[Metro] Random Locations/Streets
Random Locations & Streets Thread"σπίτια γιά πώληση"
A Metropolis Thread
This is the location for all those locations in Metro that are too small to warrant their own thread but are needed for one scene or another.
Library, Police Station, Abandoned Warehouse. We have it all here.
In addition this thread is merged with the streets thread so all the random locations about the streets belong here too.
The city streets - dirty, littered with debris and garbage. They are the same ashy gray color as the rest of the city, and despite cleaning crews working around it clock, there is never a marked improvement in its appearance. Wild dogs and cats can be seen down alleyways or in dumpsters. Every now and then, there is a city-provided bench or trashcan - cemented down, of course. A few of the alleys are home to those with no other place to lay their heads - and though the authorities chase them out nearly every other day, they return.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
[That One Street Corner]
A young man stands on a corner, playing the saxaphone. His drab jacket lays limp on his shoulders, the once crisp, deep black, now a dingy, faded, coal color. His eyes look around the streets lazily, stormcloud colored pools to catch any people that may be around. He kicks his battered saxaphone case lightly when somebody walks by, his black canvas shoes torn and pock marked, his pants frayed and a dingy green in color, hang low on his hips. His black t-shirt with a white line drawing of Pisces on it, is wrinkled and faded with several stains on it. It's obvious he's been on the streets for a while and well, he hasn't done anything about it. As he groves with his sax, a man walks by and drops a dollar in the case. He smiles briefly, sucks in some air, and begins to grove once againLast edited by IcemanJRC; 2010-12-14 at 11:00 PM.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
A cat walks up to the man playing the sax. A cat that is too white to even be albino. It mewls.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
The sax man looks at the cat and, seeing nobody at the corner currently, sits down.
Hey little cat dude, what's cracking?
His voice is mellow, slightly raspy, but actually pleasant overall, like a grandpa or something. He holds out a hand for the cat and snorts lightly.

