Considering the fact that trees still had green leaves in February nowadays, Toru was pretty sure it was going to be the ice age quirk.
Man. The apocalypse really messed up the weather. Or is Japan just like that?

"I'm not really a support student yet, I just got accepted in a bit early. And even if I was I don't know anything that would help make Toru some decent threads. I specialize in programming and computer science, not-"

That was about all Toji managed to get out before Mei pounced on him a second with with a gleeful shriek, the words 'computer science' all it took to send the mechanic into a blood frenzy.
I am sorry Toji, you got another one. (I wonder how long it will take before the gacha gives you a mutation that seems similar to hers.)

"Sorry, but even the great Mei Hatsume has her limits! Every time I try using soap my skin feels like it's two sizes too small and made out of dried wood. Be glad I even did this much to go along with this talent meet-up!"
"The Grease is moisturizing you see!"

Damn, as far as Toru was concerned this was basically a perfect end to how the day could've gone. Toji got her a pair of pants, she got some free food, and she got to eat dinner with a cute musky girl. Honestly, what more could she ask for?

"Sure, that sounds good for me as well. We can talk it over after you're done getting Toru's measurements for her costume. That's probably not something I should be in the area for."

Toru's life was fucking awesome.
Ah, Mei I am afraid Toru is planning to induct you into the polycule. There is no escape.

It's not supposed to be like that IRL, but the entrance exam canonically takes place in February (I think specifically the 26th?) and that entire chunk of the manga is drawn like it's mid-late spring so I guess Japan's weather is Evangelion-tier now.

Chaos, does it technically make him support support student?
He can technically work on his own projects since his power works on hardware as well (not nearly as broad as the software side of things, but be can still at least build some things) but also yeah, he's the support's support student. Aka, industry connections go brrrrrrrrrrr.

Cant wair for Toji to build some kind of hyperefficient computer out of his personal laptop when he starts getting into performance problem and not telling anyone he made a near quamtum computer of his laptop because it was loading google 0.1s to slow.
 
The new power isn't that great anything can happen to the Jars while Toji is out or vice versa his body drops dead then take a while to regenerate from his stored organs

But I guess better then the Boys stupid powers
I mean, anything that lets a Toji get clipped by a point blank hollow purple and walk it off is pretty good. Sure, he's only walking it off because he's telekinetically dragging his crippled cicada shell of a body back home, but it's still a better fate than just dropping dead. As long as Toji doesn't get turned into a pair of smoking shoes on the pavement or isn't away from his organs for 48 hours he should be good. Probably.

It seems pretty useful. So long as he's at least moderately careful about where he stores his organs he can't be crippled and the only way for him to die is if someone specifically plots to kill him. Since it specifies he's telekinetically puppeting his body, destroying the bone jar is the only way to kill him, and he can grow a new body from the jar, it probably has a secondary benefit that he doesn't need to eat, drink, or breath while he has it active. He probably needs his stomach inside him if he's planning on eating anything though...
 
Can Toji use his other quirks/ superpowers from the cicada shell? Cna he also use them from the jar? I can imagine the jar releasing sleep gas and such, but can both the shell and jar do so? With abilities stacking like this it really comes into question.
 
Love that he's going to be a Support Student, but honestly can't think of a ton of stuff that would require his specific focus.
The new quirk also allows him to work on incredibly unstable/radioactive/otherwise hazardous equipment while retaining the deft touch of human fingers.
 
Need to introduce the stinky scientist to moisturizer?
Mei may find herself doing her best networking through remote options otherwise!
She is probably using industrial soap you know the stuff made to rub machinery grease away from anything and has that grit in it so its basically liquid sandpaper along with her showering so few times her body is under greasing the skin from her pores
 
"Cute musky girl" ummmm alright Toru. You're kinda a freak but you go, girl! Get that ass.
Shout out to that one girl in MHA Vigilantes that stole a cloth covered in another girl's vomit so she could suck the stomach juices out of the soggy towel with her mouth like a plecostamus catfish just because she thought the other girl was kinda cute. Canon MHA gooners are on a whole other level.

