Chapter 39: Tension Rising
Vanitas had to admit, Wolfram mooks were efficient. They had everything ready to start the show, and thanks to Vanitas and the reinforcements, very few people could cause any trouble to them now.
Unfortunately, Izzy's middle name was trouble. Vanitas would bet Handsy's whole game collection that the green menace would make the plan go up in flames.
He would get the kicks seeing Wolfram trying to deal with Izuku. Thankfully there was no need to babysit anyone, as failure or success didn't matter. Vanitas could admit that the old coats knew how to have fun at least.
As the criminals loaded their guns and adjusted to the new troops Vanitas brought with him, the masked boy himself stole glances at the clock.
Soon, the fun would begin.
—
"Come on Dave, we need to get ready."
David struggled to attach another cable to the dozen others already plugged into Izuku's strange phone, "Just a sec, I'm almost done."
"Dave, that thing isn't going anywhere, but we kinda need to." Toshinori finished adjusting his hero costume and buffed up. "Remember the plan?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'll announce you, you make the intro speech, then I 'bring you to the VIP area' so you can pull a switcheroo with your civilian persona to spend the night with your lady." With a little finesse and some heavy-handed incentive, the cable got into the port, "Finally! Okay, let's go."
"You need to change first."
"I'm fine like this."
Toshinori grabbed David and carried him under his arm like a sack of potatoes, walking to where he thought was the man's private room in the lab, "Shower, change, then we go. And be quick."
"Fine, fine." David couldn't do much against the mountain of muscle that was All Might, but he could retaliate verbally, "Is all that you wanting to slow dance with your girl?"
Toshinori deadpanned at his friend, so that was how he wanted to play? "I'll make sure to tell Inko all about our college days. Remember the prom?"
David's grin vanished, "Shutting up now."
"Gottem." Toshinori's chuckles were interrupted by his phone ringing. Thankfully by his successor's ringtone instead of Inko's, he didn't need to give David more ammo. "Hello, my boy!"
"It's me actually." Eri's voice came from the other side of the call, the sound of Izuku struggling with something in the background. "You'll use the clothes I made for you, right?"
"But of course! I would never pass the chance to use the outfit you made just for me, my girl. I'll just need to do a little something at the start of the gala, but Dave will help me to go change right after.
"Good, if you don't use it then mom's outfit won't be complete."
Toshinori blinked in concern, "Should I be worried?"
"If you don't put on your suit, then yes you should." Look at her, threatening the strongest hero in the world. Eri really took after Izuku. "See you at the party!"
"See you there!" He put the phone down and glared at David, "What."
The smile on the scientist's face grew, "Welcome to family life. Please leave your sanity at the door."
"HA!" All Might had to laugh at that, who did David think he was talking to? "Sanity was out of stock the day I was born, and things have only gone downhill since then. I should warn you, seeing you'll be dealing with Izuku for a prolonged period after today."
With a painfully even face, David finally realized it, "Oh god, there's two of them now."
"Try twenty-something. Oh wait, Izuku got to 1-B before the midterms. Ah, it will be fine."
"Stop, I want out of this ride!"
"Sorry, next stop, chaos!"
"Noooooooooo!"
Both men broke down laughing. That had been a great day until then, with both catching up and goofing around like good old times.
Little did they know, the night ahead would be a dark and trying time.
—
"Bro, you're scaring me."
Katsuki didn't dignify Eijiro with a reply, too busy cackling like a deranged psychopath. Why, would you ask? Simple. Deku and Ochaco are going to spend the whole night being dorks and Katsuki would be there to amass all the ammo he could possibly ask for to tease them with later.
"Ooookay then." Eijiro finished buttoning his vest, it wasn't anything too fancy, but the black went well with the grey dress shirt he was wearing and the slacks he was wearing. "You done?"
"For now." Katsuki finished with his tie. He had on a red dress shirt, a black vest with grey flower prints on it, and slacks. Not very different from Eijiro's getup, but that was what he got letting said person choose their clothes for the gala.
Maybe spending twenty minutes laughing like a hyena wasn't the best idea. Oh well, worth it.
"C'mon then. We have to meet with everybody at the entrance of the tower."
"Explain to me why we don't just meet at the gala?"
"Something about not wanting to get stuck in the middle of rich people without moral support?"
