[Kirishima, for all his short time in Yuuei, has learned quite a lot of things. Many were silly and fun, about the joys of heroism and fights. Others were serious, the consequences of their powers and how they should use them. Some outright dangerous, like villain attacks and how it felt to be completely helpless. In Yuuei, he learned, there's never a dull day, and you should expect the unexpected.

That said, sometimes, he's still caught by surprise, especially at the oddest times.]

Mr. Power Loader, are you here?

[Kirishima had wanted some way to help augment his tough skin, so he can sustain it for longer periods of time. It wasn't a big adjustment, he thought, so he wanted to see if perhaps there was a way that could be done with their teacher's help.

He... might've forgotten that most of the time, chances are he'll catch Hagakure instead.]

[ Hatsume is buried under her work, as always, tinkering with something or another for her latest crazy invention. Head full of ideas, there's barely any time to get them all out of her head as it is. Luckily, she always has time for a fellow student in need of costume upgrades! What's that? You're not here for costume upgrades? Well... too bad.

Eyes brightening up when she greets Kirishima, she doesn't even bother telling him that Power Loader is in a meeting right now and can't help him at the moment. ]

Oh, well if it isn't... ! Err, what's your name again? [ She'll remember next time, but no promises! At least she remembers his quirk. ] Anyways, you're here for help on your costume right. Come in! [ He can't refuse her because she's already latched on his arm. Time to drag him into hell. ]

[Oh. Well, that works. Admittedly, he has yet to see the horrors of working with her, so this is probably his test run. He's surprised as she drags him in though, the proximity from a person he's barely familiar with unusual, but not unwelcomed.]

Whoa, hey!

[She seems friendly enough, at least?]

I'm Kirishima. We uh... Actually haven't really talked. [Everyone knows of her though. She stood out during that match with Iida.] You're the girl with all the tech in the tournament, right?

Kirishima! [ She sounds like she's making an note of that, but she's already quick to move on, moving through her trash mountain like she's looking for something in particular. Don't mind if something scraps fly your way. She's sure you'll be okay. ]

And yup, that's me! Did you get a good look at my babies? [ THEY'RE HER CHILDREN, compliment them. ] What did you have in mind? Either way I think I got something for you.

[He looks around the room, having just missed Iida and the rest as he surveys the surrounding. Huh.]

Wow, you guys sure get busy 'round here. Which ones are yours?

[He's assuming... everything isn't hers. Maybe a small portion, like a healthy portion of those junk in the corner, but not everything. It's not like there's anyone that addicted, right?]

Uh, I actually just wanted to see if 'teach could help me with some upgrades. Kinda need some help keeping my Quirk lasting, y'know?

Hoo hoo hoo, all of them of course. Well, save for a few of them over there.

[ What do you take her for man. ]

Oh, he's not here right now... but [ She pulls out a relatively simple looking suit for Kirishima, chest puffed up and looking proud as ever. ] You can try out this baby. The materials may look a little flimsy at first, but once activated it'll be able to harden just as well as you can!

[ It seems too good to be true, but instead of just handing him the suit she's getting all handsy with Kirishima. Take it off boy. ] But due to the nature of this baby you'll have to strip!

[The face of a madman, this one has.

Also whoa, whoa, whoa there. Kirishima freezes when she starts grabbing at his costume, grabbing her shoulders and trying to pry her off. No one apparent warned him of just how passionate Hatsume can get.]

Whoa! Hey, just where are you--? [He swats her hands from his pants because he might have no issue showing his chest, but he draws the line there. He grabs the suit instead, because this is getting out of hand and it just started.]

Stop! I'll wear it. Really.

Edited 2016-07-29 06:11 (UTC)

[ Good save, Kirishima. ]

Alright! I guess I'll look away for your sake so just tell me when.

[ Probably should tell her not to peek, there's no changing room here and if she wanted to zoom in she could. Would Kirishima feel comfortable with her over examining him? But, satisfied with his response she does a little pivot so her back is facing him. ]

It's really comfortable you see! The fiber is made of the finest material after all. If you wanted it to turn gold, I could make it happen too! [ That's pretty flashy, right? ]

No, it's fine. I just need to test it, right?[He might not care about a lot of things, he's not that self-conscious compared to the rest, but there's something very unnerving about a member of the opposite sex in the same room when you're changing.

Especially one with no restrictions.

Well, she had her back to him and he's a trusting guy, this'll end well.]

Uh, how do I wear this?

