🧙 WHO: Bakugou Katsuki + YOU
⚔️️ WHAT: Quests, Open Prompts
🕒 WHEN: All throughout March
🗺️ WHERE: Various!
⚠️ WARNINGS: Spiders in Prompt 3


( Librirynth )

[ A quest to take down monsters? To test his skills through sheer combat? Like anything else is going to really appeal to Bakugou, let's be real. Now that he has more than one magic type to master, it's more important. His philosophy is that he would best develop under pressure. Through practical means rather than being tied up at the training grounds.

It's with a feral expression that he takes on this task, cracking his knuckles as he dips into the labyrinth. ]

DON'T BOTHER SENDING ANYONE ELSE! JUST WAIT AND SEE!

[ Time for a classic RNG adventure! Just how far will our heroes get, because Bakugou isn't actually going in there alone is he? ]


(  These Bumbles Don't Bounce )

You're going about this shit all wrong.

[ So says the blonde just sitting there with his hands in his pockets. Bakugou doesn't seem to be offering any assistance and will not elaborate unless asked further. Instead he just keeps watching with judging expression. This isn't something that is going to really be something done for "notoriety" so it's not something he's interested in doing. ]

Don't you have any brains in that head of yours?

[ It's not that, really. Not everyone is a nerd like Katsuki secretly is and has weird personality quirks. The reality is that Bakugou knows things that people wouldn't expect for him to. This is just one of those things... ]


( Vital Venoms ) **SKIP FOR SPIDERS**
[ Isn't spider venom a pretty common ingredient used in magic and potions in general? So it's not surprising that there's a quest to go out to collect some since apparently they are getting a little too active and coming out and saying hi to people. That's why he's out here and not because a certain nerd would also probably want some but likely get bitten in the process to deal with them even though this usually isn't something he'd be bothered with doing. ]

The hell does it matter if they are alive or not? Venom works regardless of the host still breathing!

[ Wouldn't it just be easier to collect the venom producing parts and bring them in? Katsuki is kind of grumbling about it when, wouldn't you know, he is the one walking right into one of those icky sticky webs! ]

Shit!


( Very Friendly Vines )

BACK OFF!

[ Anyone else coming into the forest is going to be met with a rather interesting sight - Bakugou dangling in the air by the ankle. One of those vines has wrapped itself around the area. Missing people is definitely something to look into but he hadn't anticipated this. ]

Shitty plants!

[ He blasts at the vine with a weakish fireball. Enough to be let go - only for another one to grab him by the arm. ]

Argh!

[ To be honest... Bakugou is going to keep trying to break free with sheer force and destructive magic. ]


( Double Trouble )

[ Let's say you're enjoying your day in Camelot City. Maybe you're having a good time shopping or eating at one of the cafes in the area. It's a great day and even better weather. It should be spent outside, right? Yeah, well... There's a loud blast that's going to totally ruin the ambience. Smoke billows into the air and being thrown from it is one Bakugou Katsuki. He rolls across the ground a little, looking a bit roughed up as he catches himself. Pushing himself up, he coughs.

That's when his opponent then launches themselves from the dust cloud, another fireblast obscuring everyone's vision. Bakugou throws up a barrier to block the incoming attack - smoke once again billowing all around them...

And when the smoke clears... It's not one Bakugou Katsuki that stands there. It's two. ]

Closed to Deku

[apshot]

[ Bakugou might be coming back to the house at odd hours and pretty exhausted. Between going out and facing shit like slimes and monsters there's also bees and shitty spiders. On top of that? There's a lot of things that he had been put through last month that haven't been entirely processed. Things that have really been on Bakugou's mind - because that's what he does, right? Katsuki thinks and thinks and thinks on things until they're bouncing around in his mind at such a speed that they eventually work their way out at the most inconvenient moment.

Then there's also the fact he's keeping himself busy with all this crap so he's not overwhelmed by the thoughts and emotions that are driving him nuts. So naturally he's thrown himself into working on his magic even more. Hence the coming back exhausted. Literally what Katsuki has been doing is getting a shower and cooking and then going straight to bed. There's no time for anything between.

Except for maybe today. He's gotten his shower in and instead of going right to the kitchen, he's plopping down onto the couch, sprawling out and scrolling through his phone. It's all right to just sit there for a moment, right? Towel around his neck, he's just going to wait until he's completely dry before proceeding with his next task. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku is a fairly normal night bird, himself. He tends to stay up until weird hours of the night especially when he has something to sink his thoughts into. It's easier to occupy his brain with studying and stories than think too hard about all the other things going on. Thinking about how he can apply his new magic to helping people and being a type of hero here (a knight?) is better than overthinking things elsewhere. Thoughts of what's been going on lately with Katsuki and the issues with ... Shigaraki... Izuku's sleep patterns are all over the place again.

