[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.

powers being like the gifts astoria has given us upon our arrival here yes
is this commonplace in your homeland

[ Ephraim's speech patterns: eternally at odds with his apparent inability to use a goddamned punctuation mark. ]

[eraserdad]

yeah
most people have one
they manifest around the age of four

speaking of which, how did you discover these "gifts"

[the quotes could not be heavier if he tried.]

[besieging]

to be honest i have mostly heard of others who have determined theirs
despite my best efforts i have been unable to discern anything different myself

[ His best efforts, to be fair, could probably be better. But subtle powers on unsubtle people are like, hard, man. ]

for someone who claims to want our assistance, she hasn't exactly made it easy

[Though maybe she doesn't want their help at all and this is all some kind of elaborate scheme. He doesn't have enough information to be able to tell.]

i admit i may be lacking in my sense of how to approach it
there is little that is remotely comparable in my world save perhaps magic but that still takes study
and ive certainly never had the temperament to pursue it anyway

[ But, like. Would it kill her to give them an instruction manual? Having to read it would probably give him hives but at least he wouldn't be stabbing into the dark. ]

[eraserdad]

using any kind of quirk effectively takes work
regardless of how naturally talented you might be

[coughs in bakugo's direction.]

she could at least tell us what they are

[besieging]

a very good point
i have to think id have at least a modest chance of success if i had any idea what i am trying to do

[eraserdad]

yeah

[It's one of many reasons he does not trust Astoria at all.]

well, if i figure anything out, i'll let you know
