Good morning, Participants. The time is now 7:30 AM.

[Where were you before this? Doesn’t matter, you’re here now, in an unfamiliar bed, surrounded by unfamiliar people, with a slightly-too-cheerful automated voiced chiming over a PA system to wake you up. Your pockets are empty, save for an unfamiliar smartphone type of device that comes alive under your touch, displaying, among other things, a map, a series of profiles, and a list of rules.]

It is understood that you may have questions; please be patient, and gather back in the Common Room in one hour. The Assistant will be present at this time to answer your questions. In the meantime, please feel free to explore the Facility at your leisure.

[The doors to the dorm areas are freely open from the inside, though you’ll find that it takes your electronic id to regain entry once you’ve left. Otherwise, it’s as the voice says, and you’ve got an hour to explore your new surroundings and get to know your fellow kidnappees.]

[Welcome to the Facility.]

[Wait no-]

M-midoriya is fine, really! Or Izuku, whichever...

[Why does he get the feeling that no matter what he says, in Michael's mind he's definitely The Boy now.]

Sure, sure.

[it's Happening]

So! A lot of us seem to have something that would make people want to kidnap us. But you're really just a regular student...?

Me? No, I'm...I'm from a high school for training heroes.

[Izuku clenches his fist, looking down at it for a moment.]

Most people from my world are born with abilities we call Quirks. They're like super powers...mine gives me enhanced strength.

[He doesn't say aloud that he can't actually reach his Quirk in this place for some reason, but he figures if Michael is supposed to be a demon, he knows that much by now already.]

eudaimonikos: (I'm gonna need a boost)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
What, seriously? Why are so many of you just from comic books?

[Okay, he's making some leaps regarding Electro, but come on the guy's name is "Electro" and he fights "Spider-man"]

Can you lift me? Don't do it, but can you?

[oh my god]

L-lift? I mean, I...I probably...could? But I don't think I can right now...

[Which, he said not to anyway, so it's fine.]

What, is something off with your powers too?

It's more like...they're just. Off.

[It's like Aizawa is using his Quirk on him, or perhaps a villain similar who can take Quirks away, which....is terrifying, given the only other villain he knows that can do this.]

Someone earlier, they...jumped me? They were upset and wanted answers, and I tried to use my Quirk to get away at first...but I couldn't.

[He realizes a touch too late that this is probably the worst thing he could tell someone, but it's not like everyone here has a Quirk, he's realizing. So...at the very least he's not outmatched entirely. He's learned to think quick on his feet without a Quirk for a while now, which he hopes will work in his favor if things go badly.]

eudaimonikos: (a boost over heaven's gate)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Huh.

[Michael nods thoughtfully. And - well, fair's fair...]

My powers aren't working either, but that's typical when I'm on Earth. The system doesn't want immortals screwing around with humanity. Figured it was just that.

[Huh...demon powers must work differently than the powers Izuku is used to, then.]

I see. It shouldn't be that way in my case, at least. The only thing I can think of is someone with a Quirk that can cancel out other Quirks has used it on me.

eudaimonikos: (fear and trembling)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Well, not necessarily. We're clearly dealing with a few parallel dimensions here. Maybe you just aren't compatible with this one?

mightdoriya: (Default)
From: [personal profile] mightdoriya
Parallel dimension?

[That...isn't something he'd actually considered, yet.]

Maybe that's it. But if that's the case, then...I understand what's happened even less now.

[He wishes All Might were here. At least he'd be able to give him some advice. But he doesn't have that luxury right now.]

eudaimonikos: (philosophical fragments)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
No superheros on my version of Earth.

[So obviously, right?]

Not saying I understand it either. Other universes are practically the only place I don't have enemies! [He grins but is it really a joke?] And it doesn't seem very random, if both Janet and I got grabbed.

From: [personal profile] mightdoriya
No, you're right...one of my classmates is here with me. Well...one of the others from my school, anyway. I haven't seen anyone else though.

[He's still struck by the apparent randomness of the choice, but given the whole aspect of not remembering...it's scary, Shinso being here at all.]

Date: 2018-11-26 04:45 am (UTC)
eudaimonikos: (how good people make tough choices)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Oh, yeah? Maybe two's the most from any one place.

[He goes to flip through the profiles again, scanning them far quicker than really seems possible to read.]

We'd have a real problem if they brought anyone else from my world, tell you that...

Is everyone from your world a demon?

[You know, not including the people on earth that are clearly humans. He doesn't want to assume Janet is, but...from her profile it doesn't sound like she's all human either.]

Date: 2018-11-26 02:39 pm (UTC)
eudaimonikos: (as many times)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Well, no. There's demons, angels...Janets.

[She's aaaaaaall Janet, baby]

Whatever the eternal all-knowing Judge is - I don't think she's classed as demon or angel. Sort of a neutral being.

mightdoriya: (Default)
From: [personal profile] mightdoriya
[Demons, angels, Janets, and all-knowing Judges sound like a mixture that they definitely wouldn't have wanted to bring here, that's for sure. And they've already got two of those.]

Maybe that's why they decided two only. Just in case they brought just people from your world and realized they couldn't actually handle it.

eudaimonikos: (a treatise of human nature)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Could be. Any other demon would put an end to this pretty quick. Humans are very easy to kill even without special powers.

[That sure is a thing to casually state.]

[Oh trust him, he knows....boy if he doesn't know that pretty intimately.

Still! He will be respectfully wary of Michael, no matter how chill he seems to be because Yikes.]


What if you could use your abilities here, though? Could you stop this?

Date: 2018-11-28 07:55 pm (UTC)
eudaimonikos: (start over)
From: [personal profile] eudaimonikos
Sure. Janet's omniscient, and I can get most things done like that.

[He snaps his fingers.]

Between the two of us, we'd be out of here in no time.

[...hm. Izuku thinks on that for a long moment.]

It might be presumptuous of me to assume someone from my world might have done this, but...there are a lot of people who can do specific things. Where I have strength, others might be able to fly, or breathe fire...

[His expression tightens.]

There is very dangerous villain who is known for being able to take Quirks away from people. I don't doubt that he could easily be able to take anyone's power away, even yours. That's why I'm worried.

Either way, if we can find out who's doing all this, we'll have a better chance of finding a way to set things right.
