Regardless of what you were in the middle of, you and your familiar have been magically pulled into the world of Avalon just above the Bay's waters. After a brief plunge into the Bay, the rush of water filling your ears and soaking up into every creak and crevice of your body, you may need to cough to clear your airways when you rise above the surface. It's still chilly, but not enough that you can't manage on your own. The Lady of the Lake is swimming around under the water, helping to rescue any wayward travelers who look like they're struggling in the water. This month's helpers are giant pillow jellies, a species of jellyfish that is capable of ballooning itself at the surface to create bouncy pads for characters to hop across to the shore, should they choose or not be able to swim. They come in a variety of bioluminescent colors, but do not seem to be very talkative even to animal magic users. Those who try may find themselves being ignored, even if they hear the jellies talking amongst themselves about this and that. If anyone tries to ask the Lady of the Lake for directions, she will direct you to Archimedes at the Rent-a-Ride. The shores themselves are littered with new arrivals complaining their way up a staircase carved into the walls of the White Cliffs. There is no railing, so be careful, but if you do fall, be prepared for a mysterious sand hand to reach out of the side of the cliffs to catch you. The hand will pat you atop the head twice before retreating back into the wall. This is the Cliff Beast; despite the name, he is quite friendly. *Reminder: Your character's familiar may or may not be with your character in their initial plunge. If the familiar isn't partial to water, it may meet your character on the beach or sit atop their head while they swim. Or if they are, they might splash about and swim alongside your character. Familiars have different personalities and body specs and we leave those up to the players. B ⦿ The Caravan to Camelot Once everyone is wrangled up to the top of the White Cliffs, the handsome owner of the Rent-a-Ride, Archimedes, will distribute smart phones and a pair of special ear buds (the supplier was out of the regular ones) and tell them to "Check the Shit Box." The "Shit Box" refers to wardrobe more formally known as the Wardrobe of Finding, a hammerspace-like wardrobe that opens to each person's items and pets when the person touches the handle. It was recently enchanted by Merlin to prevent people from having to fish their waterlogged possessions and pets out of the water with them. From there, Archimedes directs everyone to settle in groups into modernized carriages pulled by horses and gives them a basic explanation of why and how they've been brought to Avalon: The rest of the universe is frozen in time and your character has been brought here by a familiar that was able to bond with them. They'll have to learn magic to help save their own world from destruction, but first they've got to get them to Camelot. It is here that you have the first opportunity to decide who they will be in their new home. You'll have about an hour to wander around here, meet and greet, and pet the horses before it's time to go. These carriages use fae technology that combats weight, so your character will be able to get in regardless of whether they're light as a feather or weigh two tons. The carts have air conditioning when it's hot, heating when it's cold, and a mystical shield to protect from bugs. There is also a mini-bar that pops out of the console with nip bottles. Characters can use their smartphones to connect to Camelot's internet service, avalononline (AOL), to chat with other characters, watch dumb videos, learn about the world, contact Camelot Support (they'll answer any questions they can for you, from how to use a smart phone to where to find quests and resources to learn more about your magic). Be careful if you decide to use your phones while in the caravan-- if you don't use those earbuds and start forcing everyone to listen to your nonsense, Archimedes may make you walk. C ⦿ The Red Spring The journey from the White Cliffs to the City of Camelot is a long one, and the first evening you arrive you'll end up spending at the Red Spring, a booming resort town. Because of the volume of new arrivals and vacationers, inn rooms are assigned two-to-a-room. The rooms have two twin beds, a bathroom, a mini-fridge and microwave, and a TV equipped with a couple of entertaining video games and a few free movies. If you don't want to relax in the room, try taking a dip in the spring for another chance to meet your fellow travelers. The waters have restorative properties that help horses and travelers recover quickly when drunk. It is known to relieve stress, improve energy levels, and mildly accelerate healing. It may be a little chilly when you get out though, so make sure you don't slip rushing back indoors when you get out! The springs are also home to a large training grounds just outside town limits, where there are teachers who will teach basic magic safety and help you discover what kind of magic you have together with other new arrivals. Try target practice, obstacle courses, meditation circles, and other ways to try to figure out just what you can do... if you didn't already have an accidental discovery on the ride there. After the new arrivals come in, they'll find that this month they came in on the middle of a rather tumultuous time... people are arguing and debating about a future decision to be made. King Arthur recently tried to negotiate with Celliwig's people to open the doors to Camelot, but they refused, and the people have been left with a decision: 1. attempt long-distance, slow wooing of Queen Elphame via the Elphame Traders of the next couple of months, 2. attempt to prove a balanced and deeper understanding of the need for both pure and impure hearts by suggesting an acceptance of trials from Celliwig, or 3. band together under Camelot's flag to invade Celliwig. Celliwig is a