[So. Here's that green-haired, freckled teen that his loud bff was going on about. Izuku sits cross-legged on the bed in his bedroom of his newly provided apartment that he has yet to decorate or anything to personalize the space. He looks a little sheepish as he checks if it seems to be working. He's used to something similar, having this sort of technology back home, at least.]

Um. Hi? I'm Midoriya. That is, uh, Midoriya Izuku. I guess a lot of you already kind of know of me from Kacchan earlier...

[He's sorry. Really. It isn't like he asked Bakugo to go off like that.]

I was just trying to get my bearings, I guess. I heard there's school, or at least classes, here. To learn about our new abilities? I think I'd like that. I want to learn to use mine. To at least learn how to control it. If not to help out with it, and my Quirk. Plus, I want to look into prosthetics to help Kacchan. Maybe learn more about music....? I'm sure there's probably a library or something I can check! And I want to be useful and help out, maybe figure out a part-time job?

[......Yeah. That talk that he had with Bakugo about not overdoing it. Izuku might already be wanting to do more than he might realistically be able to manage. Because he's a Nerd and actually wants to Learn about this place and the abilities, and wants to help out as much as he can. This kid is just not used to the idea of not keeping busy, not being useful. Still in that habit of feeling like he has to prove himself.]

There's definitely schools here, but if you wanna learn about seasonal abilities, you can always ask someone at your guild or someone else in your season to train! Oh, but if you wanna go to school for magic, there's the Magical Manor for learning other spells, the kind anyone can learn. Or the Potion Tower for making potions, some of my friends go there.

[procedere]

My Guild? Um, right. I know the Manor and Tower were mentioned. I guess I'm just still figuring out options. What I want to do. It's different here, from back home where I knew what I wanted, I guess?

[He had his goal to become a Hero. Here? Izuku isn't as sure. But there seem to be plenty of things to look into, to keep him occupied and then some. Bakugo wasn't wrong when he was trying to tell him not to overdo it.]

[roundandaround]

Hm... how about trying everything that looks fun until you find something cool? That'll take a long time, though, huh.

[procedere]

Everything? Ah.....yeah, that might take a while. But I guess, in theory, eventually I would figure out something that I enjoyed doing for work?

[If he did enough jobs. Surely something would stick eventually.]

[fauxbot]

If ya wanna learn 'bout prosthetics 'n music, I can help ya with both, if you want. I'm a master at the first one - made my own 'n everything!

[Said as he shows off the prosthetic in question, of course. Even though... Izuku's seen it...]

... For the second, Music Club's also a good option. Miss Rinku runs it; dunno the schedule myself, but 's once a week, at least.
I just show up when I hear they all gettin' together.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

You made your own? That's pretty impressive. I hadn't figured on looking into it much before, but I do want to be able to help Kacchan when he gets his new arm. So, I want to learn what I can. Anything that might help me to be able to support him. Maybe figuring out how to help him with some simpler maintenance?

[Still, the boy tilts his head as the other shows his arm. And then mentions the music club.]

There's a club? I just know Kacchan mentioned he was in a band. I listen to music sometimes, but it's not like I'm an expert, or that I know about the theory and stuff. So I thought I might try to learn more.

[fauxbot]

[Predictably, getting told it's impressive gets a grin to spread on that screen of his, bright and glowing gold as ever.]

I can teach ya with all that 'n more! I mean, hell - 's just robotics 'n anatomy, figurin' out how to put'em together.
Nerves're just the way the body's wired up... blood's nothin' more than fuel.

'N I can help ya with music theory, too, if you interested in it. I mean... you don't need it for music - but 's somethin' I like 'bout music.
It's a kinda math, y'know? The way notes all fit together, the time signatures, what makes somethin' sound good... it's all just math with noise.

[... Just as predcitably, the big roboticist nerd really, really likes math.]

[This next response comes shy-voiced.]

So it really is you...

[His wonder softens, hesitates-] We have a school, and a music club. Everything we had before, almost- [Almost. There's still more. A lot more.] How would you feel about working with flowers a bit?

