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!

[The voice... something about that voice... She can almost feel something clawing at her mind. Something familiar.

She takes another step forward.]

This isn't exactly the sort of place one would be prone to just wandering into accidentally, having lost their way.

[Of course not, with it taped off, someone would have to be there purposefully.]

[That step brings Saretha close enough for Raye to get a clearer look at her and all at once everything fades out. The rain is gone, replaced by raging fires. The wreckage goes from being controlled and cleaned up to newly scattered, the ruins of an entire city that was still burning and collapsing around her.

It's her. IT'S HER. The girl she was fighting against in that memory, the one in white. That empty feeling washes over her again, leaving her staring for a moment, before reality comes back and she shifts, instinctively, into a fighting stance, fists clenched at her sides.]

What the hell are you doing here, [and then the name tumbles from her lips, as if out of nowhere] Kiryuin Satsuki?!

[Saretha's eyes widen in a momentary, rare bit of shock as she catches a good view of the girl. Memory flashes through her, of someone who looked quite similar, albeit wearing far less. Triumphant, pointing a rather peculiar looking red blade at her... be well beneath her as Saretha's past self was met with a challenge.

There's a clatter and a splash on the ground, the case now open and empty as her sheathed blade is held at her side. She's not even sure when she did it, but her hands moved on pure instinct.]

I could ask the same of you.

[Her fingers grip the blade's hilt.]

Matoi Ryuko.

[The second Bakuzan comes out of its case, she has the Scissor Blade in her hand and held out to her side. Still in its compact form but she's ready to trip whatever mechanism causes it to grow at the first sign of that sword being unsheathed. For the moment, she's forgotten the rain and is instead completely focused on Saretha.]

Who're you asking? The name's Raye Satterfield.

[Not that she had any intention of answering her questions anyway. A defiance that Saretha might find just as familiar as her face.]

Saretha Kaiser.

[She takes another step forward, then another no outward hesitation showing. Even as her umbrella drops to the ground with the case, she appears to care little for the rain, herself. Her expression remains stern. Harsh.]

It would seem you and I have some familiarity, Satterfield. Whether we want it or not.

Yeah, looks that way, Kaiser.

[She doesn't flinch or move away as Saretha comes toward her, as one might expect somebody to do when a woman armed with a sword comes their way with that look on her face. Rather, she keeps her feet planted right where she is. That stubborn defiance from the girl in her memories clearly having made the trip into this life as well.

Senketsu bristles again and actually growls as Junketsu comes closer, every instinct in him urging him to lunge into battle against the other Kamui. His natural enemy.]

Looks like you brought your friend with you too, huh?
