hugtopia | [ Video ]

[ Missed her pink face? Mina isn't wearing her hero suit this time, she is just wearing her normal clothes (if you can call them normal) and she is standing in her very normal room (hopefully no one is sensitive to bright colors). She pokes her own cheeks, leaning forward towards the communicator once the feed starts ]

Hi everyone, Mina Ashido here!! That sure was a month, I've got tons of chocolate! [ she rises her arms excitedly for few moments there, before she slowly puts them down ] The bears were... weird. I don't mind hugging people, I'd just rather not have someone push me into doing it. Still, I'd have loved keeping some of those bears if I could. [ she pouts a little ] They managed to run away all the time.

Anyway!, I've decided to start patrolling the city. I know we have the barrier and supposedly we are safe, but you never know. Plus, it's good training for me, even though my teachers aren't here and I don't have hero classes, I want to continue training and becoming better. So if you need me for anything, feel free to reach me! I can even help you carry your groceries, or cleaning the streets! [ she grins wide, clapping her hands after ] I also will be using the arena, i want to make my quirk stronger, can't stop now. So if you wanna train with me, lemme know!

[ and now, something less heroic - ] Oh oh oh!!! I thinking, all of us girls should also get together and have like a girl's night!! Do each other's hairs and tell each other about our cruches~ [ she squees a bit ] Let's do it, let's do it!! Who wants to come??

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ she gasps, almost dramatically ]

Then- Kyoko-chan! That means I'm first real girl friewnd in this place!! Someone you can talk about girl stuff with, someone you can share makeup tips, someone you can share your thoughts on your secret crush--

[ Mina looks touched] Kyoko-chan, thank you for letting me be that friend!

[ Even as she mentally crosses out that "secret crush" line, Kyoko can't help being a little flustered by all this excitement. She certainly doesn't merit all this enthusiasm, goodness! ]

N-no--I mean, I'm the one who's thankful! We've just met, and you're already this willing! It's amazing!

[ wait until Mina has "vibes" that Kyoko might like someone..........

ANYWAY!

Mina grins, placing her hands behind her head ] I like making friends and being with my friends. It makes days so much more fun, right?

Ah- should we go inside one of the shops and just ask if they know where to get make-up?

[ It is easier to wrap her head around if Mina is just like this all the time, to everyone. Kyoko nods, easily moving on to the more important topic at hand here. ]

That would be the way, right? Even if they don't know what we're talking about, maybe they can help us if we spread the gospel of makeup and educate them.

[ And there's a cute little clothing boutique just up ahead--surely a good target! ]

[ Mina laughs ] You think robots would use makeup? Can you imagine? [ oh Mina surely can and she finds it hilarious ] Now I really want to try it!! [ but first-

the boutique! ] Let's go- that shop seems promising! [ and Mina is heading right there. she will open the door with a big "HELLO" that echos through the store ]

[ What would robot makeup be like? Has she ever seen anything that might qualify? Maybe it's not something that would be noticeable to someone who isn't a robot.

But here they go! Into the boutique! Shiny robotic heads swivel around in surprise at Mina's big entrance, so Kyoko follows up a milder greeting. ]

Good afternoon! Actually, we just have a question about your products today!

[ That draws a clerk over to them, nodding eagerly. It's always a pleasure to help our saviors~! What can we do for your fashion needs today? ]

[ Mina rises her hands, excitedly ] We are looking for make-up! Something beautiful, but also that shows confidence, and beautiful bright colors-!

