[ He raises his brows at that in both surprise and confusion. But he can tell Katsuki's sharing this as a good thing, seemingly...? He's smiling, at least? That's something. Alberto's not quite sure what to make of this whole variant-memories thing; it's a bit over his head yet. ]
...So— a guy you remember knowing, but... don't know? Was he human? Why was he spiky? Like a sea urchin?
[ Because if Katsuki's bringing it up, Alberto of course expects him to have answers. He stays leaning against the shower wall as they chat, letting the water hit him casually, paying no mind to how it sprays slightly onto the floor below since the curtain is drawn open. Who cares about puddles, right. ]
I think that was his super power? Making himself... all spiky and tough? Like a human shield. From what I've seen, everyone in that world has special powers.
[Katsuki hasn't yet noticed the water pudding on the floor. He sees an opportunity here and he intends to take it.]
Actually, last month, my friend and I started being able to do the things we could do in those memories. He can float through air now.
[Floating isn't even Izuku's main power. But they don't know that yet. That whole thing was going to be a ride once they started piecing it together.
Right now though, Katsuki’s grin grows wider, a glint in his eyes as he leans forward just a bit.]
[ Alberto's eyes widen skeptically at the mention of his friend and him gaining super powers from another dimension's versions of them, like — th-that's a lot to process in one sentence...? Let alone the floating. But Alberto already is wary of Katsuki being able to explode things with his mind as it is, so while he wants to see some surely crazy inter-dimensional magical magic, even Alberto has sense enough not to do it in a tiny bathroom...
He flips the water off and goes to step out of the tub, but as soon as he does, he slips in the puddle on the tile. He slides this way and that as he almost loses his balance, but barely maintains it enough to keep standing, making a miraculous save without falling, frozen akimbo looking at Katsuki with a comical wide-eyed grimace. ]
[ But ever so smoothly, he collects himself and struts past him and out of the bathroom with a smirk and a confident swagger, tail swishing slowly behind him, leaving a little wet trail in his wake. ]
...That's my super-power: Not-Dying. Ha!
[ Goofy ass kid... He's in good humor as he brags jokingly now, tongue-in-cheek knowing that he's full of it. He waves Katsuki along behind him with a webbed hand. ]
Dai, andiamo. Show me out here. In case more things explode, eh~?
[ He flashes a teasing, fanged grin at Katsuki over his shoulder. He's being sarcastic, but it's a good sign that he's already joking about their last mishap, maybe... ]
[Really? Almost falls and breaks his face and already joking about it?
But it's the end of all that he chooses to focus on. Yeah, about that... He still has to explain what happened. And then explain that... his actual explosion powers aren't the same thing?]
Right. That wasn't really me last time. That was the kitsune. The fox spirit I mentioned before? When I get really emotional, sometimes things start breaking around me. I can't really control that...
[He follows Alberto, more mindful of the puddle. And debating if this should be done indoors? He can control how big they get, to a point...]
[ Alberto is immune to failure and embarrassment — or at the very least has become so deeply familiar with failure and embarrassment that he's perfected his deflections to an art form. Katsuki will get to know this more and more as time goes on — Alberto will always find some kind of accomplishment in his failure. And, thankfully, he usually extends that grace to those around him, too.
He already assumes something's gonna explode or start flying around or something bonkers, so he'd already intended to go outside. Not that the outside is... much better than the inside... They have a little balcony outside the kitchen, which they've just filled with more bull shit tchotchkes... But there is a little stool and an old rocking chair and a large wooden barrel overturned to be used as a table — all clearly things "rescued" from garbage collection.
He listened carefully to Katsuki on the short walk out, but he waits a beat to respond. Once they're out, Alberto plops down in the rocking chair, sliding his tail through the hole between the back and the seat, crossing his legs and resting his arms behind his head, as he starts idly rocking as soon as he sits down. ]
Okay, so, first of all — I don't know what "fox spirit" means. But that's what happened? Things randomly explode if you get upset? Because of— that?
