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!

Seriously? You too? I think someone just swiped my duffel bag at the airport. Oh man I didn't even think about them being one of those super guys. You really think so?

[astion]

Well. I think they might have been? They were pretty fast! Or I could be wrong and they are just a really good runner. But it's possible, isn't it? Not everyone might use their powers to help. As unsettling as that might be to consider.

[saviorsoul]

That's putting it pretty mildly! We've seen what those guys can do with their powers. If they started using them on other people we'd be in even more trouble than we already are.

[astion]

Yes. I know. It could easily be a lot worse. I suppose I should be glad it was just them taking my bag and not actually hurting anyone because of their powers.

[saviorsoul]

Has anyone else mentioned getting robbed? Or do you remember anything else about your guy? What they looked like?

[astion]

I didn't get that good a look at him from the front. He wasn't wearing anything that really stood out either. Just some dark jeans and a red hoodie. It doesn't seem like I was the only one though. Which is. Worrying.

[saviorsoul]

Wish I could be more help but I didn't even see my guy. Or girl. I guess it could be either huh? What else has been getting stolen?

[astion]

That still doesn't mean it isn't the same person taking things. I think it's mostly people's bags, assuming they are after their money and such?

[saviorsoul]

Think they're small time? Or should we be worried that this is more of a training exercise?
