Who: Ochako & OTA
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: SS Starstruck
When: At the start of January

[For once, Ochako's not using voice or video, bursting with energy; instead it's a simple text entry, no fluff or even an emoticon.]

does anybody have something happy they're willing to share

like, something good that happened to them, or a nice story

it's the new year, right? i wanna start fresh with good things.

[Ochako's sort of taking over the Starstruck kitchen, and making a bit of a mess of it, though unintentionally- she's all out of sorts, things are floating when she doesn't want them to, and her attempts at making something as simple as cake batter are not going as planned. Crewmates might have noticed that she's been quieter than usual since after Christmas, and it's apparently hit a breaking point.]

[ There's something fascinating about seeing someone else display powers. Not that Kubo's ever considered himself to be the only one, but he was certainly the only one his age. ]

Woah. That's cool. It's a very useful power.

I think so, yeah! It's not as flashy as a lot of powers I know about, but I like it. Buuuut I'm also kind if biased.

Because it's yours, right?

[ Kubo loved his powers. He loved experimenting with them, trying new things. Quite often, he wasn't always in control but he never minded that. ]

Yeah... I mean, I've had it for so long. It would be weird to imagine myself with any other ability.

I'd definitely feel the same way if my magic changed like that.

I guess if someone had a really strong ability, it's not unusual to feel a little jealous... like, ooooh! They make being strong look so easy!

Do you know anyone like that? What are some of the powers you've seen?

Well, I'm going to school for hero training back home, so my whole class is full of super strong people! Our teachers are strong, too. At the top of our class is Todoroki-kun- he can control fire and ice- and Bakugou, he can make his sweat explode. And Deku, of course- he's so strong, he wrecked a huuuuge robot with one punch!

[ He wonders what that must be like. Meeting kids his own age who are just like him. Having friends, being able to play with them. It seems so strange compared to his own life but Kubo has seen enough of the village to believe in it. ]

You're so lucky.

Ah... I guess I am.

[Lately she hasn't felt very lucky, but it's true that she's been pretty fortunate throughout her life. Knowing people with other Quirks is just a normal thing for her; she'd grown up since early childhood with other kids who had powers, and she got to attend the best school in Japan in order to train those powers with other incredible students. Even this place isn't the worst ever.

She can't imagine being alone with her ability.]

...Well, now you have me! We should train together!

Sure, but . . . I don't know the first thing about training.

[ Or his magic. It's not like anyone explained it to him. ]

That's okay! I'm pretty new to it, myself. We can learn together!

Are you sure about that?

Huh? Why wouldn't I be sure?

[ Kubo doesn't know how to voice it quite clearly. ]

Like I said, I don't . . . know much.

[She still doesn't really get it, but she doesn't need to understand fully in order to recognize that he's unsure. Only one thing to do: barrel on through it!]

I don't mind. We can work on it together, so let's be friends!

[ He softens a little at that. ]

Okay.

[She beams, as if that's settled. And in her mind it basically is.]

I'm Uraraka Ochako! What's your name?

My name is Kubo.

It's nice to meet you! I look forward to working with you, Kubo!

[ His smile widens a bit more. ]

Same here.