[ Alberto twirls his hand in the air at Katsuki, as if waving at these words he doesn't know. When Katsuki had mentioned the fox spirit to him prior in that fateful text conversation, it went over Alberto's head because he was focused on his own panic, but regardless, he has no idea about spiritual possession or, um, foxes... And when he doesn't understand something, he's awful for just remaining silent, rather than admit to his own ignorance. Unless he has to. Like right now. But it's becoming more bearable, given the context... ]
[So. It's going to be a little more explaining than he was anticipating. Luca hadn't asked any real questions. But that didn't necessarily mean he understood. He'd just been very accepting of whatever Katsuki was telling him. Ridiculously chill, especially compared to Alberto.
But it probably makes sense Alberto doesn't know what a fox is. Seamonster thing aside, he was from a fishing town and they weren't really known for being full of foxes right?
Katsuki settles on the stool and reaches for his phone like he had when Luca mentioned not knowing what a raincoat was. This time he pulls up a picture of an arctic fox, holding his phone out.]
Kind of like this. But... Magic? Has more tails. And it can talk to me. But it doesn't do that a whole lot. When I was a kid, I fell in a river and... it offered to save my life. But I had to let it attach itself to me. It's called possession. And... that's my secret? Like you being a seamonster. I've really only told people like me. And Deku--my friend. And now you and your friend.
[Secret for a secret. He'd been trying to reassure Alberto and it failed because of Alberto having no idea what he was even talking about... in hindsight he realizes he did a really poor job of it. But he's open to explaining better now. If Alberto has any questions. He knows it's kind of a lot and also confusing...]
[ After looking at the picture, Alberto listens carefully, still idly rocking in the chair, pushing himself with his flipper-like foot propped up against the balcony's railing. It's still all a bit over his head, but the gist of it strikes home. The guy almost drowned; Alberto worked very, very briefly as a lifeguard toward the end of his stay in Portorosso. He knows it's scary — and it makes him wonder if Katsuki knows how to swim now. But to hear that they've been roped into this apparently very small circle in the know, Alberto feels a little more... ashamed... at the way he'd acted in their fight. It takes him pause to reply, but when he does, he stops rocking for a second, leaning forward to face Katsuki more intently. ]
So... Why do you keep it secret? Do people hunt fox spirits, or— err— people who're... possession-ed by fox spirits...?
Something like that. There's groups out there that want to get ahold of us.
[He actually hesitates here a moment. Honestly... the full answer to what people would want with possessed people... Katsuki isn't sure he wants to delve into it again. He has some pretty distinct memories burned into his mind from June.
From Jun's nightmare. Learning a bit about Krusnik. About the experiments they did trying to create possessions. He didn't actually know the answer to what they did with the successes. Wasn't sure he wanted those answers.]
There are some fucked up people in the world. We'll leave it at that. Besides, you wanted to see what my power was didn't you?
[ That answer draws a quietness from Alberto again, liking but not liking that they have this in common, sort of. But he's relieved when Katsuki changes the subject back to their whole reason being out here, and he smirks at him with his mouth still full of sharp teeth. ]
Heh. Yeah. Show me what you've got~
[ Alberto stays leaning forward, propping his arms up on his knees and resting his chin in his hands, watching with an eager smile now. His scales are slowly starting to disappear as his skin dries, though the air is moist and humid from the rains. His tail stays, as he's sitting on a wet cushion, but lavender scales are slowly morphing into patches of tan skin everywhere else. ]
[The summer heat has been a benefit when it comes to his newly acquired power actually. As well as making it more of a pain at times to deal with.
It's... kind of a gross power when you know how it works, honestly. But Katsuki isn't jumping to share that it comes from sweating nitroglycerin and somehow being able to detonate it. He's been putting a lot of effort into learning how to control the output the last two months. And that's about to be put to the test.]
Don't get too close.
