[Hey, it's this guy, rocking it selfie style as he leans against a handy wall.]

Hey everyone! I'm Morgan, and I've been studying martial arts for a while now. I know a lot of us showed up here without any of the magic or powers we had back home, some people never had any, and some aren't used to protecting themselves the way the quests and general area around here expects. So for people who'd like, I'm offering to teach.

'Course martial arts also offers confidence, good health, discipline, and a side of acupressure massage technique if that's a selling point. And if you already know some I'm happy to work with you to improve them more, and maybe my own too at that rate.

Open invitation, and no hurry. Just drop me a line here if you'd like.

[Peace sign right before he ends the message.]

Oh, that works just fine by me. Sleep is important, after all!

[Even though back home he could skip sleep, he never did if he could help it. It's just -- nice. Pleasant, refreshing, and really helped delineate the days.]

A little more exertion than a jog, but not too much.

Mm, it's a bit hard sometimes, balancing everything with what I had to do back home, s-so...thank you for understanding.

[Maintaining her martial arts, staying fit, her Work Study with Ryukyu-san sometimes, her actual studies back at UA...it's a lot, and Ochako's not exactly a top student. She is pretty average by most standards, excelling in one or two topics (math and science) and being either terrible or just mediocre at others...like history and language.]

I sometimes work out!! It really depends on the time I have most days, but considering I don't have hero work, or classes to attend, my schedule should be more open... If you have anything set in stone, let me know, and I can try to accommodate you!!

[morganknight]

I intend to spoil that 'sometimes' part. I follow the philosophy that building up your body is as important as building up your skill. [Surprisingly, not often a core tenet of martial arts!] But I promise you'll have time to live a life here, too! After all, if everything is martial arts, I'd be doing you a major disservice by focusing you on the fighty parts too much.

[Ochako laughs, loudly this time, and just beams. Okay, yeah, she's already really liking Morgan a lot - he's definitely on her wavelength about a lot of things, and seems very much like her old master. Much nicer and down to earth than he appears. Gunhead was like that too, and it was actually kind of cute...]

Haha, I appreciate that!! I have a few of my friends here, quite a few actually, and I'd still like to hang out with and make sure they're settling in also. I know a few of them will have it harder than others, so just call me sometime and we can plan to meet, yeah? Ehehe, I'm pretty open now, so maybe two days a week to start out?

[morganknight]

Works for me. Gotta let you have time to just live. Besides, once I get into your head how literally everything is martial arts, you'll be training all the time just by living, so advantage: martial arts!

[Especially given that she has friends here. That's darn lucky, something he would have envied before he got smart about things.]

And if I can help you or your friends out, let me know, okay?

[floatsaway]

[Oh gosh, he sounds a lot like some of her teachers back at UA, haha! The energy and passion for his topic sort of reminds Ochako a bit of Present Mic, but far more subdued (because no one can be as extra as Present Mic). It's actually kind of cute, and makes her smile at the fond memory of her teacher. Fond, but a little bittersweet as well. Man, she misses them.

Ochako laughs again, nodding her head furiously. She's not sure if Izuku or Bakugou would come - maybe...though they sort of have their own weird styles of fighting - but she'll still tell them about it. Same with the girls, too, of course.]

Of course I will!! Once we're all settled in, maybe I can get them to come along sometime.

[morganknight]

[Energy and passion sort of come with literally living it, both in being raised to it literally as long as he can remember and believing in it so strongly he could literally reshape reality, back when he had his own power instead of Avalon-offered kinesis.]

I'll do my best to live up to their standards of approval. [Because if he's any guess, they'll have high ones.]
