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!

[Fil's out helping as well; his company's building was one of the one's that was hit. It's still standing, but there was quite a bit of damage inside and around. Currently he's helping to haul the smaller debris up into bigger piles for the machines and trucks to take away.]

Swearing isn't going to clean up this place any faster you know.

[Liam glances over to the other when he speaks, an amused smirk forming.]

Maybe not, but it makes me feel better.

[He makes his way over.]

You a volunteer?

[Fil shrugs; the new guy will soon learn not to waste his breathe swearing.]

Kind of. [He points at the office building diagonally behind them.] That's the office building I was working in when the giant snake appeared. Everyone in the office is helping with the cleanup as much as they can, whether or it's part of our building or not.

That's cool, I can understand that. How's it going so far?

[With one last kick, the extra big bag of garbage Fil was hauling was finally in a place where it's not going to collapse on someone. He dusts his hands on on his jeans before answering.]

Slowly. Really slowly. And everyone has different ideas on what should be prioritized. If they all stopped arguing it'll go faster.

Don't you have somebody in charge? Get somebody who knows what they're doing, and you guys can work together on it.

My building back there and the two beside it were all owned by the same company so things are getting fixed there. It's the public areas that are under dispute or so I heard. I just do what I can and stay away from the arguments. Easier for my sanity that way.

[Liam nods.]

Well, hopefully that should change soon. We're trying to get our end of the situation worked out. I bet dealing with Thundercorp is going to be a pain in the ass, though.

I'm betting that they throw money on the situation and comes out of the entire mess smelling like roses.

[He smirks at that.]

I wouldn't put it passed them... So, was this where you worked? What did you do here?

[There's a matching smirk and cynical look in Fil's eyes.]

Just an intern, luckily a paid one. I work for an architectural firm. What about you, when you're not volunteering in disaster cleanups?

Huh, good to know. Do you work with Rain Industries at all?

Technically I'm not volunteering since I'm getting paid.

[Well, that name was familiar. Wasn't it...]

I think my company has on one or two occasions. Not recently though.

Let me guess....Rain Industries is paying you?

Yeah, but I would have come down here anyway, since I had a lot of good times here growing up. I want to see this place fixed up again.

Oh? City must have changed a lot, the mess here not withstanding. I'm pretty much a newcomer in the city.