[He turns away a bit, holding his hand out away from Alberto, palm up. At first it's just little sparks of light and soft popping sounds as he focuses on keeping it controlled. But as he lets them build a bit it becomes more obvious what he's doing. Tiny explosions. Almost like little fireworks popping out of his palm.
And okay... yeah he's showing off a bit. But can you blame him? He hasn't really had a chance to get excited about his power because mostly he's been either accidentally blowing up his furniture or using it to fight.]
They can get bigger. I used 'em to fight in last months realm. But I probably shouldn't show you that or I might blow up your balcony. It's separate from what the kitsune does. This I can control.
[ Alberto's eyes go wide, and he leans forward further in closer attention, lowering his hands from his chin in awe. ]
Woah! You just— woke up one day, with new extra explode-y powers?!
[ He's slowly drying off more and more, but he's too distracted by Katsuki's cool super powers to bother shaking himself fully dry. He gives Katsuki a kind of incredulous, funny look after a beat, good humor in his voice, but still wide-eyed and starstruck. ]
[He snorts at the question. It's a very fair question. As to the answer?]
Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it's like that crazy explosive shrimp? God just decided... why not make a guy who can blow shit up for the hell of it? Skimped on the maxed out vision though.
[A joke. But like... at the same time... yeah? Accurate comparison?]
[ Alberto smirks at that little half-joke, nestling back in his rocking chair and propelling himself in it gently again with his webbed foot propped on the railing. He crosses his arms over his chest, and while he doesn't give his whole body a shake, he at least shakes off his head and face, purple frills naturally settling back into bouncy caramel curls. He shoots Katsuki a conspiratorial, good-humored smile, feeling more at ease now that they're both kind of joking in spite of themselves... A far cry from their last visit. ]
Maybe you'll end up getting cool super-color shrimp-vision magic powers here, hah~? People get weird new magic powers all the time here, don't they? Could happen! Heh!
Don't jinx me! Seeing that many colors sounds like a migraine.
[He clicks his tongue in feigned annoyance, scooting his seat closer to the railing so he can lean forward on it, looking out over the parking lot. Not that there's anything interesting to see out there. But it's something to visually hold his attention for the time being.
Yeah. This is definitely going a lot better. Miles ahead better.]
I think flight's pretty cool though? I've seen in the memories that it's possible to get airborne with the explosions but it's way harder than it looked. I keep crashing.
[ Alberto laughs at Katsuki's protest. It's definitely going drastically better than last time. In fact, it's actually— pretty fun? When they're getting along, they get along. Even Alberto tunes into this, smirking to himself, before Katsuki goes on and captures his interest anew. He stops rocking in his chair and leans forward in attention, eyes alight. ]
Explosions can make you fly?! Err— o-other you, or whatever, any you, boh. But for real?! You're tryna use them to fly? What's the highest you've gotten?
[ Asking the important question right off the bat. And... obviously quite impressed. Oh, god. ]
I don't think it's exactly flying? It's kind of like... a bottle rocket? The force of the explosions can get me up in the air and then I just use them to move around up there. Or that's the idea anyway.
[Katsuki is nothing if not persistent. If other him could do it, he can do it damnit.]
Not very high. Maybe six or seven feet? But I've got a friend who's gonna help me out with it so I don't break my neck falling from too high. Once I've got it figured out I'll show you and your partner in crime. And you two can show me how fast you swim.
[Just showing off for each other like young guys do.]
[ That makes Alberto grin from ear-to-ear, just at the tacit mention of Luca being automatically included. But of course the promise to show off his swimming is also promising. He is intrigued by all this explode-y flying stuff, though, and leans forward to prop his elbows up on his knees, holding his chin in both hands. ]
Have you tried explode-y flying off a cliff? Or a hill? I don't think a ramp would do you much good, buuut — maybe! Ooh, and if you explode-y fall into the sea it's probably safer. I mean— unless you can't swim. Then I dunno, ha.
[ A-Alberto, that's not a funny joke... Dumb kid. Clearly a bit careless about, uh, death. ]
...not yet, I haven't. But once I know what I'm doing, launching myself off a cliff does sound like fun.
