[Video - Joint Intro]

[midorkiya]

[Izuku Midoriya holds the communicator far enough in front of him that it puts both him and Neito Monoma in equal view. Izuku’s face is fairly sober from where he stands on the sidewalk in front of the Schnee Foundation.]

It seems like it’s working according to the instructions.

[He knits his brow, a gloved hand knuckling his mouth. His expression eases as he glances toward the taller blond boy beside him. For the time being, it seems like the rivalry between their classes has been set aside in favor of navigating this situation as a quasi-team.]

Do you want to go first?

[He gestures toward the radio, dropping his hand from his mouth. It’s a show of good faith, since Monoma in the past has always seemed...well, a little bitter about the attention given to Class 1A]

[Finding oneself kidnapped means pragmatism takes precedence over a rivalry. If that means he has to temporarily team up with a student from 1A to get results, so be it. He’ll simply have to make sure to get a better job, and exceed Midoriya and anyone else from class 1A who might be here in more civilian ways. He takes the radio. He’s skeptical about spirits, but since their only source of information has claimed spirits are responsible, he won’t question it for now.]

Does anyone here know why the spirits have kidnapped us? Do they have specific criteria? Or could someone have been an innocent bystander near someone more likely to get in trouble?

[He looks pointedly in the direction of the other boy with him at that last part. Yup, that bitterness toward 1A is still in tact. He’s just toning it down in light of their circumstances.]

Er…

[Izuku really can’t think of anything to say to that. So he doesn’t even try. He gives his head a quick shake before resuming Serious Talk.]

We’d also like any updates on the current state of affairs, especially where crimefighting is concerned. We’re both heroes in training--

[He reaches for his pocket, then pales, and starts patting himself down more frantically. Oh no! He showed up here without his wallet?! Aw c’mon!]

J-just a second! My license…

[He fishes his phone out of his pocket, quickly tapping at the screen until his mouth quirks wryly and he turns the device around. There’s a picture of his license bearing his smiling face, his name, and his status as a provisionally licensed hero. Was it necessary to provide proof? Probably not! But it still feels like he should to lend them credibility.]

My wallet wasn’t in my pocket when I was taken, so I guess this will have to do for now. I’m Izuku Midoriya. This is Neito Monoma. We may be new, but we’re here to help wherever we might be needed.

[Izuku pockets his phone again, looking to the other teen to see if there’s anything else he wants to add.]

[Huh. That was more diplomatic and well spoken than Neito would have expected from the rival class, so he skips out on making any further snide remarks and simply nods.]

We’ll eagerly await your answers.

[Izuku grins, then waves at the screen. That went pretty good!]

[OOC: Green is Midoriya, blue is Monoma. Either one will answer unless someone is sending a private message!]

I can actually answer some of this. Crimefighting is a case of the police or bounty hunters. In at least Nova City you do have to apply for a licence. I know because that's what I did.

[And if one were to look at her, long blond hair and has a habit of never wearing shoes anywhere. No one would think she was of all things a bounty hunter.]

Is that what you mean about the current state of affairs crime wise? [She smiled sweetly for a moment before waving slightly.] But hello and welcome. I'm Rapunzel.

Thank you for your kind welcome, Rapunzel-san. Do you have any information about the frequency of crime, if there are any organized crime groups, and that sort of thing?

[midorkiya]

[Monoma asked what Midoriya is interested in as well, so he doesn't interrupt. He does, however, seem to be studying Rapunzel and her oodles and oodles of hair. He mutters to himself thoughtfully.]

So quirks are probably just as prevalent here as they were on Earth. She's got way more hair than most people, so it might be related to her quirk. Is it prehensile? Or maybe it's super strong. It might also secrete some sort of gas or fluid that incapacitates her targets...

[hot_handed]

[Fuck not again.]

Both of you go die.

[plagiarisms]

What a horrible way to greet two schoolmates. Still, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you wound up here.

[Yup, that's a dig at Bakugou.]

Video. locked to both of them and Mavis

[sleepingbagsensei]

[Shocking. The only rare times he uses video. He also sends directions to the Fairy Haven. Aizawa seems indifferent as always.]

Send you two directions to Fairy Haven, we'll talk more there.

Shigaraki is is the only villain here thus far. Don't go near or try to apprehend him in case I have to remind you two.

[Video, group locked]

[plagiarisms]

[He's not eager to go picking a fight with anyone from the League of Villains, so he just nods.]

How many others from UA are here, Aizawa-sensei?

[While he wouldn't wish this on anyone, there is a small part of him that would really like to see someone from 1B here.]

( video )

[alternas]

Wait, there's a... license for that kind of thing?

( video )

[sleepingbagsensei]

In the world where both them and myself come from, yes. It's a career option if one chooses to pursue heroism such as allowed to use Quirks, assist on natural disasters, or any harm done to the public, and apprehend villains.

[scarlet_devil]

I am Lady Remilia Scarlet, Deputy Guardian... Everglade's only one at that. [ She looks like a ten year old girl with red eyes, pale skin and bat-wings. She'd not stand out in his world.

...Except that she's a vampire. ]

Aizawa is here, by the way. I assume you're from the same world?

