Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

[He makes a face.]

You some kinda masochist?

Re: Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

No, but I could record the fight and get some great footage for my upcoming movie.

[hot_handed]

Do I LOOK like an actor to you?!

....









How much does it pay?

Re: Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

Are you interested in participating? I'm sure we could negotiate some sort of fee.

Re: Video

[hot_handed]

Depends. I ain't cheap.

Re: Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

Name your price.

Video

[hot_handed]

America uses dollars, right? What's your anticipated profit?

Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

That's not the intention of this film. It's more of a performance piece, not for profit.

It will be to showcase my powers. You would, of course, be playing the villain.

[hot_handed]

WHAT?!?!

I ain't a villain! If you're not making a profit then what do I get outta it?!

Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

As I said, I can give you a fee. Maybe some notoriety.

What can you do, anyway? Can you fly?

Re: Video

[hot_handed]

I want fame and free food!

I'll show ya what I can do. Meet me at- shit. Where's a good place to meet?!

Video

[mysterioisthetruth]

I can provide food.

What city are you in? We can meet by the Porter.

Re: Video

[hot_handed]

It better be good food! I want real burgers and curry, none of that convenience store crap!

Nonah. Fine. Don't be late or I'll kill you.

[Action!]

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Once Beck arrives, he's carrying a bag of food - decent burgers with the lot and fries and bottles of cola, no curry. He doesn't always follow instructions - or demands. He's dressed in his superhero costume - lit-up chestplate, gold boots, heavy burgundy cape - although for now he is unmasked so there's no helmet in sight. He looks around for Katsuki.]

[Action!]

[hot_handed]

[Katsuki arrives in his costume as well. He slouches but straightens up a bit and kind of pauses when he sees Beck's costume.]

What are you supposed to be?

[He notices the food though, and his eyes light up in the process.]

[mysterioisthetruth]

I'm a superhero, of course. One of the Avengers.

[He holds out his free hand.]

We weren't properly introduced. I'm Quentin Beck. You can also call me Mysterio.

[hot_handed]

I don't know what that means!

[He just stares at his hand.]

The only thing mysterious about you is why you think those colors would go together.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[Pulling his hand back, he actually smiles broadly at that.]

Starting your villainy early, huh? Criticising my fashion sense.

[hot_handed]

[There's nothing friendly about the way Katsuki smiles and bares his teeth.]

Sure you wanna call me a villain? I might kill you.

[mysterioisthetruth]

[He tilts his head as if considering that - then raises his hand, holding up the bag of food.]

Maybe after we eat.

[hot_handed]

Fine. But you shouldn't eat too much before a big fight. You're more likely to get cramps and your body will be too busy digesting everything to fight at an optimum level.

[mysterioisthetruth]

Oh, don't worry about me.

[He waves it away.]

I'm the hero. I'll still beat you.

[Such confidence, skipping over the border into arrogance.]

[hot_handed]

...You sure you're supposed to be out? Because you sound fucking crazy.

[mysterioisthetruth]

You haven't yet seen what I can do.

[hot_handed]

Right back at ya.

Let's eat, hero.
