Hiii everyone! Sorry to bother, but do any of you also like to draw?? This is a page from my sketchbook!

I think I'm running out of ideas, so I was hoping someone here would have suggestions on what to draw
or maybe how to find inspiration? I didn't have a lot of time to do anything artistic before so I'm a little new to this!!

[ ooc: pls dont expect anything pretty. ( 〃．．) i hope i posted this right?? lmao ]

Is that so? Your work sounds fascinating, especially if you get to work alongside such noble creatures. What sort of work did you do back in your world?

Ah... to put it simply, I did not have the means to purchase one to keep. I do not even know if it is legal for me to purchase one in my home. And even if it was, I am a student, and pets are not generally allowed in the dorms.

I do enjoy other animals as well. Wolves and black cats are also animals I like. And though they are fictional in my world, I do like dragons.

[lovebreathing]

You were a student?? What did you study?

Ah, it might be a little unexpected… but I was with the demon slayer corps! Honestly talking about work always feels a little awkward because it was an obscure job, but there’s surprisingly a lot of people that have done similar things here!! [ so that makes it ok to talk about, right? ]

I loooove cats!! I used to have a family cat growing up, they’re sooo cute!! Maybe if you couldn’t have any pets before, you can have some here? I wonder if there’s some kind of store??

I was still in high school, but I was also undergoing hero training. I wish to be a pro hero someday and help assist those who may be in danger.

A demon slayer corps?? So demons exist in your realm... and they are such an issue that demon slayers are required?

Hmm... you know, I had not considered it before. But perhaps... that could be something to look into. I would have to check with my roommate to see if they would be okay with it, but that is not a bad idea.

[lovebreathing]

Hero training? Pro hero? I've never heard of something like that before ... isn't a hero just anyone that helps out and does their best?

We had to do lots of training to become demon slayers ... so maybe what you were doing back home is similar, though. It makes me a little sad to know such young kids have to do that where you're from too, though ... [ but it is what it is. she knows this well. ]

Yay! If your roommate says yes, then that'll be so wonderful! I hope they do!! It's always really exciting to get a pet for the first time!! Do you know what kind of one you'd want?

[blackabyss]

For the most part, yes. But in my world, anyone can do the right thing and help out, but there are those who use their abilities to actively fight against crime and villains. One has to go through training and certification to be allowed to do so freely, without interfering with the police.

Perhaps you are right, and that this is a grand undertaking. But many of my classmates, and myself included, chose to be in the hero program. There are plenty of other career choices, but we chose to be in this one willingly. I do not know what I would be doing were I not undergoing hero training.

Hmm.... well, a raven would be wonderful, but perhaps not practical. A black cat... that seems more possible.

[lovebreathing]

Hearing that gives me a lot to think about! It's a little hard to imagine heroes working with the police, or being approved by them, to the point that hero school was a normal thing. Exactly how many classmates did you have? Were there a lot?

If it's okay to ask, was there a reason you wanted to go into a hero school instead of a different job? I know sometimes people have heavy reasons for these things, so please don't feel like you need to tell me though! [ she had learned as much through the reasonings of her fellow hashira: among them, she was the only one without a tragic back story. she wouldn't want for this boy to feel obligated telling her if something terrible had happened to him, too... ]

Cats are the best companion!! They're sooo cute! If you get one, please tell me what you name them! That's the best, but hardest part of having a pet!!

[blackabyss]

Quite a few. In my homeroom alone, there were twenty students, and then there are a few other homerooms as well. And that is only the ones attending my school; other academies exist to train heroes, but U.A. is Japan's most prestigious.

Hmm... Well, I wished to be a hero because heroes help to protect people. They help defend the weak and defenceless against the forces of evil, who would wish to exploit and harm them for their own twisted gains. I also wished to show those who are aligned with darkness, like I am, that villainy is not destined for those like us. Even those who revel in the dark can be heroes, should they desire.

I would need to ask my roommate, but if I do end up going through with it, I will surely let you know.

did they ever exchange names i --

[ she can't help but feel a rush of enthusiasm after reading his message, her heart swelling in her chest.
it was no secret that the path of a hero, or demon slayer, was a lonely and dangerous one.
mitsuri feels an immediate respect for such a young boy being so determined to do the right thing. ]

You're right. Everyone can be a hero, if they only want to!
I definitely believe that there are good things each one of us are capable of, and
I'm glad that you're trying despite whatever circumstances you have.
I really hope that you can continue to reach your goal, Tsukuyomi-san!

[ she isn't sure what to make of the 'aligned with darkness' thing. ]

We've talked about a lot of things so I'm not sure if I gave you my name earlier!
But please know that Kanroji Mitsuri is rooting for you!
