She is! She's very active and friendly (to non threats of course!)
Eyes darting all over the young man- as he tries to evaluate the extent of the damage.- His breathing is ragged could his...- Kage's ear twitch up amd back as quiet footsteps appear to be fast approaching. --is he returning? The forbidden blood begins to rage. Megumi clutches his ears as the voices seem to drill into his head.]
Hurry!
He's Coming!!
[ Bouncing off the inside of his skull, they seem to be spiraling throughout his mind as the perpetrator returns to the scene of the crime. ]
Do Something!!!
[ Sixth sense. A chilling spine tingling sensation begins to creep up Megumi's back. Heart beats faster-we are at a clear disadvantage- and almost involuntarily he grabs on to Shouto's shoulders yanking him back towards the thick undergrowth. (It's gonna hurt but it's better then being shot at.)]
She's adorable! Her and Kizu need to meet!
Who's coming?
[ He tries to look around but the movement blurs his vision, so he stops. He needs a moment, but they don't have a moment, and Megumi is panicking. Do something! ]
Where are they?!
[ He shakes off the dredges of vertigo and tries to look for the incoming attack when he's yanked by the shoulder. He hisses but doesn't lash out, moving with Megumi as best he can using him as an anchor with the world spinning around him. With no idea where he's going or what's attacking, he lets Megumi take the lead and focuses on keeping up trying to ignore the jolt of pain with every step he takes. ]
Thank you! I love Kizu's design and I totally want them to meet
The spectral voices swell and rise up in a thunderous resonating chorus.]
He's here, the boogeyman!
[ Adrenaline courses through his veins.]
Get down!
[ Megumi barks out this order as his body seems to react out of pure
piss and vinegarintuition.Dropping his unoccupied shoulder, Megumi's hips pivot towards the huntsman as his free hand swings and chops the barrel sending-the shot meant for him- askew whizzing just past the injured hero's head.
As if on cue, Kage leaps forward, sinking her teeth into the soft flesh of the hunter's arm. Her jaw deadlocks, like a vise grip, as her head thrashes from side to side. Teeth completely bared, as saliva flies in every direction. The canin's eye teeth crunch completely down to the bone sounding like a raw carrot being bitten into.
The smell of fresh gunpowder and iron hang heavy in the air.]
Thank you! And yes! Soon!!!
He rolls back onto his knees - still holding his side - just in time to see the wolf snap her teeth into the Huntsman, and the sound of bone-crunching under the powerful jaw of a predator makes him jolt into action. ]
Out of the way!
[ Slamming his right hand on the ground, a wall of ice bursts forth sailing across the distance slamming into the hunter sending him flying while putting a wall between them. ]
no subject
Two dilated eyes look towards Shouto.- he was in rough shape before and that was a large attack-]
Take a few minutes for yourself. It's looks like you've been through a lot. [His voice even toned with a hint of concern for his ally.
A moment passes allowing Kage to shift back out of the darkness. Her large moon eyes stare up at Megumi. Reaching into his pocket, he retrieves and tosses a treat size morsel of deer jerky. She jumps up catching the tidbit and snaps it up happily. If it wasn't for the situation they were in the scene looks much like a boy and his dog.
In reality this was an exceptionally fed up teen covered in blood feeding his wolf.His eyes shift towards the direction of the hostile. Squinting but ultimately unable to discern the position and condition of the huntsman.With no verbal communication Kage understands she must investigate the state of the enemy.
Facing away from Shouto, he gets another good look at the spilled blood. He clenches his fists and grits his teeth.
no subject
Who was that?
[ Walking up to Megumi's side, Todoroki follows his eyes and spots the blood - No good - and freezes it on the spot before it can corrupt the forest. ]
Did it get on your omen?
[ Does blood corrupt omens? ]
no subject
He [using the word very loosely ] is a hunter of hunters and a threat to the innocent animals and sleepers of this jungle.
