Hey, uh... what happens if ya lose that fancy little dossier they hand ya when you wake up here? There a way to get an extra copy?

I tried callin' a help line, but to make a long story short, it wasn't too helpful. And if I have to keep wearing this fursuit, I'm gonna flip out.

Probably, if you're patient enough. I probably wouldn't be. Can't stand that shit.

Usually the only stuff that's written in there is the stuff that you already know. Unless you got special powers you need to read about?

[justbeingknife]

That's exactly it. Only got to skim the cover page before I lost the damn thing.

[burlyboy]

Sounds like you've got some hoops to jump through, then.

It's that, or you gotta put yourself in a position where you'd learn about 'em naturally.

[justbeingknife]

Naturally? What would ya recommend?

Hope you're not about to tell me to put myself in a stressful situation, because that's how I ended up in this pickle in the first place!

text, ID reads 'tadashi'

[tadeadshi]

You know, I lost mine first day when I first arrived and I never did figure out how to get a new one.

But if you want a different job, then you don't have to stay with what they assigned you.

Glad there's some hope for me, but I was hopin' there was some quick fix for the file folder thing.

A little extra insurance that if I hop jobs, I'm not gonna end up accidentally trappin' someone in a time vortex. I've been tryin' not to get excited, and it's mostly been working.

[tadeadshi]

I've been in and out of here a few times now, and every time I've changed jobs. You don't have to worry about anything like that.

What exactly do you mean by "fursuit"?

text

[justbeingknife]

Huh?

Whattaya mean, what do I mean? Got a big old animal head on top, furry mitten parts for the hands... a fursuit.

[articulations]

So you're kind of like a walking carpet. Or rather a wookie. Or an ewok?

Or maybe not because I can understand your message clearly as far as language goes.

Dossier? [That's not a word she, a small teenage girl, is hyper familiar with. Thankfully, after reading through some of those other responses, she gets the idea.]

Oh! You mean the file they give you about your powers. Ehh...I misplaced mine shortly after I got here, and I never really thought to request a new one... But most of what it detailed was just things I already knew about myself and my quirk.

[Though it was super weird other people in a foreign country knew about it, but whatever. Ochako's fed up with this place and it's goddamn secrets.]

[justbeingknife]

[ It was so sad. This thousand-yard stare wasn't even visible, what a waste. ]

Does anyone actually read their files, or does it go straight in the garbage?

Nothing I used to be able to do works right around here, so I was hopin' for some kinda manual. Or at least a warning pamphlet. Joke's on me, I guess.

How'd they even compile all that info?

[floatsaway]

[¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sorry, man.

Ochako looks a little sheepish, and her embarrassed giggle betrays her. Yeah, it sure does seem that way, that people tend to just...shrug off that information they're given. Maybe because it's mostly information they know, or that it's creepy as hell that someone has that sort of thing out there on there. For her, it's a little normal - people and their quirks were registered in a sort of codex in her world, the moment super powers manifested, and one could update their quirk status as they grew and learned the true nature of their powers, so...she thought little of it when she first arrived.

Now, Ochako's starting to second guess that decision.]

S-Sorry... I never tried it, but you may be able to request it again? I mean, I'm sure there's an American embassy somewhere that has connections to where we first arrived...if you can't get access to the area itself, wh-which I doubt.

They may be able to get you a copy? [Hey, it a start.]

If you're willing to make the trip back to Cape Canaveral, you'll probably have better luck going in-person than anything else. Easier to verify your identity, and all that.

How'd you get stuck with a fursuit?

[justbeingknife]

Not sure I like having my particles sent cross-country, but it may be the only call here. Just can't help wonderin' what's going to happen if there's an accident, ya know?

[ AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT INDEED...... ]

Oh, uh, it was in the club room. I don't know if it's Nonah's official animal or what, but it's more challengin' than you'd think. You gotta emit personality without sayin' a word. And keepin' that thing clean's a nightmare.

[dragony]

Oh, I can imagine! And it gets really hot on the inside, too, right? I got roped into one of those mascot costumes a few years back, while I was on a blind date, and I almost fainted from the heat. A job like that takes a lot of endurance.

The transporting is pretty safe, though. I think the only mishaps have been because of sabotage, but that's pretty rare. Not knowing what your powers are, or how they work... that's way more risky.

[adamantlyardent]

Fur suit...?

text

[justbeingknife]

You know. Big animal head, fuzzy mittens, breathin' mesh?

What, are those rare around here or something?

[adamantlyardent]

I'd just never heard of someone having to wear them. Is someone forcing you in some manner?
It sounds very shady.

[anthropophagite]

What's a fur suit?

[justbeingknife]

It's like a Wookie costume, but not a Wookie. Actually, it's got nothing to do with Star Wars at all.

[anthropophagite]

I'm sorry, I don't know what any of that means...

[rimuru]

Why are you wearing a fursuit if you don't like it?

[justbeingknife]

That's just life, man. Sometimes we all have to do things we ain't particularly fond of -- things we'd just as soon skip.

Like eatin' orange Starbursts.

[rimuru]

I don't see why a fursuit would be one of those things you have to do.

Is it a dare?
