Kaito had glared at Tsubame when she mentioned to make sure he brought swimming trunks when he went to the pool. Well, it was technically UA's pool. But still, it was the only access to a major body of water that he had without a bathroom. And the four foot six boy really wanted to swim. Though he also didn't want to swim with trunks on or anything really. But nope, he had to be "decent"...whatever that meant. The light brown skinned middle school student just had his pair of red swimming trunks on. He also had an orange inner tube that was just large enough for him to relax into. Considering he was the smallest person in his class, and likely here too, aside from Emiko-senpai in slime form, he doubted he'd have to worry about anyone using it. Unless someone was a jerk and stole it. But that would not be very "Plus Ultra" of them. Even more so since they were aiming to be heroes.
Tossing the tube into the pool, he started with some laps around the edge of it. He didn't notice it at first, but there were some depth differences, but the lowest depth was still four feet, while the deepest was twenty-five feet. He did dive deeper into the water and just swam around without much care. The silver haired student truly liked being in the water. Though that was also where he was at his best with his quirk active. Even in the rain. Kaito lazily floated back up to the surface and towards the edge. To find that he had guests. And he just stared at them with his yellow eyes.

There was something weird with pools compared to the freshwaters of lakes and ponds. They usually contained amounts of chlorine, and the mutant did taste that through his gills. However, it didn’t bother him anymore, for his Grandpa had already prepared him for such situations. That was how Ame began attending UA’s pool regularly instead of seeking the nearest lake; he got his daily moisture and watery fun, and he also got to meet other students from time to time depending on who visited the pool as well.
This time of the year was amazing. It was just the right moisture in the air, and he loved the gathering of huge clouds and seasoned rain. Albeit it not having rained in a while now, Ame could still taste the drops of water in the air as if he was in a tropical rain forest. It brought him strength and vitality, and it also helped him drop a lot of pressure of stress.
He popped his head out of the surface of the water in order to eye the small person on the other side of the pool near its edge. A gently dark-skinned, white-haired boy whom Ame hadn’t met before. He wondered who the boy was associated with to be here… or if the boy was a new student or something along the lines of that. He could only guess at this point, for the mutant in deep-blue trunks wasn’t mentally ready to greet yet. He needed a bit more courage and perception of the surroundings around him…

[googlefont="Open Sans"] [googlefont="PT Sans"] CRANK UP THE VOLUME AND WAKE UP THE NEIGHBORS aRE YOU HEARING THIS OR WHAT? Getting up on the roof had been a bit of a challenge in and of itself, but it would all be worth it in the end. Considering the roof of this particular building wasn’t exactly designed to have people on top of it. But something as silly as that wasn’t about to stop someone as determined as Emiko was. Already dressed in her one piece school swimsuit she peered over the edge down to where the pool was, quickly getting a head count of how many people were down there and about where they were. Mentally she began to plot out the exact trajectory she would need to take in order to have maximum impact on the water. While she wasn’t that heavy she could make herself rather small in her slime form and make quite the splash in the water below.
With a devilish grin she stepped back from the ledge of the roof and went almost to the other side of the building. She would need to get up to a full on sprint in order to close the gap between the building and the pool itself. Plus it would be fun to see just how far she could get out. Affixing her swimming goggles over her eyes she got down into a starting stance as though she were about to run in a sports festival. Breaking out into a sprint it only took a few seconds before Emiko was nearing the edge, already in her head she had a plan of when to jump for maximum distance.
“Cannonball!” Emiko shouted out in english as she soared through the air. Once she was sure she was over the water and began to fall down she suddenly changed from the form of a high school girl to that of a classic RPG slime monster. Contracting her body she made herself about as big as a basketball. Due to the decrease in surface area she sped up ever so slightly. The change didn’t make much difference though as it was less than a second before the slime felt itself crash into the water. A few seconds later the swimsuit that Emiko had been wearing before changing floated down and landed on the surface of the water itself. In the slightly blue colored water Emiko would be nearly invisible given its own translucent blue color.

