Who: Izuku Midoriya, Tsubomi Kido, Shouto Todoroki, you
What: Prayer 15
When: Afternoon of April 26th
Where: The near shore
Warnings: None

[So they spent the rest of the night after the sakura party and fire inside. Izuku was pretty sure the other gods and shinki could handle it, but he needed to take care of his own.

They seem stable enough today though, and there was a prayer somebody left him. "No one's stopped by my store in weeks! If I don't get more customers soon, I'm going to have to close down." it said, and he figured that wouldn't be too hard. Just get some new customers, right?

And that's how Team Aidos ended up dressed up in a cosplay cafe, handing out flyers and looking varying degrees of embarrassed.]

Comments

Izuku

[fullcowl]

[None of them are quite as embarrassed as Izuku. Both Shouto and Kido got away with the very classy suits of a butler. Unfortnuately after the sixth time Izuku completely failed to tie his tie properly the owner looked at him and handed him a maid costume. There was an attempt to straighten out his hair, but it failed pretty miserably, and he was given a frilly headband to complete the look.

He... he supposes it's for a good cause, but it's not exactly something he'd wear normally. There are so many bows and ribbons, and the dress is so short-

He'll attempt to smile through the embarrassment as he hands out the flyers. But there's still, very clearly, a blush on his face.]

Please consider visiting the café!

[savioring]

[Lightning decides exploration is a must after last night and she's actually quite surprised to find this city isn't as backwater as she thought it would be. There's a decent amount of things she can do here. Including stopping and staring curiously at a kid who just handed her a flyer.]

.... aren't maids supposed to be cute?

[And girls? Is this some kind of fetish cafe?]

[fullcowl]

[Wow. Rude.

Izuku turns bright red and holds the rest of the flyers up to his face to try and block off his blush.]

S-Sorry... The store manager asked me to wear this and give these out. Apparently he hasn't run advertisements in a while...

[birdstheword]

[Hajime's spirits have lifted a little. She had, for the most part, missed the sakura party. It was great to have new faces and people to meet but for once she felt that staying home would be better.

Not today though! She's out and about, wondering around again. Which is good considering what she spots. Deku in a frilly maid outfit, smiling and passing out flyers]

. . . . .~!

[She just going to take her phone now, lift it up and take a picture.]

[fullcowl]

[He was doing this on the assumption that nobody he knew, other than his shinki, was going to find him. Especially now that the owner's dressed him up in cat ears, a bell and a tail.

Somehow the world seems to have conspired against him- when he hears the tell tale click of a phone camera he pales immediately. Then he looks over, hopeful that maybe he imagined it.

He didn't.]

Ha-Hajime?!

[missingache]

[After talking with Kido, Roxas is rather curious. He looks for Izuku, and sure enough, there he is in a maid outfit. Roxas feels kind of bad, but at least it's not being stuck as a girl. Maid outfit is much tamer.

With a sheepish smile he waves at Izuku.]

H-Hey!

[fullcowl]

[He's in the middle of passing out a flier to a girl who compliments him on the cat ears. Has he ever been so embarrassed in his life?

He looks over and winces when he recognizes Roxas. The smile is definitely wavering.]

... Hey...

[sonofson]

[Because first meeting someone in a dress is the best way to meet someone]

Are you okay? Your face is super red, miss!

[Goten stares up at him curiously. Deku sorta looks like a werid girl in that maid outfit, and why would a boy wear that? So it's only logical to assume Deku is a girl. ]

[fullcowl]

[Is this better or worse than being told he's not cute? Or maybe they're equally as embarrassing.]

I'm... I'm fine. I'm a guy.

The owner asked me to wear this while I handed out flyers.

[icyhot]

[ Originally, Shouto was coming over to check on Izuku. See if they could maybe consider their job done soon.

... instead, he finds him with the cat ears and the bell collar, and he can only stare at him for a very, very long second before he walks over to him and reaches out. There's no hesitation in the way he jingles the bell on the collar, although he's certainly bemused. ]

What's with this?

[fullcowl]

[He's busy giving the flyers out to some girls who just walked by- at least they probably won't remember him specifically in a little bit?

He sighs and closes his eyes for a moment, and that's why he doesn't notice Shouto coming up to jingle the bell. As soon as he does though, his eyes are wide and he's jumping back, arms around his face like it'll do anything to block his blush.]

Wh- To-Todoroki-?!

[Wasn't he busy- or at least on a different corner?

He's not sure if he's ever going to forget about this embarrassment. It was okay, maybe when it was just random people who wouldn't remember him in a days time- but Todoroki's his friend and his partner and he lives with him now. How's he supposed to look at him without remembering this?]

have my sleepy teal deer

[explodokill]

[ There is only one voice in his world, in the next world, and in every theoretical permutation of worlds, that makes his blood boil to such a degree. There is only one face that summons unmitigated frustration and rage, one ring to rule them all...

Deku.

Deku.

There had been no answers after the cherry blossom-viewing. There were no indications that this was a world created by a Quirk, or that others in it even came from the same place or time. So why, then? Why would Deku, of all people, be the first one he should set eyes on as he walks past the cafe? Why should Deku be the first person he hears?

Bakugou doesn't have to ask (and, quite frankly, almost doesn't want to ask) about the maid uniform. This had to be the real Izuku, because nobody else could make him want to punch that smile off their face so effortlessly.

He just wants to know, slamming a hand against the building and trying to box Izuku in-- ]

Why?!

[ Yelling so loud he'll drive customers away? Or yelling so much that he'll drive them inside to escape? Ho ho, found you a new tactic. ]

[fullcowl]

[Oh. Oh man, that's a face and a voice Izuku'll never forget. Childhood friends turned into rivals of a sort. But this time... it seems like Kacchan's remembers him, memories are probably completely intact, which means.

