okuyasu - ⭐

[thriftea]

[Can Okuyasu sit still for more than ten minutes at a time? Ochako isn't sure, but he's still the first person she thinks of when she sees the new stars in the sky. It would be nice, she thinks, to share one of her favorite hobbies with one of her favorite people in this town... and hey, he might even like stargazing. Stranger things have happened.

She waits a few days, letting the general excitement settle down a bit before she messages him. It's, like, seven o'clock, but she has a feeling he's just loitering in his room.]

you're not doing anything, right?
you should come look at the stars with me! (ﾉ･◡-)☆

[pursestrings]

[He's definitely loitering in his room; with John moving out and Iida, uh, as a statue, he's all alone at home with nothing to do but lounge around and occasionally look at some flower seeds. Gardening is not a very active hobby after a point (not that it's his hobby now!!), plus it's getting late, so... yeah, nothing to do but trawl the network and make more MS Paint doodles of fries or whatever.

So thank god Ochako's message pops up to save him from his boredom... but ah, this message-- isn't looking at the stars kind of--?

Well, sure he'll come check out the stars, but still.]

ok
u want me to meet u at ur place?

[thriftea]

[He offered to cook her a lobster dinner once upon a time!! Stargazing is just a fun activity that everyone can enjoy. Also, please bless the world with a new masterpiece soon.]

yeah! or we can meet in flavo? by the garden?
there's a LOT more grass there.

[pursestrings]

[Shh, there's nothing suspect about lobster dinner. He'll make up an excuse to show her a drawing of a lobster eating fries, fret not.]

sounds good
see u in a min

[He'll head right over, since he's doing fuckall at home. And here's the twist, maybe because it's evening, maybe because sitting in an empty house again gets him down a little more than he'll admit, but: he's not immediately shouting across the whole district when he comes up on the garden. He will wave, and perhaps too enthusiastically, but he isn't shouting. Progress.]

momo - 🦆

[thriftea]

[Rounding up a dozen geese doesn't sound too difficult. Ochako isn't sure that she could handle them all on her own, but with Momo by her side, she's positive that the geese will be back in town before they even know what hit them. It's nice to have such a reliable, capable friend!

And it's also nice to spend some quality time with said friend, which is why Ochako is all smiles as they walk side-by-side down the street.]

This won't be bad at all, but I hope that we get a really good reward! More food would be nice, right?

[Gods above, hear her prayers... and please bless her with mochi.]

[creatability]

[It is definitely not a difficult sounding mission at all. Momo's got a catch pole hefted over one shoulder, and the polearm she'd made for herself strapped across her back in case they need it.]

Absolutely. It'll be wonderful. And if all else fails, if the reward doesn't take away the geese, we can eat them too.

[Boiled goose sounds good, okay?]

[thriftea]

[Anything sounds better than grilled fish at this point, even if the thought of killing a goose is... yeah, her smile shrinks the tiniest bit. Momo is far more pragmatic than Ochako.]

I-I guess that's true! [Poor geese. She hasn't seen them yet, but still, poor geese.] That's what everyone else will probably do, and it makes sense...

[Momo, say something cheerful!!]

shouto - 🌼

[thriftea]

[It's nice to know that statues eventually turn back into people, but standing face-to-face with an Iida statue is still... worrying. So worrying, in fact, that even his goofy pose isn't enough to make her laugh; she just blinks up at him, mouth pulling into a thin line as she lets all of this sink in. Her poor buddy...

But a motionless Iida is a sad thing to see, and so she quickly shifts her attention over to her non-marble friend.]

D-Do you think he can hear us?

[glaciers]

[It's really... very uncomfortable to see one of his best friends as a statue. Still and silent, a far cry from the usual energetic Iida he's used to.]

... I don't know. I've never been a statue before.

Should we do something for him?

[thriftea]

[She's not quite sure what they can do for a statue, but she also hates the idea of Iida just... sitting out here.]

