 | ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ The shooting range had facinated her in a way after trying out the shooting with Masaki, who was definitely better at it and more assured he would understand than her in a fit of rage. Now that was not exactly what happened and she had had her fun in one way or another but that did not mean she was entirely satisfied. She also had decided to watch instead of jump into it at any given second and mess up. She should really learn how to be more patient than she originally was. She had never needed to learn it and got whatever she wanted at the second she spoke about her wish.
But you could not wish to get a better aim or a better power at shooting or anything else that she had done the last couple of days. Heck she had even joined in a boxing combat thing with Kirk and the lieutenant but she wasn't not really meant to do that. However she had realized that being the damsel in distress, multiple times already, had made it not really a good thing for her to try and be a hero. Time to change that too.
She decided or well she made up her mind after a good conversation that she would look around before actually deciding what to do. Rowan ended up back at the shooting range, paintball still didn't seem to be something that she wanted, although she was almost sure that they would offer her the outfit, but her clothes had endured enough, because she decided she would only look around, she was wearing a shirt dress, which was a long blue looking shirt that reached below her knee and she wore a brown belt around her middle. She heard some noises and decided to head down to that, trying to see if she would find the private from the day before, it must be the end of the afternoon, another time than yesterday and perhaps he was off or had a lunch break. But there was someone else. |

Yumi had been spending today admiring all the more technical and experimenty equipment. The railgun didn't seem to be on display today for some reason...something she hoped she had nothing to do with from the events of an earlier day, but she was excited to see what else was on display all the same, checking out specifically the more electrical items, like a long range tazer gun and a mini-railgun, nowhere near as powerful, but an experimental handheld demo. It was weaker than a normal gun honestly, but more a proof of concept, and it made Yumi grin to see such a thing being realistically possible.
What she did wanna see if she could do though was something she failed to do a few days ago with the railgun, walking up to one of the electrically charged guns and asking if she could hold it with the battery pack removed. The soldiers running the display shared a look, wondering why she wouldn't want to fire it like the other people at the base visiting were, but ultimately they found there was nothing wrong with the idea and did as she liked, removing the battery system and holding it out to her. In a weird twist, Yumi rested the gun to the side, and started undoing her belt, the soldiers sharing another look as she fully began to strip, revealing the tight spats she wore under her military pattern pants (the military cosplay of cargo camo pants and camo bikini top had earned it's own look, but this was on another level.)
"Er...ma'am? Do you-" Suddenly she tossed her pants at one of them and smirked, pointing her thumb away from the shooting range display. "You boys may wanna back off."
They weren't too sure what was going on but did as she asked, moving away. Yumi lifted the gun, and as she lined up the target, she held a long breath...and almost as if she swallowed it as the trigger, her body burst with electrical energy, strips of plasma ripping across the ground and walls around her. Yumi's whole body was a bright blue and her hair whipped out like live wires. Her bikini top and spats were designed not to burn away from the heat of her electrical current. The hum of the gun charging even without it's pack was satisfying, and before long she was firing out a blast of electrical energy from the gun, shattering the target at the end of the range, Yumi letting out a satisfied sigh as her arms dropped, energy leaving her body as she couldn't hold her charge any longer, the crowd that had formed fromt he light show kind of in awe at whatever the fuck they'd seen.
"And thats how a quirker handles things.~" She smirked back at one of the boys, holding out the gun for them to take off her hands, taking back her pants from the other and briefly using the fabric of the leg to dab sweat off her brow.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ As she heard talking a bit further away, not too far to walk to, Rowan decided to take a look and opened a door and quickly scanned the people further away from the door. She noticed private Yoshida from the other day and that she was back at the shooting range, although perhaps it wasn't the exact same as where she had the training herself. She wondered where the boys were all staring at and walked a little closer but cautious, she did not want to be in someone's way. She noticed something of a piece of cloth be caught by one of the privates and her eyes finally turned to the other girl in the room and she raised her eyebrow.
Should she leave? What the heck was going on? She wanted to turn around when she noticed the raw power that came from the girl, she did not know how else to describe it in her head. Rowan stared at her in awe, she wanted to be able to be so confident of her own quirk, she was glad that she was far away for safety and had not simply burst in to see but she could see well enough, the target was invisible for her as someone stood in front of that view but she did a step aside, or multiple to see as soon as the girl was done and she turned a bit pale, better not make her angry or her enemy. But she wondered in that track of thoughts if this girl was a U.A. student too, she did not look much older if at all for Rowan who had a poor judgment on that. It was mostly by being impressed. Finally, the private guys were again getting in motion and she walked a few steps forward, waving at Yoshida as he finally looked at her. She definitely forgave him for that and wondered if she could just talk to the girl as well, there were a few more people that had entered before or after her, that seemed to have formed an audience for the show.
It was at least clear that the girl was a quirk user as she had said that and that could probably mean the positive thing, would a villain show it off so obvious? She had to say something. "I wish I was so confident." Well, not that... but it was too late already. |

