[test] THIS WEATHER IS RIDICULOUS

[espigeonage]

Random scenario test drive meme. Some prompts:
> Ah god it's so hot and muggy how awful!
> The worst thing about summer cold snaps: you don't usually have your windbreaker handy because it's been so damn hot.
> The wind is perverse and trying to steal your things and/or crash stuff into you.
> It's raining wet vermy-things, as if the hail and possible storm wasn't bad enough. Now you have rain-echoes to deal with, at best.
> A nice day? I guess those exist?

So where are you?
> Caught way out in the open! At the beach, in the steet, at a fair, anywhere.
> Taking shelter! Bus stop, club you wouldn't normally frequent, bridge underpass, any port in a storm, any shade from the deathsun.
> In the mall or somewhere comfortably out of the elements, you lucky sunuvanek.
> Somewhere... else? idk, do what you want!

Have at thee!

A) There's a fan convention of some kind in town, and Mara is out and about dressed like Sailor Moon. It's absurdly windy out, and Mara is clearly Not Pleased with the situation, her skirt whipping and clutching onto her bag.

B) Mara works at a restaurant waitressing in Little Tokyo. She isn't necessarily a good waitress, but she is a waitress! And it's raining cats and dogs outside, so you're both stuck there now. Is she your waitress? That... might be unfortunate.

C) It's so hot outside oh god, and Mara's sad little red sedan is broken down in a less populated area of the city in the midst of the heat. She's got the hood open but it's clear she's no mechanic, so she's mostly just prodding at things while sweating away, clearly not pleased with the situation.

It's like choose your own adventure, but instead it's choose your own annoyed Mara. ]

c - here, have a soldier boy

[the usual thing would be to just ignore the stalled car and the person under the hood. it wasn't a good area, and people have been known to get jumped by people pretending to be stranded. but for retired sergeant Peaceful Sky Summers - once known by the name Cloud Strife in a world far away - but now called Peace by a few close friends and Summers by everyone else, not helping would be wrong.

also he could probably handle anything any ridiculous thief would toss at him.

so, have a built forty-something man on a tricked out motorcycle stop and approach her slowly. he won't remove his sunglasses though since his eyes actually have been glowing the past two weeks and he really doesn't want people to freak out by the glow.]

Do you need a hand, Miss?

[ At the voice, Mara bangs her head against the propped-up hood. She turns, about to say that hell no excuse you, but shuts up at the sight. Maybe because admittedly, yeah, she does need help. ]

Uh, yeah, I think so. Not actually sure what the hell's it's problem. Just died on me, won't start.

[ She gestures to the car with all the ugh she can muster, because none less can describe how she's feeling about now. ]

Did it make any weird noises before it stopped?

[yup, he was a mechanic, though usually he worked on bikes but every vehicle has a few common approaches towards fixing them. so, he take a look under the hood and test a few wires and hoses to make sure they were firmly attached like they should be.]

[millennias]

Rattled a bit. But it does that everyday, so I figured it was normal.

[ And welp Mara clearly does not know anything about cars. She leans against the car with one hand, the other on her hip, watching him with a concentrated frown. ]

[atouchofstrife]

[after giving everything a test wiggle, he then moves on to the plugs, making sure they were in place and that none looked dead.]

Loud clanking rattle or sharp knocking rattle?
