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!))

[The greenhouse is a straight shot back to the common room and, by extension, the dorms, so he's already in the hallway headed to Shigeo's floor by the time the boy in his arms speaks up, causing him to come to a stop and look down at him.] Ah- Kageyama-kun! I'm so glad you're awake...I'm getting you to your room right now, okay? [He's so used to just...being in Hero Mode for situations like this that he doesn't even consider that Shigeo might be embarrassed as he starts walking again, hurrying over to Dorm B2.]

[hyaku]

[Well........... at least this wouldn't be the first time this has happened.

Still, it's even more embarrassing that it's Izuku taking him back to his room of all people. Yeah he promised he'd protect Shigeo and all that but... still..... he should be using his energy doing more important things than taking care of some anemic dumbass who can't run........]

Th..thank you, Midoriya-kun, but I'll be okay. You can put me down if you want to...

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku doesn't reply for a moment, peering down the hallway until he spots the placard beside the door for Shigeo's dorm and heading that way.] You blacked out in the greenhouse. You should probably lay down and rest for a little while... We're almost there, though.

[hyaku]

I can walk.

[He says that but they really are almost there anyway, so he resigns himself to his fate. His legs felt like jello, anyway, so really Izuku was right. He shouldn't push himself too hard like that...]

[mightdoriya]

[That's the thing. If anyone knows anything about pushing themselves too hard...it's Izuku. It's probably why he's insisting on bringing him all this way in the first place. He doesn't put Shigeo down until they've made it to his dorm, setting him down on the edge of his bed after asking which it was. At least from there, Shigeo can choose to either lay down, sit on the edge, or get up. Izuku isn't going anywhere though, not until he's sure he's alright.] I'm going to go get you some water. Will you be okay here?

[hyaku]

Mm.

[Shigeo nods, staying seated at the edge of the bed and thankful there's no one else in the dorms at the moment to see him there. He probably looks like a wimp... it's not wrong but also. Embarrassing...]

Don't worry about me too much, Midoriya-kun. This happens a lot. I'll be okay.

[mightdoriya]

[Less like a wimp and more like he really overdid it, honestly. Izuku doesn't answer, holding up his hand in a "hold that thought" gesture, as he quickly rushes out to get the promised water. When he returns and hands the glass off to Shigeo, he sits down on one of the other beds to talk to him properly.] It's not good to run like that until you feel like you're going to pass out, you know. I had to learn the hard way the kind of damage pushing yourself past your limits can do.

[hyaku]

[Shigeo mutters a small "thank you" when he's handed water, and he immediately takes a sip from it as Izuku takes a seat. He knows it's not good to overwork yourself but at the same time, it's hard not to when you want fast results...]

I can't catch up with the Body Improvement Club if I can't at least run.

[mightdoriya]

[The...Body Improvement Club...] That's true, but...you have to take it slowly. If you start out running as fast as your club mates you'll just keep exhausting yourself and won't make any progress. Do you know how long you can run for before you start getting really tired like that?

[hyaku]

Fifteen minutes.

[mightdoriya]

And how long were you running for earlier?

[hyaku]

....thirty.

[mightdoriya]

Okay then. Next time you run, you should run for twenty minutes and stop. Then the next morning do it again. Keep running for that long until you're no longer tired running that much. Then, run for twenty-five. Soon you'll be able to run for thirty easily that way.

[hyaku]

What about the other members? They can run for an hour without even getting tired...

[He says that in awe, almost.]

[mightdoriya]

Well...it sounds like they've been a part of this club for a while. They probably didn't start running for an hour all in one day. You have to give your body time to catch up.

[hyaku]

[Shigeo is quiet at that, staring into his cup of water at his shoddy reflection. The only reason he's actually in the club is to try and get buff and cool and impress a girl he likes... of course he can't expect that to happen immediately but he thought that if he worked just as hard as the others-- no, twice as hard he'd be able to get just as strong.

But Izuku is... probably right. The other members just kind of keep pushing him past his limit, but he should really honestly pace himself before he dies. Or something.]

...that makes a lot of sense, Midoriya-kun. I'll give it a try.

[He gives Izuku a smile.]

Do you want to work out with me? We could start at something lower than twenty minutes if you need to.

[you look wimpy with clothes on nevermind that izuku carried mob here]

[mightdoriya]

[Izuku's lips quirk in a funny little way at that, and he almost corrects him, but...] I'd love to train with you, Kageyama-kun. I missed having a partner to work with. As for that, um...we can start with however much running you are comfortable with. I'll keep up with you, not the other way around.

[hyaku]

Okay. Don't push yourself either, though.

[He's excited though.. it's more fun to work out with other people than just by yourself and at least if he passes out he'll have someone reliable to make sure he hasn't actually died.]

[mightdoriya]

You don't have to worry about me. I do this a lot back home. Actually, just exercising is probably the easiest thing I get to do. [All other times he's risking certain bodily injury trying to get a handle over himself, pretty much.]

[hyaku]

Really?

[Shigeo takes another sip of water and mulls that over for a moment, and he thinks back to a conversation they had before.]

Oh, right. Because you're a hero.

[mightdoriya]

[Because you're a hero. Those words make his heart swell just as much as they put a huge weight on his shoulders.] That's right. I mean, I'm not...officially a hero yet, but...I'm going to be one, one day.

[hyaku]

[calm down deku it's just a gullible fourteen year old saying that okay]

Does it need to be official? I thought anyone could be a hero?

[mightdoriya]

If just anyone tried to do a police officer's job it could get pretty dangerous, right? It's the same thing with being a Hero. There's a lot to learn and a lot of things you need to know how to do right before you actually start working as one.

[hyaku]

Hehhh...

[Shigeo lets out a curious sound at that, wondering slightly just what kind of place Izuku must have come from for that kind of weird rule.]

So being a hero is a job?

[mightdoriya]

Mhm. It wasn't always one, but...with heroes, there were villains too. And there started to become a real need for heroes to stop them.
