Being out in the woods is, for some people, an ordinary day. You may or may not be one of those people — you almost certainly don’t remember going camping, do you? — and yet you emerge from a tent and think to yourself, hm, that’s quite odd! Where is the nearest civilization anyhow? If you’re brave enough, perhaps you set out to seek it, walking toward where you think you hear noise in the far distance. It sounds a bit like cheering. A party? A bonfire? You can’t be certain, not at first.
As you step onto the worn trail,
something nearly clocks you right in the head. A nimble dodge to the left and a quick glance at the ground tells you that it’s some kind of tree branch made of… flesh? It’s certainly flesh-textured, though the colour is a deep blue that glows white. It seems to be rapidly rotting into the ground, and as you look up… a giant, several hundred foot tree of a similar eldritch makeup is falling apart before your eyes. Your walk back to civilization will be full of dodging probably-dead flesh tree bits.
Should you make it in one piece, the source of the noise becomes obvious: the people making up this small town are cheering and yelling about something
else of eldritch makeup. It seems that some of the creatures who have lived in this civilization’s river for the last year, the Seaborn, have decided to
evolve to be capable of flight. Some residents of this town seem extremely enthusiastic with this. Some are wary. Some simply don’t care.
You? Well, that’s for you to decide.
Welcome to the eldritch horror fae woods, dear friend. Enjoy your stay.

Katsuki Bakugo | MHA | New Player
[ He's dead. ]🧨 . WAKE UP
cw: Suicide ment
[ Katsuki Bakugo is pretty sure he's dead, but air is filling into his lungs, and he is up off the ground again with a start. Barreling out of the tent, he goes, heaving and gasping for breath. Trying to attune himself to the world around him. Everything is colored differently, and everything is falling apart. He tries to make sense of the trees in front of him, and finds parts of it pulling and
This is hell? Yeah, this is hell.
At any rate, the boy is rushing forward with a barrage of explosions coming out of his hands. Attempting to, with some sense of urgency about him - to make sense of the situation in front of him after he just basically died - if someone is in danger, he is sure to stop and help. If anything, maybe he needs that right now - some sense of normalcy in his life. Something that makes sense: being a hero would help. ]
💣 . A SNAKE IN THE GRASS
Cw: Season 7 spoilers
Nope. [ Curt, simple, and immediate. He is wearing his prohero uniform after exiting the forest and finding this area to be - rather... Weird. Weird was the word. He's a city boy, and this suburban-like countenance was something that didn't quite sit right with him, especially with the vibes this place was giving. With a snake here and a snake there, Bakugo is picking one up and giving it some observation. It's made of stone, and it's extremely aggressive. He doesn't know why it's coming after him, but it is hungry for him. It's likely hungry for anyone else walking around here -
You might find him with loud sounds of explosions trying to make the snakes go away or outright killing them. Another time, he's been bit, and now on edge, attempting to keep his cool and muster his senses together to convince himself whatever he is seeing - isn't real. However, having had his near-death experience, from his point of view, only moments before this.
It's a struggle that Bakugo is dealing with. He likely is cursing under his breath and grabbing hold of his head trying to stop whatever hallucinations he is coming to. One in particular causes him to freeze over, as he stares at his chest and feels that there is big gaping hole there - ]
💥 . 'NEATH SERPENT'S GAZE
[ He will observe and won't do anything outside of that, but if he catches someone approaching. Bakugo will call out to them quietly enough, but his voice is a domineering one. Clear and loud.] Where the hell are you going?
🐑 . Wild Card
[ Offers Katsuki Bakugo, he's from season 7, and hopefully, you saw the CW before reading, but he is coming from literally when he dies. Feel free to dm me or plurk me on
a snake in the grass: biting time!
while bakugou copes with the agony of the bite, the visions swimming before him, flowers bloom around him as if forming a ring too thick for the snakes to slip through. the scent of lilies waft through the air, while a soft, gentle voice speaks clearly: )
Focus on my voice. They will not touch you again.

