[ Video ] - [1] [ The Arrival! ]

[canbeheroic]

[ He hadn't left the bay; the boy would be visibly fretting beside the ivory pillars of the openings, a hologram at his back, a magazine at the crux of his throat with multiple leaflets almost spilling themselves to the floor. The sleep hadn't been kind to Izuku's hair, which, while naturally haphazard, was now bed-headed to a point of stupidity. In a rush, concern shining in his eyes, ]

H-Hello? Can anyone hear me!?

[ He wasn't quite sure who would be receiving the video call-- there had been a woman chattering to him about the safety of this place... he had, however, stopped listening to her long ago. After the fifth time she had repeated herself, that was. After all, wasn't this a kidnapping attempt...!? Were there police on the line? Were the pro-heroes informed?! With a short breath in, ]

My... my name is Izuku Midoriya! [ He's yelling rather loudly at the comms. ] I understand that this place, Genessia, has taken a number of us hostage. W-We must form a group and work together if we're going to escape....! If any pro-heroes are listening, a number of people need your help...!

[ Oh, he had read the pamphlet as fast as he could all right. It was simply that he didn't want to 'give up' so easily. ]

super locked to izuku

[scarlet_devil]

[ What looks like a young girl of ten, minus the inhuman eyes and wings that would no doubt be quite mundane to someone from his kind of world, is quick to reply. The little vampire was as well groomed as usual, minus the slightly harried look she was now giving her screen. ]

Stop shouting. We can hear you just fine.

[ A pause, then a sigh. ] First... do All Might and All For One mean anything to you?

Re: super locked to izuku

[canbeheroic]

Y-Yes, ma'am.

[ So polite! Ah, this small one had an intimidating air about her... no doubt in possession of a powerful quirk that lent her those gleaming eyes... his own expression had shifted to one of flustered anxiety, before two names caused his body to suddenly jolt-- ]

All Might is here?! [ Oh right, he wasn't supposed to be shouting. Using a free hand to stuff against his mouth, eyes burning with resolution, ] All... All for one was locked away, quite a bit back, in our world...

[youfool]

Welcome back Izuku.

[And just because he's in a rare mood of tact.]

Yes, you've been before, and there's videos of the fact, but it's not especially important. What is are reckless accusations. Before your anxiety spikes anymore, pray tell how you've come to "understand" a mass kidnapping?

Re: Video

[canbeheroic]

But... I can't have been here before, unless... unless someone erased my memory with an erasure quirk, or maybe this is all in fact a lie, like a game, and I'm playing that game right now which means there has to be a way to win somehow, it could just be a matter of finding the 'boss' and taking him down but if someone has the power to do all of this then I might not be enough, I need to--

[ The boy seemed to be mostly muttering to himself, after a few breathless sentences there didn't seem to be any way to understand what the heck he was saying. Thankfully he does eventually stop, if only because he didn't answer the others question-- ]

Ah, apologies! W-Well, you see... taking someone without their consent, enough people to forge an economy and a city for itself could be reasonably called a 'mass kidnapping'. Right...?

[ He suddenly seems a tad unsure of himself. ]

Video

[priceofmagic]

[The petite girl to show up on screen wears a purposeful smile: She can tell this kid is panicked, that he sounds new, and that he needs to breath. Also, which world he's from. Pro-hero is a pretty specific term.]

Good day, Izuku-san~! I'm guessing you're from the same world as Mr All Might and Shouta?

My name is Satou Kuroneko. I'm the Guardian of Genessia. How can I be of service to you?

Re: Video

[canbeheroic]

[ Ah, a cute girl all of a sudden...! With a steadfast nod, thankfully getting time to breathe while he listens to her talk, the alarm of hearing those two names actually causes the pamphlets that had been held to his collar by his chin to topple down off camera! ]

I am! [ Spoken with a gasp and a sudden look of urgency. There were others here. He needed to locate them-- fast. ]

Are you the one that brought us here, miss... Kuroneko?

hello [Video]

[vociferates]

Oi, oi. Midoriya. Where are you?

