🧙 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!]

Comments

[apshot]

[ 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?

[fullgauntlet]

[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.]

[apshot]

[ 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. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Bed! Bed! Not that the goat will be using the bed too much now that he has Katsuki as an option. The goat bleeps happily anyway.]

Yeah... Are- you going to keep calling him Snowball?

[It's kind of a cute name. Even if he doesn't want STINKY attached to that.]

[apshot]

[ Never fear. He sets the little goat down. Be free, little familiar. ]

Ha? Why not? He's small, round, and white.

[ Please don't start crying again. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[At least this time the little goat does decide to do a little more exploring of the new home. He'll leave his precious Kacchan for now!]

I was thinking of calling him ... Toshi.

[You know- like Toshinori. All Might's real family name. How nerdy.]

[apshot]

[ He watches the little goat meander about. Looks back at Deku because augh. He would be the sort of nerd. ]

Yeah, no. I ain't calling him that. It's Snowball.

[ The goat doesn't look anything like a skeleton, sorry? And Izuku can call him whatever, of course. Bakugou will just stick to his own nicknames. ]

[fullgauntlet]

But- I thought it was a good name. It's a strong and cute sounding name.

[Izuku still seems fairly certain that's what he's going to call the little goat. But if Katsuki keeps calling him Snowball which name is really going to stick?

Both of them, both names will stick.]

[apshot]

You're naming him after All Might. How much of a nerd are you gonna continue to be?

[ Not like Izuku knows that Bakugou's hero name is Dynamight yet. He can get away with it! ]

I almost feel sorry for him.

[fullgauntlet]

[It seems with that Ruby decides to flutter away herself. Perhaps to join a little goat in exploring their new place to share.]

It's subtle! It's a subtle homage! I'm sure you're the only one who's going to get it so fast??

[Because you're an All Might nerd too KACCHAN.]

I like the sound of Toshi-chan!

[apshot]

How is that remotely subtle? Anyone with half a brain or that knows anything about you two would figure it out!

[ He's not a nerd. YOU'RE a nerd! ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Sure, Katsuki can keep thinking he's not a nerd when he's entirely a giant nerd too.]

If they do figure it out, then maybe they'll like that I picked something that relates to All Might! It's a good pick...!

[He's going to argue!!]

[apshot]

So basically you're saying that All Might. Number One hero of, like, all time... Is the equivalent of a stinky goat.

[ SO ARGUE. But you have to see how silly that is... ]

[fullgauntlet]

N- Wait... No! That's not what I mean at all! He's not a stinky goat, Kacchan! He's my familiar, my partner, so obviously it should be something important!

[apshot]

Did you even bother to ask him if he likes it?

[ Because like hell he'd have let Ruby stick if the bird didn't like it. ]

[fullgauntlet]

Well- [...] No, he doesn't really talk so I thought...

[Izuku rubs his hair.]

He hasn't acted like he doesn't like it?

[Maybe the goat just doesn't care!]

[apshot]

Wow. Not even one ounce of consideration for what a sentient being might want to be called. Shit, if Ruby hadn’t liked it then I wouldn’t be calking the dumb turkey it.

[ such a delinquent and inconsiderate person! ]

[fullgauntlet]

Did you ask him about calling him Snowball...?? I haven't seen him upset about the name, so?

[Gee, Kacchan.]

And you really shouldn't call her a dumb turkey. I'm glad she likes her name too...

[apshot]

Deku. Imma call someone whatever I want.

[ Scoffing! ]

I mean it'd be like me calling you Izuku or some dumb shit like that.

[fullgauntlet]

[Yeah, isn't that some dumb shit like that... Calling him Izuku..........]

Then- I'm going to call him what I want to! It's Toshichan.

[How long can they argue about this for?]

[apshot]

[ Meaning he never refers to anyone by name so why should Deku expect him to care about what the dumb goat wants to be called?

Then he gets an idea. ]

Wanna make a bet?

[fullgauntlet]

[...???]

What kind of bet?

[... Should he really venture to ask?]

[apshot]

A bet involving your stinky familiar. I win and you gotta do what I say. If you win -

[ A laugh! Because yeah. As if Deku is going to? ]

Then I'll do something you want.

[fullgauntlet]

...Huh? Eh?

[Do something Katsuki says- He can't even imagine what sort of crap he'll make Izuku clean around the house or- No way-!!

... But. "Then I'll do something you want." echoes really. Really. Loudly in his head.

Katsuki will do something that he wants? Katsuki will do something... he picks.]

I- I don't know, Kacchan...

[Just give him a second, he needs to think???]

[apshot]

[ Wow. Is the potential for Katsuki to do something Izuku would ask of him really not enough of an incentive? A lot of people should jump at the chance! ]

You don't know?

[ Deku. Please. ]
