time to be heroic or something

[willynilly]

Broadcast: Yes!

When: Now and throughout the week


( starstruck )

[The camera clicks on to Ochako, who is in full costume for once! Sans the helmet, at least for now. It's tucked under her arm. She shuffles from foot to foot, waves, and then bows slightly.]

Hello everyone! I have a request. Would any of the fleet's engineers be able to make something for me? Like, um. Rocket-y? I heard about there being a jetpack a while back... so something like that is what I'm looking for. And if you know anybody who can do that sort of thing, please ask for me! All I know is maintenance, so I'm kinda useless when it comes to making cool gear... I can collect parts, though, if you need anything from the planet!

Oh, and I'm not asking for free! I can pay if you want money... well I don't have a lot but maybe I could pay over time? I can also cook for you and your ship, or bring my little bots over to clean, or... we can work something out!

[She pauses to think for a moment, puzzling over what she might have forgotten, and then-]

Right! The other thing! Is there anybody with super-strength who can help me practice? I want to try a few things that I can't do on my own.

Thanks, everybody!

[Ochako's in overdrive today! And all week, really. She's discovered the parkour course and is running through it, over and over, only taking small breaks between to catch her breath and get a drink. She's practicing activating and cancelling her Quirk in quick succession, using her temporary moments of weightlessness to launch herself into higher jumps over the equipment than her small legs would normally allow.

Sure, it means once in a while she loses control and faceplants spectacularly, but that's what practice is for!

When she isn't practicing, she'll be wandering around the Iskaulit, poking her head into rooms less-often visited to see what's changed, or tidying up the art therapy room she likes to visit since it's been mostly abandoned for a while now. She'll be all over at sporadic times.]

[reconstitution]

What are you practicing?

[willynilly]

Reaction time! And dealing with heavy attacks in a fight. Stuff like that.

[The video is just Fie holding up two grenades with a questioning look.]

[willynilly]

[Fie you are the best friend a girl could ask for]

That's plan B! I don't wanna blow my legs off just yet.

[sylphid]

[No, that's plan Fie.]

Oh, right. Let me know if you need money. I've got too much.

[She gets up to some shady shit sometimes.]

[wallcrawler]

[He is really hoping he's played with his network device properly and this response is anonymous, but honestly, the urge to help is kind of outweighing the paranoia around the whole "secret identity" thing right about now.]

Sooooo... what kind of super strength are we talking about, exactly? 'Cuz I mean, I can toss hired goons around like ragdolls, but I'm the last guy you'd call if you wanted to... I dunno, play football with an actual truck or something.

[willynilly]

[it's probably fine if he's wearing his costume anyway... she has yet to make the connection.]

If you can toss goons, that's fine! Even I'd have trouble tossing a truck around.

[A regular-sized car, maybe.]

I just need someone who won't get tired out to throw stuff at me!

[moseyin]

What d'you need to try out? [heyo super strength]

[willynilly]

I'm looking for somebody who can use me as target practice!

[c'mon cloud you totally want to throw shit at a little girl, right]

[uprightness]

[ why does she always give him mild heart attacks.... ]

what are plotting now?

[willynilly]

[Because she's a teenage girl, naturally. It's her job!]

Don't say plotting! You make me sound like a villain.

[mucked]

God, I hope Steve volunteers. If he does? I'll buy front row tickets to whatever it is you're doing.

[willynilly]

I'm working on it! You can come watch if you want, but I don't know how exciting it'll be yet.

[She might be hit on the first swing and get concussed, who even knows!]

[therewerefifty]

What sort of practice?

[Equal parts curiosity and concern, because why would you want people with super strength, that just sounds ominous.]

[willynilly]

Mostly evasion! I want to get better at stopping objects that are flying or falling at high speed. But it's not like that happens all the time out in the wild, so this is the idea I had to try it here!

video!

[nosferatanking]

My augment is engineering! I don't have much practice, but I'm sure if I had the materials I'd be able to put something together.

[This should sound a little bit terrifying for anybody that knows him.]

What exactly were you looking for?

[willynilly]

[WELL HECK all you can do is try, right??]

I need someone who can attach little rockets to my boots! Something to help me move faster and better in the air.

[spacebro]

I have super strength, but what kind of thing are you thinking about? [How old are you?]

[willynilly]

[not old enough to know better, clearly!]

Whoa, so many people who have super strength... you guys're popping up like daisies!

How strong are you? Can you throw heavy things super-fast?

[astrobleme]

[As it turns out, Ochako isn't the only person who likes to visit the art therapy room. It is mostly abandoned, and it has been for a while now, but that doesn't stop Shinji from delivering a fresh bouquet of flowers to it every week or so. (He grew them himself in the nearby greenhouse, believe it or not, from the seeds he's collected on various planets.) Today, he's got the blossoms arranged in a plain crystal vase, in all the colors of the rainbow, just in case another passenger wanders in here and wants to have a subject to paint. There's something determined, almost ritualistic, about how he sets the vase on a wooden stool in the center of the room. Maybe he's doing it in memory of something, or somebody.]

--Er.

[It's a little awkward when he hears the door open, because he doesn't have permission to be in here, technically, and maybe he's going to get in trouble, and that'd just be freaking great, wouldn't it, and...]

Oh, it's... [Relieved, but not entirely, he places a hand on his chest and exhales.] Ochako-san. Hey. Hey there. I didn't realize anyone else was interested in this place.

[willynilly]

[Her eyes widen as she spots him, but it's quickly replaced by an easy smile as she waves and heads in properly.]

You don't have to use -san! That's way too formal, and we're friends, right?

[She shrugs it off and glances around.]

I didn't know people came here, either. It's usually pretty quiet, but I like it! It's always so colourful... actually, I have some art supplies from the planet that I keep forgetting to drop off.

[Chuuya manages to catch her just as she faceplants, because of course he does. He stands nearby with his arms crossed.]

Someone's working hard!

[willynilly]

[Ohhhh god, that was embarrassing... hastily she scrambles to her feet, dusting off her costume and trying to save face.]

O-oh, yeah! I have a lot of work to do, after all.

[brothersboots]

[Ochako, you look stupid, but Edna is bored and she's been told that she needs to make more friends. Or something like that.]

What do you need someone with super strength for? Do they just need to be strong? Is that all?

[willynilly]

[wow!!! that's rude!! her costume is very professionally designed!]

Well... I guess super would just make it easier. Somebody strong enough to throw heavy stuff around would totally work!
