 Toto was a friend.But come to think of it, the cutoff period between Mion's loss and their appearance and adoption by Shion into their life coincided with that of Shion's network of communication being terminated. Relatives and neighbors that would always visit, friends from school that he spent every afternoon with, even his own parents were redefined into the group of people he felt unwilling to confide in.There was no clear answer as to why, but perhaps it was because Shion's companion filled every emotional need he had experienced so far.Or maybe it was because he couldn't handle being truly, truly vulnerable in front of anyone besides what amounted an extension of himself."That'd depend!"He said in response to the Venetian's question, looking off towards a group of what appeared to be schoolgirls gathered in a little group, all of them looking at their phones."If a friend's someone whose feelings of appreciation to yourself are mutual, I probably have at least 4 or 5 friends about now! Jack-kun and Kupo-chan are probably who I spend the most time with!"Amidst Shion's words, Toto would shift around in Callisto's arms as if trying to find a comfortable position to rest in. Their "legs" seemed to also act as feelers of some sort, brushing across the older man's left arm like the whiskers of a cat- except there were a lot more hairs.

Shion's metaphor was answered with another example, one that definitely did more than paint a better picture of what was going on inside his head. "Anywhere can be paradise as long as you have the will to live."This quote he had heard in the past lingered in Shion's mind, though just because a problem he didn't really mean to have was resolved, didn't mean that it really put the main driver of these feelings to rest. "If. . . people were there."Not to mention that what Shion wanted to say, once again had problems being understood on the first try. Maybe being more literal with his words would help."The cold I'm stuck in isn't from the weather, it's because I can't find anyone who both can and can't see like I do."Can and can't see. From Shion's understanding, everybody had things they could and couldn't see in the world as they went about their lives- about 90% of people he knew seemed to see, hear, smell, touch, and taste the same things in life. While the remaining 10% saw things differently, and because of that interpreted the world differently. This explanation was how he tried to make sense of Mion, his sister's behavior both before and after her death.Shion had thought himself to be a part of the 90% in the beginning, but as Toto came into his life the isolation of being unable to understand and relate to other people began setting in. The deprivation of feelings this connectiveness couldn't be described by him as nothing but unfair.Recalling these thoughts, the youth opposite to the Cloud stared off into the distance. Shion's utterance of his own mental concept seemed to spiral the conversation in a direction that was a stark difference from the air Claudio was giving off."Someone like you has to see things differently from everyone else, right? Even if you and me don't see things the same, I can tell that what's in both our heads makes us. . . different."Toto. Mion. Jingu. Dragon. Brain. Eye. Tongue. Nose. Ear.
The Soul.Shion's grey matter made this connection. Connected terms with a meaning that brings them together, or just pure schizophrenia, nothing seemed to better express his thoughts any better.Thoughts that were his own, thoughts that would never be understood by possibly anybody but himself."That's why I want to ask you. Do you know this feeling? Have you lived with it all your life?"Even without the knowledge of his name, this was the Shion which spoke these words.

