Judging Air
Michael stood back and took on his stance again to be at the ready, wondering what exactly her gadgetry would bring to their spar. While he had the speed and agility to face her, if she had a way to catch up or clear the distance, Michael might have the severe challenge to face. This gauntlet of hers clearly had something going as he could see the energy convulsing around it.
When Emi gave Michael a nod, his whole body tensed up nervously. She didn't move from her place as she threw a punch in the air in his direction. Michael expected what was to come a moment too late. A pressurized air punch slammed into his chest as he attempted to bend out of the way. The impact wasn't dead on but enough to knock him back. A powerful gadget indeed. With that on, she'd be able to throw punches at a distance just as well as she could up close.
The blunt hit from the air cannon of a punch didn't hurt greatly against his rubbery body, but it wasn't something Michael could take lightly. Michael inflated himself slightly, elongating his torso and limbs slightly to stretch himself a bit thinner. If she was able to attack from a distance, than he would just need to dodge these. The biggest issue was this was pressurized wind, he wouldn't be able to see it. So he'd have to dodge off of two concepts alone. The first would be to keep his eyes on her fists. Timing and perception were the names of the game as he could easily manipulate his body to move him out of the line of trajectory that her punches were in line with. The geometry was nothing new for how he needed to calculate for his own limbs when stretching from his quirk, so he just needed to do it in reverse for her. Not exactly fool-proof, but that's where his second concept would be needed to carry the rest of the weight of avoiding her attacks.
Michael began circling Emi, keeping a close eye on her gauntlets, ready to dodge, twist and weave out of the way of any other punches she'd deliver.
Notes & Tags: Emilia Hall | TLDR: Michael was struck by Emi's air punch. He stretched slightly and began circling her, watching her fists to dodge where it seemed she'd aim any punches.

Michael Faraday
A Symbol of Joy and Comfort
Michael chuckled at a fairly common question he got from people meeting him for the first time. He didn't really mind as it was kind of a perfect icebreaker. It got people comfortable asking questions and conversing with him so it was easier to build a relationship out of nothing. Despite it hiding his face, it allowed others to have him open up to them. "Kind of. It's all still my skin, but it does have enough of the properties and composition of latex that it could be classified that way." Michael pulled on his arm skin to show it wasn't just his face that had those rubbery attributes, just his head was the most obvious.
Michael lit up brightly to know the name of a new potential friend, especially one that he perceived as so caring and helpful. He chuckled lightly when she claimed that she didn't care. "No, I suppose you didn't tell me that." He laughed gently as if they were already old friends. But then she seemed to deduce that he was a student at UAU in the hero department.
If Michael was cheery and warm before, he was practically beaming like the sun when she asked if he was a hero student. While her comment was clearly meant to be derogatory, Michael just answered it with happy friendly vigor. "I'm definitely trying!" The confidence in his voice had been built up from years of pursuing this dream. "Most my classmates in high school felt I should be like a tv personality or gameshow host, but its scary out there for a lot of people. There are a lot of frightening things and situations in the world and so many think the only way to respond to that is to fight against that fear however they can. It's like this kitten." Michael stated looking back towards the dumpster the cat was hiding behind.
"They're lost, probably cold and hungry, they don't know what's going on or who to trust; they must be so scared... So maybe if I can lend them a hand and help how I can, I can make their life better and put them on track to be happy and safe. I want to do that for everybody. So I'm really glad that I look like a symbol of joy and comfort, that way everyone will know I'm here to help."
Michael didn't even notice the group of people approach until the umbrella was yanked from Yoko's hand. Michael tensed up in surprise from the deliberate act to drench Yoko in her own rain cloud. The group of young adults that had came over began laughing and speaking to Yoko. Michael watched unsure of what was going on since the tone didn't really match the feeling of what was happening. It wasn't until they had gone so far as to use their quirk to pull out Yoko's hero license that Michael finally understood that they were mocking Yoko. Michael expected the seemingly outspoken Yoko to clap back at them, after all, she had chided back at him for just calling her caring... This clearly was an uncomfortable moment for Yoko and Michael couldn't just stand by idly.
Michael swiftly stepped towards the group, snatching the laminated card from the lead bully. He had used his quirk to rubber band his hand so quickly that if they had blinked they would have missed it. "That doesn't belong to you." Michael said with all the gentle sternness of a guidance counselor. He didn't say anything further at the moment as he made his way back towards Yoko, snatching at her umbrella to position it back over her head as he stood in front of her to return her card.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko TLDR: Michael continued to be friendly with Yoko, expressing why he wanted to be a hero. When the bullies grabbed Yoko's umbrella and hero's license, Michael snatched them back to return to her.

