Dawning 1.2

- Sweden
[X]Spend time observing the villains, it seem they operate mostly after dark, this could be a good chance to learn about the opposites to the heroes.
[X]Speak to Izuku in a dream. Though you have a semi-reliable means of communication now, it is not safe and could be unavailable in the future. Teaching him to be a lucid dreamer of enough proficiency to remember his dream-conversations with you would be a good fallback in case he should fall unconscious, lose his phone or have its security breached.
-[X]Ask him questions about himself, heroes and humanity to further your understanding of these.
[X]Purchase Miracles 1 10xp
All tier 1 miracles have been added to the XP shop. Discount provided for healing/protection miracles due to currently good nature. Destruction/Harmful miracles also more expensive.

If you could sigh in frustration, you would. It turns out finding some villains to observe is a lot harder than heroes, likely because the villains do not want to be found. Further compounding your irritation is how limited you are right now. Instead of the near-omniscience you should be enjoying as a god, your damage state leaves you barely able to split your attention in three places at once. Adding further on to that, you're unable to look inside of buildings as you're limited to a birds-eye view while away from the influence provided by disciples. You resolve to do something about this state of affairs when you have the time to do so.
Omniscience 1 added to the XP shop
However, your search does not prove to be entirely fruitless. Towards the dregs of night when the sun barely sleeps below the horizon you spot a trio of individuals garbed in dark clothing with black masks covering their faces. They seem to be arguing outside of a jeweler's store. One of them trying to convince the other two that it's a bad idea, that they've already lost too much time and that anyone could show up at any second. The other two seem to be calling him for the female genitalia, which you can only presume is an insult.
Regardless of their argument, the three of them do proceed inside of the jeweler's store, one of them doing something to make the storefront glass disappear, likely the work of a quirk not that you know anything about those beyond that they give mortals supernatural powers. While the three are inside the store you are unable to follow their conversation and progress, but you do catch pulses of electromagnetic radiation leaving the store. Confusing, you'd not expected them to break in only to place a phone-call.
Another portion of your attention takes notice of a new arrival outside, a very large man with mustache, hair and beard made of fire? He honestly looks impressive for a mortal, very close to what you could imagine your avatar looking like. His arrival seems a little too fast though- Ah! those electromagnetic waves you sensed earlier must have been an alarm of some sort, otherwise you cannot see how he could have gotten here so fast except for happenstance.
He does not enter the store straight away, instead taking position to the side of it, where neither he or his flames are directly visible from the storefront. His reasoning quickly becomes clear as the trio of villains make their exit, massive walls of flame springing up around them in a perfect sphere, trapping them inside. Two of them panic, screaming and raising their hands, seeming to simultaneously try to surrender and bat the flames out at the same time, while the third laughs and runs through the flames, unscathed.
"Hah! Should've sent someone else Endeavor, my quirk makes me fireproof! And the Yakuza are gonna pay me bigtime for your- Urk!" His blathering is cut short by endeavor giving him a clothesline with one of his massive arms on the other side of the flames, following it up with a headlock until the villain stops struggling. You're impressed, though you'd set out to observe villains you'd instead found a single outnumbered hero disabling them in less than ten seconds. Perhaps it would be more worthwhile following him around for the remainder of the night?
What do you do?
[X]Follow Endeavor, a hero this strong is far more interesting than some petty villains.
[X]Follow the villains, you want to see how the justice system and mundane police come into the equation.
-------------------------------------
Once again you draw your disciple into the blank, grey void you have forged out of his dreamscape. It takes him a shorter time to 'wake' up in this dream, and a shorter time to get over his surprise as well.
"D-deus! w-what-?"
"My disciple" You interrupt his stuttering before it can turn into something long-winded. "I have questions for you."
"A-alright." He swallows audibly, but looks determined "I'll do my best to answer!"
"Where do quirks come from?"
"I, uh, well." He scratches his head awkwardly "No one really knows. Most people think they are genetic mutations, uh, that is that quirks are the next step in human evolution."
A preposterous notion to you, how could humans possibly manifest such powers at a random whim of evolution? No, you surmise there must be more at play here than your disciple is aware of.
"What is the distinction between heroes and police? As well as Villains and regular criminals?"
He straightens up a bit before answering, enthusiastically. "Ah! Well, the heroes deal with quirk-related crime while the police deal with regular non-quirk related crime as well as take captured villains into custody. It's the same on the other side, villains are the ones who instigate crimes with their quirks, while regular criminals do not use their quirks to commit crime."
You consider this for a moment before asking the logical follow-up. "Then why did you seek to be a hero without a quirk?"
"W-well. I wanted to be a cool hero like all might" He rubs his neck awkwardly, blushing furiously but continuing on quickly. "N-not that there's anything wrong with being a policeman! It's just... Just that I've always wanted to be a hero." He laughs awkwardly "A stupid childhood dream I guess."
"No" You interrupt him, "Not any longer."
You shift the questioning to lighter topics after that, and spend a couple of hours grilling him on various details on human society and sociology. You have more to ask him, but you know mortals need proper sleep as well, so you let him rest for the remainder of the nights. Still, the information you have gained from him has been very fruitful, he is most knowledgeable on matters of heroes and heroics.

[X]There is another mortal living in your disciples domicile, his mother you believe. It would please you to have both mortals dwelling here in your service.
-[X]How will you approach her?(Dream, using a miracle in front of her etc) and what will you tell her? Write in.
[X]You have been detecting electromagnetic waves bouncing between handheld and stationary devices and even seen people talking into them, you could divert some of your attention towards figuring out how to interpret these signals to give yourself access to this global network.
[X]Dream of yourself. You will spend a significant portion of the week with your attention turned inwards into yourself in a dream of sorts in an attempt to repair some of the divine memories you are missing, they might give you some clues of the fates of the previous deities that once lived on this world.
[X]Spend more time observing the heroes, learning of their more common daytime activities would be helpful towards understanding your disciples dream
-[X]Any hero is fine, it is the knowledge you crave
-[X]Look for All-Might, your disciple idolizes him a lot, you want to know why
[X]Human biology is largely a mystery to you, study the internal workings of your disciple as he works to gain a deeper understanding of them.