He wanders downstairs with a book in hand when the hour turns over. Leaving his room to sneak into the kitchen for some sort of snack or any of the leftovers that Katsuki might have left behind.

He passes by the back of the couch where the fireplace is still burning lowly to see a lazed-out Katsuki there. He stops for a brief moment, a word or greeting hanging on his lips.]

... Ah- You're still awake, Kacchan?

[apshot]

[ There's always leftovers. Katsuki makes sure to make enough for the both of them. It's just habit now more than any desire to make sure that he does. At least now he knows that the nerd isn't filling himself with shitty food that's not going to have any nutritional value. Of course Bakugou is also pretty strict on the cleaning too.

He looks in the direct of Deku, getting close to the point where exhaustion normally takes over. It makes for a rather mellow Katsuki, to be fair. ]

Ah? Not for long.

[ He's such an old man. Going to bed early in the evening is just how he is. That hasn't changed. Though if Deku really takes a peek around, he'll find that, sure enough, the little goat is resting quite soundly under Katsuki's feet already. ]

Double Trouble

[floatsaway]

[In all honesty, Ochako was doing a bit of shopping. She was stocking up on some foodstuffs to make a simple lunch and dinner tonight (just some rice, potatoes, carrots, and chicken for a simple katsu curry recipe), but the blast makes her yelp in shock and surprise, her own being drowned out by the numerous other screams and shouts from crowd-goers and merchants.

Instantly, Ochako's switch is flipped, and she drops all her things and races toward the nearest civilian who looks like they've fallen from the force of the blast. She checks them over, to make sure they're alright, then is on her feet instantly, calling out in the loudest voice she can.]

EVERYONE!! PLEASE EVACUATE THE AREA! GET INSIDE AND DO NOT PERMIT EXIT UNTIL THE PERIMETER IS SAFE!!

[Thankfully, though small, once she lifts up into the air from her qui--no...no. Not quirk, it's still just magic, Ochako. Kinetic magic. In the air, she can get a better vantage point, making sure people are clearing the area like she said, and she can also see what in the world is going on. However what - or who - she sees startles her somewhat.

It's Bakugou, but not just one. Two of him, as she she directs herself towards the two, and drops from the air with a small hyup!, Ochako stands her ground and flicks her eyes back at forth between the two. There's a dangerous expression slowly overtaking her features, lips curling back over her teeth and eyes fierce. One of the League was already here...so it'd be no wonder that she could appear, too. But...no, it's impossible. Quirks don't work here, she wouldn't be able to--]

I really...don't like copycats. [Her eyes scan over each one of the two blondes in turn, and Ochako shifts into a battle stance. She'll sock either one of them, no problem.]

[apshot]

[ Unfortunately, getting people out of the way is the last thing on either one's mind. For one wants to destroy the original at any cost and the other wants to destroy this close before things get too out of hand. Good for Ochako that she is acting like a real hero here and thinking about the bystanders before jumping into the fray herself.

The two are at an impasse though. One is pressed against the barrier, trying to use magic to force his way through. The other is working on keeping the barrier up. He's about to try to attempt the spikes from his barrier when his double umps away.

Both turn to Ochako. Both look equally pissed. There is literally no way to tell them apart based on physical appearance. ]

STAY OUT OF THIS! IT DOESN'T CONCERN YOU!

[ Geez. They even sound the same. At the same time! ]

[floatsaway]

[No way to tell, no, and...honestly, a part of her does feel bad for what she's about to do, but...what choice does Ochako have? They're fighting in the middle of a shopping area, where lots of people congregate - if Ochako hesitates and lets them continue their stupid duel, lots of innocent people might get hurt. That, and the property damage will be critical. It's hero's duty to make sure to keep damage to property to a minimum...and to never ever endanger the lives of civilians.

Getting them far away from here won't work, they're too stubborn and pigheaded, and Ochako's not sure she can take them both on at once, but...like hell that's going to stop her now. Hopefully once she bangs the real Bakugou around a little bit, his walnut brain will lock into place and he'll see reason for long enough to take this fight to a less populated area.]

WHEN YOU RISK THE LIVES OF INNOCENT PEOPLE, IT DOES CONCERN ME!!

[She shifts her posture suddenly, and the tips of her fingers glow that soft, pink color as that same glow surrounds both of the two Bakugous, and each one of them begins to start lifting up and off the ground...

