[OPEN] Clothes Shopping/Cafe Millennia Mingle

[odinpusrex]

WHO: Everyone!
WHEN: Early-Mid July
WHERE: Roxx & Cafe Millennia!
WHAT: Shopping and Cafe'ing!
NOTES\WARNINGS: No warnings for now, will update as needed!

With the new haul of arrivals comes the obvious need for new clothes! After all, whatever they showed up in might not facilitate daily living, or at the very least comfort. Fortunately for everyone, new or otherwise, there is Roxx! The range of fashion available is...interesting, considering how it seems to reflect the worlds each person is from, leaving no one wanting in terms of variety. Apparently updating when new people from different worlds arrive. Pretty convenient, that. As fortunate as it is, it might also be overwhelming, depending on who you ask. But perhaps that's where others might be of help! For the fashionably challenged, there might be an angel of fashion waiting to help you out.

With it being summer, there's also swimwear to be considered, especially with the chance of pool parties in the imminent future. Some styles may seem familiar, while others outlandish by your world's standards. Just like any of the clothes really, seeing as one can find clothing that is uncomfortably close to their personal style. In fact, they might very well find their exact outfit here from the looks of it. How odd!

After all their shopping shenanigans, people might find themselves migrating over to the new cafe that Sandalphon opened called Cafe Millennia. A perfect place to continue enjoying each other's company after a fruitful bit of clothes shopping! Or maybe that's where you've started at, coffee first, shopping after. There really is no wrong way to do it!

(ooc: Hey there, just wanted to toss up a little log for people who maybe wanted to do some clothes shopping or cafe threads with the possibility of running into random people! Just some low effort shenanigans and fun! Please feel free to use this log as you see fit, make your own top levels, tag around, whatever!)

3/3

[utinam]

"Are you okay!?" she'll begin to ask as she examines the temperature using the skin of his hands with her own cold ones. She'll feel similar to someone going through hypothermia or worse. Her sky-blue eyes will open wide at noticing the scars. An alarm will sound inside her head for a moment, believing she was the cause of it. What has she done!? Did her clouds begin acidic again? She hopes not!

His flush nearly blots out his freckles. His scars are as healed over as they can get, but they are permanent and very noticeable on his right hand.

He yelps slightly at how cold she feels, but hey, maybe that's just part of her cloud Quirk. Anyone who doesn't look like a standard human or has powers, Izuku thinks of them as just humans with Quirks. It's only recently upon arriving in this world that he learned about the possibility of other species.

"I-I'm fine!" he squeaks. Yes, it feels like his hands are wrapped in ice, but he's in no pain yet! This is fine! "Just surprised!'

[utinam]

He was surprised? Nuvia couldn't help continue carefully watching him, making absolute certain he was telling the truth. His reaction wasn't unusual since she was used to surprising others, but normally it would turn into fear or hatred just as quickly. Her gaze will continue to show concern, even when knowing she was safer in this world compared to her own. People have been accepting her. She shouldn't lose hope...

That's what she keeps telling herself, actively knowing it was a bad idea to hold any type of expectations for something positive to come out of this situation when it never has...

Shaking her head, she'll concentrate on the boy's hand hoping it'll help cool him a little from his red face. Upon closer inspection, she'll find his injuries aren't recent. "...what happened to you hand?" she'll ask out of curiosity, hoping to distract him a bit.

cw: finger injury mention

[wannasmash]

His reaction doesn't inspire confidence, though he is technically telling the truth. He's fine... enough. His teeth chatter with the cold, but he forgets to mention it to her.

"Oh I uh... that's an old injury. I was helping a friend. I uh, overdid it."

An understatement. Recovery Girl got so fed up with him breaking his fingers that she said she refused to heal this type of injury until he learned how to fight without doing it.

[utinam]

"How?" was her next question because she wanted to understand how someone can overdo it in helping someone else especially a friend. Even though she had an inkling suspicion that the cause of his old injury may be personal, she was far too invested to apologize or back off at this point -- she was worried about him now.

[wannasmash]

He tries to mince the words as best he can, but there's no denying that mixed company sometimes doesn't want to hear about finger injuries.

"Uh... you know how when you lift too much or land wrong on something, you strain it? My Quirk is like that, except it broke my hand, from the inside."

He finally can't stand the cold anymore, and it's way too long to be randomly in contact with a stranger, so he tries to wriggle his fingers free.

[utinam]

When she feels his attempt on getting freed from her grasp, Nuvia will look alarmed as she pulls away not realizing she was touching him for so long. Oops. But learning he had broken his hand from the inside, she couldn't help wondering,

"How long have you had these injuries for?"

Could she possibly heal him, will be the words left unsaid. She wanted to help him. Whatever this quirk was, it didn't sound safe to use. She'd tell him to stop using it but decided not to because she didn't want to sound like she was scolding him.

[wannasmash]

"About a year--wow, it's really been that long... But they've been healed as much as they're able. My school has someone who's one of the best Heroes, and it's thanks to her healing acceleration Quirk that the students can even do dangerous training in the first place."

He flexes his fingers and rubs the cold out of them. "So now it's up to me to continue building strength and be careful not to have the same sort of injury again. I use my Quirk differently now. I trained myself to control it better."

[utinam]

Nuvia listens intently, her eyes reflecting her admiration. “It’s incredible to hear how far you’ve come. A whole year of healing and training—your dedication is truly inspiring. I can see the effort in the way you speak and the way you’re flexing your fingers. It’s clear you’ve made a lot of progress.”

She smiles, her voice soft but firm. “If you’re talking about it like this, I trust that you’re on the right path. I hope you continue to grow stronger and master whatever a Quirk is. It sounds like you’re doing everything you can to ensure you don’t face the same challenges again.”

[wannasmash]

So wholesome...! It's unexpected, but he smiles.

"I had a lot of help from my teachers and friends," he says humbly, a little abashed. "Thank you for saying so!"

He learned how to move his hand from the physical therapy exercises he was given. While his words were nowhere near charismatic enough for a Hero interview, they seemed to inspire her anyway. Izuku will call that a win.