Katsuki rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Let's go." He snapped his fingers and their room's keycard flew to his palm. Never say magic wasn't handy to more than generalized mass destruction.
"Show off."
After leaving the hotel, Katsuki shot a certain someone a quick text.
Kaachan: You guys ready?
Unicorn: Toshi and Mom are already there because of grown-up stuff.
Unicorn: I'm helping Izuku put on his suit.
Kaachan: Why does Deku need help from a six-year-old to put on his clothes?
Unicorn: Because he's a big baby who doesn't stop complaining about his overcoat.
Katsuki didn't care his sudden bark of laugh startled Eijiro and earned them stares from passersby. That was one of the reasons Eri was tied with Aunty Inko for his favorite Midoriya.
And now Katsuki realized All Might was also in the competition. Fucking Deku.
—
Inko was so getting back at Toshi for this. The Midoriya matriarch had half a mind to not go to the gala, but she was already changed and Eri would be very, very sad if Inko didn't show off the clothes her princess worked so hard to make.
And they were so beautiful. A layered forest green dress, with the layers starting at her waist, puffed up slightly while the top hugged her, long sleeves and a turtle neck kept Inko warm even with the sea breeze. Over her right sleeve was a yellow cloth slithering down, a little bit hanging after her cuff, something Eri promised would make sense when Toshi put on his suit.
Not only that, her sweet little girl somehow made dark green flats, a tone before black, and a silver collar that ended in a diamond-shaped green gem the size of the nail on her pinky finger.
Inko was absolutely sure Mitsuki would flip when she saw the photos later. She would also try to hire Eri, most likely.
Would be a funny scene, but Inko would be sure to put her foot down, at least until her daughter was a little older.
Inko checked her phone one more time, made sure she had her invite and sighed. Now or never.
The woman made her way to the reception and was inside the ballroom in barely a minute. All around, influential people from all aspects of life mingled and talked, and for a single moment, Inko felt lost.
It was like she was an invader on an ecosystem alien to her own. Like being a foreigner in a completely different country, she glanced around and found no one like her in the middle of a crowd.
Then the moment passed, and a soft tap on her shoulder made Inko turn around.
David Shield greeted her with a smile, "If it isn't the lady of the hour. Nice to meet you, Ms. Midoriya… Or, would it be Mrs. Yagi?" The teasing glint in the man's eyes reflected on his sharp glasses. Looking closer into them, Inko could see they worked like screens, and something was clearly highlighted in them.
If she had paid attention to fine details, she was fine enough to return fire, "I think you will be calling Toshi Mr. Midoriya, if the kids have their way." Her cheeks took a red tint at that, but she couldn't help but chuckle at the image of her kids bullying Toshi into the family. They would do it the first chance they got.
"Ah." David nodded, a chuckle escaping him, "I don't doubt it. I met them and I can see it. Speaking of, your son has already destroyed some of our facilities."
Inko held her forehead and sighed, "Oh Izuku." She linked her hands at her waist and bowed, "I apologize for any trouble my son may have caused."
"No no, it's fine. Those things were built for that anyway." David omitted the part that each test sight was worth something in the house of tens of millions. "I'm actually glad he helped my daughter with her project. With the data she got, I believe her graduation project will guarantee her spot at the top of her age group."
"I'm glad to hear it." Inko hid her giggles behind her hand, "I know a thing or two about overachieving daughters. My little princess made my outfit for the night." She gestured to her dress and accessories, earning a wide-eyed look from David.
"Well, I'll be… I think I got Toshi's spiel of the new generations leaving us all in the dust now. When I was six I could barely put my old computer back together without ending with half a dozen screws still in my hand." Not to mention the pain of taking it apart in the first place.
"I just wish they knew how to pace themselves."
"Truer words have yet to be spoken."
The duo traded a brief laugh in camaraderie as parents with kids with too much talent and too little sense.
David turned and beckoned Inko deeper into the room with an arm, "How about we get closer to the stage? That way we can put some pressure on Toshi and see him flounder his speech."
Inko passed him with a snicker, "Don't be so cruel, he tries his best."
He followed after the woman with a cackle, "Doesn't mean I can't laugh about it."
Away from them, at the edge of the great room, something writhed in the empty space.
—
"It's not that bad!" Denki gestured wildly to Minoru, Hanta, and himself, "Yes, a cafe attendant uniform isn't what you normally expect for a fancy event, but it's not out of place!"