place of communication between Elphame and Camelot that bypasses the need for weeks of dangerous, often fatal travel, so the choice is very important in regards to how Camelot both presents itself to the fae people in the future. To that end, people with strong beliefs about particular choices have arranged gatherings to draw people in to hear their perspectives on what the choice should be. A ⦿ Honey Over Vinegar A wide variety of people have sided with this group, including the Elphame Traders, as cutting Celliwig off from them would mean a much harder journey each month to the city of Camelot. (Though commerce always does find a way.) This group is hosting a Tree-Picking Tournament! Of course, the trees to be picked are out in the farmlands, and members of the lobbying group will be giving people free one-use Farm Totems to get to the tournament. The trees in this grove are a little different than normal trees, however. For one, they don't bear fruit. This is Camelot's cookie orchard, composed of special fairy tree hybrids that grow a variety of sweet treats on their branches instead of fruits. There are your usual chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies, but also little puff-like wedding cookies on bushes or checkboard cookies blossoming out of stems instead of flowers. There are even some trees that have clusters of miniature French macarons! The best part, at the end when you turn in your cookies for the count and get your participation prize (and bonus pamphlet about how slow and steady wins the race), you can totally keep and eat them, so be careful not to drop them! How you get them down from the tree is up to you, of course. Try some magic, or maybe just some regular old tree-shaking will do the trick.. just be careful you don't accidentally knock down any wasp nests. Those stings will hurt bad! B ⦿ A Balanced Approach The party of people who want to try to woo Celliwig over to smooth things over see this little political gathering with cookie-based bribery and quickly fashion their own event to make sure the fanfare isn't all for just the one idea. To gather people in to hear their side of the story, this group has decided to host a bug catching contest! Head out into those flower fields between Camelot and the Red Springs that are now thriving thanks to April's plentiful rains. Whether you use a net or figure out how to use your magic to get the bugs, it's how many you catch, not what kinds you catch that count-- so make it fast and make it plentiful! And at the end of the day, what you choose to do with your captured bugs is up to you. Crush them or free them, keep them or eat them, whatever it is you want to do... ultimately, all moral choices are valid, right? So let's go along with what Celliwig wants! Don't forget that May is the season of the frog, however, and you'll be in competition with a variety of sentient and wise members of the Frog Tribe, a group of bipedal frogs who live in the southernmost part of the lake and come up to the flowerfields to stick their tongues out for some delicious bug treats. They have no problem sticking their tongues right into your captured bug nest, hopping on heads to steal your catches, and do all kinds of crazy interferences like snipping belts and tonguing ankles to trip people. You may want someone to watch your back for this event, lest you get done in by a hopper. C ⦿ A Show of Strength The more war-hungry citizens of Camelot seek to go to war. This whole issue will be over if Celliwig itself isn't the one in charge of communication and it's just made directly between Elphame and Camelot, rather than having a mediator who refuses to mediate. They believe that a show of strength is the only way to solve this problem, and as such, they'll be demonstrating that the greatest rewards come from strength by organizing an expedition to a cave at the base of the Ash Mountains. Taking a path squarely between the Dusklight Woods and the edge of the Lands of Rot to the base of the Ash Mountains, this expedition will lead into a cave known as the Giant Cave. It's a pretty on-the-nose name, since it really is a big cave. One of the cool things about this cave is that it's filled with geodes. Those who have enough strength can use provided pickaxes and drills to dig up their own crystals and gold, both great for jewelry and enchanting. In particular, there is a large amount of: • Rose quartz: dark mages can make their love spells much more powerful and healers can use this to enhance spells that soothe anxieties and self-doubt • Amethyst: siphoners increase the potency of counter-curses and light mages will find this stone makes their hard light shields stronger than ever • Agate: strengthen cognitive abilities like post-cognition for a clearer picture of what happened by enhancing perception, and death mages will find they're able to extend their possession times by about 30 minutes by using an agate to stablize their aura • Moonstones: will increase navigation as a traveler's protection for kinetic users-- no longer will you risk tripping over a rock while going at enhanced speeds, or can be traded to fairies to potentially bring down a steep price to something more reasonable • Black tourmaline: a crystal that shields from opposition/negativity-- for technomancers and elementalists, this means that technology is more likely to side with them over another technomancer, or elementalists will find that when using opposing elements, theirs will come out stronger-- like water vs fire, electric vs rock, etc. • Hematite: can soothe blood, leaving it a good tool to enhance animal and blood magic-- animals may trust you more readily by having a calming effect on them, and blood mages may find that they heal more readily after using their abilities • Boji stone: alchemists will find that this is a good stabilizer for for particularly volatile potion combinations, and the properties of this stone leaves green mages to sense new types of plants they haven't yet encountered in