today. It's another thing that Katsuki is using to push all of that down. Focus on this matter rather than the other one because he has control over this at least. He looks up from his hands as he sees the nerd trotting on over, looking way too excited.

Gross. ]

Do you really got to bring notebooks with you everywhere? I thought you wanted a demonstration, not an entire goddamn analysis.

C

[troubadamsel]

[ Maribelle is here more for researching than actually shopping, but that excited shout certainly gets her attention. ]

Hm? Is this... all new to you?

[fullgauntlet]

Eh?

[Izuku turns to her and nods sheepishly.]

Ah, I guess it's not entirely new. I've seen others use swords before. I've just never used one for myself. It's not exactly a common thing in my world either...

A

[fooligans]

[ As soon as Akira notices someone is jumping from one roof to another, he can't help recalling all these acrobatic he used to make in Metaverse. Then, he realizes that someone might be chasing that Snagglefoot Miffen guy he's been trying to track down as well.

With a little help of air magic, Akira manages to get up on one of the roofs and calls out to Izuku. ]

Hey, do you need a sidekick?

[ Not knowing what Izuku is doing exactly isn't enough to stop him. ]

[fullgauntlet]

Ah! A sidekick? Y-yeah!

[A SIDEKICK. Izuku can't help but feel a little flattered at a term like that being used for working with him. It's kind of a big deal for a hero student, after all.]

Are you trying to track down the jewellery thief too!? He's heading for the Red Spring Inn, we need to get there before he does!

A - WE COULD BE HEROES

[warbun]

[It took a bit, but Lizzie has finally figured out what her magic in this place is: kinetic. She's been told that includes the ability to fly, which is way too awesome not to laser-focus on as the first thing to master.

When she sees Izuku giving chase and run up to the rooftops in the distance, Lizzie is happy to tag in and help him. Backup in these kinds of situations is generally appreciated, and plus she likes the kid. It'll be nice to team up over something besides gaudy decorations and chocolate.

Lizzie takes to the sky in an effort to catch up to him.]

How much do you weigh?

[She promises there's a reason for the question.]

[fullgauntlet]

[While running across the rooftop he's not expecting to see her flying right overhead! Is she really flying? How is she doing that? Izuku suddenly has so many questions.]

Lizzie-san?!

[He hops from one ledge to the next but is still going! He has to keep his pace up! Crime doesn't wait!]

Ah- I'm just- over one hundred and twenty? Why? You can't mean...

[Does she mean what he thinks she means?]

[kiss_it_better]

[Chang Geng was visiting the local blacksmiths under the pretense of getting his sword looked at...he's not telling anyone the real reason he's been going around, asking questions and taking a look at the craftsmanship on display. In fact, with the way he's smiles politely it's hard to tell he has any ulterior motives.

He'd just entered when he noticed a young man (a child, really though Chang Geng mused that at twenty he himself was only a few years older, in truth).]

Are you looking to get your first sword?

[Chang Geng was still dressed like he walked out of a Chinese period drama with the long hair and sword to match...mostly because he had been travelling with enough clothes (read: two outfits) that spending money on more didn't seem like a priority when he could just wash one while wearing the other. At least he wasn't also travelling this time.]

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku looks over and immediately thinks that the man really is from some sort of period piece. Nothing like a Japanese one, though. He blinks and half wonders if he's a normal resident of this world or...]

Ah! I am-! ... I've never had one before! But it seems right to get one lately...

[But really he is just a sixteen-year-old kid with no idea what he should really get. Swords aren't really a big deal in his world at all. They're things from video games and fantasy comics. But honestly, that just makes Izuku want to get one even more. A really super big one.]

B for boy we sure got into Some Shit

[floatsaway]

[It seems Ochako had a similar idea to Deku for the quests for today. Helping out on the farm is simple enough, and some good training for Ochako as well. It's hard work, but also some good exercise as well, especially now that Ochako now longer has her quirk to help haul heavy things as easily. She needs to work on her muscle tone, and this is the best wat to go about it. She's got a large basket of husked corn she was carrying to the storehouse when she sees Deku off in the distance. Ochako was just about to say hello to her friend when she notices that he's being...attacked?

Oh shit, she has no idea what is attacking him, but makes an estimated guess at some sort of angry insect. Maybe he accidentally stepped on a buried hornet nest or something?! Regardless, Ochako drops the basket and hurries over toward her friend to try and help. Or at least grab him and try to run away - maybe take shelter in a barn house or even one of the animal pens until the swarm calms down.]

Deku-kun!! G-Guard your face, don't let them near your eyes! [The last thing he needs is to get a swollen eye or something worse...]