Shadow Milk Cookie | Cookie Game
[He was out on a very important mission, believe it or not. He came out here to take stock of some of the flora for magical use. There's a lot around, after all, all sorts of plants, things he was both familiar with and not. They have this necromancy project to see to, after all, and it's managed to hold his interest more than most lately.]
[He wagers the further in he goes, the more twisted and dangerous the plants may become, and their magical efficacy may be stronger. That's when the Daffodils catch his attention. Something... something about them rises up a strong but confusing emotional whiplash. Anger? Dread? Weird.]
[It sure is enough to distract him from what might be in the grass.]
[Serpents Gaze.]
[Well getting the shit bitten out of him really sucked! And while it put him out of commission for a few days, it's not stopping the pure blackened fury in him that he got Got by one of the Forest's familiars. That mark on his skin? He's probably had to be talked down from tearing it off himself.]
[He hates it, he hates it more than anything, and he will do everything he can to find a way to destroy these snakes.]
[So, he is actually at the Archives, rather than out in the woods. He knows his body is barely well enough to be on his feet, so getting into a fist-fight with venomous rocks does not strike him as intelligent. Instead, he will be doing some kind of research for how to stop them.]
[Which means this blue weirdo with the writhing Eldritch hair, who looks like he may faint at any moment is standing in the Archives with seven or eight books hovering around him, pouring through them and then, with a grumble, putting them back and selecting more.]
A sorry deviation from the script this one be to not find anything in a so-called Archive, and yet I will apparently continue to have arguments with this stage's director.

Dion Lesage | Final Fantasy 16 | Current Player
[With the advent of spring and it’s sudden explosion of wildflowers, Dion feels curious. He knows that logically, he won’t find the specific flower he has in mind within the fields.He also knows that he shold be relieved by that fact. Nevertheless, he finds himself wandering along the edge of each cluster of flowers, peering down at each blossom before moving onto the next.
He knows he isn’t alone, there are plenty of others that are curious about the new blooms. Which is why when he sees something dart through the underbrush, he is immediately on edge. He watches the way the flowers ever so slightly shift beneath the path of whatever moves about, noting how it swiftly b-lines for someone nearby.
Whatever is out there, he won’t let it get near anyone. Removing his lance from his back, Dion carefully takes aim and chucks it. To an innocent bystander, it might look as if they’re being targeted. Instead, the lance falls just short, and with its impact comes a pained hiss, as the stony snake finds its head severed from its very neck.]
ii. I Thought I Wanted Fame — Natural Gardens
[One way or another, Dion finds his way to the garden. More than likely, he’s compelled by the plight of the healers, though he’s partial to one in particular. He searches desperately for any sign of a cure. Several flowers and plants have already been collected in hopes of even just alleviating the symptoms, but he has his doubts as to their potency.
The flowers guarded by a twin set of snakes, however? That might just be a good sign.
He approaches the snakes without fear, lance held in an outstretched hand. He pauses for a long moment, searching large, stony faces for signs of sentience. When they instead leap at him, he takes to the air, leaping up almost unnaturally high, before plummeting back down in a vertical plunge, spear first. The attack misses, the snakes too quick, but it’s clear that he means business.
Not that he intends to fight them alone. He shoots his gaze toward anyone who might be near, motioning with his head to the snake closest to them.]
Would you mind keeping this one busy for me?
iii. I Didn't Know I'd Lose — Natural Gardens: Closed to Joshua
[Unfortunately for Dion, the battle does not go is way. Perhaps it’s the wounds still plaguing him. Perhaps it’s the fact that he no longer has Bahamut’s abilities to rely upon. Either way, while he holds his own well enough, these are not your average beasts. There’s an intelligence there, and while one holds Dion at bay with a distraction, another creeps behind him.
He doesn’t realize he’s been bitten at first, merely feels something like an electrical shock on his good arm before he whips around to face the other snake. When he realizes he’s surrounded, he swiftly retreats, leaping into the air and arcing his body in a backward flip. He lands on the ground easily enough, ready to go again.
It’s only then that the pain hits. It sends him to his knees immediately, while his vision quickly begins to blur. He desperately tries to blink it away, only to find that when it does clear, the field he’s in has shifted. The flowers before him are different, now a stunning, lily-esque bloom. Some are pure white, while nearby some bloom purple. Others still seem almost crystalline.
For Dion, who had only just been seeking the very same flower, it feels like an immediate nightmare. He feels dizzy as he clutches his arm, trying to apply pressure to the wound. In the meanwhile, his teeth dig desperately into his lip, trying to keep from crying out as the snakes draw ever closer.]
iv. All My Loved Ones in Exchange — Wildcard
[You know what to do. Throw something random my way, hit me up on Discord or send me a PM here!]
iii
A knock on Dion's door reveals he isn't in, which means that he has a better chance of finding him by asking around. It is difficult to miss a man wielding a lance, and before long he gets a clue that directs him where to go next: the forest.
It's difficult to avoid the snakes. The thick leather of his boots shield his lower legs from errant bites, and his sword makes swift work of any that try to strike. But the deeper in he goes, the more anxious he gets. What if Dion is in trouble? What if he--
--was currently hobbling toward him, injured, with snakes closing in behind him? ]
Dion!
[ Joshua breaks into a run, the serpents behind him an immediate threat that needs to be dealt with. Dion clearly cannot. Something is wrong.
He darts in behind Dion, throwing out a shield that bubbles around them, keeping the snakes at bay. For now. ]
Dion, are you all right?!

