VIDEO//Locked to Guardians, deputies and MHA allies

[foriamhere]

[All Might appears on the screen--not looking quite the part of a "bony malnourished orphan". In fact, he has gained enough weight since the end of December to only look gaunt instead of dangerously emaciated. Regardless of the softening of his features his eyes are sharp and his expression serious.]

Hello. Some of you know me, some of you do not. My name is Toshinori Yagi, also known by my code name, All Might. It is imperative that i share information with the guardians and their deputies in regard to the recent arrival known only as "All For One". I have included a link to the broadcast he recently made so that you may easily identify him.

I do not trust my encryption abilities well enough to share explicit details across the network, aside from the fact that this man is extremely dangerous and should not be underestimated. I will be meeting with Dante and Satou Kuroneko tonight at Devil May Cry to discuss the specifics of the potential threat. I implore you to join us.

[ooc; MHA allies... are basically anyone Aizawa would ok (I'm too lazy to get an actual list) If you think your pup is on the list they probably are. Action/Prose header prompts for the meeting to follow]

PRE-MEETING MINGLE

[foriamhere]

ALL-FOR-ONE INFORMATION DUMP

[foriamhere]

[All Might stands before the group with a small notecard of bullet points to make sure he hits everything he needs to. He may technically be healthier than he has been for six years but he is pale and rattled even if he is doing his best to hide it.]

First, thank you all for coming here tonight. I need to emphasize the importance of this and I only hope that the preparations turn out to be unnecessary in the end.

To understand the threat you need to understand the aspect of our world involving meta powers, or "quirks" as we call them. Roughly 80% of the populace now has a power of some kind ranging from simple physical mutations to activated abilities such as Present Mic's voice amplification and Eraserhead's erasure. It has been nearly two centuries* since the advent of quirks and our society has finally stabilized from their appearance, but it is still a precarious balance.

If you were here in November you would have seen and dealt with the attack on Bulla Brief by Tomura Shigaraki and heard his statements in regard to "Heroes". It is important to understand that when they speak of Heroes it is in reference to the occupation that has necessarily arisen due to quirk related crime and the choice to keep quirk usage separated from law enforcement. Pro Heroes in our world are civil servants who have been trained, certified and licensed to use their quirks freely in public to aid in law enforcement and disaster rescue. Their group is known as the League of Villains and while All For One is the leader, Shigaraki has been making the recent decisions. In our world their goal has been to destabilize society by breaking the public's faith in the Pro Hero system. In his opening statements to Genessia as a whole All For One has already begun to sew those seeds of doubt.

All For One's quirk is the power to steal and pass along other quirks. Somewhere along the line he has procured a quirk to stop the aging process and has become functionally immortal. He has been alive for well over a century building power. He appeared shortly after the quirk advent and rose to power by using society's mass confusion to his gain. He built himself up in the underground and effectively held power over Japan for decades from the shadows through his connections and stolen power.

[He pauses momentarily to gather his thoughts and maybe steel himself. This is the hard part. Time to call. Cards on the table.]

If the time comes that he must be actively stopped... I can no longer do it. For all intents and purposes I am now quirkless. My quirk was one originally derived from All For One himself--one of the reasons he is so vehemently targeting me personally. My quirk, "One for All" is a fusion of two quirks--a stockpile quirk and a quirk to pass along other quirks. It was created when All For One attempted to force the stockpiler quirk onto his younger brother in order to bend him to his will. The result was a quirk that has been saving the strength and the power of the users for generations, each user honing it in hopes to become strong enough to finally stop All For One. I was the eighth holder--and I faced All For One six years ago where I thought I had finally killed him. We never recovered his body, but no one thought he could have survived the damage he sustained. But then, no one thought I would survive the damage I sustained either...

I burned through almost everything I had surviving that fight, and once I was healed my body could no longer handle the strength of the quirk anymore. After my body wasted away for five years I made the decision and passed it on to the ninth user. Any embers of One For All that were left in me were used up when I faced All For One for the second time just before my arrival in Genessia. If a fight comes... I will completely useless--and he knows it.

[He just looks tired as he continues. Tired and used up.]

As much as it pains me to do it, I have to turn this over to the rest of you and anyone else who may have the strength to stop him. I believe there is time. All For One is a master tactician and being functionally immortal his plans seem to take years to unfold. If we are lucky the powers that be may not even keep him here long enough for any plans to be put in motion--but it is his ability to steal quirks that is most concerning--and more importantly how that may translate across worlds. The array of power in this place is staggering and to be blunt the possibility of him stealing that power from other worlds is terrifying.

[He stops, lowering his eyes for a moment before taking a breath and letting out a heavy sigh.]

That... is the meat of what I needed to say. If there are questions I will answer them to the best of my ability.

[ooc: *or insert correct time frame here if we ever get one]

POST MEETING

[foriamhere]

FML ANYTHING ELSE

[foriamhere]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla listens quietly. This is frightening stuff, but her world has had its own share of terrifying villains. Some capable of destroying planets.]

Well, first of all...just because you can't fight him on the front lines anymore doesn't make you useless. You know more about him than anyone else here, and you can help train all of us to fight him, if it comes to that.

[And she's pretty sure it will come to that.]

Second, how much force did it take to almost kill him?

GENESSIA DEPUTY/GUARDIAN PRE-GAME HUDDLE

[priceofmagic]

[It's been preying on Satou's mind since she heard who All For One was: Tomura's teacher. An ally to the person who dropped a building on Bulla.

Obviously, that's someone that Satou has many personal reasons to hate. Bulla isn't just her Deputy, but her friend. She knows that the other Deputies probably feel the same way.]

We need to discuss our stance on Tomura Shiragaki, and what he did to Bulla. [Team Huddle, GO.]

