That would be great...! But- How do you get on their bad sides? Did you manage to do something wrong? Fairies are particular about things, I think... It's probably not your fault...

[He nods as he starts to lead the way to the farm. The weather is nice and a perfect day for some questing. Izuku is still kind of buzzing about getting to do some work while collecting those unique holo stones up ahead.]

I've almost gotten attacked by a horde of them once. They're touchy...

[fooligans]

I guess it's just my luck. Or maybe no one wanted to make up childhood stories with moody fairies.

[ No story would prepare them for Camelot fairies, probably. ]

What did you do? During one of their parties, I took a five-minute break from dancing and that was enough to make one of them shrink me for an hour.

[ He was just caught at the worst possible moment. ]

[fullgauntlet]

Shrink you!? That sounds dangerous! What did you do?!

[At least it was only for an hour! With Izuku's luck he would have been stepped on or something.

Just up ahead is the colorful river. The water is glittering with an early summer glow. The stones in the waterbed make the water shine with holographic colors. Like a rainbow glittering right there.]

I accidentally stepped on one of their nest out here once. They almost cursed me with a head cold that who knows how long would have lasted...! And they tried to steal my name? I guess in some fae cultures that means it would have made me their slave...

[He rubs the back of his neck.]

Luckily I was able to avoid that by giving them my hero name and not my real name.

[fooligans]

I just tried not to get stepped on. Barely survived that adventure. If only I knew that it's considered distasteful to take breaks from dancing. You have to dance all the time while the music plays at their parties.

[ Or maybe it was just this one fairy? Difficult to tell, they can be really whimsical, all things considered. ]

Whoa, that's...a lot. Glad you didn't end up being their slave. [ Izuku had it much worse from what he's heard. ] But...your hero name?

[ More than being surprised that Izuku has one, he's more curious about what it is. In the corner of his eye, he notices the river but doesn't say anything about it just yet. ]

[fullgauntlet]

That sounds terrifying, Akira-kun... No one can dance for long periods of time...?

[Those pixie and fae curses are really something else. They seem so innocent in concept but they really are terrifying.]

Ah- Right, my hero name! Back home I'm training to become a pro hero. We protect the city and take down villains before they can cause trouble. We all have code names. By giving the pixie my hero name instead of my real name it somehow worked.

[So keep that in mind if another pixie or fae asks for a name!]

My hero name is Deku.

[fooligans]

No fairy will learn that from me. Maybe we shouldn't use our real names during this quest either?

[ Code name time! Sounds like a reasonable safety measure, especially after what he's just heard. Combined with his own experiences...well, being careful around fairies seems to be a smart thing to do. ]

You take them down before they cause trouble? That's very pro of you.

[ Compared to the Phantom Thieves who just wait for someone to mess someone else's life up. Or multiple lives, for that matter. ]

Can you come up with a name for me? Sounds fun.

[fullgauntlet]

It would be a good idea- just in case!

[Code names it is! Izuku smiles at the praise about being pro, thinking it's something he kind of likes hearing but tries not to glow about it too much. So instead he holds his fingers on his chin as he thinks of what kind of name would be good for Akira.]

I think I can try to come up with something...! Hero names are usually names that mean something to us or represent something about who we are. What kinds of things or words do you think are important to you? Things you've done or want to do back home?

[fooligans]

Well...

[ Admitting to being a Phantom Thief might change the storyline of this quest a bit too much, so Akira holds back from answering with that. ]

I've been making puns both at home and here. So maybe...Pun-isher?

[ He can't be serious. ]

[fullgauntlet]

Eh-

[Izuku blinks and then snorts with a short laugh.]

That actually- might be okay? I think I've read a comic or something about an anti-hero with a name like that...
