The weird thing about situations like these is not that they send you to a place that by all means should not exist, but that you no longer are the same person you were before. You grow and adapt and become someone that belongs in the place they were sent, not where they came from and on a subconscious level, they know they cannot go back. It's waking up to face another day where you both know that you belong here and simultaneously don't. It's learning, oh so slowly to fit into this world, to sink into the background and become a part of a working machine because sometimes, standing out is not a good thing. Sometimes, it's knowing where the plot will end up and knowing that there's really nothing you can do about it because you've arrived in that grey area where anything that would drastically change the plot has already gone past and changing anything to come could and most likely would just make it worse.
It's not that there's no way that you can help, it's just that being a continent away from the main story isn't really doing any favors. Nor is the fact that there is a group that is there that agrees with you, and one member that apparently could have drastically changed the plot but didn't really doesn't help. It's a pain, but that is reality. Just don't think about it, blend into the background, and don't do anything that's too outrageous outside of your abilities that are on paper. Outside of the fact that you now have abilities that you didn't have in your past dimension, that are apparently a bit out there already for this reality. Some might say that this is what you get in a situation like this, but in all honesty, none of them want to be in this situation. It's not that this situation is a bad one, just that all of them were perfectly fine where they came from and usually people like that aren't shunted to another dimension with no warning. Aren't you supposed to have a random omniscient being that asks you to do the thing and then properly prepares or warns you of what is to come? And then like hates one of the group but they end up being the one that's really powerful and saving the day at the end of the thing? What even is this?
It doesn't matter. The day to day hasn't really changed.
It shouldn't matter. You've ended up in a place that has your wildest dreams, right?
But it does.
[Schrodinger]; Hey, guess who finally got certified as bilingual and can now properly apply for an international exchange program?
[Abilene]; I don't know, who? It's you, isn't it?
[Zeno]; Why are you trying to come over here? We chat online often enough and besides that, you see Sorties everyday for your internship so you know we all exist. Japan isn't exactly the best place to come over and stay at the moment.
[Bhartrhari]; Zeno, don't be a downer. Schrodinger, I'd love to have you come and stay for a while. Come, see the sights and properly meet myself, Zeno, and Observer.
[Abilene]; Pity you can't come see me, Spain just so happens to be a wonderful place to stay.
[Sorties]; What's this? I'm losing my favorite Science Buddy next year/semester?
[Schrodinger]; I'm hoping my parents will actually let me join the exchange program. If they do, then yes, Science Buddy, you will lose your partner in crime for a little while. I promise to call! ;p
[Observer]; Yeah, yeah, just be sure not to cause too much of a disturbance when you're over here.
[Schrodinger]; Ok mom.
[Observer]; *sputter*
[Value] HAS JOINED THE CHAT
[Zeno]; What
[Abilene]; Who is this
[Observer]; WTF
[Bhartrhari]; Observer.
[Observer]; Ok, alright, but still, what the what just happened? No one is supposed to join?
[Sorites]; Bhartrhari did anything like this happen when we all came along?
[Value}; Hello? What is this? Who are you? Is this a quirk? Is this my quirk? What is going on?
[Bhartrhari]; Something similar happened when you all joined, yes. It's fine.
[Abilene]; Ah, ok then. Welcome to the mental link, Value. Or as I like to call it; Chatroom 2; Mental Electric Boogaloo.
[Zeno]; We do not call it that! Anyways, Value as far as we know we have absolutely no idea what exactly this is nor why we are here.
[Observer]; We're all real people you can trust, and can talk to. Everything's going to be fine.
[Schrodinger]; Yup. Now I'm feeling sorry for Bhartrhari. Were we all like this in the early days? Jeez Bhartrhari, you must have been a saint. Value, who are/were you? What's your Denial? How old are you?
[Value]; Who was I? Denial? What do you mean? Why should I trust you? Mom said not to tell strangers who I am.
[Abilene]; [DATA] *shrug*
[Zeno]; [DATA]? We've got a mental link that none of us can get rid of. If we didn't trust each other, we wouldn't have been able to trust our own thoughts.
[Value]; Oh. That doesn't make any sense though. Quirks aren't supposed to do that. Why do you have [DATA]?
[Schrodinger]; Who are you? I promise we can't use a name to do anything and as long as you don't mention anything about [DATA], it'll be fine.
[Value]; I guess it's fine then but I still don't really trust you. My name is Midoriya Izuku.
[Bhartrhari]; Shit.
[Observer]; Bhartrhari! You're not wrong, though. Shit.
[Schrodinger] to [Bhartrhari]; What do we do? I thought we were supposed to remain in the background, right? |
[Value]; What's wrong? You said it would be fine!
[Abilene]; It's complicated, kiddo. You complicate things.
[Observer]; Abilene!
[Value]; *confusion* How do I complicate things? What do you guys mean?
[Sorites]; It's not exactly easy to explain, and we're not sure we like what has happened.
[Value]; [QUERY]
[Observer]; I... I have a pretty powerful pre-cog ability as my Denial and you're supposed to do something important.
[Bhartrhari]; You're allowed to tell him that? I thought...
[Observer]; Even telling him that is stretching it. Anything more and... things Change.
[Value]; I'm gonna be a hero?! Really?
[Bhartrhari] to [Schrodinger]; Our involvement with him doesn't mean that we can't stay in the shadows. You just have to be, we all have to be a bit more careful.
[Abilene]; Sure.
[Zeno]; It's your choice at the end of the day.
[Value]; Wait. Who are you people? Why did you appear now?
[Schrodinger] ; That's not really important right now. Just be sure not to talk about what goes on in here and you'll be fine.
[Value]; You're not real, aren't you? Just my luck.
[Sorties}; We're very real. We just... It's complicated.
[Value]; Great.
Her time in Japan, if her parents would let her, just got a lot more complicated.
