[Have what looks like the outline of a face that looks like it was carved out of a pure ebony coffin lid peering out of your screens. And a voice that while utterly, unfailing polite and civil in it's tone, sounds as deep and dark as any tomb in its timbre to accompany it.]  

It so invigorating to be out and about again. Prison life was starting to get quickly tiresome especially when one is rendered immobile for 99 percent of the time in it. I really must extend my most sincere thanks to whoever runs this place for my release.  Also for giving me back my mask and expensively tailored suits. I have to look my best if I am to make good first impressions here. 

Hello, ladies and gentlemen who from what I understand are from different worlds. You may call me, All For One.  I have no need for any other name anymore. 

Now then, I have two questions for you all.

How many of you consider yourselves to be heroes? And would any of you happen to know a fellow that goes by the name of All Might? He comes in either shape as a mountain of solid muscle or as bony-thin as a malnourished orphan but he will always be bearing a ridiculous grin on his face  no matter what. 

He and I, we have a history together, you see. And such is our relationship that one starts to develop a bit of sixth sense regarding the other's  presence in a way. Or perhaps it is just wishful thinking on my part.  

Still, it would be quite sad, if I was truly the only one from my own world here...

[Ted's getting that "symbol of evil" vibe loud and clear, but then when he's in similar straits he looks pretty evil himself, so he won't judge just yet. Even if his intuition really wants to.

But before he answers the question of whether he knows All Might, he has to go for the most obvious one of all.]

Eheh, hello Mr. One. Welcome to Genessia. To answer your question: I don't consider myself a hero. What were you in prison for?

[symbol_of_evil]

Oh, you could call it a philosophical disagreement with how the society of my world is run by it's appointed guardians. Chief among them being All Might. We had a fight. I'm afraid that I lost it. But that doesn't mean that the war between us is over. Not at all.

[scarlet_devil]

Some may call me a villain, others would call me a hero. It's all about perspective.

Either way, I'm on of the city Guardians. As for All Might, I've met him. I'm certain he'll show up.

[symbol_of_evil]

I'm afraid that moral relevance doesn't have much place where I am from.

And my, to be task with such heavy responsibility at such a young age... You must be quite impressive.

Also thank you very much for confirming my hunch. Now, I can be ready for him.

[Well, at least this person looks normal for HER world. Possibly even a demon lord of hell, if he had the muscle and the brains for it. She suspects that most of the other folks aren't about to take to kindly to him. Not that she was going to try to keep him from getting his ass firmly planted in whatever 'confinement' he crawled his way out of. He's definitely someone to keep an eye on, if only to see what happens to him. Time for some recon.]

No heroes here. Just a damned soul.

...and listening to you, I would swear you're just asking to start some shit. Did a hero piddle in your breakfast or something?

[symbol_of_evil]

You'd hate them too if you knew how hypocritical and self-righteous they can be. Or if they took your face. Would you care to see what is underneath this mask?

[Video]

[generalgrievous]

I am considered a great hero in my world. Unfortunately there is nobody else from my world here, although there are others from my galaxy.

I am Grievous, a Deputy Guardian of Nova City and I will warn you now to cause no trouble in this place.

[symbol_of_evil]

A pleasure to meet you, Mr. Grievous. I can't help but sense that you are something of a kindred spirit to myself in a way...

[He pulls the midnight-black mask off to revel an eyeless face and what seems to be a breathing apparatus around his mouth that the mask covers.]

But of course, I will. Any disputes from my world are private matters between one Toshinori Yagi and myself. I won't start anything if he does not provoke me.

[The last few months of his time in Genessia had been quite ones. After making his statement courtesy of Bulla, he'd gone to ground and focused on building his informant network. As such, he'd become pretty darn connected with Genessia's criminal underworld and had done several smaller jobs to procure resources. Of course all his scheming and plotting goes out the window when he hears the familiar voice on the device.]

Master! You've come! I was wondering if I'd ever see you again...

[After all, the last thing he remembers from their world is being forced through a portal as All Might battled his master.]

[symbol_of_evil]

Tomura. Now this is a most unexpected surprise...

[His pupil is here. That is both welcoming and concerning. He hadn't plan to lose against All Might... But the end-result was still nonetheless desirable for his successor's growth as the next King of All Villains and Symbol of Evil. To have him become dependent on his Master yet again...

But then again in the present circumstances here, who would be better to have as ally then the troubled, twisted youth he had raised to worship and revere him?

Well, that is one of the joys of teaching. There is always more that can be passed on.]

I have missed you, my boy. Tell me, how long have you been here? Has All Might tried to torment you in my absence?

[Video]

[chaosimpact]

Hero and villain are such constraining titles. I personally prefer Beauty Queen~

[symbol_of_evil]

In my world unfortunately, society is that confining. Still you can have your enjoyment if you commit yourself to the role that you desire like I have.

[Video]

[liorafae]

I...I don't think that calling oneself a hero means anything...

[This little dragon can relate, because well she doesn't necessarily call herself a hero, she does have a mission to save the world back home. She had been called a hero at one point, and it was unsettling, because she haven't done anything worthy of being called a hero.]

[symbol_of_evil]

You are quite right. A Hero should be something most rare and precious but too many self-important, glory-seeking fools grant themselves the title.

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

[He's being about as subtle about being a bad person as the villains from her world tend to be. She also knows the heroes from his world and has no intention of sharing that information. Instead, she decides to play innocent.]

Why do you want to know who considers themselves a hero?

Locked to Bulla [Video]

[foriamhere]

[All Might is white as a sheet and looks worse than he has his entire time in Genessia despite the fact that he's gained at least 30 pounds since Christmas]

Bulla do not underestimate this man. This is Tomura Shigaraki's master--and the man who put the hole in my stomach. I am preparing a statement for the guardians now.

