Horseshoe is pulled in
Gravigal drops by
Bonnet zooms to the finish line
Greetings Duality
The Fox strolls in
BOOM! Nobel grows up!

Horseshoe: I hate that this is my codename until we get to change them ourselves

Bonnet: Indeed! It is a shame that I am unable to utilize my ideal codename until after the sports festival.

Gravigal: honestly u 2 got the unfortunate codnames and thats smth since i'm literally called gravigal rn.

Nobel: WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CODENAME. WHAT THE FUCK IS MY ENTRY LINE!?

Horseshoe: Alfred Nobel was the Swedish inventor of Nitroglycerin, I'm guessing Nezu chose that given your mask is a png file of Nobel's face.

Bonnet: Is that even legal?

Fox: ^

Gravigal: ^

Nobel: ... ^

Horseshoe: Also the entry line refers to the fact that Nitroglycerin was designed as a hype-reffective fertilizer, but people saw that it exploded easily and the rest is quite literally history.

Duality: Probably. Image laws of pre-quirk people have gone to the wayside.

Horseshoe: Huh. Only six of us so far.

Gravigal: ig they working on getting some people encrypted phones. srprised that they didn't do so for me.

Nobel: Fuck off. You have a literal brick for a phone.

Fox: °o°

Mendeleev has formed
Cheese, say "CHEESE"!

Cheese: Quoi?

Mendeleev: Goodness gracious, I have a matching code name to Nobel.

Nobel: Girl what the fuck are you saying? You swear like my great-grandma.

Look out! Name Pending is on an acid trip!
You can't see me. For I'm Invisigal!
Big hug from Multi!
Elmers flows.

Elmers: Why are we here, just to suffer?

Name Pending: ^

Gravigal: oh nos

Invisigal: oh nos

Cheese: Pfft. we got walking gluestick advert, someone without an actual codename, and twins.

Nobel: Shut up you fucking Belgian.

Nezu  renamed Cheese to Limburger

Nezu renamed Name Pending to Venus

Nezu: :D

Limburger: ... dieu, pourquoi m'as-tu abandonné?

Venus: I like.

Gravigal: boo, i wanted the planetary theme.

Blank is here. Maybe.
Fauxaux  is listening.
Ribbit, it's Toad season.
Ding dong! Cake delivery!
Forgetmenot, it's Miles
Bzzt, Thunderbolt sparks into existence

Miles: Thank god these are temporary

Fauxaux: ^

Fauxaux: mines a mouthful to say

Toad: I'm a frog, not a toad kero.

Venus: Oh my gawd you type your speaking tics?

Toad: You don't? kero.

Thunderbolt: As someone who knows @Toad behind the mask, she does not actually go 'kero'

Toad: Traitor, may the tadpoles take your toes kero.

Blank: At least you have creative masks.

Blank sends NezuWTF.heic

Cake: I pity you man. That's extremely lazy.

Nobel: What the fuck. That... that's just a black theater hood. The obscure your face bullshit.

Limburger: that's a crime against fashion, even if it's a cheap temporary mask.

Bonnet: I hate to break it to you but none of the masks are cheap. UA spent probably ¥3.000.000 on each of our masks.

Gravigal: bruh

Fox: ^

Multi: ^

Fauxaux: ^

Invisigal: Well at least @Sticky Note has a mask.

Sticky Note: *facepalm*

Mendeleev: What in tarnation.

Invisigal sends moshimoshi.jpeg.

Nobel: No fucking shot they decided to fuck off from giving you a mask cuz you're invisible.

Horseshoe: Report the support company for quirkism and ask Nezu for one.

Fox: ^

Toad: ^

Multi: ^

Nobel: ^

Eraserhead crawls in.
Am I me, am I you? In any case I'm Mimic.
Raven struts in.

Raven: What a mad banquet of madness.

Mimic: Boo, this name is lazy as fuck.

Horseshoe: Well at least you're not named after a actual horseshoe magnet.

Gravigal: wait a moment thts where ur names frm? lol

Eraserhead: @Class 1-A

Eraserhead: This chatroom is primarily for coordination and news purposes. However, we suggest that you create private channels within here so you have a safe space to vent about your issues. Hound Dog is free every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday so be sure to book a meeting with him if you need a trained adult to talk to.

Eraserhead: Also refrain from pinging me for every issue you may encounter. Part of UA is that you need to learn to be independent and learn from mistakes, so while I will help you if the issue is dire I won't do so for minor issues.

Eraserhead: @Invisigal, the support company that made your mask has been reported for theft and corruption. Expect your mask tomorrow while Power Loader makes it.

Gravigal: can we change our chatnames? some of these are weird and boring.

