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.]

[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?

Ah... no, sorry, I never did. Sorey mentioned him, but I couldn't hear any seraph's voice until recently.

[She kinda knows that it was sad, and a big deal when he left, but besides that he's a mystery to her.]

It feels nice, though! Like the real outdoors, not like the rest of the ship.

How? Did you never pay attention to the network? We do talk on there a bit.

[Edna uses it to troll people, but still.]

Well, that's because seraphic artes are part of the seraph themselves. [You're basically standing on Edna, Ochako. Congrats.] It would be sorta stupid for an Earth seraph to not be able to make a real mountain.

I guess I didn't notice.

[Not like they're going "hey, I'm a seraph!" left and right.]

That makes sense, though. Can you turn into earth too?

Then you should pay attention. We can't use the video function, but voice and text work just fine.

[They never say that. It's just dumb.]

No. Why would I want to? I can create a boulder, but I'm not a boulder.

[She was born from an earthpulse though.... Not that she'll tell Ochako.]

Well, no, of course not. But I have a friend back home who can turn his skin super-hard like rock, and he loves it! I just thought it might be fun.

[Maybe it isn't as much fun as Kirishima makes it seem, who knows.]

Why would I want to let anyone get close enough to me to use a rock skin? I could just throw rocks at them and they couldn't touch me. Or I could just punch them unconscious if they were stupid enough to try.

[Ochako, common sense is your friend.]

Now, do you want my help or are you just going to keep staring at me like an idiot?

[That's not exactly what she meant, but okay, Edna. Some people are just easily angered, and she's spent enough time around Bakugou and the like that it just kinda rolls off. She shrugs her shoulders and steps back a bit.]

Hmm, okay! How do you want to do this? You can throw rocks and stuff?

[Edna isn't really angry, just easily annoyed. Cranky old lady stuck in the body of a twelve year old girl.]

Of course I can throw them. And I guess if you get hurt, I could even heal you. I don't want you to tell Sorey I beat you up or something.

[She's not awful. Mostly.]

If you go down to the grove, we can see how well you can avoid the boulders and keep the trees from being crushed too.
