[action, downtown Mayfield]
[People are, by now, perhaps accustomed to seeing strange green animals that had no business wandering around a 1950s neighborhood doing exactly that.

They may not, however, be accustomed to seeing lumbering green stegosauri being used as large billboards.]

Do you want to be a superhero? You, too, can save countless lives by joining the awesome cool superhero team, the Teen Titans! Auditions Saturday 7/26, 1124 Taylor, all day!

[phone]
~When there's trouble, you know who to caaaaall - TeEn tItANs!!
Mayfield sucks, but we're still standing taaaaaall - TEEN TITANS!!!
We'll beat up Zemekis once and for all.
Then we'll have a buncha tofu dogs...zall
'Cause when the - wait does it still need to rhyme with 'all'? How did this go again? Who even wrote this thing?

I mean, uh. Friends! Mayfieldians! Countrymen! Lend me your video games! This is your chance to shine; that's right, you heard me. For a limited time, you, too, can join the prestigious Jump City based superhero team, the Teen Titans! You don't even hafta be a teen, we'll totally take anyone. The only requirements are that you wanna kick Mayfield's butt. ...And you've gotta be really cool. And if anyone wants to codename themselves Robin, Starfire, Raven, or Cyborg and wear these special costumes I made, that's fine, too. Auditions will be this Saturday at 1124 Taylor, all day.

Oh, and Cain and Terra, you guys're totally my other two judges. I'm the nice guy and Terra's the girl, so Cain, you've gotta be the mean one.

[action, park]
[Beast Boy can be found later that day in the park with what appears to be... a smiling Raven. The apocalypse is surely nigh.]

Hey, Raven. Why do ducks quack?

Gee, Garfield! I don't know!

Sh! I said, call me Beast Boy.

OK, Garfield!

Ugh, no, whatever. Look, they quack 'cause they get all quacked up by my jokes.

Hahahahaha! You're so funny, Garfield! Tell me more!

......Yeah, no, this is totally not gonna work.

[And whenever he gets rid of the drone, Beast Boy sighs a little and sits by the edge of the pond, throwing in little rocks.]

[Jerk. Just gonna get himself a hot fudge sundae and plunk down across from Beast Boy.]

So Beast Boy, what kind of planet are you from?

[thebeastwithout]

Uh...

Earth?

[imstillhere]

...What's earth? You mean this planet Mayfield's on?

[thebeastwithout]

Yeah. ...You're a human, aren't cha? What planet are you from?

[imstillhere]

Yeah, I'm human. But I'm from the mining planet, Montressor.

[thebeastwithout]

...Huh.

So is this, like the future? Is that why you've got flying skateboards? We're all gonna go out and live on other planets?

[imstillhere]

It's a Solar Board.

But I guess so? I dunno. Whatever.

[It's too confusing okay?]

[thebeastwithout]

Aw, man! It would be awesome if we got more aliens invading so I can go out and kick their butts! I've only ever been to Starfire's crazy planet.

[Beast Boy is excited OK.]

[imstillhere]

Hey, not all aliens are bad. Just some of them are.

[Like Scroop.]

[thebeastwithout]

...Well. The ones that come to Earth are only ever the ones that wanna invade.

[imstillhere]

Guess I'll give you that.

[thebeastwithout]

((Sorry for the lateness. I just moved house. Feel free to drop the thread if you prefer!))

Not to worry! That's what superheroes like me are for.

[cue obnoxious popsicle slurping sounds.]

Never, unless you want to

[imstillhere]

What's a superhero anyway?

[thebeastwithout]

They're people like me! We do hero stuff - fightin' off bad guys, saving the world... you know.

[imstillhere]

No, I don't. We don't have those kinds of people where I'm from.

[thebeastwithout]

Uh...

That means your place is too nice to have too many bad guys, probably.

[imstillhere]

Not really, we have space pirates.

[thebeastwithout]

Don'tcha have space police, then?

[imstillhere]

Fat lot they're good for. [He's sounding a bit bitter on it too.]

All they do is just fly around and do nothing. And when someone's inn burns down they can't even catch the people who did it. They just get on your case if you're having fun.

[Okay, he's being extremely biased.]

[thebeastwithout]

Huh.

...Sounds kinda like personal experience. ...Hey, maybe you can try to be a hero.

[imstillhere]

[He kind of scoffs at that.]

Oh yeah, that'll be the day.

[He screws up way too much to ever be a hero. He just makes things worse for people.]

[thebeastwithout]

Hey, why not? I've seen heroes with worse gimmicks than flying skateboards.

[imstillhere]

Okay, first of all, it's a Solar surfer.
Second, I'd probably just mess up.

[thebeastwithout]

Well. You'd have to practice and train and stuff first, but I mean... look at me.

[imstillhere]

[Blink...]

What about you?

[You're scrawnier than he is.]
