LET'S [test] DRIVING

[cava]

IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, YOU KNOW THE DRILL. Here's a few options, all stolen shamelessly from previous iterations.

> The Park. Man, what a nice day out. Why not enjoy it? I'm sure -- shit, yep, there's some echo monsters or whatever they're called.
> The Mall. Exactly what it says on the tin! Dodge the hordes of teenage mallrats or take part, whichever suits your tastes.
> Rainy Day. Agh, it's fucking awful out. And is it raining those vermilion things?? Now you've got an Echo to contend with on top of everything else. Find some shelter, quick!
> Arts and Crafts Fair. WILL THE KITSCH OVERWHELM YOU


or make up your own whatever this is basic and just for the purposes of getting a new test drive up.

Joe / Joe Weller | The Protomen

[What a nice day for the park. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, children are laughing. On a park bench is a guy in his late 30s, maybe early 40s depending on how you guess the stress line on his face, looking a bit out of place.

He looks like he'd just gotten out of a fight, his clothes a bit torn and dirtied with plenty of scrapes over his arms and face. Most oddly, he's tossing a green motorcycle helmet to himself while humming and just seeming to enjoy the weather.

So, who wants to say hi to one of Locke City's former officers of the law?]

[dang it really is a nice day isn't it. Maya has an umbrella and is nearby, re-reading SnowCrash]

[Joe messes up a catch of the helmet which bounces off the toe of his shoe and rolls over to stop by Maya.]

Ah, sorry about that ma'am!

[Joe walks over the picks it up.]

I dropped it you see.

[... shit, it's been a while. Weird running into him around here

just gonna throw a rolled-away beach ball at the back of his head, let it bounce back into his hands and toss it back to the kids asking for it.]

[originaljoe]

Gah! Who threw that?!

[Joe barely catches the helmet after getting hit before whipping around, pretty tempted to throw it. Then he realized he was looking at Raul.]

Of course. Who else but you?

[Stepping over the back of the bench, Joe walked over to Raul before setting a hand on his shoulder.]

I gotta say, I'm surprised to still see you around.

[hopediesalone]

[he laughs at the initial bit, but raises an eyebrow when Joe speaks.]

What, expected I'd skip town?

[originaljoe]

Honestly?

[Joe looks down to the helmet in his hands for a moment.]

Yeah I sorta did. Doesn't matter, good to see ya Raul.