Look [ he points to the carcass of the juvenile rhino. ] this is what he's been doing. Listen [ he pauses and puts his hand to his ear ] Can't you hear their voices? He takes joy in what he does.[ Megumi's face grimaces at the thought of his first time actually seeing huntsman. ]
She's fine, [ the majority of the blood has fallen to the ground ]. She eats all sorts of things.
no subject
We won't be denied! Murderer. Killer. Butcher! BUTCHER! BUTCHER!
Repugnance and fear arise from the cries of outrage. Descriptions come next. Every sordid detail laid bare in stark clarity. He grimaces, wanting to look away from the dead yet unwilling to ignore the glittering blood laced with the condemnation of the dead.
Before he can answer him, question, take stock of his own thoughts the wall explodes in a shower of ice, sending the foundation crumbling to the ground as the Huntsman continues his game. ]
I got your email after I sent the other! Sorry!
And here I thought, you'd both be a quick kill? [ He cocks the barrel of his gun before pointing it towards Megumi. ] One hiding in the bushes shaking like a leaf. [ He swings the gun towards Shouto. ] And the other completely exposed surfing the sky.
Just two more lost children, I can use as target practice. [ He then points the gun upwards. Bang!- A loud distressed avian call followed by a Crimson topaz parrot plummeting to the ground. He approaches the bird, plucking a single feather and adding it to his cap. Never once does he take his eyes off his quarry. Glittery blood begins to pour from the poor creature's chest. ]
Two more feathers in my cap if you will. [ His eyebrows raise as a wickedly distorted smile carves into his face.
Blood surges in Megumi's vain just listening to this man's- no that's not right, this monster's callous disregard for life. A blue shadowy aura emits from his body. ]
Kage now! [ The onyx she wolf pounces savagely down from behind biting into his shoulder with another one of her famous death grips. This causes the huntsman gun to aim back up towards the sky-
he, no it's off balance!!The distractions are just enough for him to make a quick hand sign, as pitch black jack rabbits leap out from the umbra scattering in all different directions. Amid all the chaos he is able to gain some advantage as he steps out of sight and into the shadows. ]
No worries! thanks for the heads up!
Perched atop a slab of ice, he stands above them in utter superiority swinging his weapon of choice from one to the other, deciding who to kill first.
Todoroki glares, blood boiling. When the shot rings out, leaves rain down; another life cut short. BUTCHER! The roar of voices starts up, yelling over each other. Sound everywhere. Megumi takes a stance and Todoroki mirrors him. Blood drips down his fingers - corruption taking root.
Kage now! ]
Kizu!
[ She explodes from his chest at a full run leaping into the fray. The snow leopard joins the wolf harboring his anger. Smashes into the Hunter. Ripes and claws into flesh, splintering bone. Payment for the dead. Together, they topple the monster to the ground lapsing into savagery, while Todoroki looks on, filled with anger and primal curiosity. ]
Megumi must analyze what's happening sorry for the mini tldr!!
The duo thrash and ravage his body, as chunks of flesh pour obscene amounts of blood onto the floor of the canopy. - with that much blood loss he should be gone,so why is Kage and the snow leopard still attacking??
This question catches him and prevents him from further being swept up in the moment of retribution for all those murders. Megumi's training in controlling and channeling his emotions into productive means kicks in and gives him a moment of clarity.
How exactly can an elderly man take that kind of damage and still be alive???
Yes this is the Trench, but logic should be applicable even in the hell hole!His arms moved with such ease swinging that gun around as if he hadn't just been mauled by a wolf, and the amount of blood that's spilled is at least, no if not more than the average amount (1.5 L to be exact) found in an adult body.- this just doesn't add up unless...
Megumi's demeanor shifts as his shoulders drop from his attack ready stance. He shoots a critical glance over the bloody scene, hoping to be able to discern the enemy's current condition. ]
Kage, hold.
[ On command she stops her attack and keeps the huntsman pinned under her large frame.]
no worries! sorry for going mia for a week! easter was a busy!
