[defendure]

Who: Izuku Midoriya and you!

Where: Wherever the wind takes him.
What: June catch-all log! Mostly quest oriented.
Warnings: None currently.

I. RUNE(TCH A SKETCH)

[ Honestly, Izuku just keeps picking jobs that will allow him to get some magical hands-on training...and runes? Runes are so far his favorite thing, ever. He's not so great at making things (although he can design things, somewhat) but adding runes to already made things is like...well, it's almost easy. He's always been good at memorization, and he carries a pen with him everywhere anyway...

It's just a matter of creatively applying runes to things now, right? He has the steady hands and teh ability to draw straight lines, and he can throw spells into scrolls as long as he's taught the spells to load up. He does his work cheerfully and without complaint, and then...

Well. He makes enough money to buy a small mountian of (to put it nicely) absolute junk. Old bracelets, rusted rings, scraps of nails and really ugly brooches...just things that could be held or kept close, along with borrowed work tools to actually etch runes in place...He sets up outside the house that he shares with several others, legs crossed as he sits out on the porch in easy view of the street, fingers flickering with green light as he works, squinting at the latest piece of Absolute Garbage to get his magic touch...

He's easily interrupted if you're curious, or maybe he looks up and waves you over? ]

II. POTENT POTIONS

[ Being drawn into festival preparations was kind of inevitable. Izuku is bad at saying no to requests to help and furthermore he likes to help with set up...and given his new apothecary in progress training, helping to make potions seems like an easy one!

Unfortunately, luck is just like...rarely on his side. It's his job as a manga protagonist to run into improbable mishaps every so often, and in this case it happens to be spilling some of the potions he's just finished and is delivering to the appropriate booth on you. Maybe you took a corner faster than you should have? Or he got knocked into from behind and then into you...

Either way, these are love potions. So, depending on how much or how many you got on you, your character may or may not fall in love with anyone in the vicinity, including but certainly not limited to Izuku - or maybe it's just warm fuzzy friendship feelings for a few drops? ]

Oh no. [ EITHER WAY THERE GOES SEVERAL HOURS OF WORK...he looks crestfallen. ]

III. MIRROR, MIRROR

[ He's also experimenting with mirror magic, for some reason. Find Izuku in the residential quarters (still in the garden outside his house, or on the porch) playing with some hand mirrors, trying different incantations and sort of peering into them.

He frowns every so often, so whatever he's trying to do maybe isn't going too well? ]

WILDCARD

[ I'm open to any quests this month, and will also write unique starters for other quests or specific people if asked! I'll probably throw any other threads I need to do on this post as well. ]

[ "▪ Quest #3 - Thorns A-Plenty - Rose Bush is looking for intrepid adventurers to retrieve briar roses. These roses live deep within the briars to the west of Aefenglom; their thorns are poisonous, so cover up.
Signs of being pricked or scraped include: skin irritation, red blotches, overwhelming fatigue, and fever. The poison usually runs its course in a few days, but one shouldn't sleep - you won't be able to wake up until your system works it out."

So. Katsuki wants to get out of the city, Izuku feels, and this felt like something that wasn't too bad as an option even if it maybe wasn't as adventure packed as either of them would want - but it would be a chance to explore, a chance to sort of maybe talk (let him live in eternal hope) and they probably wouldn't get too hurt from it or anything.

That's like...famous last words, though, because of course they run into something unpleasant or even Deku just trips and suddenly, he's gotten scratched by a thorn.

So that's...fine.

He looks more annoyed about it than he usually would, but he doesn't like...say anything for a second, just sort of wavers on his feet. ]

Kacchan? I think we need to take a break.

[ Before he falls over. ]

[bombingking]

[This is so stupid. Who the fuck needs roses? Why do they have to go wade through this shitty, thorny desert? Surely, this must be the job of some poor fool that's not them?

God, when he was getting stir crazy and Deku suggested a quest, this is not what he had in mind. The idea of being afraid of plants is so stupid he can't stand it. It's unpleasant and makes him grit his teeth.

Then Deku says something and he twists around and... shit, Deku looks bad. Like worse than he usually thinks Deku looks. He heard him trip earlier but didn't bother to look because that's just something that clumsy nerd does on a daily basis.]

