@ochako | cw: the scarabs from the mummy
Ready, Ochako—?! [ a double high-five awaits her! or perhaps, make that quadruple. egg follows shōyō’s lead and want the same for his feather claws. ] Team Space Birds!
[ deep tweet ]
no subject
I think so, just wanted to double check our supplies... [She's beaming at Shoyo, despite being pretty serious on the inside. Her main worry is people having fallen down and injured themselves...or worse, so time if of the essence.] I can float us all down with my quirk, or would you rather do it yourselves?
[M-Maybe said as she absently gives scritchies and pets to Egg, because it just reminds her too much of Dark Shadow, and he loved pets. Of course, as she stands up and stretches, she will 100% smack both her palms to Shoyo's careful not to touch him with all her five fingers...l-lest he start to float by mistake, ahaha...]
no subject
Do the floaty thing.
[ please do the floaty thing he's begging you! ]
no subject
Okay, okay, both of you on either side of me.
[She says, giving herself an absent pat as she begins to lift off the ground in Zero Gravity. Her two hands are outstretched for the human and his bird to take, and once her five fingers connect with their skin...the telltale pink glow of her fingerpads will activate her quirk on them both and they'll feel the brief "butterflies in the stomach" tingle as they both start to lift off the ground as well.
She did it, the floaty thing.]
no subject
icon is exactly how shoyo reads at this very moment: woooooooo!!! ]
This is awesome—! [ said in a high pitched tune that only flies higher—! ] You're so awesome!!
i love him....
Ehehe...thanks, i-it's really nothing, just my quirk. [Seriously. This is exactly what her quirk does at the most basic of levels. When she uses it to fight, that's when it's pretty cool, but hopefully...there won't be need for that (foreshadowing).] Okay, I'm gonna bring us down, so hang on tight, okay? Don't let go of my hand!!
[They'll still float, but, uh...she'll have to go fetch them if they do just waft about aimlessly, and that's no fun if they panic, especially Egg. But! Ochako tightens her grip and starts to move them down slowly into the dark ravine. Deeper and deeper...]
and he loves you
[ egg deep tweets in turn, and they both hold on tight! so cool! once it starts getting a little ah, dark, shoyo makes sure to switch on his headlight to lead them down. so far, just rock, and dirt, and walls— wait, walls? ]
Look! [ walls and carved floors, manmade structures and places to stick up torches along the way. a few might still have some that they could ignite to light up their path once they touch ground down below. ] A secret passage—!
gasp... (っ˘ω˘ς )
Oooh, good eye, Shoyo-san! This should be a good place to start looking around...
[And once they're close to the ground, Ochako will tell the duo to "watch your step", then touch her fingertips together and mutter the release word - which is literally just release. Her quirk deactivates on everyone and they fall the perhaps foot or so to the ground, Ochako catching herself easily and helping the other two if they weren't prepared for the landing...d-despite her warning.]
no subject
Wooahhh . . . ! [ a slight echo goes through the tunnel. so mysterious! ] Which way do we go, do you think?
[ there was going ahead, and there was going “backwards”. ]
no subject
Hm...I'm not sure. [Said absently, as she is (once again) giving Egg some pets and scritchies for being such a useful and good birdy. Lord does she miss Tokoyami and Dark Shadow, and may be projecting a little, but...sue her. Both are friend shaped, and deserve many pets. ♥] We can pick a direction and see how far it goes, then double back. I brought some things for that exact purpose.
[Ochako takes out of her pack a pad of paper and her pencil - for notes - and a medium sized box of colored chalk.]
no subject
[ that is a fantastic idea, the chalk! the notes! they were more detail-oriented tools that shoyo hadn't thought of, focused more on action-based practicalities. ]
That's great! We won't get lost that way! [ he seems genuine both impressed and surprised, and proceeds to roll his hands around to randomize a path to take. ] What about— this way? And you can write on my back!
[ he points to his back with his thumbs! ]
no subject
Mm!! I thought the same thing when I heard there might be caves and stuff underground. [A-Again...] And that works perfect, thanks, Shoyo-san! Just be very careful and watch your step, ne? I can't imagine this place is going to be easy to get through.
[Traps, monsters, puzzles... Ochako's seen movies, read books, and played video games. This sort of shit is never just a leisurely stroll.]
(1/2)
[ in that very hard work and friendship conquers all sort of spirit, shoyo gives a thumbs up before leading the way forward. egg is behind ochako and making sure to keep their flank alert to any subtle changes. the first wide-open room, with stone encasements and dusty cornerstones they come across, seems to be mostly empty. save for the dark reflections shimmering above their heads here and there. ]
Huh, the ceiling's moving—
[ shoyo points his headlight up, ]
(2/2) cw: buggy bugs that like skin
. . . I think we need to go back.
cw: bugs/insects, parasitic mentions
Eh? Wha--
[OH DEAR SWEET, GOD. Ochako was actually kind of hoping for bats? Bats would have been easier to deal with than bugs. She smacks her hands over her mouth to keep herself from screaming (or just flat out throwing up), and her stomach does a nasty somersault that makes her feel ill. That goodness for her mastery of her gag reflex, otherwise she very well may have lost her lunch all over the place, because this...this brings back some horrific memories.
There were...bugs. Insects. Beetles? Or were they bees?? Some sort of parasitic insect that built their nests, or hives, or...o-or whatever inside peoples' skin. So bad that those heavily invested lost their minds and...a-and--
Sensei...
