Mochizuki felt awkward in the changing room. All the girls were chatting away with each other and she was just standing there feeling awkward and alone.
Jay is probably finished, maybe I'll meet him outside.
Mochizuki placed her suitcase at a spot she would remember and headed out to Ground Beta. As she was walking, she looked around, trying to see if she could spot her new friend.
Jay changed into his hero costume as quickly as he could, just wanting to get everything over with. Once he was finished, he left his suitcase near where he had changed. Then he left, heading to Ground Beta. He saw Mochizuki on the way there, so he walked over to her. He didn't say anything, but he decided to walk with her.
Hestia opened her case and went to the girls locker room to get changed. He costume was light blue sweatpants that went down bellow her knees a white crop top and a mini jacket that was the same shade of light blue. She put her hair up into a ponytail with a blue ribbon. She put on her sneakers and left the changing room slightly embarrassed about her outfit
Sun-mi was one of the students who was already looking forward to this. She knew generally what to expect from what she heard from her brother when he attended the school, and she was looking forward to start her training to become a hero and to hopefully continue with her goal of motivating others. It was clear as she took her suitcase and quickly went to the locker room and changed into her hero costume. Once she was finished, she began heading towards Ground Beta with the others.
(I have hers designed; I just can't describe clothes that well)
Jay walked alongside Mochizuki, but didn't say anything. Neither did she as she felt too awkward and didn't know what to say.
The students made it to Ground Beta where Yaoyorozu sensei was waiting. Ground Beta was essentially a giant city which could be used for training.
"Lovely costumes everyone!" Yaoyorozu sensai and clapped her hands, "I'll quickly explain the training exercise and we'll make teams. We'll have a villain's team and a hero team. The villains have a bomb which they are planning to set off in 30 mins. The hero's either need to acquire the bomb or captured both villains to win. For the villain's to win, they either need to successfully protect the bomb or capture both hero's. I'll be drawing names to see what teams we are in."
(How did we want to sort teams? There is 5 of us so we can't really split it evenly. Did we want to have a group of three v a pair. And did we want to group people together who already know each other or with someone new. I think we could do 2 heros v 3 villains, and pair up with people we don't know, like mochizuki x hestia and jay x sunmi x kosha. Althought River hasn't been active much in this rp so I'm not sure what happened to them)
(I'm not sure what happened to them, either. They joined this, but that's it. I'm not too sure if they've been active on other forums or not, as I'm not online much myself and only have one rp outside of this one. I'm not sure what to do, though, as they've said nothing about dropping out or being inactive)
(we could do mochizuki x hestia and jay x sunmi x kosha and kosha can be on a team with two others who are active and can post when they return or do return)
(That could work. However, would one team being written by the same person work out? Asking as Jay and Sun-mi are my characters. I haven't role played in a while, so I wouldn't really know if one sided strategizing is okay)
(We could do mochi x sunmi vs jay x hestia x kosha)
(That works out better so then all of the strategizing on one team isn't just one reply. I think that's a good arrangement. :) )
(Sweet!)
The students watched in a monitoring room of all of the battles. The class had some really powerful quirks and it was clear to see why they got into 1A.
"Ok the last group will be a pair and a group of three, since we have an odd amount of students." Yaoyorozu sensai said and she draw the names out of a box. Mochizuki was nervous. Both her and Jay hadn't been called yet and she really wanted to be on a team with someone she knew.
"So the teams are Mochizuki and Sunmi as the villains agaisnt Jay, Hestia and Kosha as the heros."
Mochizuki's faced dropped. She didn't know who Sunmi was and now she had to be on a team with her. The five students walked into the training grounds, the heros waiting at the base of the building and the villain's heading into it, where the bomb was.
Hestia nodded and looked around for the other people in her group. She looked around and saw whom she assumed to be Jay and Kosha. She walked up to the two of them. "Hello, you must be Jay and Kosha. I am Hestia. I have a plan. But I would like to know your quirks first." Hestia explained
(Internet was down. Sorry, guys! Just give me a sec)
(Sorry for letting this die for a couple of days. I was gonna reply quickly, but then I didn't want to force a reply, and then I decided just to take a couple of days off since my family can bother me or something else happens. Apologies for that, but I think it's safe to say I'm back! (still more on and off due to vacation, but back!))
Sun-mi glanced at Mochizuki before smiling at her. "Hey!" she said. "Before we start, we should introduce ourselves, and then we can discuss our quirks and come up with a plan! With that being said, my name is Sun-mi, and it's nice to meet you!"
From the brief conversation, it was clear that Sun-mi was a very upbeat, energetic type of person. She appeared to be rather friendly as well, just full on energy and determination on top of that.
