[So okay. Percy and Shouto haven't hung out a lot and he's heard about him mostly from Izuku. They went on their water adventure together (with Izuku) last month, and they've chatted a bit (thanks to Izuku), so Percy figured maybe it made sense to branch out and try to befriend the guy on his own.

Fighting's definitely how people bond, right? So. He heads to Shouto (and Izuku's) house and he bangs on the door with a fist, hands sliding into the pockets of his jeans again. As soon as Shouto answers the door:]

Hey. Do you want to come fight fairies with me?

[Hi.]

[ooc: Quest info here]

[Percy Jackson is a man on a mission, and that mission is to stop forgetting to follow up with people and actually make more friends. He's accepted that he's not going anywhere by now, so it's best to try and make allies and friends and work together. The quests are a good start and he goes through his (admittedly short) list of people he's spoken to and never got back to.

Dirk happens to be one of those people, and after some futzing around and messaging him on the forum, they agree to meet at the well to fulfill one of the quests. As a red, it made sense to bring Dirk to try and get some honey from the bees in the woods. Also they're just bees. This is probably fine. So he waits for Dirk and inclines his head when he sees the boy approaching.]

Thanks for coming with me, dude.

[Percy isn't wrong. Fighting is absolutely a great way to make friends.

But it does take him a few minutes to crawl out of bed and open the door. His hair's a little messy, the red and white not perfectly parted as usual, but he did interrupt a nap. A few more seconds before he properly registers the guy at the door as Izuku's friend Percy.

Might as well make friends with Izuku's friends.]

Sure. They're strong against magic. I hope you have a weapon.

[Because Shouto only has his body.]

[ for obvious reasons dirk's social circle has always been on the small side. it's not inaccurate to say that the amount of people in chroma has been kind of overwhelming and it takes adjusting to have his circle expand so much. it can be easy for some contacts to slip through the cracks. however, he never forgets any names or hex codes from the people he's interacted with.

it's a pleasant surprise then when he gets a message from a familiar one asking him along on a quest. dirk doesn't really need any convincing, he's down for it straight away. he's usually in need of something to do and it's been quiet since the sirens fiasco. a quest is the perfect way to keep occupied.

he wastes no time making his way over to the well, nodding a greeting in return to the figure waiting for him. ]

No problem, man. I hope you know where and how to find bees because frankly I know fuck all about them.

[ waterworld apocalypse doesn't exactly have them. ]

[He doesn't seem to mind the semi-sloppy appearance. It's not like Percy's put together or anything either. That seems to be the right answer though because Percy simply nods and steps aside. He's not sure if Shouto's ready to go like he is or if he needs to grab anything from the house but he's in a ready-to-move stance.]

I have a sword. Think that'll do it.

What, no underwater bees? [It's a joke, obviously, but it's enough to keep the atmosphere light as he pushes himself off of the well and gestures for Dirk to follow. Two dudes looking for something to do? It's easy to proceed and Dirk is chill enough for Percy to get along with.] Don't worry about it. I think we can figure it out without really knowing a lot about them. Pretty sure we can find them in the woods though. That's where most things seem to be coming from.

[What does Percy know about bees?] If we're going after honey, we're probably looking for a hive, too.

[He runs a hand through his hair and only succeeds in making it messier. A note is written for somebody before he slips out the door and starts heading towards the forest.]

Let's go.

[Onward!! As Percy leads the way, he turns to glance back at Shouto and considers what he's said.]

Have you already done this one before? Or have you just dealt with the fairies on your own?

[ it gets a soft noise of amusement out of dirk at least. ]

Unfortunately, no.

[ interesting concept though, those underwater bees.

he follows along amicably as they head for the woods, nodding in agreement. when in doubt, look in the woods. especially when it comes to critters, fantastical or otherwise, and quests. so makes sense for quest-related creatures then. ]

So find bees, find hives, grab honey. Sounds simple enough. [ a beat. ] I'd bet my bottom boonbuck it's not going to be. There's probably nothing that can be considered normal in those woods although I can't claim expertise on what is and isn't.

