[ video starts and you are met with one Katsuki Bakugou; if you happen to know him, he does look a bit different: blue hair, golden eyes. And a big bright smile, hands on his hips and very excited.

That is absolutely not Bakugou. In fact, the ID attached to this post says "Rimuru Tempest". ]

Hi, Rimuru here! Recently I got the chance to use one of my powers! [ he now poses, to show his arms and back ] I got some muscles, isn't that cool?! [ ahem- ] Having a streamlined body of a slime is a lot of fun, but looking like this isn't so bad. Thank you for letting me borrow this look, Bakugou. [ weeeeeell, to be honest, he didn't ask for permission. ]

But copying someone's form isn't all! I was trying few things today and I've decided to try mixing forms together, and guess what - [ Rimuru reaches to the top of his head and two cat ears suddenly come out. And a tail shows up at the end of his back too, to match. ] I can combine two forms I've acquired. Which gives me a lot of possibilities, maybe I can sprout some wings? [ and as he says that, he moves his head so the ears will move as well, while the tail swings from side to side.

And suddenly he stops, a small smirk showing up ] I guess I am now... Cat-suki! [ he is having way too much fun with this ]

[Katsuki opens his mouth, ready to say something. Having someone else wear his face is bad enough. But then Rimuru (somehow) manages to make it even worse and he almost forgets what he was saying.]

What the fu-

WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU, SLIMEBALL, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!

MY NAME AIN'T A PUN!!

YOU AND ME. NOW.

[rimuru]

Didn't we already go through that once?


And Cat-suki is a great pun, you should appreciate it.

[hot_handed]

GET READY FOR ROUND TWO!!!

It's- shut up! And get rid of those ears!

[rimuru]

hmm-mmm~ [ he thinks about teasing him a bit more, but decides not to. Instead of the ears disappearing, Rimuru turns back to "his" usual human-form (which wasn't actually his either at first), but he keeps the ears. Just because he finds them cute ]

Isn't it useful, to fight against yourself? You can surpass yourself and find new ways to fight.

[hot_handed]

...Is it gone for good?

[He scoffs.]

I can find new ways to fight without a Copy-Cat like you.

[rimuru]

Wah, that's a pun too! See, you are not that serious!! [ maybe it wasn't on purpose, but he doesn't care ]

2/2

[rimuru]

I can keep the form until I replace it for another one. But I can only use your powers for 30 minutes. [ he shrugs ] I'd have to eat you again, if I wanted to get them again.

If you are interested.

[hot_handed]

Why would I want you to eat me again?

[He's staring at Rimuru like he grew an extra head.]

And I'm always serious!

[rimuru]

I told you, to train! Fighting against yourself is a good way to train. [ he did it back in his world, too .]

[hot_handed]

You're not me.

[rimuru]

[ he sighs. Seriously, lighten up]

Alright, then. I'm not going to insist.

[hot_handed]

As long as you shut up.

[rimuru]

[..........

He just turns into Bakugou again. The ears are still on top of his head too.

And then he makes a cute pose]

Nyan~

[timehit]

[ Well, well. That face almost looks like one of his roommates. ]

And how exactly did you pull this off? Touch, proximity?

video;

[rimuru]

I ate him! [ he sounds proud of himself too! ]

I'm a slime, so I can swallow people easily. One of my skills will allow me to then copy the person's appearance and their powers.

[timehit]

That sounds useful. And what about the person you imbibe?

No offense, but I imagine there's some struggle involved in this process, as not everyone wants to be devoured by an amorphous blob. Does your body excrete some kind of defensive fluid?

[rimuru]

They can either remain inside my Stomach, or I spit them out. I'd rather spit them out, to be honest... [ his pocket-dimension space shouldn't be to hold people in there, he thinks ] But I can use their form whenever I want. [ there are limits to this, but Rimuru decides not to mention them.

He is friendly, but he plays his cards the right way ]

No, nothing like that. My Stomach is like a hammerspace - or a pocket dimension if you'd rather call it that. So once I absorb someone, they are sent there. [ and look, Bakugou DID fight a lot, thankfully Rimuru's "Stomach" isn't an actual physical stomach ]

[timehit]

Interesting.

[ And dangerous. Being digested is one thing, Five thinks, but isolation in some kind of prison dimension? Now that could be worse by far, if his personal experiences are anything to compare it to. ]

So, what was the thinking behind this? Some kind of prank or punishment, I'm guessing.

[rimuru]

[ well, Rimuru wouldn't do that unless it was someone who deserved it. And so far only one person did, and he was an asshole. But all that happened back in Rimuru's world, and he has no plans on doing that here ]

Oh, not like that. I mean.... well, I AM teasing him. [ he laughs ] Bakugou gets fired up a lot.

But this is the first time I'm trying out this power in this world.

[timehit]

Sensible. Considering we've been injected with nanites, there's a chance for fluctuations in any abilities carried over.

[ There's a wry twist of his mouth when imagining his roommate being devoured by the whims of a slime, but. His gaze stays fixed and intent, as if he's trying to puzzle this person out. ]

All of that said, however, you could've picked an easier target. Someone more...agreeable, if you will.