[Normally, he might be a little bit more upbeat, but it's hard to when Izuku is so clearly freaking out. Not to mention other... recent revelations.]

Re: hiiiii!!

[canbeheroic]

-- Present Mic!! [ The rush of air that left him was out of relief, ah, thank the lucky stars... there was not only someone here he knew, but someone strong... however. The others off-tempo-ness was not missed, and immediately-- ]

Are you all right? [ Priorities. ] I'm near a cave with water, and pamphlets, and there was a hologram here... I woke up out of this strange silver thing. Have we really been kidnapped...?

[video]

[chikapolilla]

Oh. You're new.

[She said with about as much empathy as a machine that is more interested in testing than making friends.]

Well, if you're looking for "heroes," you won't be disappointed. There are a lot of them out there, so I don't doubt they will be coming for you.

Not sure what they're going to do to help you out. I mean they are pretty much trapped in here with you.

Re: [video]

[canbeheroic]

Trapped...?

[ The boy wasn't shaken by the others temperament what-so-ever and seemed to only grow more near to the camera. An inspection of the other-- well, that X that marred an eye probably had something to do with her powers, right? She had the overall appearance and mannerisms of a villain... it was best to proceed with caution. ]

If others came with me then we will definitely escape... are you trapped in here, too?

[ Because if she was, he didn't have to keep looking at her with some hidden anxieties about her plans and goals. ]

[Video]

[maskgunraid]

Dude, if you want to make a first impression, try not to freak out too much. Not everyone can understand your panicked rants on video.

Besides, I doubt we're kidnapped or something.

[Sure, it seemed like he was kidnapped and put in prison in form of this strange city, but he didn't care that tiny detail a bit.]

Re: [Video]

[canbeheroic]

How can you be so casual about something like this...! [ This guy looked as young as he was...! ]

video

[spitefullight]

Oh, thank the goddess, someone else who finds this weird as all hell.

[ He's been given the answers already on what's going on, but it's nice to see someone else freaking out. Still, this guy is definitely freaking out worse.]

Hey, hey! Izuku guy, take a breath for a second! You won't be able to think if you lose all that air.

Re: video

[canbeheroic]

Ah-!

[ Yes... breathing was important. Taking notes from the stranger he settles himself down just enough to stop his excessive fretting, gaze trailing off to the far side. ]

Going to sleep in your bed, then waking up somewhere completely different... everyone else doesn't seem to mind... but you can't let your guard down in a situation like this, right?

[Video]

[fashionably_strong]

Hi Izuku!

[She remembers him from before, but it seems clear that he doesn't remember being here.]

My name is Bulla Brief and I'm one of the deputies of Genessia city. Welcome. Um...these multiversal nexus places are pretty weird, and I know it's pretty scary to suddenly wind up here, but most people are nice and willing to help.

Re: [Video]

[canbeheroic]

Most people are... nice? [ Come to think of it, he hadn't met any terrors yet... merely people barking at him to stop yelling. Still--! ]

So you're a deputy... you don't...

[ Seem like a villain. Bamboozlement settled over him like a wet blanket in winter. ]

Yeah... scary and confusing. How can I trust anyone...?

private.

[sleepingbagsensei]

Midoriya.

[He addresses him calmly, until the kid finally stops talking.]

What's the last thing you remembered?

[Talk about first priorities.]

Re: private.

[canbeheroic]

S-Sir!

[ He finds calm in the others existence, in the image of his teachers face unharmed... and furrows his brows before speaking softly, just in case anyone was listening. Even on private comms, sometimes you could never be too careful. Without question, Izuku obeys, ]

We said good-bye to each other after visiting Eri with Monoma... I went back to my room, then woke up here...

Video/Private

[foriamhere]

[Ho-ly. Shit.]

[He just sits and stares for a moment because he's torn between glee at seeing his son successor again--and enough of an anxiety spike that he almost needs to scrape himself off the ceiling of the training center. Considering All For One's arrival he would have much preferred for Midoriya and any of the students to remain far, far away.]

