General Testrun (Because I am an impatient person)
1) [Random Street Corner.]
[You're probably going about your business, something or the other. Then as you're about to move on you see someone in his mid-teens rushing past a cornery, looking severely battered and like the hounds of hell were chasing him down. By mere luck - or perhaps your reflexes, he doesn't crash into you when he trips and eats pavement.]
Ugh.. ow.. H.. hey.. not... to sound too needy or anything.. but .. could you help me out...?
[He's struggling with his words as he does his best to get as much air as he could into his lungs and he's got a couple of scratches that are starting to leak blood.]
2) [Somewhere deserted.]
[Maybe you chanced upon this place by accident, maybe you found this kid to be a little suspicious, either way you've found a rather odd scene..]
Oh great... may as well add grand theft bovine onto the list of reasons those guys are trying to kill me...
[Volya's standing in front of a twenty meter-plus thing... . There's no other way to describe the twisted bipedal horror of flesh and metal with far too many fangs and several eyes that were NOT on its head. It was also holding a cow... surprisingly... the thing wasn't tearing the bovine into fountaining gore as one would expect (though the animal in question WAS looking plenty freaked)... rather it was just holding it before the teen.]
That's what I get for thinking I needed a little more milk... I bet you're proud of yourself.
[There was a noise that sounded like gurgling and a blender full of nails.]
3) [City streets.]
[You hear a soft humming as you look towards a garbage can and see this guy digging around from it.]
Rotten.. rotten.. wrapping... junk... empty... dammit why the heck to hobos make this look so easy-
[His musings were interrupted by the crack of thunder and the start of an afternoon rain.]
And now this.... glorious...
[He was grinding his teeth in agitation.]
4) [Inner City - Battle]
[There's utter chaos in the streets as several machines proceed to gang up on a large monster... however that monster doesn't seem to be attacking very much.... in fact it was just countering and struggling before just stopping in place and refusing to move as it was repeatedly pummeled.]
[Blood and metal rained down on the streets with each strike. The beast letting out an agonized howl... in tandem with a young man's scream of pain.]

[The apartment is...sparse. There's a TV, a couch, and a few folding chairs around a plastic table. The woman hangs up her coat, puts her umbrella in a stand by the door, and starts looking over a menu in the kitchen.]
Anything in particular you want? I'm just going to get the general Tso's.
no subject
Honestly? I'm just happy for anything I can get right now... but I'd really like some chicken!
no subject
[Evening routine start! She plops down on the couch, and flicks the TV onto the news channel. It starts going on about local crime stories, and the woman just silently watches.]
no subject
[And Volya watches... nothing on a bunch of crazies in suits?.... Well thank you god for small favors. Or would they have the cash to bribe the news agencies to pull them off the screens?]
.... thanks....
[Still, even if he was on the run... it wouldn't do to be impolite. His mother, father and relatives didn't raise him to be a brat. Though some of that may be a little of his own fault.]
no subject
Oh, I'll get it! [Which she does. a short while later she's spreading out food on the fold-up plastic table in what passes for a dining room.]
...It's been a while since I had someone to talk to over dinner, you know. So, what's your name?
no subject
[He has a rather wry smile on his face as he said it.]
no subject
Huh. Oh, sorry; most people know me by "Sophia the Evening Star."
no subject
Ah.ahahaha... sorry.. but... uh.. 'Sophia the Evening Star'?
[THAT SOUNDS LIKE A NAME ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WOULD USE. INITIATE PANIC?]
no subject
I had to fight for years to keep the world safe. Every week, some new monster would come out to try to suck out people's souls, or brainwash them into its servants, or murder my friends and I.
I wasn't alone, but...well, it doesn't matter. I'm retired now.
[nom nom nom.]
no subject
[He's just feeling like he dodged a major bullet but at the same time is still experiencing major amounts of 'I'M GOING TO DIE'.]
So... you just stopped? Just like that?
no subject
We went out and killed the source of all the monsters we'd been dealing with. This was all back in highschool, so we went our separate ways after graduation. Every now and then I get a call from them...
no subject
[The urge to just eat quickly and flee was overwhelming. It truly was, but it would've drawn even more attention.]
You talk about the 'good old days' a lot?
no subject
...Look, this is going to be depressing if it goes much farther. Why don't you talk about yourself for a bit?
no subject
[he shrugs and leans back in the chair.]
I stayed with my uncle... Got thrown out a few months ago thanks to some crazies who said I had an overdue library book and I had to die.
no subject
...Who's chasing after you, exactly? Did they give a name?
no subject
You'd figure guys like that would do more than chasing me outta school...
no subject
...And they're trying to kill you?
no subject
[And Volya's relatively calm expression was starting to get frayed with panic.]
no subject
[a sigh.]
You can eat as much as you want, and you can spend the night. I have to leave for work at around four, so...at noon, you're going to have to leave. And I will try to kill you past that.
no subject
[Knew it was too good to be true. Still... at least he had a sort of full stomach today and a roof over his head.]
But... just so you know... I really owe you for this... thank you...
no subject
...It just feels wrong to take you out now, or while you're sleeping...I'm a retired superhero, not a retired assassin.
But there's a chance they'll need to call on me later, and...it's hard to kill someone who's been kind to you.
no subject
[Killed. But he doesn't say that.]
... You at least gave me some warning and a warm place to stay for a while... more than I can say for most people after those guys had me on the run.
no subject
...So don't mention it. I might change my mind.
no subject
[He's seriously looking agitated here.]
Why the heck does everyone say I'm DESTINED to destroy the world?! I just want to get on with my life! That's ALL I WANT!!!
Prophecy?! Destiny?! I'd take having a bunch of guys angry that I was jaywalking than something that sounds as stupid as that!
no subject
You may not want to destroy the world, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Maybe your powers rage out of control. Maybe you go completely insane. Maybe some villain brainwashes you into doing their bidding in the future. But it will happen, unless the appropriate measures are taken.
