怪盗

Once, I kissed someone and I’m afraid it ruined the world. Monoma Neito.

[ua-monoma]

[She gives a soft smile as she holds out the palm of her hand, allowing Monoma permission to touch her.] Please be careful and take your time visualizing the missing objects. I know if you move too fast, that might give you a headache from the start.-Evie

[Beaming, he places his hand over hers, giving it a warm squeeze for good measure. Taking her quirk is as simple as it ever is, its details and intricacies settling into him easily, as if they were always there. Still holding onto her, he lifts his other hand, taking a moment to call forth the image of one of his usual hair bands.]

Mm, I would love to avoid a headache... [he murmurs thoughtfully as he starts to turn his fingers into the air, gently and carefully beginning to materialize the hair tie.]

[ua-monoma]

I’m glad you’re getting joy out of it... [She sees Monoma’s excited expression. Part of her wishes she could just let him keep her quirk forever. And another part of her wants to understand the power she’s been ignoring and keeping dormant for so long.] -Evie

Haha... [He grins at her cheerfully, almost childish in his joy.] Feel free to stop me if you find I’m getting a little too enthusiastic, I just love getting a new chance to use an interesting quirk~ It gets awfully dull using the same few all the time, so thank you for the opportunity~

[ua-monoma]

Umm, do you want to borrow my quirk to find your hair ties? I don’t mind. How do I let you use my quirk... it doesn’t hurt, does it? -Evie

[He blinks at the question before laughing.] Hurt? Oh no, no, nothing of the sort. Though, haha, honestly, I don’t think it’d stop me if it did. I would just have to touch you... if you don’t mind, of course. You won’t feel a thing! I’m very subtle~

But yes, I’d love to try it!

[ua-monoma]

[She quietly nods, takes a deep breath and slowly exhales. Evie begins to wiggle her fingers in a circular motion, almost like she was twisting an invisible door knob. Slowly the elegant looking fountain pen materializes out of thin air. She holds her hand out with the pen resting on her palm] Ah, here you are...-Evie

Ohh... [He watches, enchanted and endeared, smiling as the pen appears. By the time she hands the pen to him, he’s absolutely beaming.] That was amazing! Oh, thank you so much~

[ua-monoma]

[She looks a little nervous and worried at the same time.] I’m not exactly sure of how many items I can find at a time...I never really tested it. I know that larger found items puts more of a strain on my body. If I try to find several large objects, I get severe migraines and nose bleeds. To be honest, I barely use my quirk that often. -Evie

[He blinks as he watches her reaction.] Hm! That makes sense... [He chuckles.] Sometimes, as a hero student, you really do forget that most of the population isn’t allowed the same freedom with their quirks... why, if I had a quirk like yours, I’d be using it every second of the day. So many of my friends are so dreadfully forgetful, [he says with a good-natured sigh and a fond shake of his head.]

Well... If you’d rather, I could try and use it instead? If you’re worried about any effects or don’t feel comfortable using it, haha, I’m quite used to this sort of thing, so~

[ua-monoma]

Umm, can you describe the pen to me? What color was it? -Evie

Mm. It’s a black fountain pen with gold trimmings. [He watches her, mentally taking notes of this process. After a moment, he adds:] It wrote in black ink, if that helps~

[ua-bestjeanist]

oh, and to madam 'evie', yes, we do all receive training. it is, however, not done in regular schooling format. we're chosen young and trained at separate facilities. we learn first aid, combat, diplomacy. from there, the focus shifts to our individual strengths, to better us as soldiers. it is not an easy life, but it is a worthwhile one. -- luci

How do you not see at all how being "chosen young" to become a soldier for your queen is worse than a hero school system?

[ua-monoma]

Oh, my quirk, ah... it’s nothing special. It’s called Found. I can make any small missing object reappear, its pretty useful for lost house keys, trinkets, books... that sort of stuff. Not very heroic. And it only works on things that are missing. [She nervously looks down at her fingers.] Umm, have you lost anything recently? -Evie

Oh! That’s so interesting! And they just reappear instantly? That’s so handy!

