Ah, I suppose you're right. This is pretty broadly targeted to be something like that...although with what we've seen from the League of Villains, I guess there's really no way to be sure.
[He looks more than a little troubled at the idea of it being an illusion, or mind control, but that could be the horrifying experience he'd had with his own memory of UA back in that provided simulation a few days earlier...]
It's kind of difficult to tell, isn't it? If it's real or not. I mean, it feels real, and I'm pretty sure I'm me, and you're you, but if they've got this much power...what kind of people are we dealing with?
[He's never really been the sort of person to believe in gods, but could some of the mythology of this place be true...? Something to think about later. But for now--]
Anyway, were you heading inside?

I think so. I mean - when we went to visit the dragons the other month [ what ] they gave us some tea with, er. Similar effects? But those only took place during the following moon...
[ But it's his best guess for what might be happening just now. ]

SORRY MY MAN, SORRY! [his hand shoots up to cover his mouth, not wanting any more fire to make its way out. Ha ha... I guess there's a first time for everything?
What--no! I said I'm not dying!
[This is so awkward. Who is this guy? Is this the point where he calls a nurse to have him escorted out?]
[Well... at least there's only one of him...]

[Young sir, did you just say you visited dragons with a straight face? Whaaaaaaaaaaat?]
Tea and dragons, huh? [He rubs at the back of his head, just letting his eyes close because the auras were just getting to be too much.] Normally I'm down for trying different tea blends but it sounds like I should be glad I missed that one--[The tickle hits him a second later and he manages to cough into his fist, coming up with... blood... ash??? Hnnnngh...]
How long does this sort of thing usually last, my boy?

Ah... I doubt it. Quirks effect over 80% of the population where I come from. Ah... think... [he gestures in the air, trying to come up with the simplest explanation. It felt like trying to explain to someone what a foot was. Or an arm. They were just there!] Super powers??? They've come to be called Quirks because they are so unique individual to individual.
HA HA HA--I have no idea! [And each bark of laughter produces the smallest flame that fortunately doesn't catch anywhere.] Same with that. [He just gestured toward his face, not sure how to point out the whole breathing fire thing.]
Afraid I'll have to pass, my man.
[sorry, he isn't about to let some random stranger start messing with his insides... what's left of them anyway.]
[sorry, he isn't about to let some random stranger start messing with his insides... what's left of them anyway.]
Not really, my girl. Seems like you're recognizing when it's coming at least. [He shifts and taps his chest with a few knuckles.] Seems to happen to me when I overuse my lungs. [ha ha ha... lungs[from here]
W-well...moon cycles usually last for five days, and that's how long the dragon effects lasted for me - but since this isn't a moon cycle, I can't be sure. ...Probably not that long?
[ Izuku sounds a little dubious, though, while looking worried. ]
It, er, overrode the usual effects.

There are idiosyncratic abilities that can't be easily explained within the known laws of magic. But eighty percent of the population... even magic-users are less than two percent. The sort of thing you're talking about is so rare as to barely be studied.
[ Although... most of her underlings are like that. And she's well aware how annoying they can be to herd around. ]
Sounds chaotic.

Hm. [THEY COULD PLAY THE APOLOGY GAME ALL DAY, but he doesn't exactly feel like it. So Zed sighs, not quite sure what to do with his new acquaintance or himself.]
...I'm glad it doesn't appear to be the same as a drug side-effect from my world. My friend's daughter almost died from it. [Hence his worry.]

Ah... I'm sorry to hear that.
I have no idea what's going on. My vision and eyes are messed up too. I'm seeing auras around everything... seriously thought I was about to have a stroke for a minute there... [T-Toshi... don't make jokes about your health when you look like a walking corpse...]

[Ooooooh right. The moon blessing stuff... "Blessing"...]
Right... ah... [He hunkers down, whispering (in his failtastic way--the man couldn't whisper if his life depended on it) in probably the most obvious way possible.] So... what really happens with the moon cycles anyway? I've heard bits and pieces but nothing straight from the horse's mouth as they say.

It was for many years, before my time especially. Things have come to somewhat decent order by my time.
[ Izuku...goes scarlet, actually, because SOME of his moonblessing stuff is stuff he plans to never, EVER discuss with All Might (or any of his friends. or ANYONE)... ]
Um! I mean...it depends on your blessing. Uraraka-san gets, er...aggressive. [ Mean... ] She's Sanguis. They're - very, well. Like I said: aggressive, usually. Territorial, sort of...violent? Then there's the animal features - wolf, or some kind of fish, or snake, or a mix. Um, they have minor fire magic...Cordis are more...friendly. Sort of playful? More of an appetite for everything. Fox, cat, and...bird? Owl? Not sure. They've got ice magic.
[ It's more what he's picked up from people. ]
I'm Iris-blessed. That's...more affectionate, I guess? And, er, protective. Rabbits, deer, jellyfish - ah, and electricity magic.

[And while it would be impossible not to notice Midoriya fully changing colors, it's even harder not to react when he suddenly switches from green electricity to a bright red glow. He rears back a little, eyes going wide having not expected it--but doesn't say anything otherwise.]
[God this was weird...]
[He listens, nods, compartmentalizes--and then frowns at the mention of]
Jellyfish? How on earth does that even work?

'To an order', huh... meaning what? A civil society that abhors the chaos enough to control itself? Or that someone wound up on top?
[ America gives him a sympathetic look and reaches over to put his hand on All Might's shoulder (good lord this man is tall.) ]
Look. It's okay. It's very common for people to get delusional when they're near death, but you have company now. It's okay to just give up your spirit, because I am here. And..
[ His voice grows soft, but it's obvious he's.. having a lot of trouble of what to say. ]
I think.. you.. look great. So at peace. So.. beautiful. You're not even on your death bed, you're like.. on your.. death.. standing-up. Death.. feet. Yeah. You're on your death feet. That's pretty impressive.

[He gives a heavy sigh.]
Unfortunately I don't know of any way to confirm it one way or another, my boy... and barring an illusion I have even less to put in on how we were brought here--and if it's really even people behind it...
[What was the phrase? "There are more things in heaven and earth...?"]
Ah, no, no. I was just passing by this time. I had my run in with those little monsters last night, I've had my fill of them.
[If the glitter still caught in his hairline wasn't enough to prove it.]

[Oh he did NOT just 'I am here' him--]
[And now he's rambling as bad as Midoriya, though at least Midoriya would working his way through something--]
NONSENSE!!! [The barked word brings up another spray of blood, he was on quite the roll now.] I have been like this for six years young man, if it hasn't killed me by now it isn't going to!

Rabbit features... Like... Mirko...? [He rubs at his chin, trying to picture this.]
[He smiles a bit at that.] Well, I would like to think it's predominately the former but nothing is ever black and white.
