What happens to the people that leave here?

Do they make it back home or... something else? It doesn't seem to make much sense.

[shootstyles]

I know.

I'm sorry, I'm just... It's frustrating that we don't even know what happens to our friends. And if... when we go back... if it will be like this never happened or if they'll remember.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

dont b srry it sucks. did sum1 from ur home go back?

[shootstyles]

Yeah. When we arrived on this world, Kacchan was suddenly gone even though we were together a few seconds before we left. I kept... hoping he'd come back but I think he's really gone.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

thats the guy u said u were rooming with rite? u got ppl 2 watch ur back now that hes back home?

[shootstyles]

Yeah, that's him. But I'll be okay, I'm used to watching my own back. I'd hate for anyone here to get into trouble because of me.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

hot tip 4 u since ur gonna b a superhero wen u grow up or whatever - watchin ur own backs a quick trip 2 an early retirement. also were all trapped in a spaceship with sumthin big n deadly so i think were all n trouble already. dont b afraid 2 call 4 help ok? even if ur not sure if nythings even wrong

[He did promise Kacchan that he'd take better care of himself, didn't he? Now's probably a good time to actually work to sticking to it. Hank's right and he knows it.]

I know you're right, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to trouble anyone with a problem like this when we all have so much to worry about right now...

[fuck1ngusernam3]

stop apologizin 2 me kid im not mad. besides mysterious rampaging death monsters or wtf ever r not always more important than ur personal problems

[shootstyles]

That doesn't seem right!

[fuck1ngusernam3]

well look at it this way if u let ur personal shit pile up its gonna change the way u do ur job. take it from me. like yeh technically u got 2 focus on the case or the magic bs or whatever but u got 2 take care of u b4 u can do that. they dont teach u that in hero school? how 2 avoid burnout n all that shit?

[If hypocrisy was a drug Hank would be high as a gooddamn kite. And, you know what? He kind of knows it. But all that makes him is the voice of experience. He honestly had tried to live by the rules he's talking about, after all - right up until he didn't.]

[shootstyles]

It's probably not surprising that I've gotten that lecture before.

And I really do try! I just... when I see someone in trouble or something I could do to be helping, I can't think about anything else. Not even myself.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

well no 1 around 2 help here so mayb its a good time to practice

I just really miss him. We've always been together.

im sorry for hank’s text speak during this serious topic XD

[There’s a weird in-between space here, he thinks, when it comes to how to handle this. On one hand, the kid’s not dead. On the other, he’s still gone, and it might be a long time before Izuku even hears about him again.]

u roomed 2gethr here 2 rite? so this is the 1st time u been somewhere w/o him. u joined up w the hero guys at the same time 2?

its so perfect i love it

[shootstyles]

We did. But... we've known each other longer than that. Since we were really little.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

thats gonna b hard 2 get used 2. i kno its not the same but if u need company sumtimes dont b afraid 2 ask im p sure no 1 on this ship has any hot dates or anything planned

[shootstyles]

Isn't that a lot to ask someone...?! And I don't even have a good excuse like studying or anything.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

wat u think askin sum1 2 hang out is a lot? im p sure thats like a -10 on the 1-10 scale of weird shit 2 say. do u not just chill w ppl

[shootstyles]

I do but we're usually like... doing home work or training or watching a movie or something like that! Not being concerned with my personal problems!

[fuck1ngusernam3]

do u have 2 mentiion it tho? can u just b like hey u busy lets hang

or whatever u kids say 2 each other idk

[shootstyles]

I guess not. I could just ask if... they wanna hang out.

...

Hank and Sumo, do you want to hang out with me?!

[fuck1ngusernam3]

[Hank smiles to himself.]

sure thing man. where r u?

[shootstyles]

Really?!

I mean, I'm just hanging out in the lounge.

[fuck1ngusernam3]

no i actually get my kicks out of hangin w ppl i secretly dont like

jk yes rlly omw

[He’s on his way as soon as he types it. He’s pretty much got the ship’s layout memorized so getting there doesn’t take long and soon he’s wandering in, scratching a hand absently through Sumo’s fur as he looks around. All the shit that would have made him avoid meeting up with the kid has passed, more or less, so aside from the bags under his eyes and the same general level of stink they’ve all got Hank almost looks like a presentable adult type figure. This is what his best looks like right now. It’s fine.]

[shootstyles]

[Izuku had woken up from an attempted nap that he wished had been much longer before he'd decided to ask the network the question that had been haunting him for the past few weeks.

He's... doing alright. He's a little pale, has lost a little weight, looks like he could probably use more sleep and there are bruises on his knuckles from his door punching adventures. His right hand has graphite smears on it from writing in a notebook sitting at his feet at the couch he's currently resting on.

When he sees Hank, he smiles and throws the blanket off his legs and goes over to meet him.]

Thanks for coming. Sorry to have bothered you.

Hi, Sumo!

[He kneels down to pet the dog.]
