[Video] (Backdated to 9/26)

[hot_handed]

[The Bakugou who glares into the camera looks positively haggard. His hair is in a disarray, dark circles framing his eyes as the sunglasses slide down his nose. His shirt is wrinkled, and he finally looks like Aizawa's kid like he hasn't slept in days. For someone high maintenance like him, it's telling.]

Approximately sometime on Monday, September 24th, Orihime Inoue went missing. If you know her, you'll realize why that's out of character, because she isn't the type of person to do stupid shit, but if you don't know her look carefully.

[He holds up a picture of her and places it back down.]

The scumbag I think most likely to be responsible is the same rotten piece of garbage from my world who brought down the arcade, Shirataki Tofuka. Allow me to be so clear that even a cowardly speck of nothing who hides behind someone else's hand can understand this:

This mistake is going to cost you your life. You think you have the upper hand now? You're just making it worse for yourself once I find you. Withholding information makes you an accessory no better than him, and I'll slaughter every single person involved until I find her. If you have information, we can protect you. Otherwise, stay the fuck out of my way.

[Despite making the text anonymous to mask his location at least, he's not even going to bother hiding who he is.]

Let me make a few things clear. First, that's not even remotely my name. It's Shigaraki Tomura. Second, I don't know who this Orihime Inoue is, and trust me when I say if I wanted to get at you, you'd know damn well it was me.

That said, a piece of advice: hurry. If it were me? She'd already be dead.

[hot_handed]

[He grins, baring his teeth, his eyes wide and wild. He's trying to look as intimidating as possible to look brave, when the simple fact is even an anon text from the bastard makes his stomach drop.]

Are you excited to find out what it's like to die over and over again until there's nothing left of your shitty existence, Tofu-san? I know I am.

[thehandyman]

Tsk tsk. That's not very heroic of you.

You're welcome to come find me and get your ass kicked, but don't blame me when your damsel turns up dead and I had nothing to do with it.

[Voice]

[fairysoul]

Thank you for volunteering this information.

[That's all she has to say. But she's noting that name, now that she has the correct version.]

[Video - Private]

[midorkiya]

Kacchan...

[There's a lot he wants to say, and warn against. The dangers of going after someone full-tilt, of stirring up the attention of someone like Shigaraki and correcting him on the name, and especially the importance of pacing himself because Bakugou looks downright haggard.]

[But he already knows how well that would go over.]

[So even though he doesn't really know what's going on, or who this girl is, it seems like this situation matters a lot to Katsuki. He can't sit on his hands and let him go it alone.]

Where do you need me to start searching?

[He has to be careful not to sound like he's trying to take command or tell Bakugou what he should do. The only way he'll likely let Midoriya help out is if he plays it as passively as possible.]

Re: [Video - Private]

[hot_handed]

Where do I--!

[Habit, made worse by no sleep, has his eyes flaring and his words screamed before he can register what Deku said. When he does, he grips his desk, scowling away, and calms down enough for the moment to reply sullenly.]

Sir Handsalot likes seedy looking places that most people avoid. But he knows me, and my quirk. He could cause a lot of destruction if he planned it correctly.

Start searching places that have unstable materials, like abandoned plants and shit like that. Especially if they're near the more densely populated areas. I already made a list so I don't have to listen to your useless mumbling about it.

[Video - Private]

[midorkiya]

I'll go check them out.

[He's plain and doesn't tend to stand out much, so outside of Everglade and Nova City he's not worried about blending in and scoping things out.]

[He's also a master of mustache disguise, no one will suspect a thing.]

[Besides, Bakugou's suggestions are good ones. Midoriya is aware that a missing girl could be due to any number of circumstances, but he's in agreement that the villain from their world, who's messed with Bakugou at least twice before now, is the most likely suspect.]

And Aizawa-sensei...is he...?

[He'd been pretty adamant about Midoriya never crossing paths with Shigaraki, he's pretty sure Bakugou's been told the same. But surely in this instance he'd help out, right? Or at least look the other way?]

Private Video

[priceofmagic]

[Lordy, where does she start with this? Satou stares at the video screen for a long time, not responding just yet. Her professional instinct is to scold him for ruining any search effort right out of the gate. Do they not teach kids how to get things done, or just how to punch at their problems?

People already think Satou babies Katsuki. Maybe she does, because she switches to private and decides to start as his friend. He probably won’t learn anything if he’s emotional anyway.]

