Hello. I've been told of the dangers of giving my name and picture to a wide network before, please accept my username for now.

There has been a lot happen here, but one thing sticks in my mind in the quieter hours that I would rather it not. I'd like to hear about the experiences people have with leaving others behind. Good or bad. Here, home, or another world. I've tried writing letters. A new notebook since my old one is lost to me. The new one doesn't seem to feel the same way. I've tried late night work outs, jogs, odd jobs in the evening, wandering and what one gentleman called the "night life" which I still don't completely understand. I could go to the same places in the day. All in all, I'm out of ideas.

Hearing any way that you deal with those thoughts constructively is something I'd be thankful for.

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

Well, I'm glad I helped.

[ then again, did he really? ]

Oh no, I'm not scared of you or anything. I just want to make sure I gave you good advice, that's all. Just ... when it gets tough, that's when you need to be close to the people you trust. Talk to them about your thoughts? Sometimes just talking about it helps ... you know?

You did and I'm grateful.

[In a great many ways. ~~Not even just his player getting to have stupid wordplay fun.~~]

You have, I feel like. Even talking to you has helped a great deal and on one hand I have been telling my friends here they can rely on me, but forgetting they would do the same. Speaking with strangers has made being open a little easier.

I've asked a lot of you, but could I ask if you have any recommendations for places to start in that area of town where parties are concerned?

WELL.

I might know a place or two, but you gotta be real careful. Shuten folks are not a fan of outsiders, and as an enma I suffered a bit. I learned if you prove to them you're no pushover, they will leave you alone.

If you're up for that challenge, I can recommend a few nightclubs for you.

[ aaaand here comes the bad advice. ]

[Or the best advice of his life.]

I'm always up for challenges. I don't think the challenge I'm looking for is to be left alone, but if someone approaches that's a better gauge of interest to talk. Even just being somewhere busy with a party would be interesting.

I'd like your recommendations.

[Your totally-safe-and-not-harkening-back-to-someone-telling-him-he-has-a-punchable-face locations. Bestworst.]

[ you will get an attachment shortly, pinpointing the location of one nightclub. a second later, he will get another— and maybe a third follows. okay, fourth.

someone really did their research, huh. ]

Okay, the first one I heard it's really popular and very hard to get in. They have the best parties, the best music, and everything!

I'll be honest, I haven't been there yet. I don't trust myself not to do stupid things, but if you're brave enough ... go for it! Oh, and maybe bring the friend you're sleeping with too!

[ the matchmaking continues. ]

[Shoto's making note of them and putting them in a separate place so that he can reference it later. Someone really did do their research. The matchmaking will have to wait, and it also might kill Izuku even in concept, Shoto has a better idea.]

If I'm going to go, why don't you come with me? If you detail to me what things you don't want to do, I could tell you when you're about to if you don't recognize the signs. That way in the future when you go on your own, you might have an easier time.

[ shoto, no. this is a terrible idea.

and yet- ]

... For real?
Okay! Let's do it ✨✨✨✨

When do you want to go?

[Who better to bodyguard a complete stranger than another complete stranger? This is a disaster in the making.]

Of course.

Any time but tonight, I wouldn't be on my best guard. Just message me in the late afternoon and I'll make time.

Alright. It's a date!

Oh, and what's your name? I'm Itadori Yuuji! I gotta know the name of my new partner in crime ✨

[...A date? Oh. Okay it can be a date? He's heard of blind dating before. Hope he enjoys flowers and not having to pay for a thing. Transportation should be a thing, too. He'll do his research.]

I'll prepare properly. I'm glad I'm going with someone who knows how to get there. I can navigate, but not very easily here yet.

Todoroki Shoto. Calling me Shoto will be alright. I won't be letting us commit any crimes, but I'll help you. We'll find fun things to do that won't get you in trouble.

No, no. It's fine. Let's be free ...

[ he wants to get in trouble, you! :/ also, shoto showing up thinking it's an actual date sjkhskhjgjf; ]

... navigate?
Do you drive or somethin'?

[Shoto takes free in an entirely different direction, not as bad as the date one and definitely not as bad as his earlier misunderstanding regarding sleeping arrangements. He's there to guard and make sure things go smoothly, but he's going to have to balance that on how you do it while you're on a date. At least 'free' feels like he doesn't have to wear a tuxedo or something.]

Alright, we'll see where things take the evening.

Yes. I can drive. I did learn how, but I'm not sure of the most efficient way of getting around here. I'll look into it and make certain to pick something appropriate that will accommodate us both.

[ DO NOT SHOW UP IN A TUX!!

okay, but wait— suddenly this feels so serious. shoto is talking about picking him up in a car. does that mean this guy is an adult? why does this feel so official when all yuuji had in mind is childish stupidity and a night full of regrets? ]

Nah, no need, Todoroki-kun! We'll just meet there. I'll be holding a sign with your name on it! I got thiiiis.

This weekend. You and me! Be ready 💪

[Thankfully, no, not this time.

Shoto enjoys fun, he just doesn't sound like it. If he can find an appropriate means of transportation he sure will pick him up at a location the other finds co-- Even better! He's used to Todoroki-kun, too. Izuku uses that along with a few other of his classmat--

A sign...? Wow.]

I've never had someone make a sign like that. Thank you. I will see you this weekend, send me a time that's convenient for you.

[ sorry he just saw this and yuuji's mom is here to keep an eye on things. thankfully, from the conversations he's read, shoto looks like a decent person (otherwise he would be taking a different tone with this text). ]

Sorry to cut in. Itadori may run into things without thinking, so if you could keep him out of trouble, that would be appreciated.

Please call me if anything comes up.

[Luckily Mom has no worries where Shoto is concerned. He's the sort that would sooner see the other party out safely than his own pure safety.]

I promised I would go with him to make certain he's not going to come to any problems. If he does I give you my word that he will be safe with me. I have first aid so any bumps or bruises he gets from running into whatever he runs into will be taken care of.
