[ He nods. Better for various reasons they don't. ]

Yeah, sure. Wonder what this one does? [ He doesn't mind watching him again though, smile returning to his face. ]

[handsheld]

He's an ice guy. There's someone I recently picked up who has a pretty similar quirk but I think they hate me.

[ He says this with his usual nonchalance, and besides there's much more interesting things to see like freezing someone and then popping their head off. ]

...I wonder if you'd even bleed like that after getting frozen solid?

[divector]

Must be fun at parties. [ Which is a thing to say when the only parties he's ever been part of were on this archipelago. Anyway, he tilts his head at that fatality, amused at the sight. ]

I've never met anyone with the ability to freeze someone. Frostbite reduces blood flow...so if someone's frozen solid, maybe it'd be a more extreme version of that? [ Now he's curious. ]

My first thought would be shattering though. The creators of this game sure have creative minds.

[handsheld]

[ A short laugh in agreement. His only experience with parties are League ones so... skewed in a similar way. ]

Mine too, but that's how my quirk works. At least it's flashy.

Wanna give it a go now? [ Holds his hand out to offer the psp. ]

[divector]

Mmhm, sure is. [ Flashy indeed. He takes the PSP offered with a nod. ] And yeah, I'll try.

[ Without further ado, he chooses Scorpion. While he can't do any flashy combos, he does have a decent sense of when to back away and when to go for the attack. Eventually, with a "Get over here!", he sets up a fatality of his own. ]

Ah, there goes his limbs. Well, half of them. [ A beat. ] Somehow, I was expecting more limbs to come off there.

[handsheld]

Me too. It's not as messy, but I feel like a normal person could do that if they pulled really hard. Pick another, there's gotta be one where they lose all their limbs.

[divector]

Yeah, let's see what this one does. Huh, what an oddly-shaped blade.

[ He ends up chooses Kabal for the next match, now a little faster at getting a fatality. The spinning is so absurd that it makes him laugh a bit. ]

I think that counts? Everything did go flying that time.

[handsheld]

[ Jeez that's so... stupid looking? If he knew what a shawarma maker was he'd call it that, but as he does not, he just cracks up laughing instead. ]

That almost made me dizzy!

[divector]

[ Hearing that just gets him laughing even more, the giggles not stopping as he tries to continue talking. ]

Yeah, that was so much spinning? [ Almost makes him want to try to spin that fast. ] They sure have some wild ideas about how limbs come off.

[handsheld]

They don't come off that way I'm pretty sure.

[ He's almost tempted to try it next time, but his quirk will always be his favorite. ]

Try one of the women next!

[divector]

When physics gets in the way of things flying. [ Anyways, with a nod, he selects Kira for the next battle. ] Here goes.

[ This time he finishes with Kira's fatality, raising an eyebrow when she yeets half of the opponent to who-knows-where. ]

Those blades didn't look like they nailed him down enough for that, but sometimes you just really want something out of there.

[ Leaning towards Shigaraki again, Ibuki holds out the PSP, wordlessly asking what he wants to do now. ]

[handsheld]

Huh. Maybe Magne could have done that?

[ How do you rip off someone's torso so cleanly...??

After a moment he shrugs and takes the PSP. ]

Time for a different type of destruction. [ Give him a moment to swap games, it's Katamari time. ]

[divector]

Hmm, I think it's not out of the ordinary with enough opposing force? Just need them to be really rooted there first.

[ Probably could pull it off with his psychokinesis at full power? But at the same time, cleaning that off his clothes would be gross. Downsides, downsides. ]

So Katamari time then? [ Still leaning, because why not. He's sure in good spirits. ]

[handsheld]

Yeah. There's no blood and gore but it doesn't need 'em.

[ im on plane wifi so forgive the no linking of the Katamari OP but it's here.

he doesn't mind the leaning obviously, the good mood contagious. ]

The musics pretty catchy too.

[divector]

How strangely ominous.

[ Looks like it has enough going on visually even without that? He's not sure what he's looking at half the time, but it doesn't take him long to just shrug and happily roll with it. ]

I think that music's going to be stuck in my head for a while. So I assume that tiny one is the one putting the work in here?

[ If anything he's even more giddy, like the sight of a katamari gave him an energy boost. Or maybe it's the Prince. So green and adorable...something about him would make a cute plushie. Or both. Probably both, really. ]

[handsheld]

Yeah, he's rolling the universe up cuz his dad destroyed all the stars. Even after you destroy things you can have a good time, huh?

