Deku

[apshot]

[ It's been about two weeks since the whole clone/double incident. Again, they haven't really talked about it all that much, just like there is a backlog of things that have happened and have never really been addressed. Or, rather, one thing sort of has... But they haven't even really spoken about that either. Rather, things have just sort of fallen into a pattern with them. Katsuki thinks that's how things are going to go - them constantly adjusting to a new sort of "normal" for them. They've fought. They've awkwardly moved around each other... But they've not really talked about anything.

Katsuki just doesn't know how to. So there he stands in the doorway to his bedroom in the loft. He wakes much earlier than Deku does so he's looking at those stupid green curls while rubbing the back of his neck. Bakugou is still thinking a little too much on how to bring things up. Katsuki had made that promise that things would be better, so he is going to try to continue working on that. Piece by piece.

Because kicking at the bed to wake the other up is totally the way to go about that, right? ]

Oi! Time to wakey wakey, shit nerd!

[ Which... It's earlier than Izuku's normal time to get up too. Katsuki is already formulating some kind of strategy. Now if it will work or not, he doesn't rightfully know. Yet he has to give it a try. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[It seems like the new normal for them lately. Getting swept up in quests and studying magic on top of dealing with things like doppelgangers trying to kill them, slimes exploding, friends getting hurt, houses needing repairs... This world is certainly busier than South Sister ever was. So much that Izuku and Katsuki really haven't had time to talk about anything. Anything important. Like quiet nights after birthday parties and everything else...

Not that Izuku really knows how he should bring any of that up without thinking he might ignite a fight of some sort. There is certain things that he wants to say but every time he thinks about it there's this stab of anxiety in his stomach for it.

It's the morning that Katsuki decides Izuku has to get up that Izuku decidedly decides that it is not time to get up. He groans and pulls his pillow over his face and mutters into it.]

Nhh... Five more minutes...

[apshot]

[ This little shit... Is he really just going to turn over? In Katsuki's bed nonetheless? He's going to outright ignore the blonde telling him to get up? Oh hell no! That's not going to happen.

With a growl, Bakugou reaches down and yanks that pillow away! He's about to yell something to Deku when another thought occurs to him. A vicious grin appears across his features that no one but him will ever be privy to. Time to see how effective this shit is. ]

Deku.

[ Instead of beating Izuku mercilessly with the pillow and trying to suffocate him while also berating him? Katsuki leans down. Presses his lips against those stupidly chapped ones. ]

Wake. The fuck. Up.

[ Then he slams the pillow down onto Deku's face.... And skips off down the stairs. Smirking. Oh yeah. That'll get the nerd up. ]

1/2

[fullgauntlet]

[He's just innocently sleeping... Enjoying a blissful sleep... Not expecting the dangerous growl of his name-

Oh no-

His eyes snap open the moment that his pillow is taken!! He's going to get beat he just knows---

............!!!!!!!!!!]

Hmnmm---!!!

[WAIT WAIT]

2/2

[fullgauntlet]

[That smack of lips and then it's gone! Only for that pillow to slam hard into his face and Izuku is very much awake. Awake and turning a blasted red and grabbing at the pillow while his legs kick and he half screams into the pillow.

... This is not how he imagined his second... one ... to go.

Then again the first one wasn't either.]

Kacchan...!!

[He's seriously sitting up and hucking his pillow as hard as he can at the back of Katsuki's head.]

Shitty Hair

[apshot]

[ Kirishima had been the one to suggest going on a little outing. It's probably not a bad idea. With all of the crazy crap that had happened this last month and a half, a break is probably needed. Bakugou had been scoping out some spots. Originally he had wanted to try the Ash Mountains to climb. However they aren't within the country's borders and with some tensions mounting? Probably not a good idea.

That means there's really only the white cliff sides along the bay. Sure, there's a staircase that leads up, but scaling them naturally? That's more Bakugou's speed. Since a location is decided, he just has to figure out how Kirishima wants to go about this. Chances are they won't need to camp out or anything like that.

Additionally... They could just camp out in the forest. That's why Bakugou is beating on the door to the inn room. He's going to make the guy make up Bakugou's own mind. Might as well give the asshole a say in this. ]

Open the fuck up already!

I tagged this in a timely manner what are you talking about

[machismost]

[ There's the loud sound of something heavy thudding onto the floor and a soft swear from within. Another half a minute later and Kirishima is open the door. His hair seemed to have been pulled back, but a sheaf of it has made an escape on one side, falling over his ear. ]

Heeyyy! Come on in.

[ He grins brightly at his friend, gesturing for Bakugou to come inside. Ever since he arrived, Kirishima's felt a little unmoored, so he's excited to see and spend time with one of his best friends - so excited, it seems, he tripped over his own bed where he's currently got clothes laid out, if the sudden slant of the bed way from the wall is any indication. ]

Did you eat breakfast yet?

/eyes

[apshot]

[ Bakugou eyes Kirishima. Then the bed. The floor. Then back up to Kirishima proper. Someone's looking pretty damn NOT put together here. ]

Is anything gonna come out and try to attack me?

