Ryota: And I’m a little relieved that my Quirk works on my classmates like this, so I know they’re all physically fine. I can also understand what they want to say as long as I’m touching them.
Makes me wish my Quirk let me communicate with normal animals all over again.
mod: I’m working on an ask that’s a bit more complicated than a normal one, so it’s taking a bit to do, but if any of you are interested in interacting with my OCs with your muses-- I just thought I’d post up some starters that I have on my RP blog-- @1e-rplogs
1. Hangout Stream on Bolstering Babble (ft. Chiharu Yoshihama) [x]
2. Lonely New Years (ft. Shou Uzumaki) [x]
3. For Want of Directions (ft. Kaoru Tokugawa) [x]
4. Ground Beta (ft. Umeko Watanabe) [x]
Or if none of those strike your fancy, I’m also up to talk about starting a new starter, or responding to a starter of yours! I’ll interact with canon BNHA characters and BNHA original characters. :)
ooc: catch me crying in the club because of this beautiful lineart of Umeko by @cantandraws (her work is so good, you should give it a peek). Her lines are SO clean I always love coloring her art <3 <3 --my little punk ass child *sobs*
Chiharu: And... well... Heroics still has an opportunity to treat the event like a networking opportunity-- since Pro Heroes will have an easier time of getting clearance to be on campus during the event. They can pick something combat oriented and show off their skills like they did at the Sports Festival, or they can socialize with visiting Pros and gain connections that way.
So really the only course that gets short changed is General Studies...
Not that it’s anyone’s fault of course!! Security and safety are important after all... It’s just hard not to feel like this was probably the worst year to be a Freshman at U.A.
Everyone being a bit frustrated is... understandable.
Hiroki: "A bit”. Underselling isn’t usually your style Yoshihama.
Chiharu: It’ll be fine Nakamura-kun! We’ll figure out a way to make it work! I just need a bit more time to brainstorm... Sorry.
Hiroki: Not your fault Yoshihama, now, c--
Chiharu: *emphatically interrupting* That’s right-- it’s not anyone’s fault!
Chiharu: We’ll still be participating of course! But we haven’t decided on what we’ll be doing yet. Though we’ll figure that out soon. It’ll be okay!! I just need to get morale back up!

—————-
His dreams are vivid. Precise. Complete. Overwhelming.
He knows his dreams aren’t like other people’s. Which is silly, since dreams are just a series of thoughts, images or emotions that occur while sleeping– which means his dreams are exactly like other people’s. But there’s only so much a definition can capture about something.
He only calls them dreams because he’s asleep. Otherwise he’d call them memories. Either way, that’s all they are. There are no such thing as a distant memory to Daichi Ishiyama.
Distant.
“He’s a little distant.” His mother says, her voice carrying through the open window where she’s talking to her sister inside on the day before his fifth birthday party.
Birthday party.
He’d been alone, no one had come to his birthday party. It wasn’t surprising really. He’d always been distant with his fellow classmates.
Distant.
“He’s a little distant.” His mother says in hushed tones the week before summer vacation is set to start. His new nanny just nods in a placating manner.
Nanny.
She tries to make him come out of his shell. She teaches him useless things that he’d grow to wish he didn’t remember. She stops trying eventually. She lets him be alone.
Alone.
“He’s always alone, frankly I’m worried about his social development.” His teacher says, sitting across from him and his father in the classroom during parent-teacher conferences for fourth grade.
Fourth grade.
“Loser!” Shig Inoue, his classmate in fourth grade, yells at him during recess after the teacher has wandered away to speak with two students having a fight.
Loser.
“Loser!” Yori Ito, a neighbor who moved into his neighborhood shortly after his tenth birthday, calls after him when he walks home from campus alone when his tutor calls in sick one day.
Loser.
“Loser!” Mana Chiba, a former friend. She’s upset at him for saying that he doesn’t want to go to her birthday party.
Loser.
“Loser!” Taro Onishi, a fifth grade classmate, says to him with a sneer, shoving him down into the dirt. As he watches his book tumble across the ground he wishes he could forget the people who don’t matter.
But he can’t.
He remembers everything he’s ever seen.
Vividly.
It’s exhausting.
There are so many people and moments in his head. Precise memories. Complete moments. It’s all overwhelming.
Minh: There’s a few classmates that hanging near helps too. If things get too overwhelming that’s who I try to stand near-- though I try not to be a bother.
Tokugawa also really helps-- her quirk calms me down while only mildly muting my ability to read other’s emotions, so that’s another safety net I have.