Megumi calls back his omen, and Todoroki does the same only Kizu doesn't listen, snarling at the Hunter and snapping down on the hand holding the rifle, drawing blood. ]
No problem! I understand, I was pretty busy too!!
His eyes narrow and trace the mess of carnage before him. Just under Kage's massive paw, inside an open gash, tiny fibers of tissue and muscle begin to web together. A jagged bloody edge of skin reaches out sprouting and grow towards nearby ripped flesh. Much like the way a flower reaches towards sunlight, the skin extends making contact with other damaged pieces. Once the two connect, coagulated blood acts as a stitch binding the two together, becoming one cohesive part. All of these actions happen on a macro and micro level.
Megumi's eyes stop abruptly. Underneath Kizu's bite the skin remains torn, bloody and most importantly damaged .So there is a limit to his regeneration.]
We can't let him get up!
[There is a subtle warning tone in his voice as he motions for Shouto to come towards the scene.]
no subject
Instead, a wall of ice snaps forward from the tips of his fingers generating at a rapid pace encasing the rifle in ice and driving it away in a skyward trajectory of twisting blue a kilometer above the canopy in less than a few seconds.
Todoroki lets out a misty breath, Kizu in his mind, finally filling him in on the regeneration powers that closely resemble that of one of the Nomu's from his world. So much so that the small moment of leniency has the same hand generating on the spot and grabbing the omen by the throat and tossing her aside like ragdoll. ]
Kizu!
[ He stays his ground, feeling his omen in his mind. Calm like an arctic tundra as she gets back to her feet, back arching in defiance before she snaps forward to resume the attack. ]
no subject
As the icy wind whisks the gun far from reach, Megumi dips down into his own darkness.
Suddenly a tall wispy reaper figure appears to come out of the very ground behind the huntsman.In his hand a piercing raven sheen blade veiled in a deathly aura rises up through the air.
It's only fair.
Slamming down with great speed and complete resolve. One swift motion separates tissue from bone and head from neck. Grabbing the head by the hair and sending it soaring through the night over the two large carnivores.
Smash
It hits a nearby tree with a heavy thud rolling a short distance before stopping close to Shouto's feet. The man's expression is still burned into his skull. A fake deranged clown smile plastered to his cheeks is partially covered up by a mustache caked with matted blood, still warm to the touch. Crazed pale blue bloodshot eyes stare up with an unmistakable blood lust. It's so intense it's almost contagious. ]
no subject
He stiffens, eyes wide with horror at the sight of the headless hunter, he doesn't even notice what's happening with Megumi. Unused to this level of violence, the young hero's thoughts go into disarray prompting Kizu to snarl and come charging forward using her great bulk to push him away from the blood. She snaps her jaws at the smirking hunter, biting down hard on his head and flinging it back into the jungle. Todoroki watches it go out of sight, and feels his limbs go weak at the sight but remains upright. Kizu is there within seconds, and he lets his fingers grab at her great coat, using her presence to leverage his thoughts back into a semblance of order without breaking down. ]
no subject
[The body continues to involuntarily twitch and spasm. Puncture holes and gashes attempt to heal as bits of the neck flesh reach upward trying to connect to a head that's no longer attached.
Stained in blood, the thick smell of iron is nauesating. His pupils constrict as a guttural sound sends a gush of hot stomach acid into his mouth. Not wanting to vomit directly on the body, he spins around and crouches down. One after another, relentless waves of retches only stopping because of a lack of substance and excruciating abdominal fatigue.
Turning around is impossible because that corpse makes everything all too real. The transgression is laid out. There's no taking it back and nothing to hide behind.
Out here it's live or be killed.
Taking responsibility feels like the weight of the entire ocean crashing down. Suffocating . But he would be damned first before ever giving this burden away.
His eyes glaze over. Rapid gasps of air fill his lungs making his heart pound and vision blur. A cold sweat pastes his bangs on to his clammy forehead.
