[Most importantly, does Toga really want to sit here and save people? No, not really. It's tempting to just walk out and join the running crowd, this isn't her forte. Still, this girl is pretty strong. Toga almost... want to try and be like her, tempting.]

Wow, you really don't have the hang of this.

[Well, this girl did save her life, may as well do this one favor.]

I know you all heard her, better move those legs.

[And they are, moving out the building and Toga is following them. Before leaving out the door, she did pause for a moment, watching Homura's triumph to the very end. Will this girl make it out alive? Or die trying? People are so interesting.]

[She ignored Toga's words and focused on the collapsing roof. If only this was back in her world, she could probably just tear through or knock away a good chunk. Maybe even certain magic could make this more bearable. For now, there was only thing she could think of: how the hell to get out once the people were gone.

Fortunately it seemed Toga pulled through. Not a moment too soon as the roof began to break apart. Large chunks of wood started to come towards her. Just as they nearly struck, her body vanished, using wind magic to kick off the floor and towards the exit. Not even that was enough to escape, as more wood came down to impede her.

No choice then. Her blades weren't gonna be enough. From three spots on each of her hands, claws suddenly sprouted out, her blood forming the weapons. Quick movements saw the debris flying away, all as Homura gracefully landed outside; ended way better than with the vines, that's for sure.]

Good thing I'm used to this shit by now.

[She sighed, claws of blood returning to her body. Not weapon teleportation but hey, this worked well.]

[[ooc: Cont. from here.]]

Oh plz try. im really curious. its my first pet so idk much you know? ;D

[ooc: Cont. from here]]

its really fun, you should try it sometime. playing someone different is fun.

well, ill forgive you. only because its texting =3

[Yes she is...]

yeah about that. i still dont get it. i mean, yay hes protecting us, but are you still willing to trust them? its a bit too sketchy, you know?

Yes, it can be hard to discern tone and intent from text, can't it? I am sorry.

[ Just like it's hard to tell when you're texting with a DASTARDLY VILLAIN!! ]

"Sketchy" or not, we don't have much choice at the moment. There's no way that has been found to return home, that I know of.

[[ooc: Cont. from here]]

[Well, she wasn't there to witness all his mighty One for All, she had more important things to discuss. Thinking back, more stuff happened and, it needs to be addressed.

She quickly nods before dropping against the seating, grinning.]

Can't wait. [Can't wait to buy you tons of lipbalm. YUM.] I wish this thing was faster I can't wait. Oh! And Tomura-chan.

[Suddenly her eyes narrow and her tone drops.]

We need to catch up on things.

[A. Lot. Of things.]

[He hates the ride from this too and stands up, stretching his limbs before slouching like he always has. As for her telling him that they need to catch up on things, he wasn't certain what things she meant. There was a lot of possibilities and Gokudera had shown him that much.]

Then we'll walk, it'll be faster. They never move faster than this. Come.

[It's an easy hop over the edge of the buggy and he waits for her to jump down, too. His familiar follows him, knowing not to stand too close lest he berrate her for her proximity.]

[Thank god. She hates waiting, she hates this mood, but she is damn glad Shigaraki is awake and well. After Shigaraki's suggestion, or order, Toga rocks forward, picking herself up, and stretches before hopping over and off the cart from where she is effortlessly. She's young and surprisingly flexible, girl got to plan her escape routes every moment. Her familiar stays on her shoulder, like an ugly clingy squirrel.]

Coming.

[Toga didn't have much belongings to carry. She didn't arrive with her equipment, not like she needs it now her quirk is gone. It wasn't very cute anyway. Off the cart, Toga stretches her arms out more, like a bird ready to spread their wings and fly, her grin stretches across her face, taking a deep breath and exhales a long smooth sigh.]

Much better. My legs were about to fall asleep.

[Are they far enough yet?]

[[ooc: Cont. from here.]]

[Ochako, you're too cute. This is driving her crazy.]

they're pricy? i was hoping to add an air fryer to my collection later.

no. im not really good at cooking. ._. i cheated the system and have noodle soup ready for backup. those flavor pouches are so good you can mix it with almost anything for the flavor. was hoping to hack but i suppose i can try if its not too hard for you.