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku is really not helping in the meantime! He's flailing his arms in a wild motion as he tries to swat the pixies from his face! But if they actually take a second to observe the pixies it doesn't seem like they're physically trying to hurt Izuku it's more like they're trying to spook him instead. Or maybe they're not capable of causing physical harm!]

Ah-- Uraraka-san! Get- They! I think one's up my nose!!

[He quickly tries to block his face with the crook of his arm while also waving the other. At least they can speak to each other this time!]

What are they?! Gahh!!!

Broadsword shopping

[wherethewindtakesme]

I'm going to guess by the level of enthusiasm you have, this is your first time getting a weapon?

[Gaius had stopped by to get tools to help maintain the blades on his spear and had to see what Izuku was up to.]

Do you know what you want?

[fullgauntlet]

G-Gaius-san!

[He looks a bit embarrassed but Gaius was one of the main reasons why he thought he should have a weapon of his own here. After all, they did fight off a bunch of orcs together and Izuku only had a wooden shiv while Gaius used this giant spear... amazing.]

Yeah-! It's my first time looking for a weapon like this... I don't usually need something like a sword or spear. But this...? I think I'd like a broadsword?

[Help??]

C;

[eardrums]

Midoriya!

[Jiro had definitely heard he was here by now - it'd be hard not to, considering she's been trying to keep up with the other girls as much as she can - but she hadn't run into him herself, just yet... but by the way she sidles right up to him, it's clear she's glad she's finally gotten the chance!
This is just kind of a weird avenue for it. Mostly because, well -]

I had no idea you were into this kinda stuff. You looking to get one for yourself?
You fight with your fists more than anything else, don't you?

[fullgauntlet]

Jiro-san!

[He's so surprised and happy to see her! With so many of their classmates here it's easy to get lost in all the going-ons and he's glad to see her safe.

Izuku does smile with some embarrassment.]

Yeah... I was. I mean- Ahh... It seems like the sort of thing that we should do in a world like this one... Right?

[Because this nerd is thinking since they're in a fantasy-like world they might as well have the weapons to match! ...!]

And since we don't have our quirks... It's not as easy to use close combat all the time for me.

C

[feralhumanity]

[Izuku isn't the only one who is doing a little shopping these days. Nanaki is actually here to speak to the leatherworker here, but runs across the familiar green-haired boy along his errands. Seeing the young boy get excited over the swords makes Nanaki chuckle.]

Just be sure to pick one you can actually wield.

[fullgauntlet]

[He's always happy to see Nanaki-san. The other is a good quest-pal and has been reliable since day one. So he smiles sheepishly but happy when he sees him.]

Ahh... I think I can handle one of these ones! ... Or at least, I want to try it out...

[He wants to wield one as big as a buster sword, okay?? Izuku might look a little scrawny because of the loose clothing he wears but under it all he is fairly strong! Suprise nerd abs! Really!]

B

[bakudan_bambino]

[Gokudera isn't bad at manual labor, but he's not great at it, either. He knows this guy has been talking to his boss, because he's constantly keeping tabs on what Tsuna does, like the obsessive subordinate he is and that Midoriya has helped him out. The least he can do is provide some assistance to him. When the pixies start to get up and chant, Gokudera gives an undignified snarl and casts a barrier around Midoriya, like a giant bubble. Then, he's walking up and waving a hand before flicking it at the wrist. Suddenly those pixies get pulled down, as if a net has been thrown over them. There's certainly a bit of light against them, and they are mad.

The barrier around Midoriya drops, and Gokudera kneels to address the angry pinned swarm. He may be in some real trouble once he takes his light magic down.]

It was an accident. Let's be reasonable.

[Slowly, he lifts up a corner of the light-net.]

We can help you fix the nest?

[He offers, even though he had no hand in stepping on it.]

[fullgauntlet]

[The magic all happens in a flash! Izuku looks up and watches it happen with a spark of genuine interest and delight. Wow...!]

Amazing, Gokudera-san! ... You stopped them so quickly!

[And it's a good thing too. The swarm of the angry little creatures are all trying to squirm and get up from under the weight of the light magic. Tiny little squeaks of anger and annoyance! But luckily none of them actually seem hurt. Izuku does check his head for any injuries too. He seems fine! Maybe the fairies can't attack all that much!

He crouches down to the nest that he's stepped on...]

I really didn't mean to step on their home, it was so hard to see... There has to be a way for us to fix it.

B

[frogiveness]

[When she'd agreed to go out and do this, Tsu hadn't really expected...magic bee faeries to be on the menu. She's doing her best, and figuring it'll be fun, but the ruckus coming from Izuku's corner of the workspace is difficult to miss.

She straightens, gawking for a moment. But, okay, they seem like they're going to zap him? That's not good!]

Midoriya-kun, run to me!