We should try. He looks so lonely, don't you think? [She looks back at the statue, as if to confirm that yes, he does look lonely.] I hate seeing him without any color.

riku - ✨

[thriftea]

[It's been far too long since she's seen Riku around town, and Ochako can't help but to be a little worried. He seems like such a peppy person, it's true, but the shadows took their toll on so many people...

Well! The best way to check on him is to hang out with him! Don't mind her, Riku—she's just going to poke through the forums for a while, looking through every post until she finds his hex code. This isn't creepy, this is... friendship.]

riku-kun!
this is ochako! ( ･ω･)ﾉ
i hope you're doing okay. i haven't seen you in a while! but
have you seen the stars?
they're so pretty! we should look at them together!

[doublesharp]

[Not creepy at all! Of course, Riku lights up upon receiving her message, and Ochako can probably guess how much he's grinning based upon his overuse of exclamation points.]

Ochako-chan!!!
How are you? It's been forever! I've only managed to run into you in passing! ;;
But the stars are amazing, aren't they?! We should definitely go stargazing together!!! It'll be tons of fun!!!!

[thriftea]

[Oh, boy! She tends to tone down her own exclamation point usage in the wild, but Riku is a kindred spirit. She can finally let herself be free...]

yeah!!! we'll have a blast!!
and we can catch up over snacks and stuff!!!
so! do you want to go tonight?

OH! and i'm fine, thank you!!!
sorry, i just got so excited

emma - 🏹

[thriftea]

[This child has way too many weapons, but at least she uses them responsibly? That's... something? And there's also no denying the fact that Emma is incredibly mature for her age, so... it could be worse, Ochako decides. It could definitely be worse.

And so, with these comforting thoughts in mind, Ochako reminds herself to smile as she knocks on the front door of Emma's cottage. It's time for an archery lesson.]

Emma! It's Ochako! I think I'm a little early, but... I brought snacks!

[Because why not. Four red apples are tucked into the crook of one arm, but please, Emma, don't go all William Tell on them. They're too tasty.]

[keeneye]

[Rather than opening the front door, Emma peeks her head around the side of the cottage with a wave.]

Heeey! We're around back!

[And she disappears back into the mysterious back-yard. When Ochako comes around she will see that Emma was hard at work setting up for practice. There are standard targets, painted in purple because of necessity, nailed to trees but there are more advanced ones as well. Smaller targets high up in the branches, ones hanging from rope, and the scarecrow she made with Joshua is even holding one. Looks like she had fun setting up.

So, the apples are safe. For today.]

[thriftea]

[Ochako hurries around the cottage, willing and ready to help with any last-minute lesson prep... but as soon as she steps into the backyard, it's clear that Emma has everything under control. Just look at all of these targets! Her eyes widen in surprise, because dang, girl... some serious effort was put forth here.]

You made all of these? [She spins in place, trying to take all of it in, before she shoots the other girl an excited smile.] Emma, this is amazing! You really went all out!

nanjo - 🥇

[thriftea]

[Nanjo may say that's he's okay, but Ochako isn't entirely convinced. Mitsuru's disappearance was surely hard for him to bear, especially since he seems like the type of person to just... bottle everything up. Ochako understands, okay? She has a fair bit of experience in that department.

That's why she comes back to visit him the day after their wish-granting mission, holding a small container of food behind her back with one hand as she knocks on his door with the other. A home-cooked meal: the most effective way of gaining entry into someone's home. She's just going to innocently beam right up at him as soon as he comes into view.]

I have a surprise for you!

I'm sorry I couldn't help myself

[totheno1]

[Surprises are always a worry for him. Just like living alone and totally not going to have someone be his roommate soon that will make his life a lot less calmer.

He stops doing his notes before walking over to the door and looking down at her. Well innocently beaming...he needs to stop assuming that she cooked her lobster that people are like this without an intention.]

Miss Ochako. It is nice to meet you. [Come in, come in, it's quiet right now without teenagers.] What do you mean, a surprise?

sighs @ u forever

[thriftea]

Well...

[Listen to the way she trills that? Nanjo, please. Ochako has nothing but the purest of intentions, which is why she bounces right inside and holds the small container out to him. Tupperware: Awash edition.]

