[semi-open] 💣 they're gonna clean up your looks

[fullgauntlet]

Who: The PLUS ULTRA! crew & friends.
Status: Semi-open.
Where: The Mighty Explosion God Ship Bomb!! ship that is docked in Eltrut or Elah. Or the small cottage the crew owns in Elah.
What: A catch-all mingle log for March for the PLUS ULTRA! crew and any friends happening by. Some Manta Board quest prompts have been included too.
Warnings: Tba.

⛵ Like the rest of the ships around the docks lately, the explosion of sea slugs has taken over the hero's ship as well. It's covered in what seems like hundreds of playful and colourful sea slugs. They are all over the deck, climbing up the mast and leaving strings of sticky slime all over the place. The slugs will either need to be removed somehow or killed. And the sea slug slime mopped up...

If crewmates and friends are looking for partners to go harvesting underwater pineapples with the ship can also be found in Eltrut waters where the special pineapples can be found. Go swimming or diving to collect as many underwater pineapples for the ship stores as possible.




🌼 If not on the ship, the crew can sometimes be found at their small cottage on the paladin's leviathan, Elah. The cottage is small but happens to be well kept despite four very unruly and busy teenagers living inside it. They have a small garden growing outside as well as various plants and pots all over the terrace.

And they seem to be preparing to build some kind of new addition to the cottage soon too as there is a pile of stone and wood stacked up outside. And an apple-shaped sheep keeps walking around too. Baaah.

Toge Inumaki | Breaking in your post like the rude houseguest he is!

[cursedwords]

I. He swears he’s not a ninja...

[ The cottage is cute, really, and since Toge’s own ship is not far from town at the moment he can find time to visit!

What kind of a person knocks on the door? Not him. After all, he’s in Paladin territory here. He can’t expect to know if the occupants of the cottage mind his presence.

So, instead of going to the door like a normal person, he can be seen in the twilight scaling the wall up to Shoto’s room and letting himself in. At some point in the night, he’ll sneak out and leave some pastries in the kitchen for the occupants as thanks for letting him visit.

In the morning when they get up he’ll just go right back out the window, so in daylight he can be seen not scaling down, but jumping, landing rather solidly on his feet like that’s a normal thing to do. ]

II. Just an ordinary visitor.

[ And, at Shoto’s request, he will at least come visit once to meet people in an ordinary way, knocking at the door.

It’s a housewarming right? Something like that.

So Toge will bring something for them and what that happens to be is a cloth bag filled with various candy bars swiped from his bottomless cauldron in his room on his ship.

Whoever comes to the door will get a cheerful smile behind a mask and a raised hand. ]

Kelp!

III. Wildcard

[Oh he can visit the ship too – don’t you worry, this brat has a ring of returning, he could set it up to visit.

Also Bakugo he owes you a sparring match.]

[At the best and worst of times- Izuku is a night owl. He stays up late a lot and often because he's busy fixating on a book or some sort of project. Tonight is one of those nights. In particular, he hears the sounds rustling in the kitchen as their house guest breaks in to leave some baked pastries in the kitchen.

He's quick like lightning, a crack of his quirk Black Whip snapping into the kitchen to slam against the wall because-- of course, he thinks they're being robbed?! Who breaks in to leave things instead of taking things though-]

Wait! Don't move?!

[cursedwords]

[ Congratulations Izuku, on getting the jump on Toge, because he was not really paying enough attention.

His back hits the wall, but he doesn't listen because he makes a grab for Izuku's arm and moves to sweep his leg and put him on the ground.

It's a reflex. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Because it's late Izuku doesn't realize his arm is being grabbed. But he has a quirk that allows him to semi-sense danger so the sweeping leg has Izuku jumping before it can slam him to the ground-!

Luckily he has just enough reflex to stop a kick right before he hits Toge. Body control is important!]

Eh!?

[!!!!!]

Inumaki-kun!?

[What is he doing sneaking in like this!!]

[cursedwords]

[ That's alright, what's a few blows between friends? ]

Salmon.

[ Toge blinks a little bit, but since Izuku stopped himself, he lets go of his arm. He's alright, he was a little winded from hitting the wall but that's normal. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku immediately puts his guard down as well and quickly frets.]

I'm so sorry, Inumaki-kun?! Are you alright?! I didn't see that it was you at first- I ...

[He's really sorry!! ... But also why is Toge here in the middle of the night? To see Shoto? Oh... THAT. His cheeks flare red.]

I'm sorry- You were probably visiting... Todoroki-kun...

[cursedwords]

[ He holds up his hands a little bit, smiling and making a placating gesture. ]

Mentaiko. [ He's totally fine. Besides, if he's a little banged up that's his own fault for not paying attention.

The reaction gets a raised eyebrow out of him. ]

Salmon. [ He confirms that's why he's there, but he also gestures to the bundle on the counter. There are apple turnovers bundled in there. ] Tuna tuna.

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku still feels terrible for jumping the gun but he's glad that Toge is alright. No one got hurt and that's important. Izuku puts his hand on his chest and lets out a relieved sigh.]

I'm glad...

[But then he looks up at the other boy again and follows the gesture to the bundle on the counter.]

Ah, you brought treats for us too, Inumaki-kun? That's very kind of you! I know Kacchan gets tired of doing all the cooking all the time...! Thank you!

[How nice!! His eyes sparkle.]

[cursedwords]

[ It's alright Izuku, he's been body slammed by worse, that was pretty tame to some of his experiences. He considers it his own fault anyway for dropping his guard. ]

Salmon! [ Toge confirms with a bright smile. He can understand how Bakugo feels too, he's the only cook on his ship and it's frankly quite exhausting. More than he ever thought it would be. ]

Pastry Ninja

[callmekacchan]

[Katsuki is an early riser and he's up making breakfast when he sees something--someone drop from above into their yard through the kitchen window. A window that he opens to find... Todoroki's boyfriend.]