Minoru also helpfully pointed out, "And it isn't like we expected to get into it in the first place. Melissa gave us her spare tickets today, we hadn't had the time to get anything better to wear."
"And let's be honest, we could do worse than this." Hanta waved over the longsleeved white button-up shirt over the black vest, black slacks, and dress shoes he wore.
"Just don't complain when people inside mistake you three for staff." Kyoka grinned as the trio slumped. She didn't want to be mean, but she needed to channel her nerves into something that wasn't picking up on her dress.
Kyoka wasn't one for high-profile clothes, but Momo had practically forced her into a purple and black short dress. The black straps connected on her neck like a choker and crossed down to hold the dress up, the purple of the dress was accentuated by black lace on the rims and a black belt with silver stubs tying it to her waist. The dress then flared the 'skirt' like bottom, even if it reached just shy of her knees. Leather high-top boots covered her feet and went up to her calves. To top it all off, Kyoka had her hair done to be draped to the right, a straight curtain on that side that hid her ear, and the super earring the resident menaces made for her.
If Izuku could get away with walking around with a shoulder piece that turned into full armor, then she could get away with this.
Kyoka wasn't even the only one. Mina, on her own getup of a lime Chinese dress with golden lining, had over her shoulders a big white jacket with gray fur on the collar that everyone knew was stuffers with her dispenser grenades. Not only that, the flats that matched the dress had some suspicious and familiar holes on the soles that someone with an Acid quirk could use to skate around.
Tsuyu was also guilty, her fluffy forest green ball gown was not only to help the girl with the cold night air and sea breeze, but it also hid her froggy footwear under the layers that almost reached the floor. The puffy sleeves were cute though, and the princess look worked well with Tsuyu's hair up in a bun.
Toru, the menace, had her gloves on. Whatever the hell happened to them after Mei got them made the pair slicker, but that only scared everyone who knew the mad inventor more. Still, her light blue dress paired with it, the long sleeves ended up layered on the wrists, with the front of the dress being separated from them and the turtleneck-esque top of the dress by yellow lines, one which went down the side to a slit that showed the black leggings she also had on. At least she had matching flats instead of her boots, that would be terrifying since Mei stuffed hidden weapons in the damn things.
The scariest thing was actually Toru's impish grin and how her hair and eyes were sparkling in a kaleidoscopic light show. That girl was up to something.
The only one of the girls not using a dress was Mei, who was actually rocking a three-piece black suit that had 'boss woman' energy emanating from it, mostly from how the person wearing it was laser-focused on marching to the big names in the industry and get what she wanted, and stars have mercy of who gets in the way.
Then there was Momo in a backless red dress that looked good because she was the one wearing it. It had a slit on the side up to mid-thigh to help mobility and for a quick spot to pull a weapon from. Her hair was down, and she had a form of pearl necklace on, but they were small and colored a reddish black.
The heiress caught her eye and mouthed 'Izuku' before winking. Yup, that was some form of nuclear warhead or something.
"It appears we are missing some members of our merry band of misfits." Fumikage checked the silver watch on his left wrist, seeing that the agreed time to meet had come and passed already. He adjusted the black blazer over the dark blue dress shirt he wore without a tie, the rebel, and huffed, "Should we send a search party?" His hands went to the pockets of his black slacks, showing the bird skull cufflinks he had on.
"Don't worry, I texted Katsuki and Eijiro, Shoto and he were at the entrance. Apparently 'Shitty Hair can't navigate for shit and almost got us to the eightieth floor somehow' but he caught it before we could see if that was true or not, and they ran onto Shoto on the way. His dad had to stop somewhere before the gala and sent him ahead.." Ochaco glanced at the entrance before going back to her phone.
Miss 'kidnapped into a loving family' had her getup for the night made by 1-A princess herself.
The Unicorn created a stunning black dress, sleeveless, with a back window, and the front being held by the turtleneck-esque strap over her neck. A yellow sash was tied to her waist with a bow on the back and two strands gently fluttering behind her. The dress from the sash down went from hugging her to wildly cascading down in waves of fabric, mesmerizing red lines flowing through it and forming blooming roses.
To go along with the dress, Ochaco also had yellow heels the same shade as the sash, and reddish-pink and whitish-purple bead bracelets on her left wrist. Clipped to her ears were a pair of earrings with a red rose clinging to a yellow star.