Eraserhead: ... Fine. Be sure to put your official codenames in brackets as well though.

Nobel: Thank fuck.

20 users have changed their nicknames

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Probably going to be my hero name

Rocket Powered Guy (Nobel): Suits you really fucking well you nerd.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Fuck you.

Plutonian (Gravigal): i wanted my nick tb a pun with my irl name, but i found out four years ago about the Munich Hero Massacre and y we do the mask thing to this day.

Artificer (Mendeleev): Ah, that incident. Darkest hour of heroics, and ended the Golden Age of heroics.

Echopulse (Fauxaux): Wait we're not in the Golden Age of heroics anymore?

Edgar Allen Crow (Raven): Rather obvious one mayhaps say. The darkness of that day lingers, and the Onyx Age rises.

Bulletin (Blank): The fact that it's called the Onyx Age is hilarious.

Artificer (Mendeleev): Gem meanings?

Bulletin (Blank): Gem meanings indeed.

Alien Queen (Venus): Educate me senpais.

Alien Queen (Venus) has been renamed to Acidrain (Venus)

Nezu: While UA is allowed to utilize Mendeleev and Nobel as valid codenames, the usage of Alien Queen is restricted because somehow Disney lives.

Acidrain (Venus): T^T

Bulletin (Blank): Going back to the derailed convo. Onyx is a gem that represents visual clarity. We're all masked.

Prismatic (Invisigal): That's honestly ironic.

Artificer (Mendeleev): There is no gem that represents negative traits such as blindness.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Fucking cringe. Gems shouldn't be treated as girly shit.

Acidrain (Venus): Mood.

Fresh (Elmers): Wait, gems are girly? Who decided that?

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Society, which I want to shoot in the face.

Tarmac (Bonnet): I know I should disapprove of your comment, but honestly same.

Eraserhead: @Class 1-A, go to sleep it's 11:00 in the evening.

Class 1-A Group Chat

Chlorica (Venus): Why do so many of us have guns.

Fresh (Elmers): The better question is why don't you lot don't have a gun?

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): ^

Glitterborn (Limburger): Oui ^

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): ^

Artificer (Mendeleev): Agreed

Inductor (Thunderbolt): ^

Froppy (Toad): ^

Prismatic (Invisigal): I should get a gun.

Chlorica (Venus): See, we did our physical assessment now. And while Neodymium Heart and Limburger have a reason to utilize guns, though Neodymium Heart also has fancy magnet manipulation tech, the rest of you lot don't make sense. Apart from Artificer I suppose...

Inductor (Thunderbolt): Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe, [sniff] maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): For a fucking slapstick comedy team shooter, there are many badass moments.

Bulletin (Blank): I'll be the first to admit that I can not be allowed near guns for my own safety, mainly because my Quirk emits through my hands.

Chlorica (Venus): But you used it as a bat?

Chlorica (Venus): Oh wait ooohhhhh

Bulletin (Blank): Yeah we didn't exactly have a sharpness test, but you can imagine the absolute dangers of creating a flat length of 0.01µm thick hardlight.

Chlorica (Venus): But... your hands?

Bulletin (Blank): Yeah I found out yesterday that I can scrunch up my hardlight pages but nothing else can change its shape.

Tarmac (Bonnet): I'll be honest, but the fact that many of us have guns is not something that concerns me. What concerns me is that Glitterborn and Neodymium Heart have a laser rifle and a railgun respectively.

Glitterborn (Limburger): It's cheaper to have a solar recharge gun than to restock on ammo every time I use a magazine.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): The most expensive part of my railgun is the railgun itself. Ammo I just use steel bearing balls, stuff you can find in the convenience store.

Inductor (Thunderbolt): Speaking of the physical, what are the rankings?

Inductor (Thunderbolt): Eraserhead-sensei didn't let me participate since I apparently already did it.

Eraserhead: Your medical file is extremely in-depth. There was no point in doing exercises that give me the same conclusion as a physical done three days prior.

Chlorica (Venus): °0°

Fresh (Elmers): Also I have a gun so I can launch my sticky-balls further distances.

Inductor (Thunderbolt): Mine's less of a gun and more of a focus tool for my quirk.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Grenade launcher that launches grenades filled with my sweat.

Froppy (Toad): Dart-gun, since my saliva is mildly paralytic.

Chlorica (Venus): Kinda gross, but very effective. This is directed at @Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel), @Fresh (Elmers) and @Froppy (Toad).

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): You should get a pressure washer that shoots out your acid.

Glitterborn (Limburger): Join the Gun Group.

Private Chat Between @Froppy and @Inductor

Froppy: Kero, I was not aware you had a physical three days ago.