Lowering the pants leg she was using to dab sweat off her brow, the red head caught the voice of someone she felt she recognized, but wasn't quite sure, dropping her pants and hopping awkwardly on one leg (much to the enjoyment of anyone still focused on her bikini top) as she tried to wiggle the pants up onto her hips, wiggling a little to finally get them on and fixing up the belt as she caught the eye of the girl she'd heard speak up, smirking a little and shaking her head.
"Eh less confidence and more...lack of shame.~" She winked at her and stepped over, resting her thumbs in her belt as her eyes washed up and down the other girl, ignorant to someone behind her who was now testing the gun she'd just used, albeit with the battery pack back in it now. "Sorry do I know you?" She rested a finger on her chin, narrowing her eyes and not at all sure, tapping her chin as she tried to focus her memory, always having a terrible time trying to remember names for faces, but always having a vague knowledge of people she'd passed in UA's halls. Only so many people were learning in the hero department afterall. "You've just got a familiar face...not been on any bilboards or anythin have ya?~" She asked with a teasing wink.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Why did her mouth sometimes talk before her brain could make a decision if that was actually smart to say out loud. However, it was already too late to take it back as she had said it loud enough and noticed how the girl looked her way and she felt a blush creep up on her cheeks. Wonderful, how could she always show off for being dumb, she actually valued her intelligence level. Lack of shame might be good in this case too after all Rowan still wanted to be good, too good and changing herself to a perfect ten considering she was not really all that nice and she was ashamed of that. If she was not, perhaps it was even easier to interact with people instead of creating a perfect version of herself that she wanted to be, which was a lot of effort but she found that no problem at this point at all. Perhaps that changed in the future.
Still, the way the red-head winked and stood there, in that bikini top made Rowan still vote for a way of confidence instead of lack of shame, more like a combination in that case? She wouldn't walk around like that, not only because in summer her skin would turn red in a matter of seconds, but she would only wear an outfit like that with confidence if it was near a pool or the beach or something like that. She still had to agree to her own silent voice that it looked good on this person anyway. Rowan was surprised by the question if she would know her, well Rowan would certainly remember her if that was the case but she must have missed her if it was in the halls of U.A. "Ehm, I don't think so, but well I go to U.A. so perhaps you have seen me there." Had the blush on her cheeks disappeared before the girl stood in front of her, she felt flattered and thus blushed again when she mentioned if she had been on a billboard or so, "If only," It wasn't exactly a dream to become a model, she would rather have it for her talent as a violist. She gave a smile though and decided that it would be nice to continue the conversation and get some information out of the thing she just performed, it most likely had to do with her quirk, "I am Rowan, Rowan Sakamoto." |

“Oh me too!~” She piped up with a smile at the confirmation they both went to UA, stepping up a bit more eagerly and taking the other girl’s hand in both of her own, shaking them vigorously as she beamed at her so happily. For her it was always good to meet a new classmate outside the casual passings in the halls, and this girl for some reason or other seemed particularly interesting. She smirked at her reaction to the billboard comment and waved it off with a faintly playful motion. “Oh I was only teasin, you just got like…one of those model faces ya know?”
She generally gestured over her own face as she tried to describe what was going through her head, but not quite able to place the words. “Something like erm…you’ve got some soft features but your eyes seem really mature? That seems pretty common of American models, though I guess the Japanese tend to prefer a bit more youth to their models eyes from what I’ve seen.” She hadn’t noticed it before, but with an American mother Yumi could address japan like she was foreign to it with surprising ease, not noticing it truly even now, but with her curves and mixed-race traits it might be easy to guess from her wording she was more American than Japanese, despite having been born here and lived her life her.
Regardless, she moved on, taking both hands back now and proudly resting one over her chest as she rested the other hand on her hip, declaring her own name. “Yumi Tasukai, class 1 C president. How about you? Pretty sure I’d at least remember you if you were in my class. I have been trying to get better at that ever since I realized how few names I knew at the slumber party.”