Before being forcibly flung into the barrier, the ground, the side of a building nearby - their bodies becoming Ping-Pong balls as Ochako waves her hands about in the air.]

I'LL TAKE YOU BOTH ON IF IT MEANS MAKING SURE EVERYONE STAYS SAFE! THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A HERO!!! IF YOU THINK I'M WRONG, THEN COME FIGHT ME HEAD ON! [It's...a purposeful goading. Baiting. The real Bakugou would, she hopes, prioritize safety above battle - it's what they were all taught at UA. He's not so bloodthirsty that he'd continue to wreck havoc on a populated area like this. Stand down, make a tactical retreat to a better spot to fight...something. Show her the real you, Bakugou. Ochako is putting her faith in you now.]

Vital Venoms

[heart_demands]

Damnit!

[ A whispered echo of a curse comes from nearby. Shinsou had been hoping to scope out the Spiders on his own and possibly do this Quest all on his own, but then along came the loudmouthed asshole. ]

Hey! Shut up, they're gonna hear you!

[ Whether his barely-above-a-whisper chastising works or not, he starts looking around in the webbing for his targets. So much for recon. ]

[apshot]

[ HEY NO ONE ASKED YOU TO GO POKING YOUR NOSE AROUND IN AN AREA HE HAD CLAIMED FOR HIMSELF! ]

Let them hear me!? I'll fry every single one of them! The fuck their corpses can't still be used!

[ Did he really think whispering and telling Bakugou what to do was going to work? Really? Pffft! That's funny!

But no, really. Bakugou's just squirming and yanking those webs he's tangled up in even more. That's going to draw more attention than his yelling. ]

[heart_demands]

[ Why is he not surprised? Here Uraraka had been saying how much had changed and yet... here's one thing that definitely hadn't. ]

Fry every one of them that comes after you if you don't care about the reward. Leave one near me alive, or else.

[ Sure enough, here they come, chittering down the webs. Shinsou's not very good with his Kinetic magic yet, but there's no time like the present to practice. He jumps up, hovering just a little above two web lines as he 'braces' there, counting how many he sees. ]

One, three, four, six...

Friendly Vines

[crimsongirl]

[Not everyone was having as much trouble. Well, Homura did earlier, initially confused until she figured out what was up. Right now though? She seemed to be smirking as she bounced along the walls and her wind magic. This was actually kinda fun training, something the grounds simply didn't have.

Every vine that closed in were sliced by her blood claws; so long as she remained focused and had those thin crimson arm guards formed of blood too, she could prevent additional blood loss.

By the time she and Bakugo faced each other, she frowned, eye twitching. They really needed to stop meeting at weird times like these.]

I'd ask if you need help, but you'd likely sooner tell me to get bent, so... have fun![She vanishes, wind magic propelling her upward to continue her waltz with the vines focused on her.]

[apshot]

[ They really, really do. She kind of grates on his nerves a little? But then again, a lot of people grate on his nerves. Bakugou doesn't much care for people in general. That's just the type of person. She's right though. It's not like Bakugou would ask for her help. He wouldn't ask for anyone's help. ]

Go on! I don't want your shitty help!

[ To avoid another round of fights with vines? Bakugou's making a bubble shield around himself!

Now... Well. We'll see how long it holds up. He's not good with these. ]

[crimsongirl]

Called it!

[Admittedly, she predicted the f-word instead of the s, but eh, didn't say it out loud. Given how explosive he was, this should be simple for him to get out and she could have some peace and quiet before her next break.

She keeps attacking the vines who wanted to grab her, continuing to bounce from wall to wind magic, then the wall again. Maybe the training grounds could use something like this, something to help their mobility in tight spaces. Maybe if she could find someone to help build it...

Though as a result of her training, some dead vines are falling on the ground, and some in the path of Bakugo's shield. Oh no, what an annoying accident!]

Double Trouble

[toremainbehind]

[Here he was, planning on having a good day of exploring and finding some good shops to go to. Maybe even find a job or two to get some sort of income in.

Except there's a loud blast and as he looks in that direction, he recognizes the kid who comes flying out.

And the other kid that comes flying.

...

There's two of them.

Here he thought only one of that kid was bad enough. Now there's two. He doesn't exactly have the best kind of magic for this even with his alchemy.]

[apshot]

[ From the looks of things, they are pretty evenly matched! They meet each other tit for tat. Fire against shield. Ice against fire.

Then one throws the other back with a blast of wind. ]

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY!?

[ Which, of course, only seems to fire the duplicate (?) up even more! ]

NOT UNTIL YOU DIE FIRST!

[toremainbehind]

[How is he supposed to intervene in this....?]

