Who: Uraraka Ochako / OTA
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Marsiva
When: right now go go go


[So... is the whole stuffing-information-in-your-head somebody's Quirk? Because it's an especially scary one, if that's the case. Ochako can't help poking at the back of her neck, feeling for the augment, with an increasing level of alarm as she wanders through the ship she'd woken up in. The communicator gripped tightly in her hands has been all but useless, too- she's tried to call all the numbers she knows by heart, but they won't connect to anyone familiar. She really does appear to be alone in the middle of nowhere. And- okay, she's always liked space and the sky and stars and whatnot- sort of comes hand in hand with gravity control, she figures. But she didn't expect to ever go there. Certainly not without someone who knows what they're doing.

The communicator keeps flashing at her, though, so eventually she braves sending a message to the masses in the hopes of finding some familiar - or at least friendly - faces. Let's... try smiling...! Yes!]

So, um. That. Sure is a lot of space out there, haha!

I guess nobody out there's got a convenient Quirk that can send me home, huh?

[Smiling is good! And Kaworu thinks she's given a grand try. He's all too pleased to smile in return, and it's the gentlest, most sympathetic and easygoing expression he can muster. Most of his smiles are like that.]

It really is a lot of space. It makes one wonder.

Is quirkiness capable of that sort of thing, though? [He thinks it's possible he's missing some sort of idiom or cultural turn of phrase.]

[willynilly]

Oh- no, not quirkiness, just- Quirk! It's like a superpower.

[Crap, it's pretty telling if people don't even know the term.]

[paraclete]

I see... [Well, he... sort of sees?! He's trying to parse the meaning of the term— ] What does a superpower entail, exactly?

[Might come across as particularly odd, especially to someone who lived in a world full of superpowers, but Kaworu hasn't really been exposed to comic books or anything.]

[willynilly]

[....yeah, that is... super weird. She's not even sure how to explain- she has literally never had to before.]

Umm... it depends on the person. Some people can run ridiculously fast, or shoot fire or explosions from their hands, or get super-strong punches! Or maybe powers from animals, or the ability to talk to animals... there's way too many to name.

[paraclete]

[Here Kaworu's placidity gives way to outright curiosity. The sorts of people Atroma introduces him to never stop being surprising. Kaworu's not exactly a fan of surprises, but he does cherish the opportunity to learn from people...]

And, these are human beings?

[willynilly]

Oh, for sure! Some might look different because of the Quirk, but we're definitely all human.

[paraclete]

I see, [he says again. He pauses, contemplative, then offers,] Where I come from, a human being's abilities aren't so remarkable.

You said "we" — you also have a Quirk? Do all humans?

[willynilly]

[A world of Quirkless? Or rather, if that's normal, there was never an event that caused Quirks to form in the first place? Huh.]

Oh wow... I can't even imagine a world like that. Back home, it's pretty rare for someone to not have some kind of Quirk.

And yep, I have one too! Anti-gravity.

[paraclete]

That is, you invalidate gravity in an already existing area?

[monolike]

I know, right? I couldn't even comprehend it when I first got here. It gets easier after time but for the first week I kept getting vertigo.

[willynilly]

I can't stop looking out the windows! It's like something out of sci-fi.

[monolike]

What's sci-fi? Is that another one of those TV show things?

[willynilly]

Oh, yeah! Science-fiction. It's stories about space and other science-y stuff like that.

[monolike]

Oh, so that's what it's called! Sci-fi... I get it.

Yep, this is definitely sci-fi. Just plain old fi in some cases. It's not too bad but it's a lot to swallow, so don't be afraid to ask questions or for help, okay?

[willynilly]

I won't! You might regret that, I'm sure I'll come up with a million questions! And then some.

[monolike]

No way, I'd never regret it! In fact, I challenge you to come up with just one hundred questions. If you can do that within a month, you get a prize!

[willynilly]

...Can they be questions about anything, or does it have to be more specific?

[scanninggaydis]

I haven't been here very long, but I'm going to guess we're probably not getting home until the people in charge want to let us go.

[The face on the screen is kind of...gruff but sympathetic at the same time? He shrugs a little.]

You'll get used to the space part.

[willynilly]

That's what I've heard, yeah...

[Bit nerve-wracking, considering how chill the vibe of this place is, actually.]

It's not like the space part is bad, really! It's kind of intimidating, that's all.

[scanninggaydis]

No, I understand. The last time I was on a ship like this, I was living with hundreds of people. It still felt too big and lonely sometimes.

[And they didn't even have the option of sometimes going down onto a planet.]

[willynilly]

Eh!? You lived with hundreds on a ship?

[Granted, the ship she's on now is big, but it's also very empty. Her voice keeps bouncing off the walls, and it's weird.]

Why so many?

[scanninggaydis]

[Okay,so hundreds might have been a small exaggeration, but not by that much.]

Military ship. We also took on some civilian refugees, eventually.

[willynilly]

[Well, it's more than empty, at least.]

Are you a soldier, then?

[scanninggaydis]

[There's a brief moment where he looks....uncomfortable? But then it's gone in a flash, and he just shakes his head.]

Was. I haven't been home in a while.

[Yeah, that's the reason he's no longer with the military.]

[willynilly]

[Oh dear, maybe she shouldn't pry.]

Oh... well, still! That must be an exciting life, then.
