Not-a-stripe 02: A new challenger gets off her lazy butt! Life in the scallywags!

[lookouttiger]

[Morning - 1669 Nelson Street - Open to household]

[If you are looking for breakfast this morning, you may be a little bit disappointed. Since drones are the majority of the household and the 60's style of 'living' was very unfriendly to a free spirit like Taiga, the constant demands of the drone children and the creepily jovial drone 'husband' wore

[Looking at the crazy lady charging with the cart and the seeming lack of a shopping agenda Mike jumps out of the way]

"Woah there! You're going to kill someone charging like that!"

[lookouttiger]

I apologize, good sir, but I can't hear you over how great my shopping is!

[And then she slips and falls on the floor, the cart speeding off to crash into a distant wall. Really, start keeping a tally of how often this happens.]

I stand corrected...ow.

[He shakes his head and offers her a hand up]

"Well, you looked a little lost and I just was going to offer some help."

[lookouttiger]

[She takes the hand and gets up, giving the stranger a leer.]

I'm not lost, I'm enjoying myself. And that's very hard to do here.

[boostedfailure]

"Well, can't argue that. Can't argue that in the least. I almost look forward to the terrible job they gave me here, but still."

[lookouttiger]

I have to teach a group of students that don't learn and are horrifyingly well-behaved. How bad is your job?

[boostedfailure]

"Here? I'm the guy who has to clean up after the idiots in the hospital. At home... Well, you wouldn't believe me if I told you."

[lookouttiger]

[Now she's curious.]

I've been kidnapped by a town that's trying to convince me I'm from 60's America. The suspension of disbelief is kind of dead.

Come on, what's the harm in telling a stranger?

[boostedfailure]

[He shakes his head and shrugs]

"Costumed defender of justice. Course most of my costume isn't here."

[lookouttiger]

...huh.

You're right. That does sound really silly.

[boostedfailure]

"Trust me, its must more impressive with the full suit and everything."

[lookouttiger]

[Somehow, she's skeptical despite her earlier statement. This man didn't look much like superhero potential to her.]

Well, paint me a picture! What does this crime-fighting gear look like and what does it do?

[boostedfailure]

"Blue and Gold with star motif."

[He hovers a few inches off the ground]

"Got the flying ring back, but the force field and super strength stuff are still kinda missing. You know, like the stuff they have in comic books."

ICON FAIL

[lookouttiger]

[Despite her earlier claim, she's staring blankly at the man as he floats before poking him a few times with her finger.]

F-flying...ring?

[boostedfailure]

"Trust me... Its not that impressive where I come from... And please stop poking me."

[Gets poked many times]

[lookouttiger]

[POOOOOOOOKE. She stops after that last one though. Then a metaphorical lightbulb goes off in her head and brings with it a devious smile.]

Saaaaaay...could I use that? Just for a minute?
