Based on the theme of this place, I think going through the forest is the way back, too. Or, at least, the way to some answers. [Hm. How is Izuku so smart!! Damian is use to having to herd brawny idiots! Izuku just keeps stunning him.] Fairytales and folktales.
A magical forest the hero has to venture through to get to a goal. It's full of trials and tribulations.
I know others have already went into the forest to search, but I'm going to explore myself in the future.
That's what I figured, too. The town's surrounded by the forest, except the part in Bluo that's by the water. [Izuku's smile twists slightly.] If you're going to go to explore, don't take a lot of people with you. I tried to organize a group trip during the first couple weeks to see if we could map the place out, but the forest really didn't like that.
A-anyway... one of my friends said he managed to get home for a couple days, but ended up back here, in the forest without even remembering that he went in there to begin with. If we take that into account, along with how the forest is determined to keep us here, then ..it's more likely the forest is our way out, instead of the harbor.
[He adds a second later--] But we shouldn't rule water travel out completely either.
[Damian didn't have a great time with the water when he first got here. RIP.]
Ugh. I keep trying to tell everyone that going into the forest with a bunch of people is dangerous and stupid. They all think I'm an idiot. [Apparently he hasn't had a great time with people subverting back to the fact he's thirteen either.] Three is pushing it. Two might be best.
But going alone keeps others out of trouble period.
[He's feeling more ramped up because the potato is good, and now he isn't as hangry as he had been initially.] Wait--
With two people you'll have someone to watch your back, though. [Izuku says thoughtfully. He gets it, wanting to keep others from danger, he really does. He also knows that Shouto and Uraraka--not to mention Guren--would kill him if he tried to tackle anything on his own.]
When were you planning on going into the forest? [It's...an offer to come along, if Damian wants to take him up on it.]
Oh, yeah. It's Keith-kun. I'll give you his hex code if you want to talk to him about it.
Later. [It's not a decline of the unspoken invitation. More of "I'll keep you updated, and we'll go from there." He doesn't exactly want to go with anyone else, just for the fear of them getting in trouble. Of them getting hurt, and him being unable to do anything about it.
But if he asked anyone, it may be Izuku.] Fine. I'll talk to him about it. Did he mention anything to you?
[Izuku just nods--he knows the sentiment's been passed on. Damian will let him know if he wants the company later.]
Yeah...it's really weird. Apparently a lot of time passed while he was back home, but he was only missing for a few days in the town. [Izuku rubs at his cheek absently, with a slight frown.]
Aside from that... he doesn't even remember going into the forest, but that's where he woke up. There's physical evidence that he went home, too--he had injuries that he got in his world, and they were still on him when he woke up back here.
So far, he's the only one this has happened to, so I'm not sure if the time discrepancy is something we'll all have to deal with.
[Not enough information to work with... it's becoming a theme of sorts for this place.]