Shion was understandably at a slight loss when the "civilian" turned to him, only responding with hostility. The mundane truth that he didn't want to acknowledge in the moment was that you can't really help someone if they don't want to be helped. Retsu's demeanor did a good job demonstrating that cooperation wasn't always going to be easy.Wait, is that a military grade explosive?He began understanding that this woman wasn't quite the civilian she appeared to be at first."Hey! Where did you-"The interrogation through Shion's megaphone was cut short with the velocity of a heavy rock making impact with the plastic device. It flew out of his hands, quickly meeting its end as it was smashed onto the ground below. What a waste. There went all the hard work of a child laborer somewhere in the Philippines. But there was no time to think of that, both Shion and Retsu were suddenly under assault. Something that compelled him to lean forward and do a barrel roll on Toto while still in flight- some scrapes due to the projectiles may have been sustained, but nothing that left him in worse condition than before."Ugh-"
Not used to making disorienting maneuvers like that yet, Shion swallowed a gob of his own spit as he tried to get back his bearings. He'd undergone training to try and get more accustomed- but so far, all that's succeeded in doing was having him vomit out an oil drum's worth each session.Reflexively, he caught the explosive in one hand. His eyes still locked onto Retsu with apprehension- helpful or not, she was still a non-combatant with contraband items. But obviously, that was a problem to take care of afterwards. If a criminal gave Shion a weapon to save the lives of potentially up to thousands of casualties- he'd take it, especially in a situation where he had yet to be granted any official equipment of his own.Shion took one look at the explosive, before glancing back towards Retsu with a look of appreciation."An Anti-Tank Grenade. . . thanks, this might do the job!"Before the manufacturer of the explosive could question why a "witch" like him even knew what it was properly called, Shion had already blasted off, doing a vertical U-turn before straightening himself out as he gained speed. He vaulted around the giant's limbs that were as large as him, flying around it's back before spotting a familiar face.Claudio had been an equally odd, yet endearing and relatable character when Shion had met him for the first time- nothing about him seemed to have changed at all, though the youth's knowledge of him did.A strategy where he took advantage of his quirk that could be easily seen as recklessness. The ability to alter one's body on a molecular level was a notable strength indeed, evident by the act of striking from a distance- an act that Shion unfortunately didn't witness.However, such a strength could only reach stupid levels of power if the user was aware of his surroundings."KISAI! BELOW!"Shion did his best to holler across the distance between them, as he noticed the two golems shooting up towards his fellow student like projectiles from a flak gun. The worst thing that could happen right now is for the Cloud to be shot down.Following this action in a swift motion was the youth's throwing arm. Opposite to Claudio in location, now being behind the giant's head, Shion put all his strength into chucking the explosive at the enormous foe's nape after pulling the pin. Following 5 seconds, the grenade would detonate, hopefully doing some more damage as an anti-tank weapon.

"A pale dragon being killed and eaten by a ton of people. . . ?"Said the dyed-blonde man absentmindedly as he sat on one side of the messy bed, his date for tonight being on the other side as he slowly put away various belongings into a backpack. Shion had met this similarly aged man as he was kicked out of the club they were both in for his terrible skill with a guitar, apparently a one-man band as he referred to himself. To be honest to his shallow self, Shion only made advances towards him because the wannabe guitarist didn't look half bad.But that was pretty much the extent of relationships to him. Anything beyond surface-level attraction could lead to attachment, romance, vulnerability, and inevitably great pain.And that was something Shion swore off of when he connected the dots of his future for himself."But well- that's dreams for ya'. Weird shit that never makes a lick of sense."He'd beg to differ, but just because this dude was nice to him didn't mean there was any less air in his head compared to the airhead of his own. One that was still occasionally able to think.Shion walked past the half-dressed man, a peculiar absence of his best friend trailing behind the atmosphere between him and his temporary partner that was left cold after that heat which lasted for the best of an hour."I'm going now. Thanks for tonight."He said, turning around with a mostly neutral expression that looked back towards a man who was looking confused at Shion's sudden departure."H-Hey at leave me your num-"But before he could hear the end of that sentence, Shion had already put the apartment door between himself and the guitarist. Further distance was then put between the two as he took the stairs down, walking through a small parking lot that was illuminated by only a single fluorescent streetlight.Shion felt bad for doing this time and time again, but at this point his brain would lose a main source of dopamine if he just stopped. At the cost of other people's feelings, and at times his own- he was trying to enjoy life to the fullest.His life that just so happened to be limited.But just as that thought was passing his mind, Shion heard faint music reach his ears. Was it an orchestra? No, that couldn't be right. Who would be crazy enough to do something like that at 1 in the morning?Out of an ancient-looking building squeezed between two newer ones, warm light seeped through the windows and half-open back door that Shion happened to be wandering across.If I leave, I might never see this again- Should I go in?This question lingered in his mind, begging to be answered quickly due to how precious time was in this moment. For one, he could simply ignore it, go home, and get as many hours of sleep as possible- letting the memory of this sight bug him for years to come because he neglected to see what was going on.Without even considering the alternative, that thought in itself was enough to have Shion immediately go trudging towards the door. With a creak, the old door that was possibly more than a century old was opened widely enough so that he could fit in.Taking his shoes off, the youth let his passively dominant curiosity lead him by the nose towards the source of the sound.