MIDORIYA, MY BOY!

[When he finally gets himself to respond he packs his nerves away behind his usual toothy grin--though something definitely seems different. A betting man would say he has put on a significant amount of weight since the last time Midoriya saw him--significant enough that his cheek bones are no longer razor edges on his face and there's a slight roundness to his chin and jaw. He still doens't quite look healthy by any means, but he doesn't look like he has one foot in the grave either.]

CALM DOWN! IT'S OK!

[Well. As ok as it could be, all things considered.]

Welcome to Genessia--what's the last thing you remember, my boy?

[Because that has a hell of a lot of bearing on what he talks about and how he talks about it...]

Private- NEVER FEAR, FOR DAD IS HERE

[canbeheroic]

[ Midoriya has to do a double take-- this... was All Might wasn't it? The differences in the man he saw almost daily were enough for that cautious expression to remain on the boys face, even if his heart yearned to rush to the others side like some lost thing to its home-- however. Though others had mentioned that All Might was indeed, here, the logical time that had to have taken place for him to look this well collided with the 'Might he had seen but the day before. That, and All For One kept being brought up by complete strangers! What was going on here?! Instead of racing head-first into the situation...

... Deku has been staring at the screen for around forty seconds with a blank look upon his face. ]

A-Ah! All Might...!! [ He eventually splutters out, brows turned upwards with little beads of sweat gathering upon his cheeks, ] I d-don't want to second-guess you, but... could you please tell me the name of Sir Nighteye's top candidate and first pick for your successor, 'till you ran into me...?

[ Something only the real All Might would know...! Could it have been less convoluted? Yes. But it was something... he thought about a lot, perhaps too much. ]

[Video]

[alwaysimpaled]

Jesus, kid.. some of us are trying to sleep here.

Re: [Video]

[canbeheroic]

If... if you're trying to sleep, why not set your phone-device-thing to vibrate...

[lordgivemestrength]

Hi there Mr Izuku.

[Don't mind the tiny white wings behind her.]

I'm Flonne. Don't worry, not everyone in the nexus is a villain. We've been getting both heroes and villains lately.

Is it true you come from a world of pro heroes and villains? Are you a hero in training or a fan? If so, what's your heroic speech? Are the Prism Rangers there too?

[RIP Deku.]

[canbeheroic]

Ah... I see--

[ A sudden barrage of comments...! It takes a few moments for the poor boys mind to really register what is being said here, what came first and what to think of last-- ]

I... I do! I'm a h-hero in training... so I want to help out--

What's a Prism Ranger?

[demonofbadluck]

[Baldur had a finger in his ear and waited till he was done talking before removing it.]

Never thought I'd hear someone so loud. People can hear you just fine if you talk normally.

Re: video;

[canbeheroic]

W... When there is trouble or people in danger, you should be loud so that the heroes can seek you out!

[ That went for villains too, Izuku becomes a little meek looking as his eyes focus on the image on the screen, ]

I was startled... by the everything that is this place.

[ivegotadream]

I can hear you loud and clear. Though you don't need to be so worried, there are so many good people that will help you I am sure.

If you do form a group I would happy to help myself. [Though she herself didn't see much of a reason to leave considering.]

[canbeheroic]

A-All right! What sort of powers do you have?

[ The kid asks enthusiastically, eager to hear... ]

[madcuriosity]

Eeep! Oh ah, sir, it... you're being a bit... I'm sure you're confused a bit. I suppose let's start with a proper introduction? Hello, Mr. Midoriya, yes I can hear you.

You're a hero? What is a pro-hero? Is that different from a regular hero?

[canbeheroic]

I think-- I think I'm calm now.

[ This was accompanied by nervous laughter that perhaps said otherwise, ]

A... ah, a pro... hero, its... uh, [ The boy seemed a little bit distracted-- this was most definately down to the fact that the other was a pretty little lady with a dashing accent... and he didn't talk to girls much that he didn't know. Swallowing, face burning red, ]

I, I want to save people... when I'm allowed, a-ahaha! [ _{BOY PLS. ]}