"Five grand those dorks are gonna short-circuit the moment they see each other." Katsuki, who had finally joined them, whispered to Kyoka.
"Make that ten and I say they will go nuclear, compliment each other, then short-circuit"
"I wouldn't take that bet." Shoto, in his dark blue suit, with a matching tie and a black dress shirt underneath, also popped up beside her. He was fiddling with the cuffs of his sleeves, not one for stuffy clothes.
"You have too much faith in them." Katsuki's comment was made almost by reflex, his mind busy with something else. He looked up at the row of windows above the entrance to the gala proper.
Something felt off.
The line of thought was broken by a yell from the entryway, "Sorry, we're late!" Melissa came running, or the closest someone on stilettos could. She was wearing a blue strapless dress, simple but elegant, with her hair done in a braid and contacts instead of her usual glasses.
Behind her came Izuku carrying Eri, and everybody knew then and there that Eri was a genius seamstress.
The girl herself was wearing a white princess dress, the skirt encrusted with a bundle of shiny yellow stars at the right while the whole skirt was circled flowing patterns of silver, like a trail of shooting stars. Her waist and chest also had a bundle of yellow star ornaments. The long sleeves ended in frilled folds, those a silvery color. On her feet were the smallest of heels, white on the top with the soles were grey.
And then there was Izuku.
Like Eri, he was in white, donning a long-sleeved vest with trousers tucked into it, with yellow floral designs on the rims of his collar, sleeves, and pantlegs, the vest kept closed by yellow buttons. On his feet, surprisingly, weren't his usual red shoes but flats, with the top being white and the soles and toes gray, with the latter having an intricate pattern to them. The main piece though, was the gigantic overcoat over his shoulders, which worked more as a cape that flowed over his back to almost the floor, the humongous sleeves breezing over it. The overcoat had a trim of silver fur on the neck and had its rims marked with green flowing patterns, the wrists being folded out and held that way by yellow buttons like his vest. Beyond that, Izuku also had his scarf on his neck like usual, probably choosing it over a tie he wouldn't be able to, well, tie, and with his new dreamcatcher dangling on his braid.
The moment of wonder, as the two walked in like royalty, was quickly broken by Katsuki.
"What took you so long, Deku?!"
The person in question whimpered pitifully, "This thing is heavyyyyy!"
Eri poked his face with a pout on her own, "Stop being a baby, the overcoat is the main piece."
"But it's heavyyyyy." He again dragged on the word, whining like a child to the actual child.
"I think it looks good on you." Ochaco, with her face beet red, tried to cheer her friend up.
When Izuku looked at her, he also started to resemble a tomato, "You also look great! I got worried when Eri roped you into it too but I'm glad it ended up alright."
As the dorks short-circuited, Kyoka collected her spoils from a disgruntled Katsuki. Oh, how sweet was easy money gained from a bet with a sucker of little faith.
"As endearing as this is, I believe we should get going." Fumikage got the group back on track, once more checking his watch, "The opening ceremony must be almost over, if we go now we won't lose anything important."
Izuku put Eri down, much to her displeasure. He already had to deal with the weight of the coat, if she wanted a right she shouldn't have made the thing so heavy! "It sucks that we missed All Might's speech, we can still slip in in time for the party proper." The boy checked each of his friends, "Everybody ready?"
While Izuku was distracted, Katsuki approached Eri, "Why didn't you make Ochaco a white outfit to match you two?"
"Don't be silly, white dresses are only for the wedding!"
"Oh, makes sense." The dorks were hopeless, and Katsuki still asked himself how they weren't a thing yet. Maybe exactly because they were hopeless. "What about you?"
"The stars, uh, the Chronum I used to make mine didn't have a color." Eri pouted, looking down at her dress with a frown. It was beautiful, but not what she was going for, "I wanted some red, but the stars only had these moments of a city on them, and the whole thing was built with white stone."
Katsuki pinched the bridge of his nose and counted to ten slowly. Fucking Deku. He didn't even know why or how, he just knew it was fucking Deku's fault.
Speaking of, the boy in question made sure everybody had their invites for the gala on hand, "Good, then let's go-"
Izuku got cut by Danger Sense, which had given no signal all day, no, not no signal but that same nothing like an old TV when it had no channel on. That same noticeable nothing that put pressure on the back of the ears. The same Nothing that exploded into white noise and static when everything went wrong.
