A little here, a little there
[ACTION 1; NEAR CLINKERS -- FOR JOJI]
[This seemed like the right place all right. The nice thing is that he doesn't have to lie to Kaede anymore about where he's going, although she does fuss over him a bit now. He's still not sure what this is going to entail; he knows he's basically fighting against nature, or what amounts to it in regards to supers. But if he can just stretch things a few more years, that's all he can ask for. And maybe after that, stick with consulting? Who knows.
He wonders how he'll know who he's meeting. Then again, it's not like there's that many people around here.]
[ACTION 2; BACK AT OMEGABASE]
[Once THAT errand was taken care of, all that remained was the matter of meeting his new, er... student? Ward? He's not sure what you call it. Is he just trying to make sure the kid doesn't try to break open any more zoos? He wonders.
He also yawns. Hey, he's been running around today, give him a break.]

Right.
[He walks over to it, stretching his arms, and tilting his head from shoulder to shoulder to get the cricks out. He closes his eyes for a moment, and he begins to glow a noticeable blue color before he reaches over and picks up all the rebar with one hand.]
How's THAT?
[Sensor readings will be astronomical; Kotetsu has literally multiplied his inherent physical capabilities by a hundred.]
no subject
Not bad. You were saying such a power lasts for five minutes save for you?
no subject
I don't really know how many other people have something quite like it. But yeah, when I was younger it lasted for a full five minutes. But the length of time started getting shorter and shorter a couple years back, which is why I tried to retire for a while.
[He puts the rebar back down to make sure he's not still holding it when the power times out.]
Yeah, okay, a minute is enough in a pinch, but compared to the other guys, that means I'm pretty useless for most of the rest of the time, you know? It'd be nice to find a way to be more, uh, super again, even if just a little.
[As he speaks, the glow kicks out. Seems he wasn't kidding about the short time frame.]
no subject
I wouldn't call you useless since you do have a lifetime of skills to call upon. [ Joji took out a thin clear card from an inner pocket of his jacket and tapped on the mini-keyboard embedded on it. ] But I can understand that you need to be in the middle of battle instead of directing it, right?
no subject
Could be. Could just be burnout. Hard to say. All I know is that it's happening and I gotta deal. Still, with the kinda coo-coo crazy stuff that goes on around here, it's better to have some sorta gimmick than nothing. We can't all be that Batman guy we hear about.
Yeah! Yeah, that's it! I can't just stand by while people are in trouble! I gotta be in the middle of it!
no subject
[ the information he had entered was bringing up some interesting results on his little card key. Joji nodded to himself, noting the various levels and how to rig it up so Tiger can use some extra power. ]
It looks like this would be easy enough... with the right elements. It may take me a couple of weeks to gather everything together and build it. Does that bother you?
no subject
Well... okay, that's A gimmick. I meant like a gimmick power or... gah, you know what I mean!
[Blargh.]
Yeah, yeah that's fine. Been going this long without something like that, a little longer won't hurt. Just looking forward to whatever you manage to pen up.
no subject
[there might be a hint of a smile, just a hint like he was just teasing a little.]
Hopefully you will like it. I think it will also assemble itself so you won't need to spend time trying to get in and out of it.
