//Ack I noticed that there's a few things I gotta alter before I continue typing; now that volume 2 of mha's been translated and out... I'll do the other replies soon after retyping my app!

"I hope I can find some cake...!"

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ The brunette traipsed around the kitchen, hoping to find a delicacy that could make her forget the eerie things she experienced there. The food here had never disappointed her, as far as she could recall. It was her s p e c i a l day, after all.

[graevitia]

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ In one way or another, a feeling of peace welled up inside of her once she stepped into the giant library. Comparable to what she deemed at least the size of a ferry, the brunette shifted her gaze around the enormity of literature in awe, completely shocked about the size of the present collection. The facility always managed to surprise her in ways she did not expect.

    Though it was not within her nature to be so fascinated about pages encompassing stories she never had enough time to read about, it seemed to be a different case this time. Scanning through the different available categories, the towering shelves offered various spaces to bury yourself in, ranging from ways to improve your knowledge on several topics to diving straight into the daily life of a hero. Titles she only skimmed over suddenly caught her entire attention, her hands reaching out for so many books as she has n e v e r done before; piling amounts of them from the shelves of her interest.

    The heroine-in-training wasn't aware of what noise she was creating, what with her ambling about and her constant expressions of excitement, eventually causing a mess she did not intend to in the first place. While attempting to reach a book placed too high for her own good, one or another might have heard a loud C R A S H or the sound of something breaking. Escalating as far as having herself asked to be quieter by another stranger, Ochako tumbled back into reality, if one were to take it literally. 

     Hand moving to the back of her head, she was about to confess her ignorance, only pausing as her eyes met with the stranger's, the semblance between him and a certain friend making her think twice before she talked. It was just a misconception, ... the clothing made it clear enough of her, though his name almost slipped from her tongue.

"Aah! Ii- I mean, I'm sorry about that!"

    Flashing an apologetic smile, Ochako snapped out of her imagination, picking up several books, pushing them quickly into the broken shelf. She lifts up a specific one she doesn't even recall the title of, showing it to the stranger as she continues.

"I kinda broke this shelf when I tried to get this one from the top row... I didn't notice I'd be this loud! I promise it won't happen again."

    It would be quicker if they worked t o g e t h e r, she thought, though she dismissed the idea as quickly as it formed, remembering that this wasn't the Iida she knew, but a stranger standing in front of her.

Reserved VS Energetic (graevitia)

Given that an event Laurent had not expected to happen at ALL had happened yesterday - he still felt on edge, his mask threatening to waver and crack just as it had on that said event, and yet: despite the situation being bad, a rare genuine smile played on his face. Knowing that person was there made him determined. More so than usual, anyway: finding a way out was all the more important now. The very reason he’d traveled back in time before and went through those nightmarish five years was to protect the future - both of Yilesse, and his father’s future.

Yet having his emotions on such tenterhooks, as it were, was not something he was enjoying. H-he needed to calm down. How would he think logically on how to best help his father if he wasn’t calm? As such, he had retreated to the ‘library’ of the castle, finding reading the most sensible and logical thing to do to calm himself down - he enjoyed it immensely, after all. ….It was a shame the library didn’t have a cute cat he could pat while he was reading, but that was neither here nor there.

His peaceable reading was cut short, however - on continuous loud noises emitting from the other end of the library. What in Naga’s name was that? He tried to ignore it at first, but the noises simply persevered. Again and again. Sighing, he gently shut the tome he had been reading shut, and headed over to the source of the noise. It seemed to be a rather…curiously energetic madam.

She reminded him of Morgan and her chicanery, somewhat, with the energy and all. Speaking up, his tone was soft, but to the point. " Excuse me. Young madam. I do hate to interrupt your - er - expressively enthusiastic merry-making, but…I am attempting to read and calm myself down. Could you please be a little more quiet? I can hear you from the other end of the library.”

Hopefully, his polite request was reasonable enough.

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ If there was a n y t h i n g she's learnt after experiencing such shock, such fear; such anxiety - it would be to treasure her life as long as she still lived. Nothing in this world promised safety, and above all - did she remember that curiosity might have really killed the cat. Incapable of comprehending anything she saw but the little boy withdrawing his rifle, even thinking that she's imagined him talking, Ochako stammered; tears trickling down her cheeks in relief - maybe also still due to the terrifying fear; dropping to her weak knees in gratitude.

"I... I..."

    At some point she stopped expecting an apology, or rather, she completely forgot, deeply shaken by fear, which did not just - as the threat did - subside. Her gratefulness to him for sparing her life was great enough to refrain her from doing anything she deemed to be superfluous - even breathing was difficult; worrying that it will reveal something she shouldn't. For a while, the silence was replaced with the faint sobbing of a lost teen, echoing even in the corridors.

    She only managed to regain her composure as she spot the stranger pointing at the knife he could not reach; his monotonous glance directed at her. The brunette almost let the cake slip from her memory; pushing herself up after a moment of confusion.