Was that the girl who had that broodmother tumor-wasp burrow into her eye to bodyjack her, or was it an actual human?

I'm pretty sure she's just a random woman that spiked some drinks with trigger at a party because she was mad guys kept stealing her waifu's attention. It was something goofy along those lines.
 
Skinless Statue New
Not many people knew it about Nemuri, but she was actually quite the morning person. She would even go as far as to say that if she wasn't awake before the sun was up, then she could consider her entire morning wasted. It wasn't really something she shared during those parasocial 'tell us about yourself' interviews over the years since it kind of spit and danced on her entire brand, but it was true.

It was one of the many (and she meant many) differences between her and Snowie that she had picked up on since she had first brought him home. While she thought it was a waste of daylight to sleep in, her son seemed to think the only thing sunlight was good for was sleeping in front of.

Between that and him eating his own weight in food every day without managing to gain any weight (or any visible weight) she was positive one hell of a growth spurt was waiting just around the corner for her kid.

Going by the fact that they were already around the same height, she was sure her snowball kitten would be an avalanche tiger by the end of next year.

Now, Nemuri didn't want to be one of those moms that wished their kid was a little mini-me, but she had to admit that it would've been nice to have Snowball wake up and spend some time with her before she had to wrangle teens for seven hours straight.

Working away at the stove with a light hum, Nemuri watched the dark orange sun slowly rise above the soft pink clouds in the distance and took a moment to just appreciate the fact that the only things she could find herself wanting for were silly little things like that. Maybe she was just riding the combo-chain thrill of her son getting a scholarship and a new friend back to back, but she really did feel like she was starting to get a firm hold of things for Toji.

Between the soft whirl of the fan above the stove and the sizzling butter in the pans in front of her, Nemuri almost failed to catch Snowie making a rare early-morning appearance as he shuffled into the kitchen from down the hall, looking unusually awake as he hovered in the entrance to the kitchen, seemingly unsure about interrupting her as she got started for the day.

"Morning, Snowie! I didn't wake you up, did I? You usually sleep like a rock, so I might've gotten back into the habit of whistling while I cook…"

Shaking his head at her slightly in response, Toji slowly walked into the kitchen while pawing at his chest with a soft frown.

"Nah, I didn't even realize you were steamboat Willy posting IRL. I kinda just woke myself up…"

No matter how often her son tried to convince her otherwise, she was still fully convinced all the 'slang' he belted out at her was just him trying to make fun of her… less than perfect grasp on English. Seeing it written down? Fine. Hearing her son slur a sentence out at 5AM? A bit less than fine.

She wasn't sure where exactly Snowie was from (he would insist he was from 'around' and give a new spot he grew up every time) but his English was thick enough that she could tell he had one heck of an accent on the down low. But more importantly-

"Aww. Are you feeling alright, kiddo? Get hit by some old memories that wanted to pretend they were still fresh? I've been down that dirt road myself a few times over the years. We can talk about it in the living room while eating breakfast, if you want."

Slowly shaking his head back and forth at the offer, Toji looked back down the hallway towards his bedroom with a weary glare before turning back towards her with a small frown.

"Nah, I didn't wake up from anything like that. And uhh… I kinda have to pass on the breakfast offer. I kind of can't eat anything at the moment. It's kind of tied into why I woke myself up."

Pulling the pans off the electric burners and turning them off with a flick of her wrist, Nemuri was quick to strut across the kitchen towards her son so she could fuss over him as he continued to hover near the far corner of the room.

"What's the matter, Snowie? Is your stomach giving you issues? There's some medicine in the bathroom cabinet you can take, if you think it'll help."

Hmm. His forehead didn't feel overtly warm as she pressed the back of her hand against it, and his complexion was still as vibrantly blank as ever, so if Toji was having problems with his gut they were probably internal only.

