Tanegashima Wakako

Sapporo, Japan
Ishin Academy. April 7th

Wakako listened patiently as Kana spoke. As expected, she seemed reluctant to speak plainly. She had already heard about how she was from Aomori, but there was something about Goshogawara that made it sound all the more familiar. She could have sworn her mother mentioned something about that place once. Goshogawara wasn't exactly a large and important city, so the only reason she would expect to hear about it was in relation to something else. Knowing her mother, it had to be something work related, so it was probably something about a colleague, or an intern, or maybe even a villain. She just couldn't place it yet, however.

"Hmm? Oh yeah, crowded. Sure, let's head on in..." Wakako could fully understand the desire not to stand around in the judgmental gazes of others. Or stand around in judgmental earshot of them. Even as he sat there, doing nothing much at all, poor Osamu had something thrown at the back of his neck. Then there was that German girl that kept staring at her. It was so awkward, and she still wasn't entirely sure why.

Given Kana didn't wish to speak until they were inside, Wakako simply trudged on into the building, and headed up to the second floor, and scouted out the room that was to belong to her and Kana. She opened the door and took in the sight. While it may have been nothing much to anyone else, this was almost nostalgic for Wakako. The five years she had spent on her mother's boat had been in exceedingly spartan conditions. Sanae Tanegashima was a big believer in minimalism. Even though it really looked nothing like it, the mere fact that this was a room with decent decor was enough to remind her of home. 

"Nice and cozy, huh?" Wakako said to Kana, stepping inside properly and setting down Kana's bag. "This good enough for you? Or are you used to better?" It was more than enough for Wakako, but she had no idea what Kana was used to. For all she knew, she was used to living on a cloud of luxury, or maybe she lived in a tent. Given her meager build, she couldn't say for sure she wasn't actually quite poor.

"No worries!" Wakako said as she reached down, took Kana's bag and hefted it over her shoulder. Like she said, it wasn't very heavy, so it was little burden on her. More noteworthy was the fact that Kana seemed to take a while to answer. Seemed like she was lost in her own head for a moment or something. Maybe she was just thinking things over.

As they continued on their way towards the dormitories, Wakako figured she would need to keep up conversation. "Alright, so, uh....let's break the ice. The metaphorical ice that is, haha..." Just a little joke. She doubted Kana would actually think she was suggesting they go to town on all this snow and ice around them.

"So, uh...I was born in Tomakomai. It's a major port city in Iburi prefecture, it's to the south of Sapporo. But I had been living on my mother's boat for the last five years. That's Tanegashima Sanae, as you might have guessed. The one, the only, the Warship hero, mistress of the waves, all that." She had a lot of different colorful monikers, not that she cared for most of them. Wakako always thought "The Smug Sailor" fit her best. She could never forget that blasted smug smile. She would have been more hesitant to up and admit to her parentage, but there was little point dancing around the issue with someone she was going be spending a lot of time with, both today and over the course of the whole year. 

"Got her quirk too. Guess I should show you..." Wakako stopped for a moment and exposed her midriff. From within the center of it, the cannon barrel suddenly shot forth, making a sharp metal sound. Fortunately she wasn't pointing it at Kana, because it could definitely smack her rather hard if she standing there when it extended. "I'd show you how it fires, but that would be a really bad idea, as you probably know..." Not only was there the possibility for damage to the school, but there were all those rules about using your quirk in public. She wasn't so sure how much freedom they got a hero school. Regardless, the barrel would disappear back inside its recess, and Wakako would cover her midriff again.

"So yeah, uh...how about you?" She wanted to give Kana the chance to talk about herself, although she didn't want to pressure her either. On one hand, she'd think it rude to just talk about herself the whole time, but on the other, Kana didn't seem terribly keen to talk. Wakako didn't blame her either. If she wasn't forcing herself to engage, she might have taken a backseat herself. Although that would probably result in an awkward silence between the two of them, all things considered.
