HERE WE GO AGAIIIIIN

Here's a few options, ganked from the last one and still as shamelessly stolen from even earlier versions.

> 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

Very nice! Test Strike! FABULOUS!

[Xander was on his way home from work, but hearing the sound of someone screaming profanities down the street caught his attention. He didn't know what the commotion was about until an umbrella knocked in to his legs. With a small glance downwards, he moves to pick up the item before it can get away.]

Is this what you were screaming after?

[He asks, although having to be a bit louder than the rain and thunder as he offers the umbrella back to Kloe.]

[abstinentzombie]

[Well this is embarrassing. Kloe stops and quickly grabs the umbrella from him.

Not that the umbrella was very useful now, considering she'd soaked.]

Yes, thanks.

[dominateartimus]

[Once Kloe had a good grip on it, he released and nodded to her.]

You're welcome. With this rain, you might want to get inside very soon.

[He glanced to their surroundings for a brief moment before raising a hand in farewell and moved towards his apartment building's door.]

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe was about to make a sarcastic retort, not in the mood for idle polite chitchat, but then he started to leave.

Shit.]

Wait! Can I use your phone? Mine's dead.

[dominateartimus]

[When she shouted wait, he pauses and looks over his shoulder. He hears the request and gives a nod.]

Sure. You're not allergic to cats, are you?

[He was fetching out his keys to unlock the door.]

[abstinentzombie]

No. I have my own.

[Success! Maybe things will start turning around. One can only hope anyway.]

[dominateartimus]

Well, that's good to know.

[He held the door open for her and gestured with his head for her to get inside.]

[abstinentzombie]

[She quickly ducks inside and briefly looks around. Just to make sure this guy wasn't a clear psycho.]

Thanks. My car went kaput and I need it towed.

[dominateartimus]

[Once Kloe stepped inside, he closed the front door behind him and lowered his jacket's hood. Not wasting any time, he leads Kloe up the stairs. But, when he hears Kloe's reason for needing a phone, he looks over his shoulder with a concerned expression.]

I'm sorry to hear about that. [He was quite genuine with that.] We're not very far from my apartment and I can offer you a towel to dry off, if you want it.