Inductor: ... didn't wanna.

Inductor: But my parents, they scheduled it without telling me.

Froppy: Oh.

Froppy: I'll ask Nezu if we can be exempted from the no-contact rule.

Inductor: you don't need to.

Froppy: I want to damnit. We already know each other too well to hide the fact that we know our respective identities.

Froppy: Look. Rai. Your parents are fucking asses.

Inductor: tell me something i don't know.

Froppy: And Eraserhead was in the wrong for excluding you like that.

Inductor: Is he though?

Froppy: Yes. He cut off a way for you to get to know your classmates better. Seeing their skills for yourself is different than getting a case file for it.

Froppy: Except you didn't even get a case file.

Froppy: And your parents probably organized it to be quirk based as well, which means that for physical rankings you don't know where you are at.

Inductor: ...

Inductor: talk to nezu about it please.

Froppy: Will do, kero.

Class 1-A Group Chat

Eraserhead: @Inductor (Thunderbolt) @Class 1-A

@Eraserhead sent Class Rankings

Tarmac (Bonnet): ... I don't remember it looking like that.

Mannesanguine (Mimic): He slid in Inductor, but also shuffled a few of us around... Why am I near the bottom?

Glitterborn (Limburger): ... le connard en a fait un classement d'évaluation de Quirk.

Echopulse (Fauxaux): Guess this is Quirkism at play...

@Eraserhead has been muted and kicked by @Nezu.

Nezu: I deeply apologize for the actions of Eraserhead. While he means well, actions such as this are inexcusable. Additionally, he has been overzealous in his attempts at keeping identities secret. While it is WHA policy that students may not reveal their identities to each other until they pass the 'secrecy exam', UA is unique in the sense that the entrance exam includes a certified 'secrecy exam' made by a school in Mexico.

Nezu: All of you may take off masks and such around each other, though it is purely at your own discretion. If you trust someone enough you may reveal yourselves. One of the key aspects of heroism is a support network both in and outside the masks. @Tarmac (Bonnet), I hope you may explain your own experiences regarding bonding with heroes both in and out of the mask as an outsider and now as a fellow hero.

Nezu: @Froppy (Toad), please inform Thunderbolt that I've scheduled a proper physical for him after dinner at 20:00 with Recovery Girl and All Might. I've also take liberties to calculate the true rankings with the passive effects of Quirks taken into account. Toad and Multi, this doesn't effect you surprisingly as you've kept your fitness at a high standard despite natural advantages.

@Nezu sent recalculatedrankings.png

Froppy (Toad): Seems reasonable.

Tentacole (Multi): Appreciate the honesty in your calculations, even if my position didn't get affected in the end.

Mannesanguine (Mimic): Huh, I got docked marks for Quirk-borne agility boost. Didn't know that, thanks @Nezu

Druid (Fox): You seem oddly more accepting of this than two days ago?

Mannesanguine (Mimic): Neodymium Heart presented a highly compelling argument. And also this affects everyone with passive quirk benefits, including Nobel's increased arm strength and Artificer's surprisingly dense muscles.

Arificer (Mendeleev): Quirk made it so that I spend fats very quickly, so I have very thick and densely packed muscles because of it.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Egh, not the best fucking time for this... but well

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): @Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe) we need to talk.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Preferably in person so our chat can't be recorded.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Sure? But I don't really know you, nor do I exactly trust you.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Keep the mask on then. But honestly, we need to figure out where and what our relationship with each other is. I don't fucking deserve your trust if I'm correct about who you are.

"I know who you are." 

"You really shouldn't. How'd you find out"

"Hard to ignore the fact that I ghosted you for fear of harming you for three years."

"... Bakugou?"

"That confirms it... fuck am I bad at the mushy talks."

"Pfft, you haven't changed one bit have you."

"Well, I'm talking to you now."

"Fair. Why did you want to talk? You have no reason to."

"To apologize, in person. I was a shitty friend."

"You had a reputation that made it dangerous for me to be friends with you."

"I could have still fucking texted you."

"... You have nothing to apologize for."

"In the words of Belgian. Au contraire, I have a lot of things to apologize for."

"The fact that Aldera was a hellhole is not your fault"

"Shin is my fault. I fucking killed her."

"She's alive."

"... What. How. When the fuck. I saw her flame extinguish, that's a death sentence for her."

"I may have done a thing."

"De- no not Deku. Izuku!? What the fuck?"

"Yeah I'm tied to her, she's feeding on my soul energy."

"I'm not even gonna argue about the fucking logistics of it, but I maintain my comment. What the fuck?"

"I'm fine!"