Worth Two in the Trash
Michael winced out from the slight roadrash on his backside from the dive he took to catch the cat. It wasn't much a drop, even if he hadn't been rubbery, but it still stung a little. Enough to elicit a slightly exaggerated "Ow..." that led into nervous laughter. Michael still hugged the little cat to his chest as he opened his eyes (not that could be seen behind his balloon face) and saw the convenience store employee squatting down beside him. The cat looked startled and maybe malnourished but by all other appearances unharmed, it wasn't even struggling against Michael's soft pillowy hands that caged around it to protect from the fall.
"Cosplayer?" Michael asked in a slight daze, but when she clarified it kind of settled in. "Manga? Oh, you mean my face." He chuckled lightly at the misunderstanding. "No, this isn't a mask." He reached up and pinched on his latex about where his cheek would be and pulled it. Its very clearly rubbery stretch wasn't the best indicator of it being his real face but it was still gesture enough to answer the question in a friendly manner. "See? All me!"
Without the other hand covering it, the kitten hopped out from Michael's grasp and skittered for cover behind the store's dumpster. "Oh shoot, I wanted to get them to the shelter in case someone was missing them. Come back little kitty." Michael said as he tried to get up, wincing a bit from the sting along his back. Once standing, Michael looked back to the convenience shop girl and smiled, "My name's Michael. Thank you for your concern." Michael spoke with such bright and genuine friendliness it could be rather jarring, almost more so than his red balloon head. Even with his face fully covered, his body language and tone were vibrant enough to do the heavy lifting on expressions. He had caught onto her worry of him possibly hurting himself and had even got out some bandages. He could tell she was a good and caring person, despite looking like the personification a cartoon depression mascot. "I'm fine, but that was really nice of you to care."
Now standing, Michael loomed a good foot taller over the woman and from this angle it was all the more clear that his balloon head was truly attached to his neck all the way around, it was definitely some kind of bizarre quirk. Also now upright, it was more clear to notice the UAU gym clothing he was wearing as simple sweats. Considering how he was wearing basic school clothes out in public it seemed that his balloon head was a more permanent facet of his quirk.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko TLDR: Michael wasn't injured much from the fall but thanked Yoko for her concern as he introduced himself and got back to his feet to look for the kitten.

Chance Blown
As Michael's body limply flattened, he snapped through the relatively loose chains like a noodley rubber band. He had made it through. His plan somehow had worked, though now his cascaded down towards the ground like flaccid frog. Michael had never tried to go from overly full to deflated and then back to inflated again in such rapid succession, at least not successfully. The strain on his body wasn't quite as intense as the aerodynamics need to expel all that gas only to try to recover it back in a matter of seconds.
Still Michael knew exactly what part needed the air first in order to stick the landing. Forcing the air flow to fill his feet then legs and hips, Michael hit the ground running, charging straight towards the surprised Jun... only to collapse over himself and crash face first into the ground like a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man against a strong wind.
Michael remained sprawled out and still against the ground for a long moment, like an empty bag on the dirt. Slowly through the cramping, Michael let out a low "Ow..." sound as he began to breathe himself back to shape, still laid out limply. While his body was becoming more filled out with each breath, it still hurt to try to move anything. "Okay... I'm ready to call it now..."
Notes & Tags: junsuina | TLDR: Michael's plan worked, but he isn't strong enough to carry through after words and cramps up splayed out on the ground like a dying balloon.

