You were almost eaten??! That's horrible! I'm glad you and your group members got out safely.

Would you mind telling me more about what happened when you found the women? This sounds like something everyone needs to be aware of if they go into the forest.

well, you know. ei-chan is pretty much immune to being eaten. i got some drool on my clothes though. it was super gross!

[Also she may or may not have slapped Joshua ~~the thread is still ongoing~~. She's just trying to put things in a way that was more funny than terrifying.]

there's not much else to add. when we heard the singing it was like i wasn't worried at all? approaching them almost seemed like a good idea even though a part of me knew it wasn't. i managed to snap out of it when i realized what was going to happen to the people with me if i didn't.

i'm not sure how helpful this is. but it's weird that this happened because as an esper i'm supposed to have a natural resistance to mind control? [Especially as a part of Japan's strongest esper team.]

but like, here's the weirdest thing and why i really needed to talk to you besides making sure you're okay.

they disappeared into dust after we hit them, but i managed to snag some hair and bring it back. i have a friend from home who i knew could tell me more about them and she says these things sort of...don't seem like they existed before? like they were just PUT there for us to run into.

Ei-chan...? You mean Kirishima-kun?

[Sorry, Kaoru. He's a little distracted by that. He'll get back to the important stuff as soon as his curiosity's been satisfied, promise!]

yeah!

[Honestly it started as a joke but after calling him that a few times (read: once) it's become a habit. She's not 100% certain why this is more important than the banshees, but hey. She'll just roll with it.]

i think if the banshees ate him, he'd probably give them indigestion. he even decided getting bitten by a wolf was the best way to get their teeth!

[Curiosity satisfied, Izuku ends that Very Important Detour and focuses on the banshees again.]

Banshees...I remember reading about those a long time ago. I'm kind of fuzzy on the details, but they were from mythology. Actually, it seems as if several of the creatures everyone came across were from mythology of some kind.

Wait...how can your friend tell?

really? that can't be just a coincidence, right?

[Psychometry. But since that's not something Shiho is comfortable talking about...]

shiho was an apprentice to a super natural creature expert.

If what you said is right, and they were created... then that means whoever is making them is drawing inspiration from certain sources.

Shiho...you mean Sannomiya-san? You two are from the same world?

huh. i hadn't thought of that...but that makes a lot of sense.

yeah! we've been friends since we were really little!

So you're the friend she mentioned last time. It's great that you have each other here.

I know I said it before, but I really miss the internet. It'd be a lot easier to look up mythological creatures like this and prepare ourselves if we had access to that information here.

i'm glad she's here. when we're together it's like we can do anything! if aoi were here to we'd be unstoppable!

yeah. that would be really useful...but maybe there are other people who might know more. i've met some people who can use magic and all that. maybe they'll know more?

I have friends here I feel the same way about. What's Aoi-san like?

It's possible! We had quirks back home, but we've never had to deal with monsters like this. Or maybe, if we manage to complete that one quest, we could check the library for information. If the forest has so many monsters, created or not, then it makes sense that the people who lived here before might have run into them.

[Oh, boy. You just had to ask...]

aoi is really smart! she always has the best score out of the three of us whenever there's a test! she's cute! and she wears glasses! and when she gets angry she sometimes makes people hang upside down in the air! she's also kind of petty. probably even more than shiho.

but she's dependable in a pinch. she may panic but she's the best at keeping a cool head! and she's loyal and brave. if you're her friend she'll never let you down and she'll always choose to stand beside you no matter what happens.

[She could easily give you the same sort of tl;dr about Shiho if asked.]

oh, i hadn't thought of the library! it'd be nice if we could see what's in there...hopefully enough people can complete that quest! i want to know more about the people who were here before too...

[Wow, Kaoru, that's So Much.]

I wish I could meet her. Not that I'd want her to get dragged into this place and have to deal with everything that's happening.

I hope so! To both of those. It would helpful if we could actually get some information from the books here.

[She just loves her friends a lot.]

she's probably mad that she's been left out, so i don't think she'd mind too much being here.

[Because Aoi doesn't like feeling left out and she liked leaving Kaoru and Shiho on their own in a difficult situation even less. Even if Kaoru would prefer she stayed home where it was safer, she knew it wasn't what Aoi would want.]

it'd be nice to have something else to read besides the forums.

I think so, too.

As fun as it could be to read everyone's thoughts on this place, I've missed having books around.

Are you working on the written word quest? It's hard to keep track of the groups sometimes.

[...hah. 'Reading people's thoughts'. For a moment Kaoru had seen those words and been confused but, of course, he meant literally reading what people thought on the forums.]

people sure say a lot on the internet! i wonder if there's anyone who'll use the anonymity of the hexcodes to say weird things?

[Even if there were she was the last person who had the right to complain about it...]

shiho and i were asked by iida-kun to complete it together!

If they've kept quiet until now, they could. I think Keith-kun and I managed to get a pretty good list of the codes when we swapped info, though. Besides, most of us ended up introducing ourselves on the forum at some point.

Oh, you did the quest with Iida-kun? We should be close to reaching five groups between all of us, then.

oh! you have a list like that? that must be useful!

it'd be great if we could do this! did you do the quest too?

I thought it would be important to know these, so I started keeping a list. Want me to send you what I have?

Yeah, with Egbert-kun and Yaoyorozu-san!

that'd be great! i have so much trouble remember who is who...

i see i see! how did you guys decide to do it?

Hold on, let me copy paste what I have...

We decided the quest probably wanted us to share a story that meant something to us? Like something important that happened to us!