[ Does he have to go in there and clean your room for you, bro? Either way he is going to step inside and start judging inspecting things. ]

I ate.

[ Look. His routine hasn't changed much. Sorry to say? ]

[machismost]

Attack-- Oh! Nah, the rabbits have stopped showin' up. But even if they do it's only at night.

[ And while he's supposed to have a roommate, the only other occupant in the room is the motionless, stone liondog curled around the tiny, sunken garden that separates the two sides. A single moonflower grows there beneath a mound of soil that's ]

What'd you have?

[ This seems to be more conversational as Kirishima returns to the bed alongside Bakugou. At the moment, Eijiro doesn't have much to his name, so there's not much to make a mess of. All his clothes fit in a footlocker and don't even fill it yet, most of them being strewn across the bed for inspection. What's left in there at the moment are the pieces that comprise his hero costume, sans boots. The boots in question are what Kirishima picks up. ]

These'll work, right?

Round Face

[apshot]

[ You know who is perfectly capable of doing a quest on their own? Bakugou. Do you know who keeps getting roped into doing quests with other people? Bakugou. There comes a point where one just has to resign themselves to the inevitable and come to terms with the fact that he is not meant to do anything alone here. Either someone is going to show up along the way or he is going to be tugged into a series of unfortunate side adventures with side characters. It's downright annoying, really.

How the hell is someone supposed to stand out a little around here? That's what he would genuinely want to know as Uraraka has decided to visit this village that had put a request out for something simple like exteriminating a few pests. This really isn't such a big deal and really doesn't require two people. At least Bakugou doesn't think that it does. Yet here he is, walking alongside her as she rattles off this that or the other. He really doesn't know what she's talking about. Somehere along the way he had just started to tune her out.

She really is as bad as Deku in some respects! ]

[floatsaway]

[In all honesty, Ochako hadn't really expected to see Bakugou while she took on the request. She's been a bit scarce when it came to interacting with a few of her friends, mostly for personal reasons. The whole mess with the dopplegangers really messed with her head, especially the last one being Izuku himself...it was pretty rough, and made her question a lot of things about her relationship with the two boys. How easy it was to almost be deceived, or how hard it was to tell them apart. Is it right of her to call them both her close friends if she can't even tell the real ones from shitty fakes?

Hence why, as she prattles on about the quest at hand, her usual chipperness isn't as evident in her voice as it normally is. Ochako's pretty good at hiding when she's feeling down, pushing aside her problems because they're no one else's responsibility but her own, but it's still not perfect. She doesn't expect Bakugou to ask, or even care really, it's more so he doesn't question her capabilities at actually succeeding on the mission. They work well together, that's for certain, and she doesn't exactly want him to think she's not got her head fully in the game.]

--so we really should get diving suits instead of just bathing suits before we go in there, if possible. I'd rather not go through a--...actually, nevermind.

[Does Bakugou even know about the incident with the spiders? How she came very close to death by being bitten by one's venomous fangs? Did Deku tell Bakugou about that? She's not sure...so much shit has been happening just in the past month or two, it's starting to kind of make her head spin.]

[apshot]

[ Deku hasn't said shit about that, of course. They've sort of have had to sort out a lot of crap between themselves lately. Between doppelgangers and some other things... Probably just hasn't come up. Besides! Ochako is tough. ]

Go through a what? Diving suits will only insulate better, right? It's not that they really offer any more protection...

[ Do they? ]

[floatsaway]

[Tough to a degree, certainly. This world certainly has been testing the limits of her strength quite a bit...and there's been several cracks made into her mental and emotional state specifically. Physically, she can recover from most things, but the shit with the dopplegangers, then getting fatally poisoned by the spiders...it's been a lot.

That last one, actually had made Ochako really sort of...take this mission way more seriously. Since these monsters are just as dangerous if they get a hold of you, it seems. She doesn't want a repeat of her blunder, or worse. Bakugou getting injured. She can't...fucking stomach the thought, and it makes her skin itchy. She still gets sick thinking back on how much she herself had to pummel in the faces of her her tw friends, even if they were just fakes.]

Nothing, don't worry. [And now to deflect--] Mm, yeah, but it is an extra layer between whatever these things can do to p...p-peel skin off things. I'd rather anything in the ways of that than to go in with just a bikini or something. Plus, it'd be easier to move in.

[They're kinda designed to be, after all.]

Frog Face

[apshot]

You know there's really no point in doing this, right?

[ Nor does it really require two people as far as Katsuki is concerned. How hard is getting a rock from a river? A rock that sparkles in a particular way? It's not even that far out, but - ]

By putting it out there for people to do, this lady is gonna end up with a shit ton of rocks.

[ Which might sort of be the point? But of course Bakugou misses that. He's not exactly the most empathetic person around, is he? Sure, he holds a lot of emotion, but he does have a hard time connecting to people sometimes.

Who knows. Maybe that's why Tsuyu thought he could come along? ]

[frogiveness]

There is a point.

