time to be heroic or something

Who: Ochako & you!
Broadcast: Yes!
Action: 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!

( 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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[By a blind person, obviously. Whoever thought it was a good idea should be ashamed of themselves.]

Okay, but what do you think is heavy? I've found that that's subjective, not objective.

[Wow don't let Bakugou hear that.]

Ooh, good point! Hmm... I guess for me, without using my Quirk, around 25kg and up? Anything more than that would be pretty unwieldy to throw a good distance!

[She ain't skurred. Bring it, squishy human things.

Quirk? What the heck?]

25kg? That should be doable. What are you doing this all for?

I'm training. I want to learn how to evade and move heavy stuff more effectively, but I can't learn how to do it all by myself.

Well, which is more important to you right now? Moving it or evading it?

[What are you talking about? She doesn't sound pleased about the thought of throwing rocks at people.]

And does it have to just be things thrown at you or do you need to train your actual reflexes?

Iiiit's all of the above! But mostly evading stuff coming my way. I can practice moving different weights on my own time. I need help for this kind of thing.

Fine. Then I can help. Come to the Iskaulit. Look for a giant mountain.

[What? She is trying to be nice to someone who isn't so annoying. It's not like she's bored. Or influenced by Sorey. Not at all.]

And if you don't see me, that's normal. I'll see you.

...Don't see...

[!!!]

Oh! Are you... a seraph?

[Signal an actual smile from the taciturn seraph.]

I take it you know Meebo and Grampveid. Yes, I'm a seraph.

[G A S P this is so!!! exciting!!!]

I dunno what a Meebo is, but I know Zaveid! I heard his voice when we were making a snowman one day with Fie. And I'm friends with Sorey, too!

[WHY ARE YOU SO EXCITED? She is literally making fun of her own friends.]

So, you're saying you can't actually see seraph yet, but you're friends with Sorey. Well, that helps. I won't have to repeat myself and you won't freak out if a large rock starts floating in the air.

Are you coming or not?

[Eh, she's known worse. About half her class is some variant of asshole.

also FLOATING ROCKS that's her kind of dealio. Her excitement is not going down any time soon.]

Sorry, sorry! I'll be right there, sit tight!

[No lie she is zooming over there as quick as a shuttle will carry her. It does take her some time to find the mountain, because what the heck since when is there a mountain on the Iskaulit, so when she finally arrives she ends up gawking at it.]

Whoooaaaa... it's like a whole park...!

[Well, that's what she asked for, right? Edna's here to not be bored. If that helps Ochako, that's a secondary benefit. Excitement is not necessary.

However, Edna is waiting on top of her mountain for the girl, booted feet kicking as she twirls her umbrella in impatience. She's not left waiting too long, however, so that's why she bothers to comment.]

It's not as impressive as my mountain back home, but it'll do.

[Ochako hadn't noticed her at first, so she starts at the voice, wide eyes traveling up, and up, and-]

Ah! Wait, you're...!

[She scrambles her way up the little mountain until she's standing face to face with Edna.]

I can see you! It's you, right!?

[Edna puts her umbrella between herself and the girl. She's a little surprised at being seen so easily, but that definitely makes this both easier and harder. Something she'll have to consider for later.]

Just how much time have you been spending around Sorey? I don't remember seeing you before now.

[Not to be deterred, Ochako tries to subtly peer around the edge of the umbrella. She's curious, so sue her.]

Well, I haven't been on the Huntress a whole lot... but we go adventuring sometimes, on new planets! It's been a really long time, though. I didn't think I'd ever get to see a seraph!

[P E R S O N A L S P A C E, look it up. Edna moves the parasol so that Ochako only gets glimpses of her face and head. It's a new game that she can keep up for a while.]

You're not missing a lot. Just plants. And seraph. And that Sansa girl and her wolf.

If you don't have resonance but spend enough time around us, you can build it up. Of course, this place speeds that up a lot.

[Awww, look at her, she's shy. Thanks precious. Ochako crouches down, trying to look under it.]

Yeah, Sorey mentioned that! I guess my resonance or whatever finally kicked in, maybe because of Gramps. That's so cool!

[Shy, her cute booted foot. She's bored and this cheap amusement. She'll tire of it soon enough. Edna pulls the end of the parasol so that Ochako catches one blue eye in the seraph's face.]

You call him Gramps? I bet he loves that.

[GASP there she is. Kind of? She beams happily and waves.]

Only because Fie does. I think it's kind of funny- she says he's an old man, but he doesn't really sound it.

[He sounds like one of her teachers or something.]

[Edna doesn't wave, but she does pull down the edge of her weapon enough so the girl can see two blue eyes over the rainbow colored fabric.]

He's as old as I am. But not as smart. I don't know Fie, but you can thank her for me. Grampveid needs to be reminded of his age.

["Old as I am"... this is one of those seraph things, right? Because she totally doesn't look it.]

Oooh, Grampfied is a good one, too! I'll remember that. I'm Uraraka Ochako, by the way. What can I call you?

[It is most definitely one of those seraph things. Or is it?]

You may call me Lady Edna. [It's what Alisha calls her, after all.] And this is my mountain.

Nice to meet you, Lady Edna. It's a pretty mountain, but where did it come from? Did you make it?

[She is sort of happy that this girl is taking her literally. Considering the rest of the seraph tried to make it an insult.]

I'm an Earth Seraph, as is my brother. He, Mikleo and I created what you see. And if you go into the tiny grove, there's a breeze that Dezel made.

[She pulls her parasol back up so that she can keep her cool facade. No one is going to see her breakdown over the Sharkface.]

You met him before he left, right?