Loftly Ideals
Michael felt almost embarrassed by Paragon's comment to him on his quirk's versatility. It was true that he did have a great deal of variety and creativity when it came to using his quirk, it still wasn't quite up to par when it came to applying it, most especially when it came to combat. He had been working on getting better, having gone so far as to join in sparring matches with his fellow students. This was actually how he had met Lodestar, or Emilia as he knew her. With talk of putting each other's lives in their hands, Michael hoped they wouldn't come across and conflict. He didn't want anyone to get hurt after all, good or "bad".
Michael still hadn't grown fully accustomed to his hero name, using it as the only placeholder he could think of and then not feeling quite worthy of the idea of a heroic title yet. He nearly corrected Masao to just call him Michael as they asked him a question, but Michael refrained as he needed to focus on the question at hand.
"We'll I can float with another person but not very high or fast yet...I can managed myself pretty decently but I can lift probably 250 lbs before its barely hovering off the ground." Michael wished he was stronger as being able to carry multiple people out like a dirigible would be exceptionally helpful. However it was the rest of the plan that troubled him.
"Is there a possibility of us being able to pull this off without hurting anyone? I know its just a simulation... but I really don't want anyone to get hurt." Michael voiced his concern. He understood that they had to treat this as a real mission, but that was all the more reason to approach this with hopes of a peaceful resolution.
"If stealth isn't an option and diversion seems most plausible, perhaps I could try drawing them away so that the two of you could use your strength to break the kidnapped from their confinements. This would at least limit the chances of harm..."
Michael was flexible about whatever needed to be done, but he had to try. He continued his reasoning with as much confidence as he could muster to accentuate its importance to him. "I'm not the fastest, but I do know to draw a crowd and avoid injury or capture. I can give you two the time you need to get in and get the others out."
Notes & Tags: Emilia Hall | Masao Ando | Kei Hada | Yanai Hebiru TLDR: Michael pitched his own idea in the hopes of causing the least amount of harm.

A Cat in the Hand
Michael tried to lure the kitten closer with few gentle coos as he slowly reached for her. He didn't want to startle the cat and cause it to panic and fall, so he tried to take this as cautiously as possible. Suddenly a voice broke his feline focused concentration. Thankfully the voice wasn't too abrupt or jarring allowing Michael to keep his grip on the branch as his head tilted to look towards the voice.
Standing under an isolated storm cloud was a decently short woman holding an umbrella in one hand to block against the rain and a cigarette in the other. Michael blinked heavily at the upside down sight, though his fully visible balloon face covered it up. Michael couldn't tell if it was the shading from the umbrella or even the cloud but there was a sadness over this woman, a darkness or sorrow. As Michael looked to her, her more casual tone shifted sternly to demand he get down.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I don't mean to trespass but I just-" Michael started to explain himself but the kitten started to move away from him further down the branch. However, the cat was not paying much attention to where it was stepping as it was mainly seeking to move away from the balloon person climbing towards it. After a few steps, the footing of the cat gave way as it misstepped and began falling from the tree. Michael tensed up in concern as the cat began to tumble through the air. Without hesitation, Michael jumped from the tree towards the kitchen. The moment he felt his fingers clasp around fur, he pulled them towards his chest and twisted sharply in the air so to land on his back.
He bounced a couple times on the pavement before skidding to a stop at the umbrella-wielding woman's feet. Michael let out a light groan from the impact, more from the pain of scraping along the ground rather than bouncing off it.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko TLDR: Michael acknowledged Yoko but had to dive to save the cat as it started to fall from the tree.