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Well, Rowan had made a good guess that it was probably U.A. where this redhead might know her from. The thing was, she was often found in a shopping center, well the shopping center close to school but still, you mostly don't pay attention to other people if you were shopping, right? Or at least she wasn't. She was not sure what to think about someone that was holding her hand, why was that necessary? She was sure that you only took hands and shook them in a meaning of introduction and while they were doing that, it was a bit strange to have her hand be held by two. How did that work? Rowan simply tried to smile on, she hoped this girl was a clean one, no need to give bacteria or strange electric shocks if that was even her quirk, but Rowan tried to calm down. It was probably something.. she did not know because it did not seem that this girl was a 100% Japanese girl either. Rowan also couldn't help but blush when Yumi said she was only teasing, because if it was teasing, she got the compliment for having a model face, that would be lovely if she could become a model but what were the odds. "Well that is very kind of you, but I can only wish such a job." And besides, she had to focus on the hero classes right.
She was surprised about the American comment though, "Funny, I am half British and half Japanese." She said but still how could you really see a difference, after all everything was western in the end if you compared it to Asia. But now Rowan could consider that probably Yumi was also half like she guessed before and thus guessed her to be an American part compared to Rowan her British half. She wondered if Yumi actually lived in America for a long time, Rowan had lived here all her life. So she had not really felt a separation, her mother spoke English to her mostly but when her father was home, they both spoke Japanese.
Rowan decided to introduce herself and Yumi did follow rather fast, giving even more information."Oh, I am in 1-A, transferred a few weeks ago." Which might also know why a president of another class did not know her and well the good thing was that she knew Rin, she was a bit jealous of Rin and perhaps the same would have happened if she was in Yumi her class. "Slumber Party?" Which was actually a question she did not want to ask, "I mean, what about your quirk, I mean I am very curious, what did you just do?" With the emphasis on did, she wanted to understand mostly. |

Yumi hadn’t realized any effect her model compliment might have had, as always just blatantly speaking her mind without thought for positive or negative consequences, at least until she did think about what she was doing, at which point she went from peaceful ignorance to absolute paranoia, but in this event she seemed to be coming out of it more positive than negative, so she didn’t make a big fuss or anything, instead just smiling as she was told it was kind of her to say and shrugging it off rather casually. “Oh think nothing of it, its nice to tell a pretty person they’re pretty.~”
At the comment about being half British, her eyes lit up and she spoke with a small sense of pride. “Oh! My mom’s actually American! Britain always sounds lovely though. Where you born there, or did one of your parents move over here?” She tapped her chin softly in a thoughtful motion, the girl before her, in her opinion, gave off more Japanese traits than British, but she could barely place accents let alone mannerisms, so that opinion and initial view was probably based on a lot of random guess work on the back of her very weak biases.
“Ooooh 1 A, I know erm…” She thought for a moment, counting in her head. She felt it was just Jaz and Maxi but it felt like there were more people she just couldn’t remember the class letter of. “About…2 of your classmates? Jaz, she’s really cool, and Maxi…he’s…” She did like Maxi but his self defeating nature didn’t really put him on par with Jaz in her head. “He’s pretty chill I guess…heh.” She cleared her throat and put on a smile. “Oh class 1 C had a slumber party! I arranged it with Melody so I thought I woulda recognized you from that if you were in my class. As fooooor my quirk.” She lifted a hand, letting small sparks drift between her fingers. “I can generate electricity.~”