BrRrRrRrRr-["The number you have called is not available."]"Dammit!"Whirring through the air, trying to head towards the earthen giant as fast as they could was Shion. Beneath their thighs was Toto, the alien creature that faithfully acted as their friend, quirk, and guided cruise weapon. The rider was currently cursing the shoddy cell service- this behemoth must have downed at least a few telephone poles to prevent Shion from contacting the local authorities, emergency services, anyone. With a catastrophe this massive, there were bound to be casualties who would soon turn into a statistic if nothing was done.". . ."He didn't want to admit it, but Shion felt both sad and exhilarated at the current situation. Many people were being hurt- it was objectively a horrible situation. However, it also allowed Shion to immerse themselves in the excitement partaking in a mission where they were free to use any and all quirks and equipment at their disposal.He hung in the air for a second, at a slight loss of what they could do in the moment- as a literal newbie there probably wasn't much they could do against the earthen giant. However, the screams of the crowd from below eventually reached his ears. Making Shion remember what was more important."Run this way! He's coming from the north!"Swooping down on Toto, Shion picked up a nearby megaphone dropped by a fleeing traffic officer and used the machine's amplification of his voice to help direct the fleeing civilians. He pointed towards a road that thankfully wasn't blocked by burning tires and concrete rubble- though that might change soon.The explosion from Retsu's grenade made the youth turn his head, realizing that someone already might've been fighting the monster- for better or for worse.But the person on the motorbike looked nothing like an official hero. It could simply be a civilian trying their best way to escape, or in the worst case- a vigilante."Hey! You on the bike! You're going the wrong way!"Shion yelled through the megaphone as he began flying parallel with the weapon dealer's bike. "This is a restricted area! All civilians need to evacuate!"He was basically screaming at her from two meters away through a megaphone, even though in reality she was trying to help. And probably doing more than Shion was in stopping the threat.And through all of this, the behemoth probably continued to march on. . .

Despite Sebastian's complete silence making Shion worry that he had accidentally ended his life, the foot lifting to reveal an all-too-familiar face made the unwilling perpetrator cringe internally. He hadn't forgotten what he had seen at the boat party of this man's behavior and doubted that he would ever forget it."Oh, it's you. . . "Shion said with a very obvious distaste in his voice- though that was quickly interrupted by a whistle going off, followed by a rain of soft projectiles coming towards both of them.Oh no.Panicking, Shion did the first thing that came to mind. It wasn't the most sensible or intelligent thing to do, but he was fast in making sure that it was done. Anything to stay in this training as long as possible to show he was no pushover!One of his hands grabbed Sebastian by the back of his collar, trying to yank him upwards to have the wastrel's larger frame serve as cover. Shion was at least 3 inches shorter than Sebastian, who was definitely wider than him as well. It probably wouldn't be something permanent, but better than nothing!"I don't get it! Why do you even come to training if you put in no effort at all?!"Shion asked the human shield in a rather annoyed tone, loud due to the intense noise of the machines firing off. The shield that was also the subject of what could have been argued to be aggravated assault a moment ago."Seriously, why?? You just lie there!"More than anything, Sebastian was beginning to look like the victim here. |

 The attack hit, but was blocked. For whatever reason, Jun seemed to possess the aptitude of taking on the brunt of the damage but coming out mostly unharmed. The two hits that Toto had landed in a row just now, barely left a scratch on her that wasn't psychological. Sure the pain may have been relatively bad, but could you defeat someone with pain alone? Toto didn't appear to think so- whether it was a response to Jun's resilience or irritating ability to mitigate physical hits on her, the alien seemed to go somewhat into a silent frenzy. First another swing from the other side, aimed at their other arm to maintain the pressure and keep Jun from attacking them- second were two thrusts with the handle like a rapier towards the front of her torso. Jun had yet to attack herself. . . was she simply unwilling, or trying to bait out a more favorable condition? |

