Hey hey HEY everybody! Hizashi Yamada aka Pro Hero Present Mic coming at you today with a couple of questions! Just a little bit of fun since I'm bored and my roommate is a sleepy bastard but is also keeping 4 legged kids out of my hair for the time being.

Question ONE!

I'm used to Christmas being a kind of low key romantic holiday versus all these American traditions, so I'm curious, what's your favorite tradition you've seen in this super mega weird version of the United States? Or back home, yo I'm not picky! Talk to me!

[He's clearly got his camera/device/whatever set up so it's hands-free, considering the finger guns he's firing off in the camera's direction, the big cheesy grin on his face absolutely fitting the radio persona he's putting on. It's so easy to fall back on a professional persona sometimes. He leans back, then spins in his chair before leaning into the camera again.]

Now for something a little more serious! Question TWO!

Got some feelers out for an idea I wanna float along to you cool cats and dogs who might be interested. Calling out to all you ImPort Educators! What kind you ask, well I don't really feel like being too picky right now, but you've gotta be interested in working with ImPort kiddos!

Without explaining too much, "imports" or people with quirks are pretty dang common where I come from! Usually, kiddos start showing out with their quirks at a pretty young age, and it looks like ImPorts with powers of all ages show up here too. I figure it might be a good idea to get a group of adults who've got their powers under control to help teach these kids to grow into their newfound powers. You know? Keep 'em from hurting themselves or others accidentally... Help 'em figure out if the whole Hero gig is what they want to do!

Can't do that on my own though, which is where you guys come in.

I'm definitely looking for help to set up a school that's more suited for ImPort kids who need help harnessing their powers you dig? Get em certified, give em a little step up, and support their basic education too! Most of the kids I taught back home that found themselves here seem pretty frustrated with the native school system, so it seemed natural to support all these kids rather than just the ones that are already my responsibility.

So, if any of you ImPorts wanna give me a ring, you've got my attention now, or you can contact me privately. Tell me about how you'd wanna help and all that jazz.

And before any funny business starts I'm not really looking for this to turn into a debating ground, so let's avoid that whole ordeal, yo!

So, what's Black Friday, anyway? Is this some American day of remembrance for a tragedy I don't know about?

And before any of you decide to get cute about it:

1. I'm not from the US, and I'd never been before arriving here

2. I tried searching for the same information about Columbus Day and got what I'm pretty sure are all the same sales advertisements I'm seeing now only with fewer birds

[The voice on the other side is most certainly half-awake, or just recently woken up. To be perfectly fair, the first thing Ochako did once she was given all the necessary information and her residency key, was head right for said residence and fall face first into her bed to sleep off the massive headache and nausea that overtook her when she came in. She was told it was normal for ImPorts to undergo these minor side-effects, and Ochako smiled and played it off easily enough, but she knew the real reason for her extreme fatigue the moment she got in.

Stress, mostly...but also a slew of various memories all hitting her at once, like a baseball bat to the side of her head. The migraine was unimaginable, to the point she had to hold down some serious sick, but she's gotten better about keeping the contents of her stomach in their rightful place. Some painkillers (thank goodness for that pay allowance), a heavy nap, and some water later and she blinks tiredly at her communicator, unsure of where to go from her initial hello.]


Mm...I sort of know what's going on, so I don't think I need too much information? My head still kind of hurts from it all... O-Oh, um, this is Ur-- [She pauses, then clears her throat. Right, right, not sure exactly who is and isn't here, so better play it safe. If just about anyone can get taken here...] Uravity. I-I don't know if the video is on? Let me know, this thing is so strange, I barely know how to work it...

[Says the girl still using a flip phone, since she could never afford those pricey smartphones. Maybe here, she can finally upgrade...or actually learn to use this thing-a-majig. It's practically the same, anyway...]

Oh, anyone from U.A. Highschool, um...just let me know you're here? Please... A-And anyone else rea--eh...hearing this? I'd love some recommendations to clothing and grocery stores that are well priced! Or maybe some restaurants and take-out. [She's not exactly Iron Chef or anything, after all. Plus, Ochako half feels like she's imposing on her housemate. It'll take some time to get used to living with strangers, and getting to (hopefully?) know them a little better. This was so different than living in the dorms with all her classmates. Her friends. This felt so much more...impersonal.]

