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.

Six... years...

[she bit her lower lip. She mulled over something, and... decided it was best to say it now]

Dr. Bidan... my brother... he was in one of those things. It had... it had a crest like this too...

[Cameron chuckles wryly a bit at Amy's repitition] Oh, I haven't been remembering for that long, mind you. Before I decided to focus on my medical degree, I was double-majoring as an engineer. [A rueful smile crosses his face.] I was damn good at it too. Nothing quite as spectacular as a Gundam, maybe, but I'd probably would be working for the military like your brother did-

[And then it hits Dr. Bidan just what she said.] ... That's right. They need to be piloted, don't they? [He's looking right at you, Amy.] I can't claim to know your brother well, Amy, but the fact that he's also involved means he's going to need your support. [He puts the notebook back in his briefcase.] We won't learn anything about what's happening to us if we sit around and do nothing out of fear.
feastorfamine: (thinking)

Mn...

[Amy makes an effort to avoid saying "that makes two of us" in response to the "don't know your brother well" comment, but she just sighs]

... There's... another thing I remembered that I don't know the meaning of, Dr. Bidan. Does the word "Gunpla" mean anything to you...?

[personal profile] zetahatsudo 2014-03-30 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Gun... Pla? [Dr. Bidan has to think on that for a while.] ... I can't say that it does, but it sounds like some sort of contraction, to me. [He frowns.] That... probably wasn't what you were hoping to hear, was it?
feastorfamine: (disapproving look)

[personal profile] feastorfamine 2014-03-30 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
... [she sighs, and shakes her head]

I'm sure it'll come to one of us in time... thank you anyway, doctor...

[personal profile] zetahatsudo 2014-03-30 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no trouble, Amy. [He nods to her.] I'll see you at the bar then?
feastorfamine: (when she smiles)

[personal profile] feastorfamine 2014-03-31 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Of course.

... By the way, word of warning... Mom is planning on calling in your tab.

[personal profile] zetahatsudo 2014-03-31 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Gck-! [Damnit, so close to freedom and that water-pick!] I-is that right? It's a good thing I have the money on hand, right? ['My water-pick--!']
feastorfamine: (happy go lucky)

[personal profile] feastorfamine 2014-04-04 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Amy actually chuckles now]

Don't worry about it. Just bring it by tonight or whenever you come back next... I figured a regular customer deserved early warning.
