[Video & Action] Backdated to Nov 10th, evening. Content warning.

[fashionably_strong]

[That rasping threat sends chill through Bulla’s body. Heart pounding rapidly, she takes out her device and turns on the video feed. She’s doing what she can to control her breath. Maybe if she times things just right, she can grab Shigaraki’s wrist and snap it before his powers rapidly decompose the flesh on her neck. The camera shows her at an odd angle for a moment, and the view is shaky, despite her best efforts to hide how frightened she is. Her voice, however, is defiant as she hands her phone over to him.]

Tomura Shigaraki lost his phone and thinks threatening to kill someone is a super awesome way to fix that problem. Here. Whatever. Knock yourself out.

Don’t flatter yourself kid.

[Shigaraki hands the device off to someone else that’s never seen on camera as the focus comes to settle on the hand-obscured face of the blue haired man.]

In my world, society is propped up on the backs of heroes. People with powers and abilities that society has deemed good and useful, while those not so lucky to be born gifted in ways that society accepts are expected to languish in the scraps of the chosen.

[As Shigaraki talks, Bulla starts looking for the opportunity to throw him off. Her eyes are darting around the room as she weighs her options. With those powers of his and his hand on her throat, one wrong move could kill her in a matter of seconds.]

And at the center of it all is the ‘pillar of peace and order.’ All Might. Because of All Might, the masses can go about their days, content in the feeling that if anything bad were to happen, All Might would save the day. People turn away from those that society tramples down, labeling them as villains. Well, I’m here to remind you all that nobody is safe.

[He pauses, gesturing to the camera that recenters on Bulla.]

In my time here, I’ve done my homework. There are a few people that have powers rivaling All Might, and this girl is one of them. As you can see, though, she doesn’t look too eager to fight me.

[He flexes the one finger next to her neck that isn’t quite touching her yet. Bulla eyes that finger warily now that the attention is back on her.]

But don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not out to kill anyone. Yet. No, I just want to drive home my point… To all you heroes out there; you’re not going to be able to stop me.




[Shigaraki moves directly behind Bulla, placing a hand on one shoulder while shifting the hand at her neck to the other, cracks forming in Bulla’s skin as soon as he makes contact with those shoulders.]

You bastAAAAAAAH!

[When Shigaraki moves, Bulla starts shifting position to fight back. Her attempts to escape and insult him are cut both short by searing, blinding pain. It tears into the flesh of her shoulders like acid, destroying muscle tissue as easily as one rips wet paper. Her breaths are rapid and shallow. She’s hyperventilating, unable to even find enough air to scream.]

To those who may be sympathetic to my cause, put out some feelers. I’ll find you. In the meantime, the clock is ticking, heroes. Whether this girl lives or dies is on your heads now.

[ As he pauses his speech, there are some explosions heard in the background.]

I’d hurry if I were you.

[ A hand reaches out to the camera and a moment later, the feed clicks off.]

Comments

[foriamhere]

[He listens and nods. Honestly, from the moment Bulla said that Orihime turned back time the thought was in his head. Though the question would be just how far back could she turn it? This wasn't a matter of hours like for Bulla but a matter of years. His injuries technically were healed (his shattered hand not included of course), this was just the after effect of the damage.]

I'll ask you this: do you know if she is able to re-grow organs? Because that is what's wrong. Basically anything I could live without was removed because of the damage.

[No stomach, no spleen, one lung, one kidney, over ten feet of intestine removed and everything held together by reconstructed ribs. It's a mess in there. It would be one thing to fix the damage, but if there's nothing left there to actually fix, what then?]

[fashionably_strong]

[Holy crap. That's some pretty severe damage. Bulla has to think about that for a moment.]

I'm not sure, but if anyone could with their powers, it would be Orihime.

[Healing her shoulders had been so quick, despite the severity of the damage. She'd been completely unable to move her arms due to the decay and now she could move them around freely as if they'd never been hurt. She has faith in her friend, but doesn't want to make guarantees, either.]

If she's not able to do it, I bet there are medical services in Nova City that could probably use your cells to artificially create organs that your body wouldn't reject.

[A process that would take far longer. Still, it's something that would mean he wasn't coughing up blood once it was finished.]

[light_of_willpower]

[That is some extensive damage. Trunks has been listening to the two quietly before he nodded.]

I can think of a few people capable of doing that kind of research even if there aren't medical services like that set up in Nova City.

[foriamhere]

[He closed his eyes, inclining his head.]

Then I imagine I should request a meeting, if you would not mind the imposition. I would not feel right contacting her unannounced.

[For the rest he nods again, not wanting to admit that he wasn't confident that his body could honestly handle multiple transplant surgeries--but that would probably be where healing quirks, or powers, or whatever people here wanted to call them could still come in.]

[fashionably_strong]

I don't mind at all. She's a deputy guardian for Genessia and she has her Cake Town business, so making plans with her usually means having to schedule things a little in advance. I know she'd be happy to help, though.

[She looks to his hand.]

Rapunzel is a little easier to reach. I don't know what she could do for your internal organs, but I'm confident she could fix your hand.


(ooc: We can go with it not working out because of a few rounds of phone tag before Orihime disappeared?)

[foriamhere]

Thank you, Bulla my girl.

[Well, he wasn't quite sure what he was expecting coming here, but this was definitely a turn he wasn't expecting. But hey, if it worked... he doubted he would have any of One For All left, but if he could just... function... that would be amazing.]

But I should probably let you rest now.

[ooc: yep! Some sort of scheduling nightmare /o/ And it's not exactly an emergency since he's been living with it for six years and he's doubtful that it would even work in the first place.]