passing, even if they're not looking at them It's not particularly a contest in this case-- you can keep and use what you want, and this show of strength has given you more power than ever, so why not consider the same concept for how to deal with our unneighborly neighbors in Celliwig? It may be sweaty business, but surely hitting some rocks will show you the value of strength! With the surprisingly tame day in the Giant Cave, one would think that the Ash Mountains were something of a safe place. No one really bothered the travelers, but that's because no one had been home at the time. as it turns out, the Giant Cave is home to a giant... douchebag of a minotaur. Not a giant, despite the name. His name is Simon and he doesn't like to share, and now that a bunch of people have gone and taken his rocks (he didn't even know there were crystals inside, nor does he do anything with them). Now he has to take his revenge, regardless of not knowing who actually took the crystals that were never really his to begin with, they just happened to be in rocks near where he sleeps. A ⦿ A Stone's Throw from Revenge The minotaur is a very instinctive creature, and his instincts say that the people of Camelot, the nearest settlement, are the ones who need to be punished for this. He uses his superhuman strength to drag huge rocks and boulders all the way to the north-east edge of Camelot, seemingly for no reason, until he's got practically a wall built. At which point he starts picking them up, spinning, and then vaulting the rocks into Camelot's buildings. You may find yourself inside of one of those buildings and scrambling to check if everyone and yourself is okay, or perhaps you're rushing out to stop the minotaur from throwing another. Either way, it's a sudden attack and you're going to have to act fast. Trying to attack the minotaur will be difficult, since it has superhman strength and durability, sharp horns atop its head, and can smell you coming from a mile away. Get creative, and stop the minotaur before it's too late! B ⦿ There's Safety in Numbers Once the minotaur's attacks stop, it flees to recover its wounds, promising it will come back to destroy Camelot once and for all. It's a time for reprieve and to help clean up the damage. Use your magic to help clean up broken buildings and structures, or heal and help others who were injured in the sudden, mostly unprovoked attack. Many of the uninjured citizens will be going around town and providing drinks, towels, and cups of noodles to those who are helping out. Because of the impending threat of the minotaur's return, it's recommended that otherworlder's use the (Recipe) Buddy System spell. The way they explain it, it's a spell designed to alert your buddy if you're in danger and lasts about an hour. The way it actually works is you must be touching your buddy in any way at all times for the next hour. Unfortunately, it seems like the volunteers sharing the recipe may have missed that it was created in a kindergarten class, not for adults. C ⦿ Gross Thankfully, the Buddy System wears off before the Minotaur is back for round two. When the Minotaur returns, the castle has since gathered forces to the edge of town to defend it from another attack. It's unclear where the Minotaur went to get healed, but whoever he went to apparently had some advice, however, and the instinctive minotaur gave into a different instinct for part two of his revenge. Rather than go right back to his pile of rocks, he instead travels the day to get to the southernmost part of Camelot and barrels into town unopposed, as most of the troupes are where they had thought he would come from again. After all, minotaurs are not known to be big thinkers. Instead of violently destroying this time, however, the minotaur instead heads straight to lowertown's well-- and takes a pee in it. It turns out, not only does he have a giant-- ahem, but he is a giant dick as well. Now the entire lowertown has to be evacuated due to contaminated water up to other areas of Camelot. Many people who live there are relocated to live in extra castle rooms. After all, Minotaur Urine is known to be incredibly potent and stinky. Mages who are able to handle the smell are asked to come help perform a ritual of water purification for the lowertown's water system. This ritual involves multiple groups of people performing synchronic magic, a magic type that requires you to be in perfect sync with your partner. Draw a special ritual circle with four candles at equidistant points. Chant a spell in sync with your partner, and blow a special powder made of ground jasper, charcoal, and rosemary into the center of the circle. It will be drawn into the candles' flames and with enough people doing this, all impurities will be removed from the lowertown's water and dissipate into the atmosphere. KEY POINTS New arrivals drop into the lake and have to climb up a cliff to the Rent a Ride, where they are given their device and some headphones and can retrieve their personal materials. They travel to Camelot, which is a multiple day journey, so they stop at the Red Springs along the way and stay at an inn there. There is a vote pending for Camelot and each side of the issue is trying to engage otherworlders to their side of the vote. The slow/steady approach is hosting a cookie harvesting tournament from a grove of cookie trees, the middleground group is hosting a bug-catching contest, and the group that wants war is hosting a mining expedition. The mining expedition aggros an asshole of a minotaur, who throws rocks at Camelot. Driven away, the townspeople try to help by distributing a spell called "Buddy System" which binds two people together, not realizing it was intended for kindergarteners. (Oops.) The minotaur returns and pees in the lowertown's water, so a ritual of water purification must be performed because it's gross and stinky. The minotaur is still at large. **** The above key points are a new feature we're going to start including on TDMs and Events.