[This is a girl living off fast foods most of her two years. How this girl doesn't gain wait is anyone's guess.]

but i do have someone here who is helpless by himself. what are some good dishes to start out with?

Depending on the brand you get, they can be... The fancier ones with more settings and easier controls can be a lot.

_@

Eeh...those packets aren't really all that healthy... They're mostly just salt.
Plus, dashi can be easily made by mixing some other ingredients.
Though, for something super duper simple that takes no time at all?
Potatoes. Or eggs. Rice, too...obviously. [Considering their culture has rice in nearly every dish.]

I can shoot you a few suuuuper duper simple recipes that are CRAZY cheap and really tasty, if you want? Just to start out!!
Honestly, if you can boil water, you can probably make these, lol.
Oh, but I think the Inn lets you stay and eat for free, and their food is pretty darn good...just to start to save up money from quests and stuff like that to get a place for yourself and your friend. I did that before I moved in with my friends into a place of our own, and I'm sure tons of other people do the same.

[[ooc: Cont. from here.]]

[Oh, there are more questions where that came from, and Toga isn't done. Her interview is cut short when the boulder misses them and hits a support beam instead. How is this monster aiming from over there? Lucky shot!

This robot is so big and calm. Is someone riding that thing? That's one of her questions.

Okay, she's not taking second thoughts on the evacuation. Saving people isn't her forte, and if the big guy wants to act all heroic, he can go right ahead. Yet, somehow, leaving now is giving her a bad taste. She will be at the exit, waiting and watching as everyone else is running for their lives, and watching out for herself mostly.

Almost everyone is out of the building soon, what will you do next Mr. Robot?]

[It's not like he expects Toga or anyone else in the building to be all heroic, people are naturally self-preserving. And hell he wouldn't consider himself heroic, even if most would consider his action here as such. It's just the right thing to do, and it comes with trying to be a "better" Decepticon, even when most here know nothing about his past.

Although maintaining his magic at this level against a falling wall is... admittedly, an arduous task. He makes sure to hold on until the very last person is out of the building, and then he'll be making his way out of the building before it collapses. At least that's what he'll do next. Releasing his magic, he's about to run to the exit, but unfortunately, Soundwave's unlucky streak continues even today. That's when the minatour's does yet another lucky boulder toss and... hits Soundwave squarely at his back before he could reach the exit. The building then collapses with him still inside.

Is he dead? Well, he's a mech. Don't hold your breath. Because soon enough, something's moving within the debris after the dust clears off.]

[If the giant weird robot doesn't survive, he's losing a lot of mech points. Everyone is safely evacuated while Toga observes from a safe distant. In her defense, the mech saved her, not sure exactly why, but she can figure it out later. The earth continues to vibrate as the structure slowly crumbles. Toga's first priority is her own safety, then almost everything else. She's able to glimpse at the chaos, somehow this feels all familiar.

The final rumble quakes and down the building goes, raining on the mech. After the building falls and the debris settle, Toga slowly takes a step closer, and another one, trying to detect any life under the rubble. Is he alive? He's a giant robot, why shouldn't he be? Plus, he's useful long as he's alive, right?]

You alive in there?

[Just in case... Toga extends one hand out, attempting to synch her mind with whatever magic this world blessed her with, flexing her fingers. It's like learning to use your quirk all over again. One rock moves, her face is beaming.]

Look, I got it! [Kinetic magic isn't bad. She begins to sweep one rock in the air and away. This feels harder than it looks.]

[Great job, Toga. One rock isn't enough to free the mech trapped underneath immediately. But as more and more of the rocks and debris moved, Soundwave eventually emerges out of the rubble, sputtering and hacking, unclogging the dust caught in his ventilation system, before pushing himself up to his knee. Why yes, the mech is indeed coughing.

