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!

[Of course, Michelle tilts her head in bemused fashion when she sees the double thumbs-up. You couldn't possibly be congratulating her for clumsily tripping and ruining a obnoxious piece of shit customer's clothes, could you...? Why would you ever do that, she is ever so sorry for what she did.

So sorry, in fact, that as she shuffles off to get the woman a towel, she punches in the code for a free dessert coupon to Jonas's order, and brings a heaping bowl of orange sherbert to his table just as she's getting up to (huffily) leave.]

Orange you glad this won't be on your bill?

[A wink. See, this is what happens when you're a customer that doesn't suck.

...Well, not usually. But rubbing it in just a little doesn't hurt, right? As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold.]]

[ He fucking cackles-- Jonas is, by no means, a subtle guy and if the huffy customer didn't notice Michelle's reward for Jonas' support, she will now.

Mock conspiratorially, he leans in closer to Michelle and near-whispers: ]

You planned this for the pun, didn't you? Right from the start-- "Orange you glad" was the game plan, wasn't it?

Planned...? [Her mouth forms a perfect 'o' of confusion, brows furrowing gently.]

Oh! Oh, no, I just came up with it on the way from putting in your coupon...! I love orange puns, haha...

[She twirls a finger around a lock of her red-orange hair, as if to illustrate why she would enjoy orange-themed puns. Look, you know what happened here, and she knows what happened here, but if Huffy Customer brings around a manager, she needs some degree of plausible deniability.]