Wriggling out of her grip with a huff of exasperation at her, Toji looked back towards his room with a nervous glance before staring back at her with an expression of forced-neutrality that looked incredibly jarring on his usually placid face.

"I'm not sick, I'm just… shit, I really don't know how to say this without defaulting to vagueposting. Ok, so I got a new quirk. I can at least start there."

Nemuri was quick to grab onto her kid and try inspecting him a second time at that, as if her staring at him wide-eyed hard enough would suddenly make his newest quirk show itself.

"Really? That's great! What did you manage to awaken this time? I assume it's food related since you keep rubbing your belly and mentioned not being able to eat earlier. Did you get some sort of low metabolism quirk?"

Jeez, she couldn't think of a worse quirk for her glutton of a son to get besides that. Snowie must've had the same thought as her about how much of a nightmare that quirk would've been, because he was quick to let out a nervous titter of a laugh as he took another step away from her and back towards the hall.

"… Kinda? I don't really need to eat while it's active, and I got a feeling that the regeneration keeps me from having to worry about stuff like food or breathing, but- shit, I'm getting ahead of myself. You know Egyptian mummies?"

Uhh… does she what? She guessed she knew a few things about them, yeah. If anything that's probably one of the few things her and the kiddo have an equal amount of knowledge in, considering how much heritage and history got obliterated by villains before the vigilante era could stop them from stealing entire dig sites and museums away.

"Besides the fact that they got robbed a lot and turned into brown paint? Not a whole lot. I can tell you a few facts about how many paintings Martin Drolling probably painted with them, but not much else. Why, is your new quirk mummy themed?"

It only took her maybe a second of imagining what he would look like with all four of his quirks on full blast before she realized that her goose might've been cooked. And since she had a honker, it was a slow roast.

Between her kid's creepy glowing eyes that made you feel like your quirk was getting tugged like a lawnmower chain and Somnambulist, her kid looked like a big albino mini-them fusion between her and Shota. Dear lord, everyone was going to think he was their after-school project by the time they met him... even Shota!

… Dammit, wait a moment. She already told Shota that she was adopting a kid. He'd know Toji wasn't her bio-brat before they even met. Welp, there goes the best prank idea of all time.

"Yeah, I'd say it's pretty damn mummy themed. So this is going to sound kind of stupid, but I'm the quirk. Kind of." She wouldn't really say that sounds stupid, but that was mostly because she didn't even know what that was supposed to mean.

"You're the quirk? Do you mean you woke up with a projection based quirk, or do you mean you got a heteromorphic quirk that isn't external?"

She wasn't really sure why her kid was acting like this new quirk was some sort of horror show. Neither one of those things were exactly out there, but she supposed she could understand being weirded out from going through a literal out-of-body experience for the first time.

"I mean I'm a… you know what, how about I just show you? Just… don't touch me when you see me, alright? I'm kind of worried even being this far away from myself, let alone other people poking away at me."

Behold, the least paranoid projection user. Pfft, no wonder her brat was acting so spooked in his own home. She's pretty sure the only quirk user more anal than a projection quirk a mile away from their own body would be a sentient quirk a mile away from it's person.

"Don't worry kiddo, I promise I won't shake you out of your chakra meditation or whatever your actual body is currently up to. Lead the way, Snowball."

Following after her kid as he silently led her to his bedroom at the far end of the hall, Nemuri watched as he paused in front of his door for a brief moment to glance back towards her before he slowly pushed open his bedroom door and stepped inside the inky black room, the light from the winter dawn not yet strong enough to break through his blackout curtains.

Reaching up to the light switch by the door, it only took Nemuri one flick of a switch to let out an involuntary shriek, and it wasn't because she had a shit electrician.

"Holy fu-! … Pfffft, Hahaha! Oh my Lord, Toji! I was expecting you sitting cross-legged on your bed or maybe laying on it as if you were literally projecting. What is this? Some sort of totem? It looks… Artistic. Very artistic!"