[ Hastume instinctively tilts her head back, only realizing her promise to him at the very last second. Head snapping forward, she'll have to give him directions vocally and hope he understands. ]

Invisible zipper. You'll find it in the back. [ They're rather simple instructions, he'll be okay. It's a pretty normal looking body suit with gloves attached, but just wait until it's activated baby. ]

Found it!

[Actually, since he's going through this trouble anyway, he should make conversation and befriend her.]

So uh, anyway-- why do you have something like this lying around?

[ It'll be good for you, Kirishima. ]

What do you mean? I came up with it so I made it happen. It's fairly simple, right? [ The thought is admirable but also dangerous. ]

Remember, in the words of Nikola Tesla... "The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine". Fufufu, and I got a lot of ideas, so I'll be shaping the future with my babies.

It's pretty impressive-- you said you made all of these, right?

[He failed to focus on that earlier, but now that he can... It's interesting. Luckily, the suit isn't too hard to put on.]

---Wait, isn't this too many?! Where'd ya find the time to make them?

Hoo hoo, there's always time for the things you want to do if you truly want to do them!

[ She's only a little obsessive... and she's moving toward her junk mountain to inspect some of the parts. Her back is still turned, but she can only stand still for so long. ]

Yeah, that's true. Guess even the guys in support are really passionate too. [Those are actually really wise words, and Kirishima feels better as he finally gets the suit on-- and his pants too. Look, he's not taking chances.

Huh.]

Weird, it's a perfect fit.

[It's not like she'd have made it for him, after all.] So how does this work exactly?

Are you done?

[ She whips back to face him, eyes shining. ] Why don't you use your quirk and find out? The compounds should harden with you once it detects a difference in your molecular structure.

[ Hopefully nothing goes wrong though! (LOL) The thing she doesn't say. ]

Does it only work with hardening quirks like mine?

[And Tetsutetsu's, he adds, but it's kind of like rubbing salt in the wound to remember sometimes. He likes the guy, but man, what a way to remind him how generic his Quirk is.

Still, he does what he's told, hardening his body to see just what exactly will happen with this.]

Fufufu, not necessarily. It's specialized to give a helping hand to all muscle types!

[ But... if Tetsutetsu had came in first, it's true she would have shoved this suit at him instead. When he hardens his body, the suit should harden with it, leaving Hatsume with a satisfied look on her face. ]

Notice how the suit hardens with you? It should continue like that even when your quirk is weakened from too many hits to your shell! A real life saver, I'd say! [ Which means it'll also stay hardened when Kirishima stops using his quirk. Sounds like an oversight if you ask me. ]

[So far, so good. Actually, he even looks impressed, looking at the consistency of the thing.]

Whoa! That's really cool.

[Okay, but how about if he moves? He tries that and-- nothing. He can't move.]

... Huh? Uh, Hatsume...

[ RIP. ]

What is it, Kirishima? Are you moved by how much stronger you're feeling?

[Why are you like this, Hatsume? He tries again, and there's clear effort in his voice as he struggles against the suit, a loud 'hnggggh!!!' leaving him.]

I can't move.

[He tries again, this time deactivating his quirk. Except. It doesn't work. It's still in place. He struggles even more, trying not to break it, but...]

What is this thing?! Let me out!

Hmmm, it looks like I forgot to consider the properties of the fiber for deactivation! Sorry!

[ And unlike Midoriya's suit, which she can stop manually, she has nothing for you. This is why they need an adult. ]

Try not to move so much, you definitely won't be able to break free! [ Super comforting words. ] It'd be rather good as another capture tool, if you ask me.

I can't move even if I want to!

[He groans, because he's stuck and it sucks and he doesn't want this anymore. Still struggling though, so maybe he's just bad at instructions.]

Isn't that something you should consider first?

[LET HIM OOOUUUUTTT!]

Don't worry! I just need to figure out how to implement it!

[ Not that it's that simple. ]

How long do you think you can wait? A day? Three?

[What.]

No! I still need to go to class. Can't I just break it?

[If he reactivates his quirk, does it get harder? Can he just break it off like he does giant robots?]

[ Maybe with sheer strength and will power? It'd be pretty manly. Hatsume has another idea meanwhile, however. ]

Alright, alright. Don't fuss! I'll do this the easy way then. [ She loiters off to the other room and comes back with a REALLY BIG BUZZSAW. ]

Since you have a hardening quirk, it should be no problem, right? [ Just think... if it has been anyone else someone couldve have lost an arm or a leg. Well, except Tetsutetsu. That would have been okay. ]

You might have to get your costume repaired though! Sorry about that! [ WHERE IS MR. POWER LOADER? ]

Edited 2016-08-02 03:47 (UTC)

[??!!?!?]

What the--?! No, no, no just-- stop! Stop right there.