[The first comes by accident, as Luca roams the fields of flowers. He has a notebook in hand, one filled with sketches and handwriting that isn’t his own. He holds it down to each new flower he comes across, trying to draw comparisons and coming up short. Occasionally he does bend to pick something, but it’s always the same yellow weed. The flowers of the dandelions he finds are each carefully pocketed, meant for some other unknown task.
It’s during one of these attempts that Luca finds himself distracted. There’s another patch of flowers ahead, and he swears they might actually be what Joshua had been looking for. In that second he feels something sharp and stinging on his wrist. He looks down, only to watch as the snake slides away.
The pain is almost unbearable. The only reason Luca is able to resist the urge to do more than gasp is because of experience. Perhaps not with venom, but he has suffered near death many times over. This is new, but it isn’t so foreign.
Clapping his hand over his wrist, he turns to anyone nearby.]
Mind your step. There are snakes about.
ii. When We're Lying In The Dirt — The Clinic
[Luca is largely certain that the second comes within the Bar, though he hardly remembers the incident. Perhaps he had been reaching for a bottle, or stoking the flames of the fire. Either way, he is bit upon the forearm, and promptly must have collapsed. He wakes three days later in the clinic, confused, cold, and aching.
Within his mind, the Phoenix grumbles a warning. It isn’t so sure it can keep managing the venom. Luca ignores it. He’s come back from worse than this.
Turning his head to any of the healers about (or perhaps a concerned visitor), he begins to address them.]
So. What must I do to convince you to let me leave?
iii. There's No Looking Up For Heaven — The Barns, Closed to Kiera
[It isn’t all unpleasant in the Grove, at least. Thanks to the shared memories of the month prior, Kiera and Luca seem to be in far better spirits, at least in terms of where their relationship lies. Perhaps that’s why he’s made his way to their barn and grabbed a pitchfork not to chase them down with for once, but to get to work.
They’re in the middle of cleaning up the barn when Luca spots a snake out of the corner of his eye. He shouldn’t be surprised — this is actually a normal place for a beast like this. That doesn’t mean it will get off easily though. He turns, shooting a quick burst of flame toward the creature.
Unfortunately, it licks easily off its stony hide, and makes its way toward Kiera.]
Ki -! [He cuts himself off. Even if he warned her, there wouldn’t be enough time. Instead, he leaps forward, stomping his boot down upon the tail of the snake, to pin it in place.] Move!
[The snake, however, has other plans. It whips back around, sinking its fangs into Luca’s knee. The pain is all but familiar now, and hits in an instant. But he doesn’t dare move, or let it get away.]
Freeze it. Shatter it, now!
iv. Waiting To Be Buried — Wildcard
[You know what to do! Throw me something random, message me on discord, or PM me your ideas!]
ii
[ Vanilla sounds oh-so-pleasant despite the circumstances, beaming down at his patient. It's the sort of smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes and promises pain beyond venom if he tries to escape. ]
I'm afraid you have been bitten twice, my friend. You are quite lucky to be awake.
[ He sees the Phoenix handling the venom, doing it's best to keep the worst of it at bay. It won't last for much longer, however, so- ]
However, now that you are, we can begin treating you. Please, drink this.
[ A small cup is held out. It sparkles lightly at the top like reflects of a sunset, and if a sunset had a smell this would be it. There's also the scent of flowers mixed in, Pure Vanilla having been one of the successful rolls to get flowers suck it, Suri. ]

