♥ IC INBOX ♥

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!!

Comments

yesss, and i got to meet you :> ♥

[floatsaway]

Of course not.

[For a multitude of reasons, obviously. It's clear this is a different version of the Shigaraki that she knows from home, but still more or less the same, at base level. It's just very strange he'd ask, let alone care about whatever's going on in her life. Whoever that other 'her' was...there was something there. And that in and of itself concerns Ochako.]

You tried to build a CRIME SYNDICATE?? ...I really can't say I'm surprised at all. 8\
But I'm not going to say I feel sorry for you. I'm glad it didn't take off - there's enough in this stupid world to worry about, let alone you trying to rebuild the League here. I won't tell you what to do or how, but this might be an opportunity for you to, you know...try something different.
Time SUPPOSEDLY stops when we're pulled here from other worlds, even if I don't really believe that completely. Everything should be okay back there while you're here.

;; hhh /snug

[comecatchthesehands]

I guess that means you get to learn here, too, that I don't give up easily if I know someone's going to lie to me. I'll just find out myself.

[She should be concerned. Maybe Shigaraki should be the one concerned, considering that he's actually fussed about a hero in a way that may be a little skewed from normal people and how they deal with that. None the less, it's something neither of them should've continued and yet.]

No. I tried to build a system of people who would make sure none of this shit would ever happen again. People who were willing to put their lives on the line to stop all this dumb shit like us going out of our way to help an entire society and NO ONE fucking knowing the god damn thing was about to be imploded. That's what I tried to start. I also don't want your pity so good on you for not feeling sorry ig.

Thanks for the laugh about trying something different. Should I work in a candy store and 9-5 my wages, patrol on my down time alone and what? Earn the trust of the people while anyone from my own world undermines it? No thanks. You all act like I couldn't attack any one of you any time you see me, any other time. I'd jumpscare you to prove my point, but I know you're afraid of them.

<3333

[Okay that? That actually makes Ochako scowl. There's a fine line between being 'helpful' and being, well...fucking Shigaraki. Also the thinly-veiled accusation that she is, in fact, lying to him.]

I'm NOT lying! Just my own stresses, my own worries, and my own PROBLEMS to deal with.
Please don't become another one.

[She takes a deep breath in, paces around her apartment a moment to calm down, then actually reads the rest of the message. Ugh...she hasn't even had lunch yet and already she's losing her appetite.]

That's the difference between you and other people, Shigaraki-san.
Most people will try to help others, regardless of if it's their society or not, regardless of if someone asks them to or not.
It doesn't have to be something just "Heroes" do - it's human nature. It's anyone willing to lend their strength to those that can't defend themselves or fight back. And, it's why you'd go out of your way to make sure nothing bothers me.

Because you seem to know a LOT about me from whoever it is that was back in your world... I don't know it I like that or not, yet.
But don't think that because you "know me", that I'd treat you any better if you decided you need a different form of entertainment.
I won't falter even if you try to scare me. If you know me, then you should know that, too.

Anyway, I need to clean up, and change. Then eat and practice my violin.
Can you be left alone a while? Or will you get too bored??

Ty Roxy!

[comecatchthesehands]

[That absolutely makes him want to become a problem. She really hasn't ever dealt with someone like him.]

It wouldn't be out of my way. I'm bored, remember? Hunting down someone would at least kill that boredom.

I already know it. Blablabla, you'd kill me if you had to, blablabla, so would I. I get it. I dare you to try if you think you have the brass balls big enough one day. Just because I "know you" doesn't mean I wouldn't if I had to. So don't make me have to.

Go clean your room. I'll let you do it while you try to figure out if I can be left alone like a big boy or not.

it's the truuuth!! I am so glad to have met you and i will never not say it. ♥

[She wants to badly to respond. So, so badly. But Ochako bites her tongue and sets her phone down with a deep breath, grinding her knuckles into the hollow of her eyes where they ache - tension headache, probably. Talking to someone like him definitely would cause one, and she hasn't eaten much yet, if at all, really... She needs a Break from him.

So, she does as she said and leaves him on read for a good while to clean herself up, eat a little, and maybe even do a few squats just for the sweet, sweet release of much needed endorphins. Feels good to just stretch, too. Finally, she comes back to her phone.]

O: Look at that!
I left you all by yourself and nothing happened!!

What sorts of treats do you give bad boys who do kind of good things?
Maybe a cheat code? Or, actually...
Give me a video game song.

