Wha-- a cat has rocket boots and I don't?!? Man, I gotta get with the program...

U-Uh, no, let me... like, not jetpack-jetpack, as in... I-I don't wanna fly around or anything. That's not my style, y'know? [ More like he knows he'd be throwing up all over the place if he did. ]

I just mean... the monsters I've been fighting lately, they've all been unfairly ginormous, and I can't jump high like Yang or Ruby. I mean, they can't either without the boost of their weapons, which... brings me to my point! I need a little booster to help me jump higher, or... to slow down my falls. N-Not that I fall a lot. But... y'know... it happens. From really high places.

It was a personal project back home, not that big of a deal. [But they're pretty cool, if he says so himself.]

[But he listens. It's...noble, in a strange way, that all Jaune wants is something to help him help their friends fight. Isn't that why he made his gear in the first place? So when he responds, there's something almost like understanding in his tone.]

Gotcha. I think I've got an idea. I'll have to see what parts I can find but--okay so have I told you about my team at all? There's six of us, me and Baymax included. I made all of their gear myself and my friend Fred wanted two things. One of them was the ability to basically super-jump, so when I designed his suit the feet were spring-loaded. He cleared his entire house and his house is a mansion...which is weird and you'd know why if you met Fred, but anyway, I bet I could work something out to help you slow your falls, too.

[He already has ideas. Jaune, why did you do this to him personally?] When do you want it done by?

[ This is great. All they need now is a training/testing montage to "Immortals" when it's ready. ]

Right! So like a booster thing, right? Remember, it's gotta look cool and organic, we can't just sticky-tape springs on my shoes. N-Not that I tried it or anything. But! You're the inventor! Do you need me to draw, like, blueprints or anything? Does it need to be in a blue pen? I got other colours, too! Ahh, Hiro, I'm so psyched for this!! Have you started it yet?! [ ...That should answer his other question. ]

[zerotohiro]

What do you take me for, an amateur? I'm kinda offended, dude. Nobody's stick-taping anything to anybody. [...] That's...not how blueprints work. Just leave it to me. I can probably skip out on a couple of my other projects that aren't making a ton of progress for a bit to work on these.

One condition though.

[beaconed]

Condition? Yeah, let's hear it.

[ Jaune is pretty comfortable with a condition being attached to this, since he has no money to offer and Hiro is already going out of his way to work on this for him. This is reasonable. ]

I wanna be there when you test them out just to see 'em in action. Deal?

audio;

[beaconed]

Heh, is that all? Sure! No problem, Hiro.

...
A-Actually, to be completely honest, you'd probably have to explain to me how it works anyway. A-And don't bother with a manual or anything.

[ Jaune Arc does not read manuals. ]

[zerotohiro]

Tactile learner huh? Cool, I can work with that. It shouldn't take too long to get a prototype created and we can test them out in the park. What size shoe do you wear anyway?

[ Some inaudible yelling can be heard in the background... ]

Agh! Can't talk! I'm supposed to be in detention.

[ what ]

I'll text you all my deets, okay?! Keep me posted! Hiro, I'm so freaking exci-- okay, okay, SIR, I'm hanging up!

Bye!
