[A continuation of this thread!
Cutter arrives a little over ten minutes later rather than the promised quarter hour. He approaches the house cautiously, casting glances over his shoulders and to the side every couple of steps. Even though he knows that things are different in a big city he can't help but feel misplaced in a nice neighborhood like this with dark clothes and the equally dark hair that wouldn't stay out of his face.
For a split second he plays with the idea of finding a way to gel it up or maybe use some sort of clip to keep it out of his eyes before he shakes his head.]
Stalling like this is just silly...
[Giving himself a push he saunters over to what he hopes is the right fence and leans on it to wait for Shouto.]

[Cutter also didn't exactly introduce himself and they haven't really spoken that much. Unfortunately for him, he's Kirishima until he corrects Shouto.
He pads out of his house, throwing a light on, before nodding at his classmate.]
You got here faster than I expected.

I was trying not to make you wait. [It comes out before he can think better of it and change his words into something less caring-sounding like 'I had nothing better to do'. Shrugging at the bad feeling of his mess-up he shuffles his feet and steps a bit closer, hands jammed into his jacket's pockets.]
...I didn't think you'd be the type to have trouble in paradise.
[His brows are furrowed and his voice carries a hint of worry that also shines in his eyes.]

[Pros to being a senior: you're not required to take pretty much anything other than english. He can take two different science classes about animals. He never has to touch calculus ever again. The world is his damn oyster. Studying isn't actually too difficult, but Silver's pretty diligent about it anyway. ...It's pretty uncharacteristic of him, really; he's quick to skip school and sleep in classes, and is much more often found causing trouble than caring about school. Well, he has to pass somehow, and apparently that's going to be by nailing his finals perfectly.
Of course, there's only so long that he can diligently read up in the library; his laptop's already opened on something else entirely. He's switching between apartment hunting and, uh. Writing his name on the network in his notebook, apparently. He thinks he has the kanji for it figured out? He's not entirely sure.
Eventually, he looks up at Shouto.]
So if you became a superhero, what would you call yourself?

[Shouto is still a Junior and needs to pass. He's actually good at most of his classes and everything, but he's not about to let complacency take hold. He's not aiming for a college stint, but maybe the grades will be good for something. Who knows.
He's in the middle of working out calculus when the question hits.]
Does it have to be a secret identity?

It doesn't have to be, but it's probably not a bad idea. You won't have to worry about the government trying to control you or people trying to take revenge on your family.
...Or getting fined for property damage.
[Why don't comics ever address that part?]

Do you think there's hero insurance? It'd be dumb not to when there's so much property damage.
[There's a moment or two as he considers it.]
Depends on the kind of hero. Some of them work with the government. [And he would sell his father to anybody for one (1) corn chip.]
... Shouto.

Think about a hero here. I don't think the government would-

Why your name?

Why your name?
I like my name too, but I wouldn't go around calling myself Silver unless I learned how to manipulate metal.
[Or something like that. That actually sounds kind of cool...]
[Or something like that. That actually sounds kind of cool...]
Then go for something a little less direct. Frostbite, Freezer Burn, Icyhot...
Maybe not in the icy or hot department, but it isn't your name.
[...Speaking of icy and hot, that gives him an idea, and he starts doodling in his notebook again.]

[You know the cute little fire enemies in maria? Silver's trying to draw one of them, but half ice and half fire instead of a fire friend. One side fiery, one side jagged and icy.]
You're gonna need some symbolic thing to wear on your costume, right?
[...Maybe this is cutting it close. He'll erase the eyes and hope the fire ice ball still looks at least vaguely like that. ...Color would probably help.]

Captain Might has his stupid hair.
[...Well, it's true. He doesn't seem too bothered at it being called cute, though. In fact-]
You could use some cute to soften your image. Have you seen your face?
[Said the guy that also makes two expressions.]

Of course I have. I'm speaking from experience here.
[...It looks like he's toying with sketching some stupid outfit now.]
I'd cover as much up as possible if I were a hero, so I don't have to worry about something like that.

[...Man, is this what it looks like when he tunes the hell out? He stares at Shouto for a moment to try to catch up, and-]
...Maybe you really do have a fire and ice theme going.
[One icy white side and one fiery red side, right? Maybe he's going to need to tweak his sketch here.]
Are you okay?

Half and half hair is a stupid look. Whatever scar I have, it's on the left side of my face, with the red hair. The right's all white.
[Wait don't people get things like that back. What if he gets the hair and his mom starts wondering when he started to rebel?]
... I'm fine. Bracing myself for some weird changes.

...If you get the half and half hair back and aren't feeling it, I can help you dye it.
[At least his hair... Probably isn't weird? He takes some of his hair out of his face to look at it for a moment- it's definitely way brighter of a red, but at the same time, it's... Probably just hair dye? Maybe? Why stick with red, then?]
It's strange, isn't it? Getting the hallucinomemories is one thing, but...
[It's kind of like changing into someone else.]
