Open + catchall

[inheritance]

WHO: Izuku & you!
WHERE: All over Chroma
WHEN: Throughout February
WHAT: Some shenanigans and some quests
WARNINGS: None so far


A. Church

[Quiet as the church tends to be on most days, Izuku doesn't think he'll run into many people while he makes his trip there. Though he has a basket of fruit set to the side, he's busy wiping down the altar, cleaning it of any dust that's gathered.

Then, noticing he has company, Izuku stands back and tilts his head in a quiet greeting, smile small, but genuine.]

Hey. Are you here to make an offering, too?

B. Forest

[Though Izuku's known how dangerous the forest could be since almost dying in it the first day, seeing the way the trees are slowly creeping toward the town is still incredibly alarming.

Instead of training in the gardens like usual, Izuku takes to whittling away at the trees with his power when he can. And when he isn't trying to push the trees back, he's sitting close by, keeping an eye on the tree line as he sketches things into his notebook--pictures of creatures that might look familiar to people who have been on the monster hunting quests from the months before, if anyone's close and curious enough to take a look.]

Comments

Shouto | Quest 44

[inheritance]

[At this point, it's almost a habit to look over the new quests together with Shouto and decide which one they'd like to do together. Izuku bites back a laugh when he sees the first one.]

What do you think, Shouto? Should we try to write love songs for each other?

[Though he still flushes a little at the suggestion, he still manages to give Shouto a nudge while smiling at him playfully.]

[glaciers]

As long as you don't expect mine to be good.

[He might be doing well in composition, but they don't learn how to write poems in class.]

[inheritance]

Mine's not gonna be great either. [Music's not exactly a strong point of his...
This isn't something he would do for anyone, but for Shouto, Izuku's willing to make an exception.]

Should we pick this quest, then? Some of the others are a little concerning.

Damian | Quest 45

[inheritance]

[So...the last quest they did together hadn't gone the way they were expecting. (Who is he kidding, it's almost exactly what Izuku had expected, with maybe three times the stress.) It's with that thought in mind Izuku decides to message Damian again, thinking the new quest with chocolates would be relatively harmless.

Well...he'll know better later, but for now that's what he believes.]

How would you feel about making chocolates together?

[bittybat]

You're late, Midoriya. Meet me in Flavo. I had to relocate from the cottage because of the forest. I'm in another house.

[inheritance]

[He'll let that slide for now, because he knows Damian likes to feel like he has the upper hand.]

Got it. I'll see you there.

[Despite his airy response, Izuku gives Damian a look of concern when they meet up in person.]

Which part of the town did you move to?

Minato | Quest 45

[inheritance]

[It's only because he knows Minato is perfectly capable of handling himself that Izuku contacts him for this quest, too. Though it most likely involves a fight of some kind, he figures that part that comes after that--the part where they work together to make chocolates for their friends, would be worth it.

Besides, he's heard something interesting from Shiho lately and this gives Izuku the perfect opportunity to prod Minato about it like the nosy friend that he is.]

Minato-kun! Do you want to do the chocolates quest together? (＾∇＾)

[messianic]

[Minato is totally, completely oblivious as to Izuku's (pure) ulterior motives.

Instead, he takes this for innocent quest going.]

That sounds great. Sure, let's do it. ( ´ ▽ ` )b Want to meet somewhere?

[inheritance]

My place? We'll need a kitchen to use, and the quest is going to send us off on an errand first.

[A monster-hunting errand, if the pattern's the same as before.]

We can leave the rest of the ingredients here while we retrieve everything else we need.

Link | Quest 47

[inheritance]

[Though Izuku knows it's part of a quest, the forest's movement still leaves him feeling wary and restless. This time, he doesn't stop to contact a friend to accompany him, figuring that if the other town residents are as worried as he is, there's a good chance he'll find someone to complete the quest with along the way.

He smiles when he spots a familiar head of blond hair just ahead.]

Link-san! [Izuku calls out to him, waving once he has his attention.] Are you heading to the forest?

[bakedapple]

[Link is walking towards the encroaching forest deep in thought, his standard set of equipment on his back. The sound of Izuku's voice makes him stop and turn around. He looks tired, but he manages to smile at the boy.]

Izuku, was it? Yeah, I'm gonna try to cut everything back for a little while today.

[inheritance]

Yeah, that's me. [Izuku falls into step beside Link, matching with his strides.]