Why does it feel so wrong to do what's right?]
no subject
Heroes are supposed to save people. They don't kill. Not like this. With intent.
He keeps himself together, holding onto Kizu for strength as he tries to rid himself of the image of that severed head at his feet. But his reaction is nothing compared to-- ]
Megumi!
[ Fear spikes his adrenaline, giving him strength enough to reach his side. He skids down to his side. An arm goes around his back to keep him steady as he empties the contents of his stomach on the ground. He holds on to him, making sure he doesn't topple forward onto his own vomit. ]
Megumi. Are you okay?
[ He wipes the bile off his mouth with the back of his hand, mismatched eyes looking frantic for the first time since they've met. ]
no subject
Digging his nails into the dirt desperately trying to ground his breathing and quiet his spinning mind.
The touch to his face comes as a complete surprise.
Why is he being kind to me after that?
The gesture reassures Megumi that Shouto wouldn't have been able to kill this opponent.
It's not that he wanted to do, it's that he had to.
Thoughts of the past flood his mind's eye. A menacing smile, sharp claw-like nails plunge into Itdori's chest, ripping his still beating heart from his body and tossing it aside like garbage. A giant gaping guilty hole stares back.
Too many of his classmates never coming back from missions with no explanation. Most of the adults don't care that they are being sent to slaughter. Eager to exploit and dump when they are no longer of use. Needless to say, he is tired of people dying unjustly.
Snapping his head towards Shouto looking directly into his eyes. He sees the panicked look and feels responsible.
He is absolutely not okay.]
I'm fine. [His voice hoarse and low.
He swallows and then casts his eyes back to the ground unable to keep eye contact. Shouto's expression, forces him to concentrate on reeling his mind back in an attempt to calm down. He takes measured breathes.]
Are you alright?
[He still can't make eye contact with him and his voice is ragged but sincere.].
no subject
I'm not the one who threw up.
[ You aren't fooling him! Now sit there and let him take care of you!
Unclipping one of his empty canisters from his belt, Todoroki uses his right to fill it with ice and his left to liquify it to room temperature. When he's done, he hands Megumi the canister of water. ]
Wash your mouth with this and take a drink. You vomited bile. You need to wash down the acid.
Thatsagreat icon I need more like that! Sory for late edit I realized I didn't copyover completetag
Somebody send help°°°
[Every time he swallows, his throat lights on fire while tasting metallic and extremely bitter. He chooses not to say anything. (He knows better than to argue, especially when he has been called out and really does need the help!) Trying to stay present in the moment
and get out of his head, two green eyes wander and watch as Shouto fills the canister. Smart using the ice to make water. Honestly, water sounds absolutely amazing right now.Wait he just used ice like it was second nature in battle but he had to have just heated that bottle up somehow?? Not able to recall him using any fire or heat sourced techniques during the fight, he assumes he decided not to given the landscape. That's logical
Bowing his head slightly to show
gratitude.]
Thank you
[He takes the canister. First swishing and rinsing his mouth before taking that full on much needed chug. At the end of it, he finally gets the chance to catch his breath.
Which means time to move except not really.He stubbornly attempts to get up and take a few shakey steps forward, furthering himself from the stench of his sickness and the body. He doesn't make it very far and sits back down. It's not much of a distance but it's better than being on top of all of that. He thinks for a moment while looking at the empty canister.]That was clever. Are you a cold blood?
[Having done a lot of research on the blood types has made him eager to meet other cold bloods and blood types in general. He is terrible at actually using his blood abilities except by accident and is curious to know how others handle their new powers.
Also anything to take the conversation away from the current events. He shouldn't and he knows better than that but he will still try. ]
CW: mentions of child abuse | Hahah! Thank god I passed out before I hit this up this morning!
There's no running away from me and no running away from yourself. Stand! Don't be so damn soft!!
No older than five, he didn't always have enough strength to keep himself from falling on his own vomit. Seeing Megumi in that state, self-imposed no less, triggers memories from his past agitating his omen who prowls at the edge of the clearing where the head disappeared.