[Yes... recruiting!]

video; un: midoriya

[procedere]

Todoroki-san! Kacchan mentioned you two were in a band! Ah, they said you were working at the cafe. With the flowers. I haven't done much gardening or anything, but I could try to learn. Did you need help at the cafe?

[It's just a matter of figuring out what grows when, with the seasons, right? And making sure they have sunlight, and that they get enough water. It seems simple enough? In theory, at least.]

[itsmypower]

Ah.

[Small confirmation.] It's helping the flowers more than me in this case. [The "earliest" Aerith mentioned "voice", and he too's taken to tuning himself to their life-pulse; speaking with plants...

He straightens, proud.]

They've taught me a lot... about myself.

[Which is to say he's found purpose-]

If you'd like to learn arrangement, I mean.

Nice to meet you, Midoriya! My name is Sizhui and I'm on the market for a job as well. Is there anything particular that you like to do? There are lots of jobs around here, apparently, it's just figuring out what you like and where to go.

I can't say that I know much about prosthetics, but I do know music, so if you are willing to learn, I'd be willing to teach you what I know.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

Sizhui-san? Ah, well...back home, I would train a lot. And um, I'd study for school. Especially about Heroes and different Quirks. I'm not sure about jobs here, though. I do okay at school, maybe I could help tutor?

[He isn't necessarily the top of his class, but he does fairly well. For all that he was so focused and determined to be a Hero, Izuku is a Nerd and does well academically.]

But ah, you could teach me? That would be great!

[deferences]

[while he doesn't know what a quirk is, he can deduce that it has something to do with heroes, which makes him consider the fact that maybe he means some type of magic? maybe something even similar to the powers they've gained while here?] Tutoring could be good! I'm sure there are a lot of people who could use your help.

[as long as he does well, he can surely teach other people! sizhui doesn't see why he wouldn't be able to.

following a nod,] Yes, of course. I would love to.

You're going to burn out in a few weeks. I'm calling it now.

[Katsuki's completely unsurprised to see Izuku asking about so many different things on the network and he's sure Izuku can hear the unamused tone through the text. He's definitely going to overdo it, isn't he....]

un: midoriya

[procedere]

it's not that much? i don't think?

[But then. Izuku was always overdoing it back home. So this is hardly anything new. He just wants to help. To support Bakugo especially.]

[boombam]

You want to go to school, help with my prosthetics, learn about music and get a job.

On paper it doesn't seem like that much. But there's also Quests and the fact that you can't live in that apartment forever. You'll have to save up money so you can rent a nice place and make sure you have enough money to feed yourself, too. And of course you're going to be sparring with me at least once a week.

It's a lot for one guy to juggle at once. Why do you want to learn more about music, anyway? Because I asked you to watch us practice?

( This all sounds like an almost reasonable amount of things to do. Then again, don't ask Annie what should be reasonable. Just not a great plan. )

Be cautious of which library. Rinku mentioned one where the books might catch you up in spells or bite you. Might be worth bringing leather gloves.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

the books what now?!

[lyingheart]

Bite?

un: abnormalitylover, video

[abnormalizes]

If you like libraries at all, you have to check out the Amberfall Library, it's incredible. I've never seen that many books in one place anywhere else. You can totally learn about whatever you want there.

[nerd heard 'library' and immediately fixated]

un: midoriya

[procedere]

Amberfall library? I'll have a look! Is that like the main one here?

[It sounds like it? If it is that big. Has that many books. Only this nerd would be excited about that......]

[abnormalizes]

It is! It's so big you can actually get lost in it, it's incredible.

Oh hey, the cute dork the yell-y guy was talking about.

You're a kid, yeah? Kids shouldn't have jobs.

un: midoriya

[procedere]

The -- ah. Kacchan...y-yeah. That was me he was yelling about.

[Cute dork, though....?]

I'm sixteen.

[madmewmew]

You're even better in person.

[Or as in person as over the phones can be.]

... That's still pretty young to do all that and a job though? Unless it's different for humans.
