Scenarios:

> 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!
> It's raining men vi har paraply It's raining, so seek shelter... Or run into someone because your umbrella is blocking your view, or jump into puddles and get everyone else wetter than they should be.
> Grab a coffee or get a letter You're at work, whatever that is; a coffee shop perhaps, or maybe you work for the FBI or as a kindergarten teacher, or something else entirely. Either way, things happen - maybe you only do your job, but maybe the supernatural suddenly impacts you in ways that you didn't plan on...
> 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? Maybe you received something right in the middle of the street, or while riding the bus, at school, or maybe on a date...
> Wildcard/Etc. Make up your own!

I'm right up here.

[The parrot peers over the top of that streetlamp.]

[Rika's head snapped up in the direction of the voice, which was followed by a long stare]

... You're a bird.

[her statement was punctuated by another bark from Rena]

So I've noticed.

[He glances at the dog, but he's not bothered. Not like he thinks she'd pose any sort of problem.]

What were you doing with that car?

[And he's got his little scaly arms crossed in a very disapproving fashion.]

... No. No. I am not going to argue with a bird. Least of all a muppet bird.

[she may be content to ignore Torin, but she's not content to do this in front of him. She starts walking, snapping her fingers to signal Rena to follow. The German shepherd growls up at Torin before moving to follow her master]

I'm not a Muppet. I'm a Red and Blue Lory.

[He's just flying along, following, making sure there will be no further attempted carjackings tonight...]

Yeah, well, most lorys or whatever don't have god damned arms...

[she looked over her shoulder, glaring]

Will you stop following me already?!

I am rather unusual in that regard, true.

[The parrot is unfazed by this glaring.]

That depends. Are you planning to break into any more automobiles tonight?

Depends. Are you gonna act holier than thou tonight?

[argh]

What does a bird care what I do with my life?! Don't you have seeds to eat and cars to shit on?!

Perhaps, if the situation warrants.

[The parrot is not amused.]

I eat fruit, and I assure you, I use a toilet like any civilized being. And I care because you or someone else might get hurt.

[that did it. This whole scenario was too out of the ordinary for her, too strange. She grabbed a nearby trashcan lid and heaved it up in Torin's direction]

[The parrot extends a hand, palm facing outward, and calmly fires a blast of gold energy at the flying lid.]

That was uncalled for.

So is following me! What do you care what I do with my life, huh?! Have you stopped to consider what'll happen if I don't steal things?!

But stealing things is wrong!

[The parrot ruffles his feathers and draws himself up to his full ten-inch height as he perches on another street light.]

What is so important that you must continue to steal?

I don't have anywhere to live!

[Ruki grit her teeth, glaring up at the annoying creature]

I do this for money! There are people who expect me to bring them stuff!

[The parrot considers this.]

But what if I could offer you an alternative? I am certain the man who gave me a job would not blink at giving a human who needed a job one as well.
