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!?

[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.]

I've tutored students before when I was in college, so I already have some experience! Teaching people about the cosmos is one of my greatest passions!
no subject
Oh, hey, speaking of! You're an astronaut, right? You had space training, right!?
no subject
[It uh. Didn't go well, but not important here!]
no subject
Awesome! Awesome, awe-some! In that case, Mr. Clay... please...
[Can the camera pick up a devious glint in someone's eye? because she's got one now.]
Teach me how to not barf in Zero-G.
no subject
That's right! You've got gravity powers, right? Can you not use microgravity on yourself without throwing up?
no subject
[What, like a little bit???]
no subject
See, Zero-G is actually a misconception! That implies that there's no gravity in space, when in actuality, there's always a little bit of it! If there wasn't any gravity at all, then the Earth wouldn't orbit the sun, and the sun wouldn't even stay in place in the galaxy!
[He holds out the visor as if it were floating.]
When you see astronauts floating, that's not actually what's going on. But in that case, what's happening? They're all in free fall. Since the gravity's so low, they're not falling toward the planet, but around it. Everything in the space craft is falling at the same rate no matter the mass of the object, and that's why it appears like it's all floating.

Okay? O-okay!

Ah, did I lose you? Sorry about that! I can explain it better if it doesn't make sense!

Have you ever been on one of those amusement park rides, those ones where you're dropped from way high up and fall straight down for a while?
no subject
no subject
Well, did you know that if you hold out a cup of water in front of you as you drop, it'll fall at the same rate you do even without you holding it? So if you don't pay attention to anything else and only watch that, it'll look like it's floating.