Even though Fu had a less than ideal relationship with U.A., she had to admit that facilities were pretty nice. The empty music room was pretty and offered great acoustics for the few musically inclined students. There were some decent lounging areas and of course all of the state of the art training facilities. There were other facilities that tied in with other aspect of the school such as computer labs that could be used for the hero courses or the business aspect of the show. It was an odd thing for Futaba. Naturally, the hero course had the most resources but U.A. had enough money to also support the other aspects of the school. Granted, the msuic room had little to no instruments but it existed. Today wasn't about the music room though. Fu was feeling a little stressed so she decided to check out the pool that was part of U.A. She wasn't dressed to swim in the pool, rather she just wanted to sit by the pool. Wearing her usual casual clothing, Fu made herself comfortable on one of the chairs in the pool complex. Putting in her earbuds, she pressed shuffle on her music app.

| Jogging was usually Hyousuke's go-to when it came to training cardio and leg strength when the gym was packed. However, with the pool being open, and swimming being an excellent way of training his entire body at once due to the resistance the water posed, he figured that he could go for a different workout regimen once in a while. That, and it'd been far too long since he'd gone swimming. More than just wanting to keep himself in top-notch physical condition, he wanted to relax a little, and have some fun.
Emerging from the locker room in just his flip-flops and a pair of swimming trunks, Hyousuke gazed about the area, seeing who else had decided to hit the water that day. The results were... surprising. He'd expected there to be people in the pool of course, and more than a few to be diving straight in. But seeing someone perform what he could only describe as a literal cannonball into the pool caught him off guard, as did someone not actually bothering to get in, or even dress like they were going to think about it. Not that any of it was really something he thought he should be concerned about much, though.
"Gangway!" He called out, tossing his flip-flops aside, and leaping straight at the water's surface. |

Shifting sideways, Jon stared sullenly at their reflection before shrugging their shoulders several times, testing the stretch of the black swimming shirt. They tugging on the edges of the short sleeve that reached mid bicep and ran a hand down the front of their chest several times, smoothing away the imaginary bumps and wrinkles. Their comfortableness was palpable, held in the tense set of their shoulders and the tilt of their brow. The hem reached past their hips and they tucked the edges into the blindingly neon, green board shorts. Much like their athletic shirt they wore under their hero uniform, the swim shirt they found helped keep what little they had, properly put away. Put away. Jon snorted. Yeah, if only they could just pack that shit away and lose it.
“One day,” they told their mirror self, taking a couple of steps back and redirected their inner turmoil to the newly mended injury just above their partial sleeve. The skin was still a little tender, the scar still fresh but healed, a memento from a class assignment that went a little pear shaped. All part of the job to them, but it put a damper on anything that required water. Even showering was a real pain trying to keep it dry. Even so, it was just another added to their small collection and it’d fade with time. At least it hadn’t interfered with their tattoos, now that would have been annoying. Bad enough they nicked and cut up their hands every time they pushed their Quirk. They could just make out the healing bruises on their opposite bicep, the mottled pattern of yellows and greens had nearly faded out. God, that had been quite a day.
Giving one last cursory look in the mirror, Jon gave a quick double finger gun and grabbed their towel before heading out of the locker rooms. With each step, they tucked away their insecurities, stowing it neatly behind their usual cheeky grin and bright gaze. They squinted against the sunlight and with a casual flick above their head, dropped the sunglasses nestled in their hair, down. The bane of having lighter colored eyes meant they were that much more sensitive to light and the teen were not about to deal with that. Scratching their hip, they surveyed the area presented to them.
The right thing to do would to be use this time to train but what kind of fool would do that on such a nice day? Besides, now was the perfect excuse to try out their new prosthetic. Outwardly, it didn’t look any different than their every day use one, same build and model, though made out of lighter materials and the joints were water proof to protect the microprocessor. If it handled well, then Jon had the option of switching from Martha. Of course new prosthetic meant new problems and the teen found it easier to walk with shoes. It eased their swaying gait and they had more of a saunter than a drunk stumble and Jon would add a tic in the pro column. Much like Martha, it was utilitarian rather than aesthetic and there was no hiding the silver pylon in place of their lower leg.
Jon hummed at the floating swimsuit before bypassing the pool in it’s entirely, stepping around a pair of discarded flip flops and meandered over to where Futaba was sitting, dropping into one of the nearby chairs. Noting the earphones, Jon gave a little waggle of fingers before leaning back into the chair, tipping their head up to let the warmth of the sun wash over them.
It lasted for a solid minute, Jon nearly counting the seconds in their head before they sat up and leaned forward, giving a slow wave in front of Futaba to catch her attention. They persisted until they were sure the teen noticed them and they smiled brightly.
“Not swimming today?” Jon asked, looking over the top of their sunglasses.

