Test drive

[theearth]

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!

[Yelena was quite confident with her chances, with or without Blake's help. She was hardly a beginner when it came to fighting, and it shows as she smoothly gets into a fighting stance.]

Helping you out. These guys don't exactly have your health in mind!

[Okay, why did the other girl just stop like that? Well, never mind that, she can't get distracted.]

I can take 'em.

[Blake however, at least in this life, is much more of a beginner. As in she probably couldn't tell you when she'd ever actually been in a fight if you asked her. She hadn't been relishing the idea of the inevitable confrontation with these guys, despite the weapon she's carrying and the abilities that had come along with it through some magical means. She'd only chosen to turn around when she had because she liked the idea of being followed home by them even less.

Still, that feeling of familiarity is hard to shake off... and more so, the quiet confidence that her presence seems to bring. Almost like she knows that this person... whoever she is, is somebody she can count on to watch her back.]

"Fuck it, just take both of them out."

[Blake's thoughts are rudely interrupted as the downed man gets back up and the group splits into pairs, two for each of them, and reach into their pockets, snapping out long, metal batons. Blake narrows her eyes and takes a few slow steps back, reaching into her bag and taking hold of the hilt of weapon inside, waiting for all hell to break loose....]

[She wasn't the only one, there was definitely something oddly familiar about whoever this black haired girl was. Trying to figure this all out is going to have to wait.]

Why don't you guys just walk away? That way, we won't need to crack some skulls!

[She's waiting for them to make the first move, so she'd be able to use their own momentum against them and take them out.]
