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!

[That's certainly an interesting name for a dog.]

No, its nothing like that. Grace here has just been a little on edge since the incident. Its made her a bit wary of strangers.

[Growing tired of the little dog's yapping, Alex picks her up. She still barks every now and again, but she's clearly much more comfortable in his arms.]

She's actually a big softie once you get to know her. But I doubt she'll ever be quite as good a listener as your dog.

[Names from Norse mythology made for excellent pet names.]

Understandable. Us humans are wary enough. Was she in the business district when shit went down there? [Now that Grace's stopped yapping so much, Thjalfi calms down as well, enough to put his head down on the ground since it looks like his walker is going to stay and chat for a bit.]

Not my dog, my uncle's dog. One of two dogs actually. But yeah, he's well trained. Doesn't help he's smart to begin with. [And as if Thjalfi knows his walker is praising him, his tail begins to wag up and down.]

[The whole incident isn't something he wants to talk about, and he shifts a little uncomfortably. But Alex doesn't want to be rude and brush the man off, so he does offer an answer.]

We were both only a few blocks away from there when everything started. We managed to get away from there unscathed, but all of the excitement was a bit much for her.

[And speaking of Grace, after a few more scrtiches, its seems that she's calmed down as well, as she finally stops yapping for the moment.]

[Fil doesn't really notice the other man's discomfit with the topic, he's too busy scratching Thjalfi, who is pretty shamelessly nudging Fil's hand whenever he stops. He nods at the other man's answer.]

That's good. I was unfortunately working in the business district that day, but I got lucky and got out with just a few bruises.