"Yeah well, what happens when she fucking dies again?"

"Then I feed her more?"

"And what happens when she needs to feed on your entire damn soul to live?"

"Then I become an independent specter that operates on my own devices but is tied to her as part of her quirk."

"... What the fuck, Izuku you have issues."

"I blame Aldera. Saryuu-Aku has been very good for me, but there was only so much they could help me with the ingrained issues Aldera caused."

"... I fear your answer but what's Shin studying"

"Heroics."

"... Shit. Why'd you let her do that?"

"Aldera couldn't kill my dream, what makes you think I can kill hers?"

"I- You can't."

"Exactly"

Class 1-A Group Chat

Echopulse (Fauxaux): In light of traumatic events, what's everyones purpose of being a hero?

Echopulse (Fauxaux): As a musician I wanted to be a hero to spread a feeling of security through my actions both as a hero and through any music I create/perform

Froppy (Toad): Inductor and I both want to be heroes to prove naysayers wrong and to inspire hope in people similar to us.

Tarmac (Bonnet): While I appreciate the sentiment, shouldn't Inductor answer for himself?

Froppy (Toad): He's asleep on my lap.

Chlorica (Venus): Is that a ship I see?

Froppy (Toad): No, it's a questionable scenario of "are we friends or dating" kero.

Bulletin (Blank): There is no ship. Only potential romance. And a dislike of natto.

Prismatic (Invisigal): ^

Plutonian (Gravigal): ^

Chlorica (Venus): (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Bulletin (Blank): ... Is it my OCD speaking or are your names literally the same length? Oh kami they rhyme and are alliterative.

Plutonian (Gravigal): ... w8 a sec.

Prismatic (Invisigal): ... wait a second.

Plutonian (Gravigal): omg our initial codenames are the same length

Prismatic (Invisigal): Oh my god I have one letter longer than yours but because mine uses two Is they look the same length.

Tentacole (Multi): As a person with a dramatic mutant quirk, I look to Gang Orca as a major inspiration for heroics.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Oh right... as if the world couldn't get more crapsack somehow mutaphobia is at an all-time high.

Mannesanguine (Mimic): This is why I'm almost misanthropic.

Druid (Fox): Mistakenly so because somehow everyone experiences discrimination of some sort.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): The absolute fucking insane levels of discrimination makes me think this is a fanfic, except FUCK NO this is real life for us.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Look, somehow the world has recurved from Quirkism to Quirklessism back to Quirkism, with mutaphobia flowing and ebbing like a fucking laundry machine. A decade ago mutants were lauded as the most honest Quirk users and now they're treated as natural-born Villains. Where the fuck's the sense in that?

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Let's not even get to the increase in Quirk trafficking and somehow the world bouncing to "Strong Quirks bad"??? What the fuck is my life anymore.

Edgar Allen Crow (Raven): What a mad banquet of darkness.

Frostburn (Duality): Is it a poor time to mention that I was born from a Quirk marriage?

Edgar Allen Crow (Raven): What a mad banquet of darkness.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): WHAT THE FUCK?!

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): ^

Prismatic (Invisigal): ^

Mannesanguine (Mimic): THAT'S IT I'M GOING TO BED.

Plutonian (Gravigal): its 5 in the afternoon.

Mannesanguine (Mimic): Look me in the eyes and tell me how much care you see in them.

Plutonian (Gravigal): tf are your eyes i only see a facemask with a mimic drawing on it.

Prismatic (Invisigal): Speaking of...

Prismatic (Invisigal): @Tarmac (Bonnet), what did Nezu mean by bonding with heroes in and out of the mask.

Tarmac (Bonnet): Ah. Right. I am related to the Pro-Hero Ingenium.

Artificer (Mendeleev): Oh. Legacy heroics?

Tarmac (Bonnet): Yes. Unfortunately my entire family has to stay in one of the HSPC compounds since the family line have been Pro-Heroes for generations.

Tarmac (Bonnet): So anyone part of my family, even distantly related, are at risk because the family name holds a substantial amount of weight for Pro-Heroics.

Tarmac (Bonnet): Mother always worries that Ingenium won't make it back, and while father is retired he still trains in case the compound is broken into.

Druid (Fox): How's it like in the compound?

Tarmac (Bonnet): Boring. Extremely so. It's a subterranean block of concrete with no external windows, meaning we live under artificial lighting 24/7 because having an open air compound is 4 times more dangerous than having an enclosed one. Communications are also tracked, and privacy is nearly as bad as living in a house with glass walls.

Artificer (Mendeleev): Goodness gracious, you mean to tell us that you are effectively living in a mildly less dystopian version of George Orwell's 1984? And you just accept it without any complaints?

