🧙 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!]

[ 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.

[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?

[ Wait, this is Katsuki's idea of cooperative?

...Never mind. ]

It was, at first. That was how I learned to use my quirk when I was young. It's like any muscle movement. When you're learning to walk, you think, "One foot in front of the other." But once you've done it enough, you move without thinking.

[Yelling at everyone for help with laserbeams??? Absolutely!]

Ah, that makes sense! I hope I can get to that point with alchemy too.

[So, thinking one foot in front of another first! Izuku looks down at his palms as the copper starts to manipulate again. But for some reason, he keeps heating it too much. He manages not to burn himself this time but it's still more of a mishappen triangle... Hmm.]

[ Momo leans in to observe the result of Izuku's attempt, frowning thoughtfully. It's not exactly the same as her Creation, but she's able to apply some of the same principles. ]

The copper is undergoing a chemical transformation when you transmute it. The atoms get excited, and release energy, causing the copper to heat up. If you try to shape it more slowly, you might be able to prevent it from overheating.

Aha... Right. Alchemy is partly a chemical transformation as well... If I can slow down the process of atoms changing shape...

[He can't help the bit of nervous sweat he breaks into. Mastering a new skill like this is something else. He's nervous and excited at the same time! Trying with the next piece Izuku once again tries to shape the copper into a square. But this time trying to slow down the process.]

Eh? I think it's working-! If I can get this right then we can start brainstorming for Kacchan and Tsu-chan and-

[Crackle! Snap! ... Pop!]

Eh? Ehh??

[The copper starts to bubble and pop in Izuku's hand and then suddenly shoots out of his hand like a piece of shrapnel! Watch out, Momo!!]

Ahh!!?

[ Instinctively, Momo raises her arms to block her face. This would be when she creates a shield out of her forearm to protect her and--

--nope, no chance of a shield. The glowing hot metal smacks into Momo's wrist and then drops onto the table, still bubbling and popping. Momo winces and grits her teeth. The contact was brief, but long enough for the burned area to sting a bit. She rubs at the spot, taking a deep breath to try to calm her racing heart. ]

Maybe... Let's not get ahead of ourselves. One thing at a time, yes?

[As the copper clatters to the ground Izuku snaps up from his seat.]

Ahh- I'm sorry! I didn't think it would shoot off in any direction like that! Are- Are you okay?!

[He feels like crap for hitting her with the copper piece (but also what if that can be used in combat someday later down the road) and he bows his head quickly.]

I'm trying really hard to learn all of this as fast as I can.

[And maybe that's part of the problem!]

[ Momo lifts her other hand from her wrist, and peers down at the red mark left by the copper. It stings, still, but it's not anything serious. She offers Izuku an understanding, and forgiving, smile. ]

I know that is your typical approach, Midoriya-san, but perhaps just this once it might be better to be methodical?

[Izuku furrows his eyebrows and then looks down. A small awkward sigh on his lips as he still feels that sting of guilt for hitting her with the copper. The last thing he wants to do is hurt his classmates.]

S-sorry... I guess... I'm just getting ahead of myself again.

[It's hard for him to hold back. He wants to do this quickly as possible. He wants to keep up with the others, prove that magic is something he can keep up with too and that... He's not powerless again. It's a bit of a slip.]

I'll slow down. It's one step in front of the other first... Like you said.

[ She nods, glad that he sees the reason in her argument. She knew he would, but she's glad he came around to it quickly.

She reaches over to pick up the piece of misshapen copper from where it had landed, now cool to the touch once more, and holds it out for Izuku to take. ]

First, shape the copper. Then we can think about helping our friends.

[He takes the copper piece with a nod. He feels really blessed to be able to have a good handful of his classmates here. For things like this it's really important that they support each other, he thinks. As much as he wants to get better at this faster... He won't be able to help anyone if he rushes and gets it all wrong.

He takes a deep breath even if it is a little shaky and then closes his hands over the copper.]

Alright... Hold on.

[With some better focus Izuku thinks only of the copper piece and changing the shape of it. That's all he needs to do right now. There is a small flicker of magic and when he opens his hands he's made the correct shape! Banzai!]

I- I did it! It worked! The copper changed!