[ but they can hope?? some quests have turned out pretty straightforward. ]

Good point. Why would anything be easy? [But he's striding forward anyway. He has a small jar in his pocket and that seems to be good enough for him.] I have a feeling you could be exposed to the most normal and abnormal things in the world and this place still wouldn't make sense. The sirens from a few weeks ago were different from the sirens I've seen. Same with some of the other monsters around here.

I did it once with Giorno.

[He glares down the forest.]

Keep your guard up, they like playing with their pray and they stay in packs.

Why doesn't that surprise me. [He rolls his eyes and he reaches into his pocket, pulling out a ballpoint pen and keeping it between his fingers.] How big are they? Normal fairy-size?

... Small. [They're quick and fast and their size gives them an advantage to evasion.] How big is normal fairy size?

[He holds up his fingers, showing off a couple of inches of space.] Probably something like that? If I had to guess. So at least we don't have to worry about them being mutated and huge.

[ooc: quest info here]

[This is maybe one of his less-than-stellar ideas, but Natalie had asked enough about the town and Percy always figured it was better to show instead of tell. If the quests were going to be a part of everyone's lives so long as they were in the town, it made sense to prepare her for things to come.

As such, he's waiting for her out by the well after arranging to take her on a quest to show her the ropes. One of them is more excited about this than the other, and it's probably not Natalie. As she approaches, he finds himself watching her and giving her a once-over to assess what kind of skills she might have.

At least he has a sword.]

I'm going to guess you've never done something like this before.

[She's heard enough about the quests by now that she's definitely wary, even if she's not quite prepared for what they're about to go up against. There's no way for her to have a frame of reference for something like this; as much as she'd say her life has been anything but normal, it hasn't been quite this abnormal, either. That's why she hasn't brought anything with her, not that she has much to bring.

Whatever the circumstances, she meets him at the agreed upon place, glancing his way as she approaches.]

I'm not even sure exactly what it is we're doing, but there's a pretty strong chance the answer is no.

They aren't animals. Things that aren't animals don't seem mutated.

They can disappear, I think. So that makes them dangerous.

Harvesting honey from bees. Pretty straight-forward, but it's a good introduction. I've done this already so I kind of know what to expect. It'll be helpful to get you settled in here. You're not scared of bugs, are you?

That... sounds easier than I imagined it would be. Not that I've ever harvested honey, but I'm sure I can figure it out.

[She shakes her head.]

Not really. I'll manage.

Too bad we can't freeze them in place so they can't vanish. [But that's something to consider, too.] Monsters are being generated in the forest but they look normal. Animals, on the other hand, can sometimes have two heads. Makes total sense.

[Venturing onward, the trees of the forest begin to loom over them.] I've fought things I couldn't see before. I'm not that worried.

We could try that, but they're fast. [Shouto's fast too, but... not quite that fast.] Can you use any water, or just ocean water?

I have no idea what's going on in this town. [But it doesn't really matter so much, does it?]

My classmate is invisible, but that's a little different.

[Yeah, about that...] That'll make it easier. Are you afraid of mutants?

[THIS IS PERHAPS NOT HOW HE SHOULD ASK THAT QUESTION.]

Is the invisibility thing a quirk, or a problem? [Being invisible sounds like it would suck, but he shakes his head at the question.] I can use any water. Creating it myself is kind of exhausting but doable. Why?

It's her quirk. It's the part that doesn't turn off. [It's like half a problem and half a quirk.]

I can get you water pretty fast. Ice and fire will make water.

The more I hear about quirks, the more I get confused. [That would definitely suck. But they have a gameplan and he likes it, nodding in reply as they step into a forest clearing where they can spot a handful of fairies a few feet ahead.]

Good call. If we can drown them out or at least trap them it'll knock them unconscious and that'll clear for the quest. Ready?
