Hey, ya'll! I'm back. I took the small break that I said I was gonna take like two chapters ago. Hahaha. My stupid ass ended up writing a Malcolm in the Middle x DP oneshot for Ectober. And also a Skyrim x DP fic that has just become a WIP. X.X I have drawn perk trees, made whole new spell charts and just remade the magic system for Danny because I am a *special snowflake*. So much for my stress relief, just for funsies one-shot. XD
I actually had most of this "chapter" (13.1, not the whole thing) written like a month ago, but I couldn't post because there was just one part that was being an SOB riiiight at the beginning. I only finally got it to work like 3 days ago.
WE'VE CRESTED 100K WORDS, FOLKS! THAT'S A BIG MILESTONE! AND WE'RE ALMOST AT THE ONE YEAR MARK! Craziness.
All scenes with only MHA characters will be written in English, for ease of reading, but the characters are actually speaking Japanese to each other.
"Tea wa dokodesu ka?" [Where is the tea?] For scenes from an English character's POV that does not understand Japanese except for any words shown in bold, which may be none. The bracketed translation is for the audience.
"Dialogue in Japanese that is getting translated in real-time." If all words are in bold, the English character can understand everything that is being spoken in Japanese.
If a scene is being translated the entire time, and there are no language issues anywhere in an entire scene because of a translation device, the scene will just be written as normal. But you know who speaks what. I believe in you.

"—AAAZ—!"
Jazz's foot just barely cleared the portal behind her before her brother's shout abruptly cut off.
Stumbling slightly from what was apparently just a six inch drop, the redhead managed to catch herself on a piece of wicker furniture. When she looked up, it was to an expanse of potted squash plants colonizing a serene rooftop. A gentle breeze tickled her face, and the chill added to her mood despite the sun.
"Gosh darnit!" Jazz fumed, stomping over to the edge of the building as she mussed her hair in frustration. Raising a fist at the sky and shaking it, she yelled, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?!"
She found out Danny was the cause of the portals and now she couldn't tell anyone?!
AAARGHHHH!
Danny must have done something to piss the universe off. That was the only explanation she was willing to accept at this point. He had to have broken too many mirrors fighting ghosts over the years, or something, because this was ridiculous.
Gazing out over distinctly Eastern style architecture, she worried her lip. The people with mutations in the crowd below meant it was possible that this was Hagakure and Kamada-san's dimension. But what if it wasn't? What if she was trapped somewhere else entirely. What if—?
"A-a-ano. Hello?" [U-u-uhm, H-hello?]
Konnichi wa? Definitely Japan.
Jazz snapped around, greeted by the sight of an elderly gentleman hovering half-out of the door to the building's stairwell. His sage-green shirt was mostly visible, but only a single one of his legs poked through the door, the other still inside and clearly ready for a quick getaway.
Jazz's normally milky complexion paled to paper-white.
Right. This was somebody's residence.
Suddenly self-conscious, she reached up to touch at a nest of now thoroughly-ratty hair.
