[Shouto's where he said he would be. He's in his hero outfit, which really just looks like a janitor's uniform with a few extras strapped on for good measure. But he's just gotten his new clothes, he'd rather not have to go scavenging for new ones.

He's scanning around for Mysterious and Keith... only to realize he has no idea what Keith looks like. It's such an obvious oversight...]

Comments

[lonered]

[In fairness, Keith shows up in full Blade uniform, mask and all, so he's not exactly easy to recognize even to people who do know him. But he is noticeable, so there's that.

He makes his way to the well, sees someone waiting there and hazards a guess,] ...are you one of the guys I'm meeting? For, uh, going after a wolf?

[Introductions are awkward. He's not great at this.]

[i_cant_die]

Good. You're both here. [Says a voice from on top of one of the awnings of a nearby house. He front flips and lands on his feet on the ground. He walks over, staff strapped to his back. He looks between the two of them. He pulls the pliers out of his pants pocket.] I'm ready to play wolf dentist if you two are.

[glaciers]

[That's just... so excessive. That's All Might levels of excessive.]

Yeah, I'm Shouto Todoroki. You're Keith, and this is Mysterion.

Has anybody seen a wolf out there? Because this could be a while.

[lonered]

[Small child in costume with a familiar staff. WELL. THEN. This is Keith extra glad he decided to tag along for this.

He doesn't say anything though, but does lift a hand to disengage his mask for the moment.]

Not yet no, but wolves should be in the woods, right? Let's hope they're not too hard to find.

[i_cant_die]

It won't be hard to find them. Danger has a knack for finding me. Or the other way around. [Mysterion said with a shrug. It was the truth. He looks out to the forest.] Let's make sure to leave a trail to come back and wonder into the forest. The wolves will smell us and come looking eventually.

[glaciers]

Wolves probably don't want anything to do with us. How good are you two at being stealthy?

[He'd really rather not have a Midoriya level trouble magnet, but they'll figure themselves out one way or another.]

Anybody have string? I can make some ice to follow, but it'll melt depending on how long we're out there.

[lonered]

Depends how desperate and hungry they are.

[A shrug of his shoulders, and Keith shakes his head.] The forest... sort of shifts. Like it has a mind of its own. Or at least that's what it feels like.

[No this is good they'll be fine.]

[i_cant_die]

I rock at being stealthy. I don't got string. Let's mark trees and have someone climb up them to get a look around the area. That way, even if the forest shifts we know which trees are tall enough to see the town if we climb up.

[glaciers]

There's probably something better than humans in the forest. I thought I saw a weird deer.

I don't have a knife on me. Or chalk. But I can get up a tree fast enough.

[lonered]

And I've got a blade.

[Which he brandishes in demonstration before slipping it back into its sheath. Sounds like a good enough plan to Keith.]

And there are deer. But they're... not normal.

[i_cant_die]

[Mysterion smirks as an idea comes to mind.] If we find a deer, I saw we catch it and use it as bait. Wolves will smell the blood. How are they not normal? Do they have like two heads or something?

[glaciers]

If the deer aren't normal then the wolves probably aren't either.

But if we've got a way back, we might as well get started.

[He'll start walking towards the forest.]

[lonered]

There's not a lot of normal in general here.

[Keith frowns, but nods at the mention of getting going.] I still don't particularly like running errands for the folks in charge here, but yeah. If we're doing this, better get going. May as well make the most of the daylight, in case this does take a long time.

[i_cant_die]

It'll be fine. We go in, find a wolf, and bring back a tooth for a reward. The longer we play along, the more likely the person behind it all will get lazy. Then we find them and beat the shit out of them. [Mysterion says as he follows along with the other two.] Hunting is fun anyway. Just try to enjoy it.

[glaciers]

Or the more likely they are to keep giving us quests. Because we're being obedient.

[Shouto gives a small shrug at the hunting comment.]

This is the first time I've tried to hunt a wolf.

[lonered]

That's what I'm thinking. And they keep promising rewards on top of it.

[So people are falling in line. Including him this time around. His protest last time just wound up with furniture picking on his worst insecurities. But right. The matter at hand.]

I've never exactly been hunting. I've had to fight off some animals on planets where we wound up unexpectedly before. But... this is new.

[i_cant_die]

Exactly. If they think we're obedient, they'll eventually come out of hiding. Or we'll be able to find them if we got enough time. Getting some color back on food thanks to the chore wasn't that bad, right? [Mysterion walks ahead of them toward the forest.] I'm excited. Maybe for once I can go hunting and not get eaten.

[glaciers]

[Whatever else he was going to say, that last sentence threw him off too much.]

You got eaten?

[lonered]

The boy who can't die... [Keith glances over at Mysterion. Don't think he doesn't know, Kenny. There are two children here. And he made you that staff. So. But he is also not going to say a damn thing, either here, or when he's talking to Kenny out of costume until the kid actually brings it up.]

Or who can't stay dead. Sounds like one of those times?

[THAT SAID.] No one's getting eaten today. Not happening.

[Over Keith's dead body, basically.]

[i_cant_die]

Keith gets it. [The masked boy looks over at his roommate. Keith doesn't seem the dumb type but he's playing along so he's okay with it. It's better that way. He looks back at Shouto and gives him a nod.] Yeah. A few times but it's fine. Like I said, I'm an immortal fourth grader. Even if I die, you won't remember it happening. No harm, no foul kind of situation. No one but me remembers when I die.

[glaciers]

You know that's the opposite of reassuring, right?

[lonered]

There is plenty of harm and plenty of foul. No one is getting eaten. No one is dying. We're going to get this quest handled. We're going to be smart and careful.

[Because yeah not reassuring.]

First we have to find a wolf anyway.

[So onward! Into the woods, and hopefully they'll find what they're looking for.]

[i_cant_die]

[Mysterion nods. He didn't mean for it not to be reassuring? It isn't his fault he doesn't care anymore. Maybe it is. Either way, he takes off for the woods and ducks behind trees. He can be stealthy. Watch him move between trees and shrubs. He'll even do a somersault behind a log before peaking out.]

[glaciers]

[He's not going to say excessive. But he sure is going to think it.

Meanwhile Shouto just walks into the forest, careful not to step on any dried leaves or branches. They're close to the town now, but the farther the go the more careful they should be.]

[lonered]

[Kids... are kind of cute sometimes. Go figure. Keith will just follow along sedately, quiet as he can anyway. IT's a bit odd to be going into the forest specifically looking for something with sharp teeth that could probably cause them a lot of problems.

They're going to be lucky to find anything really.

Except. Out the corner of his eye he sees movement, through the trees, and stops in his tracks, reaching out a hand to catch Shouto's arm, hoping Mysterion notices they've stopped] Over there...