[bleedformeplz]

🔪 Arrival: Caravan 🔪

[At least the earbuds are cute, Himiko will give this world props. She likes to think she's an elf in this fantasy world, can't say the same about the familiar assigned for her. The girl is sitting quietly in the caravan, now on her magical smartphone, idling herself from the rest of the ground, for now. The creepy creature resting on top of her head, between her messy buns, stretches its jaw and yawns quietly until the very end it... yelps. Feel free to stare at the strange creature, poking him will result bite marks.

While she's enjoying the ride, she will see what else the smartphone have to offer like music, memes, something to read about the world.... oh, she can chat with people too. What username can she use? HMM... lovestabbing? bunsofsteel? frogfriendly? yummyblood?

bloodysmoothie! Curtesy from her blood sucker familiar.]

Hi every1!!!

Here's another newbie. Woke up in a lake. 😂 That's messed up, right? How you guys deal with this? How long you've been here? Post your familiar! Help a n00b and ill share my familiar. :)

[Feel free to message back or bother her in the caravan.]

🔪 Honey Over Vinegar 🔪

[Okay, despite being plucked from her world, with cooler magical powers, creepy familiar, and cookie trees, Himiko isn't complaining. In fact, her eyes sparkles in 'awo' delight, her grin stretching cheek to cheek blushing, she loves this fantasy realm.

This cookie picking event is a good way to test out her kinetic quirk. Himiko stretches one hand out and over her head, palm open. It's like learning to control your quirk all over again, and the thought of this continues to make her grin. Her eyes locks to one chunky chocolate chip. Okay magic, do you stuff!

Yet... Nothing happens. Himiko's eyes remains lock, her grin slowly waning. She stretches the same arm further up, extending her fingers farther, spirit fingers! Think moving it, Toga, think wiggle!

Still nothing!

Her eyes narrows sharply, if looks could kill... Himiko throws her other arm up, repeats the process again, this time--]

Move you stupid cookie!

[She feels a tingle of spark from her frustration to her fingers and palms, like a rush of wind out bursting from her hands, the cookie she's focusing on is swinging rapidly, and other clusters of cookies close to it and a wasp's nest... Oh dear.

Clusters of chunky chocolate chips rains down and one wasp nest plants on top of the pile. Himiko grins sheepishly, her arms retreats back down, fully aware what's about to happen.]

Oopsies.

[She swiftly turns around, pivot from one foot, and launches herself to sprint the fuck out of there. Incoming one messy bun girl with a swarm of wasps following her wake. If she finds anyone nearby, bet she will run right to that person whether they can help or not. Bonus if it's someone she knows from her world.]

HEY! A little help here!

[Congrats person, you are the lucky winner! Feel free to help her while trying to move 'cookie' or help her with wasp invasion.]

