Emma + Ochako

[inheritance]

[Ever since Izuku had noticed how down Emma seemed to be about living on her own, he's wanted to do something to cheer her up. Enlisting Uraraka's help had seemed like the best way to do this. ]

Do you think this is enough? [Izuku squints down at the food that he and Uraraka just spent a while preparing. It's nothing fancy, but it'll be enough for the three of them, at the least.]

[thriftea]

[Deku can squint up close all that he likes, but Ochako takes a step back to survey the spread of food: grilled fish, grilled purple potatoes, and grilled blue corn. No one can say that they're particularly creative, but. An effort was made!!]

It should be. [She gives everything one last look, then finally nods with satisfaction.] We make a good team, Deku-kun! This didn't take long at all!

[inheritance]

[Uraraka thinks they're a good team! Izuku basks in that thought for a moment, even though they've known that since that first class with All Might.]

I-it's because we both know how to cook a little... [They might not be as skilled as Satou or Bakugou, but they know enough to pull this off!] We should team up again some other time.

[And now he'll grab the basket they'd scavenged for beforehand.] Let's pack everything away and head over to Emma-chan's place before it all gets cold!

[thriftea]

[But now they know that they're a great crime-fighting team and a great meal-prep team! This is very important, obviously, and it's why she looks so excited at the idea of doing this again.]

Maybe we can make dinner for everyone during our next sleepover?

[One that won't involve shadows, thank God. But with that amazing idea in mind, she happily begins helping him wrap and pack every dish.]

It's nice to cook for other people, especially when it's a surprise. I can't wait to see Emma-chan's face!

Keith

[inheritance]

[Though the two of them agreed to work on the quest together, it's another story to actually come up with a skill that either of them can learn. Izuku leans forward, tilting his head as he looks over at Keith.]

Let's see... is there anything you want to learn?

[lonered]

Sure. Lots of stuff. I think.

[His skill set as is is pretty narrow. Flying, fighting, brooding. All at professional levels. Everything else... lacking.] In this place... gardening or hunting or cooking would come in handy. But... I mean what can you teach?

[inheritance]

If we had flour, I could teach you how to bake, but... [That's definitely something they're still missing when it comes to food resources.]

I know how to draw, I guess? You already know how to fight, and that's pretty much the only thing I'm okay at.

Nyx

[inheritance]

[It's new, going on a quest with someone who isn't from home, but Izuku knows that Nyx is more than capable of handling what the forest might throw at them.

Still, the forest is the forest, and with all the trouble they've run into because of it, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.]

This is a little different from the quests I did last time. Hopefully it shouldn't be too difficult to find the Jorogumo.

[sirnyxalot]

[Nyx is decked out in his full armor. The sturdy leather is still worn from his last moments in Insomnia, and he hasn't been able to figure out how to repair the tiny holes where he'd been shot, but the coat is more than enough protection to deal with whatever monsters they'll find on this trip. He wishes he still had his face mask, but the metal broke off before he even got here.

Izuku looks young, too young to be doing what Nyx is accustomed to, but the kid's highly intelligent and while Nyx doesn't know quite yet what he's capable of he's not too worried about having him out in the forest. It's not Izuku's first time out there, after all.

If nothing else, Nyx is confident in his ability to protect him if necessary.]

Any idea what kind of creature it is we're looking for? I don't know the term 'jorogumo'.

[inheritance]

[There's an air about Nyx that Izuku recognizes from the more seasoned proheroes--he's seen fights and knows how to handle himself. Izuku had known that already after their talk at the town meeting last time, but now that they're heading into the forest for this quest together, it's even more clear now.]

We have stories about them back home. It's a youkai--um, I guess the best translation for that would be some kind of supernatural creature? Anyway, it's a spider youkai that can take on the form of a human woman.

[Youkai aren't the same as heroes or quirks, but Izuku takes to rambling on anyway, since Nyx asked him a question.]

The Jorogumo's known to use that form to trick its victims. It's why the stories always mentioned how it usually went after men because they were easier to distract when it was in its human form. I don't think they ever said anything about tracking the Jorogumo down, though, since it usually went to them.

Dave

[inheritance]

[It had taken a while to find a decent amount of paint with actual color, but they'd managed it in the end after digging around the various general stores around town. (There's still a couple containers of grey mystery paint--to fill in the blanks or for suspense? Izuku isn't really sure.)

