Baldur was bored. He had been watching things as they go since he first arrived and honestly. There just wasn't a hell of a lot that he would consider exciting. Day by day of peace. The occasional argument. Whatever the hell the actual election thing was. That really helped him understand the people here.

But he knew other ways to test people in the best way he knew how. Get them to face the things that they probably hated about themselves. He knew very well what it would result in so with a flick of his wrist a puff of smoke appeared before moving through the air. To one's eye, it would be in possible to see, but it drifted out through the city. Any mirror near a person Baldur wanted to test would slowly be consumed by the smoke, turning it black before turning back to its normal colour.

Once he was sure things were sorted, the young man found himself smirking. "Let's see if people really aren't capable of accepting the things they hate about themselves by themselves."

[OOC: This post starts off the event. If you haven't signed up and would like to, please follow the link here. To note you cannot have your character affected if you don't sign up.]

The following rumors are going around as NPC gossip. Your characters are welcome to hear them. The rumors may be true or false, and the subject of the rumor is randomly selected from the taken list. If a character shares the same first name with another character, we will not specify which one it is.

This week's rumors are:

1. Thea and Rip teamed up during the heatwave, breaking air conditioner units to scare people into hotel rooms so they could take all of their possessions while they were out!

2. Dove accidentally tripped into an Everglade swamp while on a job... it turned out to be radioactive. I heard she's starting to go around as a radioactive swamp monster? Is she a villain or a hero? Either way, yuck!! Maybe Iggy will be able to do something about her now? I've heard he's going around as the hero ManDog.

3. Desperate for new friends, Lady Amalthea is hosting a goukon. I heard she's inviting Eliwood, Archer, and Lightning but is telling everyone to make sure that Imelda doesn't find out...

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A VISIBLE POST TO CHARACTERS. IT IS JUST WHAT THEY MAY HEAR GOING AROUND AS CHATTER AROUND THE CITIES.

[Rip had surprisingly left the apartment today without having to be dragged out. She was feeling.. restless and couldn't sleep. So, she decided to go for a walk during the day, still dressed in her lovely suits and carrying an umbrella over her shoulder to hide her from the sun. It was on one of her many stops in the park where she heard a certain... rumor.

And then promptly couldn't stop laughing for several minutes.]


Vhere, I von't deny zhat rumor sounds like something I might haf done at one point in my life.....my main question is zhis; Vho is this Thea I vas supposedly vorking vith?  Now I'm just curious to know. 

[With the dreams ending when they did, it didn’t take Bakugou long to rouse awake. Everything that had happened… everything that had taken place because of him. His eyes gazed gloomily at the floor, but he managed a dull:]

Aizawa-sensei, you awake?

[But he had no more time to dwell when he glanced at where he expected his teacher to be, safe if not in his usual exhausted state. He wasn’t prepared for the blood.]


[When Aizawa came around as well, everything was dark. The mission…. Overhaul…. His students and allies! That’s right, he was doing something important. Yet, something wasn’t right. He still couldn’t move. He remembered he was struck with something before he passed out, and the conversation with the villain, he talked too much. But the most important question, was he still dreaming? It was hard to tell until he heard Bakugou’s voice.

If Bakugou looked towards Aizawa, his eyes were wrapped with a white cloth. His right shoulder bled from a fresh stabbed wound. Aizawa couldn’t say anything or lift a finger. He managed to let out a low groan, but that was it.

Now… what did that villain said after he was hit? One hour… this was turning out great.]

Ai-

Aizawa-sensei! [Bakugou’s voice was hoarse with panic as he tore out from his seat to run to his teacher’s side. Had he been attacked while they were left completely vulnerable? It was the only explanation he could think of. How long had he been left here bleeding out? Helplessly, his hands hovered over the stab wound. How the fuck was he supposed to stop the bleeding? What if he made things worse? Dammit, he was a fighter, not a healer. His eyes glanced at the bandages before he came to a decision.]

I’m calling for help, and then I’ll try to stop the bleeding. Hang on…

[Retrieving his device, his fingers panickedly mashed on the screen as he made a rushed video to the network:]

[Video]

[The image may be a little shaky, but it’s easy to see the bleeding figure of Aizawa over Bakugou’s shoulder. For some reason, his eyes are bandaged too. The blonde doesn’t even bother to breathe before he yells over the network (thank goodness for his strong lungs):]

I need a fucking healer, STAT-!

You hear me?! Answer me, dammit! Aizawa-sensei’s, he’s…

Satou, Fire Hair, Monster Pet, I don’t give a shit who responds, just hurry the hell up!

[ooc: Black is Aizawa and orange is Bakugou!]

[A lot has happened since Goku last addressed the community at large, mostly because he tends to forget where his device is. His arch-enemy showed up (and left), his birth father showed up (and left), his rival showed up, he got a job, he moved to another city...

He didn't put anything on the network for any of that, so whatever he's here to talk about must be important, right?]

Hey, everyone! Who's the strongest person you've ever fought? It could be here or back home; I just wanna hear about 'em!

[...Of course not; it's Goku. Training against the same people in the Holodeck again and again can get old, especially since Goku can't quite figure out how to get the holograms of Beerus, Whis, Monaka, Arale, and the other powerhouses to fight at full power. Either he gets a wider variety of opponents to face in there or he gets to fight an actual person - either way, he gets what he wants!]

[Ren's in a room with some musical instruments and recording devices behind him. It's not the Fama building, that much is sure. Instead he's at home, in Attleton, in a room reserved only for music making.]

This is Ren Jinguji - an idol with a contract with the Fama Agency.

I apologize that I missed the Music Festival completely, but that would be because I've been very busy recently. It takes a lot of time to record an album, pose for the camera, spending time with your fiancee and so on... but I'm almost ready to release my first album of songs.

Today, I wanted to share a piece from the album. A live performance through the video. Please sit back and enjoy. The mute button is there for a reason, if you don't want to listen for whatever reason.

[The song he sings for the video is Sekai no Hate Made Believe Heart. When he ends the song he smiles, satisfied.]

Look forward to the full album, as well as any future performances.


[Action]: the second job

[On some nights, Ren can be spotted in the Bright Sky Diner, waiting tables and casually chatting with anyone who's feeling lonely. He seems to be excellent at what he does and he serves everyone with a smile. Some girls even get a wink, because he can't help his Casanova-like nature.]
