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!

[Robert lets out a snort before he can help himself. Superheroes. Hah.]

Nothing that glamorous. [Sure, he does want to find them, but not for the reasons the other is properly thinking.]

[ursoreckless]

Awww, too bad. Some of them might actually be fun to hang around with. Can you imagine chilling out with a nine foot naked person?

[dissensions]

Not really.

[Yeah, that's not really what Robert is into, man. He's not that all glamoured by these superheroes or whatever they're called.]

[ursoreckless]

[he laughs a little; probably because he's teasing or probably because he has a vague idea that he has had dinner with a nine foot tall naked person in the wake of Wise Snake.]

Still... you'd figure that it would happen in New York, not in the middle of New Jersey.

[dissensions]

[New York... well, yeah, Robert wouldn't be too surprised if that did happen. Hollywood does like to center it there, if its not DC.]

Real life isn't Hollywood, as much as we like to think otherwise.

[ursoreckless]

Yah, real life is better than Hollywood.

[seriously. shou is ridiculously living a life that most Hollywood execs wish they could have.]

[dissensions]

[Yeah well, he's hardly that interested it in. Maybe. Probably.]

Not all of us can live the high life. [Says this quite dryly. Yes, there may be a bit of discontentment in his voice, but Robert always had some issues with his own personal life.]

[ursoreckless]

High life? It doesn't need to be high life to be interesting; it's just funner when you can buy all the toys. [shou is probably the least spoiled trust fund baby in his circle. then again, he is also a huge brat and doesn't care so much as long as he gets attention.]

Although it can be fun just trying to figure out how to do something without buying all the toys.