[Now Playing: L'ange a contre jour]Cozy. A favorite of Shion's that was never said with words but was constantly apparent by how he carried himself at 'home', in the dormitory. Cushions, mats, tablecloths, cheap cookware, fire from the kitchen stove, and bunk beds. A dissection of Shion's gray matter would undoubtedly result in these terms and concepts being found in the chemical strands of information.Even though their time together had just started, Shion did his best to make others feel the same way when it came to coziness. Jack's chaotic and spontaneous nature didn't reveal how he was affected by this effort, but Kupo-kun definitely seemed to appreciate what he did to some level."Yep! Though, cozy definitely comes from a lot of things! Like for example, Jack and Kupo-kun's room is its own kind comfy!"Shion responded to the query by mentioning his two new roommates' living conditions- though he left out how messy it would get in there sometimes. Perhaps on purpose.His eyes followed Sadako's hand as it wrote down the next word, beginning to think of how to explain his point of view. In hindsight, Shion's explanation of the school becoming "quiet" didn't make much sense. The place was always full of people, so how would it be possible for U.A. to be quiet at the times Shion and everyone else was awake?How would he define how he truly felt, and why that specific word was chosen to describe it?"Uuuun- how can I explain it in a way you understand?"Shion's yellow eyes moved to the window, then the ceiling as he presumably put together a sentence, piece by piece, within his head.". . ."Almost half a minute of silence would pass. Perhaps awkward to Sadako, but not her "patient" who was in deep thought while air leaked out of his ears."When I'm in the same room as other people here, it starts feeling quiet even when they're talking. . . Loudly. Do you understand, Ms. Gotoh?" |

Juding by the man's physical reaction to lay his hands onto Toto and pull him in, Shion felt delighted to have someone else at least give the alien friend a chance.At the same time, Shion was unaware of his behavior being that out of the ordinary. He usually just went ahead with anything he felt in the moment, switching as need be- he was very much capable of rationality, but there wasn't much fun behind putting thought into every single action you took. In the youth's mind, you'd have to be an absolute sociopath to have that much control over yourself.[". . ."]Toto's silence, was interrupted by the movement of their many eyes that followed Callisto's face- glued to whatever expressions the punkish man had while holding the creature by its bristles. Speaking of, holding Toto definitely felt reminiscent of holding any old broom by the bristles. Not at all uncomfortable but certainly not at all soft."Eh, you've never held a cat before? Even though you look older than I do?"Shion assumed that the older the person was, the more opportunities they had for experiences in life, which usually meant more experiences in total since many were forced to deal with things at some point or another. Despite his own preference for alien invertebrates, Shion had experiences cuddling both cats and dogs.Actually, what really was Toto? "Hmmmmmm-" Shion made a face as if he were thinking hard in response to the man's inquiry about the friend.He had tried a few times before to figure it out, cross-referencing Toto's sedentary form with that of encyclopedias in the library. However, the process of researching would make his head hurt- and then he'd move on to read more entertaining novels by the likes of Agatha Christie and Gustave Flaubert. Madame Bovary was a favorite of his since high school."Well, he's not a mammal. There weren't any nipples I could find anywhere!" Shion said matter-of-factly while continuing to do a sort of "thinking man" pose with his hands. "I guess the closest match I could find for them was starfish and bugs- but I don't really feel okay calling Toto either of those."Though, he seemed to come to an answer at the end. One that made him put his finger up with a smile."Ah, that's right! I call them friend!"Whether he was comically missing the point or not, this conclusion was more than satisfactory for Shion. |

Claudio was spot-on with what he had "done" to Shion. Something that shocked the recipient to the point that he turned around and looked at the odd person for a second."Y-You. . . "How did you know?The cloud-boy's second sentence perplexed Shion further, but in a moment it actually had the opposite effect of calming him down and allowed him to approach the situation more level-headedly."Pff- haha!"Breaking into laughter, the effeminate youth leaned back on both of his arms stretched back behind him. The absurdity of the fact that Claudio was spot-on for the first guess, only to miss horribly on the second one, was enough to appear extremely silly to Shion."Wrong, wrong! But I could assume the same about you, y'know! You have friends, right? You look like a funny guy!"Though Shion didn't visibly fit into an archetype barring the obvious "girly crossdresser", Claudio was an entirely different case. His "design" or rather his natural appearance seemed to physically yell at you to focus onto him. His thin wispy hair, massive eyes, and Cheshire grin all made him out to be someone full of that rare, unbridled silliness. More than anyone else, he would have been the comic relief.And a friend who would definitely be wanted for new beginnings.Shion was definitely in the middle of one, it being the perfect season to represent it. The months for academic initiation, coming-of-age ceremonies, and graduation were all crammed into the three months of spring. But Claudio was correct, new beginnings could happen at any time of the year without fail. Why, Shion's own decision to move away years ago happened in autumn. Arguably his most favorite season.He turned to the side once again to look at the sight outside."I. . . don't know."Shion replied absentmindedly to Claudio's question, unsure about whether his comment of the outdoors really went that deep.Though, a wandering thought that he had just realized, managed to escape his lips."It's weird- everyone goes through all these seasons, but it's as if my head's stuck in the cold. What does the beauty feel like to you?"