I haven’t noticed any emotional disturbances in Everglade. If anything bad at happened to a pendent bearer, I would have found residue of it.

Are you alone?

Re: Private Video

[hot_handed]

So it's one of the remaining four shitty cities.

[He grumbles, but secretly he's grateful for the information. And the fact that Satou isn't scolding him. He doesn't handle scolding well on a good day, and lately...]

Of fucking course I am, why are you asking?

[Video, private]

[fashionably_strong]

[She didn't know when Orihime had first gone missing, but she'd gotten increasingly worried yesterday when her friend didn't show up when they had plans and hadn't called to cancel or even sent a message.]

Hey Katsuki-niichan.

[Orihime was the one who'd taught her the correct way to say big brother in Japanese. She's acutely aware of that right now.]

She more than likely wasn't taken from her apartment. I sniffed around the door and I looked through the window and there's no sign of a disturbance from what I could see looking in. I haven't sensed her ki when flying around Nova City.

Re: [Video, private]

[hot_handed]

Ah...neki.

[He hadn't asked if she had known how to say it all along. It never occurred to him to. It just seemed natural.]

We should blow up her apartment to make sure.

Voice.

[sadisticsinner]

Hey kid, you did notify the authorities at least for your missing girlfriend right? If not, please come down to the Genessia's Police station to give your statement at least so we can do our job as well.

Re: Voice.

[hot_handed]

What do you think was my first fucking step?

[Video, private]

[plagiarisms]

[He's never liked Bakugou, and it's only because there is a missing girl and his own goal to be a hero that he's willing to temporarily put aside that dislike. Or at least dial it down a lot. He'll be back to insulting him once Orihime is found. For now, he'll help.]

Where are people already searching?

Re: [Video, private]

[hot_handed]

Deku's searching abandoned plants and shit, I'm searching Genessia with Pink Cheeks. Everglade has been eliminated as a potential place.

I really despise your bland eyes, but you should copy my or Aizawa's quirk.

[Video]

[myfayevalentine]

*Shit, Bakugou... Faye is on screen, eyes narrowed as she listens along. There is no time for chat*

Tell me what I can do.

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

[He doesn't fucking know. He's not a leader. He doesn't even know where Faye's skills lie.]

What are you good at.

[UA party filter/locked+ Satou [Voice.]

[sleepingbagsensei]

[Damn kids.]

You kids want to help, that's fine long as you all work with law enforcement. If Shigaraki Tomura has anything to do with this, you all will back down.

I've been focused on Fayren.

[He's working too much guys with that, class, and napping.]

Bakugou, try to get some rest. You can search again once you recover enough stamina, and food.

Re: [UA party filter/locked+ Satou [Voice.]

[hot_handed]

I'm not resting until he's dead, dammit!

[Video]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Wait, she's missing?!

I was wondering why I hadn't seen her around lately!

You know anything else? I can help look!

Re: [Video]

[hot_handed]

Then look.

[ivegotadream]

[Rapunzel found herself pausing quietly. Someone Rapunzel admittedly admired for what she was capable of ability wise and just what the young woman had always managed to do in the time she has been here was missing.

With a small frown she appears on the feed, eyes looking at the floor while she thinks a few things over.]

I'm... sorry that she is missing. But... I will try and look high and low in Attleton since I work there pretty much most days.

[She wasn't sure how much help she would actually be, but hey her hair can get her to some high up places and see far distances if needs be.]

I wish there was more I could do to help, but I will try my best to keep you posted.

[video]

[howamanlives]

... I'll be looking for any sign that can help Bakugou.

I'll do everything I can to make sure whoever did this doesn't get away with it.

[ryuji, who had remained hidden and quiet about any kind of matters like this, was suddenly fed up with being silent. he was a phantom thief, dammit! and this was the kind of shit thieves did! they gathered evidence and brought the criminal to justice!

so, in the video there's a shot of a masked man in full gear. he looked like a ... biker? a thug? who knows, but whatever he was he was determined.]

Whoever did this, they're gonna pay for it. Do ya got any other information right now? I'm a Phantom Thief, and we can get to the bottom of this.

Name's Skull, by the way.

[Video - Private]

[fairysoul]

I trust you to handle this. [Also technically it is out of her jurisdiction. Not that it would stop her from sending Erza, Mira or Tatlyn there, but she doubts he'll ask for their help.]

But if she needs a place to stay after you find her, feel free to bring her back to Fairy Haven. [Also, he remembers Orihime's name. She's impressed, and a little sad for him, too.]
