The Park, All Morning and Afternoon, Saturday

[80s_sideburns]

Ken wanted to die.

He was sitting in the gazebo of the park, in a big chair.

Dressed like Santa, complete with fake beard. His 'ho ho ho's sounded a little snarky, but he was doing his best not to ruin it for the kids.

His shins already told him never to have his own children.

Last night's attack had Mack worried; in his line of work you never saw creatures like that without it meaning someone bigger was after something important.

Which was to say, a clue that might lead to one of the Corona Aurora jewels.

Tracker out, he was wandering around the town scanning for any jewel-linked unusual readings.

Well, he saw something unusual, all right.

And he was absolutely not above switching his Tracker into cameraphone mode to take a picture.

Ken had no idea about cellphone cameras. So he just raised an eyebrow.

Mack gave him a Totally Innocent Grin. "New hobby, or more of a calling in life?"

[80s_sideburns]

"Required by law," Ken said, simply.

Mack stared at his roommate. "Weird laws in this town, then. And I thought it was weird that it's illegal to leave the house without underwear in Thailand."

[80s_sideburns]

"How would they check that?" Ken asked.

[6mil_dvdplayer]

Mack spread his arms and shrugged broadly. "I wasn't actually in Thailand long enough to find out."

[80s_sideburns]

"Right," Ken said. "Well, thank you for that useless bit of trivia."

[6mil_dvdplayer]

"Not that useless if you ever actually end up in Thailand without underwear," Mack pointed out as he snapped another picture.

[80s_sideburns]

"What the hell is that thing, anyway?" Ken asked.

[6mil_dvdplayer]

"What, this?" Mack glanced at his Tracker. "Just my phone."

Ken already had issues with twenty-first century technology, so Mack didn't think "it's a high-tech device that transforms me into a costumed superhero with weapons I can pull out of my helmet, lets me call giant armored assault vehicles when I need them, has advanced analytical functions and GPS and oh yeah, it's a phone too" would be the . . . well, the most understandable explanation he could give.
