Who: Uraraka Ochako | OTA
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Starstruck, Iskaulit
When: Today, after the fleet leaves the system


[Cue Ochako setting the communicator up and bouncing back, waving like it's some kind of peppy vlog. Cheers, everyone!]

Back to space we go! I don't know about everybody else, but I'll be glad that I don't have to keep wringing my clothes out all the time.

Anyway! That's not the point of this! While we're here, I was thinking... we've got a lot of kids with special abilities around here now, don't we? Or even just kids who wanna get stronger. The fleet is mostly safe, but sometimes things happen, and... well! Everyone benefits when we know what we're doing, right? Right!

Okay, so for everybody who doesn't know him, my teacher, Aizawa-sensei, is here! He's kind of a recluse so you probably wouldn't think it but he's really strong, and his teaching skills are top-notch! Back home, he's my homeroom teacher at the best heroics school in the world! He knows what's what. I bet he could teach anyone.

I was thinking, wouldn't it be nice to have a school here? Not just for superpowers, though I think that sort of thing is important... but I've never been out of school this long in my life. I feel like I'm getting dumber by the day. And it could be fun! We could make a classroom on the Iskaulit, we could get books and put together a real class and- oh, uniforms! We could get uniforms if we wanted!

Anyone interested!?

( Wandering )

[Ochako starts off on the Starstruck, taking care of her various chores while she covers responses, but at some point she'll venture over to the Iskaulit, poking around some of the rooms - both existing and unclaimed - to scout out what space is free in the vicinity of the library. She's humming to herself some upbeat song, visibly and very obviously in a good mood.]

[foxpas]

I agree... Perhaps we should spar sometime.

I wish to learn to break curses.

[willynilly]

Okee doke!

[she'll probably get properly thrashed but hey, this is how we learn.]

Curses, huh... does that come up a lot?

[foxpas]

[she has beaten up bakugou before, that's all i'm saying]

No, but there is a man here cursed into a form not his own. I wish to help him, but my own abilities are insufficient.

[willynilly]

[yep, doomed]

Oh no... that's awful.

[She doesn't really understand the mechanics of that - curses aren't exactly normal where she's from - but around here, who knows.]

I don't know if Aizawa-sensei knows anything about learning that kind of skill, but maybe someone else will know? We could ask around!

[foxpas]

Yes... I will ask around. Your teacher is as good a place to start as any, is he not? He may know things.

[willynilly]

Yeah! If he knows about curses, that would be cool, and if he doesn't, maybe he'll know someone who does!

[foxpas]

... Although, if he is a recluse, perhaps he might not know many people's powers....

[willynilly]

W-well... he's really observant, though. So maybe he's seen someone use powers that could be related to curses!

[foxpas]

There is no harm to be had in asking, anyway!

[willynilly]

Right, I'll ask him, then!

He says maybe to ask Kubo? But "don't get your hopes up".

[she says this in her very bad very best Aizawa Voice.]

[foxpas]

Kubo.... I do not know them, but it is a start! Thank you, Ochako, and Aizawa-sensei.

[SHE THINKS HE'S CLOSE ENOUGH TO OVERHEAR TBH]

[willynilly]

Kubo's on the Starstruck with us. I'm gonna ask if he wants to come to school, too, actually. He has fun powers that I'm sure he could learn how to use better, too.

[foxpas]

Then I'll ask him, should I see him at this school.

[willynilly]

Okay! I'd be happy to introduce you!

[foxpas]

I would like that a lot. I have regrettably not been as social here as I would like...

Ah, although, may I ask what will be taught here? I may offer my expertise in swordsmanship, if naught else.

[willynilly]

Ummm, well, we're still working it out. First we need to get the teachers organized, then find out what they can teach, then figure out if enough people are interested in a full class or just one-on-one tutoring...

...turns out it's a lot of work to set up a school!

[foxpas]

I had suspected it was. I admire your spirit in putting this work in.

I would formally offer my services to teach the sword, then.

[willynilly]

I don't know anyone but you who uses a sword, but I'll tell sensei about it! If the school's going to be teaching people how to fight, we should be able to offer a variety of options.

[foxpas]

Yes... Surely there must be more than just me. Or those who would like to learn.

[THERE MUST BE, RIGHT....... please tell her it's not all guns all the time now.]

[willynilly]

Oh, probably! Swords are popular, after all. And pretty cool, besides! Anyway, plenty of people use other weapons. Captain Rogers uses a shield. And Max would use anything he can get his hands on!

[foxpas]

... A shield as a weapon?

[what the fuck, dude.]

[willynilly]

[listen her teacher uses strips of facewraps she sure as heck can't judge]

Yeah! You'd be surprised at how efficient he is with it! He can bounce it against all sorts of things in a way that makes it come right back to him. It's neat!

[foxpas]

It bounces back...

He throws his weapon?!

[willynilly]

Uh-huh! It's pretty amazing to watch, actually.

[what is there a problem??]

[foxpas]

I have scarcely heard of anything more foolish.

[WHY THIS]
