(Engie's taken a break from work, and he's currently at the park, eating lunch. However, he notices that there's someone walking around, looking slightly nervous and fidgety. He waves him over.)

Hey there son, y'all right there?

[mr_eviloverlord]

[The voice startles him and he almost literally jumps off the ground, but quickly composes himself, putting on a false air of confidence.]

Oh-... oh yes! I'm doing phenomenally this fine day. [He keeps a distance, though, and continues to glance around him.] How about yourself, good sir?

[hardhat_truckie]

Not doin' too bad, I guess.

Y'sure you're fine? You seem pretty...jumpy. Oh! Could it be...

[hardhat_truckie]

...you're new in town?

[velesdonnersen]

[Oh, new blood. And there's something hauntingly familiar about the wariness, the defensive cockiness...the intelligence in the Heterodyne-green eyes...]

Yeah, it's real, you're here, it's not going away, and... welcome to Mayfield. I'm Tarvek Sturmvoraus, another of the Mayfield imports. Pull up a park bench, if you like.

[mr_eviloverlord]

[Megamind spins around when he hears a voice, quickly realizing he's being addressed. Aha! Someone's trying to be smart with him.]

Yes, yes, I already know all of that.

[He inches closer but simply stares warily at the park bench.]

Tar-...vek? I see, Tarvek. And just how many imports live here? [Yeah, still not sitting on the bench.]

[velesdonnersen]

[Hmmm. Interesting fellow. Clearly not someone used to hiding his feelings and thoughts: the felly telegraphs wariness and defensiveness...poor guy, But that twist on Tarvek's name has got to go! Good heavens

[mr_eviloverlord]

[Sighs and eyerolls.]

Yes, I know what a burger and shake are. You seem to assume that I might be from some archaic time period... like you know something.

[Simply stands there and waits for Tarvek to take him to the diner. He wasn't going to turn down a free meal.]

[Megamind may look as normal as the other humans here, but the grey-skinned, red-eyed, horned girl in the park is decidedly not. she makes a sniffing motion, then waves in his direction.]

[mr_eviloverlord]

[Megamind has stopped and stared, mouth hanging agape. Never mind the strange behavior of this person, it's her appearance that has him entranced. When she waves to him he quickly takes the invitation and walks right up to her, all of his uneasiness forgotten.]

You... I've never seen anyone like you. This is fantastic! You must tell me of your trials. Were they cruel to you? Was your home planet destroyed too?

[foretastes]

[that's enough to shock Terezi. how does this human know?] I have all kinds of trials, you would not believe! And, um, yeah, my planet was destroyed by meteors. How did you know?

[she looks amazed- and pretty intrigued, too.]

[ooc; Terezi is blind and 'sees' by detecting scent, so if you could fill this out, that would be wonderful! ♥]

[mr_eviloverlord]

[He's a bit saddened by this news. He then glances from side to side and lowers his voice.]

I, too, know that kind of loss. This [he points to his own face] isn't what I really look like. This place changed me.

[He looks suddenly worried.] But don't tell anyone, alright?

[Unfortunately, for this poor guy... it seems that Locke is good at spotting people he's never had the chance to meet yet. So he takes it upon himself to go and greet this newcomer. Nothing wrong with that, now was there?]

Hey, stranger!

Re: B

[mr_eviloverlord]

[Megamind whirls around when he hears this voice and seems immediately indignant... possibly a little unsure.]

Stranger? Don't you hey, stranger me! I'm an upstanding man about town. I was just-... on my way. To visit a friend. Yes.

[It doesn't seem to have occurred to Megamind that he wasn't being accused of being an alien, he just automatically assumes it.]

[r3lic_hunt3r]

Whoah, calm down there, buddy. Didn't mean you any harm.

[Locke watches him carefully for a moment, and tilts his head with a finger tapping his chin.]

Really? Guess there's a lot of people around this place. Guess I might've missed you at some point... even then!

[mr_eviloverlord]

[Maybe I was being a bit too harsh. Think *normal* thoughts.]

Yes, I guess so. I probably just blend in with the crowd. You know, because I look like a normal guy. Nothing strange here.

[notalwystrthful]

[ Well, Diana's fairly normal herself as far as appearances go. However, she has noticed that Megamind looks nervous and that has garnered her curiosity. She steps up and clears her throat to make her appearance known. ]

Hello. Are you new to Mayfield?

Re: B

[mr_eviloverlord]

[He practically jumps in the air and even holds his arms out in front of his face... then quickly lowers them and straightens himself, giving her an uneasy smile.]

Ollo! Yes, Mayfield. Oh, well... not that new. You know. It's-... it's been a few hours. [Yeah, this confidence thing isn't working.]

[notalwystrthful]

[ ... well, this reaction makes her pause and blink. Did she really look that terrifying? ]

I see. Do you have any questions about how things work? I'm Diana Ethelbert, sir.

[mr_eviloverlord]

[She really does seem like a nice girl and Megamind's uneasiness slowly fades. He gives her a genuine smile.]

I've already learned the basics. Nothing too dissimilar from the usual evil plot.

I'm M-... [Oh. No, he can't give her his real name. What if she recognizes it? His cover would be blown. Either way, what kind of normal human is named Megamind?] ...-Marty. Yes, Marty. [He suddenly feels a bit guilty for lying to her.] It's... a nickname. I'm afraid I can't give you my real name just yet.
