Normally, Eri never strayed too far from the dens that were further on ahead in the dragonlands. She knew of the potential dangers from being too far. Despite the barrier that the Matriarch placed around her domain, it only served to alert the flock, not guarantee instant protection. Should something ever happen to the child, the mother of dragons would not be able to reach her in time. All it’d take is just a second too late, and Eri would have all that effort in keeping her safe be done for naught.

So for a while, she stuck to precautions. Enough time passed without any incident to note, however, and with it came this false sense of security. Many of the dragons have even grown rather lax. Katsuki and Deku still haven’t returned, but perhaps just this once, it should be okay to venture off on her own...

What a mistake that was. Of all the days that it could’ve happened, it just had to be on the day she mustered enough courage to explore alone. Eri was in the middle of looking for bugs under rock piles when she’d suddenly felt an unfamiliar presence approach. Fear immediately rocketed up to her throat, and she quickly whirled around to see someone that.. looked similar to Deku. Was it Deku? No, it isn’t Deku. But then who.. is he...?

..He wasn’t alone, though from the sounds of it, he wasn’t affiliated with them either. A group of bandits must have secretly followed after Yamikumo’s trails for the best possible route into the dragonlands, searching for the Dragon King on all the wanted posters. 

Eri’s panicked mind struggled to pick up the words being exchanging between all the humans. The only thing that did register was the rogue giving her a stern command, one that promised protection. Something about him felt as though he meant it, and so the little child blindly placed her trust in him. Body trembling, she hid behind the stranger. Those men... Do they also want her?

Suddenly, all but one, pale blue-white budgie decided to take flight and leave a lone high schooler sprawled across the ground. It takes a minute a two, but he’s eventually started to pick himself back up. He’s got quite the smell on him from all the birb waste left behind on his clothes.

We’re back to one lone budgie, my dudes.

❛ it’s possible i’m just fooling myself, but i’m willing to take the risk. ❜ (we blowing up this facility boi)

[ *     DEXTER PROMPTS   !  ]

Yayoi was probably just as much of a madman as everyone else here in this place when it came to achieving what she wanted. No matter what, she was determined to take down every last one of Kaiju’s facilities in order to demolish the entire organization, even if it meant doing it on her own, suffering from whatever they might do to her if ever and whenever they capture her. Not to mention, the facilities are segregated depending on which council member they’re run under, meaning Kanna doesn’t even know if this young hero’s infiltrated any other facilities not run by Lady Tanaka.

So just how many times does this make it? The number of times she’s been caught by the organization?

“..You’re insane. It’s almost a surprise that you aren’t one of Kaiju’s products.” The agent sighed. It’s a good thing she was the one temporarily in charge of this facility at the moment. Otherwise, Lady Tanaka would’ve probably just decided to eat Yayoi up and end her mission right here. No, she needed Yayoi. She’s proven herself enough for Kanna to start expecting more out of her. 

That’s why, once she was sure that the cameras had completely clouded over from her Quirk-induced cold air, she finally took a gentle hold of Yayoi’s hand and held it in her own. Her finger began to draw on the other’s palm. Numbers...? Directions?... No, coordinates.

“These are all the coordinates to every single one of the Kaiju facilities overlooked by Kaiju Council Member Widow, also known as Tanaka Akane. I’ve.. never been to the other Councils’ facilities enough times to memorize their coordinates, but at the very least, this is enough of a start. The three taps in the middle of your palm is when I’ve finished one coordinate and moved on to the next. I’ll cycle through them all as many times as it takes for you to memorize it, so do your best to engrave them all into your brain.”

She sat there, leg tucked under the rear with her hands on her lap, tracing and cycling and letting Yayoi know when she’d start the cycle all over again. Yet, at some point, she ended up slowing to a pause, taking the hero’s hand with both of hers and bowing her head to bring her forehead to it.

“… I beg of you. Get rid of Lady Tanaka’s authority by destroying all of her facilities. Doing this would finally give me the opportunity to be free, and if I’m freed, then.. then I’d finally be able to go against them, go against what I was born to be. Please, hero…”“I just.. want for all this to be over.”

“What are you fighting for?”

[ Villain or Hero Edition: ]

The question made him stop from walking away. Funny how a counterpart of the one the people that drove him into this corner would ask him that question. In truth, there were a lot of things that came to mind. Some were selfish: like self-worth, for instance, or at least a sense of purpose and usefulness in a world that told him he had none for it. That, and to prove that they were wrong. That they were all wrong. That heroes aren’t just made from Quirks and popularity or how fast one could climb the ranks. If he couldn’t prove it them by becoming a hero, he could prove it as the shadow of one-that-could-have-been.

He’ll show the world that not all Quirks are worth one’s weight in gold, and with it, perhaps spark newfound heroism in the hearts of those who were told they couldn’t. Quirkless and Quirks alike.

Turning around, he gave Bakugou a firm look, one that held fierce determination in his eyes. There were a lot of things that came to mind…

“For the future of this world’s values, and the people who deserved another chance.”..But all that came out was something as simple as this.

To think this would’ve happened... All the preparations he considered, all the plans he’d thought up on a whim... Suddenly it all didn’t matter. Now there he was, staring up at this doppelganger of a kid he had gotten a hold of long ago.

..He couldn’t help but feel a smile inch into the corner of his lips.Finally. 

 “..I’ve finally caught you.”

His inspiration is now within his grasp.

"This color suits you."

[King of Fools by Amanda Foody Starter List: ]

Kodai found herself blinking a few times before looking down at her latest project. It was a pretty, soft-cream sun dress, its flowy fabric starting just under her chest. A plain design, all things considered, except apparently it seemed to complement her eyes. The real attention-grabber, though, was Monoma complimenting her out of the blue like this here in the lounge. After all, she was only asking the other girls on their opinion.Maybe Monoma was good in fashion, too?