Post by Keni on Nov 10, 2019 18:58:32 GMT
It had been a day or two since Keni's sparring match with Jun, and as he laid on his bed all he could think about was how fun and intense the fight was as well as how much stronger he needed to get. Which only infuriated him seeing as he has the opportunity to be taught by a hero a looked up to but his mom refuses to give him permission to learn from the man. Sure he no longer had his hero license but there was still so much the man could teach. Besides with all the classes he missed thanks to his grandfather's funeral he felt as though he was behind every other first year here whether it was true or not. As a sigh escaped his lips Keni decided that it would be best for him to find something to occupy his time, but what. I guess I could go to the P.E. field but I don't really feel like running into that orange hair third year again. Maybe the pool? Yeah I could get some laps in and build up my endurance while I figure out what my next move will be. So with that thought Keni quickly hopped off his bed, and filled his duffle bag with a towel and a change of clothes. Following that the young air bender would change into his black knee length swim trunks and flip flops before then grabbing his duffle bag and heading off towards the pool.
As Keni arrived at the pool area he'd find himself pausing at the entrance for a second as he was a bit shocked to see any many people as he did at the poolside. A few faces he recognized from watching them at the sports festival but there were also a few others he'd never seen before. And out of everyone there he was the only one from 1-B, plus he came here to get a few laps in and so that was exactly what he was going to do. So with that the 1-B air user would walk over to the farthest part of the pool where he'd discard his duffle bag and flip flops before then performing a few stretches as he got he himself nice and loose for his swim. During a few of his stretches Keni would feel a sharp pain originating from the cauterized wound he had on the top of his left shoulder, compliments of Jun. Yet he pushed through it and after all his stretches were done Keni then positioned himself at the edge of the pool where he'd immediately dive in. The moment his body made contact with the water Keni began his first lap. With every arm stroke Keni's mind would flash back on his fight with Kyo, as well as the battles he witnessed at the sports festival, as well as his own personal shortcomings. Each image causing him to swim faster, as he tried to sort out the discord with in his mind. The next thing Keni knew he was at the other end of the pool. Resting his arms on the ledge he began focusing his breathing as he geared up for his return lap.

First was a carrot top with blue swimming trunks. Wait, didn't UA have a swimming uniform? Kaito could have sworn that they did. And the boy glared at the newcomer, who seemed reluctant to come closer after seeing that he wasn't the only one going. A sound from above that sounded like Emiko-senpai sounded, causing the silver haired boy look up. To see a blue ball hit the pool behind him, and a female swimming uniform dropping into the pool soon after. Another girl entered, though didn't seem intent on swimming, just relaxing by the poolside. That was fine by him, and Kaito welcomed Emiko's entrance. A tall and muscular blond entered and dived into the pool. Not quite where the misplaced swimwear was, but close enough to send it towards the middle school student. And again, another person showed up. This time, a boy with similar skin tone/color and not much taller than Kaito showed up, and took a place wear the non-swimmer was. Another silver haired boy also showed up, but seemed the solitary type. And unlike Kaito, he was just tanned. Though he did have an interesting looking wound on the one shoulder...but the guy didn't bother him or anyone else and just started swimming laps. Sighing heavily, he grabbed Emiko's swimwear and put it on the edge. Scanning the pool, he could barely see the blue ball.
Taking a deep breath, he dived down, and before picking her up, traced who he was on the top of her head. If she allowed it, Kaito would pick her up and take her to the surface, swimming towards her unworn swimwear. Putting the slime on the edge, hopefully she would transform to a human. And if not, he'd trace on the top of her head if she could do that quick. Though perhaps to her disappointment, Kaito wouldn't be embarrassed or anything if she appeared completely naked. "Who are these people? And why don't most of them have the UA standard swimwear?" Though he was paying attention partially to the muscular blond and the guy doing laps. He wasn't much of a people person...the only one he's met was Emiko-senpai. Though the girl did like vaguely familiar too...but he didn't know from where.

… Oh no. Just when Ame thought that he could gather some courage in silence, only hearing the splashing sound of waves hitting his ears, another splash softly pushed bigger waves his way. That came from Emiko, and he spotted her transformation which did confirm her identity. She was from his class and all, and yet she apparently disappeared the moment she hit the surface. Even when he looked for her underwater - obviously after taking a deep breath to recollect himself - she was faintly invisible in her slime form… but by looking at the position of her floating swimsuit, he could deduct a possible area where she would be-
Wait, what was her swimsuit doing out in the open!? What if… oh no, he hoped that she would stay in slime form for the duration of her time here.
Many others soon arrived at the pool once Ame reached the surface once more. One of them, a dark-haired girl whom he hadn’t met before had just sat on a chair near the pool and listened to music. She didn’t seem to be the talkative person at first sight… he could only assume so with the headphones. As weird and judgmental that was, Ame knew what he himself used headphones to back in the days… back when he only talked with his Grandpa.
“… C’mon, Ame, don’t be shy…” he whispered to himself, the words turning to bubbles as his mouth was still underwater. He rose his head a little to let it grasp air before starting to say: “… He-“ A wave of chlorine-mixed water - typical for pools - covered his head in a moment, braking his greeting and catching him off guard again despite the warning. It was a blonde-haired student that Ame remembered to have seen before, different from how the mutant didn’t know anything about previous girl. He sure had a lot of faces to remember if he could end up meeting them too… it would be so respectful to say things like ‘I’ve heard of you…’ and ‘I know about you, you do tight and efficient work’ and stuff like that. A whole year had passed, and he was still mainly comfortable with his own class, truly.
Many more people showed up, but Ame’s attention was pulled towards the question from the guy whom Ame had seen first in the pool. Smiling brightly, Ame swam over to him and to Emiko, gladly responding: “I brought my own, special trunks when I first came here! I’ve grown used to them and never really bothered to borrow UA’s suits, especially in free time…!” Trunks sown and made by himself were just ‘better’ in his eyes, likely due to the chemistry between the weaves and fabric.
“Say, I haven’t seen you around the UA… I’m not good at keeping track on students and all, though. Maybe I’ve just missed spotting you. You must be friends with Emiko, if I’m correct?”

[googlefont="Open Sans"] [googlefont="PT Sans"] CRANK UP THE VOLUME AND WAKE UP THE NEIGHBORS aRE YOU HEARING THIS OR WHAT? Once inside the water Emiko felt itself sinking further and further down until finally coming to rest on the tiled floor of the pool. For a few moments it contemplated what might be a good way to proceed from here. It had noticed a few people before jumping from the roof, and a few more on the way down. Just as it was about to make a move though it felt a hand touching it. As it began to trace out something atop the rounded body of the slime like creature Emiko felt slightly confused. Unfortunately Emiko still wasn’t exactly the best at the whole Japanese writing thing. Having originally just learned English it took almost until it was out of the pool to be able to generally put together who it was that had grabbed a hold of it. Mostly it was able to figure it out because it had seen Kaito before jumping in the first place. Once placed on the edge of the pool Emiko quickly began to stretch out and change into a more humanoid form.
Unlike usual Emiko didn’t take on a normal colored form and remained a translucent blue in color and generally looked human, though didn’t form any of the “features” that one might normally use to determine someone’s sex. And of course with their usually androgynous set of features Eimko was truly nutter at the moment. Some joke about a ken doll came to mind for a moment as they looked around and took in the sights of what was going on. Most everyone around she didn’t recognize at first sight. Obviously they knew Kaito from their encounter the other day and she recognized Amenasu from her class but everyone else was a complete unknown to them. Man… they really needed to socialize more.
“Good question. I guess since it’s not technically a class the school doesn’t really care if people use the uniform swimsuit or not,” they said with a shrug. Grabbing their nearby swimsuit they held it up and showed the white section on the front. “I just use this one since it’s got my name on it,” they said with a wide grin on their face as they pointed to the kanji characters across the front meaning Laughter and Child, combined to make the slime person’s name.
“Oh, this is Kaito. He’s not a student. He was adopted by the vice headmaster,” Emiko said while suddenly moving behind Kaito and pressing up behind him. Part of their strange slime like body began to somewhat melt as though they were trying to engulf the small boy. “We had an…… encounter the other day and got to know one another,” Emiko said, the pause for effect a rather purposeful move one that Amenasu would no doubt have experienced the many times Emiko had taken a rather innocent statement and twisted it to sound as lewd as possible in class before.

