Add a little Zing (Emi)

Yumi smirked a little as she managed to catch the end of her little self recordings, and deciding to throw a playful 2 yen in she offered a playful smirk as she threw in- "Personally I just made several editions of my costume. Hot weather, moderate, and winter." She gestured over the current version of the outfit she was wearing, it was exposing no unescary skin and had a high neck. While it hugged her figure well it seemed to be made of a thicker material than the version she wore when working in the school training rooms, given, ya know, it wasn't as chilly inside. "Winter edition right here. Honestly I think it'd probably help your fans find a uniqueness to you throughout the year without throwing out a full redesign here and there, but hey, whatever works for ya.~"

With the confirmation that she was good to hangout, Yumi seemed to give a happy little hop in her step as she walked over to Emi's side, rounding her back to slip into the opposite side she approached from. "Yeah you're right? Why not?~" She teased a little playfully as she caught her walking pace, She felt her stride might have been a little longer than Emi's so she pulled it back a little to stick to her speed, flipping about on her heels when the street looked empty enough to risk walking backwards, shooting Emi a warm smile in the process. "I know a nice smooth place just a street away if that takes your fancy. They do some good sandwhiches and little cakes too, or if you want something a little healthier one of my co-workers suggested a salad bar not far from it the other week.~" She knew from experience a lot of quirkers at UA didn't need to be too fussy about their intake, but she wanted to at least off Emi the options for something healthier if that was more her speed.

When Emi suggested a noodle bar though, Yumi perked up and nodded heartily. "Ooo ya know what I could definitely go for that. I didn't pack a lunch today so something like that could really hit the spot in it's place." She gave a playful lick of her own lips and a light little giggle, turning back around so they were both walking the same way, gesturing with a flourish for Emi to lead the way, though when it became clear she'd already set her mind on it, Yumi just chuckled and jogged briefly to catch up. "You been to the place before?" She wasn't too sure on the sound of things there, especially after giving the impression she wouldn't be interested in it normally.

“Hmmm… I’d say you can have multiple costumes and be Iconic, so long as the core themes are maintained? I mean for me, my suits all basically follow the same visual design-“ She gestured to the neon light blue tracks that cut through the darker blue base colors of the costume. Right now they were more ‘dim’ than neon in appearance but that was because her quirk wasn’t currently active, otherwise they’d be bright as her own electricity. “They just cover more or less skin based on the weather, or are slightly more insulated if it’s real cold? I think of it like…Batman! Yeah, he has so many versions of his costume designed for so many situatuations, but key design aspects always let you know it’s batman right? You can have so many versions of your costume, but if it stays on theme, it’s still iconic!~” That was her take on the matter at least, there may be an argument that only Batman’s core design was ‘iconic’, and because it was iconic, you could easily recognize it in the rest but… why get into the nitty gritty? That let her feel smart for a moment.~

At the comment about experimenting, Yumi gave a soft shrug. “I dunno, maybe we just hang in different crowds but I see a lot of my classmates doing that. Kirk turned his back-sack into a weapon, a mobility aid, I’ve seen tetsuko get creative with her weapons, Feng used the heat off her leg to create some weird mirage-y effect…” She shrugged and smiled, pretty proud of how creative her classmates can get. Though she may have missed that Emi was more referring to them experimenting with more social factors, like their costume designs.

Yumi passed a gentle wave to one of the passerbys as they walked by, it wasn’t really something she wasn’t used to. A lot of her casual clothes were actually cosplays in disguise afterall and being a pleasant soul she was more than happy to treat the stares and glances with a more open response. It was an unusual sight afterall, and she knew she’d steal a few glances if she didn’t know that it was a hero in training. Heck even then she’d probably stare if she was honest.

“Hm?” Drawn from the gentle attention she was giving to passerbys by Emi’s comments, Yumi chuckled softly. “Ya know I never actually thought about it? I mean I never saw you just summoning salt from nothing, what with those crystals on your costume. Do you actually NEED salt as part of your diet too or is it like, you just get more lethargic with your quirk?” She asked with some genuine curiosity, always fascinated by how quirks work. “I used to need a bigger diet but over the years I’ve managed to ween off that as I trained the muscles of my quirk more. I still eat more than a quirkless girl my size sure, but it’s no longer the monsterous meals it used to be, ehehehe.~”

A mix of british and Japanese sensibilities built into her from her parents, Yumi still always felt an urge to bow back when waitress’ greeted her at a resteraunt, dipping her head for a moment before admiring the place itself, especially the quiet nature of it. Her eyes flared for a second as she realize that she must come here a lot of she was recognized, Yumi smiling a bit more that Emi was willing to share her own little ‘spot’ for lunch with her. “Miss Halo huh?~ You go by your hero name here then?~” She rested a hand to her chest and smiled. “Curved lightning, lovely to meet you.~”

Given the chance to choose their seating, Yumi still picked a spot near the back of the room despite the quiet, always feeling a little more cozy when tucked up against the wall or a corner if there was some boothed seating at this place, rather than those that had you sit right up at the bar.

She lifted her head from just admiring the place as Emi asked her reasons for asking her to eat lunch and… she gave a calm shrug. “I dunno, I think… well, I’d like to think we have a lot in common? I mean we’re arguably the two UA students most invested in social media, our careers outside of just hero work and… I wanted to get to know you a bit more because of that? Just… seemed like the smart and, nice thing to do, ya know? I mean, hehe-“ She smiled a little brighter “I mean… I kinda hope the same thing might have occurred to you? I mean fair enough if not just… I don’t have anyone to talk about that stuff with on a peer to peer level, thought it might be nice to develop that with you… n-not to put too many expectations on this or anything, this is just, lunch, really.”