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Where Yumi just apparently said what crossed her mind, it was something that Rowan felt like she would never be able to do. Even if it was something positive she would not trust herself to be able to say something like that. The thing was that right now, she was forming herself in such a way that she was getting a bit lost in what she wanted to become or who she wanted to be or who she actually was. She wasn't sure if people actually noticed but at this point, it might not even matter. She needed to read more, get more interest in working out the way of society but instead, she was just making the mistake that it would not work out. Perhaps this is exactly what Maxi meant and that she should calm down instead of working too hard and figure things out in the wrong perspective and that it thus doesn't work. Rowan perhaps should work out how to make compliments for a better thing, that was perhaps she could learn from Yumi her bluntness. She gave a warm smile to Yumi and where she had been impressed by her before, it still did not stop. "You are too kind." She said with a little laugh, the laugh was made, but she was getting better at that.
As she had made the assumption that Yumi wasn't a full Japanese heritage, she mentioned she was half British and half Japanese herself and that seemed to have made Yumi enthusiastic."I was born here, my mother moved here to my father." They could have even lived in London or something as her father was barely home, what bad would it be to fly a few more hours but that was her being sceptic, she would not have been able to join U.A. in that case.
As they continued to talk Rowan told her name and that she was in class 1-A where Yumi tried to come up with the name of her classmates. She gave a small smile, " I haven't really talked to Jaz before but she seems cool indeed." Cool was perhaps not the right description to say considering her quirk but well, hot had another meaning in that case and one Rowan wouldn't say. She couldn't help but let out a giggle, even if it wasn't a joke, but calling Maxi chill worked out very well with his quirk and the past experiences with their meetings she had. "Yes, he is." She now learned what happened with 1-C and the slumber party but she had no idea at this point who actually was in 1-C, she forgot all the time and she did not know the name Melody as she had not met that person yet. She was quite interested in the way Yumi her quirk worked or what it was, for starters. If she could use something like that as in her way of handling it, it would only be better for the spark user. She felt that even though the spark she generated was different from the real electricity that Yumi used, it could perhaps have some connections, "That's nice and it looked very impressive." She could say, which was kind of obvious considering everyone their reaction. |

“OH same with me again!” She chuckled a little at the similarities between them as she mentioned her mother moving here to be with their father, which was close enough to the case with her own family. Mom had just been moving to japan to escape some heat her vigilanteism had created for her, and finally becoming a hero again when the pro licensing had been brought out into the Japanese government structure. Of course Yumi did sometimes worry her mom would be in danger, but her obliviousness to reality meant she could leave those thoughts on the backburner a lot. “Mom was American, moved here and ended up meeting my dad. What a coincidence.”
She smirked a little at the girl’s comments about Jaz and her reaction to the words about Maxi, only just realizing the accidental pun she’d made and snickering along herself with a playful roll of her eyes directed at her own accidental pun, rubbing the back of her neck. “They’re both really cool, I just like them for different reasons I guess. Jaz can be so intense and energetic while Maxi can be…intense too…but kind of like a downer. Not really in a bad way its just who he is when I’ve been around him…” She shrugged with a soft sigh, not wanting to badmouth Maxi to one of his classmates. “Sorry, forget I said anything.”
With words moving to her quirk she had a smile but it was soft and maybe just a little…not forced, but ‘put on’ would be an apt description. Something that wasn’t strained and was genuine but didn’t hold her usual energy. “Oh everyone says that but its really not the best quirk. I can only charge this thing once without risking burning it out, my quirk isn’t exactly designed to charge much…just designed to go zap zap zappity zap and make everything around me fry, which wasn’t too good growing up with and not knowing how to control it.” She rested her hands in her pockets and looked up to the other girl with a weak smile, gesturing to her with a dip of her head. “What about you huh? Everyone jokes class A is top class, you got any super special quirk that makes that so?~”

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ It was funny how there was someone that sort of understood. Perhaps Yumi was better at her English or into society, she seemed much better with words than Rowan would be without having to consider every damn second what she would say, which was rather something she wanted to do herself. However, at least Yumi her enthusiasm was brought over to Rowan and she felt a bit more relaxed about the idea. "How romantic actually, she met your dad thanks to coming here." Her parents met in London but her father couldn't stay here and her mother did not mind much. When Rowan was still little, her grandma came over a lot, stayed over a lot because her dad had to work, shame how she was so focused on her father back then. Right now she regretted that, for her mother's sake. She wasn't sure if she found it romantic but she couldn't complain too much about it either. No understanding of real romance as she did not see much romance in the relationship from her father and mother, she did not really know how that would work out for her.
Rowan was actually surprised about the comment Yumi made about Maxi, she couldn't help but let out a short giggle, a natural one for once."Funny you say that last I spoke Maxi, I was the downer and he was convincing me that it would all be fine." So that was a good thing, he was pretty much down when they met with the accident that she bumped into but he used his quirk a lot at that point, so that made sense. As for Jasmine, yeah Rowan looked up to her for as far as she knew a lot about Jasmine, but she had not dared to say anything to her yet.
When they spoke about Yumi her quirk, Rowan noticed the difference in attitude but she couldn't put her finger on it with what would be the best description for it but when Yumi spoke it sounded so familiar that she had no words for it in general, she stared for a second, only being 'zapped' out of it because of the question to her. "I didn't know Class A was considered the top class." She said, this probably had to do with her transferring, but considering some of her classmates she could see where they were coming from. "But coming back to the question, I very much understand what you mean. I can explode things, like small items, once I touched them." That was difficult when she did not understand it when she was younger, right now she did much, much better but still it had its difficulties. |