[This is going to be a friendship that leads to poor life decisions isn't it? Oh well.]
But not over the sea. Or any water. Because I can't swim. Never learned. The whole drowning thing, y'know?
[He plays it casual. Tone and expression unchanged. But yeah. The fact he never learned to swim definitely means he remains pretty traumatized by the experience.]
...wish I could. That'd make things a little less painful when I crash.
[ Alberto purses his lips awkwardly, nodding slowly and throwing his glance aside. Right. Drowning. He— knows what it means, it's how land monsters die in the water like a fish would die on land (well, most fish)... but he has no real concept for how terrifying an experience almost drowning can be. And very little social tact. But he means well...? He raises his brows and offers Katsuki an encouraging smile, keeping his chin in his hands idly. ]
Right, right... I mean— does the fox thing not allow you to swim — or do you just not know how? Cuz, y'know, if you wanna learn, I could teach you. I used to work as a lifeguard back home.
[ For literally one week before he found himself here, but okay, it counts. ]
[Katsuki takes a few moments to consider that offer. Does he want to overcome his fear and learn to swim? Yes. He doesn't like anything holding him back. And he doesn't like losing to his fear.
But the question is... is he up to the task of trying? Getting close to big bodies of water makes his chest feel tight. A squeezing pain like he's having a heart attack. Pulse racing. Mouth dry.
He knows what it is. He'd have to prepare Alberto for the high chance that could occur if he takes him up on the offer. He doesn't want that to be something he finds out while one is happening.
Probably better to not put either of them in that situation. He should work on that before he agrees to try swimming lessons.]
Maybe. I'd probably need to work some shit out first. But if I can, probably a sea monster is the best teacher I could find.
[ Not the most socially astute, Alberto doesn't register that this might be making Katsuki more uncomfortable than he'd like to be. But maybe it works out for the best that he lightens up the tone a bit, just habitually... being goofy. ]
Hah, well, you don't have a tail— buuut I've taught humans to swim before. I bet I could help you, too. And I'd make sure you don't look stupid.
[ He flashes Katsuki a good-humored grin. How considerate... Clearly joking, but. Man. Humans aren't meant for the water. ]
We'll put a pin in it for now. And I'll get back to you once I have my shit together.
[Try not to traumatize him by... having a full blown panic attack the minute he gets close to the water. He plays it off like it's not a big deal. No reason to get into it right now. His plan is to have control over that before he takes up that offer. For now he stands up, stretching. He'll be leaving on a lot better terms this time around than last time. That's good.]
[ Alberto nods understandingly, then rises to his feet by pushing himself up off his knees, always over-animated. He inclines his head back toward the balcony door to usher Katsuki out, following his lead. A vastly more comfortable, amicable experience than the first. But because of that, Alberto's already ready to crack jokes about it... ]
Mmn. Yeah. Get out~
[ He's wearing such a teasing smirk as he says it, though, quoting himself from the last time. He claps Katsuki fondly on the back in the kitchen, though, juuust to be sure it's clear he's joking. ]
[He lets out a short, surprised laugh. Faintly amused. And then he's ruffling Alberto's hair. The action rough but not unkind. Intentionally messing it up.]
I'm goin'. Don't need to stay and take your shit.
[Equally teasing as they rehash the prior encounter with a much lighter tone. A grin tugging at his lips as he backs out the door.]

Right now though, Katsuki’s grin grows wider, a glint in his eyes as he leans forward just a bit.]
Do you wanna see what mine is?
1/2 just cuz i seldom get to use his sea monster icons and NEVER get to use this one lol
He flips the water off and goes to step out of the tub, but as soon as he does, he slips in the puddle on the tile. He slides this way and that as he almost loses his balance, but barely maintains it enough to keep standing, making a miraculous save without falling, frozen akimbo looking at Katsuki with a comical wide-eyed grimace. ]