I brought you some food! [She gives the container a gentle little shake.] I caught way too many fish this morning, so... I thought that you might like some. I even grilled them for you!

[Because she's nice like that. If and when he opens the makeshift bento box, he'll find three completely normal-looking fish—filleted and grilled—tucked away inside. She'll never say it, of course, but it took her a long, long time to find them. Most of the fish she catches are mutant grey ones; she spent a good two hours or so hunting these babies down, and she hopes he likes them!]

yuuya - 🤕

[thriftea]

[They may be trapped in the middle of nowhere, but that doesn't mean that Ochako can slack on her training! Aside from her regularly scheduled sparring sessions, she spends a good portion of her free time in the outskirts of the forest, trying to increase the length—and the strength— of her quirk. It's not bad, really! Floating above the ground for a little while can be very relaxing... until, of course, you reach your limit, cancel your quirk without checking below you, and crash right into a thicket of brambles. Then it's just, uh. Really unfortunate.

Scratches, however, are nothing to whine about, and so she dusts herself off and promptly heads over to the town's new clinic. Surely someone here can give her some disinfectant before sending her along her merry way? That's the hope, anyway.]

Hello? [She opens the door the slightest bit, popping her head inside to look around. Barging in seems like a rude thing to do.] Is anyone here?

[There are a few shallow cuts on her cheeks, but hey, don't worry about them! She's fine!]

[salutations]

[The infirmary is a basic, re-purposed building so it doesn't quite have the feel of an actual clinic, yet. Still, there are enough bandages and such visible to be sure it's the right place. A clear voice rings out from a back room.]

Salutations! I'll be right with you, mon amie!

[There is a bit of shuffling before a little poof of dust from the back room and out comes...]

[Beautiful white feathers, a bright orange necktie, a shining, healthy beak! ... It's a pigeon! It's not quite human-sized but it is certainly bigger than a normal pigeon by several times. He's about three-feet tall and holding a broom in his wing as easily as if he had hands.]

My apologies, I was tidying up the back room. Would you believe this place is easier to tidy than the last infirmary I helped in? ☆

[thriftea]

[Ochako has heard of her fellow student council member, of course, but seeing him in person for the first time is—oh. Oh. For the first few seconds the only thing she can do is blink back at him, because... how c-cute...

Staring, however, is rude, and she flashes him a slightly sheepish smile before finally stepping into the building.]

N-Not really. It took us forever to fix up our house. [Momo is a stickler.] I hope that everything is going well, though! And I'm sorry for interrupting! I just... came to see if the clinic has a few things I can use? Training went a little sideways today, so...

minato - 🎣

[thriftea]

[Fishing with a net is convenient, it's true, but it's not fun to do with a friend. For the true friendly fishing experience, Ochako knows that she has to go back to the basics; that's why she rounds up two of the best fishing poles that she can find, digs around in Deku's front yard (gross), and fills a bucket with as many weird grey worms as she possibly can (extra gross) before heading to meet Minato at the harbor. There is a incredibly high chance that Minato will be in charge of putting the worms on the hooks, but. That's just the price he'll have to pay for this fishing lesson.

As soon as she spots him loitering by the water, Ochako hoists the fishing poles up in the air and waves them back and forth. Hello, friend!!]

Minato-kun! Are you ready to catch a ton of fish?

[Come on, Minato. Try to match her enthusiasm!]

[messianic]

[As if Minato could...ever match that enthusiasm.... oops.

He tries, sort of, in his own Minato way. Which namely means that he lifts a hand from his pocket to wave.

Nice work, Minato.]

Ochako-san, hello. I'll do my best.

[...There is so little enthusiasm there, sorry.]

[thriftea]

[Well, he... tried? He tried! And Ochako likes him just the way he is, which is why she still looks very excited as she skids to a stop in front of him. This is a chance to get to know him even better, and she can't help but to be pumped about that.]

You're going to do great! I know it. [She offers him both a fishing pole and a sunny smile. So many good vibes are comin' his way.] Have you ever been fishing before?