He's alive, and... well, physically, he doesn't appear all that great

What happened to him here is nothing to sneeze at but normally he'll come out with some minimal and easily fixable damage, maybe a few dents, scratches, and a cracked visor. Here, given his weakened state, it's a lot worse. His natural armored plating could barely withstand a full building falling on top of him. Miraculously, his limbs and everything is still intact, aside from a couple of exposed wires. His back suffered the most due to the boulder, and he's bleeding glowing pinkish-purple blood all over his body and some oozing out of his cracked faceplate. Dazed, he looks down at himself to inspect the extent of the injuries, before both his arms dropped to his sides with an annoyed huff.

In spite of the injuries, he's used to suffering a lot worse than this; it's not anywhere as worse as when he lost two of his arms from a point-blank explosion, but still... it's annoying. Only because he will have to look for a mechanic or healer...

He'll eventually realize that Toga is standing in front of him. The surprise on him would be obvious, if his face wasn't fully covered by the faceplate]

Thought you escaped. I wasn't expecting you to return here. [He coughs a little some more, before getting on to his feet on his own.]

[[ooc: Cont. from here.]]

[Meanwhile, Toga is glowing with delight and blushing constantly. Cupid is allowed to strike people with arrows, it seems fair for Toga to stab. Listen, Toga can rescue, depends on who. She remembers the last time she nearly died to save that one broker guy ~~whatwashisnameagain?~~, well, same guy who introduced her to the LoV. Then Twice... let's not bring that up for a while.

Toga returns her knife back to her thigh. Soon Deku, Cupid will strike. ]

Since you're the expert in this field, I'll leave the leading to you.

[Which is true, as Toga squeeze his hand. He's so warm. Don't mind the sparkle in her eyes, she's trying to resist, okay???]

Oh, that's no problem~ [Holding hands, sure! No biggie.] Come on, tell me, what to do~~

[This is not what he asked for today. He can feel her gaze practically sparkling at him and he wants to shiver and pull away from her... There is nothing comfortable about her at all-

But he's not really interested in getting into a confrontation with her right now. If she can keep it together enough maybe they can get the rescues done with minimal damage and that's the important thing. Just please don't try to stab him. He's already tense enough because he doesn't trust her.

Don't squeeze his hand...!!! Don't look at him like that!!]

Ahh- Just... Stay close to me so the magic doesn't fade out. We have to find anyone who might need rescuing from under the rubble and stone. The minotaur that charged through here left a lot of damage.

[He swallows... Then going to move towards the roads where the damage is. Hand in hand... Ghhhh.]

[It doesn't matter how Izuku feels, Himiko is living her moment. She's humming happily, grinning ear to ear, her fangs are visible, and their hands are locked. Her knife beckons, and surprisingly resisting (rolled a 15) for now.]

Oh, you want me closer Deku~? [Don't tempt her, they are holding hands, she rocking from her side to prove a point, closer and closer. She doesn't mind, they have before (during license exams). Still, Toga presses an index finger just below her lip.]

That thing is coming back. [Call it a villain hunch. Much as she love to watch Izuku fight with a minotaur ~~and possibly bruise up~~, the hand lock spell is there, which means bad for Toga. Damn. Speaking of...] Hey, what's your magic Deku? Did you get to keep your super awesome strength?

[Yep, there are signs a couple of boulders flew to this direction and left some heavy damages from piles of rubbles to homes collapsing.]

[Well, at least someone's having the time of their life! Izuku on the other hand is getting a bit of anxious sweat. He said the wrong thing and he has to resist the urge to just put a hand on her shoulder and push her to stay at arm's length.]

Ah- I- Just stay right where you are! Don't get any closer!

[He frowns, looking over his shoulder towards the path they had come. He can feel the ground rumbling as the minotaur slowly trudges closer.]

... I. [He can't just outright tell her what kind of magic he has, can he? He shouldn't because she might use information against him. That's a top ten rule as a hero!] I have a different type of magic now, that's all...!

[That's all he's going to stay for now...!! Because the rumbling continues and suddenly a hoof appears.]

Hurry, duck into the side road for now.

[Come on Deku, there's no such thing as Heroes and Villains rules here. She will find out sooner or later.

