[Prompt 1: Willful Machine]

[Hayato was nothing if not adaptable. He’s lived a preposterously strange and dangerous life and if he was good and stuck here, then he had to make the best of it while he tried to understand his situation better. He was a people person, despite the often solitary life he had to live, and he found he did his best work immersing himself in the people around him. Trench was an endlessly fascinating, if baffling, city, and the people here were equally curious.]

[He’s spent plenty of time flagging down Sleepers for information, so this time he’s focusing a little on the locals. They’re friendly and more than willing to speak to him, which is nice, though a little strange. There’s a weird irreverence for Sleepers from the locals — Trenchies — and he’s not sure what to make of that.]

[For now he can be found speaking to a family just outside a clothing shop. It seems they’re explaining to him a bit about the philosophies of practical vs indulgent, and Hayato is listening with rapt attention. After a moment he asks for a picture, and delighted, the Trenchies oblige.]

[He steps back with his camera.]


Alright now. Say squid legs!

[The kids laugh, and Hayato snaps the photo. Pleased, he stands up and offers them a small card.]

Thanks a bunch for speaking with me. Once I’ve got the means to develop these, I’ll send you a copy, yeah?

[Looks like he’s free now.]



[Prompt 2: Raccoon Room]

[Hayato’s been popping in and out of places around town to get a feel for the atmosphere. He’s seen a lot of interesting places! Lot’s of nightlife it seems like. It doesn’t take him long to stumble onto the Raccoon Room, which he finds out quickly is Sleeper run and owned. That was interesting.]

[Liking the vibe, Hayato finds himself a booth to sit at with a drink. It’s quieter in here for the moment, and so Hayato has his camera, a notebook, and some scattered papers he seems to be pouring over while he looks up occasionally to people watch, or take in any performance that might be happening on stage. You’d think someone wouldn’t be able to get any work done with the noise of a place like this, but it doesn’t seem to be bothering him any.]

[A fresh face with a unique sense of fashion, so clearly he is prime bothering material.]




[Prompt 3: He came with the storm]

[Beasts. This is what Anna had told him about. He sees now- they’re oddly far more grotesque than some of the monsters he’s had to fight, and yet, there is something sadder about it. These beasts were feral and vicious, but didn’t appear to be even remotely conscious of themselves.]

[It wasn’t like Shocker, or even Badan. Brainwashed monsters who spoke and acted with purpose. No …there was nothing like that in these Beasts, and so, the kindest thing to be done would be to put them down. He didn’t intend to take up the mantle of Hunter, but if he were in the right place at the right time, he wouldn’t turn his back on those who needed help.]

[And so, perhaps you are one of two options: 1. You happened to be in need of saving when the Beast came from the shadows with a roar. Or 2. You were already on the scene with the Beast and looked like you could use some help. Either way someone is in danger and back up has arrived in the dorm of a masked, armored figure.]

[A masked armored figure that greets the roar of the Beast by clocking it in the face and sending it hitting the ground with a bounce.]


Stay on your guard!

[Whoops indeed.

Perell winced sympathetically was the masked hero was slammed into a dumpster. He was himself hiding under a picnic table not too far away. Without a means if proper fighting, he didn't plan to engage directly-- or, at all-- but he couldn't just allow that stranger to be mauled by the creature.

A quick search revealed a sizeable rock amongst the debris. Perell made a grab for it-- and threw it in the opposite direction from them. ]

[Were Perell a less prickly sort, he may have burst out clapping at the incredibly display. Instead, his analytical mean stalled him and left him staring agape at the airborne kick]

What--

What the heck was that?!
frogiturgy: (tucci -- arms crossed)

it's fine!

[That's-- gross! So so gross!

Perell didn't even want to think about how the creature exploded, nor how the town was going to clear up the debris or vicera. In another time and place, he could have handled it himself. Instead, all he could do was stare.

Somehow, saltwater bubbling forth from his much abused lungs was preferable.]


I'm fine. Totally fine!

[He squeaked, not sounding all that confident, and pressed a hand down over his hat as a precaution while he assessed the damage.]

Nevermind that. What kinda person are you???

[... was it something he said?

Perell stared at the stranger, perplexed at the sudden cold turn. Ally to humanity was one thing-- but--]


You're not just gonna walk away, are you? You look like you're new in town. I can help answer some questions!
