[ The camera opens up on... Escha's little white hat on top of her head! But with a quiet, sheepish laugh, she adjusts the angle to her actual face. With a smile, she sits back, and waves at the camera. ]

Hi, everyone! I'm Escha, and, well, I'm still a little new here, so I don't know many of you - but for anyone who doesn't know, I'm an alchemist!

[ Which might be... slightly obvious, considering that in the video shot, you can see that she's surrounded by books, scattered notes (and pens), a few flasks filled with liquids, some jars full of items... Also, specifically, there are a few masks on the table beside her that she bought planetside, and a whole rack full of corked test tubes, with Mist inside. ... Yep, Escha went down there and scooped that Mist into test tubes. ]

And, well, I've been really curious about this mist on the planet! They use it like a fuel source, so I'd love to see if I can use it for some of the same things! And, even if I can't, maybe it has other properties that would be beneficial? I know it makes people... sick... [ Putting it lightly, much?? ] so maybe there's something I can make to help with that? Or! At the very least! Maybe I can improve on these mask designs using some other things we have that maybe the planet doesn't?

[ A pause... and then another sheepish laugh, and an embarrassed (but sincere) smile. ]

I'm sorry for rambling, I just got a little carried away with my enthusiasm. Anyway! If anyone has any ideas, or wants to help me, let me know! Maybe if we work together, we can figure out a whole lot more about this mist and this planet!

[ omg hi new friend!! ]

I think so! You can make things lighter, right? [ She still thinks that's so cool, her eyes light up just talking about it fjdskl! ] Do you think... maybe if there was some mist that was concentrated enough, could you make it lighter and maybe push it away?

[ It's a half-baked thought that only just occurred to her, but maybe it's a starting point! ]

[willynilly]

We-ell, close, but not quite! My Quirk is to erase gravity around whatever I touch. I guess it kinda does the same thing, though. Anyway! I could give it a shot... mist might be a tough thing to "touch", though.

[Wouldn't it be like touching millions of teeny particles at once? She's never tested her number limits before...]

[appletart]

Oh my gosh, that sounds even cooler! [ She gets a little starry-eyed, even. It's just so neat!! ]

But you're right, mist probably would be pretty hard to "touch"... Ohh! But something that pushes the mist away would probably work better if it's in the air instead of on the ground! Don't you think?

[willynilly]

[eh-heh heh... she'd not used to this praise, most everyone back home has way cooler Quirks than her, and so many here have cool powers...!]

That's true, we could try something like that! I can lift anything as long as it's less than around three tonnes. Or lots of little-somethings that weigh about the same!

[appletart]

Three tonnes? [ Whoa! ] That's a lot! Don't worry, anything I make will definitely be much smaller than that!

Hey, how did you get your Quirk, anyway? -- Just curious! I mean, you don't have to answer, if that's too personal.

[willynilly]

It's not too personal at all! Quirks are really normal where I come from, just about everyone has one. It just suddenly happens between when you're born and when you turn four. One day I was a regular kid, and the next day I could float stuff!

[appletart]

Amazing! Honestly, If I could have floated stuff as a kid, I probably would have gotten into a lot trouble around the family orchard... [ But she looks amused about it, at least~ ]

Do other people have similar Quirks then? Or are they all different?

[willynilly]

Hee hee.

[Yeah, she definitely did for a while, until she could control it.]

Some people do! A lot of Quirks are genetic, so the same one might run in the family. And some are kinda similar but not exact- a friend of mine's mom can float stuff, but that's telekinetic instead of gravity-based. There's loooooads of different kinds in the world.

[appletart]

Ohhh, I see! We don't have things like Quirks where I come from... But, well, there is my friend Wilbell, who's actually a witch! That's a secret, though. Not that it really matters here. I know magic is a lot more out in the open here.

[ She's still getting a hang of this different worlds thing - she's got the big picture of it down! But little details, like how Quirks aren't the same as magic, are gonna need a little more thinking through... ]

[willynilly]

Whaaat, magic, really!? That's so cool!

[wait, but if they're keeping it on the down-low-]

If it's important to you and your friend, I'll keep it a secret, too!
