[SO MUCH IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND OCHAKO CANNOT KEEP UP WITH IT.

Animals are fighting, Deku is here suddenly, Mirko is an actual rabbit who is so fucking cute that Ochako might throw up, and her little pink marshmallow just sang a song and the godawful magpie thing fell asleep?? The literal fuck did she eat before her patrol that Ochako is having this sort of bizarre dream? It feels so real, and she's...aware of it all? Aware that it's a dream - because it has to be a dream - and that she's dreaming. So...can't she wake up, then? Wake up and go back to what she knows.

Ochako squeezes her eyes shut, but a second later, Izuku's got hold of her wrist and they're running away.]

Wha--...De-Deku-kun, what's going on, a-are you even...?!

[Even real? She feels all of this though. Every sharp tug, the wind on her face as they rush by, her little Cleffa clinging to her, the pebbly dirt road under her sneakers...all of it. It all feels real but that can't be right, can it?]

Wa...w-wait!!

[floatsaway]

[OH LAWD, IT'S COMING--

Ochako braces, moving Cleffa into one arm, holding her ground to do...something. What that something is, she doesn't know, but this might actually be real now and she has to deal with this incoming monster of a bird swooping at them. Her quirk would be useless against it, too, unless there was something heavy close by she could lift, but...s-sadly the only things are trees and rocks, both of which are firmly rooted into the earth...

M-Maybe, if...she managed to touch and float it, she could use its momentum to grab and throw it behind her? I-It's such a bad move, but what else an she even do against this thing?! Reaching out her hand, Ochako wait until it's just in the right position and--!]

AH!! [Has to guard her face from the gust and sand in her face. FUCK! There goes her chance! She's dead now! She's going to get snatched, crushed and skewered in this thing's talons, then picked apart and fed to whatever hellspawn it has in its ne--] EH...eeeh?!

Bakugou-kun?! What...what are--...how...? [SOMEONE PLEASE FUCKING EXPLAIN.]

[apshot]

[ Honestly that face is priceless. He's grinning at her like he would if they were at school. ]

What's it look like? This is my Corviknight!

[ Praise them both. ]

[legalize_kyawoo]

[There's no mistaking the way she lights up at that question. It only lasts a couple of seconds, but it's there. She even drops the fan from her face for it. ]

Of course I'm a Cookie!

Do I look like I was meant to be Meat?

[As soon as she asks that, she looks slightly alarmed--or maybe despairing--before her eyes squint up from the smile she again hides behind her fan. She's still got the piece of his pathetic cardboard 'scythe' in hand, but her eyes are on Licorice Cookie, her stare expectant.]

[fingersandteeth]

No, just the people who were press-ganged like you and I, [Steven says, his tone still pleasant and even. If he's angered by Risotto's curtness, he's not letting it show.] Most people aren't, by the way. The natives of this world seem to have mostly joined voluntarily.

[He shrugs.]

There's other people in this world who were taken from other worlds, by the way. People outside the organization, that is. They show up in New Bark Town at the home of a madwoman who thinks she's their mother, then are given a bag and chivied out the door on a 'Pokemon journey.'

[In other words: here's your cover story for dealing with non-Rockets. Please work with it.]

[And the confusion is met with equal confusion that this girl doesn't know what Ochako is talking about. I-I mean...how can she not? Hero society is a global society, not just held specifically to her homeland of Japan. It may have the lowest crime rate because of All Might being located there, sure, but it's not...strictly held by her country alone.

Unless other countries don't really have heroes being as popular? Or well known? ...Though the Hero Charts and UA Sports Festival is a huge event, broadcast all over the world and replacing once huge events like the Olympics and various award shows. It's just...impossible not to know.]

Um...yes? I-I'm a hero trainee at UA Academy in Japan. [Surely that must ring a bell. Who the fuck doesn't know about UA.] I was doing my work study alongside the number ten hero, Ryukyu. Um...the Dragoon Hero?

[Come on, work with her, here.]

[floatsaway]

[Maybe she will, once Ochako knows what the FUCK IS GOING ON.]

Ehh...C-Corvi--...huh? [Ochako groans, covering her eyes, rubbing her face, and then staring at Bakugou and that gigantic bird he's riding again. Yup, they're both still there.]

...My head hurts.

[happyhalloween]

who's hammy?

[songstressedout]

[ Yuzu feels bad, she really does. She's clearly trying to bring up things that should be common knowledge... but nothing rings any bells. None of the names or terms are something she recognizes. ]

Sorry, I... I'm not sure what you're talking about? D-Do you mean 'Duelist' by Hero?

[ She doesn't think it's called anything different anywhere else, but... ]

[necrodentia]

[ After growing up hearing her dad's stories of walking the planes, it doesn't take Rainer long to realize that's what must have happened to her. Only... This place isn't like any of the planes her dad told her about, and why is there a woman here claiming to be her mom? She doesn't have a mom! Not that there's anything wrong with people who do have moms-- moms are great! Rainer just... Doesn't have one. And doesn't need one.

