Good guys my ass.

[The face that comes into view glares into his screen, not bothering to hide his contempt. How it's possible to judge the network so early is a mystery, but somehow he's managed to.]

Good guys don't waste my time with shitty assignments and craptoos. What the fuck is an anger management facility?! It's better off bein' recycled into fireworks-

[His free hand, cupping his chin, twitches, tense and restless. Blowing up his newly assigned workplace would certainly help soothe his anger, but it's probably illegal. Shame. As disgruntled as the teen appears, Katsuki didn't come on the network to complain. He scoffs, takes a breath, and:]

OKAY, LISTEN UP!!!

I'm looking for anyone from UA- hell, anyone from our rival schools. People with quirks. Whatever. If you don't know what I mean, answer this:

How do I make some real money in this shithole? Enough money to start my own agency.

Don't waste my time telling me you don't got any answers, or I'll kill ya.

[He slams his hand down on the table. And if he accidentally singes the table, well. It was an ugly table to begin with.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Just taking some notes.

[He flashes his tablet around so Katsuki can see the literal screen full of text, even as it still types.]

The grenade bracers. What do they do to help you?

What the-

[He squints and leans in, looking for any visible implants in Tadashi's face.] You got some kinda tech quirk?

The recoil from my explosions eventually injures my arms if I go too far. I can store as much sweat as I want to in these and there's an ignition pin so I don't have to worry about holding back.

I'm an engineer, tech is kind of my life.

[But that's... Actually well thought out. Okay, so confident, strong power, and some awareness of his limitations and taking some preventative measures.]

Sleeves are fire resistant or fire proof, I'm guessing? Have you considered making them some kind of bracers so there's less strain on your arms? Or are you worried about restriction of movement?

That doesn't answer my question!

[This guy is an asshole, but he's a smart asshole, so Katsuki steps back again. He glances down at his bracers and frowns.]

They're resistant, but not completely fireproof. My arms are fine! And it'd restrict my movements when I go hand-to-hand.

[Yep, more notes on that. Maybe he can rig something up... If this guy is willing.

God, it's not even really his place to do it, he's just bored. Youth counselling is nice and it lets him help troubled kids, but also... This lets him think outside the box. Problems he didn't create himself and already know the answers to.]

So that's a concern... Got that.

[His eye starts twitching again because this guy... He reminds him of all the support nerds at UA. Granted, Katsuki didn't utilize them much; his costume was dreamt up by him with a few practical tweaks from the support company. And yet...]

Yeah, I like punching people. And kicking, and kneeing them. It's why I got these.

[He nods at his metal kneepads.]

[Yeah, funny that. He watches Katsuki while still taking some more notes. There are beginnings of ideas forming. But he'll have to find a lab space to work on it.]

I think I can come up with something.

...What the fuck just happened?!

[He's staring off, into the clouds. He has no idea how they got here.]

[He finally taps a couple things on his tablet smiling to himself.]

I think I can make something to help with that if you want.

[He's gonna do it no matter what, just Katsuki's answer will determine if it gets used or if he does it for fun.]

[The wind blows, and Katsuki shakes his head to clear it.]

Like an upgrade? What makes you think you could come up with something better than this?

I didn't say 'better', just that it could help with those issues if I do it right. But that's only if you want it.

[He taps twice more on his tablet, then flips it around to show him the most basic, basic beginner schematic plan for what he's talking about. It's nothing more than a skeleton outline of Katsuki, his current equipment, and some notes and a few sketches of ideas.]

[He looks at the schematics. He can't really determine what Tadashi has in mind yet, but...]

YOU'RE ON! LET'S SEE WHO CAN COME UP WITH THE BEST HERO COSTUME!!!

[Because it's obviously a challenge, right???]

[If that's how he wants to view this, then Tadashi will go along... reasonably. If it starts to be a problem he'll cut it out.]

All right then. We'll see who does it.

[He pauses and looks like he's going to ask something- then decides against it.]

How much time do you need?

Hmm....

Maybe a month.

[He's overestimating, but he's taking in the time to find a work space, get materials. The measurements he can write a program to pull from the video he took earlier.]

[He'd like to say he won't be here in a month. But he has a whole government to undermine.]

Fine. See ya in a month.

[Yeah Tadashi's not the biggest fan of the government considering everything, so. He's down for that.

He holds out one hand.]

In a month then.

[He just...stare at Tadashi's hand.

And then he tries to punch it. Albeit not hard enough to injure.]

See ya, Tech Guy.

[He turns and starts walking off. What a headache. Hopefully it's worth it.]

[Oh... He keeps his hand where Katsuki 'punched' it. Then... does a really... nostalgic "ba-la-la-la".... hand-finger wave.

Man he misses Hiro.]