[Saxaphone Street]
John trudges through the streets, kicking rocks with his hobnail boots. He doesn't look happy. He notes the man and the cat, but doesn't say anything, just leans against a streetlight and listens.Meese Mobster by smuchmuch.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
The cat morphs into a fourteen year old boy, who is whiter than seems humanly possible. Whiter than someone affected by Albinism. Even his hair and shorts are white. The boy smiles cheerfully.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
The mans hand briefly turns into a wispy black smoke before recollecting back into his hand as the boy morphs. He narrows his eyes and says,
Kid, it's best not to do that. Some people are a lot more dangerous than me and a quick change like that would have them at your throat. Startling people is dangerous.
He sighs and stands up,
Do you want something dude?
He plays a soft, slow song on his instrument as he waits for the boys response.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
[Mercy Medical]
Mercy Medical Hospital. Once a bright light of hope, now an abandoned wreak of a building. The times had changed, the city grew, and a bigger and better facility was built. But that hospital required an ID for entry, and it was ran and monitored by the Government, so many residents-- namely prisoners-- refused to trust it.
But hope remains, even if it's just a glimmer. MM has reopened its doors, at least secretly. If you don't have an ID badge, or just don't want the Government knowing any more about you, then Mercy Medical is the hospital for you.
The building is a four story brick facade, with several windows on the first two floors smashed and boarded. The main doors remain chained, more for the appearance than for security, but the people in the neighborhood know several back ways in. The first floor is almost completely ruined, but the upper levels remain relatively untouched, as does the basement (currently occupied).
Dr. Deadite wipes his forehead as he continues to work on his current patient- a simple procedure, but under the current circumstances, even a simple case can be deadly.
We have a bleeder! I need a clamp. Dammit, I said a clamp, not forceps! And bring that light closer. The robotic arms (self built) do as they are bid, controlled by Deadite's powers as he focuses on the surgery. The bleeding is stopped, and Dr. Deadite closes up. "Good work. Take him to the ICU. I'll be up in a minute." The motorized bed leaves the operating suite and heads towards the elevator, the patient still sedated. Dr. Deadite looks around. He's only been working for a few weeks, and his case load was already full. Word got around that a doctor who didn't care if you were registered was in town, and... well, thank whatever God there was that Dr. D didn't need sleep.
He checks his computer, a kludged together device he's been tinkering with for years that is more powerful than almost any other in the world. That was his last patient for the night, he could finally rest. Well, once he's made sure everyone upstairs was still alive. He smiles at the irony as he heads up to check on his patients.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
[Saint Charles Memorial Hospital]
The other hospital. The large, brightly-lit, I.D.-requiring, government run hospital. The one with the signs pointing it out and the funding to get the best equipment. Although it is government run, the government realizes that this is a hospital in Metropolis, so the place emphasizes professionalism, no matter what's wrong with you. Of course, the place still has cops stationed there, and they have various ways to control people with various powers, but that stuff is necessary to keep some patients from harming themselves. In the early days of the city, there were some instances of powered patients being taken advantage of while recovering, but the cops now keep just as strict an eye on themselves, here, as they do on the mutants. The place also has a bunch of research labs that have attracted lots of people from outside to study mutant volunteers and any new illnesses that might spring up.
Dr. Farcy plodded his way down the street, slowly and resentfully sliding his gaze around, as he approached the hospital. They don't deserve me. I've worked in better hospitals, been paid more than this place is offering. I should just be a fry cook. That'd show 'em!
He flashed his I. D. at the door and, after tiredly snearing at the thing, put it away. Inside, he took a deep breath and allowed the energy of the hospital to seep into him. He thrived on the efficiency of a well-ordered hospital, and, after a moment, a grim smile grew on his lips. Who am I kidding? I might have flown here myself, just for the research!
He started at the attractive receptionist, when he realized that she wasn't just vaguely exotic-looking. Her hair was actually a crest of red feathers, and her eyes were those of a bird of prey. "Ah, hello. I am Dr. Farcy, here for an interview, in ten minutes. Where am I headed?"
The lady gave him a warm smile and tapped her name badge with a pen. "Hello, I'm Jen. Dr. Farcy? Let me see..." After a bit of typing, a door behind the desk snapped unlocked, then opened to admit a cop made a lot more bulky by the glut of equipment he was wearing. Jen glanced behind her and waved Dr. Farcy. "Could you take the doctor to his interview, please? We wouldn't want him getting lost, on the way."
Farcy grimaced, then shrugged as if it didn't really matter, when Jen gave him a commiserating look. "Yes, fine. Take me in, then."
((And I can breeze by an interview to get him a job, or someone can come up with some cool dude to hire him. Whatever works.))You're either an Outcast, or you're in denial.
Strength and stupidity in numbers.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
Swish. Swish.
It's that girl again. The street-cleaner with the bomber jacket and the white hair, the oxidized-copper-green eyes and the big, black gym shoes with hopelessly gaudy green stripes.
Swish. Swish.
She's cleaning the street a ways down from Quartz, pushbroom in her hands and a canvas bag on one shoulder.
Swish. Clink.
She picks up a dented can and puts it in the bag, the recyclable-waste bag.
Then she notices Quartz and blinks curiously.Last edited by Beans; 2010-12-15 at 04:34 PM.

Seeing as the strange boy has found an equally strange girl, he goes back to grooving, the mellow jazz wafting out into the air and circling around the heads of passers by. He closes his eye and sways with his song.Uncle Fong, from Bibliography, and Chibi Fong Avatar By Elagune

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
Javelin XIII wa suppose to be relocated after the Enigma Incident.
Relocated somewhere with a catnip garden and a coffee bar.
Instead he was relocated to a prison.
Amos scowled (as much as a sentient cat can) as he thought of the Colonel's idea of a joke.
Sure, give me a reprieve. Done with fighting.
And now you get to hang out in Metropolis and kick twice as many criminal asses as you did on the outside. Except now half of them know who you are.
Amos mewed and strutted down the street, his previously white fur turned gray by the copious ash.

Re: [Metro] Random Locations/Streets
Amos continues towards the corner, a plan formulting in his mind as he sees the large group of people.
He walks into the middle of them and plops down on the pavement, then says to all the humanoids on the corner, telepathically.
"Awww, look at the cute kitten! He looks so sad... you should take him home and get him some coffee, amirite?"
The coffee bit might have overdone it, he realizes.
EDIT: Attack of the cats much?
