Peace Week

[mockmods]

[So, with introductions made, you're all left to your own devices for the time being. Explore, make friends, try not to go insane in your new surroundings. Maybe organize a game of that Trailseeker thing? Your time is your own.]

[You are woken every day at 7:30 AM by the same robotic voice that woke you on day one. At 11pm each night, a similar message plays reminding everyone about the start of quiet hours and dimming the lights.]

[If you want to talk to Penny, she can be found in the Security Office if she's not anywhere else in the Facility. Office hours appear to be whenever.]

Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday

((Please tag any investigation toplevels as such, and ping the mods on Plurk or discord if possible!))

Your world...

[Which leaves one to wonder how, biologically, the same species end up with different skillsets.]

You mention "normally." Compared to what?

[mightdoriya]

[Honestly, the wild thing here is that Izuku has no idea. Even the brightest minds still don't seem to really know how Quirks came to be. It sort of just...happened one day. A baby was born and was just literally glowing and eventually people just started to accept that 90% of the population had superpowers now.] Compared to people who don't have Quirks. [He pauses for a moment.] It's less common to find someone born without one than with, so it's extremely rare, but there are people who don't have any...I guess you'd call it super-human abilities whatsoever. What you'd consider normal human ability has become abnormal, basically.

[aragona]

[There's a small noise in the back of her throat that could be either interpreted as a cough or attempt at a laugh.]

"Superhuman." The alternative would be to call the Quirkless ones "subhuman."

[So Hero Academia world still knows what the baseline is. Interesting.]

But in my case, those with powers are rare and not considered to be entirely human, as you can see with myself.

[mightdoriya]

[That causes him to wince inwardly, but he manages to at least keep it out of his expression.] Right...I will say, I've never met someone classified as a vampire before. People with Quirks similar to one I've heard of, maybe... [He brings a hand to his mouth, thinking.] ...have your abilities been stripped away, too?

[aragona]

Of course, which means whoever the Researcher is knows about the Kindred and dabbles in the rituals of the Ordo Dracul. I know some of them manage to stay up past sunrise for an hour, but I have never heard of a Kindred who can stay awake all day.

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku frowns, letting his hands drop back to his sides.] This Researcher knows a lot more about all of us than I'd like. It's almost hard to believe how much they know, and how much they've been able to do.

[aragona]

I'm not surprised. The Ordo are a crafty coterie. I would not doubt they will work with similar institutions across worlds.

[mightdoriya]

[It's something Izuku has noticed. They all have different ideas of who might be behind this. Sonia has a great evil from her world, and Izuku has one in his own...it's hard to pinpoint just where the source could have come from, but knowing there are multiple avenues only makes the situation more complicated.] I just hope we'll be ready to face them, whoever it ends up being. It's going to be a lot harder for me without... [He trails off, looking down at one of his clenched fists at his side.]

[aragona]

[Funnily enough, the Order is also a source of good but Sonia fucking hates them due to her experiences.

She's still not going to like them even if they are rescued by the good ones.]

We are still stronger than a typical mortal. All we have to do is keep up our energy.

[…………...Izuku looks like he has plenty of blood to spare.]

[mightdoriya]

[That's a perfectly normal thing to be thinking, no problems here! Inwardly, he isn't so sure, but...at least he is trained. Even without the use of his Quirk in an active sort of way, he could still out-think and out-maneuver most that tried to get in his way. Most.] Mm. That's part of why I came out here, to train. Usually I would be training during my classes, but this is the best I can really do right now.