"...Oh. Right..."

    Her dried eyes felt somewhat sore, though knowing that it wasn't within his intention to actually kill her but rather the cake he couldn't reach, she picked up the knife, slicing the delicious pastry into two big pieces, one for him - the other for herself.

"Here you go."

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ After various failed attempts to escape, Ochako finally decided to postpone her activity to a few weeks later - in fear of possibly straining her body to the point she'll be unable to walk. Theoretically, she should be able to carry someone over the fence with her quirk, the only risk being her own well-being, which, of course, is then again dependent on the amount of power she dares to consume. The fence was just too high, too dangerous, and as of now, the situation appears to be 100% hopeless.

    A sigh escaped her lips, gaze shifting from the insurmountable fence to the green sea of trees. Come to think about it, she's never explored the outside of the facility before. Not that the area was notably big, but the forest had piqued her interest the time she laid her eyes on them; quite big in comparison to what she imagined. It would be the only connection to the outside world if she ever considered giving up, which is admittedly not the most pleasant thought. However, the brunette was lured in quickly by the peaceful ambiance of the shades of green, ambling peacefully among them, forgetting all her worries once fully embraced by mother nature's arms. 

    Trees after trees, she managed to not only calm her mind but also reduce the physical burdens, the forest aiding her in a way she did not expect it would have. Her smile only disrupted as the shadow of something unknown appeared in the distance, the discovery distracting her ultimately from the illusion of having already left the facility. Moving a bit faster - probably due to her sheer curiosity she does not recall to be able to control - she expected it to be a monster or something of that sort, relieved by the fact it was just a crouching boy around her age. Wondering what it is he has been doing, she walked a little bit closer, incapable of prioritizing her own safety. Eventually approaching the younger teen from the side, she noticed the various bandages on his face, concluding from his appearance that he couldn't possibly be a threat.

"Hey, are you alright? Did something happen?"

[graevitia]

//i'm gonna go to sleep but before I do so ummm, I think I've got everything done today! tumblr doesn't like me so I published the things that apparently weren't put on the queue instead. Aaand, uh. In case any of those starters sucked, I could type up a new one... The only things I've got in my drafts now are opens, so if I've not replied to you yet it should be on my queue! That's it, I guess. Also, merry christmas to all those celebrating it!

"GHH!" 

     » `⋯「☄」⇢ At the very least, she collided safely against the wall - if one could see it that way. Though she doesn't remember why, Ochako started apologizing; the stranger deserved an explanation in a way or a another, she thought.

"Sorry for that, I was trying to train for ---"

    Her head's spinning and the feeling of extreme nausea she tried to suppress (but obviously failed to) were returning, those she were so used to - quickly covering her mouth in hope it just won't happen this time. The only word she was able to utter was something incoherent before ceasing to speak completely - overwhelmed by uncomfortable feelings.

"--escap---."

     ☩—-    He shouted, thankful for the surprise as he jumped out of the way of the girl, watching as she crashed into the floor. Rin almost felt bad for her, but instead of voicing his concern for her, he yelled. “Oi oi oi, watch where you’re going, Jesus!” he spat in annoyance.

[graevitia]

    "Watch out!!" ...Heroine-in-training incoming.

[graevitia]

    » `⋯「☄」⇢  Since her discovery of the rec room, she has always enjoyed going to the place of her favor again, be the occasion her interest in meeting new people or simply being able to watch movies on the massive television screen - all of it had only brought her joy until now.

    Opportunities such as these were rare ones, and she'd gladly join, even if the brunette has never played video games before - or ever heard of one of those the stranger named.

"Yup!! Here!!"

Ochako and Pit -- Game Master

 ⇒ ☮ ⇔ ☠ ⇐     ”Oh, my Goddess!” he gasped, staring up at the massive television screen that was before him. It was massive! Even in comparison to Palutena’s fountain that could see all, this was truly a delicacy belonging only to humans.

   And, beside that screen, was none other than a video game console. “Alright! I could get use to this!” With great enthusiasm, he approached the console and started to sort through the games available to the public.

 ⇒ ☮ ⇔ ☠ ⇐     ”Call of Duty, Super Mario, Metroid, Guitar Hero…” Turning to look over his shoulder, he called out to anyone could hear him. “Does anyone wanna play two player?”

    » `⋯「☄」⇢  By the end of the day, Ochako realized she could adapt herself more and more to her new life. Be it the unalterable fact that she was abducted or the high electric fences around this place preventing escape, all of it seemed to be compensated by the other, petite things this little world offered. That doesn't mean she was comfortable with having her freedom stripped away like that - she just accepted, tried to see the better side of something as horrible, in hope of making it more tolerable for herself.