—
Toshinori would give a leg for a water bottle right about now. He had started his speech doing what he did best when talking about something he had no idea about, he spoke nothing with nothing but spoke well and with conviction! Dave had seen through his bull right at the first minute, and even Inko caught on after ten.
More importantly than that though, Eri has truly outdone herself. Inko's dress was as amazing as the woman wearing it. And now he also knew why he had to put his on to complete hers, quite the smart detail the little girl had added.
And it wouldn't take long, as Toshinori was winding down to finish his speech.
So of course, of course, that was the moment it all went wrong.
David noticed someone on his back just a moment too late. The soft click of a pistol resting against his skull was a thing he hadn't heard in a long while and he wasn't happy to hear it again.
"Hands up, doc."
The scientist sighed, "The fat share of the few people that actually call me doctor somehow are the ones that want to kill me. Is that a sign I should retire?" David wasn't scared of one nutjob with a gun when All Might was standing not ten meters from him.
"How about I give you a farewell party?" David heard a snap of fingers, and his night promptly got ruined.
Toshinori realized things had gone pear-shaped a little too late. Oh, how he wished to be able to access Danger Sense like his successor. Unfortunately, he wasn't, so like the rest of the people attending the gala, he got surprised by them.
From Nothing, monochromatic thorns brought forth the jittery forms of those who lost their hearts.
Nobodies.
From the silvery and emaciated Dusks to the floating crossbow-wielding Sharpshooters, to the solid Berserkers who materialized beside All Might. Two of the yellowish Nobodies brought down their Claymores over his shoulders and neck, pushing the hero down in his surprise.
The brief moment of weakness cost Toshinori. His wrists were grabbed by glowing cables that surged from the floor. Accessing the situation, the hero grimaced. Inko was surrounded by Dusks, David had a gun to his head, the ballroom was held hostage by Sharpshooters, and the heroes in attendance were also put in check by more Berserkers.
Toshinori tried to recall his successor's notebooks about the being of Nothing, which only made him blank at the conundrum he found himself in. High mobility, solid defenses, long-range attacks, and teleportation. All Might could deal with all that, but getting free, doing it, and not letting anyone, especially David, get hurt?
They needed a distraction, a plan, or a miracle.
He would go in order, "Very bold of you to arm an attack here of all places."
The man behind David grinned, "Save your breath. The ones who got me my new troops told me they could stall even you for long enough."
"The League of Villains, yes. Also bold, you believed them."
"I have my insurances. Like how the one they sent had a bone to pick with someone here." He grabbed David's shoulder and led the man away, not breaking eye contact with All Might. "He asked me to tell you, 'the little hero is on for the time of his life'."
All Might buckled against his constraints, the Berserkers having to press their whole forms against their weapons, and when that failed another two joined them. With four massive swords(?) pressed against him, even Toshinori felt the weight pressing him down. "I'll give you one chance to surrender, or else I won't bother with holding back when I go after you."
The villain scoffed, a dismissive sneer plain on his face, "I'd like to see you try." He gestured to one of the Dusks, and its springy limbs twisted and tied David's hands. Another signal and the ones circling Inko moved closer, making the woman cry out in fear. "Remember who has the upper hand here, hero."
—
The class as a unit moved when Izuku tensed, his face paling.
Ochaco grabbed Eri. Denki and Minoru hopped to side Melissa and Mei protectively. The others settled themselves in ready stances, prepared for an attack. They had gotten caught by surprise one too many times, now they would always err on the side of caution. As Yoichi himself said once, it wasn't paranoia if they were really out to get you.
Clap
"Not bad." The derisive voice sounded from above. The group looked up at Vanitas, sitting on the edge of the gates leading to the gala's ballroom, with the moon shining down on him from the set of windows at his back. He continued to clap mockingly, "But I shouldn't be surprised you learned after all the fun times we had together, right, Izzy?"
Heroes Rising materialized in Izuku's hands with a flick of his wrist, "What are you doing here, Vanitas?!"
"Not much." Even alone in the face of more than a dozen hero students, Vanitas didn't show a drop of concern. His casual tone only made the young heroes tense further. "You see, the old coats had a side job for me to kill some time, so I thought 'Why not?'. It wasn't like I was doing much anyway."