[fullgauntlet]

[He was really into this for the easy and rewarding work! Farming is good honest work and it's helpful to so many avenues! But he really wasn't expecting for his day to be literally filled with a swarm of angry fairies either.

He hears her and he isn't one to back down from a hand of help. He ducks his head and starts to run for her.]

Tsu-chan! Be careful! ... I don't know what they can do! Duck! Or we got to hide! ... Ahhh-! Or something!!

[He's sprinting towards her quickly as the horde of purple follows with a big sparkling whoosh!]

D

[facepalmchampion]

He knew it. He saw the floaty chick that almost beat Bakugo, and should have if she had been a little smarter, and of course he had already found Bakugo on his own, too. It only made sense there was more of them skulking around here, too.

Lurking is a skill that he has had ever since he could care to remember and so had implemented it to its fullest extent. That meant standing afar to watch in his peripheral vision from his vantage point. Really, maybe he should just go over and-- or.

Or. He could play an even more fun game than he had in mind. Would it be worth the energy? Probably not. Would it be worth it to see the look on this brat's face? Probably. Maybe. The inner war on if it would or wouldn't didn't last and with all the concern of someone sitting next to another on the bus, he sat himself down unceremoniously and slouched next to Deku on the bench. "Alchemy?" Maybe, since he had seen some people talking about it, even if he had kept mostly to himself. "Or something else?"

[fullgauntlet]

[He's just sitting here and minding his own business making copper shapes when the bench is suddenly occupied with another occupant. But somehow that same sort of dread whips right up his spine since the first time this happened to him. When the same creepy presence had leaned into him at the Mall all that time ago.]

...?

[His body freezes and tenses almost as if he's ready to break into a fight almost immediately. His fists clench and he turns to look at ... him. Tomura Shigaraki.]

You!?

[It takes almost all of him to not just throw a punch right away, first giving into his shock. The danger sitting right next to him... Is this real? This can't be happening.]

B:

[beautyrest]

[Before the pixies can get TOO agitated, there is a loud SCREECH from a giant owl as it circles once above their, and Izuku's head. Shortly thereafter, singing fills the air alongside a scent of something sweet, honey and milk, to be precise as Aurora sings out to them.

The pixies seem to be torn between attacking Izuku and going for the offering Aurora has out for them and heading towards the sweet sound of her voice.

At least SOME of them, though, have decided milk and honey is way more worth it than some random boy and fly towards the offering and her song. As they fly and land, some mushrooms grow, forming the beginnings of a faerie ring.]

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku jumps on the spot! Not only was he not expecting a horde of pixies to come at him and try to use his hair as a new nest but he wasn't expecting them to bolt away at the sound of some really nice sounding song...? Izuku jumps and comically throws his hands in the air before staring at the gathering of pixies around what appears to be a girl and a milk and honey treat?]

You- eh? What's going on...?

[He should be super thankful that the pixies aren't attacking him! They are much more preoccupied with what the girl seems to be doing.]

Is that... magic that you're using? That's... You saved me!

[fullgauntlet]

[It's only roughly a week after the Spring Equinox festivities that Izuku finally tracks down and finalizes the rental on the house that is picked out. It took some time because of the festivities and various quests along the way but he is more than happy to be out of the Inn and walking up the path to a place that he can call his own. Or- his and Katsuki's. That thought is still a little new and odd in his brain. But stepping up to stop next to the blond as they look at the front door, boxes in hand... Yeah- This is somehow happening.]

Well... This is it. I think it'll work well, Kacchan.

[The house is on the smaller side. With two bedrooms and one of those bedrooms being a loft on the second floor. It even has a fireplace and enough natural light with the big windows. He didn't want to pick anything too flashy. Something small and easy to manage and clean but with a big enough kitchen for Katsuki to be content with...

He's still nervous as high heck if Katsuki actually thinks it's suitable enough or not but there's no turning back now.]

CLOSED TO KACCHAN KACCHAN **KACCHAN**

[apshot]

[ He's still unsure why he has agreed to this whole living together thing. It is convenient, since he's still cooking for the both of them anyway. Might help him keep a better eye on the nerd too. Especially since that asshole Shiragaki's here. Just because the guy also doesn't have his Quirk doesn't mean that shit's not dangerous. That Deku seeing him wouldn't cause... ]

Ah. At least it will keep your alchemy shit contained. Just remember our agreement.

[ Izuku might have a lot of crap, but Katsuki doesn't. Maybe now that there's an actual place to live he'll be able to acquire more than just clothing.

But he had helped Deku pick this place out. That's why he had told him to call the blonde so it could be selected together. Still weird to think about all of the shit that they are doing together. ]

At least it's away from the annoying extras.
