[open] what am I to be what is my calling!

🧙 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!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[When it comes down to it, even with the little arguments or the things they don't agree on...? He's actually really happy this is happening. Sharing a place with Katsuki makes it feel like they're really getting along. Friends, even.

... Maybe something more- ... No- Probably not good to let his brain go off in that direction. Again.

Even if these little moments make his chest pinch.

He quickly takes a few deep breathes and stretches out his hand (maybe he will look into the grip issue...) and once his books are finished with he goes back to the bit of clothing he has goes to hang them up.]

[ Katsuki himself has mixed emotions about all of this. On one hand, it does alleviate some of his concerns. Especially with that bastard running around. Katsuki can definitely keep a better eye on Izuku this way.

But being in such a small space with him... Something about that also just makes his anxiety spike. Like he's going to get caught with his hand in the cookie jar or get in trouble. Or be exposed? Maybe that's the correct word. But why should he feel something like that? ]

How did you manage to get so much shit already...

[This time when Katsuki returns there seems to be a small goat following at Katsuki's heel. Where did he come from? Probably doesn't matter much. He's following Katsuki's heel and sits next to Katsuki's foot where Katsuki might stop.

Izuku looks down at his familiar ... And frowns. Because he knows that the goat is only doing that because of Izuku's own feelings.]

Ah- I ...

[He shoves his cloak into the closet roughly.]

There were a lot of books I wanted to read. On top of the basic alchemy kits that were given out, the materials I've been working on, the history I wanted to go over about this world, my things from South Sister and my new sword... It all started to pile up, I guess?

[ Katsuki catches the frown. Not really sure where it's aimed at. Though he does look at the goat that just seems to... Like him? Follow him around? He's not sure what that thing is doing either. Oh well. Whatever. He's not going to do anything to it just yet. ]

How many basic alchemy kits do you even need?

[ Oh god. Is Deku a reckless spender? Is that something that Katsuki is going to have to watch too? ]

[He might not be the best with his money but he's not terrible-]

I only got two of them! It's better to have a back up incase I use up the first one!

[Or ruin it-

And he's just going to ignore his goat for now. Who is sitting there next to Katsuki's foot. Looking up at him. Fondly.]

Edited 2021-04-01 21:21 (UTC)

[ Unfortunately... The goat is not going to be ignored. That creepy vacant look is really starting to- ]

The hell is wrong with your familiar?

[ Grate on his nerves. It's creepy! Also it kind of reminds him of how Deku looks at him sometimes? ]

Nothing! Nothing-

[Izuku immediately shoots forward and scoops up his goat into his arms which makes the familiar make a bleating noise.]

I think he just... [sdjkfhdfgd] He likes you or something.

[ You are sure quick there to move, Deku. It makes Katsuki pretty damn suspicious.

Right up until that last part. Likes... Him? ]

Ha?

[ Does not compute? ]

[Izuku quickly straightens his shoulders!]

It's nothing, like I said!

[Just going to mechanically turn away from Katsuki and pretend he's doing something else! But the goat bleats and starts crying unhappily! He doesn't wanna be in Izuku's arms! He wants Kacchan!!!]

H-hey! Stop crying...??

[ That reaction... It's definitely not nothing! Bakugou knows better than that. It's something, all right. Deku just doesn't want to say for some reason. Nervousness. Embarrassment. Yeah, that's definitely what it is and Katsuki has half a mind to call him out on it.

But there's one problem - ]

Can't you shut that thing up!? Keep it under control!?

[ He's giving Izuku a shove now. Just going to snatch up that goat right out of those hands. ]

Now you listen to me, fleabag. If you don't shut up Imma kill you. Use your fleece for a fucking hand towel!

Hey- Kacchan, stop it! You don't have to handle him roughly!

[Izuku almost grabs for his goat back, not wanting Katsuki to take it too far or scare the familiar with his general attitude! He almost grabs for the goat back!

But just as he almost does the goat seems to let out another little happy bleating noise as soon as it's in Katsuki's grip. Its crying stops! And it's almost like there are little hearts fluttering off the goat??]

He's not a flea bag, Kacchan.

[... But he is a little betrayer.]

I AIN'T HANDLING HIM ROUGHLY.

[ He hasn't even done anything to the damned thing! ...Yet. Katsuki is going to yank the goat out of reach when. It stops. Fussing. If anything it seems to be perfectly happy being manhandled? Katsuki is absolutely stumped by this behavior. Is it really so damn happy? ]

Deku. Your goat is brain damaged.