Tarmac (Bonnet): Not that bad, but it's rather dull.

Chlorica (Venus): When was the last time you saw the sun???

Tarmac (Bonnet): Today during the physical assessment test.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Tarmac. What the fuck.

Druid (Fox): °-° ^

Chlorica (Venus): (✿⊙∀⊙) ^

Froppy (Toad): ^ Kero

Plutonian (Gravigal): A

Echopulse (Fauxaux): What

Plutonian (Gravigal): i cant longer type the number six cuz the button fell off, which means no up arrows from me until i fix it.

Neodimyum Heart (Horseshoe): My inner techie wants to build you a functional phone that is not a Nokia kept together by duct-tape

Plutonian (Gravigal): no my nokia is a gud phone, survived 80 years in my family. it survived a steamroller and broke the industrial crusher.

Plutonian (Gravigal): also it not duct tape its masking tape.

Neodimyum Heart (Horseshoe): Oh kami it's 80 years old?

Plutonian (Gravigal): i ned it to last 1six0 years.

Froppy (Toad): Kero, just type one hundred sixty.

Plutonian (Gravigal): but it faster typing 1six0 than one hundred sixty

Fiveshot (Miles): The fact that you are very verbose and proper in person but type like a 6 year old on crack is a very stark contrast.

Plutonian (Gravigal): ok now u just bullying me.

Plutonian (Gravigal): also me, verbose? im from mie lmao, im the least verbose person in the room. i just control my accent a lot.

Chlorica (Venus): HAH, clues for my crusade against natto haters.

Bulletin (Blank): But it quite genuinely sucks.

Prismatic (Invisigal): But it sucks.

Plutonian (Gravigal): but it suks

Chlorica (Venus): Well fuck you too. I'm gonna film myself eating natto and DMing it directly to the three of you.

Plutonian (Gravigal): oh i deleted dms function because my phone doesn't have enuf memory to hold it lol.

Chlorica (Venus): You what.

Bulletin (Blank): I can and will spam you with literary nonsense about the poetry of the Bee Movie script.

Prismatic (Invisigal): My DMs block anyone I have not accepted a friend request from.

Chlorica (Venus): But we are friends on this site?

Prismatic (Invisigal): Not anymore.

Chlorica (Venus): Bruh. This is war.

Frostburn (Duality): This looks just like the idea of invading Switzerland, you just don't do that and succeed.

Chlorica (Venus): Bruh.

Chlorica (Venus): Also we're not going to gloss over that reveal @Frostburn (Duality). What the hell do you mean you were born from a quirk marriage?

Frostburn (Duality): It started that way, but after my oldest brother was born they grew to love each other genuinely and they ended up having me just by accident. They didn't expect me to be literally the Quirk Marriage product their parents wanted at all.

Artificer (Mendeleev): You have ruined my tea. Prepare to pay.

Frosty Son: Pfft- go little bro go!

Endeavor: I would typically disapprove of revealing such private details, but the reactions make it worth the sacrifice.

Oldest Embers: HAH, that's hilarious. Also love how you just- dropped it there like it's everyday news.

@Nezu has sent updatedrecalcresults.

Nezu: Congratulations @Inductor (Thunderbolt) for his placement on the test.

Froppy (Toad): 8th place? Nice.

Mannesanguine (Mimic): Whoah you nearly outranked Neodymium Heart, and he's a buff guy.

Baker's Dozen (Cake): Oh shoot I was offline, and damn my passive strength knocked me down two places to 12th? Congrats to Inductor anyways.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): I cleaned Dakoba beach. Not that anyone knows its me since I had dyed my hair a different colour and styled it differently each day.

Plutonian (Gravigal): u wat. i thought that was an entire crew not 1 dude.

Baker's Dozen (Cake): Wait that's why you're that strong?! I thought you used magnets for power gauntlets.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): No I did gauntlet tests as part of my Support Course exam.

Artificer (Mendeleev): You can double course?

Tarmac (Bonnet): Yes, though not many do because of the workload.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Reason why I immediately vetoed being class president, because I have a lot of responsibilities already.

Artificer (Mendeleev): ...I'm contacting Nezu, I want to do business course.

Nezu: Unfortunately you must do the Business Course online, as UA's business course does not have the same masking rule as the Hero and Support Courses.

Artificer (Mendeleev): But... General Course students can transfer into Hero and Support Courses?

Nezu: That's why we have two different general courses. The Civilian Course and the Sidekick Course, as Present Mic nicknames them. The latter has all the students masked, and is typically half the size of the Civilian Course.

Artifiver (Mendeleev): Why wasn't this put on the website then?

