WHERE: Gemini
WHEN: 2/22
WHAT: An introduction!
WARNINGS: none that i know of! will update if that changes.

[the video opens on izuku sitting at an outdoor cafe table, with a cleffa asleep in his arms, a plusle on his shoulder, and a hawlucha wandering around behind him. he looks nervous, but excited.]

Hello! My name is Izuku Midoriya. I just got into town, and I thought I should introduce myself. I was wondering, if I could ask...

What activities would you all recommend to a first-timer to the city, to get to know the place?

[help. be his tour guide, guys.]

[Once again, a chill runs down Bakugou's spine. Rage starts boiling in his chest for no immediate reason.

Once again, he's looking around his surroundings with narrowing eyes.

Something is rotten in this city, and he's gonna find out what.]

[ the fluffy side of Snowmoon the Solgaelo all but consuming Jing Yuan as he leans upon it. ]

If you have the time you should investigate Kami State Park. They recently were gifted with majestic creatures called Dromas. I think you would enjoy them.

Dromas?

[Look at him, taking a little notebook and a pen out. It's 2026, Izuku.]

What are those? [HE'S READY TO TAKE NOTES. watch him go.] Kami... state... park...

[Riku is busy, as he always is. But at least right now he's busy at home instead of at work or at the university. So when he turns on the camera, Izuku is greeted with... two bats? That Riku is attempting to push away from the screen.]

Would you two stop already?

[He's going to just barely manage to push his noibat and komory bat aside in order to blink at the screen.]

Oh. Hey, Midoriya. [At least now he's giving up and letting his bats crowd the screen to say hello.] -- wait, when did you get here??

[He knows he's been a little too busy to keep up regular correspondence, but it hasn't been that long, has it?]

[:O!!!!!!!! he knows that noibat! he knows that silver hair! he has no fucking idea what that other thing is though.]

Sekido-san! [his penpal! oh my god it feels so nice to refer to someone PROPERLY, it feels so weird here.] I just got into town. I've moved here to study under the local POKEGO branch!

Hello, Izuku Midoriya.

Hmmm...

The city has an impressive library. However, if this is your first visit, I would also recommend the Pokemon Cafe.

[Especially since she can see that he has some kind of Pokemon with him.]

Hello! [is his voice slightly higher in that response? surely not. he wouldn't get nervous because a girl is talking to him.]

The library... [he's writing things down!] ... and a Pokemon Ca--a Pokemon Cafe? Where is that?

First thing is, buy a subway pass. You can learn more about Kaisou on public transit than you can learn in any other way.

[Such as, for example, how wonderfully weird people are, and how to lose your wallet, and (relatedly) how to need to go to the DMV on a friday afternoon. But those are details, don't worry about it.]

Second. If you leave this city without trying the pierogi, you will regret it. People will always be asking you about it, and you'll have to lie. It's an embarrassment. Third street diner has the best ones, but you gotta try a bunch so I can judge you when your favorite is from the wrong place.

Edited 2026-02-23 01:02 (UTC)

The subway! That's right, there's decent transport here... [He knows most American cities suck at that.]

Pierogi...? What are those?

Is that really how you spell it?

["izooku"...]

Oh! No, it's "Izuku" in English. I thought of the username because I just received two more Pokemon after arriving here... I'd only had one before, so I'd thought that it feels like a zoo around me...

[ .....First Bakugou, now this? He could jump over the moons of No Man's Land with how excited he is. ]

I've really missed you.
I think we kind'a fell outta touch because you left the city...

But now that you're back I have a lot of stuff to catch up with you, with!! If--...if you remember me, that is.[ Right, it's possible this Midoriya isn't his, right? Just like how Bakugou didn't remember him... ]

Edited 2026-02-23 02:36 (UTC)

[This message in particular has Izuku stumped for a minute. He doesn't know the username, but there's so much familiarity coming from the sender that he can't help but respond.]

Remember you..? Could I know your name? I've never been to the city until today, so it's a little bit confusing trying to sort through the usernames...