Want some company? It looks like we're supposed to team up to fight the trees back for one of the new quests anyway.

All Might | Quest 47

[inheritance]

[It's not a secret that Izuku tends to worry about All Might. A lot. So, when the forest begins edging its way toward All Might's cottage, which was already fairly close to the tree line to begin with, Izuku frets even more.]

All Might...? [Izuku pipes up while he's visiting during the morning, peering out the window at the trees with suspicion.] Have you thought about moving to another house while the trees are like this?

Shouto | Early Feb

[inheritance]

[The lake that suddenly appeared overnight in Flavo is still there and frozen over as ever...that means it's safe to play around on it, right? Though Izuku has his misgivings, having some fun with Shouto eventually wins over his caution, and he figures they'd be fine with Shouto's ice quirk anyway.

He sits down at the edge of the lake, eyeing the makeshift skates they've created with Shouto's quirk with some trepidation.]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how safe do you think this is?

[glaciers]

... 0. I don't know how to skate and it's not like these are real skates either.

[Still, Shouto reaches out and takes Izuku's hand.]

I'll keep you safe no matter what.

[inheritance]

[Izuku chokes on a laugh.] Zero? Wow, it's worse than I even thought.

[And yet, he's reaching for Shouto hand and hauling himself up to wobble on those ice blades with a grin.] I know. I trust you.

[A pause, and then he asks something that he probably should've asked when this idea first came up--] Have you ever gone ice skating before?

church!

[noholdsbard]

[ He sighs. If he looks too disappointed, it’s nothing impersonal. It’s just that he’s so used to visiting the church with a certain someone that having her gone…well… ]

Alas, no. Perhaps a prayer is all that I can offer…and perhaps a song of farewell.

[inheritance]

[Izuku's just about to offer some fruit from his basket to Tristan, when he pauses to consider his words instead.]

A song of farewell?

[It's asked softly. Though he had been vague, a quick look is all Izuku needs to catch the look of disappointment on his face. It's not difficult to figure that Tristan has something heavy on his mind.]

[noholdsbard]

Yes, for a kind and beautiful soul will come to this place no more. How sad…

[ Better cut him off before he starts waxing poetic about Zelda’s beauty or something. Because he would. ]

Tonbokiri | Early Feb

[inheritance]

[The more Izuku thought about the forest, the more he itched to do some poking around and get some answers. Tonbokiri comes to mind immediately when Izuku considers who to approach about this. Not only has the tsukumogami come to him a few times for help, Izuku knows that he's both trustworthy and reliable in a fight if it comes down to that.

So, he makes his way over to Tonbokiri's place when it's late enough in the morning not to be considered rude, and knocks.]

Feb. 4, let's say? It's sunny!

[youwillbeunequaled]

[With the second sunny dawn in a row, Tonbokiri is feeling optimistic about the day.
The knock at his door comes as a surprise, and the person on his doorstep is even more of a pleasant surprise.]

Midoriya-dono! Please, come inside. I hope you have been doing well.
What brings you here today?

[For the boy certainly has some interesting idea in mind.]

b

[organfarm]

[ It's not even like Jion means to be sneaky. But when he sees Izuku from a short distance away and approaches to say hello, and then spots the sketchbook, how can he resist trying to get a glimpse? So he ends up approaching quietly, peering over Izuku's shoulder and watching silently for a moment before blurting out -- ]

Woah, you're great at drawing!

[ Compliment or not, it might be a little startling. Especially since Jion's kind of looming over him. And is carrying an axe. ]

[inheritance]

[The shadow cast over him does make Izuku tense a little, but thankfully, he recognizes the voice before he does anything more, like jump away in surprise. Izuku relaxes, laughing a little as he looks back down at his drawings for a second.]

Thanks, Haru-san. They're just a few of the creatures I've run into before... I wanted to make the drawings as clear as possible.

[Izuku scoots over, making room for Jion to join him there, if he wants.]

Maribelle | Mid-Feb

[inheritance]

[It's almost a given that Izuku would find a way to get Maribelle a gift, after all the trouble he's caused for her since they arrived here. She's a good friend, and one who puts up with his nonsense, ready to heal him and scold him all at once whenever he shows up at her door with a sheepish smile.

Thankfully, he's not here to ask for help this time! Knock knock!]

[troubadamsel]

[Maribelle opens the door, pleasantly surprised... for a second.]

Oh, gods, who is near death this time?

[... Look, a pattern's been established, she can't help it.]
