In Mustafu, most buildings were fully operative with tenants full to the brim with each one looking more friendly than the last. However, that was the last thing his eyes were looking for. The green glasses that normally rested on his forehead were now showing him the whole of Mustafu, more specifically the schematics of the city. While he knew he wouldn't spend much time there considering his number of places in other cities across the world, he knew he had to have his own spot to at least get some shut eye in.

"And of course, I don't want to give some of these guys a single yen." He looked from the top of the building he was on, one peak of Mustafu that overlooked the entire city. On entering the city, he opened one pod he kept on him at all times and got his laptop before he easily bypassed the Mustafu Police's security for their comms and knew that his entrance had gone pretty much unnoticed by the populace, the police hearing some calls and just saying it was probably the hero 'Air Jet' on patrol.

"And of course, Air Jet coincidentally found himself in the area and people spotted him, so that story checks out." He was still an Otaku at heart, memorizing every heroes' patrol route, their quirks, their mannerisms, their potential, the ways they could do better, how they fight, how they operate.

"Some things change and others stay the same I guess." His glasses finally picked something up on the schematics, a building pretty far away from the main traffic of the city that heroes walked on, a building that belonged to a deed that expired because of the owner's wishes for the deed to pass on to his son when she passed away but the son leaving the country behind along with a mass exodus of the family. Although the son had ownership of the deed, he had no plans to ever go back to Japan.

"And that works for me! Alright, let's see if I can get down without being seen." He tied his hair a bit, the green highlights making the blue stand out even more while the hair flowed down from the mid-hanging ponytail. He looked down at the busy streets of Mustafu and saw the main train station with plenty of traffic around it, knowing for sure that if he were to use his Extreme Gear or Air Boost from at the top, he would definitely be seen by traffic cameras. After all, someone jumping off a building would always be noticeable even if he were to speed away fast.

"If I run down though, they'll see nothing. I just need to make it into an alley, I already planned on skateboarding there anyway, wanted to do a whole tour of the city." He looked down with a smile at the ground before a simple motion of his legs, one twitch and he was already halfway down the building, the air trying to stop his movement but being pushed apart by his very existence. In the next moment, he was on the ground in an alleyway beneath the building before he ducked behind a dumpster and pulled back into view in a second, now with a change of fresh clothes and his orange headphones on. He was now wearing a black t-shirt with a unique design featuring clashing blue and green colors. The customization extended to his black sweatpants, with a blue pocket on one side and a yellow pocket on the other. His shoes were also painted over, with the left sneaker sporting a mix of black and blue, and the right sneaker black and yellow. He also pulled on a small black cloth mask over his mouth and nose to avoid being clocked by anyone who had an inkling about his facial features and put his glasses on to mask his irises colors.

"I don't know what I was thinking wearing T-shirts with the word 'T-shirt' on them. Talk about poor fashion design." He laughed at himself again before pulling out another pod and a small blast of smoke coming out to reveal his skateboard, one of classic design that had a neon green design of two animals on the underside of his deck, drawings of a hedgehog and a fox both smiling, the fox having the hedgehog on its back. His mind went to the two again, a small tear hanging from his eyes before he wiped it away. "Still need to get over this crying stuff, if there's anything I inherited from her that I want to take back it's certainly that." He just shook his head with a thought of his mother on his mind before he looked at the schematics of the city again through his glasses and switched his route, the route now going around the other side of town that would cut through an apartment complex and also cut through UA.
