Tomka found himself taken aback by Steven's response. And people said [i]he[/i] was outgoing and friendly! This Steven fellow was that and more. Tom couldn't help but be impressed with his attitude. And the way he spoke, too - it could be described as "high and mighty", but Tom didn't get the sense he was at any point being talked down to. That couldn't be an easy balance to strike, yet it seemed to come completely naturally to him. Or maybe he just practiced public speaking? [color=#ffff00][i]Innate or practiced, it's a good skill for a hero to have.[/i][/color]

Steven then put his attention on Dawn, drawing Tomka's attention to her as well. He mentioned her having a sharp wit and making "cutting remarks", making Tom a bit nervous, though he did his best to hide it behind a smile. She was probably the sassy, sarcastic type, he guessed. Sure enough, the first words out of her mouth around him involved a threat and name-calling. [color=#ffff00][i]...Well, at least she's funny. That could be good for our morale...right?[/i][/color]

[color=#ffff00]"Actually, I'm more about tearing down walls, generally speaking,"[/color] Tomka said in answer to Dawn's question. He reached behind his back with his right hand and unhooked one of the large drills hanging from his belt, holding the perpendicular grip on it's underside so that it pointed parallel with his arm. [color=#ffff00]"I call myself the Excavation Hero, Mr. Driller."[/color]

He demonstrated by spinning his hand using his wrist joint as the axis, spinning the drill along with it while I high-pitched whirring - somewhat like a power tool but a little more wet-sounding - filled the air. After a few seconds, he stopped the rotation, finished his demonstration. His free hand immediately found one of the bottles of skin moisturizer holstered on his left hip, and began applying some to the line separating his right hand from his forearm. [color=#ffff00]"It's not just my hands, though - my qurik, Rotation, allows me to rotate any part of my body using my joints as axes. See all these lines across my body?"[/color]

He lifted his chin, helping them see the ones running down his neck, then raised his arms to make the ones going down his torso easier to see, then finally pulled up the left pantleg of his shorts a little to show off the ones on his knee and ankle. [color=#ffff00]"Each one aligns with a joint, so basically any part of my body can be rotated. This makes me pretty decent in close combat, since I can hit from weird angles and twist around to avoid getting hit myself. And with my drills, I can get through a lot of more defensive quirks, and even tunnel underground for surprise attacks. But if I'm not careful, the friction of my segments rubbing against each other when they spin can make me chafe, or even bleed if it gets really bad, so I need to take some time every so often to moisturize. I [i]might[/i] need you guys to cover for me if that happens."[/color]

Tomka smiled at both of them, feeling confident he covered everything either would need to know about his quirk and skill set. [color=#ffff00]"So, any ideas on how we can use our skills together? If not, I was thinking I could keep our enemies' attention, maybe with the help of some tigers?"[/color] He looked to Dawn to guage her reaction, and in case she objected to it. [color=#ffff00]"And that way our, uh..."bondage hero", eheh-- can focus on chaining them up while they're distracted, scoring us a quick win?"[/color]
