A bird’s eye view would definitely help... wait, quirk?

[ I mean... everybody’s pretty quirky somehow, but... wow, the gap in world knowledge is only getting wider. Sheesh, she’s been through dimensions so many times now, but now it’s just getting weirder. ]

[floatsaway]

Yeah, my quirk!! Mine is Zero Gravity and--...oh.

[Oh, that's right. Yuzu doesn't know about heroes, UA High, or even All Might. It's a no brainer she wouldn't know about quirks, either...i-if Ochako's hunch is right that they're not entirely from the same planet. She'd like to not think too deeply on that hunch being more and more possible, since it's only making her want to question things more and more, and spiral into that "what the heck is happening" hole, but--!! JUST GOTTA GO FOR IT! :) It'll all be fine. Totally fine.]

Well, a quirk is kind of like a superpower back where I'm from - or I guess the scientific term is called metahuman ability? Almost everyone is born with one, or manifests it at about five. Mine makes it so objects and people I touch with all five fingers float, cuz I remove their gravity! Let me show you.

[And she's going to take off her backpack, hold it in both of her hands gently, and sort of just...toss it up into the air and...

Watch it splat back to the ground. Um.]

...Eh? What--why didn't...?

[songstressedout]

A superpower...?

[ Well, she can't say she isn't intrigued. Still, superpowers... there definitely wasn't something like what Ochako just described in her world, but... oh, it didn't work? ]

Eh?

[ Ochako seems just as surprised. Judging by the way she was talking, she doesn't sound like she was making anything up... ]

[floatsaway]

[Ochako doesn't respond. She's far too focused on the fact that her quirk didn't activate that she sort of just...doesn't seem to really register anything or anyone right now. Reaching forward, she picks up the backpack again, with all five finger on both of her hands this time, and tries again. This time, she throws it up a little harder, a little higher...

And gets the same result. The pack simply arcs in the air slightly and crashes back down to the ground in a heap. This time, Ochako stares at it for a lot longer, then down at her hands, and pats her own cheeks. ...Nothing. Nothing at all.

And through the quiet, the building panic is clearly evident on the poor girl's face as she gets a little pale, and doesn't say a single word. Why? Why isn't her quirk working? What happened to it? It is gone?? Did someone or something take it? How?! How... How can she be a hero without a quirk?

She can't.

She can't.]

mm whatcha say

[songstressedout]

[ Yuzu can clearly see the panic on Ochako's face. If there's one thing she's certain of, it's that Ochako is telling the truth... and the fact that it isn't working is bad. ]

H-Hey! It's fine, I believe you! [ Wait, that's not the problem, is it? As someone without a quirk, as well as someone who's never heard of one before now, she's not sure what exactly is going through Ochako's head.

Well, she may not be sure, but she puts her hands on Ochako's shoulders to try and mentally ground her again. ]

I-I mean... take some deep breaths, okay?

[floatsaway]

[The sudden voice seems to bring her back down to Earth rather suddenly, and Ochako jolts and looks around wide-eyed. For a second there, she just...completely forgot Yuzu was even here, too focused on the fact that her quirk isn't working. She swallows down the tight feeling in her throat, chuckles a little nervously, putting on a smile that she knows probably doesn't seem as genuine as she tries to make it. Even little Cleffa seems to nuzzle against her legs a bit, sensing its Trainer's panic and try to calm her down. You're fooling no one, Ochako.]

Ah...eh. Ehehe!! S-Sorry, I...um. I-I guess my quirk doesn't want to work right now! That's kind of weird, a-and...never ha-happened to me before, but!! I-I'm sure if we head out to ask questions, i-it'll be explained or something! [She's rubbing at her arms, both in a nervous way to just...busy her hands, and also to try and activate her quirk on herself, in hopes that maybe it works on people, not objects. Works on herself, at the very least. No. It doesn't, and the awkward and nervous chuckle is tinged with a sob.] I'm fine, Yuzu-chan, d-don't worry, okay?

[songstressedout]

[ Yeah... she really isn't fooling anyone, least of all Yuzu. Once she hears that sob hidden in her attempt to sound calm, sound cheerful...

She's heard that kind of sob more than once before. She immediately hugs Ochako, wrapping her arms around the other girl. She may not understand what's going on or what Ochako is going through... but the fact is that it's hard on her.

So as long as that's true, she'll do her absolute best to comfort her. ]

[floatsaway]

[Tensing up slightly, Ochako makes a quiet sound of alarm in her throat from the sudden hug - she most certainly wasn't expecting that - but seems to just sort of sink into the hug a moment later and hold on loosely to Yuzu's shoulders. It's not a full or a deep hug, they did technically just meet not but a few minutes ago, but the gesture is appreciated regardless. She...needed that. Needed it a lot. And the more time that goes on, the more Ochako seems to release her inhibitions and tug Yuzu closer.

She really needed that hug.]

S-Sorry... [After a moment, the brunette pulls back, quickly scrubbing at her face, embarrassed and a little ashamed she couldn't keep it together as easily as she thought.] A-And um...thanks. We should...w-we should really get moving though.

[songstressedout]

[ Hey, if a person needs a hug, you better believe you’re getting one from Yuzu. Even if they have just met... the way she tried to hide the pain with a smile was all too familiar to Yuzu.

She knows someone who does that constantly, after all.

Still, she’s glad that she was able to help when Ochako pulled away. ]

Of course, any time!

[ She pumps her fist a bit. If there’s one thing she knows, it’s that they should try and be optimistic right now. They don’t know what’s going on? They’ll just have to find out, won’t they? In the first place, being optimistic is one thing Yuzu’s always been good at. ]
