HEL-LO, EARTH'S NEW HEROES.

Test Drive Meme!

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! The above or you were robbed (or, for all you could tell, misplaced something) a while ago, and one of the objects you lost seems to have come back to you, if not the way you recognize it. Ayup, getting backup might be a good idea.
> 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!

[Amy had gone to the comic shop in order to see if she could find anything about the memories she'd been experiencing. To see if there was any context for what "Gunpla" and "Gundam" were.

Instead, she found a boy with a tail.

Intent on not being conspicuous, she picked up a random comic and used it to hide her face... or at least, she hoped it would. Of course, when she grabbed it, she didn't realize it was a Japanese boys love comic... and when she did, she found her face turning very red as a result]

[flashover]

[Rin's been there so long by now that he's sitting down with his face to the racks, tail still a-goin'. The other browsers had seemingly had their fill of taking pictures of him. The section next to him is pretty deserted for... obvious reasons. So when someone yanks a comic off that shelf, Rin can't help but look.

And laugh. And speak in his accented english]

Pfffffffttttttttt haaaaahahahah!! Pervert!! Here's a pervert! Heeee, you're supposed to bring those home first, ecchi da!

[feastorfamine]

[Amy's face turned an even brighter shade of red, before she lifted her arm and swatted at Rin with the book, before stuffing it back where she found it]

Sh-shut up! I was just grabbing something to look b-busy...!

[flashover]

Itai! [but he snickers anyway, a little red himself because EWWW PERVY GIRLS]

Uh huh, sure. I believe you. That's sarcasm!! Americans use that a lot, and I'm GOOD AT IT!

[feastorfamine]

[she grit her teeth]

Do I look like the kind of person who looks at smut in the middle of a store?! I've never even been here before today...!

[flashover]

I dunno, do you? Heeehehehe!! PerrrrrVERT!

[feastorfamine]

[Amy's face was red as a beet, and this boy was on her last nerve]

You... you cut that out! Or I'll show you what happens to someone who insults a Dylandy!

[flashover]

[oh man oh man this is too much fun. He picks his nose a bit]

"Dyu-lan-dee?" I don't know what that is. Sorry, pervert.

[feastorfamine]

That's my family's name!

[and that's the last thing she says before taking a swing at the boy's face]

[flashover]

Bwagh!

[lucky for Rin, he's a punkass motherfucker even reincarnated. He dodges the fist then grabs her wrist, pulling her into a hold]

Hold on! I don't fight girls! Not even pervert girls!

[feastorfamine]

[and luckily for Amy, she's a bit scrappier than she looks, and evades the grab, getting into a more aggressive stance]

Then you shouldn't insult them...!

[flashover]

[ooh well then! Rin, in contrast, relaxes, offering a grin]

You're good!

[feastorfamine]

... Excuse me...?!

[before Amy could say anything else, the proprietor of the comic shop approached them. He was... a surprisingly tall, well-built man who towered over both teenagers]

Is there a problem here?

[flashover]

[Rin blinks, then quickly hides his tail. Because AUTHORITY FIGURE???] Ahh... N-no sir-san. [Rin no you don't have to put an honorific there] I was just leaving.

[feastorfamine]

... So was I.

[it would not be a good idea to be thrown out of a business you were in for the first time. Sighing to herself, Amy turned to leave]

[flashover]

[Rin isn't done with his comic, though!! The manager glares.

"By the way, kid, this ain't a library."

Sighs. Rin checks his pockets, finding a few dollars. Enough to buy the comic! He heads to the register without giving the pervy girl a second thought]
