[recommendations]

[ Momo has appeared in the imPort network many times now, over the course of her disjointed stay in this world. However, there now seems to be some doubt over whether this even is the same world she has been brought to do many times now. Perhaps that explains why she looks more harried than usual.

Her usually meticulous ponytail is done up in a messy bun. Her clothes are wrinkled, as though they have been slept in. And, though Momo is usually unafraid of showing an ample amount of skin, today she is wearing long sleeves and gloves. It is not cold enough in Jeopardy to warrant such dress. ]

I appear to have been gone some time. I did not return home for any length of time, as I've done before. However... My powers have been changed, according to the new file I was given. Not just my new nanite powers, but my quirk has been changed. I can't help but feel... [ She shivers. ] ...violated.

I have read back through the network archives, so I know I'm not the only one missing time, but... I guess I wanted to know if there was anyone else whose innate abilities which they had at home have been changed somehow, and how do you deal with that?


LOCKED to U.A. students and teachers, and Darin Altway:

Is everyone alright? I know it's silly of me to apologize for being gone so long, since it was out of my control, but... I worry. Please check in, if you're able.

It's good to see you again, Momo-san. [Her smile becomes an expression of concern, and she does note that Momo looks rather different than usual.] That is strange... and I would feel disturbed as well to have my powers change without any intervening explanation. Especially one that is a part of you as the Quirk is.

[recommendations]

Ahh, Fuu-san. It's good to see you, too. [ How relieved she is at the sight of a familiar face.

Though, it occurs to her that she and Fuu haven't talked much about their home worlds. She knows Fuu is from Japan, but... little else. ]

Did you have powers in your world, before you came here?

[monster_san]

No, on the Earth I grew up on, magic and superpowers were strictly the subject of fiction. It was quite a shock when I found out that they could actually be real, much less that I would be using such skills myself.

Truthfully?

I'm constantly expectin' the other shoe to drop. And I still end up carryin' way more than I can handle.

[recommendations]

[ She doesn't recognize the voice, or the username. It could just be someone she hadn't spoken to before, or it could be someone new who ported in during her absence. Given the subject matter, she's inclined to think the latter. ]

That... unfortunately is a fairly common feeling for imPorts, I think.

[justbeingknife]

Oh yeah? This is the first time I've heard of someone who was already here... changing.

[ So even if he figured out what his abilities were, they could just shift on him? ]

But it's not like someone put this on ya, right? It's just some kinda side effect?

[ Please say yes... ]

This past month was very weird to everyone. There were some people talking about their powers changing too.

I'm not sure if it's all related, however.

[recommendations]

Oh, so I'm not the only one? I can't decide if that's reassuring or something to be concerned about.

[anthropophagite]

I'm not sure either. Last month was a mess and things just... Changed when all was over.

Momo-chan!! [Holy good god, she was starting to worry when she hadn't heard from a few of her friends for a while since she got back. It's been a weight on Ochako's mind for a while now, and seems to lift slightly at the sight of her classmate.] I'm so glad to see you again, a-are you alright? I...I also was gone a month, and...

[Yeah, she doesn't want to get into the specifics, this isn't about her.]

What do you mean when you said your quirk was changed?

Permalocked!

[recommendations]

Uraraka-san! [ She doesn't even try to hide the relief in her voice. Ochako will get it. Ochako will understand why this whole ordeal is so disturbing to Momo. ]

Yes, the-- the file they gave me lists the same quirks and powers that it did before: Creation, extradimensional space within my hair, and those annoying bubble letters that pop up when I feel a strong emotion... [ It's a wonder they aren't popping up now, actually. ] But there was an addendum added to my Creation ability.

[ She pauses, biting her lip. ]

It says I can now create objects using the lipids in other people's cells, not just my own.

[floatsaway]

[It's so good to hear Momo's voice again, and the recognition on her face, the emotion Ochako sees, is that of someone who's not just from their world, but...who's shared time here, too. It's confirmed even more the way she speaks, and the relief is so obvious that Ochako's breath is caught on her mic in how she exhales.

But then is drawn in against because what the fuck. That's...that's--...it feels wrong. It feels so, so wrong. It's like someone just...experimented on her, and Ochako feels her skin crawl, and she's angry. She's ANGRY. And disgusted at everything this world pretends to be.]

Are you alright, Momo-chan? Did...did whatever they did to you...to change your quirk...does it hurt at all? Anywhere? Are there any side-effects to it? [She chews her lip, squeezing her eyes shut and grinding her teeth together. Push it aside, push it aside...don't get upset here, right now.] Why in the world would they want to alter your quirk?

I-I know that they change and evolve as a person grows, but...but that's normal for a person to go through!! Forcing it is just...j-just--

[rimuru]

Well, they were changed from the second I arrived, even before all of this. [ whatever this past month was ] Does that count?

[recommendations]

Hmm... I suppose it does. Perhaps I should count myself lucky that I was here for so long with my innate quirk unchanged?

[rimuru]

I'm not sure how powers get chosen or modified, but I was told it's normal for imPorts to have changes in their powers. So I never worried much that I was missing mine.

[khajidont]

...I'm sorry they messed with a part of who you are like that. But what are your new powers? Did you want some help dealing with those?

[recommendations]

Thank you, Jaime-san. It's... They changed my Creation quirk so that I can create items not only from my own lipid cells, but also from... other people's as well.

[ It feels like a massive breach of conduct that Momo doesn't intend to ever use consciously, but she's worried she won't have the same control she has over her normal quirk, and doesn't quite trust herself not to accidentally create something the next time she makes skin to skin contact with someone. ]

I don't... Do you think that's something you can help me train? To develop control over it?

[hot_handed]

If you're pissed about your quirk, I know how we can fix it.

[recommendations]

[ It's good to see you too, Bakugou. ]

I'm hesitant to ask... How can we fix it?

Welcome back, kid.

Sad to say Midoriya seems to have left. We were supposed to spar yesterday, and when he didn't show up, I pulled up the directory to call him and his entry is gone.

[recommendations]

Oh...

That's [ How does she put this? ] too bad. The last time I was here, Midoriya-san stayed with me the whole time. It feels strange to be here without him.

[genuinewrestleboy]

Momo? You okay? I don't know if I could help you with your quirk -- I didn't have powers before I got here. There's nobody I can punch to make it better, right? So uh, let me know if you need anything else.

[recommendations]

[ Oh, Caspar. She did miss you. ]

No, I don't want you to punch anyone for me. Even if there was someone to punch. But... Thank you, for offering.

[Text; un: Highfive]

[facepalmchampion]

That seems a little bold. Wouldn't you want the element of surprise instead of giving a heads up for watching how your quirk changed?

[recommendations]

[ "Highfive?" Who is this? Obviously someone from her world, if he's so familiar with the term 'quirk.' She has yet to meet another imPort whose world called powers by that name. ]

I have never tried to hide what my quirk was. I don't see why I should start now.
