001🌙 Arriving

[A] Video A little Hungry

---

[After arriving, Ochaco's on the move away from the Bay and into Genessia City proper. She's been wandering for a while, mostly trying to come up with what to do with herself. She's looking at her phone and other newly acquired items. At this point, her stomach rumbles. With a sigh, she opens her phone up to send a short, inquisitive message.

Because she can handle everything else on her own. She can stand on her own two feet.]

This is kinda a weird question, but is there anywhere anyone would recommend to get something to eat to someone who just showed up here? I'm actually kind of hungry.

[B] Action Exploring Nova City

---

[Back home, things technology wise are kind of amazing sometimes. A lot of it can be attributed to all of the superpowers people wound up with and the technology that was developed as a result of and because of these abilities. But Nova City? Is on a completely different level.

Those who are in the city might come across an Awestruck Ochaco staring up at the flying vehicles and large shiny buildings. She's even stopped at one point at what looks like an impossibly high tech arcade, hands in fists in front of her as she watches someone play some complicated looking game with a whole bunch of flashing lights.

Or, perhaps you've got your own personal cheering squad, because you must be doing absolutely amazing at the game you're playing!]

Oh, keep going! You're almost there! You can do it!


[C] [Closed Text] Katsuki

[It's not long after her impromptu arrival and introduction Via Weiss' hologram that she's opening up her new phone and thumbing through the list of people on it. She spots several familiar names and immediately messages two of them. Starting with Bakugou first.]

Uh, Bakugou? Is this really you?

[D] [Closed Text] Deku

---

[And without really waiting to get an answer from Bakugou, she's flipping to her next message. This one a little less incredulous than the first]

Hey. Deku it's Ochaco, um...
You're okay right?
How long have you been here?

Hi there! Welcome to Genessia!

There should be some restaurants near The Bay, where you woke up. What kind of food do you like? There are tons of options!

[zerograv]

Oh, right! I think I saw a few places... But there's just so many I thought I'd get a few recommendations.

[she pauses a little.] I'm not actually that picky, so if you have a favorite, I'd be happy to try that!

[priceofmagic]

Oh, in that case! Why not try some of the pizza in Attleton? They have sooo many options! I still haven't tried them all yet, but the one with chicken on it is really yummy!

I'm Satou Kuroneko, by the way.

[alwaysimpaled]

Just about any pizza place in Attleton will give you a discount if you tell 'em I sent ya. I think I've put several kids through college just eating there.

[zerograv]

Oh wow, really? You must be pretty well known. But um...

[she laughs a bit here.] What name do I give them exactly?

[alwaysimpaled]

Might say that. [He gives a shrug.]

Name's Dante. I'm the Attleton Guardian... and also I basically live on pizza and strawberry sundaes.

[midorkiya]

[Midoriya is beat. It feels like he's finally at a point where he can take a breather, so he slumps into a booth at Fairy Tail. He should probably eat something, the adrenaline is starting to wear off and now his appetite is at war with his weariness.]

[His phone beeps and he jumps a little. Given that most of the people he knows in this place don't really like him too much, he handles the device with faint trepidation. But the name he sees doesn't make him slump further in his seat. He jumps right out of it with a newfound energy. Ochaco is here?!]

[He's so excited that he hits 'call' instead of 'reply.']

GAH! No, that's not it...

[Then he's caught. Hang up and text? Is that weird? It might be weird. He should stay on the line, it's already started ringing. No! No, she texted for a reason, maybe she's embarrassed and isn't up for a call--]

[Meanwhile on Ochaco's end, her device rings sporadically only to go silent after a few seconds. Then a text.]

:+

[Shoot, that was supposed to be a smile! A smile emoticon was lame anyway. Wait, are Pluses for mouths lame?! Forget it, he'll just call!]

[The phone rings again.]

[zerograv]

[It's a very confusing few seconds for Ochaco. The first ring at least goes on long enough for her phone to identify it as Deku. But then he hangs up. was he busy? Did he butt dial? That sounds like something that'd he do.

Then the confusing face. Was it supposed to be puckering its lips? Thinking? Ochaco's brows knit a bit as she starts to type a reply. It's mostly just question marks when the phone rings again. ...And her thumb presses the button to answer the call just as she was trying to type something else. So instead of anything intelligent at first there's a little yelp before she pulls the phone up to her ear.]

Hello!? Deku, is this you? Is your phone not working?

[midorkiya]

H-hey! HEY! No, it's working fine.

[His brain, on the other hand...]

Oh, and I'm okay too! Er...you asked in the text, so I wanted to let you know.