Same here ;;

[comecatchthesehands]

[Everyone has issues where Shigaraki is concerned and good on them, because he's a dickbag at worst and a horrible being at best. She's angelic for putting up with him in any world, this one or the other. He's surprised she messaged him back at all.]

I was going to blow up the world but I lost the button under my pillows. Too much effort.

A game song, huh?

[That he can do.]

Text/Audio

[floatsaway]

[Honestly, she's not sure why she did. Equal boredom? Probably. It's not like Ochako is going anywhere with the snow that's still burying the majority of Camelot, and she has shit to do. Mainly, practice. This actually kills two birds with one stone, too - keeping Shigaraki in check long enough that he doesn't do anything stupid, or pester anyone else, and she gets to actually work on her violin skills.]

Good choice.

[Give her just a minute, to find some sheet music on her phone, read it over briefly with a frown, then switch on the audio and set up a lit. Okay, maybe more like three minutes. Eventually though, Ochako starts to play the song he requested. It's not the best, and she's definitely a little squeaky, but she does decent enough. She's still a bit of an amateur.]

[comecatchthesehands]

Tetris is the right choice.

[But he's not expecting what comes next. He had no clue that she actually played violin.]

That's new.

[If they're going to audio, he'll go to audio. Just so she knows he's not bullshitting and there's no screams of the damned.]

Since when could you play instruments, I thought you liked space?

[floatsaway]

Since about two, mmh...maybe three months ago? I met someone who's been teaching me how, and we meet up sometimes for lessons. It beats doing nothing during days like this.

[Hence why she's definitely a bit squeaky sometimes, and misses a few beats, but Ochako is still very much a novice. She's learning, and practicing, and maaaybe using Shigaraki as a means of getting in said practice. This is a decent challenge, and helps her work better - Ochako can sometimes do relatively well under a teensy bit of pressure.]

Give me another one.

[comecatchthesehands]

That makes more sense. You would've told me that. All you told me was how much you enjoy space or cooking. Or sales. Or all three. Who's your teacher? No. Never mind you won't tell me. I wouldn't tell me either if I didn't trust me and I wouldn't trust me. That's not self deprecating, that's the truth.

[He can deal with it. If he can deal with the sound of Dabi's voice or the squeak of Toga's, it's fine.]

Moonlight Sonata.

[floatsaway]

[Dear god, he's so back and forth Ochako's not sure what will smack her in the face first - the force with which she rolls her eyes, or the goddamn whiplash. She's genuinely ready to throw out who her teacher is, falling into that trap, but thinks better of it. Honestly, there's probably a dozen or so music teachers in Camelot alone - the place where she purchased her violin held lessons, at a cost of course.

Thankfully, Venti charges nothing other than good company, some lunch that Ochako prepares for them anyway, and maybe a story here and there of her goings-on. He'd probably like her to bring alcohol, too, but that's not going to happen while she's still underage. :|]

...I don't know if that was supposed to be reverse psychology or not, but it's just someone teaching me to play an instrument, sheesh. Since I don't go full time to school anymore, I have enough time to do stuff like this a few times a week. Anyway, this one is harder, so...it's not gonna be good. [That's a bit of a warning, actually, because of course she's still going to try - she needs to practice - but he should maybe turn the volume down on his phone. It's gonna be more squeaky than normal as she pulls up sheet music and tries to do the chords.]

[comecatchthesehands]

[Welcome to the inner workings of the League's leader. He's always going to be saying or doing something in stark contrast to himself. She's gotten herself into it now with being his entertainment.]

It's just supposed to be the truth. You heroes love truth.

[Which he's quiet with after, it's interesting to hear the shriek of a violin try to hit a certain thing or the stumble of fingers.]

Not bad, I'm only bleeding from one ear. Do you know what game it's from? You're not into horror but maybe it's a big enough name for you to have heard of it.

[floatsaway]

[She sure has, it seems like, though this has been far less grating on her nerves than Ochako expected. ...Although he's still a sassy bastard. She makes a face and puffs up her cheeks before snorting.]

Eh? If that's all it takes to injure the League's Leader, maybe I should play louder. [There's a sassy smirk in her voice as well, before a pause, and the playing screeches to halt. A literal screech, because she fumbled a bit. N-No way--] Shigaraki-san...please tell me you're not implying that 'Moonlight Sonata' was created and composed for a video game only.

[Because she genuinely isn't sure.] But also no, I...don't play too many video games. I could never afford the more updated ones, other than a few rounds in arcades.