And she did truly mean that, as backhanded as the compliment might have felt in her mouth as she choked on her own manic-tinged laughter at the sight of a bone-white sculpture looming over the foot of Toji's bed.

If someone were to ask Nemuri to describe what she was staring at in two words, her first choice would still be 'Holy fuck', but if she could request a mulligan her actual two words would be 'unfinished masterpiece'.

Staring down at the wide circular base of the sculpture that now dominated the space in Toji's room, Nemuri slowly looked up and watched as what was once nothing but smooth white stone slowly grew and morphed from the chest-up into a seamless carving of an androgynous figure with it's head slightly turned downwards as if locked in deep thought, it's flowing stone hair hung behind it's ears and flowed down both shoulders.

Despite screaming at first sight of the thing, and just how minimalist a majority of the base and lower half appeared to be, 'unfinished masterpiece' was still underselling just how beautiful it truly was.

Looking closer at the featureless face that stared away from the viewer and towards the floor in disinterest, her eyes traced every sculpted muscle and tendon that even a master artisan would have skipped out on and found herself unable to find a single detail missing on this effigy of her son.

And it was an effigy of her son, that much she could tell even through the lack of direct facial features carved onto the face. The head shape and the long flowing hair that tumbled down it's back and shoulders were already recognizable enough on their own, and that wasn't even getting into how both it and her son shared the same exact skin tone and hair color.

Nemuri also didn't need to be an art teacher to see why Toji said this new quirk was mummy themed. The entire thing from looked like a strange fusion between a funeral urn and an Egyptian tomb effigy, with even Snowie's flowing hair almost managing to look like a pharaoh's nemes headdress.

"So I get why you said you were the quirk now, but I still don't really get what you meant by not having to eat or the… regeneration, was it? I don't really see the total connection here. Is this some sort of totem that gives you enhanced healing? I think I've interacted with a few heroes that had quirks similar to that sort of thing."

Except all of those quirks were usually either barely noticeable, drained stamina in exchange for a boost somewhere else, and almost always worked on everyone that got caught in the radius. She was picking up absolutely nadda from Snowie's newest quirk, so she doubted that was actually it either.

Raising her hand to brush it along the chest of the effigy resting in front of herself, Nemuri was shocked to feel just how warm the sculpture beneath her hands was. Instead of the feeling of cool marble that she had been expecting, she was instead greeted with a warm thrum of heat emanating from the surprisingly rough surface of what had appeared to be smoother than glass marble.

Dragging her hand across the chest of the strange sculpture right in front of her, it wasn't until her palm rested right above the center of it's chest that she managed to feel it.

Bmb~Bmb~Bmb~Bmb~Bmb~

… Oh.
When Toji said he was the quirk while standing in the kitchen, he wasn't being metaphorical. Slowly pulling her hand away from the living effigy right in front of her, Nemuri turned to stare at her son as he hovered about a foot away from her and the statue.

"Snowie, I know you get information about your own quirks as soon as you get them. Mind explaining what exactly your quirk is to your dear mom before she drops dead from a heart attack?"

While this wasn't nearly the creepiest or most startling quirk she had ever personally interacted with, it was still one heck of a mind screw to find out your kid turned himself into a bone jar at the crack of dawn. Honestly, living with Toji was starting to make her realize why the dawn of quirks obliterated society for a straight century. She had a full life's experience handling quirks and medical services and she still felt like she was on the verge of going insane by how many curve balls his random quirk awakenings kept tossing at her.

"I'm calling the quirk Canopic Jar. It basically lets me collect all my bits, bobs, and jiblets into a jar that's made out of bone and sinew and uh… control my leftovers like a puppet? I'm not really sure how to describe how this even feels… besides weird, I mean. I also get some super regeneration for a bit after I re-merge with myself."

Right, that at least finally explained what he meant when he said he was the quirk back in the kitchen. Silly her, assuming her son was just referring to something normal like her son being an astral projecting guru instead of a sapient vase made out of flesh, blood, and bone.

