Someone might wander into an odd situation. A man is forcibly dragged out of an electronics store, pulled by the back of his jacket onto the sidewalk, firm blue fingers digging into the lapel before he's tossed onto the sidewalk pavement.

The colorful stranger picks up a box and hefts it under his arm. The thrown man blinks in confusion behind thick-rimmed glasses before he scrambles to his feet on gangly legs and starts to run, one shoe lost somehow in his efforts to expose one of his ugly argyle socks. A few teenagers laugh as he goes, a couple of other preteens chase after to help him. In fact, there is an unusually high number of kids wandering around. And the adults? Don't seem to be acting all that adult. There are a couple of weirdos having a dance battle on a corner, a priest pulling down someone's pants like a ninja, a grown ass scruffy man carrying a stuffed animal half his size, and a couple of cyborg-looking guyss mostly in form-fitting black leather having a casual discussion with each other, leaning slinkily against a wall.

As the blue guy starts off in a particular direction, seemingly with a purpose, a generic-looking 'hero cop' stands in front of him. "Stop right there, criminal scum!"

The blue guy sighs deeply, the red fin on his head almost like a flag despite all the other strangeness going on around him, eyeing the cars for one he can both potentially steal and won't get that thing caught on while he tries to operate it. A green bug-like creature, about the size of a cat, buzzes by the car and does... something to the cop that suddenly has him turning and scolding the pantsed soul for stealing the car.

"Good job, Twig," Yondu grumbles as he examines a parked car through the window, trying to gauge space and ease of operation through the glass while the cop continues to lecture a parking meter. Twig lands on the roof and crawls over the vehicle, making adorable little noises at its master.