Fern Mertens | Adventure Time | Current Character
[ Fern watches the guardian snakes from a surprisingly safe distance, though it's not that safe to be anywhere in the woods at all. He's been watching them with his new dragon eyes, trying to figure out his approach. The Grass Sword would have been really handy for cutting through stone monsters, but now he's hoping he can avoid combat altogether. Maybe if he's careful... ]
...Maybe I should just make a dash for it.
2. Flowers Picked Too Slow...
[ He got the flowers, he knows that much is true. The question is what happened after that? Why does his body hurt so much? Where is he?
...Oh, the clinic. Duh. ]
Whuh?
[ That's about all he can think to say as he drags his body upright in bed. Intense, mind-numbing pain has never stopped him before, and it's not going to stop him now. ]
ii.
He sits up himself as he hears the not-quite question, turning to look at the curtain separating them.]
Are you awake?

sidney wolfe | original | old player, new character
( this is not the estate. this is... not the grounds surrounding it either.
not enough nooses and nothing's on fire. none of the ciphers are around, and he can't feel the dread of a hunter nearby. what is there is- uh.
sidney balks at the blobby... creature flying through the air. what the fuck? what the fuck.
the more that he looks around, the stranger things feel, and he's deliberately not looking at that weird tree more than he needs to, he has experienced enough of the horrors. but in the distance he can see lights, so- it's got to be something close to civilization there, right?
he looks down at the flare gun in his hand. ... better not waste it. he starts moving. )
ii. serpentine
( ah, there's the danger. sidney was almost starting to miss it. rumors float about weird flowers being key to at least abetting the pain of venomous bites, and while he's never seen a snake bite do this much damage, he's always been a man of the people- and as a tracker and a marksman, he might be one of the best to have around for something like this.
he's got a decent bunch stored, a healthy variety, but then he hears it- the scrape of stone against the earth and underbrush, the hiss- but the greater stone snake isn't going for him.
it's as the beast bares it's fangs that sidney aims and fires a flare right into it's gemstone eye. )
Run!
iii. the work's never done
( by the time he makes it back to the grove, sidney's tired. he's got a bushel of flowers he does not know who to bring them to, a couple less flares, and a weird book. ... thing probably would'a been useful at the estate.
logic says he should rest. he came straight out of a hunter's game to this place, and immediately got to work... but rest is something that doesn't come easy to him, and there's still more to do. you can find the man
a. at the clinic or labs, dropping off the flowers to whoever may best make use of them.
b. in the archives, going over too many types of records to name while taking notes in a personal notebook.
c. going over said notes at the inn lobby.
please, sid, take a fucking break. )
iv. wildcard
( got an idea? hit me up! sidney is an original character largely inspired by identity v and as such some terms and concepts may be similar, but he and his are largely their own thing by now. he is a police detective from prohibition era new orleans, though he's highly disillusioned with his fellow officers. despite this and his freakish stoicism, sidney's very gentle with a heart of gold! he's also a workaholic. help him.
also sorry for the lack of icons. )
I. Wake Up!
He does eventually yank clear of the imprisonment, and brushing down his clothing with the palms of his hands elects to keep moving as quickly as possible. He half-stumbles between two trees, out towards the clearer trails…
…And directly, it seems, into the pathway of an armed individual. Immediately he holds his hands up to show his palms, a sheepish look on his face.]
I take it you got lost out here same as me, friend? It’s been… Quite the morning.

Hhhh what the fuck- ]
Oh dear, just what do you think you're doing? [ Said without a hint of concern. He sounds mostly amused, actually, and starts to limp over to Thorns. ] Those pests are quite dangerous, you know. Not that it's any of my business, you can carelessly handle things as you please, but my companion here would like it if you didn't end up getting bit in the middle of the Grove. I'm certainly not going to move your corpse. Too much of a hassle.
If you're going to die, can you do it closer to the forest~? Thank you.