    The entire story about being (emotionally? physically?) linked to someone was something else, however. Even the word 'Abnormal' didn't cover the least of what she felt about this situation, somehow tending to be a bit more scary and unpleasant. It was something she couldn't get used to no matter how much she tried to cope with it; she figured; knowing that someone else will share their emotions with her as vice versa. Whether or not the previously painful scar around her wrist had been a bother was still to determine - in a way it did look cool, though it's not something she'd want to have with her permanently.

    Being too afraid of whoever her partner could have been or whatever influence they would have on her, she's avoided her room throughout the day, somehow managing to keep herself entertained and distracted enough to forget the actual deal until she wrapped her hand around the door knob. "..." Hesitatingly, the brunette managed to breathe in and out slowly, pushing the door open at last.

the small things ∞ lacie

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ Ochako was quite pleased with the discovery of the rec room, feeling almost as if she was blessed with extreme luck for once despite being involved in this calamity. There were, however, a couple of things that came to her awareness - such as the present quiescence which was more or less a surprise, making her think twice before actually ambling into the cluttered room full of movie disks and stacks of games.

    Glancing from one end to the other, her eyes tried to block out the messy abundance found in this room - if video games, movies, tv programs and the like counted as some - evidence of the number of people present before her arrival. Pool tables, dart games and board games like chess were all available, some messier than the other, almost seeming like their players threw a fit before leaving. Everything appeared pretty fun and nice, and mostly just normal – only did the gigantic TV catch her eye. Its screen covering probably twice her height felt as massive as the ones she could only spot on the main streets' skyscrapers; such impressive electronic devices she’d n e v e r imagined to be able to see from such a close distance. Gaping at the amazing display of what she believes to be her savior after every failed attempt of escape, the brunette dashes rapidly towards the ever-changing screen, disregarding any possibilities of blocking someone from watching the airing show.

"Woaah!!"

    Slowly, her face lit up with excitement, blue orbs widening as a smile too great for her started to widen – movements all giddy, surfacing the growing impatience within her. Immediately shifting her gaze from the big screen to the sofa, she'd yet to make another discovery; all of the joy diminishing within seemingly a second. A stranger, unsure of what to make of their expression, probably one of anger, glared at the young teen, forcing her to flash an apologetic smile, cracking a faint laugh. 

"Ah! Hey - sorry about blocking your view. Mind if join you?"

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ Silence and boredom are two things that don't go well together. In fact, they tend to corrupt her every time she is confronted with them, especially when they're refusing to leave even after a couple of hours. One thing was clear: she doesn't know what she wanted to do, neither does she know why she did this in the first place. Whether it was a plan to make things better (worse), or simply an act of messing around to suppress whatever was left from those feelings she tried to deny, Ochako gulped, staring at the mess she's probably made.

    The entire kitchen was littered with indiscernible remains of what once appeared to be something edible. Eggshells found on the counter, their content still dripping and spreading across the cold surface stuck together with singular grains of rice; a sack of vegetables and the like which used to be full and maybe enough for a few months covered the previously spic and span floor. Liquids - water, vinegar, soy sauce, oil, something poignant - found across the kitchen, dripping even from the ceiling turned what was previously a heaven to many into a complete disaster. It wasn't intentional, she'd say, but if it wasn't, what else could she say? Blinking at the impossible chaos she's created, she bit her lip, knowing that this will d e f i n i t e l y be the end of her in case someone notices. And as if the worst hadn't just happened when she realized her lack of time for cleaning this entire room before being discovered, footsteps, barely audible, approached this place. She glanced around in panic, as if clutching onto her jacket could make her less suspicious; the only things she was able to utter when the stranger's silhouette became visible being incoherent babbling.

"Sorry, if, uuh, it's a bit messy in here."

"Y'know, I just wanted to try something and then, uh, yeah..."

[graevitia]

//Um... it appears to me that mobile tumblr doesn't like me + I've been busier than I expected to be so here's two things

[graevitia]

    » `⋯「☄」⇢ The alluring scent of sweet pastry is what drew her to this place originally. The entire corridor smelled of freshly baked cake, resembling the savory aroma of the bakery she used to visit. It just happened to be her first time exploring this area, before she had been too worried about her unexpected abduction, mind filled mostly with thoughts of nostalgia, fear, if not also hunger. And now, one of those many thoughts running about is being held at gunpoint - exactly alike those scenes you see in action movies and everyday life - not necessarily the coolest situation to be actually involved in, she realized.

    The brunette hasn't even been given enough time as to n o t i c e - the loud beep alerting her only when it was too late - the rifle was already inevitably pointed at her forehead. Sweat breaking out all over her body, Ochako gulped, unable to utter a single word necessary. Raising her hands up, slowly, as to avoid hitting something nonexistent, she felt her intake of breaths quickening. Thinking too much. Shaking in fear. On the verge to burst into tears. She wasn't ready yet. She didn't want to die. 

   "U-uh, he-hey, I can explain this! I-I just wanted to have some cake, that's all...!" Is that really something you can get murdered for?