🔪 A Stone's Throw from Revenge: 🔪

[Himiko is in one building, watching people scrambling for the big boss minotaur fight. A whistle of air reaches her ear, and already she can feel her gut turning. Himiko instinctively looks toward the direction of the sound and out the window to see... one large boulder heading towards her building.

Himiko yelps, arms waving in front of her lost in her panic.]

Woah-wait! Not here!

[A little help here?]

🔪 There's Safety in Numbers 🔪

[Anyone stuck with this girl are warned not to bleed around her. They don't say why.]

So we're doing this 'buddy' thing, right? Listen, I can't heal but I can move stuff around. Let's go and dig some people up.

[Maybe they're still alive at least, or not. If they're bleeding, more bonus points.]

[[ooc: Like something else? Feel free to wildcard, PM me, or poke me at sailoruresui]]

A Stone's Throw from Revenge

[crimsongirl]

[Fortunately, Homura had been in the area just in time to notice the minotaur. She had wanted to go out to fight, but others here needed help. Not a hero, sure, though random people getting involved by assholes just didn't suit her. Using wind magic, she tackled Himiko away, just as the boulder was breaking through the window. More wind helped to flip the two, with Homura safely landing on her feet; things were so much easier when not tired.

She looked over at the intense destruction, and then down at the girl she helped out. One problem at a time.]

You alright?

[bleedformeplz]

[Talk about getting the wind knocked out of you, at least in this moment, it was in a good way. She maneuvered and landed safely thanks to the wind's momentum. Toga maybe fragile but she wasn't that hopeless. Arms stretched out on both sides, feet together, and stood tall as if this was a gymnastic finishing move.

She looked back assessed the damage. Himiko was thankful another girl came along to push her out of the way, and yet, Himiko looked quite pissed. If looks could kill...

Right, her savior. Himiko like to ask more about that magic but first--]

Hey, what did you all do to piss a cow?

[crimsongirl]

[Homura took notice. Yeah, that was the expected reaction. To which she could only shrug.]

I dunno, maybe Bakugo yelled at him or some shit. [A joke really. But she spoke again.] Seriously, I don't know. I was just doing some browsing here and suddenly heard we were being attacked by some angry bull dude.

[beaumains]

Hey! Sir Gareth of Orkney, Knight of the Round Table in Service of His Royal Highness, Arthur, King of Britain, at your service!

Well. A different Arthur than the one of this realm. Look, it's complicated, anyways, here's my familiar, Stoirm!

[ And attached is a picture of a *very* big Dire Wolf, faded grey in color, looking a little confused as to why her picture was being taken. ]

[bleedformeplz]

Two King Authur? :O! I'm lost. :|

What a cutie! :O!!! I dont have name for mines yet. maybe u can help me? :D?

[And in responds, here is one creepy chupacabra attached to the message.]

[beaumains]

[ Well. That's... Hm. She shouldn't judge. They didn't get to pick their own familiars, after all. ]

Hm. When we went out hunting, back home, you'd call a fellow like that "cluasan fada". It means long-ears! Though I know Scots is a hard language for some folk, lmao

[konpeito_aji]

An oni! He's named Kimon!

- Oda Nobunaga, Demon King of the 6th Heaven

[He even sends a picture!]

[bleedformeplz]

Is that a penpal nickname? Or some vigilant name? Demon King is not so original btw.

Can you ride it? Here's mine.

[In return, she sends this pic.]

[konpeito_aji]

It's a title. I earned it.

No, you don't ride oni.
Do you try to ride yours? He looks fun! Yours might be the first one I've seen that actually looks strong! Do you know their name yet?

un: Creati

[recommendations]

[ Somehow, the username isn't enough to ring any alarm bells for Momo. Sure, she finds it a bit distasteful, but that's not going to stop her from doing her duty to help out a new arrival! ]

Welcome to Avalon! I've been here for several months now, so I can try to help answer any questions you have. Unfortunately, we all arrive in the lake. You would really think that they could figure out a better way, but... I suppose they have more pressing issues on their minds. :)

My familiar is named Choki-kun, and he can be a real handful!

[ She sends a picture of her kamikiri-mushi familiar, a large spotted beetle-like creature with scissors for hands. Judging by the way he's surrounded by clippings of black hair, this is one of those "pet shaming" photos. ]

[bleedformeplz]

[Creati, wow what an original username. You're doing a great job Momo.]

