The New Guy in Town [Open]

Dhiren walked down the sidewalk, dressed in stained slacks and a worn-out button-down shirt. As he walked, he looked thoughtfully at the shops lining the street.

"Hmm, not too many places here that I'd actually want to work at," he thought, as he gazed upon a particularly run-down and dirty Burger King, "but I suppose I'll have to make due. There aren't many places that will hire me."

As he stood there thinking about it, however, he thought better of applying. He continued walking, hoping some idea would come to him.

"Perhaps a job in construction would fit... I'd just have to be careful not to use my powers."

He walked down the street, spying a newspaper that was caught on a traffic sign. Hoping it would be the Classifieds, he went over to pick it up. It was the Comics section.

"Typical." he thought, balling up the newspaper and throwing it away with unnecessary force, "I know what to do when life hands you lemons, but what do you do when it starts laughing at you too?"

Sighing heavily, he lurched gloomily into a nearby cafe, wondering if he would even be able to buy food with what he had left. He sat down at the bar and began looking at the prices...

aura sit at the back of the room as he seen the man walking in thinkiing about what to order she looked through the menu and the walked up to the bar sittin about three chairs away from the man that just walked in and told the bar keep she wanted chilli cheese hot fries with extra hot peppers as she pulled a ciggaret out from behind her ear and snaped her fingers and it lit as she sit and took a puff of her ciggaret waiting for her food

Kip looked up at the menu as well, a cafe was the place to Kip at anytime, his near addiction to coffee made it a prime spot for the hero. "You know you probably picked the wrong spot" he said turning his head slightly to Dhiren. "Everything here is way too expensive, they take pride in their work" he said pointing at the outlandish prices. "But I have to say they caught my attention, this stuff isn't bad." he said holding up a empty Styrofoam coffee cup and he tossed it into a nearby trashcan. "But I couldn't live with myself if you didn't try this, how about I pay for your first glass, eh?" Kip slid him a ten dollar bill, this man looked in need of at least some financial help, and it couldn't hurt for Kip to buy his coffee, with this gesture Kip turned his attention to the more interesting thing to him....a girl. Kip walked up to the table in which Aura sat, and without asking he sat down, he noticed earlier her demonstration of powers. "That was pretty cool, wanna show me how you did that" he said with a smile.

Dhiren watched the strange man go. Suddenly, remembering the customs of this land, he tried to thank him.
"Uh, T-Thanks!" he stammered out. This strange new language felt unnatural on his tongue.
"Hmm, now he's just walking away... what a strange person. However, I suppose it would also be rude to refuse his generosity."
Taking the ten dollar bill, he handed it to the waitress and asked for what the man had ordered, buying another sandwich with what was left over. As the waitress came to the table, he began to wonder about this strange foreign drink. The other man seemed to have enjoyed it a great deal. In great anticipation, he waited for the nurse to bring it. When it arrived...
"Th-This is..." he couldn't believe his eyes, "muddy water? And scalding hot as well?"
"Is this a joke? No... I saw him drink it just now."
Dubiously, he took his first sip. It was very bitter and hot.
"Is it a challenge of sorts? If you can drink it all while it's hot, does it prove something? Has he just grown used to the taste?"
Confused, he decided the best course of action would be to simply drink it and pretend to have enjoyed it. Steeling himself, he tipped it back and drank the entire scalding cup in one huge gulp. Doing his best to smile after pouring near-boiling water down his throat, he ordered a refill on the water.

After drinking the water, he thought he would ask the man about the strange drink. Looking over, he saw him speaking a woman in the corner.
"No, I suppose that would be rude. Besides, I would just end up looking foolish in front of both of them."
He turned back around and dejectedly continued eating his sandwich.

She snapped her fingers again and the already-hot beverage exploded all over the table. It was about that time that the barkeep brought her food, nearly unphased by the explosion. Apparently he was used to this sort of thing. She just smirked and took a bite of her food. "How was that? Satisfied?" She punctuated her question by downing a gulp of straight chili sauce.

Im not bitchin, just trying to help ))