Vanitas then made a show of raising a hand and setting his fingers for a snap, "So how about we have some fun?"
Snap
The ground shook as something far away exploded. Screams and alarms reached their ears from outside, showing panic started to reign.
Izuku gritted his teeth and was about to pounce at Vanitas like an angry cat at a laser pointer, but Vanitas raised his hand in a stop sign, "Nah ah ah. Now let's not get hasty. The night just started and it wouldn't do to end it so soon." Every word was said in mockery, a tool to rile up the young heroes further. "I was thinking we could make a game out of it."
"And I think we could just skip to the part where we kill you dead!" Katsuki practically growled, he still remembered who messed up their plan and trapped Deku in a cage with a Frankenstein of a monster in the USJ. Easy to say, Katsuki wanted nothing more than to strangle Vanitas with his bare hands.
"Then I think I can also skip to the part where I get rid of all the poor people attending that fancy party in the other room, right?"
Minoru tried to call out his bluff, "All Might is in there, do you really want to believe they're in danger?"
Vanitas shrugged, still nonchalant, "You know what, fair. Normally I would have tried to keep away from that guy too, but thanks to some acquaintances I made recently, we turned this place's security system against him." It was possible to hear the smug smirk under his helmet. "And let me say, this place has some nice tricks to it."
Melissa gasped, her face paling several shades. Her father was the one who built the whole security system of the island from the ground up after he became the lead scientist, and the reason for that is that he used All Might's params for it. The Island would be able to stall even the greatest hero of the world, at least for long enough for the island to be evacuated… Or for a group of villains to grab what they want and escape.
"What do you want?" Izuku ground his teeth against each other, sparks flying into his mouth from the motion. If not for the very real risk his mother, who was already inside, was in then he would have already flown off the hinges and jumped Vanitas.
"Glad to see you're being reasonable." Vanitas had the gaw to clap again. "The rules are actually very simple. I'll let my Unversed loose on the island, that way your little friends have something to do while we're busy, you guys only need to climb the tower, deal with the little surprises on the way, and reach me at the very top."
"You really think we'll let you attack I-Island indiscriminately?" Fumikage had half a mind to let Dark Shadow in his place and go after Vanitas himself at that moment. From where did such a retched heart crawl out of?
"But that's just the thing, when you get to me I'll grab my stuff and leave." Heaving himself up, Vanitas stood so he could look down even more at the group before him, "It's like we're playing heroes and villains. I'm the villain pulling the strings, you'll be the heroes going through my lair to stop me. Sounds pretty fun, right?" The laugh that followed gritted at their ears with its venom.
Darkness started to emanate out of Vanitas and coalesce into his troops. Unversed of all sizes and shapes filling the space and surrounding the group. For a tense second, it seemed a fight would break out, but just like they appeared, they suddenly were gone.
And the distant screams got louder.
Izuku's grip on his Keyblade was so tight his knuckles popped. No, he wouldn't let Vanitas get away with that! Opening his mouth and sucking a lungful of air, he put his pointer and thumb in his mouth and whistled.
The sharp sound pierced the chaotic night. In droves, a battalion of Dream Eaters popped into existence, occupying the space the Unversed had a moment before.
"Everyone!" Izuku's supercharged voice made his Spirit friends stand in attention, "Move out and take down every single Unversed you find!" The answer he got was deafening, the very earth shook as the Dream Eaters went to carry their mission.
All the while, Vanitas watched with a hidden smirk. He stepped back and let Darkness take him away, his parting words echoing from everywhere at once. "See you at the top…"
"Hero."
I'M FINALLY DONE WITH THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
So real talk, all the fancy-schmancy clothes for everyone were the reason this took so long. I don't fashion, and if you can't visualize them right, screw it just imagine it however you want.
Anyway! As you just saw, shit went from one to one hundred really fucking fast. Nobodies! Unversed! Vanitas! Villains! Everything just got thrown at our heroes all at once!
If it looks like a lot, don't worry, it'll get worse. If it looks like a mess, don't worry, it'll get worse!
Beyond that? Persona 3 Reload is awesome and my current brain rot. Expect stuff.
Also, of course, if you want to support me somehow, go to the infamous site that starts with P and search for Bola8. It's purely a tip jar, but it has helped me a lot, thanks to these wonderful people:
