Alright, I won't waste anyone's time with pointless questions about how or why we got here, but there are a couple of things I'm looking for information about:

1. How many minors and noncombatants are aboard this station? Note, these are separate categories. I don't care how powerful or skilled you are; if you're under twenty, I consider you a member of the former.

2. It'll be helpful for us to have an idea of each other's Quirks. I'm not under the illusion that all of us have reason to trust each other or cooperate, but presumably none of us want to be here, so. If you're willing to provide information on any abilities you might have that could be considered "supernatural" in any way, I intend to compile it for our collective use.

As for baseline human abilities, I suppose you could define them as what a person is capable of solely via hand-to-hand. Running, jumping, punching, kicking. That kind of thing. I don't keep track of the averages for that kind of thing when Quirks are factored of out the equation, but it should give you a general idea.

[holyhalone]

[Aymeric wasn't made Lord Commander for sleeping in all day, the crack of dawn or whatever Aizawa decided the crack of dawn would be wouldn't pose him any trouble.]

I think I have a general sense now, at least. Baseline, by your definition, would be those who cannot use magic - whose skills are limited to their physical capabilities alone.

I wouldn't say I can't use magic, only that I've never tried and would need extensive training. Whether you consider the capacity to learn these skills a 'Quirk' or not I suppose it up to your judgment.

[eraserdad]

That, and no abnormal physical features such as wings or claws or tails.

For the purposes I was asking, we might as well say you don't have one for now.

[Hm.]

What kind of training would you need?

[holyhalone]

I've never studied the particulars of magecraft, I don't honestly know if I even have the aptitude for it. But I suppose were I to pursue it, I would need to find a discipline I'm suited for, a teacher versed in said discipline, a catalyst, and many moons of practice.

My hopes are that we do not spend the lengthy amount of time here that would be requisite for my learning to cast magic. Spending moons away from my home would be unthinkably perilous for the current state of affairs.

[eraserdad]

I see. My students have a variety of Quirks, so it was possible we could've included it in our training, but it sounds as if you need a teacher specifically familiar with your brand of "magic", so that's fine.

I'll see you tomorrow morning in the gym. 6 AM.

Do you wanna switch this thread to in-person then? :O

[holyhalone]

Or perhaps a few very good books on the subject, otherwise I may as well be reinventing the wheel. Regardless it may be fully better for me to stick with what I know; I like to believe I have some use outside of my capabilities for magic or combat.

[Though in a prison he wasn't sure how useful 'diplomacy' would really prove to be.]

6 sharp, then. Will there be a way for me to tell who you are? I'm afraid I don't know what you look like.

if it's ok i'd prefer to handwave for now, i'm a lil swamped

[eraserdad]

Here, I'll just show you.

[He turns on the video for like, three seconds, revealing a man approximately thirty years of age, with shaggy black hair and tired eyes.]

You can call me Aizawa, if you want. Though Eraserhead works just as well.

that's fine!

[holyhalone]

[The video startled Aymeric a bit, though at least now he had an idea of who he was looking for.]

I wish I knew how to return the favor, I'm having a hard enough time as it is writing correspondence.

As I said, I'm Elezen; taller than a Hyur - or human - by roughly a yalm, with long ears. My name is Aymeric.

[eraserdad]

Mm, hang on.

[insert some instructions, because heck if I know how the terminals work lol.]

[He doesn't know what a yalm is for one thing, and also is that taller than the average human or taller than like, a freak of nature like All Might? He doesn't want to play guessing games based on ears alone.]

[holyhalone]

[Well it took a good several minutes of bungling, but since Aizawa insisted and was kind enough to offer instructions, Aymeric made his very best attempt at it. He sent a roughly five second clip of first, the ground, then bringing his communicator up to show his face - relatively young, long pointed elf ears, an ear cuff and bright blue earring adorning one - before it abruptly cut off.]

Hopefully that was satisfactory? I’m surprised these devices can capture a person’s features so clearly.

[Of course the recording didn’t show off Aymeric’s height - roughly 6’7” - so that would be quite a surprise for Aizawa later.]

[eraserdad]

[shhh don't worry, All Might is like, 7'2'' so he's used to unreasonably tall people being a thing.]

Photography doesn't exist where you come from, then?

[these universe differences or whatever are Weird]