Ikr? I was drenched with no bathing suit. It was embarrassing. ^^; Besides these phones, are there other electronics? Like TV? Try describing a day of life here. I kinda want to know what to expect how my morning will be, you know. How law enforcements work?

That's cute! :o! You are so lucky! I'm stuck with an ugly thing! ;-; They call it something? I didn't pick out a name yet :<

[And she sends her baby chupacabra, bat ears and all.]

[recommendations]

[ It was either this or 'yaomomo.' Either one would have given her away. ]

They do have other electronics, but otherwise technology is fairly antiquated. There are no cars, buses, or trains. Horses are the primary means of transportation. There is an app on your phone called the Quest Board, which you can use to pick up odd jobs here and there, for some income. There is an inn where we can all stay when we arrive, but many of us choose to find somewhere else to live once we've earned enough.

[ ... ]

Is there a reason you're asking about law enforcement?

[ Hoooolyyyyyy sh-- THAT FAMILIAR IS TERRIFYING!!!??? ]

Wow, that is quite the familiar you have... I only call mine Choki because he has scissors for hands.

[ And "choki choki" is the onomatopoeia to describe a snipping noise! ]

Hybrid arrival/wildcard

[facepalmchampion]

[Every. Single. Month. He has been looking for one of them to show up. When he finally noticed Toga sitting on the caravan as it moved, it took very little effort for him to hop onto it and tell the person beside her to move.

Otherwise silent, and inwardly finally feeling a little more like he wasn't so damn alone, Shigaraki put his elbow on the back of the cart then sat there silently. Not looking at her, but looking at her familiar. Alright. Fair enough, his was creepy too.]

I've been here for months.

[How dare they not know instinctively, but in there is the 'hello' in the only way he knows how.]

[bleedformeplz]

[Well then, that didn't take too much effort. She didn't watch Shigaraki move, heard him more like it, her back leaned against the caravan, her head tilted back to face the sky.

When Shigaraki finished talking, she replied back tiredly.]

You were in a tank for months, it's not so different.

[Retaliation, ha! Anyway, she swung her body forward, hands planted between her thighs to get a better look at Shigaraki's familiar. Her grin stretched across her cheek trying to contain herself.]

I missed you, Tomaru-chan.

[If he can't say it, she will.]

Text - un: Uravity

[floatsaway]

[Bloodysmoothie? Okay, that's seriously gross, but Ochako thinks nothing of it other than this is probably some weird and edgy kid that's a little too into it. Nothing overly harmful about a weird username - heaven knows Tokoyami probably has used some pretty embarrassing ones online when he was younger (or in middle school....).

Ochako snickers to herself at the mental image before snapping a photo of her white dire wolf, who is taking a snooze in the back of the small home she shares with the other girls.]

Hi!! This is my familiar, Aludra-san!!! She looks cute, but she's kinda naughty sometimes.
They call her a 'dire wolf spirit' but I think she's more a trickster, ehehe.
I'm pretty sure a bunch of other people have already talked to and answered you questions, but if you need any help with anything, let us know, okay? It's pretty confusing at first, but it gets easier to manage after a while.
I've already been here about three months now, I think!

[bleedformeplz]

[Huh, another Hero name she's familiar with. Is this a pattern? There is a story behind this username! Soon Toga snaps a fresh pic of her creepy chupacabra with bat ears. This time, she adds a pink bow on the top of it's head and a bigger pink bow with laces around it's neck, she's trying her best to make it cute! And well... the familiar is relaxing in the shade drinking from a glass of red liquid with a crazy straw, yum.]

The cute ones are always naughty. :o Agree, it is cute and fluffy and stab that baby with LOVE for me! So lucky!! Yours so cute!! I know mines isn't cute, but I'm trying to fix it!!

Important question. Sushi? I need it. ;w;

A Stone's Throw from Revenge

[peacewithouttyranny]

[Soundwave is helping out with evacuating the people in the fray of the Minotaur's Dumb Revenge. While he could join in the battle with the group, he instead focuses mainly on rescuing innocents who are caught up in this mess and needed help whenever it returned.

Currently, he's present inside the building, and when he hears someone- Himiko -screams in panic, shifts gears into action. With his kinetic magic, he pulls the girl towards him and catches her in his arms, seconds before the boulder crashing through the window. Probably not the most comfortable suddenly zipping towards and colliding a mech, but hey at least she isn't crushed under a boulder.