Jay looked at Hestia before looking away from her. "That will be shown during our battle. As needed as it is for the battle, I don't need you refusing to work with me if you see it…" he sighed. "With that being said, if you wish to explain your quirk, go ahead."
(Also, since I went back to look at character sheets earlier, if I recall correctly, Kosha doesn't actually have a quirk. That would explain her absence, aside from the writer's apparent absence as well. And River, if you are reading this, apologies for sorta forcefully trying to add her if it came off that way. My memory sucks sometimes, so I forgot-)
"Uh, hi." Mochizuki looked down as she was walking the steps. "I'm Mochizuki Hikaru." The young girl's energy was a complete contrast to hers and Mochizuko didn't know how to respond to it.
Sun-mi glanced away for a moment. "Was that…too much?" she asked, then glancing back at Mochizuki. "That aside, I suggest we discuss strategies and stuff. I can make and use just about anything, so if I can figure out your quirk, I can work on a plan."
She had completely toned her energy down to be more calm and logical rather than energetic and impulsive. She didn't like hiding her nature, but she realized that successful communication could only occur if she did so. While she was energetic and seemed impulsive, unless she was angry, she was usually one to think things through. She didn't think she'd have to strategize just to communicate with someone, but she didn't mind, determined to be successful in this training.
Mochizuki noticed that Sunni lowered her energy. Was it because of me? Does she think I’m weird and is now feeling awkward?
“I can fly and my skin can glow very bright, but that’s about all I can do.”
(Was on a boat. I'm back! :) )
"Well, that's fine!" Sun-mi assured her. "You can provide distraction and look out for them. If you stun them with brightness, as long as I have an idea of where they are, I can still attack!" she explained, bringing some of her energy back. "And with how back and forth my energy's been, I'm not sure how much you can handle, and I want to make sure we communicate without issues. Just let me know what you're comfortable with!"
"Oh, ok." Mochizuki felt nervous. She didn't want to tell Sunmi how to act. But she decided to pull the focus towards the task and their quirks, "What's your quirk?"
"And no, I really don't mind it if you're wondering. Sometimes I forget that not everyone can handle super energetic people, so that's the first side I show, but I want to be friends with most people here, so it can change," she explained. "Well, until you get used to my energy. Anyways, with my quirk, I can basically create things out of ice, though I typically make weaponry for use in battle."
"Ok. Would you be able to make traps?" Mochizuki asked, an idea forming in her mind.
Sun-mi nodded. "I think I'd be able to make some traps. What kinda traps are you thinking? I can see that you may have an idea."
Mochizuki was nervous. She hoped that Sunmi thought her plan was good. "I was thinking that instead of you protecting the bomb, I could. I'm pretty strong and if someone gets to it, I can blind them and pick up and the bomb and fly away. And you could go around the building and lay a bunch of traps. That'll make it harder for the heros to get up here."
"True, true. I didn't have full knowledge of your quirk or your strength, so I hadn't considered that in my original strategy," Sun-mi replied. "With the knowledge that I have, I would say that your plan is definitely one of the best that we could come up with. If that's all good, then I'm probably going to start setting up some traps, as the activity is going to start soon."
“Ok. I’ll go to the bomb.” Mochizuki started heading to the top before she paused. “Good luck.” She said. If she was going to make more friends she should probably be inviting so she hoped her good luck wishes came across well.
(Hey, I'll be on later. In a mood from dinner, so I need some time to regain social energy. Hope you guys don't mind)
(Sorry for not replying for a while I was working through a couple things and taking a break from things due to my mental health I am doing much better now.)
Hestia took up Jay's offer and began to explain her quirk, "My quirk is Mist. I can create a light blue mist that can vary in thickness. I can see perfectly through the mist though others cannot. I hope that makes sense."
(That's fine! I've been super on and off due to vacation and being annoyed with my family and just kinda drained from forced socialization, so no worries!)
Sun-mi nodded in response to Mochizuki's plans as she headed towards the door. She turned around and glanced at the other with the good luck message and smiled. "Thanks. We've got this, but still, good luck to you, too!" she told the other before leaving to place traps.
Jay nodded. "That makes sense. You'll have to find a way to distract the villains with the mist while ensuring that I can still attack," he told her. "You can attack through your mist, as the villains won't be able to see you coming, but with two of them, it's best that we can both attack. If they're both in one place, we'll need a plan, but if they're in different places, we should be able to have one of us focus on one and the other focus on another."
(I needed to take a break too aha)
The timer starts now. Yaoyorozu sensei's voice came over the speakers.
Mochizuki took a deep breath. She needed to concentrate. The hero's could come from anywhere, she just hoped Sun-mi's traps would hold them off.
(It's fine! I'm probably gonna take a break for a few hours (unless I forget to come back for like a day), so I'll reply later)