[Not that he looks like he is prepared for anything right now other than possibly passing out.]

[Reaction Only]

[foriamhere]

[No... nonononono... This is not happening--first Shigaraki and now--

His hand moves to grip his left side, psycho-semantic pain lancing through his body despite the fact that the damage has been healed for over two months while the last meager wisps of One For All try and fail to activate.

Goddamn it--why him? Of all people, why him?

The room is spinning even as he watches the feed, the voice combined with his own powerlessness taking him somewhere almost outside his body, losing the feeling first in his fingers and then his hands.

He had to notify the guardians... anyone who would potentially be dealing with this... warn them of what All For One was capable of... But before that he had to get control of himself before he passed out.]

[symbol_of_evil]

[He doesn't need to see you at the moment to guess how you are currently reacting. Especially since Tomura has helped place the time frame of where you were taking from to this world. Still an awfully cowardly course of action for the one who use to proclaim to villains everywhere that "I am here."]

[VOICE] fight me

[vociferates]

HEY, HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE IT EASY, ALLLLL RIIIGHT?
Making big grand speeches and talking about just how long you've been locked up, doesn't seem like you're really thinking things through!

[but uh, regardless of Mic knowing precious little about All for One, he knows that as All Might's ultimate rival, he's likely not stupid. So what's he playing at? What's the point of the grand standing? Engaging might help glean more information. Words unsaid, actions to evaluate, but he knows that he can't just sit back and watch.]

[VOICE/Private] fights!

[sleepingbagsensei]

Tch!

[Mic please! Sorry buddy, but he's putting you in a headlock here.]

That's your idea?!

[Reaction, comment not here]

[plagiarisms]

[Nope nope nope nope nope. There are not enough nopes in the world to cover Monoma's reaction. While he'll protect innocent people like the hero in training that he is, he is in training and this is the guy All Might burned out all his power in a brutal battle. Noooooo thank you. Not a fight he intends on picking.]

[Video]

[brat_from_hell]

That's an interesting name, mister.

[priceofmagic]

[Trying not to be one to judge, Satou is all smiles and keeping a polite tone as she introduces herself:]

It’s nice to meet you, All For One-san! My name is Satou Kuroneko. I’m the Guardian of Genessia— I protect this city from threats! So if you need anything to feel safe and comfortable, please let me know!

[Though he did just say he was from prison, Satou isn’t going to rock the boat right away.]

[symbol_of_evil]

Good to meet you too, Miss Kuroneko. So then, you are the official leader of this strange world? Well then, I like to place myself and possibly my adopted son, Tomura Shigaraki as well under your protection.

I fear there is a conspiracy brewing to harm us. One headed by All Might and his allies, Eraser Head and Present Mic. They will try to turn the populace against us.

Video

[ubiquitously]

A sixth sense for each other, huh...

[Uai debates pressing for more details. He is somewhat obligated to care more about the politics of this place now, and should probably put his foot down as being on the side of the supposed "heroes."

But he can't commit.]

So are you and All Might soulmates or something? How romantic! I'm kind of jealous. I wish my relationships were that deep and soul binding.

[mynameisallen]

[Why did Allen feel somewhat uneasy? He didn't want to say himself, but never the less his Pokemon companion was currently hiding and Timcampy was sitting on his head as Allen actually decided to reply.]

I am just a person, I wouldn't call myself a hero. [He just wants to save people, he wouldn't want to put a title on it. Except maybe an idiot to some.]

But if you had a sixth sense about the other wouldn't you have already been able to tell if he's here or not?

[symbol_of_evil]

But are you the kind of person who let innocent people suffer and die or would you risk your own life to protect them?

["Ordinary" people have little place is his and All Might's world. You will learn that soon enough. Things are black and white with no gray.]

And it turns out that my premonition was right after all. Perhaps, I am indeed psychic.]

video;

[paopuofyourlife]

I'm no hero. But I am curious, why do you need to ask people this? Seems like an odd thing to ask for your first day.

Is there something about heroes that you like or don't?

[symbol_of_evil]

The world I come from is full of self-righteous fools who bear that title of Hero. They claim to make society better but in truth, have only concealed the ugliness and misery behind a pleasant-looking cover while they enrich themselves. Of course, I would despise them.

Video;

[madcuriosity]

Are you a friend of Mr. Might, sir? [Alice distinctly recalls the skeleton of a man who held her up with ease at the auction.]

Oh ah, also it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. One. How do you do?

[symbol_of_evil]

Friend? Oh no. We are enemies. Mortal enemies at that. Still, it is likewise a pleasure, Miss....?

Video;

[innocent_royal]

I've been regarded by some as a beacon of hope, and by others, the harbinger of destruction. The rest regard me as neither. I believe the actions I take will leave a lasting impression for historians to decide if I had the makings of a hero, or a villain.

As for All Might, I believe I am aware of him, but never had the opportunity to be acquainted.

[symbol_of_evil]

Good then, don't become acquainted with him. He will force you to fit into one or role or the other whether you want to or not. Everything is binaries with him.

(Video)

[decisiveconquest]

I am the only one from mine. (She isn't sure how to approach the rest of what he said.) You sound like a pair of metaphors to me. Why were you imprisoned?

[notquitedracula]

We are each of us the hero of our own narrative, so that's a bit of an awkward question.

anonymous text;

[originbullets]

It depends. What would you say constitutes a 'hero'?

( Kiritsugu himself is only vaguely aware of who this man is referring to, so he sees no need to comment upon it. But as for his other question? Consider his interest piqued. )