These spirits unfortunately have no interest in showing themselves, let alone communicate in any way. Even in places that don't require licences, causing unnecessary injury to criminals is generally frowned upon.

I would suggest applying for bounty licences in Attleton and Nova to begin with.

[Video]

[plagiarisms]

Thank you for the advice. It's frowned upon for heroes to use excessive force in our world, as well. They are licensed and regulated to ensure that they are held accountable and not acting above the laws they've sworn to uphold.

[video]

[howamanlives]

Heroes in training? Like superheroes? In spandex and helmets and special attacks and everything? Or did your world just choose a super arrogant name for public servants?

[video]

[plagiarisms]

Police, fire fighters, and other emergency services exist. Hero is a profession that requires special training and a license. Heroes work closely with those in other emergency professions.

[priceofmagic]

Heroes in training, huh? [Where has she heard that before? Satou giggles.]

Good afternoon to you both. My name is Kuroneko Satou, Deputy of Attleton and Detective for Everglade PD: they're both cities you'll be able to access here.

You two can look into bounties listed in the newspaper, or maybe take a look at filling protector roles in the city. Your licenses may be enough to get you on the police force here, or you can talk to the Guardians about assisting them.

[...] Does the name "Bakugou, Katsuki-san," mean anything to you?

Video;

[plagiarisms]

Thank you for the welcome and the suggestions, Kuroneko-san.

[He does his best to resist the urge to make a face when she mentions Bakugou. He's not entirely successful.]

We go to the same school. I hope he hasn't caused too much trouble for you.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Welcome! I'll skip the parts that other people have already covered. For the most part, the cities are relatively peaceful. Attleton has the biggest problem with organized crime, and Everglade has some...very specialized laws to accommodate the dietary needs of some of its citizens.

[Video]

[midorkiya]

D...dietary needs...?

[Given the way his pupils constrict, it's probably obvious that he knows exactly what she's talking about. He sweats nervously.]

I see. I'll have to keep those guidelines in mind.

[He isn't sure he can just quietly accept someone getting attacked and eaten, though, no matter what the rules might be. He sighs.]

But it's good to hear that things are quiet for the most part. I thought about joining one of the deputy teams or law enforcement agencies, depending on where heroes are needed most.

[Video]

[leekspins]

[Wow, Bakugou really doesn't like these guys, does he? The one with the green hair doesn't seem to share that dislike, but Monoma does. Still, he's not an enemy like Shigaraki, and though Aizawa hasn't responded yet (that she can see), she's sure she would have been warned by now if either of these boys were villains to keep an eye on.]

Welcome! I'm Orihime Inoue, it's nice to meet you.

[She bows politely.]

Most newcomers don't offer to join in and help so soon. Even I was too surprised to think of that! But for the crimefighting statistics...eeto...

[Most guardian information isn't confidential, so she supposes there's no real harm in sharing.]

The laws are about what you'd expect everywhere except Everglade. Oh, but I see other people told you about that. Anyone can stop villains, but bounty hunters get paid for it. You'll see bounties show up in the newspaper that anyone can take, or you can join the guild for steady pay when crime is slow and there aren't many people hiring.

[Oh, and there's the date to consider! Orihime straightens, her face more serious.]

It's quiet now, so you have lots of time to settle in and get your bearings. But Halloween tends to be dangerous. I've only been here for one of them, but I've heard it's bad every year, and for more than just the holiday. If you're willing to help out during that time, everyone would be really grateful.

[Video]

[plagiarisms]

Thank you for the welcome and the information, Inoue-san.

[He inclines his head politely in return. He's glad that so many people seem willing to help and offer information.]

I'll gladly help around Halloween if people need help.

[youfool]

Welcome to Genessia, you two. Might I have the meaning of your names? I'd be happy to satisfy your own curiosities regarding the numinous in turn.

Er, were your question not rather like question begging. Bear with me; what makes you believe that we were "kidnapped", beyond mere say-so? Perhaps there's new evidence that's yet to come to light.

[Though he kinda doubts it.]

Video

[plagiarisms]

Name meaning?

[He's not sure he's ever been asked that question before.]

I've never looked up my surname, but I saw my first name in a baby names book once and it means "peaceful person". Regarding the kidnapping, we're going based on the information provided when we got here. We listened to the full presentation.

[Video]

[fairysoul]

[Two more soon-to-be heroes? Mavis is almost tempted to let Aizawa handle this. And then, she decides it would be rude not to greet them.

She smiles.]

Hi! I think other people from your world are already here. You should wait until they contact you and ask them for updates.

[Video]

[plagiarisms]

Hello.

[He offers a pleasant smile and a wave. Since the conversation with Bakugou is public, he doesn't mind commenting on that.]

A certain schoolmate who acts like he was raised by rabid wolves has made contact, yes.

[thehandyman]

[He wasn't going to contact Midoriya at first but, the longer he stewed on it, he figured he might as well gauge just what Midoriya knew without tipping his hand too much...]

The league is watching.

[Reply not here]

[plagiarisms]

[Oh joy. This is what he gets for making his introduction standing beside Midoriya. The attention of a villain.]
