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.]

[Her eyes widen.]

I haven't! I've fought lots of people with different Quirks now, but nothing like my own...

[mrfancyhat]

[He chuckles, putting a hand on his hip.]

Well! There's a first time for everything! Though don't think I'll go easy on you 'cause you're a little girl.

[He likely will, but he's not just gonna tell her that. It's cooler to say he isn't!]

[willynilly]

[wow dude settle down she barely even knows who you are.]

Ummm... I'm usually supposed to have supervised spars with adults.

[mrfancyhat]

[With adults, right. He nods.]

That's fine. You can get one and get back to me when you do. I don't care how long it takes, even if it takes days. [A beat.] Gravity versus gravity. This is an experience I can't miss out on.

[willynilly]

[...awww, but she really does want to try it, though. It sounds so awesome...]

W-well... maybe we could still try a few things! I wanna see how your powers work, I've never even met anybody with a gravity Quirk before!

[mrfancyhat]

[She wants to see how his works. Simple enough! Chuuya activates his ability, causing him to have a red glow. He lightens himself and flips, holding onto his hat, and stands on the ceiling with a smug look on his face. He stops holding his hat, because holding onto it is not necessary when it won't fall off while his ability is activated.]

Like this?

[willynilly]

[Her response is a muffled gasp, hands over her mouth, eyes wide as they can go.]

S... so fast! How did you do that!?

[mrfancyhat]

[He drops back down, causing the floor to quake lightly.]

My ability allows me to manipulate the gravity of anything I touch, including the density within myself.

[willynilly]

[She can't help it, clapping quietly as she watches, fascinated.]

Amazing... all I can do is turn the gravity on and off, so it's hard to get the momentum to move that quick.

[Oh man. Seeing him in action makes her wince at the thought of fighting him. He'd wipe the floor with her, using powers like that- maybe even worse than Bakugou.]

[mrfancyhat]

Oh yeah?

[Her having the same kind of power than he does, but it working differently... That actually piques his interest.]

Can it change? For instance in my world, some can learn to control their abilities better, which can make a huge difference in how it works.

[willynilly]

Change...?

[Oh yeah, that had come up during the training camp, hadn't it.]

I guess it can if you hone it, but there are still limits. I have to be able to touch whatever it is to make it float. See?

[She lifts her hands up to show her fingers, where there's a distinct circle on the tip of each digit- sort of like a cat's paw.]

[mrfancyhat]

[That he did not see coming!]

Oh! That--!

[He's so shocked, he can't find the right words to express his shock!]

I see! So that's how it works... Ah! That's different!

[willynilly]

[she nods enthusiastically.]

Yeah, see!? So I bet it would be pretty tricky...

[The advantage he'd have is preeeetty obvious. And yeah, she's used to tackling superior foes, but it tends to end poorly for her when she goes solo.]