[ He's only realizing that now or maybe only being aware of it now. ]

For now we can start with this house! [ The katamari is roughly cat sized and speaking of... yeah he's rolling up the house cat. ]

[divector]

Sounds like fun to me, yeah. Must be cathartic.

[ Even if he has to do it to clean up after his parents, the concept of rolling things up for even more destruction after the starts were already destroyed? Priceless. He loves it already. ]

And so the cat joins in. Wonder if they can eat some of the sushi around? [ A beat. He's suddenly reminded of a certain house (?) cat (?). Thoughts of Athos drifts through his mind as he continues commenting on everything new going into the katamari. There's...thoughts there he doesn't quite want to get into at the moment. Katamari's right there after all. But eventually he decides he might as well ask. Even if it sounds like it's coming out of nowhere. ]

Hey, do you know what happened with Athos? [ And because he's still trying to parse this item being rolled up as well. ] ...Cat-free bottle?

[handsheld]

Bottle what? [ As for Athos give him a second, he's trying to make sure he rolls up all these houseplants in one go. ]

Dunno bout Athos, but I haven't seen him. The ostrich probably took care of him is my guess.

[divector]

Cat-free. [ What does that even mean? ] I think you rolled something by that name earlier. Now if only those were catnip to counter it.

[ This makes sense in his head, somehow. But it's a nicer thing to focus on, because hmm. Hmm. He does not like the sound of that! So much so that it takes him a bit to respond. ]

Hmm, that'd explain why I couldn't find him. I thought he'd still be around because of the other animals, so I was planning on looking after him.

[ Okay, yeah, letting Athos freely roam would probably lead to injuries, but at the same time, Ibuki thinks his feelings of wanting to fight people are valid? On the other hand, he can't say none of the group would kill Athos if he attacks... Or even if he doesn't attack.

Realizing he's getting distracted again, he tries to refocus on the game, staring intently at the next items being rolled up. He doesn't think Shigaraki is lying about that, so that means any further inquiries should go to Overhaul. So...refocusing. ]

[handsheld]

[ There's only one reason Overhaul takes things... Ibuki's probably figured out most of it by now though, so. ]

You'd be better off not seein' him again. [ Cuz... yeah. He rolls merrily along finishing the level, cat nip included. ]

Wanna give it a go?

1/2

[divector]

Mm, sounds like it. [ Not quite an agreement, but not a disagreement either. For a moment, he remembers how commonplace it is to suddenly never see someone again in that research facility. ]

[divector]

[ But that one moment is enough. Because, yeah, he doesn't want to go there. He's handled this before, he can handle this again. His feelings of pity do exist, but no need to overthink it. That's just unfair to Athos when he doesn't have a solution on hand. Feelings alone never solved things. And it's also unfair to Shigaraki since it's gaming time.

So Ibuki smiles like he always does, nodding. ]

Yeah, considering how the house looks, I'm curious at how cluttered the next level will be. Maybe I can roll up stuff floating high in the air?

[ He's definitely ready to take the PSP and happily roll up everything in that level. ]

[handsheld]

I'd worry 'bout cars first. And go-karts. Dealin' with it all as it comes, is a valid play.

[ He hands over the psp, and now it's his turn to lean, actually leaning here since he's not shy about anything.

Maybe it's part distraction, but it's just as likely that he wants to be cozy. ]

[divector]

Oh? It's almost like there's a curse on go-karts here.

[ The thought of rolling up go-karts is enough to get him to flash a toothy grin.

He takes the PSP to start up the next level, reflexively relaxing when he leans on him. A greater sense of calm settles inside his mind. Right, one thing at a time. Might as well be comfy, especially when things will be busy after this. ]

At least I like to think I'm pretty good at not crashing go-karts. That's fun in its own way—

[ Guess who almost immediately dashes straight into a bunch of caramel pudding and boxed chocolate? Good thing the picnic box stopping the katamari doesn't send the sweets flying. ]

—But I do want a big star, so I better roll up more than I collide.

[ Which, according to his next moves, involve rolling over an inordinate amount of wallets lying next to a vending machine. ]

[handsheld]

[ He's laughing a bit at things flying about, but it's all in good fun cause that's the nature of this katamari. ]

Don't forget to get the bones along with the cash.