Oy. We have doors.

[cursedwords]

[ Come on, doesn't everyone exit buildings by jumping from the window? That's such a normal thing.

Toge had landed and is hopping in place a bit to wake up and he blinks at being shouted at and he smiles and waves. ]

Mentaiko! [ Yes, he knows. ]

[callmekacchan]

It's too early for this shit...

[He points an accusing finger at Toge.]

I don't care what you and that half'n'half bastard get up to, but use the door, damn you!

[cursedwords]

[ Toge offers a bit of a helpless shrug, raising his hands in mimed defeat. Whatever they get up to? Nothing really, he was just visiting.

He'll just come over and lean in the window. ]

Tuna mayo. [ He waves his hand around a bit and then pulls out his shellphone to help out here. The cheerful AI voice will explain. ]

I wasn't trying to disturb anyone, sorry. I can jump quieter.

[callmekacchan]

[Toge gets a dirty look for that shrug. Don't you shrug at him. He returns to his cooking as he listens to the little robotic voice communicate for Toge.]

Or you'll use the damn door. It's not like we don't all know you're hanging around.

[Okay he can't be sure. But honestly Izuku not knowing was possibly worse?

Accidentally get deemed a potential threat and get put through the nearest wall. And if Izuku puts someone through a wall while Katsuki is sleeping, Izuku is also going through a wall. So honestly it's better for everyone if they avoid that?

He likes the walls not broken, thanks.]

Sit down. I'm making tamagoyaki.

[cursedwords]

[ He can and will shrug at him if he likes. It's not because they know or don't know, he's just trying not to disturb people.

At least he agrees, and to be a pain in the ass, he will just climb in through the window. The lowest form of trolling. ]

Tuna mayo. [ Thanks for the offer, Bakugo. He will go and sit down obediently though. ]

It's not really a secret as long as Shoto doesn't care. I don't. I don't have anyone I know in this world anyway.

[ It's unspoken that if he did, it might become a problem. It really depends who it is. ]

[callmekacchan]

He told me that you're dating.

[He's going to pretend he didn't notice Toge climbing through the window, focusing on his cooking.]

No one here is gonna give a shit.

[Because he did catch that it would maybe be a problem if someone Toge knows finds out. But here under this roof? Anyone wants to be stupid, they can go out the window. The hard way.]

[cursedwords]

Yeah we're dating, for a couple of months now.

[ It's fun and novel, and they're having a good time. He adores Shoto so much. ]

That's good. I wouldn't think so anyway. I don't really know what the problem would be.

[ Shoto is a normal guy who doesn't have a million and one stupid rules he has to follow. Toge is not allowed to date, that's one of the biggest ones. Anyone who would rat him out - can never ever know. ]

II - I'm not late, you're late.

[heir_conditioned]

There's never not a smiling moment when Shoto gets to see him, even if they're small smiles when that door opens.

"Toge." As if he was expecting someone else, but also, he's happy to see him anyway. Moving out of the doorway, he gestures for him to come in. "Everyone should be around eventually." As does usually happen with this place, with their ship or crew. Everyone mills around as they need or want.

Time is a myth.

[cursedwords]

He smiles cheerfully and steps inside, look Toge knows how to use doors just fine. He's not a total heathen. He enters, lets Shoto get the door and lowers his mask so he can give him a little kiss in greeting.

"Kelp." Toge's tone is a bit different, less total cheer and more warmth.

[heir_conditioned]

Shoto does indeed take that queue, leaning the tiny distance needed to greet him at the door the proper way once it's all shut and taken care of. Shoto returns to his smile and gestures for him to have a seat in their common room. "I'm glad you came." Even if this isn't the first time he's been over. "You know everyone, I think?"

[cursedwords]

"Salmon salmon." Toge agrees. He's fairly certain he has met everyone. Shoto also gets a hug since he's his boyfriend before he finally lets go.

"Takana?" How's Shoto doing today, he has to ask.

[heir_conditioned]

And now Toge has done it, because hug brief or not, he's going to have to settle and keep one arm around him. Shoto has found that he enjoys this closeness. Eventually it makes for his other hand to settle on the comfortable spot just above Toge's hip at his waist. Though it takes him just a few moments to respond, he's certain he understands.

"I'm alright. Midoriya has been wanting to do a few projects, so it's been busy here, but it's otherwise as usual. We have a new crewmate, Ranma Saotome. New in comparison to being here a while I guess."

[cursedwords]

Since their discussion on Valentine's day, Toge has a new response to give Shoto, and so he does since he's pulled to his side.

He places both hands out in front of him in the shape of a heart, with a little smile.

Toge is listening though so he nods along to Shoto's words.

It's fine, I can die. /loveheart

[heir_conditioned]

The heart shape of his hands makes Shoto smile a little wider than maybe he normally does. He likes seeing it and if his hands weren't full of Toge, he would maybe have attempted it himself. It makes his heart flutter and he's not sure that he shouldn't go in for an actual physical to make sure that isn't something he should have looked at. It feels warm deep in his chest.

"I like when you do that." The other conversation is forgotten-- crew who? Meeting who? Only Toge. He's so cute. He has no idea how someone else didn't shoot their shot with him and Shoto is so glad. Being with Toge is great.

It's not the worst way to go

[cursedwords]

He grins, pleased by Shoto's reaction and his words and he smiles. "Salmon. Tuna mayo." Toge likes what they came up with and he likes Shoto, not in that order.

Somehow, relationships should be more complicated he thinks sometimes, but he's glad it's not. At the moment he's just enjoying having a boyfriend and getting the chance to experience something new - something downright normal for a change.

Funny he had to come to another world to do that.