Feeling tears well up in her eyes, Ochako forces them back and squeezes her eyes shut. No. No...don't think of that. Don't remember that. Not now. Not when she has someone to look after now.]
Slowly. [Ochako hisses in a whisper.] Mo-Move back out the room...v-very slowly...
no subject
a chittering squeak comes from the room's ceiling and ends with a crisp thock of sound against the chamber floors. thock, again. thock, thock, thock. it may seem like only that, for a couple of seconds, but the worst happens. shoyo steps in something awful enough to echo out a loud crack.
he's just stepped into a hollow exoskeleton, and his whole frame freezes from toes to the last hair on his head. ]
—Crap-!
no subject
Crack!
Sucking in a breath through her teeth, Ochako feels a full body shiver come over her as the room suddenly gets ominously quiet...and like a wave, the ceiling starts to descend on them as those hundreds of thousands of insects just dash towards the sound, and the potential threat and/or food source they've found.]
Shi--...hang on tight!!
[One swift smack to Shoyo's back, and another to Egg's arm, and a final one to her cheek, Ochako literally hauls man and beast under each arm as she removes their gravity and turns tail to springboard off the ground. A great leap, considering the springs and pads of her boots - usually meant to cushion the impact of her falls, but also great to catapult her up in a long or high jump.
And finally, a click of her heels and the rocket boosters in her metal heels burst to life to propel them all forward. She has the thrusters on full blast, so they can put some distance between themselves and those bugs ASAP.
Because they are following...and they're just as fast for how small they are.]
no subject
he never wants to see a beetle again. with his arms following suit to make sure he’s holding ochako in turn as they propelled, he turns to egg: ]
Egg! Can you hold ‘em off—?!
[ the fowl pokémon crows sharply, turns his neck and pulls in a breath— and when he exhales, he spews a stream of heat and flame to scorch the insect’s paths. it lights up the room behind them for sure, and chars the scarabs in the way to a thick crisp. ]
no subject
Ochako swallows the thick lump in her throat at the memory, using it to fuel her farther, faster away from the danger following after them at a shockingly rapid pace. She doesn't dare loosen her grip on either Shoyo or Egg, for fear of what might occur to them if the worst happens. But Egg is apparently a...phoenix?? A chicken phoenix??? Ochako only catches a bit of that flamethrower in her peripheral, but she can most certainly feel the heat of it along her back and legs. Thank goodness she's also used to this sort of thing from Todoroki, so it's not too damaging, either.]
GOOD THINKING!! If we can halt their path, they can't follow us!
[Because the more they move, twisting and turning through the maze helter-skelter like they are, the more lost they're going to get. Ochako is trying to memorize the path she's going, but she's no Yaoyorozu - not the brightest bulb in the box.]
no subject
We've got your back, Ochako! Just focus up ahead, Egg's got this! [ he knew the combusken could breathe embers, but not that big and not that hot. it was like being, literally, behind the blast of a flamethrower. it's done heavy damage to the number pursuing them, there were still stragglers; he gasps with an ah! once he sees a handful of glints speeding after them. ] Do that one more time, the biggest breath you've got! Just wait for them to get close!
[ when the time is right— boom. ]
no subject
Keep it up, Egg!! We need to find somewhere that they can't follow! Shoyo, if you see a body of water, or a ravine, let me know!! We can lose them that way!
no subject
[ shōyō has a sharp eye for quick fleeting detail; while egg is busy keeping the incoming scarabs at bay and allowing short boosts, shōyō shines his light wherever he can for ochako. front, sideways—
a chamber with sparkling floors catches his attention with a sharp gasp. he isn’t completely sure, but he still points at the dipping turn they’d have to take to get there. ]
Ochako!
no subject
[Snapping her attention to where the light is shining, Ochako grits her teeth. She's too slow to do an arc at the speed they're going without risking a crash, or slowing down and letting those horrible insects get within jumping distance of them. It's not going to be fun, what she has to do, but it's the best and fasted way to pivot in the air right now. The whiplash will be worth it, surely, because they'll still be alive.]
I see it!! Both of you, hang onto me now, and do not let me go!
[Because after jerking her arm out, one of the wired grappling hooks shoots from Ochako's wrist guard and strikes the inner wall of the opening. Sticking in hard, the wire goes taut as it swiftly yanks the three in that direction suddenly, Ochako killing the boosters for just that second of inertia so they could change direction in a fraction of an instant. She kicks them in again when they're throttling toward the new space, so they can make up that same speed.
Many of the scarabs pass them by, thankfully, but still more arc after them, still in hot pursuit, their hideous clicking mandibles and skittering legs making horrible noises in the echoey halls.]
no subject
he’s not exactly screaming, but there’s a sound coming from him. his fingers nearly slip out of grasping onto ochako, but luckily— who catches him, more durable in the face of g-force, is egg. floor it, ochako! ]
no subject
Eventually, the skittering seems to go back from whence it came, as the bugs decide it's just not worth it to even wait. The shiny surface of whatever liquid surface that is isn't one they have any desire to navigate, so they slowly retreat, and the cave grows quiet other than the sound of Ochako's boosters now softly thrumming as the three float in the air.]
We...w-we lost them... Good job, both of you!! A-Are you all okay?
