Trope Mash-up: 21 97 for Tsuyu + your choice [Badluckcubed(13^3=2197)]

21. Dystopian AU97. Time TravelI’m sticking with tsuchako for this one

I’d probably do the generic thing and have them get hit by a quirk that sends them back in time to when quirks weren’t that widespread and were still frowned upon in society. They’re the only people they know in this new world they’ve been thrown into, and most other people aren’t very receptive, so they end up getting closer while they’re stuck in the past and eventually fall in love because I’m a sap. There would probably also be an underground society of quirk users or something, but idk where I’d go with that

How bad a pun would it be to call it Timehoppers?

"Excuse me, do you know any ships headed north-east from here?" A blue-haired man wearing a white hat with an anchor on it taps Raz on the shoulder. - psychonautscadre

Raz turned to look up at the man, “Multiple ships. Why do you ask, sir?”

[psychonautscadre]

The man blinked, surprised.

“I need to get to an island where a friend of mine has ended up. I know exactly where it is, but not what the island’s called or how to get there…” he trails off before clearing his throat.

“My name is Elton. Elton F-John! Elton John.” Elton rubs his side as though he had been elbowed by someone, though there was no-one else visible nearby.

[ask-the-psychic-pirates]

Raz squinted at him in suspicion.

“If you need a ship that badly Mr.John, then out ship should be of use. We’re heading that way for our own reasons.” He pointed over to a well kept ship, “That’s my ship. If you have the coin, we can take you.”

[psychonautscadre]

The man looks at the ship Raz pointed to. A flash of worry flits across his face before his features return to normal.

“No problem. How much are we talking here?”

[ask-the-psychic-pirates]

“Simple. We charge 10 pieces-of-eight. You do have that much right?” Raz certainly was suspicious of this strange man, but money was money (and besides they ARE pirates, so if need be, they just kill him).

[psychonautscadre]

Elton glanced to one side, apparently at thin air.

“Would it be possible to pay twenty for double rations and a cabin to myself? And we’ll pay ten more when we arrive.”

He frowned for a second.

“Wait, are you allowed to make deals like this?”

[ask-the-psychic-pirates]

Raz was frowning at him, he didn’t seem to like the offer.

“What do we look like? A curse service?!” He snapped, “We’ve only got ONE extra cabin. Why would you even need two to yourself?”

[psychonautscadre]

Elton raised his hands placatingly.

“Easy! If you don’t have space for me to have a cabin I can sleep with the crew. The double rations thing is necessary, I’m afraid, I have to eat enough for two and I don’t want to starve.”

[ask-the-psychic-pirates]

Raz looked at him in confusion, “Just want are you trying to pull…?” The child placed a threatening hand on his cutless, then glanced around.

After making sure there was no one from his crew looking Raz squinted at the man and attempted to read his mind in search of answers.

[mysteriousboxfactoryhq]

Elton’s mental defenses were strong, great waves crashing around the exterior of his mind. The feeling of someone attempting to dive through the swell prompted great mental constructs of sharks, leviathans and other monstrous fish to swim from the depths, hunting the intruder down before he could penetrate into the mind itself.

In the physical world, Elton took a step back before looking down at Raz. Checking there were no witnesses nearby he frowned at the boy.

“Cut that out, Raz, I’m not letting you into my mind.”

A soft gasp from empty space alerted him too late to the fact that Raz hadn’t told him his name...

How large is your average mysterious box? How large or small can you make them?

The average mysterious box is a one metre cubed steel construction. In a similar manner to your planets weapons, it is possible to make many of our other appliances and tools take on similar shapes.

The largest box on record contained an entire star system. Constructed out of space-time itself, it was delivered to a universe which had an unfortunate accident with a giant space station laser and a large habitable planet to serve as a replacement.

The smallest box on record was two millimetres across and contained an absolute vacuum at absolute zero.

Addressing the various beings currently on strike at computer terminal 75632

You are to be congratulated on having managed to make 92.857% of the board of directors agree on a course of action.

Finally the end is in sight. Reports from the work crews say that the computer hub will be restored to full functionality within twenty-four standard hours.

Any further delays will be caused by their demands for hazard pay. Unreasonable unionisation like this was what caused the situation with the cybernetic plesiosaurs...

[mysteriousboxfactoryhq]

The original computer repair team was found hanging upside down suspended from cybernetic-enhanced strangler figs. Upon successful release, the two teams reported that their progress is continuing at a decent pace, although their work is hampered by the need to flamethrower the poisonous brambles once an hour.

[mysteriousboxfactoryhq]

No news from computer repair technicians. We assume they were eaten by local plant life, and are hoping the second team will do better.

[mysteriousboxfactoryhq]

Apologies. The computer's patching the network through to the Tumblerverse communications network went offline last night, causing severe delays until they are fixed. Rest assured that once these problems have been solved, the backlog of data will be released as normal.