Yumi giggled a little at the comment about her parents being romantic, rolling her eyes a little as she maybe didn’t see it so much, but then again it was her parents. As much as she admired them it was sometimes weird to think of their lovey dovey side of their relationship. Not that they didn’t have one, they were very affectionate with eachother, and it probably lead to a lot of Yumi’s views on love and intimacy growing up, but at the same time viewing them as this couple who were once strangers to eachother was a weird concept, so all she could really come up with was a semi-genuine “Aw, thanks.~”
When Rowan talked about Maxi she was definitely more than a little surprised. Maxi being the encouraging one? It certainly didn’t sound like the norm but she’d rather believe it than question it, actually getting a little giddy at the idea as she clasped her hands together. “Oh really!? That’s so good to hear. Its good to see he’s starting to channel his charisma more. Its always such a shame when he doesn’t put it to use, especially when I saw so much of it the first time I met him.” She tipped her head to the side as she remembered the day she met Maxi at the beach and he’d been bold enough to plant himself right next to her just as an excuse to talk, but she focused back on Rowan as she realized something. “Wait actually, sorry, I drifted, are you okay though? I mean, if he had to cheer you up what was making you upset?” Her…words, weren’t the best, but her tone showed she was genuinely worried about Rowan being potentially down about something despite the fact she was practically a stranger.
When she was surprised about class 1 As rep, Yumi shrugged and offered a small smile. “Pretty unnoficial, it’s mainly because your classmates hold the two top ranks ya know? Alex always goes on about how 1C holds more spots, but I’m all the way at 10th place so we’re hardly impressive in that regard. Maybe you aren’t the top class, it’s just a reputation thing.” She shrugged again and listened as Rowan went on to finally explain her quirk, eyes widening as she briefly thought of Jaz but realized they were likely very different in nature. “Well that’s cool! Can you show me!?~”

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Rowan smiled at Yumi, it was at least better than the stories she heard which made her strange to affection. She had not understand a hug even if Maxi had given her one. Which was a very weird concept, because it was something most of the world understood right? She still felt awkward when she thought about it and how could people so casually flirt, or just like each other, like how Akio and Miku did. How did you do that? At least it was not something she would have to worry about right now, it wasn't like anything spectacular would happen, she was here to study and nothing more and that was best without much of distractions and love surely was one.
As that reminded her of Maxi and they had talked about her class, it made her consider how much she needed to understand people, well the thing was that Maxi had told her a thing here and there that made her consider that she did belong here. She was not planning on giving up yet nor because her goal was not mainly to become a hero but to understand and be useful with her quirk. It might be something that she would do later, not if she wanted to be a hero, she still did not believe she would fit that albeit less bad than before her talk with Maxi. "He was very kind." Perhaps not excited about their Britain conversation but that went alright anyway in the end so nothing was to be the problem. "Oh well, yes I am fine, I am just very unsure of being here. Perhaps it has to do with randomly joining within the school year but I don't see myself much as hero material, more like the damsel in distress." She decided to say it less about her anxiety but just the main point of her issue.
There was a lot to learn about 1-A and the people to interact with, she still wanted to talk to a lot of people but had not found a good conversation, apart from the usual thing: a quirk, she did not want to make a stupid mistake but it helped a bit as she heard more and more about it. she wondered who the tops were, she could make a lot of assumptions but that would not provide answers really and she wasn't sure if she wanted to know like this. "Oh of course." She looked around to see what she could use best, this had her idea for her future hero outfit as well, sticks and stones would be rather easy if she could make use of that and canisters to hold it. Right now she found an empty bullet capsule, it was a guess but there was a hole in the back and she picked it up and threw it to the safe part where the line was. People were having conversations around them or left after Yumi her demonstration thus no one would get harmed. It exploded in a couple of seconds and she turned to Yumi with a smile on her face. "Like that. It doesn't matter much what the object is."
She talked a little bit more with Yumi before she had to go, she wanted to see more of the semper fi area, but she was glad she bumped into Yumi. "It was really nice meeting you, Yumi." She did not dare to say that they should do that more often, conversations like this because she wasn't sure if Yumi thought the same or if that was normal. |
