Test Drive Meme



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!

Prompts suggested by Alec and Zero.

[Julien lights up, one leg shifting as if he's thinking of stepping forwards. He lowers it again.] Yeah, actually! He's a friend of mine.

[Teagan would disagree.]

Tell me, is he a little softer around kin?

What do you mean by "softer?"
espigeonage: (🎇I swim)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-03-30 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
He puts on a hard face. Being liked isn't one of his priorities. [He ducks his head, smiling.] I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be rude! Bored, I guess. I have too much time on my hands, these days.

[Liam chuckles.]

Well, I can't disagree there, I guess... but if you've got time on your hands, you could also volunteer with the clean up.
espigeonage: (👓And it teases you)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-03-30 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like to! But, well... this happened. [Julien opens his wings slightly and folds them against his body again.] I've lost a lot of dexterity, and people tend to be nervous when I'm around.
arrowpoint: (➹ lasta)

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-03-30 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I guess that's a problem. I don't know what to tell you.
espigeonage: (👔You'll fake it if you have to)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-03-30 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Hah... Maybe I'll be able to do something when I'm more used to these, but I'll have to be careful, anyway.

So, you're volunteering then?
arrowpoint: (➹ sîr)

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-03-31 02:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[A laugh.]

I don't think it can be called volunteering when you get paid, but I did move down here to help out with this.
espigeonage: (☼You've gotta swim)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-03-31 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? Cool! I know your uncle's doing a lot with the rebuilding. You working for him?
arrowpoint: (➹ thala)

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-04-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty much, him being head of the company and all.

[A sigh. It was kind of sad to see it like this.]

Looks like this is going to take a lot of work though.
espigeonage: (☼The whole world is watching)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-04-01 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Better Rain than Thunder.

[He pauses.]

...I'm sorry, that's a terrible pun. But seriously, though, I have a way better feeling about his company than Thunder doing pretty much anything with this.
arrowpoint: (➹ harvo)

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-04-01 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Okay you get a laugh out of him for that one]

Yeah, I think a lot of people feel that way too, after what happened to the water. That really pisses me off.
espigeonage: (👔You'll be better and you'll)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-04-01 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Julien grins when Liam laughs. The color of his teeth isn't quite right.]

Yeah. God, I don't see why exposing that didn't get them to slink off with their tails between their legs! We should be able to bring that up at any time and they'd just back away.

[He rolls his eyes.]

Megacorps, I swear.

[Mentally he's questioning the teeth, but then he figures he really should be questioning the wings, and lets it go.]

It's probably because they have the money to afford a lot of good lawyers. That's a must when you're a company that big, in case shit like this happens.
espigeonage: (🐦Swim for your families)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-04-01 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Money. The shield to all evil.

[He gives Liam a sidelong glance, amused again.]

No offense, if you're rich.
arrowpoint: (➹ mithren)

[personal profile] arrowpoint 2014-04-01 12:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ouch. He shrugs it off.]

Money can do a lot of good stuff, too, you know.
espigeonage: (🎇begging to tear down the dawn)

[personal profile] espigeonage 2014-04-01 12:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know! Your typical post-college kid owing hundreds of thousands, here. [He thumps his chest with the wrist of his folded wing.]

Or, well, typical.
