[windeity]

what are you doing right now?

[parodeity]

[ DYING or more accurately kicking the tail end of his cold and coordinating what guren wants him to do. ]

composing a letter of challenge to shouto with art included
bc he loves my artwork
and does not find it terrible at all in the least
you

[windeity]

suddenly wondering about pretty much all of that.
and also some scouting.

[parodeity]

guren told me im supposed to spar with him and i have to start it off right
where are you heading off to scout
i assume you havent left yet since youre typing
and these things are like childlocked to fucking specific locations

[windeity]

you too?
who even is shouto i do not think i've met him. but ochako told me about him.
and no, i have not.
i am just looking around town and checking out some new buildings.
something keith mentioned.
there is not a lot else to do here.
other than hang out with you, which by the way why is that not a thing we are doing right this second?

[parodeity]

hes from the same place as everyone w the quirks
pretty okay kid but a little literal
helped me make an ice shack
which
i was joking about but then i felt bad when he took it seriously so we did that
and i dont know i figured you were busy ig
you know doing the social butterfly thing or whatnot
possibly having slumber parties okuyasu seems like a slumber party kind of guy
i love him
anyway
ive also admittedly been lowkey mia since the bonfire
just doing some housekeeping and what have you
i think the only people ive seen the past few days have been minato and guren

[windeity]

[Which I still need to tag re: bonfire but anyway...]

there are a lot of them here. people with quirks. izuku told me about how they work and stuff.
what did you even need an ice shack for...?
i mean i guess yeah. i have been trying to talk to people and do stuff because it's still weird that everything is quiet.
you could come with me if you want? or i can come hang out or something.

[How do you hang out with your best bro when you have no idea where the fuck he's living, a novel by John Egbert.]

[parodeity]

i have met
four of them i think
izuku momo shouto ochako
sounds about right
anyway yeah ill come along
do the backup thing
in case you poke your nose into something dagerous

[windeity]

four for me too but swap out shouto for tenya (he is one of my housemates!)
when have i ever poked my nose into something dangerous?
sounds fake.
you sure?

[parodeity]

havent met him
hows the constant slumber party going anyway
i assume youre having fun
and yeah unless you would like
prefer not
in which case i can continue my interior decorating shenanigans

[windeity]

i guess it's fine.
they're nice at least.
it has been days what the fuck are you still decorating?

[parodeity]

the walls mainly
where do you want me to meet you bro

[windeity]

the well is probably easiest.
see you in ten minutes maybe?

[parodeity]

see you in ten minutes egbert
try not to fall into the well if you get there first
although i find that unlikely at best

[windeity]

hehe. even if i did we could just fly back out. that's not the hard part.
see you in ten!

[And off he goes to wait for Dave.]

[parodeity]

[ is it waiting if dave's already perched on the edge of the well? ]

[windeity]

[Probably not. He looks a little surprised that Dave's already there, grinning before he flies closer and picks up speed a little.]

What happened to ten minutes?

[parodeity]

I allotted them to you, slowpoke.

[windeity]

Wow, thanks a lot. I could have been here way sooner than ten minutes! [No he couldn't have.] You weren't waiting that long were you?

[parodeity]

Ages. You owe me a soda.

[windeity]

Sure, I will get right on that. [He folds his arms over his chest, glancing around the town again.]

So question. What do you think the chances of our houses and laptops being bugged are?

[parodeity]

The houses ain't bugged. At least, the place I'm stayin' at isn't. [ he checked. three times. ] ...Well, they aren't unless it's using something magical I can't detect, so...? The laptops, who the fuck knows. It doesn't effectively matter when they post mostly to a public forum or you can do, I guess, private messages on that - it's safe to say that moderators can see those...? Whoever that is.

[ so like. ]

I think basically don't worry about it but assume whoever the fuck is in charge knows whatever. Why?

[windeity]

Keith. [Like that's somehow an answer and in a way it is.] Convinced we're being monitored, wanted to find a place we could have group meetings and share information that might not be tracked by whoever's watching us. It sounded like an okay idea, so that is why we are scouting.

[parodeity]

We you and me or we you and him? [ but that makes sense; keith is potentially more paranoid a motherfucker than dave. ] I personally do not find it likely we can find a place that isn't being "monitored" in whatever methodology would be used here, but like, if it keeps the dude happy. It'd be nice if it helped him relax a little.

[windeity]

We as in you and me. We are doing the scouting. I guess maybe Keith is going out and doing it on his own but I don't know. It's more for the effort than the actual effect, I think.

[You eventually just get used to being monitored, actually.]
