ORIENTATION
[When you start to stir from your slumber, you awaken to the smell of dust and rotted wood. Your bed is far from comfortable -- lumps in the mattress, a tattered blanket that barely keeps you warm and a pillow almost as hard as a rock-- and you'll immediately see there are others in your room with you.
All of you are confused, surely. "Where am I?" "What place is this?" Questions like that stir through your mind while you take in your surroundings. Something might catch your eye before anything else, though. A coloured chest tied with a bow, a large gift tag is attached to it with your name on it. There's one for everyone in each dorm, and if you open it you'll find:
An old, worn school uniform.
A colourful costume.
And a pamphlet with information about you, about your stay in this Academy, and a map of the layout of the school and the training grounds outside. The descriptions are vague, leaving out important details about your new super powers called "Quirks", a bland description about how you were selected to join the Academy called "VA" (no explanation what it means), and even the map has lame descriptions of locations that don't really give you a good idea of where you're staying.
Before you can start exploring, or chatting away with your neighbors, a voice rings over old intercoms. It sounds low and comforting, like a long lost friend. But there's something about that that feels.. unsettling. A feeling in your gut that this voice was anything but friendly.
"Welcome, students. You must be very confused, but I assure you I'll be able to answer all the questions you have in just a few minutes.
For now, relax, explore, and meet your new classmates who will be staying with you during this semester.
Oh, but..... whatever you do, don't enter the dining room."
The intercom cuts off, leaving you with a cryptic message to think about on top of.. everything else you're dealing with right now.]

[He's more worried about Tamaki than himself right now though, pulling his hands from his arms so he can reach for one of his hands instead, gently bringing it close so he can turn it over to look at it, palm up.]
You're sure? You can't activate it at all? What did you eat this morning?
no subject
[ Look. When you have to eat based on your quirk, you at weird meals. ]
But none of them come back. It says I should be able to control liquids instead...if I drink them.
[ He's Unsure if he wants to try this fountain water, Mirio. ]
no subject
Mirio sighs, gritting his teeth behind his lips for a long moment as he considers his..."Quirk". It's not a terrible power by any means, but it isn't his.
It's not a relief like he imagined it might be.]
It says I should be able to create invisible forcefields. Obviously I can't...reach it easily.
[It's like starting over from scratch as a child just learning what your Quirk is.]
Tama, whatever's going on here, it has to be the work of a Villain. We'll be able to pull more information out of them once they show themselves, and they will. It's going to be alright.
no subject
Can you feel anything?
[ From the quirk he apparently now has. Tamaki's at least calmer than he has been all day in Mirio's presence... ]
Okay actual manga spoilers now you've been warned
[Mirio looks troubled, still holding Tamaki's hand even though he probably has no reason to any longer.]
I don't know. I'm not really sure what I'd be looking to feel, you know? Permeation was...well, you know.
[As easy as breathing.]
It's just as likely that this information isn't true. It could be a distraction, or something...but I guess it would be kindof silly to not try, wouldn't it?
[He laughs.]
no subject
We should both try them out. If that's what we're stuck with right now...
[ They should at least learn the ins and outs as quickly as they can. ]
Er...if we can find me something to drink.
[ He glances at the fountain water again. ]
no subject
Tamaki is totally allowed to make this a mutual thing too, especially since Mirio isn't letting go...
He does see the way Tamaki looks at the fountain again, Mirio's complexion paling.]
...if we're expected to be kept here for any amount of time, I'm sure we'll have something better to drink than stagnant water from a rusty fountain.
[He doesn't want you to be poisoned??]
no subject
We can try to find another source...except apparently not in the dining room?
[ FOR...SOME REASON? ]
no subject
If I had to guess, that must be where our host is hiding out right now. Probably doesn't want anyone to disturb what they expect to be a grand entrance...
no subject
We can check the water in the bathrooms?
no subject
We might as well. After that we can see if this whole..."other Quirks" thing has any stock to it.
[Mirio starts to stand, and since their hands are linked will end up pulling Tamaki with him.]
Did you wake up in a different dorm room? I didn't see you until just now.
no subject
[ BY AN ANDROID. :( ]
no subject
[What!!]
Wait, hold on- what happened?
no subject
[ ALSO...
He had a small identity crisis after, no big deal,,, ]
no subject
[Okay...okay.]
W-well, as long as you're alright...from what I've been able to gather, there are a lot of people here claiming to be from places I've never heard of. I don't know how it's happening, but it might explain the android.
no subject
[ But. ]
Do you think they'll be suspicious of us?
no subject
[Though...Tamaki makes a good point.]
I'm not sure. If they are, that's not something we'll be able to help. We're just going to have to show them that we're trying to help here, you know?
We're the good guys.
no subject
[ Uh. Mirio has to do all the talking, though... ]
no subject
[Of course, he'll need to know how to reach his own first...but that's a problem for later.]
It would encourage everyone to trust us, at any rate.
no subject
[ Like Mirio phasing through the fucking floor! Dangerous to themselves he means. ]
More manga spoilers
[It's a wildly different ballpark they're in.]
Before we can worry about the others though, we need to sort ourselves out. It'll take some time, but...it's not like we haven't been through this before.
[Tamaki lost his Quirk, briefly. Mirio...permanently.]
They are manga spoiler central
It's the first time we've been given entirely new powers, though. It's a bit like starting from scratch...
no subject
[...]
Well...it's like the opposite. I just have to think in a different way.
no subject
[ Because it's Mirio ]
no subject
You've always had a lot of faith in me, haven't you?