Welcome to Kaisou. May I refer to you as Izuku, or would you prefer Mr. Midoriya?

[One must always be polite!]

I have compiled a list of a few places I would recommend in the city depending on your personal interests. I've separated them as such and then categorized them by ticket price ranging from free entry to general admission. I've also separated out the places to eat, which has their own subsection of places who's main focus is alcoholic beverages. I did not want to assume your preferences on drinks.

[Sure enough, Izuku will be getting a list of places, in exactly that order. It's scrollable.]

...

I apologize if that is too comprehensive. If I had one recommendation, I would say Random Play is a wonderful place to stop at. They have every movie for rent you can imagine, and the store owner is a dear friend of mine.

If you would like a walk down memory lane to a time with VHS...that would be a good place to visit.

[That's a DOG. If he didn't have so many memories from that other life, he'd be shocked. Right now, he's more excited. And this person is so polite and kind!!]

Oh, Izuku is fine! That's how it's done over here, anyway! [Mr. Midoriya is his father, you see.

[But then, Izuku is receiving a gift. A glorious, wonderfully-organized, annotated list. As he scans through it, he's looking more and more excited.]

What? No, not at all! I don't think there is anything such as too comprehensive. This is perfect! And you must have spent so much time on it, too... This is really impressive, sir!

Izuku? When did you get here?

[It's the kid he tutored in English online! Aw, he's gotten better at it, that's fantastic.]

That rather depends. I do know there are seminars at Kaisou U that's open to anyone willing to stop by.

[waiiiit, he knows that username...]

... Jon? [SENPAI???]

Lemme know if you want me going with you when you wanna go check out the stable gates, Izuku. I'd be happy to go with you when I'm off work.

[Rika gives an easy grin, petting her Clodsire.]

Other than that... the Vogue's great if you've got any interest in theatre at all, Midtown Market's worth checking out, and it's probably a good idea to have a look around Blue Fish Park. Just, uh, watch out for the geese.

I'd love to do that soon, Aunt Rika! [look at him beeaaaam he's so excited] Of course, only when it's not too much trouble for you, or if someone else you trust could chaperone, but I was hoping to see Kanto sometime soon!

[But with that little selfish desire aired...]

This is the second time I've heard about Blue Fish Park, but the first I've heard of the geese... Are they mean?

omg omg HI!!! I’m Hermes There’s a video place thats really cool There’s like a million parks Oh and the best taco truck like EVER!!! What r ur friends??? Are they like Pokémon? Cause i have one too!!

Hi, Hermes!

Is the video store that Random Play place? If so, that's two vouches for it, and I hhave to go ASAP! I would also love to try food from a taco truck...

They are Pokémon! The Cleffa and Plusle are new, but the Hawlucha has been with me since I was pretty young!

Oh--you must be the new transfer from POKEGO, right? It looks like everyone else has travel destinations well in hand, so I guess I'll just say welcome to the city.

Name's Waver Velvet--you can call me Waver or Blackthorn. I'm co-admin at Cygnus Academy.

Yes, that's me! It's nice to meet you, Waver. [giving a little head bow!!!]

I think I've heard of Cygnus Academy. It's different from the university, right?

[Oh, this is one of their POKEPUPs. He feels like he got an email notification from Professor Oak about Izuku.]

Welcome to Kaisou. My name is Dan Heng, or Maple if you prefer to use our code names.

Brick Alley and Shopping Street are good places to shop or eat out at. Kami State Park is also a beautiful place, but I recommend going with someone who can help you in combat. Part of it, if not all of it, is currently outside of the barrier. It's not safe to go by yourself. I have ownership of a cabin within the forest there that I visit semi-frequently, so I am happy to be available if you'd ever like to visit.

[Hm....]

There are also Spirit Realms that are relatively safe here. I recommend taking a friend with you into the Hyrule and Kanto Spirit Realms, though. Both can be dangerous if you're not careful, but they're also beautiful sights to see.

[Oh hey this kid called Rika "aunt". Family spotted.]

You know Rika?