Izuku drops another clean paintbrush into their basket of supplies, before looking over at Dave with a grin.]

So? Which part of the town should we paint?

[parodeity]

I mean...the place it'd show up best for people is maybe around the well, but...is it bad to want to paint the outside walls of my place?

[inheritance]

[Izuku cocks his head, looking puzzled.]

Why would it be bad? It's the house you're staying in, so why can't you decorate it the way you want to?

Tonbokiri

[inheritance]

[Though Tonbokiri had told Izuku that he would keep him updated on any other trips into the forest they made, it still takes Izuku by surprise when he gets another message from him, asking to meet up again. It's a good kind of surprise, though. And he's all too happy to agree, this time making the trip to Tonbokiri's place.]

Tonbokiri-san? [Izuku knocks on the door politely when he gets there.] It's Midoriya.

\o/

[youwillbeunequaled]

[Besides the fact that they'd intended to meet again to tell each other more about their worlds, there came to be more reasons for Midoriya and Tonbokiri to meet. Not only had the quests had come along, but Tonbokiri had taken another trip into the forest and as promised would report to the boy about it.

So once the rain at last cleared, it was arranged for Midoriya to meet up with Tonbokiri.

Hearing the knock on the door, Tonbokiri appears from around the corner of the house. (Probably not what Izuku was expecting.)]

Midoriya-dono! Welcome. The weather is so nice today, I was doing some things with Mikuniguro while I was waiting. [The large, round brush in his hand may serve as a hint as to what he was up to.]

Would you like to meet indoors? Or would you like to stay outside?

[inheritance]

[Though Tonbokiri surprises Izuku with his appearance, the horse's name makes Izuku perk up immediately.]

Let's stay outside with Mikuniguro. It'd be nice to see him again. Besides, you were in the middle of brushing him, right?

Riku

[inheritance]

[In terms of quests, the one about learning a new skill had immediately piqued Izuku's interest--he loves learning, loves soaking in new knowledge whenever he can. So it isn't a surprise that he's actually kind of excited when it's time to meet up with Riku to work on this one.

He smiles at Riku brightly once he's inside the house, looking at him expectantly.]

It's really cool that you can play the guitar, Nanase-kun! Can you play any other instruments?

[doublesharp]

[Oh no, Izuku's bright smile is so sincere that Riku can't help but grin brilliantly in return. Music is something that's important to him, so teaching a friend sounds twice as fun as playing alone!]

You really think so? I'm better at singing than playing the guitar, but it's also lots of fun to do both at once! [As he speaks, he gestures for Izuku to follow him down the hall and into his room.] I wish I could, but John's going to let me play his piano, so maybe I'll be able to learn a little bit! How about you, Midoriya-kun? Have you ever tried singing or playing an instrument before?

[inheritance]

I do! [There's an eager spring to his steps as he follows Riku into his room.] Can I hear you sing and play the guitar? Maybe you and John and anyone else who can play an instrument or sing could put on a show!

Ah, I haven't really tried before. That's why I'm so excited to learn this.

Dextera + Guren | Courier of Amor

[inheritance]

[Busy as Izuku's been with working on the quests, he hasn't had a chance to really go looking for the herbs until today. Once he has a good bag-full of it, Izuku heads over to Guren's place to deliver them.

Knock, knock! He hopes his teacher's home right now, or he'll have to come back later.]

[swordfucker]

[It takes him a few minutes, since he's up in his room, but he answers the door before too long, glancing down at Izuku in surprise.]

Izuku? [Hey, kiddo. He sees that bag, too, so he can assume that he's completed what he was asked to do... That's great. It gives him something more to work on.] You can come inside, if you want.

[inheritance]

Sure! [Izuku follows Guren into the house, slipping the small pack over his shoulder.]

I brought the plants you wanted. Where do you want me to put them?

Ochako

[inheritance]

Hey, Uraraka-san? I found some more blueberries while I was looking around in the forest. Want me to bring some over to you?

[thriftea]

[SWEETS...]

really? that's so lucky! you should definitely bring them over... and we can share them!!! ＼ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ／

[inheritance]

We can definitely share them!! (*⌒▽⌒*)θ～♪

Are you at your house now?