RSVP! GET ME INTO THAT MAD TEA PARTY!Character(s) Involved: Shion UtsuiLighthearted - Horror: I'd say quite spooky, not in the way that it directly threatens Shion, but rather the world around him as a whole. It would also involve stuff and people from his past while also trying to look into the future, on which I can elaborate if you dm me. Lucidity: Shion would have a vague awareness that this is a vision but feel grounded enough to the point that he's forced to take it seriously. Lost in the sauce: Lost to the point that they'd probably 'wake up' at one point in the middle, only to realize they're still in a dream. Through the looking glass: YESYESYES LET HIM SEE ALLLLL OF IT Dealer's Choice?: I'd love to talk it over with you, since I have ideas of my own but would also like to hear what you have in mind. Spill the tea: Shion's quirk is something that's actually shared through their family, and someone close to them actually passed away due to an uncontrolled 'evolution' of the power that turned them into "something else". In this dream, Shion would come face-to-face with seemingly a ghost of this person when they were still human, and talk to them of the current state of the world. The theme would generally be melancholic, discussing themes like human death, how quirks have (or haven't) changed the world, and nuclear war together with the eventual apocalypse. Anything else?: I was looking for an opportunity like this! Thank you for setting this up!

[Now Playing: Soiree des au revoires]Huff, huff-Running into the premises of the interior training room, friend in hand, was Shion. He would have been late if it hadn't been for his quirk and the resultant ability for him to avoid having to navigate across the university on the ground, but what mattered was that he had made it on time. In the future, he would definitely look into getting a proper alarm clock."Sorry! Excuse me!"The androgynous person in Japanese wear, not looking unlike a maid, pushed through the other students to reach their designated spot. This was their first "mission" of sorts involving active training by the faculty- it understandable made Shion more than a little nervous, as he didn't even really know what this exercise was going to entail.But being stuck in your own head comes at the cost of not noticing your surroundings as well. In his rush to get to where he needed to be, Shion neglected to keep watch of where he was stepping, inadvertently leading to a sudden-SmooshAssuming Sebastian neglected to really move at all due to his relaxed state, the sole of Shion's shoe would have run directly over the man's face, putting all of the latter's 50 kilograms onto it. The unwitting perpetrator didn't seem to notice something was off until the deed had already been done, not realizing the full gravity of the situation until he looked directly downwards."Ew, I think I stepped in- Oh! Oh no, are you okay?"Shion tried to lift his foot off wherever he had stepped, hoping that whatever person he had made contact with wouldn't be the sticky kind of that would be hard to get off his shoe. Apologetic, a part of him worried intensely if he had injured one of his own peers to the point of unconsciousness.And throughout all this, the alien creature that was always in Shion's arms remained motionless, completely unmoving and mute- staring off into space. |

