Hello, everyone!! I'm not here right now - probably in class or with my friends! Or on a mission. Um...leave me a message here and I'll get back to you soon, okay? Bye!!

Then my suggestion is you staying out of those battles and leaving it to someone else. Including "If I do something". Not because I don't think you can. You can, you will and you'll lose against me. I'm saying it because if you're going to die, make it count. You only die once.

[He wishes that were the truth about Heroes or Heroes in training, then maybe it wouldn't be like this.]

He was a good dog. His loyalty got him killed, but I won't take his loyalty from him.

[floatsaway]

Of course I'll lose against you in a fight, I'm not stupid. But the fact is, what I do and what you do are at odds...and always will be. If not me, then anyone else who'd call themself a 'hero' in this world, theirs, or any other. Don't flatter yourself thinking you're the strongest or scariest person here, Shigaraki-san, I said you were SMART.

[And so is she, to a certain degree. That, or at least extremely realistic. If there are other worlds out there, then there are bound to be plenty of strong people as well. Besides, without his quirk, even Shigaraki Tomura is reduced to the same meebling jockey in the horserace of trying to figure out how to function in this world with magic. He's as strong as he is physically, or however his new magic will allow...if he's even mastered it.]

I'm sorry to hear it...but I'm glad that cute boy at least had someone there to hold onto for a while.

[Dogs are good like that. Ochako never had a pet, couldn't afford one, but the love and loyalty of a faithful pet is something sacred.]

[facepalmchampion]

Odd. I don't remember biology books teaching anything about girls having brass parts. You talk big behind a text wall and normally I'd call your bluff but I've seen you in action before. Just remember, I don't have to be the biggest, or scariest person here. I just have to be effective. If it helps you sleep at night, I have no plans to act on any of it yet. I'm not sure the world is worth my time. But if any of you lifts a finger other than to wave, I won't hesitate. If yours behave, I won't have reason to defend myself, now will I?

[He's done talking about Mon and about himself. That's enough of that before he makes himself ill with the thoughts. It's bad enough that he has this floating monstrosity at all times following him around in varying degrees of horror.]

[floatsaway]

[Talk big? Maybe, but Ochako's being realistic here. For as bad as Shigaraki is in there world, there's bound to be far, far worse in Avalon. People from all scopes, much stronger than him, who may very well be used to the concept of magic. She makes a few ugly faces at her phone - because she can, and because she's a teenager, come on - and sighs out loud.

This is exhausting. It was nice getting to understand Shigaraki a bit better - pieces of a puzzle to how he became who he is now - but he's...still a villain. He's still done awful, inexcusable, unforgivable things. He hurt her friends, her teachers, kidnapped Bakugou...too much to even list. Who she saved in the dream is not the same person she's talking to now.]

You wouldn't like the finger I'd raise to you, Shigaraki-san.

[Equally not going to comment on her friends reacting to Shigaraki. Ochako knows they wouldn't attack unprovoked - most of them anyway - because that's not how they were trained. That's not the kind of people they are. Her classmates were smart, rational, and didn't act without reason. There's no justice is attacking Shigaraki for the misdeeds he did in another world. They can only act on anything bad he does now.

But, of course, Ochako is worried that Bakugou might retaliate, or even Deku...to a degree. Both of them were slighted by the League on a personal level. Still, she trusts them.]

[facepalmchampion]

Low hanging fruit, Uravity. Creativity I'll give you maybe half points for. We're even then. You saved me, I saved you. I owe one to your dog. Fair?

[floatsaway]

You don't OWE me anything, Shigaraki-san. Me OR my familiar.
I don't help people because I really want anything from them - it's just what I do. If I see someone in danger, I react. I help them.

But [Because she knows that won't sit well with him. Some people operate much differently than herself. An eye for an eye and all that. Shigaraki seems like that sort of person - repay his "debts" and leave himself unburdened by them.]
If you want to give Aludra-san something, get her some smoked jerky. Or pieces of raw meat.
She especially likes chicken thighs and beef.

[facepalmchampion]

[Thankfully. Shigaraki doesn't have to say pick something or he will because he's not about to be indebted to anyone for anything, just like she thought.]

You named it? Are we supposed to?

[He's naming his Spooky Bitch.]

I'll get it and give you which butcher shop it's at.

[floatsaway]

No, she already had one, and told me it a few months ago.

[Ochako won't elaborate on that - he doesn't need to know about it. Aludra gave Ochako her name, which by the dire wolf's spirit's fae heritage...allowed Ochako a level of control over it. It allowed the girl to finally tap in to her elemental magic, even if it's still...untamed.]

Fair enough, I'm sure she'll be very happy.

[facepalmchampion]

It's a big dog and it named itself after pulsating supergiant: Canis Majoris... because it told you that? If I wasn't here in this world right now I'd have called that a bullshit lie pulled straight out of a Castleroid. But here? Alright. Sure. Aludra.

[They'll speak nothing of the Star Wars themed places they all have in their world, mainly because there wasn't really much to be said. Or maybe there is but he doesn't really care. The "dog's" name doesn't bother him. Kind of.]

That'll make one of us. Might be farther then where you live, but you'll have to deal with that if it is. Neither of us is going to give up our location. Don't mistaken this for trust.

[floatsaway]

[...Oh. Oh wow? There's a lot there in that first bit to unpack, but Ochako, being the space nerd that she is, hyperfocuses on one point entirely.]

...I'm actually surprised you know that 'Aludra' is a star in the constellation Canis Majoris, Shigaraki-san.
You never struck me as being interested in astronomy.
That's kind of cool, actually.

[Cool, surprising, but a little weird, too? At the very least Ochako feels a little justified in calling him smart before. Hell, he may have just looked it up on his phone, who the heck knows, but the wonder is still there that he bothered to care enough.]

Of course not. [She's not so naive to think one act of goodwill is enough to erase the hundreds of misdeeds he and the league has done.]
I don't mind walking.

[facepalmchampion]

Because you have an image of me as a villain not a person. That's the problem with heroes. Until someone needs saving, looks innocent and weak, you only see what you've been told.

Whatever, doesn't matter. [As in he just doesn't want to think about how infuriating his home is.] Something like 2010 was the release of SpaceEngine. Good game, nice time killer. A few before it that were alright, too.

[floatsaway]

If that's what you think, Shigaraki-san, that I only see what I've been told...then why don't YOU tell me, or show me, that you're different than my perception of you.
Prove me wrong.
Because from what I have seen of you, with my own eyes, you ARE a villain...in every sense of the word.

[One brow slowly raises. Games, huh? Makes sense...kind of. Shigaraki does seem a bit young, though she's not quite sure his age, really. Older than her, but younger than Aizawa-sensei...probably.]

I wouldn't know. I couldn't afford many game systems. [Still can't, but details.]

[facepalmchampion]

lol Are you trying to hurt my feelings? The answer's because I don't owe you that explanation. Unlike your teachers, I'm not here to teach people who don't already understand the underbelly of our society. If you've never been disparaged by it, you'll never understand. If, by saying you weren't well off enough to afford games, you have been disparaged and you're still there hoisting it on your shoulders, then you'll still never understand.

[floatsaway]

[Honestly? Fuck you, Shigaraki. Ochako is done the moment she sees the last part of that message.]

You don't have any right to assume anything about me, or my life, or the choices I make in my life in lieu of what I have.
Or don't have.
I'm done talking to you.

[facepalmchampion]

k bye.
