[open] what am I to be what is my calling!
š§ WHO: Izuku Midoriya & YOU!
āļø WHAT: Catch-all log for the month of March! Quests, open prompts and closed threads inside.
š WHEN: All throughout March.
šŗļø WHERE: Camelot and surrounding areas.
ā ļø 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 canāt tolerate as a student studying to be a hero? Itās crime, of course! When he had seen the task, he had signed up right away. Being away from his homeworld and his school hasnāt taken anything away from Izukuās 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. Heās 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 heāll be heading to the Red Springs Inn next. That means Izuku has to get there before he does.]
Alright, Iām not letting him get ahead of me this time. Even if Iām 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 birdās 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. Heās working with the local farmers with helping the new crops sprout. Heās slow at the work at first but heās getting better at it bit by bit. And when heās 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 doesnāt notice right away while heās working is the small next of pixies that have seemed to have nested in a corner of the field heās 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 ofbees pixies to stop?! Theyāre starting to chant some sort of magic or charm and the air is starting to spark!]
[c: š„¦ 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 isnāt always a combat type of magic (or at least he hasnāt 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 doesnāt 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. Heās never bought a sword before so he is a little out of his league right now but looking at the weapons is just ā¦ so freaking cool.]
Uaa... These swords are amazing! I canāt believe Iām really here and I can get oneā¦!
[d: š„¦ 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. Heās sitting on a bench outside as he tinkers with a handful of copper pieces and a container full of sand. Heās 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: š§ 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!]

[... Izuki's face is going to get redder. He really was hoping that Gaius wouldn't notice his little slip-up. It's like calling someone your dad when you barely know them...]
It's ... It's Japanese honorifics. In my language, you add certain ones to names for respect and to be polite...
no subject
[An actual joke from Gaius? Maybe.]
So, san is just being polite. Is...sen-say just another way of being polite? Am I being rude if I don't use them for you?
no subject
[That deflates Izuku's awkwardness and he lets out a laugh.]
I guess- it is! It's not rude if you don't use them. -San is usually meant for someone who might be just a little older or an adult. Like... ahh... [The English!] Mister or Miss. And sensei is... it's ... the respectful honorific for a teacher...
no subject
He beams down at Izuku.]
We call all our teachers Instructors. But I like sensei. I am teaching you something so it works.
You don't have to use it, but if it actually makes you feel more comfortable, you can. But you also asked me how using a spear is different from using a sword. So that's probably worth a demonstration, right?
no subject
[He flusters with embarrassment...!!]
I guess the right way to call you sensei would be... ahh... Worzel-sensei?
[He shakes his hands in front of him! And then quickly bows his head.]
But Gaius is fine! I'm sorry! I'd still like to see you use your spear!
no subject
[Just to help Izuku feel more at ease? Especially since he seems to enjoy learning from teachers?]
Well, with a spear, people in large scale battles often used them for distance to attack people and horses. The kind I have could be used for that, but it's mostly for trying to pierce. It's an application of force and the area that concentrates that force.
[He slides his spear until he's gripping it right behind the bladed crossguard.]
The amount of area that I have to attack with is a lot smaller than your broadsword. I don't know how much smaller, but even looking at it, you can tell. With a sword, you can swipe away and cause gashes. With a spear, it's all thrusting into vulnerable areas and causing the maximum damage possible, because of the force of how you're pushing behind it and the several feet of pole. It's a good weapon for hunting and especially good for fighting on horseback.
But the downside is a spear can break easier than a sword and if I miss someone, it takes me longer to recover and get back into position because this is even heavier than a sword and the balance takes a lot of getting used to.
no subject
That- If that's okay. Sensei...!
[And he does remember when he and Gaius had faced down a group of blood-thirsty orcs. Gaius had used his spear in a very skillful way. Maximizing that damage and controlling his reach and speed.]
I- I've never ridden a horse myself before. But I wonder if I should try using a spear sometime too. I wouldn't mind trying a few different weapons out. But using a sword... I think I'll start with that first.
[Gaius makes it sound really interesting, he wishes he could write all of this down!]
no subject
I can help with sparring, but you'll probably need to find someone else with using a sword. If I run into anyone like that, I'll let you know.
What I can really teach you about is horseback riding. Our tribe relies on horses to get around the highlands where I'm from. So I'd be more than happy to help you learn to love horses as much as I do.
[Besides, he has a feeling that Izuku could grow to be quite the fearsome fighter. Helping him learn more skills would help him grow and help Gaius grow.]
no subject
... It really feels like I'm living in a video game right now.
[Izuku lets out a small laugh then smiles.]
Thank you, G-Gaius-sensei. [That still makes him blush.] I wouldn't mind learning about horseback riding as well, it seems like that's the best way to get around in this city?
no subject
It really is. Learning to ride and care for horses seems essential. I would be happy to teach that to you as well.
But let's concentrate on getting you the best broadsword. Then we can practice and have lunch if you want.
no subject
[He smiles gratefully. He really is blessed to find someone as willing and patient at Gaius for this.]
Thanks again, Gaius-sensei!
[It does have a nice ring to it. And off they go with the rest of their afternoon.]