His visor hides his displeasure as he assesses the destruction, but, ah, best to gently drop the person he just rescued first, vents sighing hot air.]

[bleedformeplz]

[It was deja vu all over again and her time with Big Sis Mac. She flailed and screamed as her body zipped through the air into the mecha's hands. Thankfully the back of her head was safe, her back and the rest of the body felt a whiplash impact. Not her first rodeo but that didn't mean she enjoyed it. What the hell did she just landed in? And..

Yep, it was some kind of mecha. No way Camelot have giant machines.]

What the hell are you suppose to be?

[Talk about 'thank you'. At least she was on the ground safe and sound.]

there's safety in numbers................ 🔪

[fullgauntlet]

[Wait. Wait wait wait.]

T-Toga-san...?

[This is one of the last people that Izuku had ever expected to see in a place like this. With a spell wrapped around the two of them now too, one that makes them alerted to the other if one gets hurt or is in danger. At first, Izuku had jumped right into things to help with rescue efforts. But this is... This is a sure surprise. Now he's bound to her like they're little kids that have to hold hands!!]

Y-you're going to help with the rescue efforts...? This isn't a kind of game or- or anything.

rip.

[bleedformeplz]

[No one told her who'd be her buddy or who she'd hold hands with, yet she complied only because she was told to by you-know-who. She didn't get a chance to look at the person, her hand was snatched and there, bounded for now. Though if it was Toga's choice.... a hand would had been lost by now.

That familiar voice, heat rushed through her body as if someone swung a sledgehammer to the heart. Double points when her name passed through his lips. Prepare for fangirl squeal.]

Izuku--!

[They're together, hands entwined, the girl's face flushed deep red. Give her a moment, she didn't expect this, and was grateful for this moment. Her knife sprung out from the other hand ready to slam on the poor teen's shoulder, or at least tried. He could stop her, she just wanted to greet him like this, their forever greeting, Izuku. Bear with it. Questions will be answered in the order in which received.]

Yup! Rescue Toga! Isn't it great?

[Normal people would hug and kiss, this was Toga. Cue the happy and laughter. This will pass once she was calm again.]

Honey Over...

[apshot]

[ You know... There is some odd poetic justice in seeing these assholes really fuck things up. If Bakugou has to be here without his Quirk, then it's only fair that these villains are too. He already knows that the Crusty Bastard is here. Had the unfortunate happenstance of running into him at least once.

But now there's Psycho Bitch here too. Bakugou can't really say he's surprised. ]

Let me think about that.

[ If she even thinks about running his way? He's going to throw up a barrier at the last moment for her to smack her face into. ]

Get yourself out of your own damn mess.

welp.. rolled a 3...

[bleedformeplz]

[Oh no, not him. Not someone she hoped for because:
1) It's Bakugou.
2) Quirk or no quirk, he's still dangerous and a smart ass.
3) BIG NOPE.

Her eyes darkened and narrowed just from the sight of him and her grin completely vanished replaced with this demeanor expression. The bees continued to pursue her, not much she could do here, she thought. Screw it, she plan to zip past him, hope the bees go for the other blond instead.]

Some Hero you are.

[She isn't in complete control of her new quirks, but hell she doesn't want to get stung. She picked up speed, aim to dart pass Explosion. Let's see how that goes...]

un: epjack; omg... kinetic + blood friends!!

[eardrums]

[Before she even says anything, Jiro sends a photo of her familiar, though its hood is back and it seems to be messing with some drumsticks... looks like they must be in a music shop together.]

can't tell you if the big guy's got a name, but he's some sort of haunted shamisen, i guess.

as for the lake thing, if you end up at the inn like we did they usually have some pretty good bath stuff for free. i'd suggest getting sand out of your hair before you try sleeping tonight, it's pretty rough otherwise

friends owo!!

[bleedformeplz]

[And she sends one photo right back with added pink bow. She tried to make it cute, okay? Ou, why does everyone get the cute ones!!]

That's a walking guitar cloak! :O So you didn't give him a name? Not yet? Why?

How grateful of them to accommodate us in time of need. Or maybe a guilt trip in their part? I want to know more about this place and inn, but i shall say not say 'no' to good bath and bed! >w<