[ mina is, of course, assuming the robots even know what make-up is ] But- I'm also looking for something with leopard prints, actually. Maybe a cute top...? [ mina is still talking but she is getting distracted, looking at the clothes- they are so pretty, even without hot pinks and animal prints ]

[ There's a pause from the clerk, and then a polite pardon me, just one moment--and then a retreat, to confer with a couple other staff members for what feels like a very long moment. ]

Ah.... [ Kyoko wilts. ] Mina-chan, I don't think--

[ But oh, now they're being approached by the whole group. This "make-up"... we don't believe we have anything like that in stock, but we may be able come up with something for you! Could you tell us what you need in more detail? And please, what is this "leopard" you're looking for? ]

[ when a bunch of robots approaches them, Mina pauses, staring back at them. Did they... say something wrong? ]

Uh... how do you explain makeup...? [ she thinks for a moment ] I guess they are products that help us to change our appearance. Like different colors, on top of our eyelids, our lips... some makeup will make your eyelashes bigger! Oh and nailpolish - [ mina shows the robots her nails ] it colors the fingernails!!

[ mina comes closer to the robot smiling wide ] if you can make them, maybe we can show you how you apply them! [ she glances back at kykoko ] That would be fun, right Kyoko-chan??? [ these poor robots...... at least they are very polite about Mina's excitement ]

[ Hope is not lost after all! Kyoko nods eagerly along with Mina's explanation, trying to supply details their robot friends might not assume. ]

They're like--gels or powders usually, that kind of thing! In beautiful colors! --Oh, but they shouldn't be permanent, or damage the skin at all. It's the kind of beauty you can change from day to day!

[ One of the clerks appears to be taking notes on a tablet, while the others nod along with Mina--a little confused, but her excitement is contagious. That would certainly be fascinating! It may take some time to formulate such products, but any education you can provide would be appreciated! ]

[ at least Kyoko remembered to mention they aren't permanent. Mina probably wouldn't...

she nods quickly, excitedly watching the clerk typing on the tablet ] You can do bright colors, but something more natural like softer pastels. [ Mina prefers BRIGHT but just in case they decide to try something different, she'd like to have those available too ]

As for leopard prints... [ she didn't forget that! ] Let me draw it!! [ it's easier - the robots seem to be patient enough to give Mina a tablet with a drawing function, so she proceeds to draw zebra and tiger stripes, leopard dots, she even goes for giraffe and cow patterns. ] The colors can be anything bright! Try Black and purple, or orange and bright yellow, or green and red!!

You can use them on cute tops, or like even stockings and socks- Kyoko-chan, do you want any prints?

[ Kyoko watches with a bit of awe as Mina confers with the shop clerks; she really just boldly goes for the things she wants, huh? Amazing....

The question suddenly turned on her makes her start, but she quickly shakes her head, a bit sheepish. ]

Oh--no, no thank you! I'm good on clothes!

[ Or, well, she wasn't going to spend precious dora on a clothing commission when she could make it herself--especially when she didn't know how much these custom-made cosmetics were going to cost.

Meanwhile, there was some conferring among the robots, before they got Mina's attention again. Depending on how many articles of clothing in these special prints you need, we should be able to have them ready in a few days--if you would just provide your measurements, please? ]

[ Mina doesn't use her dora for anything else, really! What else would she want but bright colorful things to fill her house with? That's how she feels at home.

Mina claps her hands when the robots come back with a positive response ] Do you want to take my measurements now? [ she turns to kyoko once she is given a
measuring tape so Mina can take her measurements ] Can you help me, Kyoko-chan? [ she waves the tape at her friend, before she looks back at the robots ]

Oh! If I give you my hero suit, could you replicate it? [ Certainly, we can fix any clothing you need us to, and with that, she grins wider ] Nice!! I might want a couple of changes - more color, maybe. [ even more....... ]

Oh--yes!!

[ Luckily for everyone, Kyoko actually does more or less know how to take proper measurements for clothes, and accepts the tape measure obediently. She's here at your service, Mina-chan!! Hopefully Mina wanted this to happen right here and now, because Kyoko was already flitting around, rapidly stretching the tape from her shoulder to elbow, then shoulder to wrist, across her back, then looping around her waist, relaying numbers to the note-taking clerk all the while. ]

Ah, Mina-chan, lift your arms please?