Nezu: Student safety, Mendeleev. Student safety.

Nezu: Also @Tarmac (Bonnet), @Plutonian (Gravigal). The two of you have Student Council Meetings with the other Heroics class, the Support Courses and the Sidekick Course.

Plutonian (Gravigal): w8. how did i get elected?

Fiveshot (Miles): Frugal to a fault, we need that attitude for keeping us at budget.

Chronica (Venus): That's it??? Plutonian's frugality to the point of insanity got her elected?

Nezu: And @Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe), Ketsubetsu called and would like to tell you that Noh has been accepted and that they would like for their to be a cross-school exchange with you and her.

Tarmac (Bonnet): Huh? Neodymium Heart (please find a shorter name this is tough to type constantly), you know someone from Ketsubetsu?

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): Oh, her. Yeah I'm getting hell out of dodge when she comes over.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Talk to her damnit.

Chronica (Venus): Ooh is that a ship I smell?

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): FUCK NO YOU LITTLE SHIT

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): FUCK NO

Prismatic (Invisigal): Oh. Oh shit it's related to Aldera isn't it.

Froppy (Toad): And the winner for guessing the obvious answer goes to Prismatic.

Chlorica (Venus): So when was @Bulletin (Blank) going to tell us his cousin is in UA as well?

Bulletin (Blank): Natto-girl, he was planning to go to Ketsubetsu. I'm surprised as well.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Huh. Coincidentally I got a friend of mine going there.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Won't reveal more though.

Plutonian (Gravigal): wha ay dunno s y mrror-san s so mean twrds 1a

Bulletin (Blank): Oh kami. You lost your 'I' key?

Plutonian (Gravigal): ay m savn up to get a weldng set dat s safe for nokyas

Plutonian (Gravigal): my syx key s not saveable tho

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): JUST LET ME FIX IT ALL DAMNIT.

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): You got NH to fucking swear god damn.

Chlorica (Venus): And that's rare?

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): No. He's not a cinnamon roll anymore after Aldera fucking happened, but he's learned a lot of self control over his emotions. Maybe too much, but since I was one of those things that happened to him I got no god damn room to talk.

Echopulse (Fauxaux): Wait you were a bully? How the hell did you get into UA?

Rocket Propelled Guy (Nobel): I got no fucking clue, but I ain't looking a gift horse in the mouth if it means I make even marginal steps at repenting my sorry ass.

Echopulse (Fauxaux): That- ugh, honestly one of the more valid opinions I've heard from 'former' bullies.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Honestly after yesterday it's best to believe he's repenting.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): Hang on getting a bunch of pings in another chatgroup.

Champion Team!

Bounsweet: Why was I spam-pinged here?

Litwick: We're all gonna evolve.

Geodude: Y'know outside of us six people are gonna be REALLY confused by us throwing pokémon terminology around.

Bounsweet: Well you can thank @Gothita for that. And also why am I Bounsweet I literally use magnets not kicks.

Litwick: It's them thicc thighs.

Gothita: I sense I have made a rather unfortunate mistake.

Tinkatink: They've treated each other like I treat my babies and now you've given Magneto 2.0 the pokémon with one of the most thirsted after thighs.

Tinkatink: Yes you have made a mistake.

Bounsweet: Could you not have given me an Aron, Solosis, or even Beldum. Bounsweet is an all-female line.

Gothita: Aron fits more @Geodude, Solosis infringes on Generation V, but you make a good point for Beldum.

Litwick: I will pay you 2 boxes of Gold Tips Imperial Black Tea Phantom Blend to keep his name as the Bounsweet line.

Geodude: Litwick...

Togetic: Oh it's that time of the year. Where Litwick thirsts after Bounsweet, Gothita rejects Bounsweet's name change again, and Geodude looks on in confusion.

Geodude: Have you no filter?

Bounsweet: Why am I in this chat again?

Tinkatink: Bcuz we makin an agency together. @Togetic will be head, @Gothita will be finance & tactics, you and me as support tech, @Litwick as AOE, and @Geodude as tank.

Bounsweet: Ah. Right. Our plan.

Geodude: Tbh it does get tiring with all this chaos.

Video Call

Bounsweet is joining the call.
Togetic is joining the call.
Geodude is joining the call.
Tinkatink is joining the call.
Litwick is joining the call.

"Good evening. We all unveil when Gothita arrives right?"

"YEAH! Looking forward to see y'all even if it's only a mask."

"According to my calculations with Gothita, Bounsweet and I working together on it, my cybersecurity baby should decrease any chances of our faces being leaked by a factor of 90%. It's AMAZING."

"And not to your neighbors."