Bakugou is a god.

Not that Izuku knows what type. He must have gotten here when Shouto did, during the cherry blossom viewing. He's more than a little lost in thought so he doesn't try pulling away from the wall, Bakugou's hands boxing him in. Startled, he drops all of his flyers.

But it doesn't take him too long to steady himself. He's dealt with Bakugou, he knows how he is- he's not your worthless Deku forever, right?]

Why what, Kacchan?

[iyashinokaze]

[Huh. Fuu considers the flyer he's handing out. She left her shinki to explore for the day mostly, so it can't hurt to stop and ask about it.

But hm, she's very curious now. The design of the outfit is very cute, and the person wearing it is very cute, and the whole cosplay thing is very cute, but--]

A cosplay cafe? [She can't remember seeing anything like that. And with as big of a nerd as she is.....] I've never seen anything like that before. Is it a very popular place?

[fullcowl]

[Lightning insinuated he wasn't cute, and then he got put in cat ears, a bell and a clip on tail. Please don't mention however he looks to him.]

You haven't? They're pretty popular, the servers are dressed in either maid or butler outfits. This one's food and drinks are really good too.

shouto

[icyhot]

[ When he said that he wanted to help people, and even smaller tasks could mean a lot, this... wasn't what he was expecting. Shouto can't say he's thrilled to be fussed over as they get dressed up, but at least he's not the one in the dress. (One, he knows how to tie ties. Two, they don't have any dresses that would fit him, thankfully.) He does cause the owner some exasperation when she tries to smooth his hair out of his face - the second no one was looking at him, he'd shaken his head and fixed it to his usual hairstyle again.

Todoroki does this twice, before he's finally sent out, a lost cause in that department but looking good otherwise.

He's infinitely less enthusiastic about this, despite the fact his embarrassment quotient is lower, but hey, he's here to help. So he does his job, handing out flyers. ]

Come visit the cafe.

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido has not had it very easy trying to hand these out. Her pile is pretty much the same height as when she got it. She'd managed to hand some to a few high school girls but she felt horrifically embarrassed when they'd giggled the time they'd walked away from her and one had stuttered, red-faced.

She's a high school girl, new partner, she should be on the other end of this experience, shouldn't she? She misses her hood, she could've hidden under it.

Either way, she's not having much success. So she's going to try to get away for a little, moving to meet him.]

Do you think we could just staple them to telephone poles or something?

[icyhot]

[ Shouto will take comfort in the fact that he is arguably the least miserable and/or mortified of the three of them, but that's not really saying much. He either gets the same, giggly high school girl treatment that Kido is unfortunately dealing with, or people staring at his scar. Neither make him comfortable.

When she comes over, his shoulders slump as he heaves a sigh. He exhales colder air when he releases it, leaving his breath visible. ]

Midoriya would probably say no if we tried. [ Meaning he's right there with her and that idea, to be honest. Maybe they can find a hat for her to hide under? ]

[birdstheword]

[First Deku, now this fellow has her attention. Hajime takes the flyer, glancing at it briefly before looking back to Shouto]

Hello~! You have really cool hair! How did you get it like that?

[Thats such an even two-tone. Forget the cafe, she wants to know about you!]

[icyhot]

[ Hajime is the first person to enthusiastically greet him, and it actually surprises him a little - but her question, moreso, and he blinks dumbly at her for a second.

Then he reaches up to touch the split of his hair with his free hand. ]

I'm pretty sure it's naturally like that.

spills starbucks all over this, doesn't even text to say how late i'm running

[explodokill]

[ They'll never stand on an even field again. They'll never graduate together. They'll never enter the hero business together. Bakugou will never be ranked higher than Todoroki. Todoroki is dead and Bakugou is a god, and that means they'll never have a fair fight. They'll never even have the opportunity.

Bakugou will never know which of them is stronger; he won't be able to prove it to Todoroki, their classmates, Deku, or himself for the sake of objectivity.

He doesn't want to accept premature defeat, nor does he want to spill the beans about the past and risk making the situation any worse. (Thinking strategically could be a real pain in the ass.)

It's not pity, he tells himself, as he finishes talking to Izuku and walks over to the dapper-looking piece of shit who's also ruining his life. He's not trying to apologize for anything he might have heard. He's not.

He's just... trying to reintroduce himself. Badly. ]

I'll take one of those.

Kido

[blindfoldcode]

[She'd been mistaken for a man.

Again.

If that hadn't been embarrassing enough, the fact she was shrugged off when she tried to explain, "No, really, I'm a girl???," because she'd probably look better in the butler uniform? Yeah that made her want to curl up and die. This was becoming a sore point in her pride.

She's too exhausted after the fire to argue much further, anyway.

So suit donned, hair tied up, Kido hands out flyers as best as she can.]

You're welcome to come visit.

[It's too damn bad that her embarrassment reads as dead, inorganic beast to the most shy and gloomy as frick frack to the most outgoing. She's not getting anywhere, ugh.]

[missingache]

[Or to Roxas it looks like someone who doesn't seem to enjoy being out here. That's okay, he feels you on that one. That suit looks uncomfortable.

He takes the flyer and looks it over.]

Thanks!.............. cosplay cafe?

[Wait!] Like the things they've got in manga? They exist?

[He's both fascinated and horrified. He thought they were just something that was made up! Should he go in???]

[birdstheword]

Kido-chan! Look this way! Cheeeese!~!

[And when the girl does, Hajime has her phone ready and instantly snaps a picture with her phone. She gives a thumbs up afterwords.]

Click~! I got it. Kido-chan looks great in a suit. Wow. All of you are working so hard for this place, its great!

[beastenderblood]

What are they offering?

[Vella often needs vocal complaints to pick up on someone's emotions, so she's as cheery as ever.]
