((Man alive, big same. I was not happy that Star and Stripe got so easily wiped off the board as basically a quick fix to AFO/Shiggy being as supremely broken in terms of power as he is. I could wax poetic about it but I'll save that for another time.))

[Dabi is smart, Ochako will give him that if she were in her right mind. Dealing with whatever Beast she may become, especially one with a certain level of control over her quirk...it'd be unwise to deal with that in close proximity. And if it mutated her quirk on top of everything else, removing the need for touch to activate... He's playing it smart by only enticing her within reason - Beasts don't tend to have the capability to differentiate between friend, foe, or anything in between. Meat is meat.

It's impressive though, Ochako's control. There's real effort being put in to keep her fingertips from touching together, sharpened teeth cutting into her lips and allowing a thing trickle of blood as she sets her jaw and growls. Growls as he comes closer, because there's a fragment of her that is still in there, that is still fighting hard. That tiny piece that can still see the true villain in front of her right now...who she'd love to rake her claws into, drag down his scarred up, blackened body, then fling him and his innards so far out to space, and--ugh...fuck...no!

Ochako stumbles forward, her hands falling onto the ground to catch herself, clawed fingers digging into the gravel and making dust and tiny pebbles start to float, but it's better than trying to force her hands apart. At least now, she's ground enough that she can breathe a little, try to get away, run, call for help...something. Being here's not smart, not when she's like this. Deku was right all along, it's better to just isolate when you're losing yourself to the Corruption, to the Evil.

When he gets close, right next to her, Ochako's head turns away from him, and her body follows, leaning away almost like a cat would when it's not wanting to be touched, or pet. But her pupils dilate into thin slits, and her body goes stiff for a half second before she paws at his arm and hisses through those sharp teeth.]


That...true?

[Seems something about a poor mother, having to fend for her children, not having enough...giving up her own meals so the little ones can eat...that resonates with the young Hero. Does he know? He wouldn't, unless he dug deep into her records, but Ochako's actually been through something similar to his story before, all her life. She's a poor girl, having had to go without proper meals for most of her life, her parents working themselves to the bone to provide for her. How many times has a young Ochako seen her mother and father stressed, tired, and barely eating a thing while she had the largest portion?

Her eyes are so wide, the pupil practically lost to the milky white as they slide up towards the poor idiot still hovering, kicking and flailing as if trying to fly his way in any direction. He's screaming and cursing, accusing Dabi of "lying through his ass" and other profanities, but she's watching him like how a lioness would a particularly nice looking carcass, his words buzzing like nothing but static. There's fury in those eyes, a deep hatred that's unmistakable as she slowly rises again.

Her eyes don't leave that wriggling worm for a second.]

[Uravity may not be as easy to rile up as Dabi thinks - she's pretty patient, after all...and deals with his type of sass all the time. She's also gotten a bit of a more level-head through her world-hopping, as well as just in general. War does tend to change a person - for better or worse.

Too bad that all those changes and her growth don't mean anything in a place like this. For as tenacious as she is, as resilient and stubborn in her fighting, there's no point. That resolve is burning away with Dabi's words, and The Evil that's wrapped around her like a shroud is hard to beat back. She gave a good effort, but in the end, it's just not enough for the spells Trench and its patron deities weave. Though once that spell ends, she's going to definitely feel the guilt and the remorse, that's for damn sure. Dabi and his videos won't help in the slightest, but she'll have to fall back on being strong-willed and enduring. Not taking his horseshit and moving on as best she can, with the support of those around her. Easier said than done, but...that's the plan, anyway.

For right now, however, it's going south fast, her growling s getting louder and deeper the more she listens and let's that blazing fury sear at the edges of her reason. The man is screaming his protests, saying he has no idea what the hell Dabi is talking about, that he's lying through his teeth, and all he did was try to steal food and trade good, like anyone else down on their luck would, but Ochako takes what Dabi says to heart - it's true, after all...those who furiously deny something are usually guilty. And she has no tolerance right now for a guilty party. Her resolve finally snaps the moment that the floating man starts spewing threats and profanities at Dabi, that whatever happens to him, he'll come back and make sure to, uh...do some pretty nasty stuff to him. Peeling off what remains of his skin like an orange is just one of the many things...]


St...op... [It's a slurred out breath, more like a hiss of words, and Ochako hunches low having finally lost her internal fight with the corruption and the Evil inside. She roars, all teeth and claw, pupils small specks of black against milky white.] I'M GOING TO STOP YOU FROM DOING ANYTHING ELSE!!

[And instead of dropping him to his death, Ochako does something far, far worse. She aims her bracer at the man and fires a wire at him, the sturdy line wrapping about his neck again like a noose and curling tight. The man's voice stops, eyes wide and tears jumping to his eyes, fingers scrambling to try and remove the thing that will inevitably mean his death. But it's not enough, because Ochako pulls on the line with all her might, and the force and speed of the motion causes a strangled sound from the poor man before his neck inevitably snaps. He's dead before he hits the ground, but the impact does indeed do even more damage. Bones split, blood spews from his mouth and nose, and the back of his skull probably caved in, too...given the increasing mess surround the mangled corpse.]

[Dabi certainly will have an entertaining video to show her later, even if Ochako will know she wasn't really herself when she did what she did. It still will haunt her for a very, very long time because it's as Dabi thinks - despite the influence, she still has the capacity and ability to hurt, to maim, to kill. It exists in every Hero, every person, and only needs a trigger to set it off. That sort of haunting realization will most definitely rattle her for a good, long while, and the reminder will most certainly upset her. Perfect ammo to pass time, considering Dabi tends to enjoy not only poking the beehive, but dousing it in gasoline and lighting it up.

Trenchies don't come back is the thing, so this man's story has permanently closed - yet another thing Dabi can lord over her if he so wishes. The deed is done and though there are a few stray twitches and jerks as his muscles spasm with the last few jolts of his brain before it finally shuts down and his life is truly extinguished for good. Thankfully (to some's perspective, anyway), that blood splattered from his nose and mouth, covering his face in grizzly red, because the face - or what's left of it from the impact - most certainly isn't a pleasant one. Nor is the wet, slippery shlorp sound of the wire retracting from around the man's neck and snapping back into place inside Ochako's bracer.

She doesn't even look back, doesn't acknowledge the bodies - alive and dead - and just turns away from it, taking a heavy and uneasy step away. Maybe to keep on this path, maybe to get away from the literal crime scene, who knows. There's nothing but the shadow of the fledgling Hero now, the only possible remorse for what she's done coming in the crimson streaks running down her eyes.

Saved...yes. She's a Hero. A Hero...who...wh-who saves...]
