August Catchall

[glaciers]

WHO: Shouto Todoroki, OTA
WHERE: all around town
WHEN: August
WHAT: Food and flowers
WARNINGS: [shrugs]


A. Cucumbers

[It's very strange to wake up to a box full of weirdly colored cucumbers. But he did take a bite out of them, and they taste exactly the way a normal cucumbers taste. So he's just going to assume it's one of those weird things that this town does.

While he kept a few for himself, and for the garden... there's no way he wants to eat cucumbers for an entire week.

So he has the box in his hands as he walks about the town.]

Do you want cucumbers?

B. Flower Crowns

[Once the flower crown quest has gone up Shouto's in the garden with some flowers in his lap. A while back he made these with Uraraka. So at least he doesn't need a lesson on how to make these. But he'll look up to whoever happens to be around.]

What's your color? [For people he doesn't know.]

I can make you a crown, if you want. [For people he does.]

C. Wildcard

[Choose your own adventure!]

Comments

[osuni]

[Okuni LAUGHS AT THIS which is unfair because Shouto has like two more friends than Okuni has ever made.]

That's fine! Plenty of people are bad at making friends.

[nice... tho]

But are you really sure it's only two? What if your eighteen other classmates already believe that they're friends with you?

[glaciers]

[It's pretty obvious he's never thought about it this way.]

I made friends with Uraraka but only after we got here.

... Would it be weird to ask them if we were friends already? Whenever we get back.

[osuni]

[Shouto is a nice kid, so she's sure there are more people who consider him as a friend already even if he isn't aware of it. Ochako must have liked Shouto in some way even before they arrived in Chroma from what Okuni knows of the other girl. basically all of y'all are sweet and pure and okuni is just shaking her head]

They won't expect it from you and they'll be surprised, I bet. [HEHEHE] But I bet they'll be touched that you're asking.

[cue class 1-a's screams of 'we know that we were friends but what about you??? shoutO???"]

So make sure to ask when you go back home!

[glaciers]

[They probably thought they were already friends, but Shouto's pretty bad at realizing that that. Years of being isolated makes it difficult to tell when he's actually made a friendship.

The students that are here are all doing their best. Which can be anything between fucking wild dude and very pure.

He considers it before nodding in finality.]

I'll ask when I see them again.

[osuni]

[At least Shouto is a good boy who's willing to make friends unlike SOME PEOPLE!!!]

I don't think you're bad at making friends after all. You're just awkward at it.

[glaciers]

[They've fought once, that's a great beginning to a friendship according to Shouto.

... The hero course is a strange place.]

I guess those are two different things.

[osuni]

[THE HERO COURSE SOUNDS LIKE A STRANGE PLACE, Okuni would probably enjoy it there.]

It’s fine if you’re awkward! I know some people find that very endearing. I bet Izu-chan would agree.

[glaciers]

I guess that's part of it.

[He's a little flustered by that, but it's definitely a pleased kind of flustered. Like he can barely believe Izuku liked him back.]

He's good at talking to all kinds of people. It's impressive.

[osuni]

[Okuni doesn’t know Izuku too well yet, but she can pretty much agree with this sentiment. He hadn’t faltered when talking to her even when she invaded his home?? Izuku is Social.]

He could stand to be a little more firm with people, but I suppose you can handle that for him.

[glaciers]

[Is that really how Izuku meets people? With them barging into the house?]

He can be stubborn enough when he wants to.

[osuni]

But he's the friendly kind of stubborn! He needs to be more... you know -- [Okuni waves her hand around like Shouto will read her mind somehow.] The kind of person who doesn't let just anyone break into his house.

[THERe]

[glaciers]

[Long pause...]

Why did you break into my house?

[osuni]

[Okuni blinks at him like he just asked a silly and not very sensible question.]

I wanted to see where other people were living in when I first got here! I didn't know it was your house when I broke in.

[That makes it okay, right]

[glaciers]

Don't break into stranger's houses.

[Why does he have to say this? Isn't this common knowledge?]

[osuni]

I thought I could find some clues on how to get back home! What else was I supposed to do?

[it's common knowledge but okuni doesn't capitalize on it alright]

[glaciers]

Talk to people on street.

[osuni]

But that’s boring!

[Okuni is actually 12 years old.]

[glaciers]

Is it boring talking to me right now?

[osuni]

[HEY]

No...

[she feels like she's... being lectured]

But I know you now, so it's different...

[glaciers]

[Sometimes... words can be used against her.]

What's so different about it?

[osuni]

[SOMETIMES THEY CAN...]

Because I wanted to bother them! But it's different -- since I'm curious about you, so I don't actually want to bother you that much... I don't know! Hey, don't make me explain any further!

[glaciers]

We met just because you wanted to fight in the pit.

[But he gives a little shrug. He's easy going enough when it comes to this type of stuff.]

Okay, you don't have to.

[osuni]

[HE'S SO EASYGOING

Okuni is very relieved that he's given her an easy out... see, this is why she likes sho-chan]

Let me fight you again! Though not right now. [since she was juST FROZEN] I want to practice against people with powers like yours, and you can practice hand to hand with me.
