Who Scent You?

WHO: Bulla Brief, Izuku Midoriya
WHAT: Midoriya is attacked by an aggressive men's body spray salesperson! A new friend comes to his aid and introduces him to the world of fashionable cologne.
WHEN: September 24th, 2018
WHERE: Genessia City - Hamete Shopping Mall


Izuku was only too glad to convey his earnest gratitude to Mavis and the others living at Fairy Haven for allowing him to stay there rent-free. He wouldn't have turned his nose up at the commons, but he did like having a good-sized room all to himself, some basic furniture, and the option to share meals with everyone else.

It saved him from spending a great deal of the currency he'd woken up with. He wasn't about to blow it all just yet, but he did need to pick up some things, like some different changes of clothes. Fayren's style was unique to the area, and he'd made sure to buy one adventurer's outfit so he could fit in more easily with the populace there. But he was more comfortable in the casual wear in Genessia. He found himself a couple of pairs of cargo pants and one pair of good slacks, an assortment of long-sleeved t-shirts and a back-up hoodie, and several packages of socks and boxers that he kept buried at the bottom of his shopping basket.

He figured he should probably see about getting one nice shirt that buttoned up the front in case there were any formal events at the guild hall. He needed shoes that weren't big red sneakers too, but he was running out of basket space.

As he skirted past the cosmetics and fragrance islands in the center of the store, a wild-eyed man suddenly lunged at him from behind the counter.

"MACE ALL YOUR DAYS BE CHEERY AND BRIGHT!" he shrilled, just as a cloud of strong and very spicy cologne punched Izuku's sense of smell into another effing dimension.

"GAH!" he yelped, jumping back, arm raised too late to ward off the peppery stink that now clung to his face and hair. "What the--?!"

"It's Mace body spray!" Pish pish! "With a scent guaranteed to drive the girls wild!" Pish pish pish!

Izuku coughed into his elbow, too polite to stop the assault on his senses in the most efficient way possible. "I never said I wanted t--"

"Aw, c'mon, sonny! With a plain face like yours, you've got to get the attention of the ladies somehow. Try Mace body spray! Guaranteed to drive the girls wild!" The swirling mist of uncoolness stopped abruptly as the salesman turned his head, then gave Izuku a meaty slap on his back. "See what I mean? There's a nice young girl headed straight for you right now!"

Izuku's head snapped up. "S...seriously?" Did this stuff really work that fast?