O-Oh and... [She touches her two index fingers together, blushing, despite the camera not being on.] S-Somewhere to get a cute plush toy or two... M-My room feels so empty.

[That, and she sort of, kind of, wants a little buddy to hold on to. It's grounding, and she still has a lot of her mind.]

So, my coworkers were telling me that holiday involving fireworks is coming up again very soon. Therefor, I feel the need to say a few things because I predict the clinic is already going to get a few nasty burn cases like last year.

Please refrain from using fireworks if you're drunk, do not launch them at each other, and for the Maker's sake, your body is not a suitable platform to shoot them off of.

Hello.

I've been assigned a very important task that I now realize I'm very ill-prepared for, having lived a life of quiet and pathetic solitude.

Please help:

1. Party game suggestions?
2. Venue recommendations?
3. Cocktail + mocktail recipes?
4. Public speaking tips?
5. Dance instruction maybe????

Thank you.

[Here's Hizashi, firing off enthusiastic finger guns at the camera, once again. Honestly it doesn't really seem like he stops moving the whole video, as he talks as much with his hands as he does his mouth.]

Heeeeeeeeey there listeners! Hope everyone's hanging in there and keeping your noses out of trouble! Looks like there might be a little bit of an uptick in media attention thanks to this new popularity contest gig but that's not what I'm here to talk to you about!

Got a little problem I was hoping some more tech-inclined of you out there could solve for me! My Quirk's called Voice. [he pauses, pursing his lips and then leans in towards the screen.] You know, superpower or whatever it gets commonly called here. I've got crazy pitch and volume and all that jazz but it's hard to direct without causing serious damage unintentionally without my support gear!

[he inserts a shrug here, dramatic, exaggerated.] So what I'm looking for is someone who can help me out and fashion me something similar! Not really digging going through more traditional channels for this you dig? I've got rough sketches and can talk to you about what it needs to do.

[He flashes a couple of these sketches on the screen - he is clearly not an artist but they are at least usable - and he at least includes an actual photograph of the gear around his neck shown here.]

Hit me up if you've got the means, and we can talk about payment, yo!

[Toshinori's had this post percolating in his head for a while, but he's been hesitant to talk about it, not in the least because he's sure Midoriya, Momoyao and Present Mic would know right away that it was him and would (rightfully) be upset he didn't talk to them first. Heck, anyone he's told his story to might be able to piece it together.

But he has to know, and wants to hear the perspectives of people for whom he isn't All Might. So here he goes.]


I know there are some people here who come from worlds where superheroes are common, so you may know best how to answer this, but then again anybody from any world might have some insight.

Say that, back in your world, you were a great hero. Your life was dedicated to saving people, you loved to do it, and it was all you could ever see yourself doing.

Except something happens, your body just isn't strong enough to support your heroism any longer, and then you have to retire.

What do you do? How do you spend your time when you didn't plan on giving up the proverbial cape so soon? How do you still feel useful?

[ So it seems Ronan Lynch has skipped straight through his twenties and thirties, landing somewhere around the age his father was when his skull got crushed by an assassin's tire iron. Anyone who knew him will appreciate that Ronan is an unsettlingly identical copy of Niall Lynch. Anyone who did not can simply admire the several inches of luxurious dark curls Ronan has gained to replace his former mohawk. It's really giving his whole supervillain aesthetic a sophisticated edge, especially since he's broadcasting from the gloom of his bedroom. ]

Okay, I wanna see everyone else's fuckery. Show it off. I've seen monkeys and mini versions so far, but did anyone get anything majestically freakish? We need to record this for the 'gram, in case the planets un-align or whatever and this is over in a couple hours.

Sidebar: Is anyone else's magic acting weird?

[Hizashi is at least well versed in social media so when the video starts his face is neatly framed in the video just as he fires off a one-handed finger gun.]

Is this sort of social media traffic normal here? With all the little kiddo posts? From the sound of it the animal dudes don't seem to be used to it either so I'm gonna take a wild guess this sort of thing isn't usual, yo.

I was thinking about just using this to get to know some people, ask for music suggestions, info on local hangouts and that sort of thing, but I gotta say, that feels kind of tone deaf with all this going on, you dig?

Anyone need help?