[Now Playing: Lounge]Claudio's laughing demeanor filled the room as the newcomer's stare stayed on him like stone for what seemed like forever. Shion was clearly thinking on how to approach the situation he found himself, unsure if what he was experiencing in the moment was- well, real at all.Shion glanced back to the corridor outside. Though there should have been chatter from the other rooms next to the one he was unexpectedly sharing with a Brazilian, none could be really heard at all. Claudio's words which seemed to blow past him like wind deafened anything that could be. . . external. Which made it possible that the culprit wasn't the obvious individual in front of him.The door to the room closed, but not before Shion entered. Seemingly willing to entertain Claudio's company for today. But unlike every other situation he had been in, that upbeat aura that seemed to surround him didn't seem to be anywhere right now. Every step that he took towards the other end of the low table showed the body language of someone who thought they were alone; Shion almost seemed a tad lethargic once he sat down.And during this whole time, not a single word was spoken to Claudio despite his attempt to be friendly. It was only after Shion set his small bag down that he even seemed to acknowledge the other person's existence."You're real, aren't you?"The person with red hair, more grounded and straight compared to Claudio's "up there" look- sat with both of their legs bent to one side as he looked straight into the young adult's cartoonish face, the bare traces of a smile present."You're real. And you're not like anyone else."This statement could have meant anything. And equally ambiguous was Shion's state of mind. Judging by how he was acting, it would have been reasonable to assume that he was under the influence of some illicit substance, some external factor that made him behave oddly."I don't even know who you are- but I already feel like I don't have to be the way I always am today."Shion looked off to the side, towards the flowering Sakura tree that overlooked the pond full of colorful fish. The fallen petals that covered the water would eventually rot and brown, but in the present, they were quite beautiful."It's a good day out there, isn't it?" |

The alien didn't exactly miss, but Jun's reflexes were definitely something to take note of. A direct attack had resulted in only minor damage, if it could even be called that- Any ordinary person would stagger at least a little from being hit by a rod! It was unknown what went on inside of Toto's mind, if they even had one in the first place. Though, if they had a thinking process like a human, it would have obviously decided to take advantage of their opponent's confusion by keeping up the assault. Right after "missing" Jun, the creature stopped dead in their tracks midair, immediately changing their direction to go straight backwards towards Jun without moving any part of its body. This course of action could have resulted in movement that was unexpectedly quick for Jun. As Toto had no proper "front" or "back", they didn't have to turn their body in a specific direction to have proper orientation. As the alien quickly closed the distance between them, it finally moved their body in some way mid-air. A sideways swing with the brush portion of their body being the base, which meant the handle was quickly moving to hit Jun on the left side of her torso. |

Today was a little different.In this place, no one really knew Shion. And the chances they would recognize him were slimmer, considering his more casual sense of dress. Since he was here to relax and do what he wanted, the youth chose to wear an ordinary t-shirt and shorts that he had gotten second-hand a few years ago.Not to mention, his behavior wouldn't be as monitored."You get off work at five? How far is that from Ni-chōme? Ooh, good! Lemme add you, I'll text you when I'm there!"In the nearly empty lobby of the building, Shion was chatting it up with one of the male employees who was very clearly taking an abrupt break from cleaning the floor, his mop being set against the wall as the two of them were engrossed in planning over their two smartphone screens. Obviously, there weren't any prohibitions on interacting with outsiders for UA students- but understandably a lot of people would want to keep their privacy with certain affairs."Sir, would you like a room?"Shion and the man almost jumped as the returning female employee addressed the former, standing at the reception desk with a disappointed, yet simultaneously judging stare of a passive nature. "U-uhm-" Shion struggled to find a suitable set of words to return while the employee he had been talking to grabbed the mop and pretended to not be involved at all, slightly red in the face as he went back to work."Yeah, I'd like a room." Was all he could say as he walked up to the reception desk, rather warily from the embarrassment."Room #4, down the hallway to your left." The woman said candidly, not seeing the need to show Shion the way due to his clear lack of an accent and more average demeanor."T-thank you." Shion said before quickly making his way out of the lobby and from the presence of the two employees.With him gone, the male employee tried to explain to his co-worker, turning around weakly."Sa- Sawa. . . ""Get me something from Famima and I won't talk about this to Manager Ishida.""Urk!"Meanwhile, Shion was feeling a complicated mix of happiness and disappointment. He made a new "friend", but they did. . . sort of get spotted. Hopefully the poor guy doesn't lose his job.1- 2- 3-#4, there it was.Gripping the shallow handle with his small fingers, Shion opened the sliding door. Expecting to see an empty room.But instead, there was someone already there.". . ."
Who the hell was this guy? Why was he covered in scars? Why was he sitting like. . . that? What was up with his hair?
The second uncomfortable silence of the day ensued as Shion looked down in silence at Claudio, debating on whether or not he should close the door to save face while he still can. |
