Scenarios:
> Cleanup of downtown Locke City still has a ways to go. It looks like that shop you were planning on another trip to this week is closed for the time being. Or the entire block is trashed and you'll be needing an alternate route to work. Or your workplace is trashed, if not some real estate you had in the area, and you'll be needing a helping hand - or are trying to offer one!
> Help, help, I've been robbed - your bag or wallet's just been snatched, or is in the process of being snatched. Catch the snatcher or rough them up - you may or may not be surprised, if you come to blows or a chase, to find on throwing a punch that they're much quicker and/or sturdier than you'd have expected. Maybe someone will dive in to back you up.
> Monster encounter! There's a Vermini infestation going around in Las Vegas that may present itself in either of two forms. One is swarms of little black... insects? Tiny little wingless people-shaped ugly fairy things? The second is animals with a nose for the Numbered and an aggressive streak with some distinct mutations - you might find a lizard with disturbingly human ears, a bird with teeth, etc.
> Transportation/travel. You're at an airport or train station, whether to escape or take a tour to a strange-events hotspot, or plain go on an innocent vacation. Mix up your bags or timetables, grab a pre-ride snack, chat up those with the same destination, get or give directions, find yourself receiving an ill-timed item Echo in front of security - whatever you can think up!
> Say - is that one of those superhumans you've spied on the street? Yes, I do believe it is - you've seen them on the news/read about them, that or their looks give them away! Go on and ask questions of them, be it for serious answers or an autograph, depending on who you are.
> ...And it looks like you're a superhuman yourself. Looks like that hollowed-out feeling you got was followed by a mutation, or some strange thing in your brain. How're you going to come to grips with it?
> Wildcard/Etc. Make up your own!
Prompts suggested by Alec and Zero.
Jude Mathis | Tales of Xillia
[Well, even if he wasn't really directly involved in all this, he would feel kind of bad if he just decided to ignore it. As a newly inducted 'Number', he felt this could be his way of giving to the community and helping out as well. Of course, his parents don't know this yet, and he's sure at least his did would flip out.
Then again, he's never really been good at being decisive before.
When he got his 'oracle', that was the time he decided to change. Maybe now he could be brave instead of hiding behind everything.
So yes, clean up, that's a good safe first step.]
(Thief!)
[Someone just pickpocketed him! While he never likes being violent, he does know his fair amount of martial arts. So running up to the guy who thought it smart to pick on a small half-Chinese half-American kid might find themselves in a world of hurt after an uppercut and a kick in the chin.
Getting his wallet back, he meekly backs off.]
S-sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, I... just need this.
[He needs to work on his demeanor.]
(Misc.)
[So there's that really smart kid in your 10th grade class at the Locke School of Science. Gets straight A's, probably mockingly gets called an 'honors student' by his peers. Also, he has really girly handwriting so he probably gets called all sorts of nasty names. Being bullied is something he's really used to, so he tends to ignore it.
Still, he's that really smart kid with straight A's in your 10th grade class. When your parents are both doctors, that kind of helps with your grades, especially when your dad's really tough on you.]

He then glances at the tall student sitting next to him.]
Is there anything you need?
[Because no one would sit next to him just because.]
no subject
[ He just has to fish in his bag and find his own food. It might look a little similar in style to Jude's lunch, but he's using a spoon to shovel it down. ]
Well, I'd like to punch the next person who makes a face or mime at you, but I don't need the suspension.
no subject
[Which isn't a joke. He can pack a punch when he needs to, but he hates initiating fights. Violence is never the answer, and only makes his peers more volatile towards him.]
Although, I should say thanks. It's the thought that counts.
[He smiles a little, happy someone would protect him. Though he wouldn't want to hurt his reputation at all...]
no subject
[ He studies the younger boy for a moment. Yeah.. maybe. ]
It's no problem. I have a kid brother who gets picked on for being small, so it bugs me.
no subject
[He looks down at his lunch, somewhat dejected. His dad was always telling him how he was a child, never following through or taking responsibility like an adult.
Even though he's quite distressed at what little they've talked about, his facial expressions remain neutral.]
no subject
[ He put his foot in it, didn't he? ]
no subject
[He's honestly not forceful with his words, nor is he really offended. He's pretty level headed, and well, making friends isn't exactly why he's going to school. Though even he'd admit it'd be nice.]
no subject
[ Or parents. His dad has fits whenever he ends up in fights. ]
no subject
[So yes, he hates it, but he's pretty mature and almost thoughtful and understanding about the people who bully him.]
I wish I could be brave and stand up to them, though.
Thief!
Whoa, nice job! Where'd you learn that?
no subject
It's Kung Fu. I train at a dojo a few times a week.
no subject
[Not that Evan knows a lot about kung fu or any other kind of martial arts, but he knows it looked pretty good.]
no subject
[Jude looks pretty pleased with himself, to be honest. It's the whole reason he learned Kung Fu aside from making sure bullies quit picking on him.]
no subject
[And then he starts making exaggerated poses and chopping motions, making sounds like he's in an action movie. It's totally dumb.]
no subject
Well, the dojo I train at is still taking new members, so if you wished to at least check it out, you could.
no subject
[He looks even more eager imagining himself doing all this stuff for real, although would his mom let him? No, yes, maybe? ...Eh, he'll figure it out later.]
Awesome! What's it called?
no subject
Here. It has the phone number, address and everything on it.
[He's all to happy to recruit for this place! (he may have done it because they needed recruiters and he's a do-gooder who wants to make sure everyone's happy.)]
no subject
Thanks a lot! I'll check it out.
[Oh, right.]
And it's great you got your stuff back, too!
no subject
[He can't help but smile, happy he might have a potential recruit. That will make the master at the dojo happy.]
Well, I train hard for self-defense for situations like this, so I'm glad it worked out, too.
no subject
[Friend? Maybe???]
