( 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!

( iskaulit )

[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.]

I guess there's no real guarantee. But I'm at least gonna start with, like, pillows and exercise mats before I let somebody throw a car at me!

[therewerefifty]

Cars seem like they would be extremely heavy and harmful to catch for most.

[She's not outright worried because well. She's probably missing something that's obvious to Ochako. So--]

Do you have some sort of gift, Ochako-chan?

[willynilly]

Gift... oh! Yes. It's called a Quirk where I come from. I can remove gravity from things that I touch. It makes them really light and easy to move around!

[therewerefifty]

[Oh good.]

That sounds like a very useful skill. Are there drawbacks?

[But now she's just asking out of curiosity. You do you, girl.]

[willynilly]

Oh sure. It can be kind of limiting when it comes to fighting- I can't do anything if I can't actually reach the person, after all! - and if I go over my weight limit, I get sick and sometimes pass out.

[therewerefifty]

I wish you luck in finding help. I'd offer, but... I don't have much in the way of the strength that you need.

[willynilly]

That's okay! You're good at lots of other stuff, right? And encouraging me is plenty, too!

[Support is important, after all.]

[therewerefifty]

[Well I guess if you ever need someone dismembered...]

Have you found someone to assist?

[willynilly]

A bunch of people offered! I think I'm in good hands, assuming they follow through. I only know like half of them.

[therewerefifty]

[It's one of those rare occasions Makie actually takes a moment to listen in on all of these offers. She...doesn't know any of them. Which is no surprise, lbr. Still.]

Your crewmate with the light hair seems nice.

[willynilly]

Light- oh! Mr. Rogers? Yes, he's very nice! And real strong, too. I think he'll be perfect for this.

[therewerefifty]

Then I'll leave you to your training.

[She's half tempted to ask if she can watch out of sheer curiosity, but maybe some other time.]

[willynilly]

Thank you! I'll let you know how it goes. And I owe you tea and mochi sometime, too.

[now, time to get chunks of concrete thrown at her head or something.]
