Upside Down, Miss Jane

Who: Katie and You Lot
Broadcast: Yep
Action: Vanquish, Iskaulit
When: Now

[Alas, I have no upside down icons. But from all that curly hair floating every which way it wants to and the positively gleeful look on Katie's face, you can bet something weird's going on. Possibly to do with ribbons, as a whole array of colours are tangled round her shoulders.]

Did anyone else open their box? I absolutely don't recommend it. Terrible, no fun at all.

...can someone give me a lift to the Iskaulit? I need to test everything ever.

[She's not sure she can pilot a shuttle, given the fact she's currently bobbing gently upside down over her bed and all.]

-----

[UH SO YEAH she's findable on the Iskaulit one way or another, in most places except the interfaith centre or the fox park; the former because she never goes there while herself (sorry, Sorey) and the latter because she doesn't want to accidentally drop down and scare some foxes. But the bars? Check. Can she drink up here? Will the booze feel weird? Who knows? Bobbing above the pool. Playing in the arcade while wafting in the air like medusa. Take a ribbon, drag her around like a balloon, she doesn't care.

It's not consistent, sadly. Every now and then she crashes back to earth.

...s'okay. She always lands on her feet. Somehow.]

[GASP she's practically starry-eyed.]

You're floating!!

Of course I'm not. [With great amusement as she bobs around. Katie waggles a finger.] I'm a figment of your imagination.

[She giggles.]

My imagination is very realistic, then!

The best kind of imagination to have! [She likes you already. Katie likes gigglers in general, mind.] Please keep imagining me like this as long as possible, then.

Hmm... okay! Hang on-

[The video shifts as she juggles the communicator around, until it's propped up to show off the room (a very cute and decorated girl's room, to be precise). There's a moment's pause... and then Ochako comes back into view, "swimming" through the air as she floats by.]

I'm in your imagination, too! Woooo!

[kslfjaf adorable on all counts]

Oh, now I'm jealous! Can you do that normally, or just this week in particular?

I've been able to do it since I was little! Though it's only recently that I could do it like this without getting sick.

Well, not getting sick is a bonus. I'm terribly jealous now. I used to be able to do this as a kid, but it went away when I was seven.

Awww, for real? That's terrible! Having such a fun power and then losing it...

[floating is awesome and everyone should try it]

Hm, hm... this is a glitch, yeah? If you ever want to float again after this over, just give me a call! I can make other people float, too.

[g asp]

That does sound like fun. I shall have to see if I can return the favour! What's your name?

I'm Uraraka Ochako! It's nice to meet you!

And you don't have to do anything for me, it's just nice that my Quirk can be useful to someone.

I'm Katie! Is that what you call magic where you're from?

Umm... I guess kind of? If magic is what you'd also call super powers. Some of them probably look like magic.

[WAIT wait wait wait. She pulls her communicator right up close and peers at Ochako.]

...are you a superhero?

[For a couple of seconds, Ochako just grins and wiggles herself closer to the communicator, fishing through her pocket, until she's close enough to hold up a license, with her photo and the hero name "URAVITY" proudly on display.]

I'm a superhero in training!

[g asp the second]

You can train to be a superhero where you're from? That's amazing! Can anyone do it?

There's not really a rule for who can or can't try, as far as the Quirks go. Some are probably more suited for it than others, sure, but if you're determined and creative enough, anybody could make it work!

I bet I could be a superhero. If anyone even believed in them where I'm from.

[..........]

I can give you a ride if you like. But it looks like you've given yourself a lift already.

Tsk tsk. Puns at your age. [Cheerfully.]

In lieu of a lift, I suppose a ride would be lovely.

What's wrong with a good play on words? [solemnly] I know them all.

If you'll give me a few minutes, sure. You won't float off before then?

You'll have to give me lessons. I'm terrible at wordplay.

...I'll tape myself to the ceiling to make sure. You remember where I am?

Surely you'd rather have lessons from someone with a better mastery over words than me.

[a hum] Of course. I'll be over soon.

I'd rather have no lessons at all. [Contrary is fun.] I shall await your arrival with fishy breath.

That sounds a little boring. [contrary is not fun]

Fishy? [...] I'm on my way.

I ate too much tuna. It happens. [She absolutely wasn't making a pun about bated breath.]

See you soon!

[That's. Well, that's something. But Leia's first thought isn't a glitch. Instead it's--]

Is the gravity broken?

[...actually, Katie doesn't know. Her face falls.]

Do you think it could be? I suppose we could fix it easily, if that were the case.

[Leia frowns, just slightly. If it's localized to one room, she isn't sure how to fix the gravity. So she better make sure--]

Is anything else floating in there?

[Oh! Good point. She brightens again.]

I think it's just me! I suppose it's a glitch after all. A terrible tragedy.

[Talk about a mismatch of tone and speech. But at least the gravity isn't on the fritz.]

Having fun with this?

Not in the slightest. It's terrible, captains can't be upside down.

[She is definitely having fun with this.]

You could argue you're right-side up and the rest of the ship is upside-down, if that's a rule you'd like to stick to.

[oh Leia can tell. As far as glitches go, this one seems one of the more harmless sort.]

I'm terribly good at rules. [Or terribly terrible.] But if I do that, shouldn't I then make you all be upside down too?

How would you make the rest of us be upside down?

[Well she just said how, earlier. But Leia doesn't want to think anyone would go that far.]

No idea. Maybe convince you it was the funnest thing in the world. How would I go, do you think?

I think something like that is easier said than done. Being upside down doesn't sound like the most convenient thing to happen.