“..Mm.” Of course, and as usual, Kodai did nothing but make a solemn nod in response before turning her attention back to the other girls. She listened in on their exchange in opinions, suggestions, so on and so forth... Although at some point, she did turn back towards Monoma when they were all busy talking among each other. 

“Does it.. really suit me?”

Wuh oh. That tone in Mikumo’s voice was all it took for Jack to start thinking that perhaps he’s done fucked up somewhere along the lines. Poor guy can’t even try to flee should things go south, he’ll just pass out trying.

“It’s-- Well-- Okay in my defense, my blood sugar was running low, see, and well, all Auntie Inko had on her at the time were just poptarts, so...”

“Seems like sailors are afraid of us.” // >:3

[ Mermaid/Merman Starters ]

“As they should be, if they know what’s good for them.”An irritated huff of air bubbles flitted up behind her as the siren eventually curved back down into the ocean waters. She should’ve known this other mer’s definition of ‘fun’ wasn’t how she had imagined it. In fact, it was careless. Dangerous, even. To think they’d expose themselves to the scaleless so casually like this… Turns out Yuu must’ve been right about refusing to belong in any pods, after all. Her trails of bubbles eventually led up to where the mermaid has stopped. She sunk past a few corals teeming with life, and finally sulked where her body landed. 

“..Is this just how all the other mer are like out there? All devious?? All willing to play with stingers??? This is why I stay away from scaleless…! All they do is bring trouble!”

Yuu was ready to claw at her own throat, fingers itching to curl as they covered her face. She hated using her powers, hated the kind of attention it brought her. But in an effort to control herself, she just.. hugged her own chest. The venom in her tone quickly ended up dying down. And after a moment, a drop of pearl fell from the corner of her eye to sink into the sand.

“..I thought you were going to show me something fun…”

“Ruuuune... *sniffle*”

At this point, Kiyo’s just draped himself over the table to wallow over his miseries. Not too long ago, he was betting that he could prove he had a bit of Irish in him from his father’s side. Now he’s become a sobbing mess over the tribulations in his life after having several shots of rum.

“I’m trying so hard, I really, really am. You know that, right? But I still can’t find a job, and doing temp work or community services can only do so much for paying off just rent. I can’t even begin to put a dent on my college tuition. Hell, I’un’ even know if I’m even happy with the majors I picked. I honestly think I’m still considered undeclared, and I’m already on my 4th year!!”

“I’m nothin’ but lies, Rune. Lies. I wanted t’ travel the world and become a hero and put smile on people’s faces but I failed. All of my cows have been dishonored......”

“Please don’t look.”

[ Please Don’t Starters: ]

“Ya---” Dia aimed to reach out an place a hand on Yayoi’s shoulder, but was stopped by the student’s plea. Confusion arose, especially now that they could no longer afford to ignore her being like this.

“... Yayoi-chan...”Their frown remained out of worry, but Dia’s expression only softened as they crouched down there behind Yayoi at eye level. Their tone matched their demeanor, a touch of care and tenderness in their voice.

“Please... Let me help you...? Not just as a hero, but as a friend? I want to know what’s wrong...”

‘ i really don’t need to get any medical attention. honestly, i’m feeling better already. ’

[ Close Shaves Starters: ]

Todoroki could be right, it wasn’t like he’d know for certain if the blow to the head was severe enough to warrant immediate medical attention. Both of them have been through worse, anyways; it was going to take more than debris from above to bring either of them down. Even so, Deku couldn’t help but remain on edge. He can’t have one going dead weight on the other. Not to mention, both he and Todoroki were on a time crunch now. That villain must’ve known what he was doing when he destroyed those scaffoldings. Finding the others that are part of the mission is just as important, sure, but if they stay down here in this fragile mine shaft any longer, they’ll end up trapped here forever.

“Just.. don’t hide anything from me, okay? If your head feels even the slightest bit wrong from that collapse just now, you gotta let me know.” Worry continued to contort his expression, though he did finally back off after inspecting the other’s head up close for a while. There was fortunately no bleeding, just him being uncertain about any signs of a concussion that Todoroki might not be letting on. Trusting in his companion, Deku stood back up on his feet, then offered a hand for his friend to use to get up.

“No turning back now... Only way out is just to keep on going deeper.” He turned his attention towards the darkness down the tunnel further ahead, the look on his face slowly turning into a frustrated grimace. “That guy must be planning to die here and bring all of us down with him in the process. We need to regroup with the others and get out of here...”

“If you’d like to go somewhere and quietly fuck yourself, I’ll be waiting patiently for your return.”

[ Askbox Meme 034, Nevernight Edition: ]

Yeesh. Deku would be lying if he said he didn’t expect this kind of behavior. He was pretty sure that Yamikumo still held a grudge against him for stabbing an epidural into his back even after all this time since being brought to the hospital. Part of him told himself that he deserved it anyways, but that’s besides the point in why he actually ended up calling him.

“Look, I’m.. not gonna argue, especially since you went out of your way to, uhm.. save me in the first place… I-I can’t actually excuse myself for what I did to you, to be honest, so I’ll.. take the grain of salt.” He scratched the back of his head, then leaned back against the wall in his tiny apartment with a silent, maybe somewhat nervous sigh. “I-I just.. wanted to thank you. Or, well, m-more than that, actually. I-I also wanted to, uhm.. kn-know more about you… Y-You and your situation, I mean…! Ss-Something about it felt like it’d pertain to my, uh.. m-my work field…? s-so…”

“Ho? Well this is certainly a surprise...” Val stared up at the adult with an intrigued look kept on his face. He shifted a little in his binds for just a little moment, then figured to keep himself still in the meantime.