[This is going so much worse than the last time he tried talking to her on the phone. --Great, was that Monoma who just walked by?! Maybe he didn't see Izuku. He slumps quickly back down into the booth seat, hoping he's more inconspicuous this way, unaware that his fate is sealed.]

Just a couple of weeks. Did you just get here? Where are you? I'll come meet you!

B

[fashionably_strong]

[While Bulla would normally take this to the holodeck instead of an arcade, she's a bit tired from all of the searching for Orihime. Now that her friend is safe and in the hospital, there's still some pent off energy to work off.

This holographic fighting game is a perfect way to do that without the strain of fighting an opponent that can actually hurt her. It provides an immersive experience and the chance for the player to go through a full cardio workout fighting hologram opponents. Bulla's been playing it on hard mode, and she's had a few people pause to watch as she played. This girl is the first one to openly cheer her on.

She sweeps the feet out from the final boss, whirling her body around mid-air to follow through with a heel drop kick to the boss' abdomen.

'KO' the game announces loudly.

Wiping a few beads of sweat from her brow, Bulla steps off the fighting stage to enter her name in for the new high score before smiling over at the girl who cheered her on.]

Thanks for the encouragement.

[zerograv]

You don't need to thank me! That was amazing. Where'd you learn those moves?

[It's definitely not just idle flattery, Ochaco can tell it's actual skill that Bulla is showing off, despite it being a game. Since there's a small vending machine nearby she turns to slip a redbill inside and turns back to offer Bulla the water that dropped down into the recepticle at the bottom.]

[fashionably_strong]

My dad taught me first, then I went to military school for two years in another world, and my brother Trunks has been training me here.

[She takes the water gratefully, sipping the cold, refreshing liquid.]

I don't think I've seen you around before.

[And the population of pendant wearers was considerably less than the population of the locals.]

Are you new?

[Video, locked to Uraraka, Aizawa, Bakugou, Midoriya]

[plagiarisms]

[Well, he can't say that he's happy to see someone else from class 1A, but if he's been able to force himself to tolerate the others for the sake of practicality, he can extend that to her as well.]

You should head to Fayren. I don't think Midoriya is composed enough to handle even a simple phone call at the moment.

[Guess who walked by the booth Izuku's in at Fairy Haven?]

[zerograv]

[Rivalry's okay but just keep it healthy!! They're all in this new weird situation together so it would make sense to get along, right? Even if she's not as familiar with Monoma there's something grounding about seeing a face she recognizes.]

Oh, Hey Monoma. I thought I saw your name on my phone's list! [she pauses, considering what he's just said about Deku and Fayren. She COULD go in that direction. It'd be nice to see Deku in person, but...] What's going on in Fayren?

[plagiarisms]

Everyone from UA who's currently here is living in Fayren. I'll send a map to your phone.

[A few seconds later, Ochaco will receive a map with one location circled.]

Mavis Vermillion was kind enough to offer the dorms within Fairy Haven.

[sleepingbagsensei]

The Fairy Haven is allowing us to stay there and have dorm rooms available. I teach here, and there's no rent cost. At least be considerate and lend a hand here.

[Hi Ochaco, in his own way. He seemed more worn out than before and the background is a little more dark and damp, he was still at the Everglades. These dolls.... speaking of it, an obnoxious laugh echoed from his device, more obnoxious than creepy.]

[midorkiya]

[THANKS MONBAMA.]

[yoyoofdoom]

Attleton pizza! A little greasy but the best!

[nodnod.]

I'm Bridget. Welcome to Genessia.

[zerograv]

Wow, the pizza must be really good! You're like, the third person who's told me about it.

[She laughs a bit, scratching the back of her head.]

It's nice to meet you, Bridgett. I'm Ochaco Uraraka.

[crimsongirl]

Fairy Haven might help. Lady there gave me some damn good pork!

[zerograv]

Do you mean Mavis? I've heard her name a couple of times now. It sounds like she must be pretty generous, from what everyone's been saying!

video;

[ivegotadream]

Do you want me to bring some food to you, instead?

[Because she would as well. All the way from work. But for the moment she was in the kitchen of her place and had been currently making something.]

[zerograv]

Oh, no! That's way too much trouble. I can find places, I just wanted some way to narrow down all the choices I'm seeing.

[there's a pause] Honestly, it's sounding more and more like I should go find a pizza place in Attleton.

[Video]

[hot_handed]

Fuck, you're here too Round Face?

Video!

[zerograv]

[ROUND FACE?!]

...Yeah it's definitely you. It's good to see your face! You look like you're doing okay. I guess I kind of just wanted to check in, you know?
