[Izuku Midoriya holds the communicator far enough in front of him that it puts both him and Neito Monoma in equal view. Izuku’s face is fairly sober from where he stands on the sidewalk in front of the Schnee Foundation.]
It seems like it’s working according to the instructions.
[He knits his brow, a gloved hand knuckling his mouth. His expression eases as he glances toward the taller blond boy beside him. For the time being, it seems like the rivalry between their classes has been set aside in favor of navigating this situation as a quasi-team.]
Do you want to go first?
[He gestures toward the radio, dropping his hand from his mouth. It’s a show of good faith, since Monoma in the past has always seemed...well, a little bitter about the attention given to Class 1A]
[Finding oneself kidnapped means pragmatism takes precedence over a rivalry. If that means he has to temporarily team up with a student from 1A to get results, so be it. He’ll simply have to make sure to get a better job, and exceed Midoriya and anyone else from class 1A who might be here in more civilian ways. He takes the radio. He’s skeptical about spirits, but since their only source of information has claimed spirits are responsible, he won’t question it for now.]
Does anyone here know why the spirits have kidnapped us? Do they have specific criteria? Or could someone have been an innocent bystander near someone more likely to get in trouble?
[He looks pointedly in the direction of the other boy with him at that last part. Yup, that bitterness toward 1A is still in tact. He’s just toning it down in light of their circumstances.]
Er…
[Izuku really can’t think of anything to say to that. So he doesn’t even try. He gives his head a quick shake before resuming Serious Talk.]
We’d also like any updates on the current state of affairs, especially where crimefighting is concerned. We’re both heroes in training--
[He reaches for his pocket, then pales, and starts patting himself down more frantically. Oh no! He showed up here without his wallet?! Aw c’mon!]
J-just a second! My license…
[He fishes his phone out of his pocket, quickly tapping at the screen until his mouth quirks wryly and he turns the device around. There’s a picture of his license bearing his smiling face, his name, and his status as a provisionally licensed hero. Was it necessary to provide proof? Probably not! But it still feels like he should to lend them credibility.]
My wallet wasn’t in my pocket when I was taken, so I guess this will have to do for now. I’m Izuku Midoriya. This is Neito Monoma. We may be new, but we’re here to help wherever we might be needed.
[Izuku pockets his phone again, looking to the other teen to see if there’s anything else he wants to add.]
[Huh. That was more diplomatic and well spoken than Neito would have expected from the rival class, so he skips out on making any further snide remarks and simply nods.]
We’ll eagerly await your answers.
[Izuku grins, then waves at the screen. That went pretty good!]
[OOC: Green is Midoriya, blue is Monoma. Either one will answer unless someone is sending a private message!]