"So just to be clear, you aren't in any danger from splitting your own body in half and hollowing yourself out? Actually, nevermind. Me saying that out loud just made me realize how insane that question is. Just… just go put some street clothes on, we're going to the hospital. Again."

Here's hoping she can fast-track an appointment with that quirk specialist at Jaku General. She knows neither she nor Toji were keen on the idea the last time it was floated as an option, but that was before she got the once in a lifetime experience of feeling her son's heartbeat stuck inside a statue made out of his own bones at the ass crack of dawn.

"Should I reabsorb my organs before we go to the hospital? I feel like showing up to a hospital with no organs would kind of piss a hospital off." Nemuri couldn't help but laugh at that dumb comment from her brat of a son. It's nice to know that even if her kid was now an old world movie monster, he was still just her goofy brat of a son.

"Pfft, I'm pretty sure the hospital staff would have a few emotions besides anger win out if someone walked in missing all their major organs… but also yes, please for the love of God put your organs back in."


AN:
Me: I should go back and edit in a bit at the end of the chapter when he gets the newest quirk, so it helps flow into the next chapter.
Also me: I shouldn't skip the first reaction and description of his new quirk, better have an entire chapter dedicated to him getting the new quirk.
Sometimes I honestly don't even know what my own endgame is. I really do just be doing shit.😑🗿
Should I go back to the last chapter and edit out the added in bit so this chapter has more of a justification for existing, or just accept this goof for what it is and let it ride as-is?

Isn't Jaku the place AFO runs to find quirks to eat? Kind of sad that all it took was a creepy roll for her to throw him back to the belly of the beast./jk

Chances are he wouldn't target such a high profile kid while recovering from his fight with all might but the chance is still there.

"An older brother has the right to his siblings organ jar."
"You know, I spent a lot of years taking care of you. I gave you socks, bread, and even name brand water after you got sick sicking the condensation off of your cell's water pipes. How about you be the generous one for a change and lend your better half the organ jar for a bit?"
 
While she thought it was a waste of daylight to sleep in, her son seemed to think the only thing sunlight was good for was sleeping in front of.

He just like me frfr.

Also that's an insane quirk lmao. Poor Midnight, she was just getting him used to cuddles and now he's a sentient jar. Well he always was a glass jar half empty kinda guy so it works out. Can't wait to see the hospital's and everyone else's reaction to this shit

I thought with the wording of "jars" being plural, each of his organs would have their own jar. Though later wording does have jar as singular. I suppose he can do both? Maybe the 24 hour limit is only if he ejects everything? So if he only does it to his heart or kidneys or something the time limit might be longer.

Quirks can grow stronger with training, and that'd be a hell of a way to do it. It also gives the option that if his body is destroyed/killed/whatever, he'd reform around his phylactery heart.

But what happens if he has two different jars to reform around? The first (and funniest) option is he grows a body around each jar. Whether the bodies are telepathically linked or not is also to be considered. The second option is that the body reforms around one jar and the other jar dies off or something, idk. This one would probably have a complex equation depending on biomass and/or "hierarchy" of organs (brain is priority over heart, heart over lungs, lungs over stomach, etc.) to determine where it reforms.

Still, the only benefit to pulling a Voldemort and having multiple phylacteries would be the fear that your organs would get attacked while away, which is kinda fair. Well, also as potential Quirk training exercises.

...I had a sudden thought, what are the limits of "vital organs and bodily systems"? Obviously the stuff in his torso counts, but could he push out his entire skeleton? Everything but his skin? If he can do that, does his telekinesis somehow compensate for losing most of his weight, or does he become light enough to basically float? Both? What's the limit of his telekinesis on his body? Could he fly by dragging his "cicada shell" through the air?

What happens if Eraserhead glares at him? Is his body instantly "killed" or does he just temporarily lose the ability to control it?

These are absolutely all questions that need to be explored.