Stuck With You
Michael quickly began assessing the scenario. The sound of the buzzer would still be echoing through the sunken city if it wasn't for the people simulating panic, screaming and calling for help. Water still poured down from above to help set the scene of the disaster zone. Michael and Gen had been briefed namely on the mission parameters and the condition of their attachment for the exercise. They were bound together by less than 2 meters of metal wire connected to their handcuffs. One on Michael's right wrist and the other on Gen's left wrist.
The exercise itself would not be particularly easy, especially if Gen was as obstinate as he was during the meeting they had with Dr. Yanai Hebiru or, worse, as antagonistic as he was during the Armor Wars event. Michael just wanted to help Gen overcome their more villainous tendencies and not get expelled, but his linked accomplice seemed particularly stubborn and abrasive. Michael hoped that physically depending on Michael's cooperation, Gen would put aside his difficult demeanor and help to succeed at the task at hand.
There was a light tug on the cuff as Gen had already begun to wander slightly until the binds went taut to keep him near Michael. Michael knew that he could just deflate his arm and slip loose of the shackles, but firstly that wasn't the point of the exercise and secondly it was directly against the rules. If he freed himself it would only cause trouble for Gen as it would fail him immediately. Michael would have to endure for his sake. Michael didn't bring it up as he looked to Gen (more looked towards him as Michael's balloon head made it difficult to tell where he was actually looking).
"We need to start clearing the lower levels first before the water rises too high or the buildings collapse any further." Michael stated so they could work together towards the same goal. "Let's go."
Notes & Tags: Kurokami Gen | TLDR: Michael says they need to start clearing out the lower levels.

Flying Not So High
Michael was wrapped up pretty tightly in Jun's chains. He let out a deep gasp of air as the chains squeezed on his inflated body. Michael knew he was outmatched. The sheer versatility and command of Junsuina's quirk could not only counter anything Michael could manage, but she could then dish it out far greater. She was truly inspiring for the young balloon hero. His creativity and flexibility only carried him so far and to Michael's relief Jun actually stated her admiration of what skills he had managed so far, even if she over-estimated him as a challenge. Still her words were encouraging enough for him to try one more thing.
Michael gripped onto the chains and arched himself back as hard as he could. The pushing back against the snugness of the chains had them tighten that much more, but it allowed Michael just that little more tension. He didn't have much else he could think of but it was worth a shot. "I... I'm not done... just... yet..." Michael gritted out as he pushed himself harder against the chains. At first it seemed like he was futilely trying to break free, but even at full strength there was no chance of him pulling off a feat like that. However, that wasn't why he was straining against the chains.
Suddenly Michael let all of the gas that he had inflated himself with out at once, shrinking his bulk and trying to use that tension to snap him out of the coils of the chains before they could clasp around him again. It was a last ditch effort and he had no idea what to do to follow through, but if he managed to slip her binds, he'd make a mad dash towards Jun.
Notes & Tags: junsuina | TLDR: Michael strained against the chains to build a little tension so that when he released all the air from his body he could try to snap out of the bind before they clenched around his deflated body again.

Mr.Inflatable to the Rescue
Michael was out for a leisurely stroll around Tokyo. As a free day for school, he went to exercise as usual with a long jog away from campus. Michael did this as often as he could. It gave him an opportunity to familiarize himself with the wards and streets, to get to meet and interact with the civilians and strength his body and endurance. Michael loved the peaceful interactions he would make with all the people, helping them with small tasks and good deeds as he passed along. A number of children in the areas he went through had started calling him Mr. Balloon Head or even just Balloon Head in general. Even after he would tell them his name was Michael, Balloon Head just seemed to stick in their minds.
This was a troubling fact that Michael hadn't quite come to terms with. While he knew he wanted to be a pro hero, he didn't know what to call himself. Balloon Head seemed to be child-friendly and easy enough to discern as him... but it didn't inspire much feelings as a hero name. Names like Deep Float and Zeppelin had an opposite affect, feeling like they had dark connotations that almost seemed villainous. The closest Michael had found was Mr. Inflatable. It gave the idea of hero kind of name without coming across as too kiddie or intimidating, but it still didn't feel quite like a good fit... Perhaps it was just a matter of not feeling much like a hero yet, but whatever the reason, Michael didn't solidify it as his hero name, so he continued to just go by Michael.
After having pulled a group of kids' soccer ball out of a small creek, Michael continued on his way. The children shouted, "THANK YOU BALLOON HEAD!" as he jogged away. Michael just shook his head and chuckled softly. A few minutes of steady jogging Michael began to come back towards the more urban part of the area he was in. A mixture of apartment complexes and specialty shops were coming into view. Just as he was passing a little convenience store he heard some soft mewing crying out. Michael came to a stop and looked around trying to find the source of the sound.
Looking towards a decently short tree, Michael noticed that clinging tightly to a branch nearly 20 feet off the ground was a small tiger patterned kitten. The poor thing must have climbed up the tree and now was too scared to get down on its own. "Oh, hey little fella... did you get stuck in that tree? Don't worry. I'll get you down." Michael said softly and soothingly towards the kitten. Michael carefully went to the trunk of the tree and gingerly began to climb it. As the tree was on the skinnier side, Michael did his best to move slowly so not to shake the tree. It would have been easier to stretch or inflate himself to float up to the cat, but that would also be using his quirk without a license. So Michael made do as best he could by climbing up towards the cat cautiously so not to jostle the tree or startle the kitten.
Notes & Tags: Yanai Yoko TLDR: Michael went for a jog and found a cat stuck in a tree outside a convenience store. He began climbing the tree to try to get them down.