[He might handle a chainsaw well enough but it doesn't mean he wants to test it out to see if he'll get chopped in half. Or lose his pants. Just no.]

Can't you think of another plan?!

Another plan?

[ She tilts her next to the side, contemplating. ]

I could ask Mr. Power Loader, but he'd surely ban me, you see! Therefore, it's important that we get this figured out before he comes back.

I'm starting to think banning is a bad idea...

[This is dangerous. What if he needs to pee or something? What if he had been anyone else?]

Look. No saws. Just... why not reverse what you did to make this thing?

[ Don't pee... ]

Hoo hoo, not too shabby, Kirishima! I could ideally reverse it but I would need to move you into that room. [ She jabs her thumb toward it. This one. ] I won't be using any of the tools on you, just gotta change up the chemical compound of the suit through the computer and you should be able to move again! Easy, huh?

[ Homegirl's gonna have you carry you though... Surely there is a tool around here for that so don't worry. ]

[You can't fight nature...]

Uh...

[He looks down at himself, then at her, with a look that can probably roughly translate to 'Are you kidding me?' or 'Why are you like this?' The flatness of his gaze, the defeat in his veins.

He will never get out.]

[ And Hatsume doesn't notice! You could say she's an expert at ignoring that kind of look from people... she gets it a lot.

Finding herself a hand dolly, she's just gonna prop Kirishima onto it like he's a real statue and wheel him into the room. Don't mind the tools, she'll make sure to put those away once she's in front of the monitor. She slips out right after, speaking from the doorway. ]

Alright! Let's hope this works, Kirishima! If not it was nice knowing you, you've been very useful. [ SHE KNOWS SHE WOULDN'T KILL HIM. ]

[Wait, what?

That's not reassuring. He doesn't know she's not going to kill him. He's already stuck here, inside a chamber, with no way of escape. That's way too ominous!]

Huh?

W, wait. Hatsume. You're not serious, are you?

[Goodbye, hero.]

[ Bye, bye! She just gives him a grin before closing the door. At least he can see what she's doing behind the glass? It's all pretty hard to grasp though, since she's just typing code onto the computer. The tools next to Kirishima pull away as promised and instead wires are attached to Kirishima via a few delicate machinery in the shape of hands. ]

Okay! Here goes nothing. [ He gets a thumbs up for taking this so well(?) ] Don't worry, you won't feel a thing! Just a tingle!

[They need an adult. Or he needs one. One that is Power Loader, to stop her from all this.

He's about to protest, but he's stuck and has no chance to, so instead he's kind of just hoping he doesn't turn into mush with the outfit or something.]

Don't say anything! You're not even making sense.

[He groans, but... lets her. He has no choice, after all.]

[ Welp! Well, she has nothing left to say to him so she'll do as she's told. A hand on the enter key, she presses with conviction.

He should feel that tingle... And then-- !!!! ]

Well, can you move?

[He's certainly going to try to move.

There's hesitation at first, because he doesn't suddenly want to blow up or anything, but eventually he starts trying to move his limbs tentatively.

Is anything going to happen? Will he die?]

[ The fabric becomes flimsy and melts right off of him as soon as he moves! Why? Don't ask me I'm not a scientist... (shiftseyes). Hatsume bursts through the door to get a better look.

A wise move... putting his pants on. ]

Guess I overdid it, huh?

[Yes, he's so glad for that. Of course, now he wished he didn't put his boots on because it's all bunching up at the bottom of his pants, but that was of little consequence in comparison.

He's glad. He's never asking her for anything again.]

You... really did. What was even the point of this thing?

[ But Kirishima. You need Hatsume. Everyone needs Hatsume and her cute babies. ]

I'll just have to tweak a few things, and it'll be perfect and match along my other cute babies! [ For a second, it doesn't even sound like she's listening to him. But she eventually turns to him to respond. ] Think about it, even with a hardening quirk you can only handle so much before you start to crack. If I can perfect the suit, it can save a life if they're ever in a hard place.

I'll call you again when it's ready.

[ RUN. ]

[He needs to live more. He lets her ramble on though, even as he takes his boots off so that he can get the melted outfit out from the holes on his pants, frowning.

He's impressed, but...]

Don't just make me into a guinea pig. Anyway, this is pretty impressive that you got it to follow my Quirk's consistency.

Hoo hoo, good thinking Kirishima. We can do that right now in fact!

[ You're never leaving this place. ]

[Wait, what?]

Huh? But--

[No. He's running. He can't stay, she might kill him with experiments. He's not afraid to die, but he doesn't want to be flooded into an experiment chamber.]
