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!

[And she doesn't even miss a beat. In fact, she doesn't even seem to take a moment to think it over, before--]
What kind of dog is it? I'll help you look!
no subject
[Rika looks at this girl like she must be crazy] You want to help me...?
no subject
[And she's already looking to begin the search, when Rika asks that question and she blinks as if she's genuinely confused by that question.]
Well, yeah. Why wouldn't I?
[You could say it's to return the favor of not letting her crack her fool head open, but she doesn't seem to be giving off that vibe.]
no subject
Because people in this city never give a shit about others.
no subject
I don't think that's true. Sometimes people get all caught up in their own problems, but... that doesn't mean they don't care about others.
no subject
How long have you lived in Vegas?
no subject
My entire life.
no subject
[honestly extremely surprised, she crosses her arms]
Fine, you can help...
no subject
[Rika's surprise still seems to be confusing her a little bit, as if she can't really understand where that confusion at somebody offering a helping hand is coming from. However, that quickly passes when said hand is accepted and Maggie brightens considerably.]
Okay! Don't worry about a thing, we'll definitely get your dog back!
no subject
[she started walking, not waiting for Maggie. If she wanted to help, she could keep up]
You know this neighborhood? I'm not from around here...
no subject
[She nods and hurries up to keep pace with Rika, soon matching the girl's pace.]
Yeah, I come down here a lot when I visit my dad's work. Are you from another part of the city, or...?
no subject
[you could also say she doesn't really "live" anywhere and sleeps between jobs, but that's not worth bringing up right now]
What does your dad do...?