valentine / original / current player, new character
[not too far from town, there's yowling. like, straight up angry cat yowling, except this is way too loud to be a regular-ass tiny house cat. anyone who approaches will find what is, indeed, a cat up a tree, only this cat is human-sized and mostly human-bodied.
most of the time, he's clinging to the bark with his one hand, but occasionally he dares to let go long enough to shoot a bolt of violet lightning down toward the base of the tree. the thing he is screaming at is, of course, one of the invasive snakes, which is currently doing its best to scale the tree after him. electricity doesn't do much to deter a creature made of stone, so the poor kitty is resigned to eventually use his big boy words.]
Leave me ALONE!! HEEEELP!!!
ii. greebles
[as everyone does, val eventually settles in to the inn. he's avoidant for the most part, like any feral cat, and tries his best to only linger in common areas when he's alone. at some point, either the crackle of the fireplace or the hum of the fridge will distract him from someone's entering. as soon as they enter the door or round the corner or whatnot, they'll catch him licking his hand and rubbing it down his nose.
half a second later, he makes eye contact (with just the one eye), and immediately poofs up in one hell of a bristle. the hair on the back of his neck and his tail stands on end and twitches, and his ears pull flat back against his head. the insides of his ears and the lighter parts of his face flush just like a human's, even if it's muted by the fur.]
Can I help you?
iii. wildcard
[[hey it's your boy weasel with a cringe-ass catboy. you know the drill, message me or just throw smth at me.
i have a visual ref on his permissions page enjoy]]
ii because i think this will be funny-
Bad news: Val might not be used to Terrans. Which is to say, while Val is acting defensive and probably rightfully so, Thorns — who looks ostensibly human overall, because Aegir are just like that — is walking by with a bottle of water, where something in his survival brain overtakes him completely and he stops in front of the coffee table and just
dumps the whole thing out over his own head.

mafuyu asahina ♡ project sekai ♡ oldbie
( it was early on in the attacks- enough so that of course mafuyu wouldn't know about the snakes at all, not notice the deernicorn's sudden worry and alertness until it was too late- she remembers fire and ice, every nerve screaming and the absolute agony of existence. she remembers fangs piercing skin. she remembers crumpling immediately with a scream, and then something on her shoulder-
when she comes to, it's staring at the clinic ceiling in bed, cold and numb and sore, the ferocious pain still lingering in her skin. )
... What...?
ii. the aftermath
( it's- hard to function, but the teas help. but there's that ugly sun on her ankle, another on her shoulder- she hates them both so very much. but even with rest, mafuyu is... restless. stir-crazy? maybe she just can't stand to be still after years of working every waking second.
she doesn't wander from the shrine's porch, safe from any way the snakes could creep up, but- it's still a little nervewracking. ... but it's not like mayoi is going to let her do anything but wander a bit, worried as he is.
from her perch, she watches. ... or maybe she's just staring into the distance. it's so very painful, and hard to do much else, after all. ... yeah no she's dissociating. )

clive rosfield | final fantasy 16 | oldbie
[ It's not an unfamiliar rage that burns inside of him to learn of Luca's death towards the snakes. He knows the other will come back, but it does nothing to temper Ifrits fire. It's... even worse than before, as it's someone he cares for deeply. It would be like losing Joshua or Jill, or even Gav.
A certain new bracelet dangles from his wrist, orange against the red of he founders grasp, as he secures his sword and heads for the edge of the forest. Though he stops the moment he's aware he's being followed. He knows who it is. ]
I'm not stopping.
[ Before his brother can try to talk him out of throwing himself at the snakes that are guarding the flower patch. He can't beat the fool God directly in it's face, but he can try to give others a chance - a distraction - at getting the flowers they're guarding. ]
ii. they should bring may flowers
[ And after the first time, he goes back. And he goes back. And back again, the fire of his rage burning bright still. Every moment he's out there gives someone else time to sneak in, to pick flowers, to spit in the eye of their deific guard dog.
Sooner or later, he's going to do a misstep, going to let his anger blind him, but for now? For now he merely lets Ifrit coat his arm in flames as he punches one of the large snakes dead in it's stupid stone face. Rock vs rock + fire = get fucked. Then swings his sword to the other, growling as it adds another pile of rubble at his feet.
They'll be back quickly and he pauses in that moment to breathe, sweating, eying the flowers. He... he has no idea which one of those are safe to pick. ]
iii. wildcard
( you know the rules and so do i )
i
As Dion had been. As so, so many in this town have.
He doesn't try to mask his steps, because he knows it's a futile effort. If Clive insists on going, then Joshua will be there to ensure he does not make a fool of himself.
As Clive stops, so does he. His shoulders square, as they had that day in Ash, but he does not accuse, does not raise his voice or his fist. ]
I know.
[ His tone is measured, firm. ]
I only want to make certain you do not get hurt, Clive. You are hurting, you are fueled by anger and vengeance, and if you are not careful, you are bound to make mistakes. So I am going with you. And you will not stop me.

