WHO: Marty and YOU!
WHERE: Around Heropa (beach, school, shopping district, wherever)
WHEN: any time within October; dates may vary thread to thread
WHAT: Marty out and about Heropa
WARNINGS: none, will add if needed!
a. frozen banana stand
[There's a small, yellow frozen banana stand strategically placed near one of the busier beaches in Heropa. It's compact enough that it only allows space for a maximum of two or three people within it, and that's before taking into consideration the bunches of bananas that line the walls, as if to remind passerby's that yes, the employees here are selling you banana products.
That is, if you didn't already get the idea after seeing FROZEN BANANAS plastered in large, bold font above the stand itself. And if you were truly that blind, well, you probably didn't notice the blinking lights lining the window-like opening to the stall, in which stands one of its employees.
Marty leans against the counter, half-afraid if he pushes too hard the whole thing will fall over. If he's got the look of a bored teenager, it's because he is; bored and slightly embarrassed, given his kitschy banana t-shirt complete with sticker, which reads, HI, MY NAME IS ______. (Because he forgot to fill it in.)
The DeLorean is parked along the nearest street he could find along the beachside, within viewing distance. Marty watches as people mill by, not really looking excited to be here.]
b. that high school they all go to (classroom)
[Marty was never a perfect student, but he wasn't a terrible one, either. He's not usually prone to sleeping in class (he's often flirted with the idea more than he's followed through with it), but between having to readjust to a new lifestyle in Heropa and not having a great sleep schedule even before he arrived here, he's just plain tired.
And it shows, as he sits in class at the end of the day, head on his desk. Asleep.
He's seated in the back, so it's easier for him to get away with it, being ducked down behind everyone else. But when the buzzer goes off, denoting that it's time to go home, and everyone gets up to leave, Marty startles awake. He jolts up, a single sheet of notebook paper stuck to his forehead.]
Present! [He says automatically, brain still catching up to him.]
c. heropa shopping district
[Today, Marty stands in front of a music store, hands in his pockets and peering in. It's obvious he's window shopping; he has the look of someone who obviously can't afford what he's looking at, but appreciates it nonetheless.
If you're passing by, he might spontaneously say:]
Isn't she a nice one?
[If you try to figure out what the teen is referring to, you may notice a shiny red electric guitar on display, lined up along with a few others that appear just as appealing to any musician, would-be or otherwise.]
d. choose your own adventure
[Did we have something planned? Do you have something else you'd want to play out? Feel free to create your own starter or send me a msg and I'll do so for you.]

What is the point of freezing a banana?
no subject
People like cool foods when it's warm and balmy, and even though it's October, it's Florida, so... [So October in Florida can still be warm and balmy, is his meaning.] And anyway, they're desserts, too. You can dip them in chocolate.
[All of that is said with an implied "I guess" at the end of it. He doesn't sound very committed to this particular job of his, but he'll make friendly banana conversation when asked.]

[He'd try to parse the details, but. Well. They pretty much are, aren't they?]
Yeah, I guess. Want to give one a try?
