TEST DRIVE MEME

Scenarios:

> Hometown Hustle - Are you still recovering from Locke City's recent Alien Invasion? Are these murders in Vegas really getting you down? Or are you excited, for one reason or another?
> 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! There's a Vermini infestation going around in Las Vegas that may present itself in either of two forms. One is swarms of little black... insects? Tiny little wingless people-shaped ugly fairy things? The second is animals with a nose for the Numbered and an aggressive streak with some distinct mutations - you might find a lizard with disturbingly human ears, a bird with teeth, etc.
> 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!

Yeah, you can do that. And then eventually an evil car tries to run you over.

What's it like? It's like nearly being run over by cars.

[changed_fate]

Yeah, see, evil cars are a pretty good reason to want out of this as far as I can tell.

You sound a bit bitter, though. Had a close call?

[feastorfamine]

Close enough to break my arm. It wasn't the car's fault though.

[changed_fate]

Ouch.

There wasn't a driver, though? So who's fault would it be aside from the crazy car. Or crazy car thing, whatever the fuck it is. No one's found out yet, have they? Do you guys get to know about all this stuff early?

[Because, well, sometimes it is worth being ahead of the game. She might think about keeping an eye on - no! Best not to get involved in all this stuff. Even if some of it is kind of interesting in a 'I can't really believe that all of this is actually happening' kind of way.

She's not at all delving deeper while they talk. Nope.]

[feastorfamine]

From what I can tell we know more than the people who aren't incarnates. Not sure what else you mean. But as far as how my arm got broken, it was because of someone who didn't know how to control their powers that tried to help me.

[changed_fate]

I'm assuming that you don't know the answer to the meaning of life and all that crap.

Although if you did I might reconsider trying to get rid of this bloody number. Flashy powers would be pretty cool too. You can make a living off that shit you know.

At least their heart was in the right place? I hope you decked them one, though. With your good hand.

[feastorfamine]

Eh, she made it up to me.

By giving me a job.
