[Well, this is happening. He's pretty ticked off about it, but he's accepted the situation. Which means the next step is to find any allies he might have around here and gather information. Unfortunately...he's assuming this network is monitored by Astoria, so he can't exactly speak freely.]

if you're familiar with the term 'quirk' or ua high school, contact me.

[He's already found two of his students, but if he's missed others, or his coworkers, he needs to know.]

also, if you've been with this 'circle' for awhile, i'd appreciate a chance to talk in person. i have some questions.

Kidnappings tend to inspire caution, yeah.

[He wants to know a lot of things, but he knows he needs to be economical about it. Start with the most pressing questions first.]

What do we know about Astoria? What's she after, why does she need us?

[metagame]

You could always ask her yourself. [A good shrug to continue his bluff.] You don't know me, so you can take this with a grain of salt... [He's narrowing his eyes, scouting the area, trying to figure Aizawa's angle. There's caution-- certainly from the kidnapping, but someone isn't that direct unless there's something else.]

But she's friendly, earnest might be a better word to describe her. [He crosses his arms, thoughtful.] As for what she's after? She wants to save people, universes... From what I've gathered, she'd gladly do it herself, but she can't leave this place.

[eraserdad]

You'll have to excuse me if I'm not exactly up for a polite conversation with her.

[Despite his words, his tone is so desert dry and acerbic that it's clear he doesn't care if Atem excuses him or not. The only reason he's not saying "Astoria can go fuck herself" outright is because the person he's talking to looks relatively young.]

She can draw people from other universes but she can't leave?

[smells like bullshit 2 him]

[metagame]

I don't know if it's really just her? [excuse u he is 18, he knows the implication-- he's seen it so many times in Grandpa and Mahad and-- No, no reason to think about that right now. Atem picks at his cloak absentmindedly!] She mentioned the temple has something to do with it, too. I also don't know if anyone's ever gotten her to elaborate.

[He wasn't this sore about the arrival... But he can see why people aren't too thrilled. It's not exactly people signed up for this sort of thing.]

sorry for the delay! holidays, etc

[eraserdad]

The temple kidnaps people.

[Could his tone get any flatter. He looks incredibly unimpressed, too.]