[He stops rambling praises to tilt his head to the side, resting a few fingers on his lower lip as he thinks.]

Well, I did lose a pen I really liked the other day... and hair ties, those are always going missing... Are there any sort of time limits you have to worry about? Or limits on quantity, how many can you find at a time? Ah, that’s a really amazing quirk, honestly... 

[ua-monoma]

To be honest, I haven’t really talked to many of my classmates in general studies yet. I’ll have to say hello! [She gives a soft smile] So, you’re a hero student, right? What’s your quirk? -Evie

[He nods in agreement, then smiles, beaming and flipping his hair back.] I am indeed! I’m known as the Phantom Thief~ and my quirk is called Copy! With it, I can sample any quirk of my choosing~

[His eyes glint, smile suddenly turning almost... leery.]

I’m sure your quirk is quite delightful, actually...~ [He wiggles his fingers in a spooky fashion, like he’s just about to dive in.] Would you like to tell me aaaaaall about it?~

[ua-monoma]

Oh, it was a long time ago, I was still in elementary school back in the US. And my dad was here in Japan... I didn’t see him much... [She gives a slightly sad smile] But, now I get to see him every weekend. I wonder if I can bring Chiyo on campus on Saturdays? -Evie

[He nods gently, smiling back in sympathy, completely understanding what it’s like to not see a parent in a long time.] 

I’m really glad you get to see him so often now, that must be wonderful... [He blinks at the change of subject.] Mm? Who is Chiyo?

[soracities]

He speaks from a fear of silence, from a fear of finding himself alone.

Oh, I’m not a fan of Ms. Kimiko, I just recognize her from my dad’s work. He’s an art director for a publishing company. He actually helped create one of the jewelry ads she was featured in. I heard Kimiko was really tough to work with though, especially if you’re a photographer or a make-up artist. Very demanding is what I heard. She a woman that knows what she wants.-Evie

[He nods thoughtfully, his expression fixed and impossible to read.] Mm... Yes, well. It’s very easy to get taken advantage of in that kind of industry. Better to know what you want in life and get that than let yourself get swept away... 

Anyway. That’s interesting to hear... I don’t meet many people who’ve worked with her anymore, especially since she’s been on her hiatus... 

[ua-monoma]

Sorry, I didn’t mean to embarrass you, um, my name is Evelyn, but you can call me Evie. I’m a new foreign exchange student in 1-E. I’m originally from Bangor, Maine. Nice to meet you. [She shyly holds out her hand to shake his]

Oh. It’s very nice to meet you as well. 

[He shakes her hand out gently, offering a warm, polite smile.] 

Haha, what a sociable class you have. I recently met one of your classmates in 1-E... @ua-haruyukidiot... I wonder if you’re close? Either way, I haven’t really met any of our other first years this semester... Anyway! Wonderful to meet you.

[ua-monoma]

Are you still working on your top secret project? Is it almost ready?

The... oh.

[He smiles, though the expression is a little distant and sad.]

Yes... Yes, it is almost ready. I’m excited...

[ua-monoma]

So you really aren’t Best Jeanist’s lovechild? But, your mom is that model I’ve seen before.

... [He flushes all the more.]

No, I’m no-- what kind of thing is that to bring up to a person!? If I was someone’s lovechild, I certaintly wouldn’t be bragging about it,

[ua-monoma]

[She stares at Monoma, just looking at him. There something so... familiar about the young man. His face, where did she see his face before?] Sorry to stare, but I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere....Wait a minute...Has anyone ever told you that you look like Kimiko Monoma. You know—that really beautiful model with the sapphire blues eyes! You’re really pretty—I mean, handsome! Very handsome. Umm, ugh, sorry! I imagine you probably get that a lot.

[He blinks twice before flushing violently, looking away. It’s clear by his reaction that he’s still not used to being recognized in such a way, ducking a little under his hair and covering his mouth with the back of his hand like he’s trying to wipe his embarrassment away somehow.]

... Yes... [He coughs, clearing his throat.] We’re related, haha.... Thank you. I’ll let her know she still has fans..........................