You know what's worst than a giant cow marching his own parade? Ruining a good date. The first vibration from the ground sends shiver up her spine, and Toga is cursing under her breath. Mix emotions clouding her judgement, whether to stab the thing's eye or hide. Only Izuku's voice of reason clears her mind, for now. Yeah, she doesn't want to try to take this thing down yet. Too many variables to consider and her magic isn't quite mastered yet either.

This is Toga, she can glance for an escape route if she needs it. She's a master of disappearance. The spot Izuku suggests isn't bad, and goes along with him. She tugs Deku's hand for fair warning before yanking him.

Toga can erase her presence, and bet she will slap her only free hand over Deku's mouth and nose once both are off the road and from view. Sorry Deku, hold your breath and don't make a sound. Make a sound, Toga will flash a scary glare.]

[Yes, but that doesn't mean he can let go of his ideals that easily. But right now maybe he should get used to it a little bit. He'll have to!

He lets out a quick yelp just as he's tugged and at first his reaction was going to be to pull away from her in defense (and to be honest he's still a little creeped out by her!) but he has to tense up and press his back up against the stone of the wall just as the large minotaur stomps closer. He makes a short noise and then Toga's hand is slapping over his mouth.]

Hmnmm!?!

[He can't help the way his face heats up in frustration and embarrassment. Cheeks flaring and looking at her through his peripherals! He's almost ready to yank her hand away and he grips her wrist and holds it there-- Not moving!

But... The minotaur's large hoof slams down. Just barely missing them as it meanders by loudly...

Shhhh. Be quiet, let it pass...! Don't freak out!!!]

[To be honest, she was quite surprised how easy it was to handle Deku. Perhaps fear played a role? Life? Concern? Lack of strength? Guess strength wasn't his magic here.

Every step the minotaur had taken left rippled vibration from the ground. Toga's eyes fixed from the corner, head and body pressed against some stone, imagined herself melted one with the stone. If looks could kill, that minotaur would had dropped dead right there, her eyes remained fixed on the beast with a cold stare. Why hasn't someone killed the stupid thing already? (Not like Toga can take it down, no like this.) The thing stupidly reeked of farm, gross.

All this happened while Deku looked all red and flustered, damn he looked so hot when restrained. And he's holding her other hand~~~~~!

The minotaur barely passed them, but they're not out of the woods yet. The thing still lingered further down the road, like taking its sweet time on a joy walk. Toga's grip on Izuku's mouth loosened for every step as the creature ventured further away from them, her hand mildly shaken, finally inhaled some air as if she merged out of the water, and sighed.]

My life flashed before my eyes!

[Her grin and flustered self returned. Suddenly, someone was in a good mood.]

[Despite it all he really doesn't want either of them to get splattered under a minotaur's hoof.

But as soon as the minotaur passes and her grip loosens he's quick to shove her back to arm's length. If it weren't for the magic he needed he would have let go of her hand ages ago!]

That's fine-! We just need to stay out of its way until we find the people trapped under the rocks.

[... He just desperately wants to keep this all business. He doesn't trust her at all. But the spell is in place so he has to do this. Quickly.

He'll be the one to tug her along this time. Making their way down the other path safely until they can roundabout to the damaged area. There he can see the rubble and rock. The broken buildings and statues. He points to a section of a broken house.]

There, we're checking there first!

[HOW RUDE. Pushing off her after what she did. Still, Toga finds it strange he didn't try to use magic or something. Maybe it wasn't the right time. Don't mind Toga, she observes everything down to the sweaty hand. Despite it all, she's still grinning cheekily like any school girl crush, tiny fangs peeking from her lips and all.

He tugs, she follows this time. She doesn't mind one bit, watching a little bit of his back and head, perfect vial spots-- control yourself Toga! She's biting her long sleeve on her wrist as they're walking.]

If there's a problem, get rid of it. [Toga mumbles audible, puffing her cheeks as they venture. It makes sense to her. There are some damages, most of the debris looks like the victims were crushed, which makes Toga doubt any survivors.

Then, there is a small plea for help coming from one of the damaged house with a pile of debris. One arm reaches from the gap between the rocks, waving.]

Hey, Izuku. [She tugs his hand, you hear that, right?]