[Izuku frets and with his goat out of his reach all he can do is have an inner panic attack that the goat looks so freaking happy to be right there in Katuski's high grip... The little white goat looks absolutely pleased to be right there. It lets out a happy little coo and it absolutely embarrasses Izuku too. What is even happening!]

He's not! There's nothing wrong with him!

[Izuku rubs his hair and holds his hands out afterwards.]

I- guess maybe he's just happy that you're living here? Or- or something... Just give him back.

[ There is something up with the goat. It's obvious and Deku knows what's going on with it. Why else would he be so hyper and wanting the thing back after scowling at it like he had? No, something is amiss here. Something isn't right.

Deku is definitely trying to hide something... ]

Nah.

[ Then in the next instant he is tucking that goat under his arm and taking off up the stairs into the loft. To organize this things! ]

Kacchan! ...

[Is he just stealing his goat?!?! Izuku looks on helplessly as he just leaves?!

... Izuku's cheeks are red. He sighs and sits down on his bed. But all this- This is kind of nice. In a weird way. But then he realizes and calls out!]

Do you want help with your things?!

[Even if Katsuki doesn't have much?!]

[ That's right, shitty Deku. Fucking suffer. If his familiar likes Deku more than Katsuki, then it's only fair that the goat likes him, right?

He's even somewhat snickering out in the main living room. ]

Haa? Why would I need your help, when I have this stinky snowball to help me instead!?

[Izuku peeks his head out of his room with a huff. He wants to argue so he mutters,]

It's not like he can do much to help you-

[But he blinks as he sees Ruby perched on the back of the couch in the main living area there. She's preening her wing and seems to be enjoying the noise going on in the new home. She flutters her feathers and Izuku comes over her to her with a smile.]

It would be my luck my familiar likes him so much, ne... [He reaches out to give her a gentle pet and she coos happily, pressing up into his hand.] At least I've got you.

Ain't he just like you when we were brats? Following me around thinking "Kacchan Kacchan! Kacchan is so great! You're my hero, Kacchan!"

[ Okay maybe that last part might have slipped out. He hadn't thought to actually bring up their conversations in the dream pods! It just... Rolled off his tongue before he can think! ]

Tch! All I'm saying is that I don't see any difference between the two of you!

[ But then eyes fall on his own damn bird and how she interacts with Deku. What the hell. Ruby isn't that nice to him! She listens when she feels like it and is definitely a handy partner but!

Wait. Why does that matter!? It's not like he wants all these familiars around!? ]

...Ain't this some shit.

[He would have blushed hard at that point-! Maybe yelped at Katsuki about it, that he isn't like a goat!? He loves his goat, he does. But he can't really help with moving boxes or putting stuff away, that's all!?

... But he is safely distracted by the way the phoenix starts to coo and preens at him, fluttering her wings and perching upon his shoulder to give him a nuzzle with her beak.]

There's a big difference between me and him, right? [Izuku chuckles as he scratches her feathers gently.] You like me, don't you...

I'm right here! DON'T TALK ABOUT ME LIKE I'M GONE!

[ Because Deku is talking to Ruby, right? His words aren't. Um. Directed at Katsuki? Well he hopes not because he wouldn't answer them anyway!

The little goat wiggles some more, but that's because he wants attention too! Stop holding him at your hip, Katsuki! ]

Think your familiar is finally getting jealous!

[ But... Not of Ruby. Just that she is getting such nice attention! ]

[That shout does snap Izuku back in place! He winces lightly and then opens his eyes and looks up at Katsuki up on the loft and he just-

Starts laughing. Izuku's laughing with some amusement, cheeks pink.]

S-sorry, Kacchan! Haha- It's just ... [This is too funny.] I guess we've swapped familiars for now.

[ Why is that so fucking funny!? Bakugou doesn't get it at all. Familiar swap? HE DOESN'T WANT TO ACTUALLY BE STUCK WITH THIS GOAT! ]

Oi! Stop squirming or Imma drop you!

[ Is that bluff or not? Goat-chan doesn't rightfully know! ]

Speaking of... What are we gonna do with these things?

[Because it's just funny. Izuku feels like he can really laugh at the reverse situation. His laughter pitters off and he smiles with a small shrug.]

They belong to us so I think we'll just have to live with them too. We should get them some of their own things? I don't think they'll stick to us like this forever, either.

[He gives Ruby another gentle scritch.] You still love Kacchan, ne?

[And she lets out a small coo as she agrees.]

[ Augh... That laughter just makes something weird wiggle around in his stomach. Just like those shitty smiles that make him all tense. Goat-chan seems to understand what's going on here, letting out a bleating sound to let Katsuki know that he's still here? ]

So like a perch for her and a bed for Snowball here?

[ Now he lifts the goat again to look at him. ]
