Some random route!

[provillainmove]

You know what the biggest tipoff is that something isn't quite right here?? Oddly enough it isn't the drow, people come in all kinds of exotic appearances. It's the background music.

There's background music!

And little monsters everywhere, some not so little, that are naggingly familiar even though Tomura can't quite actually put a name to them. He himself has a little monster, apparently, a flying puffer fish of some kind that's quite content to follow him everywhere he goes. It's been pretty helpful so far, it even found him a new phone thing when he'd turned the previous one to dust, and showed him how to use it to get data on various little monsters. Some of which they had promptly demolished. Self note: do not turn the critters to particles, the puffer gets no experience that way.

It's the subtle change in the background music that alerts him to Someone Potentially More Interesting coming; did it always do that? He had no idea! But as Jarlaxle appears, astride a creature he can't pin a name to, reminding him awfully of Mr. Compress in general bearing, Shigaraki ... doesn't get out of the way. Instead he grabs his quilfish with four fingers and uses it to flag the drow down like a spiny road sign, the little fish's fins flapping in alarm.

"Hey. Hey. That thing isn't in my bestiary, what is it?"

The colorful bird he's riding, presumably. There isn't much colorful about him in return, he's all in drab colors and clothes several sizes too big.

"The ones in the communication devices?" the elf replies with an easy manner. There is a lilting quality to his diction--not for him a flat inflection. "No, it would not be. This is a diatryma--this is my diatryma--and it hails from my own world of Toril. You would better wish to look inside Volo's Guide to Beasts or my own scout Valas' Underdark bestiary."

[provillainmove]

Shigaraki's taking a minute to plug in what he thinks might be the proper spelling for 'diatryma' anyway, and unsurprisingly nothing comes up.

Then Toril is typed in, and nothing comes up for that either, and he's forced to weigh whether he's stuck in a game, or a fever dream. Of all the things he could be dreaming up, the game elements he can understand, but colorful horse-birds?

"Sure, fine," is the answer after both of these searches completely fail, "Where do I find either of those? It better not be a library." It's probably a library.

"Toril itself," the elf man says, "which is far away indeed. Alas, we are not on my home plane and we may not be on yours. We are in a different world altogether, which is known as the World of Pokemon."

[provillainmove]

"Uuuuggghhh." This entire situation has slid precariously towards annoying. Why was there some other world in his video game when he couldn't get to it?? Shigaraki growls something unpleasant under his breath, one hand rising to scratch at an irritated looking spot on his neck.

... No. No, if it's mentioned in the plot there's a way to get to it, he simply can't get to it yet. He hasn't progressed the main storyline enough, that's all. Deep breath! Calming breath! It's just a game, he can handle games.

"Okay so forget that for now. I'm gonna put your bird thing in this bestiary so it's there for later." And he sets about trying to do just that, scowling fiercely. "You want to get off that thing for a minute? I'm gonna need a good clear picture. S'posed to have some kind of little bio with them too.."