Oh yeah, Jon goes to U.A. I almost forgot.
Fu took out one of her earbuds and paused the music. Her hearing has been less than ideal lately so she needed to pause her music to fully hear what Jon was saying. As she sat up to speak to Jon, she noticed more students were at the pool than initially thought. Some were students in her class while others were in the other classes around the school. "I've never been a fan of swimming but that might be because I'm from Otaru and the water is always freezing around there. I also have hearing issues so I don't want to get water into my ears." Fu shrugged a bit before looking around.
"I just wanted to relax a bit. What brings you here? I assume to swim? Fu asked, watching some of the other students go about their day by the pool.

Jon bobbed their head agreeing as Futaba answered them. “Cool, cool,” they answered automatically before grinning. “Maybe not so cool, but eh semantics. Def warmer here, sometimes.” They slid the towel off their shoulder, shoving it backwards over the chair and didn’t bothering to make sure it stayed. Instead they hummed thoughtfully as the towel made a slow bid for freedom over the back of it. “Oh yeah? Uh…” Jon pushed their sunglasses back up atop their head, twisting in their chair to better face the girl. “They make special ear plugs for that, but I get it. My old man’s deaf and water and him do not get along.”
“But, nothing wrong with dipping a foot in. Promise, I wont oogle any bare ankles you might flash.” Jon held up two fingers while pressing the palm of their hand over their heart. “Scouts honor I’m a total gentlemen between eleven and five pm, Monday through Friday. Unless it’s a holiday. Then it’s all fair game for them ankles.”
Bending, the teen worked on untying the laces of their sneakers, struggling with the double knot they hastily tied earlier and lamented not having nails. Their own were short, heavily chewed on and a little brittle from the overuse of their Quirk. Two of them sported flecks of old bruising. Jon gave a triumphed little “yay!” under their breath when they worked the knot loose. Straightening, they toed one sneaker off and ignored the other in favor of speaking.
“I know I got the habit of talkin’ a mile a minute like my life depends on it,” they chuckled at their self awareness, adding a quick wink. “So, if you need me to talk, uh, you know talk slower or whatever, just say the word. I make no promises, but I’ll try.”
“Can’t really swim myself,” they answered offhandedly, staring back out at the nearby pool antics with a rather subdued interest. The quiet moment lasted all of a heartbeat before Jon rapped their knuckles on their prosthetic’s thigh socket, the sound dulled by their shorts. “But, thought I might try this new bad boy out. Supposed to be waterproof, same microprocessor in the knee joint I use in my other ladies.” They paused to twist their legs inward; the prosthetic mirroring their real leg as they briefly knocked their knees together. “thinking of calling her Ariel. What do you think?”

As everyone else continued on mingling Keni went back to do his laps. Only this time the young airbender would use air propulsion to swim back and forth from end to end. He did this as a slight way to train quirk, as well as his reaction time. For every time he got close to the wall he'd do a summersault so that his feet would touch the wall before then pushing off and swimming back in the other direction. With each lap Keni intensified his propulsion as to speed up his rate of movement and thus his reaction time. For Keni being able to keeping a free fluid movement while in any kind of rapid movement was his goal. He wanted to encompass all the attributes of wind in everything he did. From fighting, to running, to swimming, to even walking. He needed to be free flowing and ever adoptable, while maintaining strength and speed. This is what Keni strived for as he continued his own personalized training regime.
