Warden Time!

Who: Mamika + The Warden Crew! (This could be you!!!)
What: Talking to the Warden
When: Beginning of May
Where: The Forest
Warnings: Will be in the header as they come up

[ Neo Eden is officially gone and everyone is back in the Grove, and Mamika, of course, has been planning her trip to the Forest all last month. She has...a LOT of things prepared. Food and blankets and extra clothes and lanterns and even stuff like hand fans and wilderness books. Overprepped and ready to go! The afternoon before, Mamika writes a message in the notebook. ]

Everyone, please sleep well! Please meet up with me by the well in the morning if you want to talk to the Mister Hooldin.

[ Warden. She's doing her best.

Regardless, she put together a bunch of packs with said stuff shoved in them, and Mamika is handing all of them off to people who show up with a little smile. She's still in her school outfit, but her magical wand is out. She probably intends to transform before they actually go out into the woods. Understandably. ]


Okay! Um... so... I'm not really sure what to expect out there! But... we're gonna do our best to talk to him and hopefully convince him to come to the Grove. Someone might have to talk to Miss Mooselady, too, because I don't think they like each other that much, but... um!! I think we can do this!

We should still have things planned in case things go horribly wrong, though...

[ Bakugo has his stupid Hero Uniform on, despite his usually uncool temper, he's rather mild right now and just here to follow suit for the time being. ]

I'm just here to beat shit up if it comes to it, also, to make sure no one dies.

From what I've gleaned, the guy isn't going to be happy to see us?
ghostharasser: Art by me! (260)

[personal profile] ghostharasser 2025-05-02 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Probably not, since the last time we met it tried to kill us and I unloaded a shotgun into it.

Eh? That so? [ He punches his own palm, a bit excitedly. ] We might not be itching for a fight, but he might be? Say less.
ichoosefight: (something is amiss)

I'm legally obligated to do this

[ It's not any more heinous than some of the costumes Steph has seen. The headpiece is interesting though. She reaches out to poke one of the flaps. ]

Doesn't that feel weird when you move around? They look heavy.
nitrotempered: (d43)

LMAO perfect

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-03 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It is heavy. [ The whole get-up is heavy, and it is heavy on purpose. ] Don't touch my shit lady, I'm not a exhibit.
ichoosefight: (got the call)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-05-05 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She resists the urge to continue poking. They are very flappy. ]

I'm just curious. Did you design it yourself, or did someone else?
nitrotempered: (d86)

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-05 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I did, but this is the 3rd variant. We send the designs to people who can bring 'em to life and work on tweaking our needs accordingly. [ He taps on the X on his chest, with two circles on it in black. ] Thats why on mine there are two dots, the damn designer added their flair to it.
ichoosefight: (I did good right?)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-05-09 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Frankly, so many costumes have weird stuff that only make sense to the person who designed them that she didn't even wonder about that. ]

That's pretty cool, though, you've got professionals to help design your stuff. I've seen some pretty lame costumes running around, you know. Not that that's anywhere near the biggest problem with Condiment King.

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-09 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Condiment King? Not sure what about his costume would make you judge it harshly.
ichoosefight: (not right NOW)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-05-13 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Partly it's the salt shakers poking out from his head.

[ She puts her hands up to her head, index fingers pointed out to the sides, to illustrate. ]
nitrotempered: (m18)

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-29 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it works for him, don't see what the problem is? We have a Washing Machine Hero where I'm from - the guy's top 20.
ichoosefight: (let me lay it out for you)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-05-29 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, he's being really defensive of some terrible fashion choices. ]

Well, the biggest problem is that he's a criminal. And not a very good one. He keeps getting let out on parole because the courts don't take him seriously, and then he's right back to shooting pepperspray at bank employees and mustard at everything in sight. The guy is a menace.
nitrotempered: (d42)

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-30 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, your justice system sucks. [ That's saying something because its not like MHA's is any better actually... ]
ichoosefight: (sometimes donuts aren't enough)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-05-30 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She huffs. Legal systems don't get much worse than Gotham. ]

Yeah, welcome to my life.
nitrotempered: (m6)

[personal profile] nitrotempered 2025-05-31 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Not like it matters here though, all of that. Even me being a Hero. Only say it so people know what I'm about.
ichoosefight: (not right NOW)

[personal profile] ichoosefight 2025-06-11 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Right... yeah. Good point.

[ He's not wrong. Having a secret identity here is more of a problem than a solution. But how does she know not having one won't be a bigger problem later on? They're not going to be stuck here forever. They're not.

...That was totally what he was talking about, for sure. ]