Can both of you settle down?

[Which...might not work considering how loud they're being.]

Friendly Vines

[luminatus]

[Eleven ventures into the woods, curious about the reports of missing people and eager to stretch his legs.

He's walking down the path, his familiar waddling beside him, when he sees the unusual sight overhead; a young man slinging fireballs at vines suspending him in the air.

For a few seconds all Eleven can do is watch and try to make sense of the situation then, finally, he calls out.]

Oi! Need any help?

[apshot]

I GOT THIS!

[ Because he's very frustrated. These things are pretty damn determined! Though he is probably going to run out of magical energies here at some point. Bakugou even dodges one and manages to slide down another a different one a ways before jumping above another one that's coming his way. ]

DON'T YOU COME NEAR ME!

[ Which, of course, sounds more hostile than what it is. He means that any more steps towards him is going to signal to the vines that there is someone else there. Then instead of just one person fighting them off, there'd be two. ]

[luminatus]

[Eleven does as Bakugou requests and remains where he is.

After a few long moments of watching the vines he lifts his hand and tries to create a shield of light around the young man... He's not sure if it will work. He's still new to being a wizard and keeping track of a moving target is already tricky enough.]

Librarinth!

[forgeabettertomorrow]

[Darin was lucky that the Librarinth quest was back up. He hated leaving a job unfinished. And when he finds Bakugou on the steps to the library, he makes his way up to greet the loud mouth kid.]

Question: Have you been to the chamber where the monsters are? Because if you haven't, I happen to have a map since I scouted this place months ago.

[You need him, Bakugou. Admit it.]

[apshot]

[ Oh Bakugou could relate. Leaving something undone is just not how he rolls. They might have had to pull him out kicking and screaming. Just saying.

At the sound of a familiar irritating voice, Bakugou feels his shoulders tense. Doesn't even bother to turn around. ]

What're you getting at, Blueberry?

[ He does not need you! ]

[forgeabettertomorrow]

You want at those monsters as fast as possible right?

I can lead you to ‘em.

Librirynth

[scension]

[Unwise or not, Sagi had intended to delve into this place with only his familiar for company... up until the moment some guy shoves past both him and his mutant tentacle monster on the way into the darkness beyond, yelling the entire time. Does he recognise Bakugou's voice? Vaguely, yeah. It matters a whole lot less than the danger Sagi thinks he might be running into. The quest poster was pretty vocal about the sheer volume of monsters down there; he'd hate to jump into places like that unprepared, let alone allow someone else to take that risk.]

Hey, wait! [He sprints to catch up, barely skipping a beat.] Let us go ahead. We're armed.

[He sure doesn't appear to have a weapon on him, but he could pull it out of his pocket at any time. It counts.]

[apshot]

[ Excuse the fuck out of you? Are you looking down on him because eh doesn't have some kind of weapon? Huh? Katsuki's irritation is pretty much filling the entire space as Sagi draws closer. ]

I don't need a goddamn weapon to take down a couple of low-class monsters...

[ Careful how you approach this, Sagi. As far as Bakugou is concerned he has this magic he can use. Then he also has his fists! He's not helpless! ]

WHEEZES, i'm here! sorry for the late tag-in! libririynththdfth

[sparkstrikes]

[He might seem alone at first, but he won't get very far into the damn place before he finds Lightning lost in the maze of bookshelves. Apparently, others had successfully navigated their way through the first time, but she wasn't there for that, and decided she would be best going in on her own. Well, that was a mistake and a half.

So here she is, kicking another shelf when she comes to another dead-end. She's so, so close to the exit but she has no idea... She would if she would just keep going, but she's taking a moment to take her frustrations out on some innocent books that go tumbling to the floor.

When she hears a familiar voice, if not a little loud, she turns just in time to see Bakugou stomping his way further into the labyrinth.]

You sure you wanna go further in? [Another book falls from a higher shelf, and almost hits her right on the head.] This place sucks.

[.......... please help and guide her out of here.]

aww yer good

[apshot]

[ It's not like he had actually mapped this place out before. However he knows a few people that have. So he has a pretty good idea of where he needs to go to get out of here and down where it really counts. Katsuki is really itching to actually fight something like a monster instead of sparring with some other loser.

When Lightning calls out to him, Katsuki pauses. is she just... Kicking over books and shit? Okay, so he'd probably be doing the same if he had gotten frustrated. ]

Yeah, I do. Would be pointless to come here otherwise.

[ It doesn't suck. It's just a damn maze. The real fun doesn't begin until getting to the lower floor. ]

So are you gonna keep going or just smack the books around?
