Chapter Text
Will: I’m Alive! Sorry about that, Bandits attacked The Group we were with and I was….sent over a cliff into a monster filled desert
Will: Good News, I’m In Gran Trad and Am Now Signed up with the military, Aside from some racism It went alright, I may have even made a new friend!
Frisk: Oh thank Dog, you’re okay! Wait- what do you mean Racism???
Izumi: Oh, you’re alive!!! I hope you’re feeling okay, with the racism…
Seiji: We’re hiding in a cave rn. An Allomon is outside hunting us… scared…
Will: Seiji, be careful, and Frisk?.....to answer your question: I’m an Elda, No Horns, No pointy ears, No glass like eyes or the small, nimble body of a Eugief, or the Animalistic traits that make Paripus stand out….
Will: What’s Worse is just how common it Is here……There was a Paripus man Just….hung, everyone cheering for his death….no one even bothered to listen to hear his side, all because of a pair of dog ears and a tail…..
Izumi: That’s awful! It’s even worse than how people treat the quirkless or people with mutation quirks… I can’t believe people would be so cruel…
Frisk: I mean, I can, but that’s a trauma response rather than a racism response.
Afia: Your Telling me, Racism isn’t much a problem here….until the inquisition gets involved, Basically anything without a beating pulse and reeking with curse is their mortal enemy….which, fine by me, I’ll be more then happy to throw My cutlass into their workings….preferably into a neck or heart….
Afia: Also, Ship Doctor’s back up, just finished up and We’re sailing to Morrow’s Reach Now to rescue everybody else
Frisk: Yay..? I think? I don’t really do the fighting. The Underground is weird. There’s ALWAYS a way to get out of a confrontation without fighting. Usually it involves getting into a fight first- But yeah.
Izumi: Today’s the last day of my training… Nervous-
Will: Deep Breaths Izumi…..your getting a hero school, right? It should be fine! If a school for heroes is anything Like I think it should be, then moral fibre and Strength of heart is what their looking for
Afia: Honestly, As a Pirate, don’t care much for the law….that being said, I’m sure Ya’ll do fine Izumi!....That being Said, You’ve said “Quirks” alot, I’m assuming that’s some kind of other name for powers?
Izumi: Oh, right. Yeah, Quirks are basically superpowers. Over 80% of people have quirks these days, so those without them are “quirkless”, meaning they don’t have a quirk. There’s some discrimination against the Quirkless, but that’s just because they can get in the way when heroes are doing their jobs.
Will: I….don’t even know what to say to that, like…..Either A: A quirkless person is in danger, at which point their not just in the way of a hero’s job, They are, in fact, in need of a hero or B: Their just reckless, at which point the latter yes, they are getting in the way, but discriminating against the quirkless as a whole….doesn’t sound right
Afia: Aye to that, So what if ya can’t fart fire out your arse or Turn people to gold? Ya can still kick arse, Hell, just ask our version of One William Kidd, The Guy’s not a cursed but he’s still kicking inquisition Arse left and right, and collecting a sizable Amount of treasure in the process. All of it thanks to his wit and cunning. Moral of his story: long as you got those two factors, you don’t need no powers….having a sword is helpful too though.
Izumi: That’s not what I meant. If you’re quirkless, you’ll only get in the way in a dangerous situation, so it’s better to just stay out of the way so that you don’t get in the way of any heroes or quirked people who are able to help. It’s just how things are.. Also swords aren’t exactly legal…
Will: …..Izumi, would you happen to be quirkless?....because….I’m getting senses to things I don’t like the feel of.
Izumi: I… Yes but not for long? It’s complicated and I shouldn’t go into too much detail in case someone with a tech quirk is able to find whatever this chatroom is but I won’t be quirkless for much longer. I’m going to be a hero, like I always dreamed…
Will: Izumi……
Afia: Is it okay if I get names? I Promise, just a quick Cannon Ride into the ocean, Scare the tendencies out of Em’
Will: Afia!
Afia: What? I don’t like these kinds of Arseholes, and I’m an Pirate, what did ya expect?
Will: ….good point
Will: Okay-point is, Izumi……you don’t deserve to think that, No one does. It’s not about and never will be about the power….but your actions, your heart. It’s not about who can punch the hardest or who can make the coldest ice…..but it’s about the moral integrity, the Will to do good….Tell me, Why do you want to be a hero?
Izumi: A hero… A hero is someone who puts others first, in order to protect as many people as they can. There will always be people beyond our reach, that we can't protect. Which is why we have to save the people we can reach.. Does that.. Make sense?
Will: It makes perfect sense to me, Izumi
Afia: Sounds about right to me, proper heart of gold ya got there Izumi
Izumi: Oh- Uhm. Thanks. I hope Seiji and Frisk are okay.. They haven’t spoken in a while…
Frisk: I’m fine! Just. Just bled out. A few times. Ow. At least some of the monsters I was close to seem to recognise me a little bit… Napsta thought I was weirdly familiar and let me live, so that was nice! I just wish that dying didn’t hurt now…
Afia: I’m starting to think maybe you did something to stretch your timeline too thin frisk, Because it’s sounding like your going through events again but something is extremely wrong
Will: I also hope Seiji’s well…….I have to sleep, we’re moving out to a fort tomorrow to begin training, hopefully we’ll find our contact….
Frisk: I mean… I don’t think I did anything different than usual? Unless picking up the Quiche on my last attempt to save Az ruined reality…
Afia: Az?.....wait, you were trying to save someone? Using this….Quinche thingie?
Frisk: No, but I was really hungry and I usually don’t pick up the floor-quiche because i don’t like quiches, and the quiche was right there and… yeah. It’s complicated. I was trying to build an entirely new soul for someone who lost their original one…
Afia: …..yeah i’m…..gonna go ask Suliedy about that, you……You do you?
<<<[Afia’s World….]>>>
The Red Marley hummed to herself as she sailed across the sea back to Morrow’s reach, the night slowly turning to the early hours of the morning. The waters peaceful, the wind in her sail nice and cool….a rather nice morning, all things considered. Perhaps a good sign? She may have lost a majority of her crew-who themselves were without black pearls-but they had the ship doctor Back, and Afia Manicato-Though new to their fold-had proven herself very useful with her rescue from the jaws of the inquisition….The Marley supposed perhaps the new “Navigator” shall be a more welcome addition yet. But for now, The Fate Meddling ship was content with simply enjoying the trip to their next mission….
“I’M SORRY SHE TRIED TO WHAT!?”
The Marley sighed….oh well, the peace was nice whilst it lasted, perhaps if she ignores it And just continues onward it shall resolve itself…not that She could do much herself, after all: She was a haunted pirate ship that Could mess with time itself, what was she gonna do?
