It seems we're all stuck here together like one big happy family, aren't we? Since that's the case... how about we play a little game to get to know each other?

What is most important to you in your entire life? What would you be willing to do anything for? And I do mean anything~

And please, nothing like 'friendship' or 'world peace.' Really dig down deep; we should all be honest with each other, don't you think? ❤

[feel free to answer the question or not, Joshua seems to just be very bored. what a chatty nerd!]

i want to be a hero who saves people with a smile on my face and makes them feel safe. who brings happiness to the world... a pillar of hope for everyone.

[giveuponyourself]

You really do think highly of yourself, don't you!

It's impossible to make every person you meet feel safe, don't you think?

In fact, smiling all the time might make someone feel very unsettled.

[shootstyles]

Maybe you're right, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't try. If someone's just been through something terrible and a smile can help them feel better, even just a little bit, then it's worth it.

[giveuponyourself]

Would you really give up so much of yourself just to smile at someone on a bad day?

It seems excessively cruel to me that someone else would place such a heavy burden on you.

[shootstyles]

Of course, that's part of being a hero. Which is why it's not a burden. It's something that I want to do more than anything.

[giveuponyourself]

A hero, is it?

Is that what you want to do? You said you wanted to live up to people's expectations, didn't you?

You don't feel pressured by that, even a bit? I know I would.

[shootstyles]

of course i do. but it just pushes me to do better.

[giveuponyourself]

I hope you're right. It can be a fine line between someone's hopes for you being a tremendous motivator, or being an unbearable burden.

I wonder where you'll end up?

[shootstyles]

dunno. but i have to believe that i'll make it to the top and keep striving for that.

[giveuponyourself]

I suppose you're right. [Well that just had to be a lie, Joshua never agrees with anyone.]

I look forward to seeing how you'll shake out going forward. My name's Joshua. Here's to the future, hm?

[shootstyles]

S-sure!

It's Midoriya. Um, my name I mean. Izuku Midoriya.

[giveuponyourself]

I'll be sure to keep you in mind, Izuku. Your intentions are refreshingly selfless. I hope you don't mind.

[yeah that's not ominous at all good going josh.]

[shootstyles]

[IZUKU ALREADY...]

Keep me in mind? For what?

[A weird thing to say, he thinks.]

[giveuponyourself]

Oh, did I scare you? [hehehehe.]

Don't worry, it's nothing nefarious. I just like watching interesting people.

[shootstyles]

oh i mean... i don't really think im that interesting. i'm not even the top of my class or anything like that.

[giveuponyourself]

Oh what does that matter? School performance is a poor measure for really matters. I haven't been for a long time and I turned out just fine.

[......probably]

[shootstyles]

i guess not. ive just never really thought of myself as interesting .

[giveuponyourself]

Maybe you should! You've certainly got some lofty ideals. If you don't think much of yourself, you can't really expect yourself to get better and achieve those goals now, can you?