[rimuru]

He was the first one to actually to want to fight me. [ he smiles a little ] Most people look at me and think I'm just a blob.

[ in fact, "Bakugou" will start melting and suddenly there is a round blue blob on the screen ] I don't mind it, but I think most are missing out!

[timehit]

[ As a member of the Academy, it's safe to say that Five has seen his fair share of oddities, but this is enough to make him raise his eyebrows at least. ]

Well, there's no accounting for idiocy I suppose. [ Headstrong dipshits are always the first to make a mistake. Reminds him of Diego, a little. ] I wonder how many more will try to take you on, now that you've publicly handed his ass to him.

[rimuru]

[ he chuckles ] No, no, it was all just friendly! He is a good kid, Strong too. It was fun to fight him. Even if he is loud. [ so so SO loud ]

But I'm hoping after this I can help out. Be a hero and all that - that's why we were brought here, right?

[timehit]

[ Five has his doubts when it comes to why they're all really here, but for now he'll let it go. ]

You're going to be a superhero?

[rimuru]

I'm not sure what else I should be doing. I'm just a slime, after all.

[timehit]

Well, what were you doing before? Being a superhero takes a lot of training and it's...not exactly an ambition meant for everyone.

[rimuru]

[ ugh....... ] I was a king of a recently formed Monster nation.

I'm sure I can't be that here.

[timehit]

No, I'm sure you can't.

[ That sounds completely preposterous, for one thing. ]

So what exactly is your plan for catching criminals? Ingesting robbers until the authorities arrive? There's a big chance to be shot at, stabbed, or worse.

[rimuru]

Well, there was always a big chance of that happening back in my world too. [ they are monsters, everyone wanted to sort of kill them, sadly ]

I can handle myself easily in a fight. [ it's because he is a lot stronger than he looks that he became king ]

[timehit]

Easily.

[ There's nothing about this person that isn't suspicious. Up to and including the "King of Monsters" bit. ]

Confidence will certainly get you somewhere, but vigilantism isn't a game.

[rimuru]

No, no, I don't want to be a vigilante. I'm registered. [ so he can be an actual hero, at least that's how he understood this world to work ]

I'd be working with authorities and maybe other heroes.

[timehit]

Oddly enough, I agree. Working together with other imPorts might be the best solution.

[ At least in that case someone will be keeping an eye on them. Either that, or they'll become chum for a chaotic slime with dubious motives.

It's a realization that only hammers home just how much Five hates this place. ]

[rimuru]

[ he isn't chaotic and neither has other motives, but being a monster he is used to have people suspecting him all the time. But also underestimate him, too ]

Hm! I think the best way is to work with others, no one can do everything alone.

not here

[onederfulhero]

[Toshinori would never dare laugh in a place where Bakugou can see it, but that's not going to stop him from laughing his ass off at this post in private.]

[heroondecku]

...oh my god.

[CANNOT. UNSEE.]

Voice

[rimuru]

You okay there?

Permavoice

[heroondecku]

Y-yes! [Not even a little.] I just, uh, wasn’t expecting to see Ka— I-I mean my... class...mate? Like...that.

[He had already made his peace with the fact that at any moment, Kacchan could realize that he’s a walking repository of embarassing childhood stories and memories and react accordingly. ...accordingly by Kacchan standards.

He was not prepared to add NEW things to that collection and yet here they are.]

[rimuru]

Well, I'll be honest, he didn't have a say in it.

[heroondecku]

I can tell.

[On the one hand he’s getting used to Kacchan being more bark than bite these days but also HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE

Teach him your secrets? Please?]

He’s, uh. Not the volunteering type. Usually. [Sorry Kacchan but it’s true.]

[rimuru]

[ welllll.... he ate him. That's the secret. ]

I've noticed! He is very explosive, his power fits him.

[heroondecku]

[Okay fair but still]

That's...one way of putting it. [He's trying so hard to phrase things nicely. So very hard.] He's a complicated person.

[rimuru]

[ "Complicated". Not "difficult" or downright "bully". ]

Is he? Have you known him for long?

[heroondecku]

[If Rimuru thinks this is what Bakugou being a bully is like then boy does Izuku have news for him...not that he'd actually share it, but.]

Kind of? I mean, I wouldn't say we're...close...but we grew up in the same neighborhood and been in the same class every year. I guess I've known him for as long as I can remember.

[rimuru]

Well, I'm glad I could provide some embarrassing memories of him, then!

Does everyone in your world have a super power like his?

[heroondecku]

Eheheh...heh...yeah...

[Kacchan is going to murder him.]

Almost everyone, yes! And it's mostly people the older generations that don't. Being born Quirkless is really rare these days.

[rimuru]

[ shhhhhh just enjoy the moment, Deku ]

Do you guys have different species, too?

[heroondecku]

Different...? Well, sometimes an animal develops a Quirk, but that’s even more rare...

[rimuru]

Ah, just humans then.

Well, in any case, it sounds like a fun world. Similar to this one in some ways, so it's probably easier for you to be here.