[Tsuyu shrugs, looking back at him with a vague smile.]

We get paid to do it, and that's why we should. She might want a lot of rocks though, I didn't even question why. So long as she's happy and we're happy in the end, does it really matter?

[Ever blunt, but she figures they may as well work together. They haven't' at home, and he agreed to come along with her so that is something.]

[apshot]

I couldn't care less about the pay...

[ Maybe she should have brought Round Face with her instead. Ochako is the one becoming a hero for money, right? Something like that.

That's not why Bakugou does what eh does. It isn't what motivates him? ]

That Smoking Guy

[apshot]

[ Since one of the quests happens to ask people to set fire to a building - any building - Bakugou might have been checking people out. Pro heroes aren't really a thing here so it walks a really fine line between being a hero and being a vigilante to act like he would at home. It's a line he doesn't know if he can cross. However, that doesn't mean he can't try to figure out who might be taking up that request, right?

He does notice someone clearly casing a building. To be fair, Bakugou doesn't pay too much attention to whether or not this particular building is worthy to be burned to the ground or not. All he cares about is that motherfucker that smokes eyeing the place up. As far as the blonde is concerned, that is grounds to put his hands on his hips and step in front the loser. ]

You lose something or some shit like that?

[toremainbehind]

[It's not as if Izumo is particularly interested in taking this request. He doesn't quite have the means to set a whole building on fire, after all. Even transmutating something to that level is beyond his reach--for now.

It doesn't mean he can't look into it, right?

Izumo looks down at the kid and....oh. It's the nonsmoking, good kid.]

Simply surveying the area. What brings you around here?

[apshot]

Surveying the area for what exactly?

[ Like hell he is going to tell this shady guy that he's looking and seeing what the guy is actually up to! Don't think he doesn't realize people are going to be trying to burn shit down...

And this asshole already likes to light it up from the get go anyway. ]

Smiles

[apshot]

[ One of these days he's really going to have to stop and think about the people he allows to drag him around. Bakugou isn't really even sure how he had agreed to come out this far in the first place. Parties and being around people is definitely not his thing. Socializing in general is not his thing. Yet Bakugou is in this house, watching all these people go about their business with some very questionable things going on.

He wants no part of it. That's why Bakugou is getting up. Enough is enough. Time to leave. The blonde wants no part in this shit, understand? But when he gets to the door - ]

What the hell!?

[ It's gone. ]

[whatsamada]

[All things considered, Ken really wasn't expecting Bakugo to go on this quest with him. He figured he would say no but much to his surprise, he agreed. Although, he wondered how long it would take for him to get up and leave. Just as he had that thought, he noticed him getting up and head straight for the door.

As Ken was behind him to say something, that's when he looked right at him.]

Where's the door?

[#CaptainObvious]

[apshot]

Apparently the door doesn't exist anymore!

[ He's turn on Ken and demand to know if the guy knew this would happen. But given that statement? Bakugou doesn't think that's the case here. So it must mean that someone at the party is behind it.

Or outside of the party. It's hard to say without knowing what the intention here was. ]

You! [ But there is at least ONE thing he can ask - ] What was the goal here? What were we supposed to be doing?

Icy Hot

[apshot]

[ Culling creatures is not a one day task. Granted, Bakugou's already been out here with Ochako at least once before. So this time around he knows where he's going and what to expect. He's better prepared to deal with these stupid little flesh eating creatures...

But there's a problem regardless. Bakugou spins around to face the person that's been dogging his steps for at least half of the trip to the little hunting ground. ]

The hell are you following me for!?

[ Why is Todoroki just THERE all of the sudden!? ]

[itsmypower]

[It's coincidence, mostly! Like a stray, his much too-quiet inclinations means he's fallen in step behind him, his not-so-subtly-there shadow. It's by chance they're meeting at all... assuming they've spied the same mission. If he's headed to where he thinks he is.

But to say, I think you'll need the help, or, I'm worried about you, alone, seems the slightest bit risky. Wouldn't it make him especially careless, clumsy, to project his own worries?

Todoroki knows better.

To even imply he isn't enough—or worse, suggest he might need him: an argument in the making. To hint he's incapable. So, instead, the boy straightens. Shoulders locked. Eyes the slightest bit startled. His hands find his pockets, and after a moment's consideration, he makes it seem as if his following's only a case of rare synchrony. Hopefully, convincingly nonchalant.

He answers plainly back.]

O-uh, [Dimly. As if he's only just realized.] Wasn't this the way to the village? [Vaguely... This trip's his first visit.] There's a bulletin out about it. [This is true!]

It looked like you were headed there.

[Yes. Purely coincidental.]

Come to think of it... I could probably use your help.

[apshot]

[ He waits patiently for some kind of explanation, of course. Now he isn't entirely convinced of the reason. "I could use your help.' What bullshit. However the part about heading towards the village? That's probably true.

This guy... This bastard really can piss him off. ]

So what if I am? Why should I help you?

[ Of course he probably will, but he doesn't need to say that right away. ]
