Why'd You Kill the Merchant?!

[sansseraph]

Who: ALL O' Y'ALL
Broadcast: If you want
Action: FRICK YEAH PARTY AT THE JUNKYARD...I mean, Waystation. Junkstation.
When: 10/07 - Event End

It looks more like a junk heap than a waystation, but luckily there aren't any math fetishists to add you to the pile (hopefully). Talk to the scavengers and heed their warnings...if you want. Or perhaps you'll approach a shady individual for purchasing or selling stuff.

"Welcome, stranger!"

[Okay. Okay!! She's here to help, she can't chicken out now. Water's always cold when you first get in. And this isn't as chilly as the ocean she's used to.]

...Right. 1, 2, 3... go!

[With a running jump she lunges right into a deeper part of the water, disappearing beneath the surface for a moment. Within seconds she bursts back to the surface, eyes wide.]

So... refreshing...!

[Might take a minute to, uh, acclimate.]

[foxpas]

... If you will pardon my saying so, you do not look terribly refreshed...

[She's shivering a bit, but otherwise fine.]

[willynilly]

No, no, it's not bad! I just need to get used to it.

[She keeps herself submerged up to her neck, treading water as she adjusts.]

It helps if you move around, so try sitting down and kicking your feet in the water! It's good practice for real swimming.

[foxpas]

[She mimics Ochako, sitting down and kicking.]

Is this part of swimming?

[willynilly]

Yup! An important one. Your arms don't do as much to keep you afloat in the water, so you have to rely on keeping your legs kicking. It's kind of a balancing act, arms and legs working together.

[foxpas]

... And attempting to keep the tail from getting in the way, I suppose.

[learning shit from people without extra limbs is so hard.]

[willynilly]

[Hmm, yeah, that's something she's not sure she can really help with.]

Does it get in the way when you run?

[foxpas]

Not unless I specifically hold it down, or it is held down by my skirt or something of the sort. Rather, I cannot run without it, having no sense of balance without it.

[A patch of her lower back, specifically the skin around where her tail meets her spine, is covered in a large scar. And she's talking about being without her tail like she's actually experienced it. She seems rather casual about all of this, though.]

[willynilly]

[Since she's so chill about it, Ochako doesn't quite pick up on that.]

I wish Ojiro was here... he could probably tell you. He does all kinds of stuff with his tail.

[foxpas]

"Ojiro"? Is he a friend of yours?

[probably good, ochako.]

[willynilly]

Yeah, he's in my class back home. His tail is huge! And his control over it is really impressive. It never seems to get in his way.

[foxpas]

I imagine it would not, any more than your arms would.

Is that his 'quirk'?

[willynilly]

Yup! Some people have power based quirks and others have physical. And some have powers that come from the physical. There's a big variety!

[foxpas]

Oh, I see! His tail must do something special, then?

[willynilly]

Really special! He can use it like a weapon, or to move faster, or to hang upside down... it's really neat. Like one giant, fluffy muscle.

[foxpas]

... He can hang from it? That truly is impressive.... My tail hurts just thinking of it.

[willynilly]

I guess it all depends on what it's there for. You said your tail was for balance, yeah? His is like an extra limb.

[foxpas]

That is right. Mine is not nearly so strong as that. I wonder if I should train it more... What kind of tail is it?

[willynilly]

It's... an Ojiro tail?

[That is unhelpful, but honestly, how to even describe it?]

I guess it kind of resembles a lion tail, except it's really, really thick? But it's short-haired and muscle-y and it has a fluffy end.

[foxpas]

... That sounds quite unusual...

[but i want to meet this guy and we can talk about muscles and how to train tail muscles because damn.]

If it is so muscular, it should lose flexibility and use in martial arts, but he may use it as a weapon?

[willynilly]

I haven't noticed him having much trouble with flexibility... but I can understand how that might limit him, yeah. I wonder what he'd say to that.

[foxpas]

... I wonder if I could spar with him, too...

[I WANNA FIGHT PEOPLE]

[willynilly]

[Man she sure does like to fight. No wonder she was friends with Bakugou.]

He'd probably be okay with that, if it was for training. We fight each other all the time at school.

[foxpas]

[look it's fun ok]

You as well?

[willynilly]

I've never fought with him one-on-one, but we've done team exercises together! He's a pretty easygoing guy.