Rubber and Glue
Michael listened to the doctor's assessment. Michael was concerned by just how much of this might be his own fault in the matter. Michael wanted Gen to be a good hero, but at this point it felt like he was resisting just in spite of Michael's presence and contribution. Fortunately it seemed Hebiru had an idea that Michael hoped would be able to help them both become better heroes.
Michael understood the proposal after a moment of thought. Gen on the other hand seemed to get it not long after... What started as
approval for an opportunity to compete against Michael again quickly shifted as Gen finally understood the assignment. They would be in the exercise as a team. It made perfect sense. Finding balance and learning from each other's strengths while covering for their own weaknesses seemed like an apt way for the both of them to grow from the other's influence. If Gen wanted to succeed in this exercise he would need to compromise and work with Michael. And if Michael wanted to get through this he would need to be more flexible to Gen's position in such a challenge.
Michael understood just fine... but it still was a hard pill to swallow. Forced cooperation had its negatives too. Trusting if Gen would actually participate or having to active stand up against actions that Gen might try that Michael found reprehensible... This would be a difficult exercise, but possibly a needed one depending on what the two of them needed in order to be ready for the provisional license exam.
"She means for us to work together as a team." Michael clarified. "I'm willing to do all I can to make this work." This was possibly the only way Michael would be able to reach Gen and help him to be good and continue his pursuit to be a hero, so he'd give all he had in order to help him.
Notes & Tags: Kurokami Gen | Yanai Hebiru TLDR: Michael agrees to teaming up for the exercise in order to help Gen maybe become a better person and hero while also trying to learn from any of the good qualities Gen's style had. |

Michael Faraday
Flying Not So High
Michael was relieved to have just barely avoided full force the war hammer as it swung up at him. His gliding spread had lifted him enough that the hammer hit on his leg. It wasn't a clean strike so Michael's rubbery body did manage to take the brunt of it with little injury, but it did knock him off balance in the air. Forced into a heartline roll, Michael began to spiral sharply in the air.
To avoid catching the air and crashing, Michael deflated and pulled in his arms against his chest to ride out the spinning. All of the forward motion and twisting definitely slowed with each rotation. On the third or forth rotation, just as Michael's stomach began to churn from the rapid speed reduction, Michael suddenly inflated himself again. This time he didn't take on the design of a plane, but expanded his whole body and literally ballooned himself full of helium gas. The air resistance immediately forced his horizontal motion to a stop as the gas actually began to lift him away vertically.
However, all of this had prevented Michael from knowing what had become of the war hammer construct. Michael had only managed to stabilize himself in the air when a pair of chains latticed after him. Depending how they impacted him, they may very well just bop him away like a beach ball. Otherwise they may manage to coil around his inflated body, forcing air out of him as they entangled him.
Notes & Tags: junsuina | TLDR: The hammer hit Michael enough to force him into a barrel roll. Michael turned himself into a helium balloon in order to stabilize in the air making him a sitting duck for Jun's chains.