Anyway, moms or no moms, she's wheeling down the path (oh, how she misses her chair... she hasn't had to push herself since she was a little girl!) with her Duskull floating along beside her, when she spots a younger girl up ahead looking just as confused as she is. She sighs, and waves. ]

I guess asking you where we are would be kind of pointless, huh?

[mightdoriya]

[SORRY OCHAKO NO TIME...well, there's no time to be talking with angry Pokemon around, at least. And Izuku doesn't want to push his luck with more coming, such as any friends the pair of Starly might have who may want to enact revenge. So he keeps on running with Ochako in tow, all the way back until Cherrygrove is in his sights and he feels like it's safe for them to slow down and stop just beyond the city outskirts. He's plenty winded at that point though, breathing heavy with his hands on his knees as well as his two Pokemon collapsing in comical heaps around his feet.]

O-okay...we should be...far enough away now...haah...

[Don't mind him as he just...squats for a second, all of that running combined with warp sickness does not make for a good combination.]

[necrodentia]

💀 1. New Bark Town

[ There's a blond woman sitting in a wheelchair outside her house, with a concerned look on her face, and a lovely little Duskull floating along beside her. As soon as she sees someone nearby, she heads towards them, waving to catch their attention. ]

Excuse me! There's a woman in that house back there... [ She points to the house she had woken up in. ] I think she needs help. She's confused-- she seems to think I'm her daughter.

[ Yes, there's also the fact that Rainer is on a different plane with no idea how she got here, but that can be remedied in its own time. She's in no particular rush to get back home, what with everything that just went down there. What's more pressing, in her mind, is this poor woman claiming to be her mom. Clearly she has dementia or has been put under some kind of spell. ]

💀 2. Network

Hi there! My name is Rainer, and I'm looking for someone with planar magic? Specifically someone who can open a planar rift. You see, I'm not supposed to be here. Don't get me wrong, this plane is really nice and the people and animals here are very charming, but I need to get back to Nua. My dad is going to be worried sick about me if I don't at least tell him where I am.

Network, aaaaaaa!!!

[maplecourt]

[Normally he'd roll his eyes and ignore this kind of thing. But he first notices Nua. Then planar magic. THEN THAT'S RAINER, OH HELL.]

Yeah, I have some bad news on that front. Unless you suddenly up and disappear for no reason, you're stuck here. Sans magic. Kinda sucks.

1.

[necrodentia]

[ Said passerby is a young woman in a wheelchair, rolling along at an unhurried pace, followed by a floating Duskull. She smiles when called out to, and comes closer.

At the frantic waving, she looks around, a soft smile on her face. ]

A dream? Mm, I don't think so? It doesn't feel like a dream. Not that I would really know what a dream feels like while dreaming it, you know? [ She laughs brightly. ] It's probably just a different plane or something.

[necrodentia]

Oh, is THAT what the balls are for?

I thought they were just like dog toys or something, for playing fetch.

network :D

[neverfinishanyth]

Could you tell me more about these planar rifts you mentioned? I've never heard of such a thing before! They sound fascinating.

[necrodentia]

Sure! That's simple.

Well, not SIMPLE. But it's not as complicated a spell as it sounds.

It's basically a teleportation portal, but instead of teleporting you somewhere else on the same plane, it teleports you to a different plane entirely!

[necrodentia]

Wait, what? What do you mean sans magic?

[neverfinishanyth]

Amazing! Where I am from, we must physically move from place to place, which can be something of a hassle. There's warp pads in the pokemon centers here that can take you from city to city, but I don't think they have enough power to take you to another place entirely.

[maplecourt]

[Guess what moron forgot his name doesn't automatically show up on these things.]

Like whatever force brought everyone here thought it was funny to get rid of magic. Unless it's these creatures spitting fire or water or whatever.

[necrodentia]

Well... can any of the creatures open a planar rift?

[ Ever the optimist... ]

[necrodentia]

Oh. Well, that's not very good news.

Sorry! It's not your fault. It's just kind of disappointing to hear, you know?

[Switching to voice oops]

[maplecourt]

[You know what, this probably will solve a lot more questions. Probably. Possibly.]

I would assume those are more, uh, suited as "gods" or whatever of this world. Meaning no, not that I've seen. Otherwise I doubt anyone would still be here by choice.

[also voice]

[necrodentia]

FITZROY????

[ Hang on, give her a second to figure out how this thing works... she hits the camera button at first so Fitz gets a nice brief closeup of her chin, before she manages to shut off the video and get it to just voice. When the sound cuts in, she's halfway through a bright laugh. ]

-ahaha, Fitz, what are you doing here?? This is great! I thought I was the only one here!

Well, not the only one here obviously, but the only one from Nua.

[maplecourt]

[As if any of them know how to properly use a camera!

He can't help an almost relieved sigh and the sound of clicking claws nearby. Ignore that last part.]

You missed out on Argo being here, but he got the lucky roll of getting out of here through who knows what means. Not that... you know, I wish this on anyone, because it really does blow to be a regular person with absolutely nothing special going for you. Other than these creatures.

Even Snippers is some weird crab from here now and I kind of hate it.