A professional, Shouto keeps his head focused on helping Megumi than rebuking him. It's not the first time something from his hero work has triggered him. He knows how to keep himself in check. No longer worried for him, his expression settles back into its trademark neutrality.
There's no verbal acknowledgment of the gratitude just a simple nod as he hands over the water. When Megumi gets up, Shouto lets him go without interference unsure if his help would be welcome. He understands the need to get away from the stench and doesn't fault him for it. ]
Paleblood.
[ He corrects for the second time this month. He understands the confusion given his quirk but his blood doesn't freeze when exposed to air, it glows a luminous pale color. ]
What did you do back there? [ He follows up, not easily led astray. ] That wasn't blood magic.
[ Half a year in Trench and he's never seen anything like that. Working with other Hunters, he knows the mechanics of blood in this world and that was wholly unique unlike his quirk, it was easy to distinguish it from the blood magic of this world. ]
no subject
"What did you do back there"
Kill. It's what I had to do.]
It's a cursed technique that was passed down through my bloodline.
[There is a sober quality to his voice.
When he hears these words out loud, a very real realization hits him. He's never had anyone, here in the Trench, ask him about himself, nor has he divulged any personal information to anyone. Sure he's interacted with quite a few different faces in a variety of circumstances but never more than formalities before returning to his campsite.
Having a habit of being secretive because it feels so safe but at the same time extremely isolating. Aware of the fact that it stunts growth. Constantly setting up barriers in an effort to avoid making different connections for fear of being hurt or worse losing them. It's a tiring endeavor.
That familiar emotion
lonelinesspings Kage who has never left the huntsman's body. Her motherly instincts kick into gear. The she wolf looks up at Shouto, two large moon eyes holding a hint of melancholy before gently going over to Megumi's side.Met by a warm pink tongue on his cheek followed by a nudging muzzle to his arm. She's always there for him especially in these moments. This is her way of expressing comfort. And it doesn't go unnoticed. Megumi pushes his face into her thick plush coat before finally turning his head towards Shouto. ]
I'm a shaman... [he hesitates can i really trust...] and what I just used is shadow sorcery.
no subject
A cursed technique... passed down through his bloodline. Like his mother's ice and his father's fire. Only, it doesn't change. The image of Midoriya comes to mind. One for All. All-Might's quirk passed down to his friend, unchanged. Viewed through a familiar lens he begins to understand.
The wolf turns to him, and Shouto finds himself staring into two large moon eyes so different from his omen, yet it feels familiar. He watches the wolf go to Megumi's side, offering comfort the same way Kizu sometimes did and sees the easy way he accepts it before turning to him.
Originating from a completely different world, the admission doesn't hold the same impact as he feels it should. He's missing context. Still, he knows it's important. Otherwise, Megumi wouldn't have reacted the way he did. Decapitation (he still shudders at the image of that head rolling on the ground) followed by a violent reaction against the very act. He doesn't need context to understand that. He hated his own fire for years loathed to hold the same quirk as his father... only it wasn't the same. ]
You don't like it... Do you?
no subject
His lips flatline as his head shakes from side to side. ]
No.. not always. But it's selfish to think about what you like when people's lives depend on you.
[Eyes wonder back towards the ground as if lost in thought. Subconsciously continuing to pet Kage who hasn't taken her eyes off of his face.
A young girl no more then seven years old appears behind his eyes. Her smile is so angelic and pure, exuding an aura of goodness. There's not a mean bone in her body.
Will Tsumiki be happy? My answer depends on that.
[She will] Absolutely not.
A quick head nod confirming he does in fact still believe that good people need to be saved. Looking back up to his ally.]
It's my responsibility to fight for those who can't protect themselves, and something I take very seriously.
[The conviction in his voice and statment is a testament to his resolve, yet his eyes contine to betray him, holding on to mixed emotions that are still being processed.)
