Event Nine.

[awashmods]

Thus, on Life’s gloomy sea, Heareth the marinere Voices sweet, from far and near, Ever singing in his ear, “Here is rest and peace for thee!”

t's a dark night, and the sounds of feet in the darkness are further dampened and hidden by even more magic, as they are lured away by the soft sounds of dreams that are too good to be true, leaving the Town much, much emptier than when it began. On one side, an island, and a ticking clock to a gruesome death. On the other, the slow realization that those bonds everyone has been forging might mean much, much more than they first thought.

[The name doesn't strike him as familiar. So he shakes his head.]

I don't. I think Izuku knows him.

[Because somehow, Izuku knows everybody around here.]

[theshowsover]

Ah yeah. Probably.

[Izuku does definitely seem to be the type who knows everyone.]

I guess you're friends with him?

[glaciers]

I live with him. [There's a very short pause before he elaborates.] He's my boyfriend.

[theshowsover]

[Oh. Well then they would be friends.

Moving in together is pretty serious though! On some level, Akira is impressed, since these two are around his age.]

Oh. Cool.

[Should he say congratulations? But if they're living together maybe it isn't that new? Instead he'll just awkwardly poke at the fire with a stick.]

[glaciers]

We were living together before we were dating.

[Because some people find trouble if they aren't being watched. But Shouto's the one on the island, so really they're both as bad as each other.]

After all the shadow attacks happened.

[theshowsover]

[Oh. That's a little less serious then.]

So awhile now. [That was back... during their second month? It blends together a bit, especially without any real calendars or schedules to follow.]

You guys were friends before you got here?

[glaciers]

It's hard to tell how long we've been here, but Izuku's been keeping track. [They're well into their sixth month of being stuck in a colorless town.]

Yes. I've known him for a few months at home. We're classmates. Are you and that Akechi guy friends?

[theshowsover]

[Izuku seems like the kind of person that would keep up with it. Akira's glad someone is.]

Sort of. [A shrug.] We knew each other, but we didn't hang out much until we came here.

[Where they... still don't hang out all that much.]

[glaciers]

[Izuku is the kind of person who keeps up with as much as possible. Something admirable, but also slightly worrying.]

Because he was somebody from home?

... I have a friend like that.

[theshowsover]

I guess it's more like our schedules got cleared up.

[Since they were both so busy back home.]

Who's that?

[glaciers]

Uraraka. We didn't talk much at home because we had other friends. But now that we're here and we're some of the few from home... we got to know each other a lot better.

[theshowsover]

[He nods. It's true that just because people come here from the same place, they won't necessarily know each other well.]

I guess that's one nice thing. We get to know other people better.

[Although, as they all sit here on a deserted, freezing beach, it might be hard for most people to think it's worth it. Akira is all about bonds, though.]

[glaciers]

[He looks around the island.]

I think I preferred the town. At least there was shelter.

[theshowsover]

Yeah.

[He won't argue with that.]

This particular place sucks.
