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!

[Saretha looks back ahead of her, unconcerned.]

You watch the news, I hope.

[seed_of_memory]

The news doesn't know the full story. There are a lot of people who do.

[she looks to the side]

Let's start with a simple one. What do you know about numbers?

[purestambition]

[Saretha makes a disgusted sound.

She begins to walk forward, and away from the other woman.]

I've no reason to answer anything, regardless of whether or not I know anything.

[seed_of_memory]

Hn.

[time to up the ante]

Fine then. But maybe you'd be more likely to talk about Keldek Enterprises, Saretha Kaiser.

[purestambition]

[Saretha stops cold, stance shifting and her glance falling back on the older woman.]

Well. I suppose you have at least basic deductive ability...

[seed_of_memory]

Maybe. And yet, I keep finding connections where I didn't expect them.

[her expression grows more grave]

In any case, we are both individuals who have been wronged by the man who controls that company.

[purestambition]

Wronged...

[She muses a bit, and she tilts her head just slightly to one side.]

That is a strong accusation.

[seed_of_memory]

Am I mistaken, then? Or is what I've learned actually the case?

[she sighs, and approaches Saretha]

Several months ago, I participated in an investigation that led to the death of a security guard. Keldek was at the heart of all of it. I don't... I don't want him to get away with it.

If I can, I would like to request your help in ensuring he's brought to justice.
