video | UN: deku | CW: Sleeper Membrane detailed on the canon update page

[wannasmash]

[ The plain young man with freckles is frowning sheepishly, shoulders raised. Today he's freshly showered and wearing one of his usual boring shirts. ]

Um... First-time renter, here... Something happened, and now some furniture the owner lent to me is damaged from... slime. A lot of it. It's gross.

[ Midoriya looks much the same, healthy even. Someone who has recently seen him might notice more freckles on his skin, like he got some spring sun. His hair needs a trim again, even though he just got one last month.

He moves out of view to reveal a plain wooden bedframe. On it is a lost cause, a mattress that looks like it's been slimed on a 90's game show. Bits of the Sleeper Membrane are already drying into peels. In it are... dozens of tiny eyelids? ]

I'll have to replace it, but... Do you think I'll get kicked out?

[Flatly:]

Nope.

[He shrugged-- and was already looking through the closets for a scrub brush or a mop.]

That doesn't mean we can't do it. It can't be worse than how my last outfit from home got messed up.

[With magic. And Grimm Goo.]

If soap and water don't work, vinegar might. If that doesn't, oil soap or acetone.

We just have to be careful. Mixing cleaners can be pretty dangerous if you just go at it.

[wannasmash]

It came off me mostly okay in the shower. Gonna try soap and water--Uh, over there in that corner Oscar-kun, I gathered the cleaning supplies already.

[ It's tough work getting it all out of the bedframe, but Midoriya wants to minimize the damage before their next task. Slime and dirty rags are tossed into a bucket. Presently, the floor and furniture are as clean as they'll ever be. He rises from where he was squatting, tosses a last rag, and casts a dour eye at the mattress. ]

There's a place where we can burn this. Up for a walk?

[justoscar]

Well, sure?

[He was already gathering the supplies into his arms and reaching for a bucket when Midoriya spoke-- and Oscar cast him a bemused look.]

As big as all this is, we're gonna need a hand truck or something to get it there.

[wannasmash]

Nope, just super strength. I don't have a hand truck. [ he says casually. He shoulders a backpack with a container of something that sloshes inside. He narrows his eyes at the mattress grimly like it personally offended him, then gives Oscar a much more friendly look. ]

I've got the lighter fluid and the mattress. Can you spot for me?

[ He activates his Quirk with a small rush of wind and flickering energy beneath and around his skin. He lifts the mattress like it's filled with air instead of stuffing and springs. Now begins the awkward journey of maneuvering it through doors and elevators and pedestrians. ]