Really, Deku? Some flowers getting to you that easy?

[defendure]

...No! Shut up, Kacchan.

[ It's the sort of annoyed thought he'd think instead of say usually, but he's feeling a little dizzy, okay, and maybe he's been feeling a little...unsettled, lately. He's been using magic constantly, but he doesn't have a bond to cycle it out, and that's...

Apparently not great? ]

[bombingking]

[Katsuki cocks his head, but doesn't really look surprised or even angry. He's always liked the fact that Deku is a defiant little shit on the inside. Even if he doesn't often look it.

That said, this isn't usually something sets him off. Not something this minor.]

This was your damn idea. You coulda picked any other mission.

i miss my laptop

[defendure]

Like you would have agreed to most of them.

[ He's still definitely swaying on his feet, and might have to sit down hard soon? ]

BUT VACATION!!

[bombingking]

So what? I don't have to agree with you about fucking anything?

[He reaches over and roughly pushes Deku straight down so he lands hard on his ass. Better than falling and hitting his head though.]

You're really messed up, aren't you? God damn it.

[defendure]

[ Yeah, that totally works to shove him over. He loses his balance and actually looks - well, mad. Frustrated. ]

Why do you always do this?!

[bombingking]

No, you always fucking do this! You sign up for shit that you can't handle and get yourself hurt and then someone bails your ass out!

[He glares down at Deku, like he doesn't have the right to be mad or anything.]

Ru,,, I am so behind on life

[defendure]

I can handle it just fine without you!

[ He doesn't even mean that? He likes teamwork? What the fuck. ]

[bombingking]

[He cocks an eyebrow. It's total bullshit but it's not normal Deku bullshit.]

Like hell you can. Besides, working alone ain't your style.

[defendure]

[ It's normal Kacchan bullshit...Izuku should NOT be spouting it and yet. ]

Maybe it is! Like you'd actually know! [ ...He's never this frustrated. What gives? ]

[bombingking]

I do know because your ass has been following me around since the second you popped outta the womb.

[He shoves at Deku's shoulder.]

The fuck is wrong with you?

[defendure]

Nothing!

[ - and he...shoves back, from his position on the ground.

When has Izuku ever really pushed back without having to be pushed around a few times?

Something is absolutely wrong here. ]

[bombingking]

Don't lie to me, you shithead.

[He crouches down to look at Deku's face. He looks like a defiant third grader.

Sad.

But also weird.]

The fuck did you do? Did you finally melt your brain doing your magic bullshit?

[defendure]

I'm not...I haven't done that.

[ But that's...close. Because yeah, he's doing too much without a Bond to catch him... ]

...Why do you even care?

[bombingking]

Because I live with you, so whatever you do is gonna fucking bother me.

[IT'S NOT LIKE HE CARES OR ANYTHING.]

[defendure]

If you don't like it, you can just leave.

[ - Although he's not so in-his-skin irritated he doesn't immediately regret those words, shock flickering onto his expression. ]

[bombingking]

[He sees the shock too. At least maybe this idiot will come to his senses.]

Still think you're goddamn fine?

[defendure]

[ He looks away, because...no? He's clearly not, and he can't tell if it was the thorn - he's still exhausted or just...the whole not having a Bondmate thing.

He can't do shit about either right now. ]

...Does it matter?

[bombingking]

Of course it matters, you dumbass. You need to fucking take care of yourself if you're aiming for the top.

[defendure]

We can't do anything about it right now, Kacchan.

[ At least he mostly sounds exhausted instead of angry, now. ]

[bombingking]

We can just get the hell outta this place. Screw their stupid quests.

[He's wanted to get out of the city but... Deku's clearly fucked so whatever. Time to go back. Certainly Deku can't make it back on his own.]

[defendure]

...I'm not sure I can walk back.

[ ARE YOU GONNA ABANDON HIM HERE... ]

[bombingking]

...You're fucking kidding me.

[HE LOOKS TEMPTED TO.]

[defendure]

When have I ever? [ There's that uncharacteristic irritation again, although it's a little muted with exhaustion. ]