[priceofmagic]

[Satou also listens attentively. Mentally, she's making note of what this means not just for Genessia, but for those from this world of "quirks." One of their scariest threats is here, so she understands that they must be nervous.

Shortly after he finishes, Satou raises her hand with a question.]

Elaborate on how his quirk stealing works, please.

[foriamhere]

[He still felt like he was going to be sick. He sits by himself, head down, hands folded and worrying his fingers together. Part of him wonders if this was some sort of karmic flip for having his injuries healed... it wouldn't surprise him...]

[priceofmagic]

Toshinori-san?

[Satou can't ignore such obvious stress. She's able to stand on even level with him as he's sitting, and upholds a calm facade. There's a lot that she needs to talk to him about, but it can wait until after his speech. Before that, though, there is less official business to attend to.]

You're going to make your hands stiff like that.

[scarlet_devil]

I for one would like to see how he can deal with my power at it's fullest. He's not seen anyone like me before.

[ Remilia, as ever, was a fountain of confidence. Someone's gonna get herself hurt... ]

[alwaysimpaled]

[Dante, meanwhile was rummaging through his fridge and getting drinks for his guests. He wasn't used to entertaining so All Might was getting a Whiskey, and Satou was getting some orange juice. He himself had what appeared to be a sake bottle with a hazmat sticker on it.]

Sorry for the mess folks. Didn't exactly have time to clean up.

[He pulls his chair from the desk over to the table after setting the drinks down.]

[foriamhere]

[He gives her a tired half smile. Caught.]

Aa... that's why I gathered you here...

As for the force...? Enough wind pressure to change the weather small area. And that was after trading blows for an extended period of time.

That is also assuming he doesn't find someone to heal his damage as I did. If he manages to revert himself... [Huh, looks like he can go paler] I can't even tell you. The first fight was long and drawn out--it was a matter of wearing each other down until one of us finally slipped up and gained an edge--and even then it was close... [Christ it was so close... even an inch to the right and he wouldn't have survived it.]

[scarlet_devil]

[ Remilia isn't too worried that they'd be able to beat Shiragaki... or his boss, for that matter. ]

So, does anyone have an idea where he is hiding?

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla's glad for Satou's support, both as a boss and as a friend. She's pushed herself and trained to try to work through her fears, and now that Shigaraki's dangerous mentor is here, she's glad she's been pushing herself so hard.]

Shigaraki is guilty of assault, multiple counts of attempted murder, destruction to property, terrorism, and possibly actual murder here too, considering that the owner of the vehicle that him and his accomplice brought me to the warehouse in is missing without a trace.

[She outlines it all reasonably logically, because they have to avoid bias as much as they can. Not an easy task.]

The post is still there on the network...so that's indisputable proof that he's guilty of several of the crimes I listed.

[And no one had shown him any noticeable support, thankfully.]

I want us to arrest him and make sure he's put through the legal system as fairly as possible. He hates order and heroes, so let's take him down like proper law enforcement.

[alwaysimpaled]

Okay, I only have one real question here. At his absolute strongest, using everything he's got currently, what's your best guess as to how hard he can hit?

[priceofmagic]

[Satou can hear that confidence, which worries her slightly.]

Not really. He's kept his head low as of late, but that may change now that he has allies.

[foriamhere]

[He shakes his head.]

Unfortunately I don't know how the transfer works on his end. One for All was passed by a combination of the existing weilder's will to pass it along combined with the consumption of DNA. I would assume it is something similar being that the quirks are two sides of the same coin but there is no way to know for sure. It could be as simple as a prolonged touch

[alwaysimpaled]

I don't feel like there's much of a debate as to our stance. I don't think anyone is against bringing him in. Question is, how do we keep him locked up. From what Aizawa says, anything he touches crumbles to ash. Attleton's not really able to hold him.

[sleepingbagsensei]

[And then Aizawa brings a couple of boxes of pizza and beer through the door.]

Hey. Got any more of that?

[Mostly asking Dante, eyeing that sake bottle.]

Brought pizza.

[priceofmagic]

Agreed. We need to have that video on file. I think we should contact the media about making a report, and showing the footage again without audio. We need to promptly squash All For One's credibility, and that can start with his student.

[Satou doesn't want to give their apparent enemy any additional ammo.]

The fact also remains that he had someone to film the incident with a camera. We need to be searching for that person. It's possible he has support, but they aren't as vocal as he is.

[alwaysimpaled]

Yeah, I'm just gonna throw this out there, of the Guardians, I'm probably the safest best. Not to toot my own horn, but I've actually got experience with quirks and how they function.

Whatever the source of my strength is, it's not a quirk by that world's standards. Knowing what I know, I should be able to keep him confused at the very least.

[alwaysimpaled]

Yeah you're not getting any of the sake.

[He holds up the bottle, tapping the hazmat sticker.]

I'm glad to see you've paid my fee for hosting this shindig though.

[priceofmagic]

My magic can't be deteriorated, so we can start there. I wouldn't be surprised if we have other magic users with similar powers.

I don't think he could do anything against electricity, fire, water, or wind magics either. Do we know anyone with those specialties?

[foriamhere]

Ah-- [He's pulled from his thoughts because OH HEY, THERE ARE PEOPLE AROUND HIM. He unlaces his fingers since he just got told haha...]

[And without much thought to it he takes that offered shot like it's a life saver, because right now it kind of IS.]

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this at all...

[priceofmagic]

I see... If touch is a factor, then I just need to keep him at a distance is something comes up. Hm.

[She taps her cheek thoughtfully as she continues,] I'd like to know more about quirks in general.

[...]

Considering this: If he's been alive as long as you say, then he's very familiar with them. However, we could turn that familiarity back on him. If he's thinking of everyone's power as being like a quirk, then we need to exploit what makes our abilities different.
