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!

[Stella is simply shelving the dvds that have been returned, pausing in picking one up to shelf it when she notices the boy. Hearing his voice she turns, her short blonde hair shifting with the movement and she brushes it from her eyes. She's quite used to people asking for her to help them. It's just part of the job, since she isn't behind the desk dealing with issuing the books or dvds people might want to get out.]

Yes? Did you need some help looking for something? Sometimes a book or dvd might not be on the shelf if it's just been returned. I can try to help though! What were you looking for?

[He nods as she's talking. Yes, he knows the spiel...]

I know. Uh, yeah, I'm looking for a DVD. [Wow, duh. Way to state the obvious, Ian.] I mean, uh. It's a Mystery Science Theater one. Volume 23? I just wondered if it made it onto your cart, or...

Volume 23? Lets see.....

[Stella skims the spines of the cases she is returning, clapping her hands and retrieving one to hand over to him. She is fairly sure she has seen him around the library regularly, as often as she works here.]

Here you go! It must have just been returned this morning. I hope you enjoy it! I've seen you around here before, I think, so if you ever need any help again, just let me know.
