[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!]

[He wants to follow his gut. That somehow Shigaraki is bluffing and putting up a front about not recognizing him. But how can he be so sure of that since the last time he saw the man it was in the hands of his villains as they escaped. Togata-senpai just barely arriving in time to help them turn the tides and...

He remembers seeing Shigaraki's face. That moment of clarity inside of Izuku started to form at that very moment...

But what happened after that? Would it be true that Shigaraki can't remember? He can't be sure. So he's not letting his guard down. He can't afford that. Not when he has important people here.]

You're ... you're not wrong about that. We know each other.

[Deeper than they really should, that clashing of their inherited quirks.]

But if that familiarity is all you can tell- There's not much else I can tell you. We're both stranded in this world. That's all there is to it.

[facepalmchampion]

Deku had always been a smart person, or at least an aware one in situations where he had to be. Capable of pulling knowledge about his opponent which was evident in the UA Sports Festival despite being inferior to a great many of his opponents because of his strong point. The strong point that was also the weak point, some sort of heroic compassion or what he thought was how a hero was compassionate. He could see it even now and had seen it in a great many people turned villain because of it.

That they knew each other, even if he wasn't pretending to have forgotten his time as a villain, was an understatement and one that he would have to relieve the tension of the statement later. "Those are obvious things." he related easily enough, turning back around to face him with shoulders squared off. "That's level one tutorial level stuff. I saw the look on your face, and I saw your clenched fists. That's a good place to start. Then again, either tell me or don't, I don't have time to waste on people not willing to lend a hand."

[fullgauntlet]

[There's that same sort of chill that goes up to his spine when Shigaraki speaks. That dread in his lungs when he thinks of the future he still has yet to face. What would Katsuki say right now at a time like this...?]

Then I don't have time to waste either.

[He clenches his teeth. He needs to think- He needs time to think. The lack of their quirks helps him buy this time. How odd is that.]

If what you're saying is true, then try and take care of yourself. That's all I can say to you.

You see nothing shhhhhhhhh

[facepalmchampion]

Maybe Katsuki didn't have all the answers as Shigaraki's brow raised and the tilt of his head created the perfect place for one of his eyes through the light hair that usually sat in front of the red, piercing stare behind it. That was what he thought. Either this really was how the creation and prodigy of All Might acted when things were said and done, or he knew what hell he was about to be put through by Shigaraki and the hell that would follow it just like him.

Was it a good idea to let go of the preface or not? He wasn't certain and as he shifted his hands into the pocket at the front of his sweater, his head flicked back to rid himself of more of the hair in front of his eyes. Looking clearly at Izuku with no hesitation to lock their train of view. "You really don't want me here, do you? You can hardly stand the sight of me and all you can say when I'm asking is "Try and take care"?"

A smile pulled lightly across his lips, the dry skin easier to see in its cover over his lips and around them. "You don't need to worry about me. I've already proven to myself I'm as dangerous as I need to be to anyone who's come up to threaten me. So." A shrugged shoulder punctuated his silence. "I guess we have little more to say here other than letting you posture with your knowledge and not so subtle attitude. Someone as small as you, with views as small as that? I don't need your help. Are we done or is it safe for me to turn my back?"

He knew it was. The likelihood of an attack here was ridiculous because neither of them knew the strength of their abilities. However, hand to hand wasn't a gentle touch or two either should they move in to that.

[fullgauntlet]

[It's that sharp look in Shigaraki's eye that has Izuku tensing. He almost clenches his fists again. Almost gets ready to pounce on the man and fight him until someone- something- submits. In his heart, he knows that a man as dangerous as Shigaraki shouldn't be allowed to just walk around. In any world. But The part of his heart that had realized that maybe there is something more to Shigaraki than most people think is the thing that makes Izuku's ears ring with a high-pitched noise in his head.

If only he had the voices of his predecessors here to help him now. What would they say?

And for all the things that Shigaraki says to him right now Izuku really almost takes it all to heart and throws himself at the man. Almost. But he doesn't. Not after everything he's been through and what he's talked to Katsuki about in passing.

This isn't the time- they're not ready.]

You can say what you want to me, it doesn't change what the truth actually is. There is something that we both know about each other- And something that isn't resolved either. I think you know that. If you want to call yourself dangerous or not is your own words, not mine.

[His expression changes, softens. That crossed tension is still in his heart but...]

And if you pick to act on your own words, just know I won't stand around for that. So turn your back if you want to.

[facepalmchampion]

There was an easy go of talking to someone who could only suspect that you were lying. It made their answers so much more honest in his opinion. For just a moment he cracked a smirk on his lips when his own words were thrown up against him and that threat stood at his doorstep pretending that it wasn't.

"If only I was afraid of you and you didn't sound like a petulant child..." He raised his hand and waved once his back was turned walking on his way. He had all the information he came for and even more than what he thought he needed. There were new things to try to think through and new goals to reach. Then should he decide to act on it, Deku and all kings horses and all the kings men wouldn't be putting it back together again.

[fullgauntlet]

[Petulant child... What a low blow. Izuku continues to frown.

But he does let the man walk away. While his fists clench tightly and he has to fight with the self-righteous part of himself that says he shouldn't let him walk away. But that small part of him that wonders about Shigaraki. What's behind it all, really...

Once the man is gone Izuku will head away himself. More than likely to try and stew and think through these feelings.]
