🕒 WHEN: All throughout March.

[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!]

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!

[beautyrest]

[Aurora's singing, as it tended to, summoned animals to her as well birds and rabbits and squirrels and even a badger made their way to them, but the pixies were all quite content to ignore the animals while a mushroom ring formed in front of Aurora as they ate and drank. She let the song come to a natural end and stepped around the ring, coming over to Izuku as her owl landed on her shoulder. The animals she summoned, for their part, were waiting their turn for the milk and honey.]

It was nothing, I thought you could use the help is all. Are you alright?

[fullgauntlet]

[Don't mind as Izuku looks a little awestruck. If this is animal magic of some sort this is the first time that Izuku has seen it. And if it's not animal magic then she has some sort of talent that could rival a classmate's quirk. It's kind of amazing.]

I- ... Thank you! I'm alright! I was just working on this part of the field and somehow my foot caught the corner of their nest and... This is all my fault.

[He glances over his shoulder at the broken-up nest.]

I should do something to fix this... Ahh...

[beautyrest]

[It's a bit of both, honestly. Her familiar moves to sit on her shoulder, gazing at Izuku with bright, orange eyes. If it feels like he's being judged it's because the owl is doing exactly that.]

An accident, but it is good that you wish to fix it. We can ask how the pixies would like it fixed, it is never good to assume with the fae.

[fullgauntlet]

[He definitely sweatdrops a bit under the owls scrutiny. ... What a powerful gaze!]

I'd like to fix it... But- how do we... ask?

[Communication with the fae?? How??]

[beautyrest]

[She gently pats Vivek's tummy.] Vivek will help translate. Although I can try as well, I suppose. I did speak to some mythical creatures back home. [And ya know, lived with them. But pixies and faeries are not the same thing sometimes.]

[fullgauntlet]

I see...! If there's anything else I can do to help-

[Izuku smiles, looking curious how this might work. That owl is still so huge...

Meanwhile, Izuku's own familiar, a small white goat, who has been grazing in the hay nearby seems to perk up in interest and starts to wander over. But it stops right next to Izuku's heel and stares at the owl... With big, unsure eyes. Like it thinks it might be snatched up it if moves another muscle.]

Eh? Are you alright? What's wrong?

[Izuku leans down to even pick the goat up but it suddenly scampers behind Izuku's legs!]

[beautyrest]

I'm sure there is plenty you can do, dear. We can always fix a problem, especially one who is so eager to help.

What a cute little goat. Hello there little one, what is your name, hmm? [Aurora crouched down to get closer to the goat. Unfortunately, that meant the GIANT owl was also now closer.]

Actually, I realize I have been unkind and have not asked the same question of you. [Aurora stood up straight.]

[fullgauntlet]

[The little goat seems to let out a tiny little bleeeep!! and tucks even closer behind Izuku's legs. He quickly frets and bends down to scoop the little goat up in his arms with a huff.]

It's okay, I don't think her owl is going to try and do anything to you.

[Izuku sweatdrops as he tries to reassure the little huffing goat.]

... If- If I'm being honest... I haven't given him a name yet. I wasn't sure what to go with and I wanted something that fit him.

[Kind of shameful he's had the goat for like a month now-]

Ah... I'm Izuku Midoriya!

[beautyrest]

Oh no, not at all. You're much too large for Vivek to eat, darling. [Just to confirm her statement, Vivek nodded in agreement. And honestly, she's trying to be reassuring, look, her BEST FRIENDS were squirrels and birds and chipmunks and ANOTHER owl among all the other animals. She's not going to sugarcoat that eating is a THING.

Vivek for his part merely turns his head backward to keep an eye on the pixies.

When Izuku mentions that the goat did not have a name, she tilted her head.]

Well, no time like the present, Izuku. [Aurora doesn't do last names, sorry, Izuku.]

[fullgauntlet]

[Even Izuku has to look at the owl with just a little bit of skepticism. Her owl is just that huge and his small goat is just so tiny that maybe it could swallow it up in one gulp if it wanted to- But maybe she's right! Maybe his familiar is too big! That attempt at being reassuring is nice.]

See-? It's going to be alright, so you don't have to be scared...

[He hopes. But the little goat does let out another bleep and settles into some ease in his arms.]

... But I guess I should give him a name. I'm not really sure where to start. Maybe something like... Toshinori?

[Which is the last name of this most favourite hero in the world but she doesn't need to know that!]

[beautyrest]

Absolutely, no reason to be scared at all, I would never let Viviek harm a cute little kid like you.

And what does Toshinori mean?

[fullgauntlet]

[Get it? A little kid like you? Izuku pokes his goat in the belly. It bleeps again and settles to snuggle into Izuku's arms.]

Haha... Thanks. And Toshinori is... It's the family name of my favourite hero back home. Yagi Toshinori. Or his hero name, All Might!

[... How nerdy.]

[beautyrest]

I see, well, does your little goat like it? It is, after all, to be his name.

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku looks down at his goat in his arms and the little one does seem to wiggle and bleat curiously.]

Ah, he doesn't talk like some familiars do.

[He gives the goat a small pet to his belly and he bleats again as if to say he's about fifty-fifty on the idea.]

Toshi-kun would be a nice nickname.

[And that seems to have the goat let out a louder bleat in delight!]

[beautyrest]

Perhaps not, but I imagine he still has an opinion on matters. Every creature has feelings and a personality unique unto themselves. You can still ask him his opinion. It is, after all, his name.

But, he does seem pleased by the nickname.

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku smiles.]

He does seem okay with it.

[But better to be sure since it's true that these creatures are more than just pets.]

Do you like it? Or would you want something else?

[The goat makes another happy little noise like he doesn't mind! Or perhaps he's just happy to have a name.]

[beautyrest]

So if his name is Toshinori, shall he share your family name?

[fullgauntlet]

Toshinori Midoriya...? [He looks embarrassed but kind of happy.] Y-yeah... Maybe he would.

[beautyrest]

Now then, name settled, let us address the issue of the pixie's home, shall we? It still needs to be fixed.

[fullgauntlet]

That's right. We should get it fixed as soon as we can. How should we start...

[beautyrest]

What powers do you have, dear?

[fullgauntlet]

[He's maybe just a tiny bit embarrassed to be called dear. A sheepish smile appearing on his lips.]

I can use alchemy, I think I can use a good portion of it to rebuild parts of the nest with what I broke. But I think it'll need some extra help with getting it put back together. Do you think you could gather some flowers up?

[He's going to fix what he did!]

[beautyrest]

Yes, I imagine I am able to do something like that. Which flowers would you like?