Izuku Midoriya | MHA | New Player
Note 002: A Snake in the Grass
Wildcard
[ Nothing strike your fancy? Feel free to surprise me or throw a PM for plotting!! I can be reached @
wildcard— I DONT HAVE THE RIGHT ICON FOR THIS HAHA CW; MHA SPOILERS GALORE
There are times when he is subjected to the venom's influence.
At times, it's Tomura Shigaraki's hands wrapped around his neck - where he feels himself pulled back to that moment again. Being told the same thing over and over - That he is worthless, that he is nothing, that he will never be greater than what he is now. Every time he is pulled back to that moment in time by these delusions, Bakugo becomes desperate - he doesn't understand how him alone is not enough. He doesn't understand how he is not ENOUGH to do the things he knows he is full well and capable of doing. What about him is what caused his death? Why did it happen? Why did it come to this? His mind always draws him back to that moment, instanteous as it was - flickering through every possible cause that he could in order to squander the opportunities Tomura had before him - N O T H I N G.
There was nothing.
There were no options left.
Bakugo had given his all, and it wasn't enough.
Instead, he died pathetically.
Why was it that Izuku could always put his entire life on the line and come out of it shining? Why was everything always up to him alone to hold on his own? What was it about Bakugo that wasn't enough? What was it about him that couldn't reach beyond the rift that sat between them?
Why can't he reach for his hand back and help?
What the hell? Why wasn't he enough?
WHY WASN'T HE ENOUGH?
Katsuki Bakugo often took to his own space and tried to deal with the delusions within the grove on his own, even if he felt overly exhausted. Even if his body would struggle in the ways it made him feel. A few days were all that had passed, strangers all around him, ugly truths he did not understand or know how to face. Eggs.... There were times he convinced himself this was hell, and there were other times he convinced himself this was a joke - but he was just a lost kid who didn't understand anything and honestly wanted to go back home.
It's late, and it's nearly time to turn in for the evening. Bakugo stomps into the ground with every step he takes, wearing his Pro Hero gear. It makes him stand out, for one, but he is admist handling a patrol around the perimeter he has signed up for. Committed always to any job or task given to him, he had dressed the part, especially under these circumstances. Bakugo wanted to ensure that these snakes wouldn't bite anyone and that nothing worse would happen. Considering all the strange phenomena that continued to take place around them...
It's quiet now as he continues his patrol when he catches something in the distance now. Turning a corner into a clearing, he saw the way the figure held himself there in a stance that Bakugo was very familiar with. That something was there, something way too familiar. Bakugo always had a knack for knowing when its him, whether it was because they were always watching one another or something otherwise innate. Seeing that figure standing there gave Bakugo a sudden flicker of hope - was it him?
Thoughts churn in his head, and Bakugo panics slightly. No. No... Nononono - NO, he can't be dead too. After all, HE DIED. Pathetically so. If they were here, then wouldn't that mean - He was dead too? Or was this all just another cause of the Venom in his veins?
Another step forward, he kicks with a loaded blast escaping from his gloved hand. It's instantaneous and made without a second moment's thought. Bakugo moves quickly, his face expressed in a way that is both bewildered but extremely strained. The Hero who died, aims to make himself come to this figure immediately. Certain that this was another fixation of the venom in his veins. By this point, Bakugo was half-convinced he was getting worse and finally beginning to lose it.
He can't do this, not after everything that has just happened. Even he would crack under this sort of pressure.
Bakugo is so unbelievably gone; the feelings of his whole life up to this moment weighed on him heavily, and when Bakugo died there in that Coffin, all he could think of in his final moments...
About how he wanted to stand beside Izuku and reach for the top together... How much Izuku actually meant to him. How he wants nothing more than to start that Hero Agency together alongside him. Bakugo wants everything Izuku wanted, and to finally reach that hand back out and ask him the same question Izuku asked back when they were kids.
Katsuki Bakugo is fast, storming toward Izuku Midoriya - an existence he's not even sure is real or just a figment of his imagination. He means to drive his fist straight into that figure, knowing that if this really is the Deku he knows, the fight that's about to break out will give Bakugo the answer he's looking for. Bakguo is desperate for it, almost with a need for hope to know - this is who he thinks it is. ]