"You've probably thought about Bounsweet in schmeggsy clothing, and probably have done loud things with those thoughts."

"I- wha- NO I DON'T DO THAT?!"

"... AND YOU CALL ME BLUNT?"

"So not manly."

Gothita is joining the call. Late again.

"Did you really have to make the program sass me?"

"Is it not true?"

"Was that Bounsweet or Tinkatink speaking at the same time? Because that was awesome. And spooki"

"I can hear the AYE BEING USE INSTEAD OF THE WHY AND I DON'T LIKE IT."

"Will you consider my name change then?"

"No. Two boxes of Gold Tips Imperial Black Tea Phantom Blend? Worth more than logic."

"Screw you."

"Tinkatink, you got a mask?"

"Yeah duh. It's a fancy baby. Boosts my quirk and got a fancy HUD with it. It's what I used to get in to UA."

"Oh. Oh no."

"Oh yes."

"Quilava is there isn't he? If so, then my condolences."

"Oh him, he's not manly at all. Are you sure he's suitable for being a hero."

"He's kicked himself over and over about a particular incident. I trust him more now."

"Mask reveal! 3 2 1"

"..."

"Oh-wow-you-all-look-so-interesting-what-courses-are-you-taking-I-want-to-know-ALL-about-my-kohais-before-we-finally-make-that-agency-together"

"You hair... that's definitely Bounsweet. Appeal rejected."

"And them thighs."

"Oh fuck you."

"Ara ara~"

Class 1-B group chat

Steelskin (I-beam): @Comicman (Dictionary) your cousin is scary. And very manly.

Comicman (Dictionary): He's harmless.

Forger (Mirror): He's not.

Comicman (Dictionary): That's what you get for eating Wonder Bread

Thorne (Green): By God's name he's not harmless if that triggers him.

Meldfist (Staples): To be fair is he wrong?

Thorne (Green): I don't appreciate Forger's consumption of common toast either, but resorting to violence for it is not what I would have done.

Cellophaze (Ducktape): I would have tied him up and offered him as a sacrifice to the fox maidens.

Forger (Mirror): What the fuck man.

Thorne (Green): Not... fatally I hope?

Cellophaze (Ducktape): If it means Forger takes a better name, then non-fatal

League of Villainous-minded People

T.Shigaraki: Father, why are we not attacking UA? They're gonna be undefended soon, at least in the USJ

A.Shigaraki: Because we actually have souls.

K.Hikiishi: It is a tactically advantageous time though.

A.Shigaraki: We. Have. Souls.

A.Shigaraki: I get that you're questioning my motives, but given that in my life I bore witness to the rise of the Onyx Age and in truth it sickens me.

K.Hikiishi: That's... odd for an ancient villain. What sickens you about it?

A.Shigaraki: I don't mind death if it reaches my goals... but the Munich Hero Massacre was one of the biggest cases of senseless violence I have heard of. It hits too close to home.

T.Shigaraki: Father?

K.Garaki: Master's family were killed by the initial formings of Humarise. He also possessed a rather amiable relation with the lineage of his brother's quirk, resulting in more of a comedic slapstick hero-villain relationship.

A.Shigaraki: And that's not to say about your own grandmother. My 7th nemesis's husband got murdered for much of the same logic as the family of the Munich heroes. She and I made a temporary truce and taught the folly of their ways.

J.Bubaigawara: That's fucking bull. Thats perfectly understandable.

K.Garaki: @J.Bubaigawara I'd normally encourage your... unstable personality but how does it leak into text?

J.Bubaigawara: I dunno. Fuck you that's why.

Chapter Text

Fresh (Elmers): Can someone explain how we are meant to be marketable when we have no faces?

Bulletin (Blank): Uh... @Tarmac (Bonnet) @Artificer (Mendeleev) this is your specialty.

Bulletin (Blank): All I know is that we got no mouths and we must scream.

@Tarmac (Bonnet) is typing

Artificer (Mendeleev): Tarmac's probably going to type an essay, but long and short of it is that our gimmicks and full-body appearance are marketed more than our facial appearance.

Tarmac (Bonnet): Artificer's summary is correct for the most part. Facial appearance is now no longer as important, and even higher focus is given to personality, gimmick, and full-body appearance. Though it's unfair to say that facial appearance is unimportant due to the presence of our Hero masks.

Tarmac (Bonnet): With that being said, Hero Marketing is now under several laws. No halloween costumes of Heroes may be sold, primarily for the safety of civilians in this case, and biographies/biopics need to go through a lengthy legal progress 10 years after the hero has retired.

Tarmac (Bonnet): For Lineage Heroes such as myself, hero merchandise is released in "Models". Obviously only one Ingenium can exist at any given moment, but for merchandise if heroes are siblings with a shared theme such as my older brother and myself, then I would be marketed as Ingenium: Tarmac edition. Obviously no one wants the identities muddled up, but well it's the best we can do.

Tarmac (Bonnet): Now if you had an entirely different design, then you can be marketed under only your own hero name, but then you'll be starting fresh apart from maybe being sold in the same line.

Fresh (Elmers): Alright that makes sense for Lineage Heroes.

Fresh (Elmers): But what about female heroes? Cuz Golden Age advertising... They lean to the lewd side.

Tarmac (Bonnet): ...

Tarmac (Bonnet): I- then recommend you to look up Balletnette, the Swan Lake hero. She's a Golden Age hero that still operates today, so she's had both Golden Age and Onyx Age style advertising.

Artificer (Mendeleev): That Hokkaido heroine? She's... interesting.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): She's so fascinating, her entire family history suddenly went poof, and her quirk.

Neodymium Heart (Horseshoe): She's also the only real unmasked heroine left in Japan.

Artificer (Mendeleev): Wait what.

Tarmac (Bonnet): That is correct. Despite the dangers associated with it, Balletnette has never worn a mask in her career.

HPSC Database

Hero Name: Balletnette
Real Name: Odori Aleksandra
Hero Era: Golden Age
Quirk Name: Critical Beat
Quirk Type: Emitter/Wildcard
Quirk Description: The user's heart beats at a constant 80bpm in rest or 160bpm when active. Any attack done on-beat is imbued with an aura that increases damage by a large factor.

Notes: Balletnette is one of the last Golden Age heroes still active, in part due to her having her family change their surnames and her burning the paper trail thoroughly. While her real identity is still public, a repeat of Munich would not be possible with her. Even Nezu has no access to Balletnette's family records.

6 users had their names changed:

Steenee: Sigh.

Lampent: What's the issue Steenee?

Steenee: You committed me to this name imagine this entire chatlog got leaked.

Gothorita: I purged every single record of our video call from last week. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.

Tinkatuff: That is to say I purged them since I own the harddrives, @Gothorita only manages the cybersecurity.

Graveller: I hate my school uniform.

Lampent: Shiketsu sucks dude there's so many problems with that school.

Graveller: Have you been there???

Lampent: Dude there's only one mutant quirk user. ONE.

Gothorita: Wait how do you know that.

Steenee: It's common knowledge.

Togetic: Shiketsu's privacy defense is bad lmao. Their masks always comes with a distinct hat, which forces the students to shout "HEY BOYO I AM OF SHIKETSU PUNCH ME IN THE NUTZ NOW" to villains.

Togetic: It's just sad.

Graveller: Aw crap.

Graveller: Guys is it too late to transfer out there's military everything.

@Steenee sent a file

Steenee: Fill that in asap and send it to HPSC.

Graveller: A military academy?

Steenee: Remnant name, they're the 5th rank and use generic masks that overlap with the other top 3 hero schools.

Togetic: Yes actually fill in that form. Kaseike Military Academy will teach you so much better to adapt than the vintage conformism Shiketsu enforces.

Steenee: Guns are sweet.

Tinkatuff: Yep! I wanna see your railgun tho Steenee.

Steenee: Oh right I got two masks you probably seen my railgun but not the complete form.

Tinkatuff: w h a t

Starter Masks: Class 1A

About Starter Masks:

Starter masks are masks utilized by heroes in training. They are designed to be ugly (e.g. Mendeleev, Multi, Miles), already too commonly used by civilians to be useable (e.g. Fox, Blank and Duality), or utilizes previously copyrighted media (e.g. Toad, Raven, Elmers). Several other of the masks such as Gravigal's, Venus's or are not usable due to it being near-single shade with a stock graphic applied. Cases of a good design, such as Nobel, Fauxaux, Bonnet, and Mimic are not useable as they belong to a hero academy's personal trademark.

The masks used are taken out of rotation for 5 years but are not discarded unless the wearer becomes publically, as was the case with Spotlight (now Namirene) stopping a massive bank robbery in her first year. Using the rotation method, which originated from the Münchner Heldenakademie, a 60% decrease in familial deaths was noted. Shiketsu utilize a stock mask for all students, but recently they have been under fire for utilizing the traditional Shiketsu military cap as part of the design due to it's instant recognizability. Seiai utilizes white masks with a kanji character written on it, which provides enough overlap with masks from UA, Ketsubetsu, and Kaseike Academy to not warrant issue.

Double-coursing students are allowed to have two masks to further befuddle any hostile information gatherers. Certain courses however are done online for the safety of the non-masked.
